I do not know nsync and I do not claim to know their sexuality. This story does not imply that anyof Nsync's members are Gay. Note: [Thoughts go here] .............................. Lance just laid there and cried. He was so vulnerable now, all he could do was cry. His heart was racing, his head was pounding, and he didn't know which way to turn. The phone rang and startled Lance. He desperately tried to stop the tears before he answered but there was no use. "Hello," he sobbed. "Lance, what's wrong? Are you Okay," a concerned voice replied. "Nothing, I'm fine, really," Lance lied. "You don't sound so fine, I'll be right over." His friend answered but before Lance could reply he heard the phone click. All he could do was wander who was about to knock on his door, any second now. Quickly, he gathered his gifts and hid them safely under his bed. Then came the knock. Lance wiped his face. He went to the door and slowly turned the lock. Gradually he opened the door and looked into the hallway. It was JC. He was just standing there with a concerned, caring, but innocent look on his face. "Can I come in," he asked softly. "I guess," Lance whispered. "What's wrong? Is there a problem? Did something happen," JC questioned. Lance thought how strange it was to have an answer two all of those questions. [Lets see what's wong. Someone is in love with me that is; A) A guy, B) One of my best friends, C) Possibly the person I am talking to right this moment. Or could it be, D) All of the above? Yes that's it, "D"! The answer is definitely "D"! OH YEAH... getting back to the question. Is there a problem? YES there is a problem one of my best friends is in love with me, not to repeat myself, but is also a GUY! This, of course, brings up the GAY FACTOR!!!!! Back to the question.....] "Did something happen?" Yes, something happened, something BIG!! .................. If you only knew Chapter 4 By Jessica "Lance, Lance..... LANCE!!! Are you going to tell me what's wrong or not? I'm just trying to help, isn't there anything I can do?" JC comforted. "Oh.... oh, I'm sorry JC, I'm just really upset over a lot o things." Lance managed to say. "Do you wanna talk about it? Maybe I can help." "No thanks. JC. I think I'll be able to work it out... you haven't seen Chris have you?" "What?! You'd rather talk to Chris than me about this problem? This has got to be weird if you ask him or help. Are you sure your okay?" JC questioned. Lance started to cry, unsure of how to stop. "Hey, hey, now. Lance, please don't cry. I didn't mean anything by it." He added as he put his arms around Lance. "Everything is going to be Fine. I was just kidding." "I know... I'm just really confused." "Lance, please, I'm one of your best friends, let me help." "I can't tell you, I just can't." Lance continued to cry. JC hugged Lance then lifted his chin until their eyes met. "Listen to me.... I'll stay with you, here, as long as you need me. Even if you can't tell me, I'll still be here.... understand?" Lance just nodded as he stared at JC with his sea-green eyes that could only be matched by the brilliant blue ones that JC returned the gaze with. "I understand," Lance whispered as he regained his composure, "Thanks for everything, JC. Your a great friend." Their eyes parted but before the touching moment could end, JC gave Lance a tender kiss on the forehead. Lance was shocked by this because he was unsure of what JC had meant by it. "So are you, Lance. Now, I want you to feel better, Okay? I gotta meet Justin downstairs for lunch in 15 minuets.If you need anything just call and I'll be back in no time, Okay? Or you could just come with us if you want." JC explained. Still getting over the shock of JC's lips touching his forehead, lance just shook his head as he said, "No thanks.... I'll be okay here and sort things out." "That's cool. I understand. I'll be back over, anyway.... You don't care if I come back and check on you do you?" "Um.... um.. no, I won't mind." Lance managed to finally say. "Okay, I'll see you later than." He replied as he gave Lance a parting hug, full of comfort, before he left. "Thanks again.. for everything." Lance said in an awkward moment as JC left the room. Lance just stood there and gazed into the air. [What the hell had just happened?] Lance asked himself. [I know JC cared.... but he kissed me. Okay so it was on the forehead, but still!!! I think I'm going crazy!] Lance grabbed his coat. He had to talk to someone about this. .............................................. After half an hour of searching everywhere in the streets of the anonymous town they were in, Lance finally tracked Chris down. He was down the street at a local arcade, trying to have some fun in their off time. "Chris?" Lance called in a rushed voice. "Yeah?" Chris answered, "I'm busy. I only need to kill 3 more alien ships and I get the High score so this had better be good." "Chris, I know this is strange of me to say this, but I need your help." "Ha! Only 2 left and I win." He yelled as he blew up another space ship. "Chris, this is really important and it cant wait." "Die! Die you alien assholes! DIE!" Chris please! This is important. "Lance pleaded. "Can't pause it or something?" --BOOM!!!-- "YES! Only one more! One more and I'm the Grand high Commander!" Chris gloated. "Chris.... I think JC is in love with me.' "WHAT!?" Chris quickly turned to Lance. "You think JC is what with you?" --YOU LOSE-- flashed across the screen as Chris dropped his joystick. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN?!?!" "Just what I sad. I think JC is in love with me."
