Justin asked, opening the door to see JC standing there staring back at him. "Please baby just give me another chance. I know I screwed up, but I'm sorry. I love you Justin." JC stated, walking into the room and getting on his knees in front of Justin. "Get the hell out of here Josh before I call security." Justin stated. "Please baby, please. Give me another chance. I promise I won't screw up again." JC stated. "Get the hell out now!!" Justin screamed as one of his bodyguard's looked down the hall at the two of them. "No Justin I am not going to leave until you tell me you are going to give me another chance." JC stated. "Then I will leave." Justin stated, walking out of the room. // 10 Minutes Later // "Why can't he just leave me alone? I don't want him back; I want someone that loves me, someone that isn't going to cheat on me with the first piece of ass that comes by. I want a guy that is going to love me for me, not for how good I can sing and dance or how much money I can make him. I want something real, something that is going to last forever." Justin stated, driving down the street, not paying attention to the rest of traffic as he collided with another vehicle. // In the Air // "Is there some way to get in there?" Kevin asked. "He's been in there since we took off. I have been knocking and there is no answer and the door is still locked. Are you sure he hasn't come out already and gone to another part of the plane?" "I am sure sir. I have been here and I haven't seen anyone come out of that bathroom." The flight attendant spoke. "Well then find a way to open this door. Something is wrong. If he hasn't come out, he's still in there." Kevin stated, getting a little bit anxious. "Hold on sir, let me find the thing to open the door with." The flight attendant spoke, opening a drawer looking for something. "Here it is." "Well hurry up open the door." Kevin spoke, "Hello, is there anyone occupying this bathroom?" The flight attendant spoke. "I am giving you time to answer before I open the door." "See no one is answering, just open the door already." Kevin spoke. "Okay." The flight attendant spoke, inserting the small key-like object into the door and turning it as the door opened. "Oh my God!" Kevin screamed, pushing the flight attendant out of the way and getting over to Nick's body lying on the floor. "Nick, Nick!" "Let me alert the Captain of this." The flight attendant spoke. "Angela we have a situation here." "What's the problem Felix?" Another flight attendant asked. "We need help in here!" Kevin stated. "He has a pulse but he isn't conscious." "That's the situation. It seems the man has slit his wrist or something and he's unconscious." Felix, the flight attendant spoke. "Oh my god! That's Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys." Angela spoke. "We don't have time for this! Is there a doctor on this plane?" Kevin asked. "We need to stop him from bleeding more and get him to a hospital." "I will go speak to the captain." Angela spoke, walking away from the men. "His heart is still beating, he's still breathing, but his pulse is really weak. We need to get him to a hospital as soon as we can." Kevin spoke. "Hello gentlemen. What seems to be the problem here?" The captain asked, walking back to the area where the commotion was. "We need to land this plane and get him to a hospital." Kevin stated, getting frantic now. "Where are we now?" "We are right not to far from Orlando Florida." The captain spoke. "Please land so we can get him to the hospital." Kevin spoke. "Felix call ahead and get an ambulance ready for us." The captain spoke. "Yes sir." Felix spoke. "What else should I do?" "Give him whatever we have here to help stop and control the bleeding." The captain spoke. "Thank you captain." Kevin spoke. "What's going on?" Nick asked, opening his eyes. "Nicky why did you do this to yourself?" Kevin asked. "I'm sorry Kev, I'm sorry." Nick stated, closing his eyes again. "I'm sorry, I should have done something before now. I'm sorry that I let Brian hurt you like this. I'm sorry for all the pain you have gone through. I am sorry for everything that has saddened you. I'm sorry that I couldn't do for you what you looked for with other people. I'm sorry I couldn't love you the way you wanted me to love you." Kevin stated as he held Nick in his arms and cried. // Orlando -- Florida Hospital -- 1 Hour Later // "Look I was told that Justin Timberlake was admitted here. Is he all right? Can I see him?" JC asked, walking up to the nurses station. "Sorry, only family is allowed in to see Mr. Timberlake at the moment." The nurse spoke. "At the moment, I am the only family he has here. He's mother is on her way here now. Is he hurt badly?" JC asked as Johnny, Christina and some other people walked up behind him. "What are you doing here?" Christina asked. "I am here to see if he's okay." JC stated. "Josh just leave. You shouldn't be here." Christina stated. "No I will not leave." JC stated, turning and walking away from Christina. "You hurt him Josh, I am quite sure he doesn't want to see you." Christina stated. "I must see him. I have to see him, make sure he's okay." JC stated, crying now. "I think it's my fault that he's here now." "What are you talking about Josh?" Christina asked. "I went to his hotel to see him earlier and when I wouldn't leave he left and then I got the call that he was in this accident." JC stated. "Why couldn't you just leave him alone Josh? You hurt him, hurt him very badly when you broke his heart." Christina stated. "I know I hurt him, but I am trying to make things right. I still love him." JC stated. "If you loved him Josh, you wouldn't have cheated on him with Dan Miller." Christina stated. "How do you know about Dan?" JC asked. "Justin told me about it all." Christina stated, looking at JC with disgust on her face. "How did he know?" JC asked. "Apparently he caught you two in bed a few months ago." Christina stated. "Oh my god." JC stated, crying more now. "That's how he knew. He saw us." "That's right he saw you two, with his own eyes in your bed." Christina stated, taking a sip of her drink. "You don't deserver Justin's love." "I love Justin, I love him with all of my heart. I know I screwed up, I just wish he would give me another chance." JC stated. "No he shouldn't give you another chance." Christina stated as she hauled off and smacked JC, leaving her hand print on the side of his face. "You stay away from Justin or I will kick your ass myself." "You two calm down." Johnny stated, walking over to JC and Christina. "Oh I am calm." Christina stated. "Remember what I said. Stay away from Justin or I will kick your ass personally." "I am not going to stay away form him. I love him." JC stated. "Try me Josh and you will regret it." Christina stated, grabbing her purse and walking away. "You have gone and pissed her off Josh. You seem to be doing that a lot lately." Johnny stated. "What got her so pissed with you?" "She's mad about the outcome of me and Justin." JC stated. "Oh that." Johnny stated. "Yes that." JC stated. "She wants me to stay away from him, but I still love him. I just can't stay away from him." "Well in order for us to maintain order, you will refrain from seeing Justin. As of this morning before Justin left the hotel, he requested that a restraining order be granted for you to stay away from him, you must stay away Josh or you will be put in jail." Johnny stated. "What!" JC screamed. "I will be put in jail?" "If you don't leave now you will be put in jail." Johnny stated. "Just leave Josh and give him some time. Maybe he will come around and want to talk to you again, but right now he doesn't want to see or hear you, so that means you can't see or call him." "Oh don't fucking believe this!" JC stated, getting up from his chair and stomping out of the hospital. "I am getting to old for this stuff." Johnny stated out loud as his cell phone rang. "Hello?" "Johnny its Kevin." Kevin spoke. "Nick has been taken to the hospital. The plan is off." "Say what? What has happened to him?" Johnny asked, motioning for his assistant. "Let's just say his depression has finally reached the ultimate level." Kevin stated, sniffling. "On our way back to Tampa, he slit his wrists in the bathroom." "Oh my god. How is he now?" Johnny asked. "We didn't make it to Tampa, we are in Orlando at the Florida Hospital." Kevin stated. "Where are you? I am in the Florida Hospital now." Johnny stated. "We are just now getting into the Emergency Room." Kevin stated. "He's still alive, but he keeps loosing consciousness." "Okay." Johnny stated, walking out of ICU Ward where Justin was to go to the Emergency Room to meet Kevin. // Tampa, FL -- The Carter House // "Oh god mom, it's Nick." Aaron stated, talking on the phone with Johnny's assistant. "He's in the hospital in Orlando." "What?" Jane asked, running to the phone. "Hello, what's wrong with Nick?" "Mrs. Carter it seems that while he and Kevin were flying there, Nick had terrible accident on the plane." Paula, Johnny's assistant stated. "Oh my god. What kind of accident?" Jane asked. "Mrs. Carter maybe you should talk to Kevin about that." Paula stated. "Why do I need to talk to Kevin, why can't you tell me?" Jane asked. "Mrs. Carter I think that is a matter for Kevin to talk to you about." Paula stated again. "I'm sorry Mrs. Carter but that's all I am allowed to talk about." "Well let Nick and Kevin know I am on my way there." Jane stated, hanging up the phone. "Aaron get your sister, we are going to Orlando." "Is he okay mom?" Leslie asked walking into the room. "No and from what the woman stated to me it must be horrible since she wouldn't tell me what happened." Jane stated. "Pack a bag, we are leaving as soon as possible." // In The Air // "Look Randall, I don't give a damn about your job. Your son has been in a car accident. I am quite sure he would like to see his father too." Lynn Harless spoke into her cell phone. "Don't you care enough about him to be there for him now?" "I love him Lynn. Don't try to act like I have been an absent father because I haven't been. I have been there for him all through his life and you know it." Randall stated. "Well if you love him continue to be there and stop making excuses about your damn job." Lynn stated. "Just be there for him. You know he is having a hard time dealing with things since he and Josh broke up and now this. He needs a lot of support right now." "I know Lynn, I know. But I just can't drop everything and run to Orlando right now." Randall spoke. "Randall Timberlake, if I don't see you in Orlando when I get there, you will hate me. You know how bad I can get." Lynn stated. "I will see what I can do Lynn." Randall stated. "I will talk to you later." "Bye Randall." Lynn stated, hanging up her phone. // Los Angeles, CA -- Freelance // "Say that again?" Lance Bass-Mathers asked into his phone. "Lance, Justin was in a car accident in Orlando." Christina stated, talking to Lance. "Oh my god. Is he okay?" Lance asked. "I don't know. I haven't been able to see him yet." Christina stated. "All I know is that no one is allowed to see him until he's awake and so far he's been out of surgery for a few hours now." "Surgery?" Lance asked. "Oh my god, this all sounds terrible." "Well the last time I asked a nurse could I see him, she stated that he was just out of surgery, so I don't know what happened, but I know they had to fix something." Christina stated. "I am going to get on the next flight and hopefully I will be there when he wakes up." Lance stated. "I hope that is soon." Christina stated. "That boy is worrying me." "Chrissy has Josh been around?" Lance asked. "Yes he was here, I made him leave. He told me some crap that he thinks that he is responsible for the accident that Justin had. I hope that isn't the case, if it is, Josh has had it." Christina stated. "Oh great. He really needs to be beaten with a brick. I told him to stay away from Justin." Lance stated. "Yeah, I told him too." Christina stated. "He claims he still loves him." "If he loved Justin he would have never slept with Kevin Richardson." Lance stated. "What? He slept with Kevin Richardson of the Backstreet Boys?" Christina asked, fuming now. "Yeah. I caught them during the last leg of the tour secretly meeting up with each other to have sex." Lance stated. "I don't believe this." Christina stated. "Of all the people, I thought Kevin was straight." "He's gayer than me and Justin put together." Lance stated. "Oh. By the way how is Marshall doing?" Christina asked. "He's doing okay. He's off in the studio dong his thing with the guys of D-12 right now." Lance stated. "So I am all alone for the next few weeks." "Well if you come here you won't be alone, you got me and the others." Christina stated. "It will be like old times. I have talked to Joey, he and Kelly are coming out as soon as they can and Chris and whoever it is that he's dating now. I tell you that little elf goes through girls like I write checks." "Oh well, that is true. I guess it will all be fun as long as Josh doesn't show up to cause problems." Lance stated. "Well the doctor and Johnny are talking, call me when you have your flight info so I can have someone meet you at the airport." Christina stated. "Okay babe. See you when I get there." "Alright, later Scoop." Christina stated, hanging up here phone. "This is all so terrible." Lance stated. "Diana I need you to book the next flight to Orlando for me please, I am leaving immediately." "Okay James, is there anything else you need me to do?" Diana asked. "No, I am going to make one call then I am heading home to pack, then it's off to the airport." Lance stated, picking up the phone and dialing some numbers. "Hi baby, what are you up to?" "Hey James baby, what's going?" Marshall asked, taking his headset off. "I am heading out to Orlando for a while." Lance stated. "What's wrong baby, you sound like something is wrong." Marshall stated. "Justin was in a car accident, so I am going out there to make sure things are okay and be there for support." Lance stated. "That's my baby, always thinking about other people." Marshall stated. "Now I know why I love you so much." "Oh you say the sweetest things." Lance stated. "Of course I do Mr. Mathers, you are my husband and I will always say nothing but sweet things to you." Marshall spoke. "Is Dre around?" Lance asked. "No, not right now, he's up in the other studio working with the boys, I am down here with the studio techs trying to figure out some tracks." Marshall spoke. "Well tell him I said Hello and that I will see him when I get back." Lance stated. "Alright baby." Marshall stated. "If you need me to come out there, call me back and let me know. You know I would go with you if you want me to." "I will be okay. I don't want to take you from your work baby." Lance stated. "No way babe, these guys can do this stuff without me. I have laid down my tracks; I was helping the guys with their stuff. I can go with you if you want me to baby." Marshall spoke. "That's totally up to you Em." Lance stated. "Well in that case. When are you leaving?" Marshall asked. "As soon as I can, I am booked on the next flight out. I am heading home to pack and then it's to the airport." Lance spoke. "Well baby pack enough for me too and I will meet you at the airport baby." Marshall stated. "Okay baby, I will see you there." Lance stated, making kissing noises into the phone. "I love you baby." "I love you baby. See you then." Marshall stated, as he hung up the phone. // Back at the Hospital -- Nick's Room // "Oh Nicky you are awake." Kevin stated, sitting in the chair next to Nick's bed. "Where am I?" Nick asked. "We are at the Florida Hospital in Orlando." Kevin stated. "I'm alive, why! Why am I alive?" Nick asked, as the tears streamed down his face. "Why didn't you let me die Kevin?" "I am not going to let you die, I would never let that happen." Kevin spoke. "You should have, there's nothing here for me to live for." Nick stated, still crying. "You are only delaying the inevitable." "Please Nicky, you have scared me enough, don't do this again. I couldn't bear to see you like this." Kevin spoke. "Then leave." Nick stated. "I am not going to leave you like this Nicky." Kevin stated. "Go ahead, I won't mind. It's not like everyone else hasn't left me." Nick stated. "You won't be any different." "What do you mean by that Nicky?" Kevin asked, grabbing Nick's hand and holding it in his own. "Just go Kevin, stop fooling yourself. You are only here out of pity." Nick stated. "Or is it because Les asked you to come get me, pick one but I don't care." "Nicky stop this." Kevin stated. "No. I will not stop. Just go Kevin, leave me alone." Nick stated. "I don't need or want your pity." "I don't pity you Nicky, I just wish there was something I could do to help with your pain." Kevin stated. "When I needed help with my pain you turned me away. It's too late now." Nick stated. "It's not too late Nick, it will never be too late." Kevin stated. "It's too late for us." Nick stated. "What? What are you talking about Nicky?" Kevin asked, moving closer to Nick on the bed now. "You know what I am talking about. Remember when I said I loved you?" Nick asked. "Yeah, I love you too Nicky." Kevin stated. "No Kevin, I really loved you." Nick stated as he turned away from Kevin, crying more now. "Just go away Kevin, go back to those other men that you gave your love too." "Ni..." Kevin was about to speak. "Just get out and never come back Kevin!" Nick screamed, scaring Kevin. "I will leave for now, but I will be back." Kevin stated, as he leaned down and hugged Nick. "I still love you regardless of what you say." "Go!" Nick screamed again, pushing Kevin away from him. // Justin's ICU Room // "No, no, leave me alone. I told you to just stop. I don't want to see you anymore." Justin spoke softly. "Justin honey wake up." Christina stated, touching Justin lightly on his forehead. "You are having a bad dream." "Where am I?" Justin asked, trying to sit up in his bed. "Owww." "Don't try to get up Justin." Christina stated, sitting back down in the chair next to the bed. "Chrissy?" Justin asked. "Where am I?" "Honey you are in the hospital." Christina stated. "Do you remember what happened?" "No, no I don't. What happened to me Chrissy?" Justin asked. "You were in a car accident Justin." Christina stated, smoothing Justin's hair back. "Oh god, so that did happen to me." Justin stated, crying now. "All because I wasn't paying attention, I was too busy trying to get away from Josh that I was in a car accident." "I'm sorry honey." Christina stated, holding Justin's hand. "Don't worry about Josh, he knows to stay away from you. If he doesn't I will kick his ass." "Just leave him alone, I had Johnny get a restraining order against him." Justin stated. "Just make sure he doesn't come here, I don't want to see him ever again." "I will do my best to keep him away from you honey." Christina stated as Justin closed his eyes again. ====================================== TO BE CONTINUED...
