The bartender stated. "Justin? Justin? Damn, he's passed out." "What's going on over there Jackson?" Another bartender called out. "Nothing, it's nothing." Jackson, the bartender spoke. "Come on Justin, wake up." "What's going on?" Justin spoke, slurring his words. "What are you doing to me?" "I am picking you up off the floor." Jackson stated. "You need to get home and sleep this off man or you are going to have one big hang over." "I don't get hangovers." Justin stated, giggling, and grabbing Jackson's thigh. "I get layovers." "Justin what are you doing?" Jackson asked, pushing Justin's hand away. "I thought I was holding on to the baby maker." Justin stated. "I am trying to help you man, under different circumstances that would be nice, but you are drunk and you don't know what you are really doing." Jackson stated. "I know what I am doing. I am trying to get you in my bed." Justin stated as he felt between Jackson's legs again. "Stop that man." Jackson stated. "Is there someone that can get you to your place?" "Either I drive myself or you can take me.." Justin stated, pulling his keys out of his pocket and dangling them in front of Jackson's face. "Come on, come back to my hotel with me." "Justin I am trying to be a friend to you. I am not going to indulge you right now, I just want to get you to your place so you won't hurt yourself." Jackson stated. "Fine. You can take me back to my place so I won't hurt myself." Justin stated. "Sit right here. I am going to tell the others that I am leaving." Jackson stated. "I will be right here with bells on." Justin stated, giving Jackson a big smile as he walked away. // Jamestown, NY -- A Private Townhouse // "Hello?" Nick spoke answering the phone. "Nick why aren't you home?" Leslie asked. "You do realize what time it is don't you?" Nick asked. "We are in the same time zone, it's not that late. Mom and dad want you here for the holidays." Leslie stated. "Well I thought you told them I wasn't coming." Nick stated. "Nicholas Gene Carter!" Leslie screamed. "Get over it." "I already told you." Nick stated. "Oh fuck you." Leslie stated. "Don't talk to me like that." Nick stated, getting offended. "I need to talk to you worse than that. If I were there I would kick your ass back here." Leslie stated. "Well you are not here, just leave me alone. I don't want to be bothered by anyone." Nick stated. "Nick get your ass to the airport right now." Leslie stated. "I called the airport there and got you a ticket to get home. Get on your flight and you should be here in the morning. Christmas is just a few days away, you don't want to be alone do you?" "Yes I would rather be alone." Nick stated. "Well tough fucking luck Nick, you are coming home." Leslie stated. "Answer the door." "What?" Nick asked, with a puzzled look. "Answer the door." Leslie stated, as there was a strange knock at the door. "What the hell is going on?" Nick asked. "Who's there?" "Nick open the door." Nick heard a familiar voice. "Kevin what are you dong here?" Nick asked, opening the door to see Kevin Richardson standing in the doorway. "I am here to escort you back home." Kevin stated. "I am home for right now, I am not going anywhere." Nick stated. "Hmmm, Leslie said you would say that. That's why I am going to drag you, whether you like it or not." Kevin stated. "No Kev, I am not going. Don't make me call the police." Nick stated. "You would actually call the police on me Nick?" Kevin asked. "Damn skippy." Nick stated, walking back over to the phone. "So Kevin is your big plan to get me back home?" "Just come home Nick." Leslie stated. "Mom and dad are really sad and upset." "Well I am sorry, but if I were there I would just bring everyone down." Nick stated as the tears started flowing from his eyes again, causing him to drop the phone on the floor. "Nick, Nick are you there?" Leslie asked, still trying to get Nick's attention. "Hello Leslie, it's me Kevin. I will take care of him, just give us a bit of time." Kevin spoke. "Please bring him home Kevin, we are all worried about him." Leslie stated as she and Kevin said their goodbyes. "Nicky everything's going to be okay." Kevin spoke, wrapping his arms around Nick. "I know he hurt you." "What?" Nick spoke through his tears. "I know everything Nick. I knew about you and Brian." Kevin stated. "How did you know?" Nick asked. "I walked into your guys room one day last year and saw you two having sex." Kevin stated, rubbing Nick's back. "I love him Kevin. I love him more than anything. How could he just leave me like that?" Nick stated, crying on Kevin's shoulder. "Because he feels that he must do the right thing." Kevin stated. "The right thing?" Nick stated, pushing away from Kevin. "So the right thing was to leave me heartbroken?" "No Nicky that's not what I mean." Kevin stated. "In his mind, on how he saw things, he thought the right thing was to be with Leighanne. He couldn' t see himself living in a gay relationship." "Well he should have said that a long time ago. He should have said that before I fell in love with him." Nick stated, falling down on the bed crying. "I know Nicky, I know. I wish there was something I could have done. I wish there was something I can do now to take your pain away." Kevin stated, walking over to the bed and sitting at the edge of the bed, smoothing Nick's hair. "Why me, why doesn't anyone love me. Why am I the one that always get the short end of the fucking stick?" Nick stated, holding onto Kevin's waist now. "I don't know Nick, I don't know." Kevin stated, pulling Nick up to him and hugging him. "I don't know why all of this has happened to you. I wish it hadn't." "What's wrong with me? Am I doomed to be lonely forever?" Nick asked. "First James, then Jacob, and Brian. Will I ever find someone to love me and not leave me?" "I don't know Nicky." Kevin stated. "Am I that ugly and fat?" Nick asked. "Nicky you are not ugly and you are definitely not fat." Kevin stated. "Then why doesn't anyone want me?" Nick asked, crying harder in Kevin's arms as he laid his head on Kevin's chest. "Well I told you that James Van Der Beek was a jerk in the first place, and well Jacob Underwood wasn't good enough for you because he was pining after Ashley Angel and Brian is just Brian, he wants to be right with God." Kevin stated. "None of them were good enough for you anyway." "Who is good enough for me?" Nick asked. "I don't know Nicky, but he will come along one day." Kevin stated. // Back in Orlando -- Justin's Hotel // "Come on man, just get in bed with me. I don't want to be alone." Justin stated. "No Justin, I am not going to do that. I drove you back here, now I am going to call a taxi and get home." Jackson stated. "Well fine, party pooper." Justin stated as he fell face first on the bed and passed out. "Good night Justin." Jackson stated as he took Justin's shoes off and put him in the bed correctly, pulling the covers over him. "I hope you have a good night kid, I don't know what caused you to drink like that, but I hope things get better for you." // The Next Morning // "What the hell happened to me?" Justin asked himself, as he sat up in bed. "Oh damn, now I remember." As Justin made his way to the bathroom, he found a note on top of the television that read: Justin, I don't know if you will remember everything that happened last night but you were really out of it so I put you to bed, wrote out this letter and walked out. I don't know what caused you to be like you were last night, but if you ever need a friend to talk to I am here for you. Jackson "Oh damn, I was a real prick to him, I hope I didn't do anything really out of the norm with him. I know I was drunk and horny, I hope I didn't do anything that he could have used again me." Justin stated to himself as the phone rang. "Yo Justin, what's up man?" The familiar voice spoke over the phone. "Nothing Josh, just getting ready to take a shower and go get breakfast." Justin spoke. "Since you are in town, why don't we hit Disney and have some fun?" JC asked. "I don't know, I don't really feel like doing anything." Justin stated. "Oh come on Curly, it'll be like old times, just me and you." JC stated. "That's the problem Josh, it could never be like old times. We are not together anymore Josh." Justin spoke. "I know Justy, I know. I am sorry." JC stated. "I wish we could change that. I miss you baby." "I am not your baby Josh. You cheated on me." Justin stated. "I love you Justin, really I do." JC stated, crying softly. "Yeah right Josh, I love you too, but love isn't supposed to hurt." Justin stated, crying as he hung up the phone. ====================================== TO BE CONTINUED...
