Subject: Here And Now (Part Two / boybands)

Disclaimer: I am in no way related to, know, or have ever met N Sync. This
story is completely fiction, and as far as i know none of the members of
nsync or anyone else in this story is bisexual or gay (oh what i would do if
JC really were). If you are 18 or you are not old enough in your local area,
i suggest that you hit the back button right now.

Authors Notes: This is the place people usually put this is their first
story. However, this isn't my first story. Hopefully it will be the first
story i finish. Anyone remember the story Mitch and Lance??? Didn't think
so. Well, i wrote it. You gotta scroll down a lot just to read it. IT was a
boring story anyhow. I wish i could tell ya that i have everything worked
out and i know what's going to happen, but i don't. It will be just as much
of a surprise to you as it is to me. But have no fear, i'm going to be
throwing in a lot of twists and turns, and a few unexpected things. Last
night was pretty hectic. I had let one of my friends read the story becuz
she wanted to, well what i didn't know was that she told a few other people,
and some found out about me. I was pretty gosh darn devastated and was about
ready to take my life. All is good now. And my dad knows about me. I dunno
if he told my mom, but he doesn't care. The stories will keep coming. After
i send this chapter. I'll start on chapter three!

***Last Time***
"Don't worry Lance, I've known Johnny since i was 10, i can handle him. If
anything, it was my fault. Tell them i was being a jerk and made us stop at
a few places." I knew it wouldn't be a good thing to lie to Johnny, but i
didn't really care. The least he could do was tell my dad, and i knew how to
handle him. We started to walk to the limo they had waiting. Suddenly i felt
someone pull at my arm. It was Justin.

 "Hey.... ummm Alexander...." I had to cut him off. I couldn't take it
anymore.

 "PLEASE call me Alex, I don't like the name Alexander at all. It makes me
sound like I'm 50. I'm only 21." I had thought about actually just changing
my name to Alex, but i figured it would be more of a hassle. I never had
liked being called Alexander or Al.

 "Ok. Alex, can i talk to you for a second. It's about what i said earlier,
and you might wanna know this."

***This Time***

 "Look Justin I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to be such a jerk when i
first met you by insulting you guys. I hope we can all just look past it and
move on."

 "Ummm... That's nice Alex, but i was talking about the other thing i said.
Ya know... when i said you were cute. Look I didn't think you could hear me
when i said that, but since you did, i might as well go ahead and tell you
that I'm gay." Justin seemed to be a little uneasy as he said this. I knew
it wasn't that easy to do.

 "Well that's good Justin. I'm glad you were able to share that with me." I
was kinda touched that he had told me that. He had only known me for about
15 minutes and here he was coming out to me already. I knew that we would
end up becoming friends.

 "You mean you don't mind that i'm gay. It usually scares people away." I
could tell he was shocked.

 "Why would i care i mean after all i'm Bisexual, so what's the big deal.
Come on Justin. It's my first day on the job and already I've managed to
make you guys late." I walked away before Justin even had a chance to
answer. I could tell he was shocked from the look he gave me as i turned
around to motion for him to come along. We climbed into the limo to find 8
eyes looking upon us. I just smiled as the limo began to pull away. I could
tell Justin still seemed a little surprised. He pushed Lance aside just so
he could sit beside me. I figured he was just trying to be nice and become
friends with me. Half way to the stadium, I could feel someone's hand on my
leg. I looked over to Justin and noticed that he had this great big grin on
his face. I just smiled back and politely moved his hand off my leg. I could
tell he was kinda hurt by this. I leaned over close to him and whispered in
his ear "We'll talk later." He just nodded. Most of the ride was in complete
silence. JC and Joey both had their headphones on listening to a cd. Chris
had fallen asleep and Lance was just looking out the window. Justin must
have realized that no one was really paying attention because the next thing
i knew, he was leaning his head on my shoulder. I didn't really mind that
much. I figured he was just tired and needed a pillow. We finally got to the
stadium. The guys went off one way, and i walked around the stadium trying
to see if I could find Johnny. I finally found him talking on the phone. I
knew it was an important call so i waited patiently.

 As soon as he got off the phone, he turned to me and said, "Hi Alex! Your
dad told me you would be arriving today. Its nice to have you along for the
tour. I wasn't too sure of why he picked you at first, but after talking to
him, i understand fully now why he would send you. Come with me and I'll
give you a run down of what all you'll be doing and where everything is." He
gave me a brief tour of how things were run and where everything was. It was
then close to 5:30. I hadn't eaten at all today, so i wandered to the
catering area of the stadium. I saw the guys there eating. I didn't want to
intrude, so i sat at a table by myself. I don't think they really noticed me
since i was as far away from them as i could, but Justin must have been
looking for me because as soon as i sat down, he got up and came over to me.
JC was about to get up and come over too but Justin gave him this look. JC
sat back down and continued talking with the other 4. Justin walked over.

 "Can i sit here, or are you saving the seat for someone." I smiled and
looked up at him.

 "Actually the seat is saved for a cute boy who just happens to be a good
singer and did i mention was VERY cute." I saw a smile come across his face.

 "You think I'm cute?" I had to hold back my laughter. I decided i would
play with him a little.

 "No silly. I was talking about JC." I managed to keep a straight face.
Justin looked hurt that i had said that. He started to walk away. I grabbed
his arm and pulled him down into the seat beside me. "Of course i was
talking about you. And yes i find you very cute." I saw the smile come back
to his face. He was pretty cute. I smiled back at him. His expression then
changed a little but to a look full of lust. I knew what he was about to do,
and i had no intention of letting him do it. I quickly got up and started to
walk away. "I'm sorry Justin i gotta go."

 I couldn't look back at him. If i had i would have seen the sad look in his
face and the tears that were starting to form in his eyes. I could here him
starting to cry. As i made my way past the table where the other guys were
sitting, JC Joey and Chris got up and started to walk towards Justin. Lance
however started following me.He grabbed me by the arm and pulled me into a
little room.

 "Alright Alex, now you just left Justin back there crying. I don't know
what was going on, but I'm going to get to the bottom of this. Now first of
all, why on earth are you even here with us. I did some research and Jive
NEVER sends a representative on the road with a group. So what give why are
you here?" I didn't know what to say. I was shocked.

 "I don't know what to say Lance. I was just told by my dad last night that
I someone from Jive resigned from the tour and that he needed someone he
trusted to be there to take his place. I never knew that they didn't send
representatives on tour with the groups. I guess i did kinda find it odd
that they would send someone. Especially me of all people." We just stood
there for a few minutes not saying a thing to each other. "I'll get to the
bottom of this Lance. I'll call my dad later. If what you said was true,
I'll pack my bags and head out first thing in the morning."

 "NO!" Lance almost screamed at me. "You can't leave. You're obviously here
for a reason. You just can't leave. It would tear Justin to pieces if you
leave. I don't know if you've noticed this Alex, but Justin really likes
you."

 "I know he does Lance, but it's really unprofessional if i start a
relationship with one of the clients. My dad would kill me anyhow. And to be
honest I don't really see it working out. He's a great guy, but i don't like
him like that. I just met him anyhow. I haven't known him for a day, and
he's already trying to seduce me. I guess i should talk to him."

 "Yes, i think talking to him would be a good thing. Just don't be too harsh
with him. He hasn't had too much experience with relationships, and we don't
want him to be totally crushed by this."

 "Well Lance, i hate to cut it short, but you've got a concert you need to
get ready for. Now go ahead and i will talk to Justin after the concert. I
need to go to the hotel and get my stuff settled in since i have yet to be
there today." I then left the room and made my way outside i could see all
the girls outside waiting to get into the concert. There were more than i
could count. I made my way over to a limo, and got in. I told the driver
where to go to and off we were.

 When i got to the hotel, i walked to the front desk and told the lady my
name and she gave me the key to my room. I had been told that due to the
lack of rooms on that floor everyone had to sleep two in a room. I didn't
mind at all. I rode the elevator up to the floor i was staying on and found
my room. I inserted the key and walked in. I set down my stuff on the one
bed that didn't seem to be occupied already. I started digging through my
suit case to find my shaving kit. I then walked into the bathroom. I hopped
in the shower. I didn't usually take long showers, but today had been a
little stressful, so i decided to take a long one. I hopped out of the
shower and shaved. I then got dressed. I walked out of the bathroom, and
turned on the TV. I was watching for about 5 minutes when i realized i had
yet to find out who my room mate was. I didn't want to be nosey, but i just
couldn't help it. I got up and walked over to his suitcase. I hesitated at
first, but i decided i would go insane if i didn't find out who it was. It
would be hours before they came back, and i couldn't wait that long. I
looked at the luggage tag on the suitcase. I couldn't believe it. Of all
people did it really have to be him? I knew this couldn't be a good thing.
