Story: Trust Me (This Is Love)
Author's Note: This is my first story, so please try to be kind in your
feedback. If it is really that bad, then I will stop writing. I want
people to tell me what they think of the story. I already have other
chapters written, so if people want, I will post those after. Let's just
see how this goes, first.
Disclaimer: I do not know the sexuality of any person mentioned in this
story, specifically Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez. It would be nice if
they were in love, but I highly doubt that. All events are fictitious, and
any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidence.
Trust Me (This Is Love) - Chapter 1
"Do you have any idea how hard this has been for me?" JC yelled.
"Well it hasn't exactly been easy for me, Josh!" Justin yelled back.
"Justin, I love you with all my heart," JC began, much more calmly,
"but I'm not ready for the guys and the whole world to know that I am gay."
"I thought that we could help each other through anything and that you
would always be there for me!?" Justin said, his eyes filling with tears.
"I will always be there for you, Just" JC replied trying to calm the
now crying younger man, "but I can't deal with this right now, everything
is too crazy."
"Fine," Justin shouted while standing up "if you are not ready to take
that step, then I am not going to wait around for you." Justin left the
room quickly, slamming the door behind himself. JC sat on the bed crying,
knowing that he had just ruined the best thing that ever happened to him.
All 5 guys arrived at the venue for the concert. Eden's Crush was
opening for them, and Chris and Joey were definitely obsessed. Lance
noticed that Justin and JC had not spoken all day and that something was
seriously wrong.
"What's wrong, Curly?" Lance asked.
"Nothing" Justin replied smugly.
"Sorry!" Lance said back and walked away, obviously not liking the way
that he was treated by his so-called friend.
"Where's JC?" Chris asked.
"I'm not sure," Joey answered, "he was here a minute ago."
JC sauntered into the room and saw his four bandmates sitting around.
Now that the babe-watching was over, Lance, Chris, and Joey sat on one
couch discussing the girls they had just watched, while Justin sat alone on
the other couch.
Lance was the first to notice that JC had returned.
"Where were you?" he questioned.
"Oh...I just had to talk to the tech crew about something." JC
replied.
"What about?" Chris inquired.
"Nothing important." was JC's only reply, not wanting the guys to know
the real reason why he had spoken to the crew.
The show went well, considering the obvious lack of chemistry between
Justin and JC. The members of N SYNC and the band all began to leave the
stage, that is, except for JC. He walked to the center of the stage, where
two microphones, a stool, and an acoustic guitar had been set up.
"Excuse me," JC said shyly into one of the mics. The audience who was
filing out of the stadium all turned and looked towards the stage and saw a
solitary man holding a guitar.
"Yesterday, I hurt someone that I love very much" JC began
"What is he doing?" Chris asked backstage looking confused.
"I have no idea" Joey answered sporting the same confused look.
"I want to say that I'm sorry" he continued "but that is not nearly
enough."
"Although I can't say who it is, they know who they are. I love you."
JC finished.
Lance, Chris, and Joey all looked towards JC's closest friend who he
was currently fighting with. Justin could only muster a small smile. With
the crowd all staring at the stage in awe, JC began to strum on the guitar.
Next, his voice was heard. It never sounded as beautiful as it did while
he sang to his true love.
I look at this mountain
So many heartaches wide
And I can't help but wonder
Where's the other side?
I've got to be honest
I've got my doubts
These tears are asking me
What's this got to do with love?
Baby, I'll tell you something
To help us through this long, dark night
When this trouble passes over
You and I will walk away
Knowing that our love survived
Another test of faith
You and I can walk on water
If the river rises, we'll rise above
It may not look that way right now
But trust me baby...this is love
Love isn't easy
I'm torn, I confess
When the heart is uncertain
It's bound to second guess
This love won't forsake us
So dry your tears, I promise you
When this trouble passes over
You and I will walk away
Knowing that our love survived
Another test of faith
You and I can walk on water
If the river rises, we'll rise above
It may not look that way right now
But trust me baby...this is love
I'm here for you baby
There's nothing I want more
Our day is coming
And we'll reach that peaceful shore
When this trouble passes over
You and I will walk away
Knowing that our love survived
Another test of faith
You and I can walk water on water
If the river rises, we'll rise above
It may not look that way right now
But trust me baby....this.....is love
Oh yes it is...baby
As JC finished the last note he placed the guitar down and began to
leave the stage. The crowd erupted into a frenzy like no one had ever
heard before. As he stepped off the stage, JC let a small smile spread
across his face. He found Justin standing alone crying.
"I'm so sorry baby" JC began, holding Justin to comfort him "if you
want to come out to everybody, then we will do it together."
"Its a little late for that" Justin said letting out a smile and
pointing to the guys and the rest of the band and crew. They all looked
towards the two men standing in an embrace. No one was surprised or
shocked. They had all suspected for a while that something was going on
between the "best friends." Everyone was happy that they had finally
admitted that they were in love.
