Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 16:19:38 From: Lucky Lucky Subject: Good Life Chapter 4 Hey Everyone This Is My First Attempt At Writing A Story, So Please Bear With Me! Thanks to Sarah and Ricky for writing and letting me know their thoughts! They are always helpful! Here I guess I have to say in no way do I know or claim that any of N'sync is gay or bisexual. If reading about this type of material is offensive to you please do not read anymore. And if you are under the age of 18 you should not be reading this. Thanks. Chapter 4 PREVIOUSLY Justin awoke feeling warmth on him. He opened his eyes and realized it was Noah's arm around him. For a couple minutes he just smiled and realized how nice that felt. Then he got nervous and jumped up. Noah woke up and stared at Justin realizing what must have happened. "Oh, Justin...I'm sorry I didn't re..." Justin interrupted, "That's ok... I gotta go inside. Come in whenever you want." Justin quickly walked off and ran inside closing the door behind him. He walked into the kitchen and saw JC. "JC, I need to talk to you now," Justin almost screamed. JC saw almost tears in Justin's eyes. He followed him to Justin's room. Noah walked inside to the room on the first floor he was going to be staying in. He picked up his cell phone and called his best friend Andrea. "Andrea, I need to talk to you now," Noah said softly. Andrea could feel tears about to come from Noah. She quickly said ok and they began to talk. Lets Continue. {JC's ROOM} "Justin, what's up man...calm down you are scaring me," JC said looking at Justin all red and fidgety. "JC we have to talk about this. I am so confused. I am not sure what I am doing or thinking or feeling and I am so scared," Justin blurted out and was out of breath. JC walked over to Justin and saw the tears forming in Justin's eyes. He grabbed Justin and just hugged him. JC had always been Justin's rock as they were growing up especially since Justin started in this business at such a young age. He knew that Justin easily got excited about the smallest things, so he figured it would be something like that. He was shocked at what he heard come out of his best friend's mouth. "JC...I think I am gay," Justin quietly mumbled. JC stepped back and looked at Justin. "What? Why? Are you sure?" The two friends went over to the bed and sat down. JC was shocked, but didn't want to press Justin anymore until Justin was ready to speak. Justin just lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. He was so tired and confused. JC let Justin fade away and never left his side while he slept. {NOAH'S ROOM} On the phone Noah began to speak with his best friend Andrea back in Ithaca. "Andrea, I think I am falling for a guy here in Orlando." "That's great Noah, so why are you about to cry. I can feel it all the way from here?" "I don't think he is gay, and actually if I tell him the truth I think he will hate me and then I would be crushed. I really like this guy and want to get to know him better. These feelings have happened so fast and I just want to slow my feelings up." "Noah, then do just that. Get to know him better. You don't have to tell him everything yet. Maybe you will realize he isn't the one for you. Find out what he is all about and then see how you feel." "You are right Andrea, of course. I better go now. Thanks.you're the best!" {JC'S ROOM} Justin began stirring as JC watched and he eventually opened his eyes and looked at JC. "Sorry JC. I didn't mean to fall asleep on you. Especially after what I just said to you." "That's ok Justin, it gave me time to think and I am fine with it. You are my best friend and I love like you were my brother. I want to support you in any way I can. But I have one question. What made you discover these feelings?" "Noah. Ever since I laid eyes on him I have been thinking about him and I feel so comfortable around him and I...well um...you know have had thoughts about him and me together and really liked the idea." "Oh. Well Justin, I mean how do you know he is gay? I mean did he tell you ever?" "No he never did. (If only Justin hadn't fallen asleep under that tree) But when we were changing he saw me naked and kind of stared at me and then I thought I could see a bulge in his pants." "I see, well you don't know for sure and you are still dealing with your feelings. Can I suggest something Justin? I think you should back off telling Noah and just get to know him better and see what happens. See if the feelings stay after you become friends and then you can deal with it." "Yeah, you're right JC, of course. Oh shit, I better go check on Noah, I totally just ran out on him." Justin got up and ran down the stairs to the basketball court but didn't see Noah anywhere. He went back inside and saw Noah just laying on his bed with his eyes closed. Justin lay next to Noah and Noah opened his eyes. "Hi Justin" "Hey Noah, sorry about earlier, I was acting weird and I will tell you about it sometime later. Is that cool, cause I just don't want to talk about it right now." "It's cool Justin. Can I ask you something?" (Oh no, what is he going to ask me. I just decided to hold back for now) "Sure thing Noah, anything." "Can we go get my bags at the studio, so I can get unto some of my own clothes, Noah asked with a smirk." Justin stood up. "Let's Go!" The two left to get into Justin's car and headed out to the studio. They decided to pick up Noah's bags and then head to lunch. Both realized they needed to just sit down and get to know each other and about the other's life. Noah talked about his family and law school and Justin talked about his family and growing up in show business and how that has affected his life, and how he rarely gets to make friends with people that are normal and fun. They had a great time. On the ride back to Justin's house the car was silent, but both had smiles on their faces. Noah began thinking and decided that Justin and he had shared so much, he had to tell Justin he was gay. He felt it important to their friendship and decided to tell Justin, even though he had earlier decided to hold back. "Hey Justin, I want to tell you something. I'm Gay." Justin slowed the car down and pulled over. He looked at Noah. "Noah, thanks for telling me. I am ok with it if that's what you are worried about. I really like you and our new friendship." (Why can't I just tell him how I feel!!! God I want to. But I can't, not now. I am not ready) Noah began thinking. (Well I guess he isn't gay, I gave him the opening to tell me he was, and he didn't bite.) "Thanks Justin. I also really like our new friendship. It's only been a day. That's kind of funny. I feel like I have known you forever." The two again feel into silence. Both in their own thoughts. Justin wishing he could tell Noah and Noah relieved Justin was ok with him being gay, but in a way sad that Justin was not gay himself. But both were happy about the new friendship. {BACK AT THE HOUSE} The doorbell rang and JC got up to get the door. It was the contractor they hired to build a back porch onto the house leading to the pool. He had a young worker with him. "Hey Mr. James, glad you could come over. Let me show you where we want it," JC said to the contractor. "OK JC, oh, this is one of my boys Trevor. He is working for me this summer. So he will be doing most of the building on your project." "Nice to meet you Trevor" "Thanks, Nice to meet you too. I love your guys music." "Thanks buddy" Trevor followed his father and JC around the back of the house. Trevor was 19 and on break from college. He was a very attractive kid. About 5'11" and a solid toned 170 pounds. He had short brown hair and dark brown eyes that seemed to glisten in the sun. Or was that the piercing in his eyebrow that glistened? JC heard the door to a car close, and knew it was Justin and Noah. The two guys saw the truck and walked around the back. As soon as Noah saw Trevor he stopped and stared, as did Justin. They saw the cutest nicest looking guy. Trevor saw them and was also staring. "Hey guys," JC said, "this is Trevor, he is going to be around a lot this summer." Well there is Chapter 4. Hope you liked it. I am just trying to slow some things down with the two main characters, and also introducing quickly Andrea (She will be involved more I think) and another character Trevor, who I am not sure what his role will be yet, but have an idea. So let me know what you think! Luckyxlucky@hotmail.com
