Get some rest, we will be having a meeting in about fours so use the rest of your time this morning wisely." Sean stated as he handed everyone their room keycards. "Oh goody." Justin stated in a sarcastic tone. "Why can't we just have the meeting now and have the rest of the day to crash?" "Fine let's have the meeting now." Sean stated, getting groans from the other guys. "Man, I am still sleepy and tired." Chris stated, he and Brian walked over to the couch in the lobby and sat down. "Way to go fuck head." "Just great." JC stated as he and Lance sat besides Chris and Brian. "Calm down guys this shouldn't take so long." Sean stated. "Come on, right this way." "If you were not my friend I would kick my foot in your ass. You need to chill with the attitude." Joey stated, walking over to Justin. "I'm not in the mood Joe. I just want to get all this crap over with." Justin stated. "What is your problem man?" Joey asked. "You have been acting like a punk ass bitch for the longest time and it's starting to get on my nerves." "Shhhh...cut it out you two." Sean stated, grabbing Joey and Justin and pulling them into the conference room. "Well he started it Sean, you might need to put your man on a leash." Justin stated walking away from them. "Baby are you okay?" Sean asked. "I am fine Brandon. Justin is just pissing me off with the way he's been acting lately." Joey stated. "I know. It seems we are all pissed with someone around here." Sean stated as he walked into the room and sat down at the table. "Okay so get on with it." Justin stated. "I have had just about enough out of you Mr. Timberlake. You sit down and shut your mouth and I mean now!" Sean screamed, walking over to Justin, standing in front of him as he got a scared look on his face and sat down in the chair, causing everyone in the room to sit down that was still standing up. "Now that I have everyone's attention, let's get things started." "Sean are you okay man?" Brian asked. "I am fine. Don't worry about me, worry about yourselves." Sean stated. "What's wrong, why are you acting like this?" Kevin asked. "Could it be that we are all adults around here and yet it seems like I am babysitting children?" Sean stated, walking back down to his chair and sitting down. "For the last couple of days, it seems all I do is spend my time breaking up arguments are listen to you all complain about someone else. I am fed up with it all. As of today, this is how things are going to be. On the N Sync bus I will be on it along with Joey, Lance, JC, Brian and Chris. On the Backstreet Bus there will be Kevin, AJ, Howie, Nick, Tobey and Damien as long as they are with us. I am not changing these arrangements. You all will have to live with it and get over it." "What!" Kevin screamed. "I don't want to be cooped up on a bus with him, he's a stranger." "Don't you even get started Kevin. I will get to you in a minute." Sean stated. "Also, Justin I am tired of the drama that's going on with you and the other guys. Deal with it or else." "What do you mean deal with it?" Justin asked. "Just what I mean deal with it." Sean stated. "This crap has been going on since we left the second city. This will not go on no longer." "Well this isn't my fault, it's theirs." Justin stated pointing at JC and Lance. "What the hell did we do?" Lance asked. "That's what I am talking about. Ever since they got together you have had attitude. I first thought you were worried that something would happen because of Lance's attitude beforehand, but I don't think that's still the problem." Sean stated, getting up and walking over to Justin. "Tell us Justin, what seems to be the problem? Why are you still causing problems for them?" "I am not causing problems for them." Justin stated. "Like hell you are." Lance stated. "They are causing problems for themselves." Justin stated. "Justin what's the real reason behind your attitude? Is it that you are in love with either Josh are Lance? Or is it that you want something similar to what they have?" Sean asked getting up in Justin's face. "Fuck you man!" Justin screamed as he pushed Sean out of his face and ran out of the room. // 2 Hours Later -- Lance and JC's Room // "So you think Justin's gay and in love with one of us?" Lance asked. "No I don't think that at all. I just think he doesn't want us together." JC stated. "Why? Why wouldn't he want us together?" Lance asked. "Probably because he knows I still like woman on some level." JC stated. "Well of course you do. You are bisexual. You told me that when we started dating." Lance stated. "This isn't dating." JC stated, getting up and walking across the room. "What do you mean Josh?" Lance asked, walking over to him to wrap his arms around JC's waist. "This, us. This what we are doing is not dating." JC stated. "I don't know what it is, but it isn't dating." "Well right now, this is all we have." Lance stated. "Well I don't want this anymore, I want something more, something that I can brag about and I don't have that with you." JC stated. "What the hell do you mean by that?" Lance stated, as he started to cry. "Look at us, all we do is defend our relationship. Every time we turn around we are arguing about something and I can't take it anymore." JC stated. "But I love you Josh." Lance stated. "I don't love you." JC stated, grabbing his stuff and walking out of the room. // Outside on the N Sync Bus -- 1 Hour Previously // "Oh god please tell me what to do, what I want to do can't be the right answer." Justin spoke aloud. "I am not like them, I am just different...I'm different. That's all that's wrong with me, I am just different." "How different are you Justin?" Kevin asked, walking onto the bus. "What the hell are you doing here?" Justin asked, jumping up from his seat and walking to the back of the bus. "I actually hadn't seen you since you left the conference room. I came to see if you were okay." Kevin stated. "I'm fucking fine." Justin stated. "Look Justin I am trying to be a friend here." Kevin stated. "I don't need any friends. I just need to be left alone." Justin stated as he walked into the lounge and closed the door in Kevin's face. "Justin, please, don't shut me out. I am here to talk. If you want to talk I will listen." Kevin stated. "Let me help you." "I just said I need to be left alone." Justin spoke though the door. "I am not leaving you Justin. Not like this." Kevin stated as the door opened in Justin was standing there looking at him. "Fine. What do you want to talk about?" Justin asked. "You." Kevin stated. "Why are you so upset, why are you so unhappy?" "I'm...I'm...I don't know." Justin stated. "Are you sure you don't know?" Kevin asked. "Could it be that you are..." "That I am what? Gay?" Justin asked. "Is that what you were going to ask me?" "Justin if you are it's okay, it's not like you are the only one if you are." Kevin stated, hugging Justin. "You don't understand. I can't be gay...I just can't be." Justin stated as he started to softly cry. "I have all these feelings in my head and I don't know what to do about them." "It's going to be okay." Kevin states as he leans over, lifts Justin's chin up and kisses him. "I'm sorry Justin, I didn't mean..." "It's okay Kevin." Justin stated as he pulled Kevin back over and kissed him back. ====================================== TO BE CONTINUED...
