Foolish Beat - Chapter 26
by JT Poole


* Somewhere in North Carolina - Rest Stop *

"Baby, baby what's wrong?  What did Johnny say?"  Joey asked, picking up
Sean's broken phone off the ground.

"JC and Lance get your asses over here now!"  Sean screamed, causing
everyone to stop what they were doing and stare at him.  "Get on the damn
bus, we need to talk, there's a problem."

"Shit, what's wrong Brandon, why are you yelling?"  Joey asked.  "What did
they do?"

"Come on guys, move it.  Chris, Joey, Justin move your asses, this concerns
all of you.  Get!"  Sean screamed one more time.

* N Sync Tour Bus *

As all of the guys gathered on the bus, Sean walked into the lounge and
dialed Johnny Wright's number on the table phone.

"About time you called back.  What was that for Sean?"  Johnny asked.
"Tell me what's going on this tour?"

"Well I don't know how to explain that Johnny.  Maybe JC and Lance can
explain why there is a picture of the two of them kissing in the
'Enquirer'."  Sean stated.

"What!!!"  Justin screamed.  "There's a picture of JC and Lance kissing?"

"There must be some explanation for that.  I had no idea that JC and Lance
were dating.  The last I knew, Lance was against all of that homosexual
stuff."  Johnny stated.

"Well I was, but I kind of came to terms with it and well me and JC got
together.  We are sorry.  We didn't mean to be seen kissing."  Lance
explained.

"It's not Lance's fault altogether, I have some blame in this too."  JC
spoke.  "What are we going to do about this?"

"Well I have already made arrangements to fly out to Durham, NC to meet up
with you guys.  When I get there, I will make arrangements to set up a
press conference to handle this.  By then you guys better have come up with
something to say, or you won't like me when I get there.  Sean, this better
turn out well, or you will have a person joining you to help keep things in
order.  Is that clear?"  Johnny asked.

"Crystal sir."  Sean asked, blushing a little bit, with sweat trickled down
his face.

"I will see you guys soon.  Guys tighten up or else."  Johnny stated as he
hung up the phone.

"I don't believe this!  I knew something was going to happen."  Justin
stated, getting up and walking out of the room.

"Okay guys, we need to think of something to explain to everyone why you
guys were kissing."  Sean stated, getting up rubbing his head.

"Excuse me Sean, but I think you need to take a look at this!"  Kevin
stated, running up to Sean and handing him a copy of the 'Enquirer'.

"Well at least we know what the world saw now.  Johnny saw it already,
that's why I needed to talk to these guys.  We are going to have a press
conference when we get to Durham, so that these two can explain to the
world why they were kissing each other."  Sean stated, smacking JC and
Lance across the head with the paper.

"Hey, don't mess up the hair."  JC stated.

"You have more things to worry about than your hair.  I suggest you get
started on an idea to explain your dilemma."  Kevin stated, as he walked
off the bus.

"JC what are we going to do?  Maybe Justin was right.  This picture shows
me leaning into you to kiss you."  Lance stated.  "This is my fault.  I
should have kept my lips to myself."

"The picture only shows you kissing me on my cheek.  That's not to bad, we
can just say that was a friendly kiss on the cheek."  JC stated.

"You haven't looked at page 30 have you, there are two more pictures there
that show us French kissing. How are we going to explain that."  Lance
asked.

"Damn!  We have a big problem.  How are we going to explain that without
coming out?"  JC stated.

"How about you tell the world that you guys were dared to kiss and you did
it.  Sounds simple to me."  Chris stated.

"Wow, that sounds like a good idea.  Wonder would anyone by that lame
excuse?"  JC stated.

"Come on Josh, it was all I could come up with, you guys are the ones that
were exposed.  I am sitting here trying to help you guys, I can be spending
time with my man, but no, I am here trying to help you guys and here you
are putting down my ideas.  I am outta here."  Chris stated as he got up
and walked off the bus too.

* Durham, NC - Tobey Maguire's Private Estate *

"Sir I have something to show you.  I think there are going to be some
troubles concerning the Backstreet Boys and N Sync."  Damien spoke, handing
Tobey the copy of the 'Enquirer' he was reading.

"Oh my god.  I bet they are going to get into trouble about that.  I didn't
know Lance and JC were gay."  Tobey spoke.

"I thought you had your eye on the young Mr. Carter, sir."  Damian spoke.


"I do, but I was just wondering about these two.  I hope this doesn't cause
any problems for them when they arrive here.  I really want to see Nick."
Tobey stated as he got up and walked over to the television.

"I am quite sure Mr. Carter wouldn't be affected by this.  That is a
problem for N Sync."  Damien stated.

"That's true, I am just a little worried that's all.  I don't want anything
to spoil this for me.  I won't Nick to be my boyfriend, I have lusted for
him since he was a kid.  Now that he's older now, I want him."  Tobey
stated, as Damien, left him in the room alone.

* Backstreet Boys Tour Bus *

"Alex are you okay now?  Has Nick spoken to you at all?"  Howie asked.

"No, he's still mad at me.  I am just going to leave him alone.  I have
screwed up with him enough, I am just going to wait until he is ready to
talk to me."  AJ stated.

"Do you really love him?  Are did you say that because you were feeling
sorry for him?" Howie asked

"I have feelings for him, but I don't know if I really love him like you
would love a boyfriend.  I can't explain it really, it's like when I am
around him, I just want to hold him and make him feel better.  I don't like
to see him sad.  I want to make everything okay for him."  AJ said.

"I don't know what to say about that.  You two will have to talk and work
it out.  Just don't say you love him and you really don't love him like
that.  I think that's why he's made with you."  Howie stated as he leaned
over and hugged AJ.

"Thanks for your advice Sweet D, I just wish Nick would talk to me though.
How is Jason by the way?"  AJ asked.

"I don't know.  The last I heard from him, he was at the hospital.  He told
me that someone might try to hurt me or something.  I told him not to worry
since we have so many guards around."  Howie stated.

"Did he know who attacked him?  Was it a gay bashing or something?"  AJ
asked.

"I don't know.  He didn't tell me much, he just said that I should watch my
back."  Howie stated.  "I don't know, lately I have been feeling, like I
don't know, like this relationship between us is falling apart.  His family
is so deadest against us being together."

"You love him don't you?"  AJ asked.  "As long as you love him, that's all
that should matter.  Sometimes family has to get use to something, if they
can't then fuck'em they'll get over it."

"Yeah I guess, I do, but something is missing between us.  I guess it's the
being away from each other thing all the time."  Howie stated.

* Rest Stop - Outside *

"Hi, may I speak to Mr. Maguire, tell him its Nick Carter."  Nick spoke
into his cell phone.  "Thank you."

"Hello Mr. Carter, I am glad to hear your voice.  What do I owe the graces
of this phone call?"  Tobey asked, as he started smiling.

"Well I wanted to let you know that we are almost to Durham and I wanted to
take you up on your offer for dinner."  Nick stated.  "If the offer is
still available."

"Yes the offer is still open.  Should I meet you at the concert or should I
send a car for you?"  Tobey asked.

"Why don't you meet me at the concert and we can go from there."  Nick
stated.  "I can't wait to see you."

"I can't wait to see you either."  Tobey stated as he and Nick said their
goodbyes and ending the call.

Trying to prove to the others that he wasn't a pitiful loveless fool, Nick
made plans with Tobey so that he could find what he was looking for, the
love that he couldn't get elsewhere.
