AJ stated starting to cry again. "What am I going to do now?" "Alex, just stay in here, let me go talk to him. He just needs some time to get over this." Kevin stated giving AJ a hug and leaving the room. "I hope I can help them get over this. This could prove fatal for the group." "What's going on in here Kev, why is he crying like that?" Brian asked walking into the lounge. "Is everything okay?" "No, talk to AJ, while I go talk to Nick. I will be back in a couple of minutes." Kevin stated leaving the room. "Come on Bone, what's wrong man, it can't be all that bad." Brian stated. "Dry your eyes and tell me what's bugging you." "I can't Bri, I just can't. I fucked up and now the whole band is at stake!" AJ screamed. "Calm down, it's going to be okay. Does this have anything to do with why you and Nick aren't talking?" Brian asked. "Yeah, I told him I was sorry, but he just didn't care. I really do love him." AJ stated. * N Sync's Tour Bus * "Justin...Justin talk to me. Are you gay?" Sean asked, sitting down besides Justin. "Sean, I...I don't know. I have mixed feelings, I don't know if I am gay or not. I just know that Josh and Lance shouldn't be together." Justin stated. "Why Justin, they like each other. Why shouldn't they be together?" Sean asked. "They are not right for each other, Josh doesn't need Lance. I think he needs me." Justin stated as he placed his head in his hands and cried. "Oh Justin, I didn't realize this until now. You are in love with JC, I don't know why I didn't see it." Sean stated. "That's why you have been so mean to me, you wanted Josh all to yourself!! Did you think making me look bad and trying to make Josh think I was going to hurt him, would change how he felt about me Justin?" Lance asked. "I wasn't trying to make you look bad Lance, you did that all on your own. No one told you to act the way you did. No one told you to say the words you said." Justin stated as he got in Lance's face. "Okay guys calm down, both of you just take a rest." Sean stated, trying to calm both of them down. "We don't need any fighting in here. This could be settled without any violence." "Honey are you okay? Is everything going okay down here?" Joey asked as he approached the men arguing. "Yeah, everything's okay baby, just trying to calm these two down. Just leave us alone for a bit. I need to talk to both of these men alone." "I don't think there is nothing more to be said. I will let them be, I will just mind my own business. When all of this blows up in their faces, then I will say 'I told you so'." Justin stated as he walked away from both of them while the driver announced that they were approaching the rest stop. "Lance stay here, Justin will be back in just a moment. You two are not going to let this stay this way. If you two don't make up and soon, I will be first to let Johnny know what's going on between all three of you." Sean stated. "No, you wouldn't. Please don't tell Johnny, I don't want to get into trouble about this." Lance stated. "Well, I don't want to get into trouble either, but this is starting to effect how you guys act and I will not having it interfering with you guys performance." Sean stated as everyone walked to the head of the bus. "Come on baby, let's get off the bus and stretch and go get something to eat, I'm hungry." Joey stated, walking up behind Sean. "Sure, let's do that while Justin, JC and Lance sit here and work out their problems. Come on Chris, you are coming with us." Sean stated grabbing Chris by the arm and pulling him towards the exit of the bus. "Lance, regardless of how Justin feels, I still like you, but if it hurts Justin this badly to where it effects the group like this, then we should break up. I don't want Johnny coming down on us because of this." JC stated with tears in his eyes. "What! I don't believe this! Are you satisfied now Justin?" Lance stated as he turned to face the other direction. "Josh you would really break up with Lance because of me, because of how I feel?" Justin asked. "Yes I would. Justin you are my friend, you have always been my friend. If something is hurting you so badly where it effects us, then yes I would do that. I don't want you to be in pain because you think that Lance is going to hurt me. So to solve the problem, I won't date Lance, so he can't do anything to hurt me." JC stated as he gave Justin a hug and walked away. "Josh, Josh wait a minute, come back. You can't just walk away from Lance like this. If you like him, you are supposed to fight for him. I guess I see the error of my ways. I am sorry, if you are willing to break up with him, just to keep me happy, I guess I can give it a chance." Justin stated as Lance hopped up and started hugging him. "Oh Justin, thank you, thank you very much. I am so happy. About time you stopped being stubborn." Lance stated. "You better behave Lance and treat him right, I will be watching out for him." Justing stated hugging JC and kissing him on the cheek. * Backstreet Boys Tour Bus * "Look Kev, I am not in the mood, okay just leave me alone. I don't feel like getting into this. I said what I had to say and I am done with it." Nick stated. "You can't be serious. You really don't want nothing more to do with AJ anymore? I thought he was your friend." Kevin stated. "He was my friend, I thought he was my friend. Friends don't kiss you and tell you that they love you to make you feel better!" Nick shouted. "He didn't tell you that to make you feel better. I honestly thinks that he's in love with you Nick. He's been crying ever since you two have been on the bus this morning. "He's straight Kevin, he can't love me. I'm not going to be the pitiful guy that everyone tries to cheer up because I am gay and no one loves me." Nick stated as he fell into Kevin's arms and started crying again. "Nick, I don't think it's like that. I think he really have feelings for you. I have never seen Alex act this way. There must be something there." Kevin stated, rubbing Nick's back. "I don't know, I don't know what to think right now. I just need him to leave me alone." Nick stated. "Alright guys, we are here at the rest stop, we have an hour to go before we get to the next venue." Howie stated walking by the two men. "Thanks D, we will be out in a bit. Me and Nick need to finish talking. Let Brian and AJ know and tell them we will be out soon." Kevin stated as Howie walked past, heading towards the lounge. ========================== TO BE CONTINUED...
