Celia asked, talking with a crying Wade in her hotel room. "Yes I am sure. It happened the other night." Wade stated, still crying. "I thought he had some kind of feelings for me, but after that, I can't be around him or his friends anymore." "What are you saying Wade?" Celia asked. "I am quitting and going back home." Wade stated. "Wade you can't quit. This is the middle of a tour. You are under contract." Celia stated. "Is that all you care about, a fucking contract? I was raped! I can't stay around here, I must go home!" Wade shouted as he screamed again. "Wade I understand how you feel, I understand very much, but I don't think we can get a replacement for you this late in the tour." Celia stated. "It would cost us a whole lot of time and money to find someone that can orient themselves with the guys current dance routines." "I don't care. I can't stay here. I can't be around Lance or his friends." Wade stated. "What did the others do?" Celia asked. "Nothing." Wade stated. "I told Josh about what happened last night and he just laughed at me and told me that I was lying. If he didn't believe me, the others will not either." "Wade just stay and let me deal with Lance and the others." Celia stated. "You can still do your job and not be around Lance." "I don't want to be around him or anywhere near him." Wade stated. "I loved him, I loved him very much and he used my feelings against me to get what he wanted." "How so Wade?" Celia asked. "Have you and Lance had a physical relationship before?" "Define physical." Wade stated. "Have you and Lance had sex before he raped you?" Celia asked. "Yes." Wade stated. "This is not good." Celia stated. "Why isn't that good?" Wade stated. "I bet his defense would be that the two of you have had sex before and you wanted it." Celia stated. "You don't believe me either?" Wade stated, starting to cry again. "I didn't say that Wade." Celia stated. "I know for a fact that you two have been together in the same space. I have observed you going to his room every time we checked into a hotel. So I know the two of you had sex, but what concerns me is what is Lance going to say if this goes legal." "I don't care. It doesn't have to go legal, I just want to leave." Wade stated. "Wade you can't leave. If you leave, Jive is going to hold you to your contract. If you don't make good on it, the big wigs will take you to court and make it legal and then they will want to know why you left and if your reason isn't good enough, they can possibly make you pay for any expenses incurred during your time on this tour, the new choreographer and his/her training and whatever else expenses they can get the judge to make you pay." "Damn! I am stuck here!" Wade screamed. "How am I supposed to work with this guy on almost a daily basis?" "We will think of something. But first, I am going to call a meeting, so that all of this will be addressed. You, Lance, Benjamin and me will have a conference call with Johnny today and discuss everything in detail." Celia stated. "I don't want to do that." Wade stated. "Well it's either that, or you can keep this to yourself and he might do it again." Celia stated. "If we don't address this now, it might get more out of hand." "It won't get out of hand." Wade stated. "Okay, this is what we will do. I will call a private meeting and we will leave Johnny out of the loop for now. After we talk with Lance, then if he is defensive about this, then I will tell Johnny what's going on and let Johnny deal with Lance." Celia stated. "Is that okay?" "I guess." Wade stated. "Okay, well you go back to your room or wherever and I will get with Benjamin so we can discuss this and get a strategy going." Celia stated. "Do you want me to walk you back to your room?" "I think I can make it back there." Wade stated, giving Celia a hug. "Thank you." "Welcome kid." Celia stated. // Nick and Joey's Room // "Morning babe. How did you sleep?" Nick asked as Joey rolled over in bed. "It was okay compared to other nights." Joey stated. "You are not still mad are you?" Nick asked. "Well after Aaron apologized, your mother getting on his case for saying that to me and then you and I having make up sex, no I am not mad anymore, but if you want me to be I can be." Joey stated. "No babe, we don't want you mad. I like you when you are happy." Nick stated. "Oh so you didn't like me yesterday?" Joey asked. "I liked you, I just didn't like the way things were happening." Nick stated. "I was upset that you wouldn't let me in the bathroom last night. Regardless of what someone says, I love you and I don't think anyone on the planet can change that." "Oh Nick, I love you too." Joey stated as he leaned over and kissed Nick passionately on the lips. "I am sorry that I was stubborn last night, but I just couldn't believe Aaron would say something so mean to me like that." "I actually love you Joey, you are not just someone to help me get my rocks, I can find any guy for that. I love you and only you Joey. I hope you feel the same way about me?" Nick stated as tears rolled down the sides of his face. "I do love you Nick. I love you so much that I hope we are together forever. I hope that someday you will want to make it official and marry me." Joey stated, with tears in his eyes too. "That's why it hurt me so much to hear Aaron say that. I thought that's how you saw me, just some guy to get you off. My dream of love was almost shattered." "Mine was too. I thought I had lost you last night." Nick stated. "Please baby, from now on, don't close me out like that. Don't let Aaron or anyone else change your mind about what we have together." "Damn and we haven't met my parents yet." Joey laughed. "Oh god, I hope this doesn't happen again." Nick stated. "Well I don't think Steve will tell you anything bad." Joey stated, wrapping his arms around Nick's waist. "And I am quite sure my mother isn't going to slap me since she has a gay cousin already. She accepts him, I am quite sure she will accept me and you." "I guess time will tell." Nick stated, as there was a knock at the door. "Who is that this early in the morning, it's not even 7 yet." "Well let me go to the bathroom, you get the door." Joey stated. "Don't go locking yourself in the bathroom again." Nick laughed, walking towards the door. "Good morning Nick. Remember we are supposed to be having breakfast together today." David stated as he and Aaron stood in the doorway. "Good morning David, Aaron." Nick stated. "Did you two have a good nights sleep?" "No we didn't. Someone wouldn't sleep in bed." David spoke. "Someone kept pacing the room most of the night when they left here last night." "Why you pacing Aaron?" Nick asked as he stepped back and let the two men into the room. "I thought we worked everything out last night?" "I think mom is still upset. She didn't say it, but I feel she still has something against the two of us." Aaron stated. "I don't think she does. After the talk last night, I am convinced that she wants to try to accept us and the ones we chose to love." Nick stated. "I don't know Nick, I just don't know." Aaron stated. "I feel there's something we are missing." ====================================== TO BE CONTINUED...
