Chapter 6

It had been at least two days since the outburst from Lance. Joey and JC
took it pretty hard, but with the help of their friends they were able to
work around it, for now at least. JC was at the airport waiting for his
cousin Stacy Diller to arrive. He waited patiently by the luggage check
with dark sunglasses and baseball cap. //Ugg! Christmas Eve and I'm at the
airport.\\ He looked down at his clock and it read 3:30. //She should be
here.\\ He thought to himself.

"JOSH!" Someone yelled in front of him.

He looked up and had this cheesy grin on his face.

"Stacy." He shouted back. She ran to him and they hugged each other.

"How you doing? Sorry it took me so long. I was chatting with a fan." She
smiled.

"It's no problem. Let's get your luggage."

About two minutes later, Stacy and JC were in the car.

"So how's things?" She asked chewing her gum.

"Ok, could be better." He said kind sad.

"Why what's wrong?" She asked turning to him.

"Well, I'm seeing Joey, from the group. And he and I came out to the guys
and, Lance kind of took it badly."

"Well you have to give people time." She said putting her hand on his.

"I know, but I always thought that Lance would be the open minded one."

"I know Josh, but sometimes, it's not as easy for them to take it as you
think. Have either of you told your parents?"

When she asked that JC looked at her with a little fear in his face.

"No. Not yet."

"Ok. So where are we headed? I noticed that we're not headed to your
house."

"Mall, I want to pick up some presents for the guys for christmas."

"Ah, still the same old Joshie, always last minute shopping."

JC's House

Back at JC's place Joey was just finishing putting up some Christmas
lights.  He was humming to himself while putting the last of the lights
up. He was happy and very grateful to be with JC, he was very happy
indeed. It was like a part of him was finally completed. He couldn't
remember the last time he had felt so happy. He went into his and JC's room
and grabbed the bag he had hidden under the bed. He smiled to himself and
took out the gifts he bought for JC and the guys and placed then under the
tree. He and JC were throwing a little Christmas party at the house. They
had invited all the guys, including Lance, whether he would show up or not
was a totally different story. He looked at the time. 4:00, he had a half
an hour to get ready, so he quickly jumped into the shower.

Justin's House

"Britney, where are my pants?" Justin asked going through his room.

"They are on your bed, where you left them." She answered from the
bathroom.

Justin quickly put on his pants and fixed his hair.

Britney stood in the doorway smiling at her man.

"Justin, your hair is fine. Let's go."

"Ok, just a second." He said running the comb through his hair one more
time.

Britney just rolled her eyes.

Back At JC's House

JC, Stacy and Joey were in the living room chatting away. Stacy had a small
grin on her face.

JC noticed her grin.

"What?" He asked her.

"Nothing, it's just that you two are so cute together." She said beaming.

JC and Joey just giggled.

"So when do I get to open my gifts?" Joey asked bouncing like a little
child.

"On Christmas." JC said plain and simple.

"But." Before Joey could even add any more to that the doorbell rang.

Stacy got up and answered it. It was Justin, Britney, Chris and Dani.

Everyone said their 'hellos'.

"Would anyone like some eggnog?" Stacy asked as she got up.

Everyone raised their hand but Danni

"Danni, could you please give me a hand?" She asked.

"Sure, I don't mind."

"I mind said Chris." Who had his head on Danni's shoulder.

Danni just rolled her eyes and got up.

"So Justin what did you get Britney for Christmas?"  Chris asked not
expecting a answer.

"I believe Jay Leno hinted towards pearls." Britney said smiling.

"You'll have to wait and see." Justin said smiling.

There was a small amount of laughter from the group.

Danni and Stacy returned with the eggnog.

Chris took a sip of his nog and was surprised that it wasn't spiked.

"Hey hey, where's the alcohol in this stuff."

"There will be no alcohol this year, especially for you." JC said.

"Yeah do we really need to go over what happened last year." Justin added.

"What happened last year?" Stacy asked.

"Well, Chris over here thought he could run around outside naked. It was
pretty funny until he ran into some carolers. And I think he got a bad case
of the 'blue balls' also."

Everyone just busted out laughing when the door bell rang.

"I'll get it." Joey got up and answered the door. It was Lance.

Lance just looked at Joey and bit his lip.

"You coming in?" Joey asked.

"Is it ok?" Lance asked.

"Yeah.  Come on, everyone is in the living room reminiscing on last year's
blue balls memory."

"Ah, that's when Chris ran into those carolers right?"

"Yep."

"Hey guys!  Look who's here?"

"Lance." JC said more shocked than anything.

"I'm sorry Josh and Joey, It was just a shock to me." Lance said with small
tears.

"Oh, Lance, it's ok. We're not mad at you." Joey said.

Joey and JC both hugged Lance.

Lance took a seat between Danni and Stacy. He smiled at Stacy and mouthed
the words 'Thank You' to her. She just nodded and placed her hand on his.

"Hey JC how about a song." Britney said.

"Hmm, ok, but I'm not going to do a Christmas song. I want to do a special
song, for someone special." He said looking at Joey.

JC went over to his piano and started to play the intro to Thank You For
Loving Me. And he started to sing

It's hard for me to say the things

I want to say sometimes

There's no one here but you and me

And that broken old street light

Lock the doors

We'll leave the world outside

All I've got to give to you

Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me

For being my eyes

When I couldn't see

For parting my lips

When I couldn't breathe

Thank you for loving me

Thank you for loving me

Joey made his way next to JC and started to sing with him also. Placing his
arm around JC's shoulder.

I never knew I had a dream

Until that dream was you

When I look into your eyes

The sky's a different blue

Cross my heart I wear no disguise

If I tried, you'd make believe

That you believed my lies

Thank you for loving me

For being my eyes

When I couldn't see

For parting my lips

When I couldn't breathe

Thank you for loving me

You pick me up when I fall down

You ring the bell before they count me out

If I was drowning you would part the sea

And risk your own life to rescue me

Soon everyone in the room was singing along to the song. All the lovers
were looking into each other's eyes. Lance and Stacy even stared into each
other's eyes as they sang with the rest of the group.

Lock the doors

We'll leave the world outside

All I've got to give to you

Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me

For being my eyes

When I couldn't see

You parted my lips

When I couldn't breathe

Thank you for loving me

When I couldn't fly

Oh, you gave me wings

You parted my lips

When I couldn't breathe

Thank you for loving me

At the end of the song, JC and Joey kisses as well as everyone else.

Lance just looked at Stacy shyly.

//Oh the hell with it.\\ Stacy said to herself as she grabbed Lance then
kissed him.
