Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2000 15:11:00 -0800 (PST) From: AJ Shukla Subject: Josh and Just/11 ****Hello All! I'm here with another installment of Josh and Just. And I had fun writing this one. It only took me a couple of days. It's a little lovey dovey, just a little warning to everyone. As requested I'll give a little bio about myself. My name is AJ and I'm a student who also writes. I started writing a year ago to escape everyday hassles. I have another story about Brian Littrell and Justin Timberlake that I do not post on this site. My best friends is the only one who reads it. ummm. What else do you guys want to know? My influences are JM from Brian and Justin/Just Beginning. I am not in a relationship actually never really had one. Pretty good romance writer for someone who's never had romance huh? Welp what else? If you want to ask me anything else. I'm game. Comments, questions and feedback is always welcome. Wipeout211@yahoo.com . And now on with the story. Josh and Just 11 The sun peeked through the slightly gray clouds that covered Big Bear Mountain and the Big Bear Lake region. All was quiet as it was left the night before. The snow drifted down onto the ground where it covered the earth like a fluffy white blanket. Joey laid sleeping in his bed in the same room where Chris slept peacefully in his own. Down the hall, Danielle laid in Lance's arm as the two enjoyed their slumber together. Across the hall, Britney slept motionless dreaming about her date last night. Jennie had a protective arm around Seth as the two slept through the early hours. Finally Justin and JC's room. It was empty. Both had fallen asleep in a private room of the lodge. Justin lay motionless as the pictures flashed through his mind. There he was walking down that same dark street on his way to meet the guys at the movie theatres. He barely saw the guy that placed the knife to his back. He was being led into the alley that haunted his mind. He looked out of the corner of his eye and saw the man. The face that will cause his stomach to jump every time. He fell to his knees and was staring face to face with the ground of the hidden path. Justin threw his eyes open as he panted heavily at what he saw. He was reliving that night. He looked around the room quickly and saw the cozy little room. He looked to his shoulder where JC had placed his chin, nuzzled up closely to Justin's cheek. He let out a long sigh realizing he was back to reality. `Why is this bothering you so much? Why are you doing this? You are putting everyone through hell. Especially Josh.' Justin chastised himself. He slowly pulled away from JC who was still in slumber. He got off the couch and kneeled on the floor in front of the couch as he looked toward JC's angelic face. He gazed at JC who was sleeping comfortably. He ran the palm of his hand across JC's cheek. He smiled as a tear fell down from his eye. `I Love him! I really do. But I can't keep putting him through this.' Justin thought sullenly. JC stirred before looking at Justin with a big smile. He let out a yawn before looking into Justin's eyes. "what a way to wake up in the morning. My day is already better." JC smiled as he looked at Justin lovingly. He scrutinized Justin's face closely, sensing that something was wrong. "What wrong Just?" JC asked. "How did you know something was wrong?" Justin asked. "Well I've known you for sooooo long that I can sense these things. Plus the tears building up in your eyes gives it away." JC smiled as he brushed away a falling tear with his thumb. Justin broke a smile as he sat down on the floor next to the couch. JC got up and sat down next to him. "JC. I can't keep doing this to you guys. I can't keep having you deal with me and my problems. You're a great boyfriend but I don't want to drag you along on something you shouldn't have to face." Justin said looking to the floor. "Just. Did you have another dream?" JC asked. Justin nodded slightly. JC let out a sigh before wrapping his arm around Justin's shoulder. Justin was brought close to JC's body and ended up resting his head on JC's shoulder. "Justin. I love you and I will always love you. And whenever you need help with anything I will always be here for you. You've been a great influence in my life and I'm not letting you go that easily. What ever you have to go through, I will too. We'll face it together. As Joshua and Justin." JC said hugging Justin tightly. Justin smiled to himself as another tear fell down his cheek. "Thanks Josh. I Love you too. But I don't want to have to make you go through this." Justin said looking at JC face to face. JC placed a small kiss on the tip of Justin's nose. "I want to go through it." JC grinned. Justin laughed and embraced him. Britney walked out of the bathroom with a robe around her body and a towel covering her hair. She sang softly to herself as she picked out what she was going to wear for the day. "Someone seems incredibly happy this morning." Jennie joked as she sifted through her bag. "Well I am. I had the most unbelievable date last night." Britney sighed as she fell back onto the bed. "Sounds interesting. Who with?" Jennie asked taking a seat on the bed to listen. "Freddie Prinze Jr." Britney said, breaking into a smile. Just the sound of his name upon her lips made her smile and tingle all over. "Wow. Sound romantic. Any plans for the future?" Jennie inquired. "I'm not sure. All I know is that when we are in LA next week I'll be walking down a red carpet with him to the premiere of his movie." Britney replied. "I'm happy for you Britney." Jennie smiled as she laughed as the love struck girl. "Thanks." Britney replied. A knock sounded throughout the room. Britney stood while Jennie walked into the bathroom. She opened the door to see Justin and JC. Justin grabbed JC's hand and dragged him into the room. "Well sure invite yourselves in." Britney announced, sarcastically. "We will." Justin retorted. They both took a seat on the bed while looking back at Britney. "What?" Britney asked. "You're in that `I'm in love' look. I know what it feels like. I was there like eight days ago." Justin replied. "Hey I'm not in love. Just happy that I have someone. A really gorgeous someone." Britney added. Justin broke into a smile as he continued to look up at Britney. "Okay everyone. Your bus will be in San Francisco in five or six hours. Depending on traffic." William said, checking a chart. Lance spent his last moments with Danielle as the two snuggled under the lightly falling snow. "I love you. And I will see you soon. And I'll call tonight when I get there." Lance promised. "Okay. And I'll be waiting." Danielle responded. "And don't let Carson anywhere near you." Lance said, turning serious. "You are so cute when you are jealous." Danielle laughed. "Hey Scoop! We gotta go! Hurry up." Chris yelled from the bus. "I'm coming!" Lance screamed back. "I have to go baby. But I'll see you soon." "I know." Danielle smiled. Lance leaned down and placed a small kiss to her lips. He sadly walked back to the bus where he boarded but not after one last glimpse of Danielle. The doors closed as Danielle started to walk back into the lodge. The bus started up while everyone got comfortable in the lounge. Britney sat on the couch as she gazed out the window, looking at the beautiful scenery. Justin and JC sat together, looking through there papers. Chris crashed on the floor as he aid down to take a nap. Joey sat behind him, watching the TV intently. Lance sulked in the corner, missing Danielle already. The bus started to move slowly as it started to make it's way out of the parking lot. Britney's eyes were caught by a man running toward the bus with a bouquet of flowers in his arms. Britney jumped up and started to run down the bus. "Stop!" Britney yelled. "You drive me crazy! I just can't sleep!" Justin and Joey started to sing. The bus rolled to a stop and the sound of the doors opening could be heard. Justin hopped up and walked to the window where he saw Britney wrap her arms around the man's neck. "Who is it?" JC asked, coming from behind. "Freddie. He bought her flowers and came to say goodbye." Justin replied. "What are you doing here?" Britney said happily while she looked up at Freddie. "Well I came to say goodbye and that I'll miss you." Freddie said as he transferred the flowers into her arms. Britney looked at the flowers before leaning up to kiss him. "You are so sweet." Britney smiled, hugging onto Freddie. Freddie hugged her back. "Hey Brit. Come on. We really have to go." Joey announced from the window. She sighed sadly and gave Freddie one last kiss. "I'll see you in a week?" Freddie asked. Britney nodded before giving him one last hug. Freddie walked her to the bus where she climbed up the stairs and waved as the doors closed. She walked to the nearest window and waved as the bus rolled out of the parking lot. "Bonjour Tante." JC spoke into the phone as he walked to the lounge. "Non, dans les Etats-Unis." JC spoke back into the phone. "Who is he talking to?" Britney asked. "His Aunt. She lives in France." Justin replied as he looked through his CD's. "I didn't know he spoke French." Britney exclaimed. "Yeah he can speak it but very little. Now I would truly never let him go if he had the accent, the entire language down, and one of those French hats." Justin smiled. JC stuck his tongue out before sitting on the arm of the couch. "Oui. Un moment………." JC said into the phone. He looked around. "Do any of you want anything from France?" JC asked. "I want a French woman!" Chris said raising his hand. "You know they don't shave any body hair." Joey laughed. Chris contorted his face before putting his hand down. "Can I get a hat?" Justin asked. JC nodded before placing a kiss on his forehead. "Make that two." Lance added. JC nodded again. "D'accord Tante. Deux chapeau pour mes amis. Pour moi, Je voudrais un manteau. Je vais telephoner vous avec Heather et Tyler dans un mois. D'accrod?" JC spoke. "What did he say?" Justin asked. "He said two hats for us, and a coat for him. And I think he said that he will call them when he sees Tyler and Heather in a month. I'm not sure. That's what you get for only taking two years of French in high school." Lance shrugged. "Allez Au revoir." JC said hanging up. "My baby. Can speak French." Justin said hugging onto JC. "That's really sexy." Britney stated. "Yeah well I get by. I think my aunt either asked when I was going to visit or if my father gave birth yet. I dunno they speak too fast." JC said as he plopped down on the couch. Justin let out a yawn as he laid down, resting his head in JC's lap. "Are you tired baby?" JC asked. Justin nodded before letting his eyes fall closed. Justin once again walked down that dark street and once again the man stuck the knife into his back, urging him to walk down the abandoned alley. Justin's stomach churned while his knees shook with fear. His life flashed before his eyes, not knowing if he was going to live or not. He was forced to his knees and then his face forced to the ground. The man unbuckled his pants and let them drop to his ankles. He looked up at the man who had a wicked grin on his face. Justin popped up out of his sleep to hit his head against the top of the bunk. He looked around and saw the closed curtain that kept him inside the small bunk. He rubbed his eyes as he though about what he was dreaming about. "Are you okay?" Chris asked as he poked his head into the bunk. "Yeah I just woke up and hit my head against the top of the bunk. I'm okay." Justin said rubbing the small bump that was forming. He swung his legs out into the pathway of the bus and hopped onto the ground. He let out a small yawn, making his way to the kitchen area. As he waked in he saw JC and Lance talking while they munched on a bowl of popcorn. Justin slid into the booth next to JC and placed his head in the cradle of his arms as they rested on the table. "Hey Sweety. Have a nice nap?" JC asked as he realized that Justin had woken up. "I had another nightmare." Justin said softly. "I'm so sorry baby. I should have been there. If you want me to sleep with you I will. Just ask me. I'm willing to stay while you sleep." JC apologized as well as proposed an idea. "It's not your fault JC. But maybe the next time I do go to sleep, I will take you up on that offer." Justin smiled. JC smiled and placed an arm around Justin's shoulder. He rubbed his shoulder slightly before planting it in one place and holding it there. "Hey Justin. Have you ever tried to talk to someone about your nightmares. Like one of us or maybe a professional. I read something in like TIME or some magazine that said by explaining your dream you could possibly find a reason." Lance suggested. "Well there isn't much to say. It's just replaying that night. And I would always wake up before the worst happened." Justin said saddened. "Well maybe you should try staying asleep and playing the dream out. A dream is like a story. There is always a beginning, middle and an end. Unless it's a wet dream, then it's just hot, nasty, animal sex." Lance joked. Justin smiled and held onto JC. JC placed a kiss on Justin's forehead. "Maybe I should try it." Justin thought out loud. "What? the hot animal sex? If you need a partner I'm here." JC grinned. Justin smiled and nudged JC lovingly. "No play my dream out." Justin replied. "I know. And if you want me to be there. Just tell me." JC cooed. "Hello San Francisco!!!" Joey yelled, out the bus window. The bus pulled in front of the hotel and stopped. JC gave Justin a kiss before standing up and throwing both his back pack as well as Justin's onto his shoulder. Chris and Britney followed the two as they walked behind Lance and Joey. All six of them walked out of the bus and instantly became enveloped in a aura of roaring teenagers. A small path was made for them, heading straight to the lobby doors as security guards tried to hold back the screaming teens. Justin and JC laughed as they saw all the signs that were meant to get there attention. As they waved, the sound increased. "Put you hand down! I'm going deaf." Lance yelled. "What?" Justin joked. "I'm free!" Joey yelled as he fell past the screaming fans into the serene lobby. "Wait for me!" Lance yelled, as he too ran into the silence. JC and Justin laughed as they passed the threshold. "Oww!" Britney screamed as she walked into the lobby. Justin turned to look at her and saw her rubbing her ass. "What happened?" Justin asked. "Someone pinched my ass again. What's this obsession everyone has with pinching my rear?" "Well it certainly is a lovely butt." Chris joked. "It's very proportional to the rest of your body." Joey added. "I think Sir Mix A Lot said it best when he said `Baby Got Back.' Didn't he?" Chris asked Joey. "He sure did." Joey stated. "Okay How did my ass be the topic of this conversation?!?" Britney yelled. The entire lobby became quieter. Britney looked around to see the entire hotel staff looking at her with question. She turned to JC and Justin who were trying to conceal their laughing with a goofy grin. Lance snickered quietly while looking away from Britney. Chris and Joey laughed hysterically. "I hate you guys! I hate all five of you." Britney chastised as she smacked Joey and Chris in the arm with her backpack. Chris and Joey continued to laugh uncontrollably. "Ugh!" Britney huffed as she stormed off toward the elevator. Justin and JC followed behind as he laughed secretively. Chris feel to the floor and slapped his hand against the ground as he laughed with tears in his eyes. "Chris it's not that funny." Lance stated, getting amusement out of the way Chris was laughing. "I know Chris." Joey stated, his laughing dying down. Chris continued to chuckle on the floor as Joey and Chris walked toward the elevator, leaving their friend on the floor. JC walked into his room after Justin. He was instantly grabbed by Justin's hand and pulled into a deep kiss. JC let his resistance go as he succumbed to Justin's kiss. JC let out a sigh of happiness as Justin moved his lips down to JC's neck. Justin pushed JC onto the bed and crawled on top of him. He placed a small kiss on JC's neck and moved his way to JC's lips. The two kissed for a moment until it intensified. Justin massaged JC's lush upper lip with his own lips. He let his tongue slip out and trace the perimeter making sure to get every inch. He once again kissed JC fully. He let his tongue slide into JC's mouth where JC suckled it slowly. Justin pulled back slowly and looked into JC's eyes. Justin laid down next to JC and pulled himself closely to JC's body. "Wow!" JC said as he turned to lay on his side. He looked down at Justin who was busy playing with JC's fingers. Justin kissed the hand before holding onto it tightly. "Thanks Josh." Justin said quietly, before curling up close to JC. JC smiled and wrapped an arm around him. "Thanks for what?" JC asked. "For everything. For being my best friend through the years. For always taking care of me. For never letting me be afraid. For being my boyfriend." Justin replied. "Well I only did all that because I love you." JC said. "I love you too." Justin replied. JC ran his fingers up Justin's cheek and into his hair. He toyed around with a couple curls before kissing Justin on the forehead. JC looked toward Justin's face and saw that he had fallen asleep. "What's with you and sleep. I'm supposed to be the one who sleeps the most." JC laughed to himself. He held Justin close as he rocked him slowly. Justin walked down the street. Every bit of detail shined bright as he looked around. He knew what was going to happen and yet he still felt surprised when he felt the edge of the knife poke into his back. He hesitantly followed the man's directions by walking casually into a dark alley. He gasped as a cat screeched from atop a dumpster and scurried into a corner. He heard the shuffling of newspapers as the rolled over the ground by the slight draft. `Get on your knees.' He heard the man say. Almost mechanically, he began to descend to his knees. Justin fought to stay asleep and carry the dream through. He was terrified, his worst memory that he'd tried so long to forget was about to play in his mind. His knees reached the floor and soon his upper body began to head toward the floor. His faced was suddenly pushed into the ground. JC looked up from the magazine and saw Justin tossing and turning. He looked toward Lance and Chris who were also staring at Justin. JC started to walk toward Justin, to wake him up. "JC, don't. Not yet. He can't keep living in the past. He has to go through this." Lance said holding him back. "Lance look at him. He doesn't need to go through this. What if this makes him even more afraid of life?" JC asked, keeping his eyes on his love. "If he doesn't let go of the past he'll still be scared. We don't know what might happen but it's worth giving it a try." Lance assured. Justin felt the loose gravel dig into his face as he heard the man's pants fall to his ankles. ` I have to stay strong. For me, for the guys, for Josh.' Justin reminded himself as he felt the tears automatically start to leak from his eyes. He felt the man violently pull down his pants. All of a sudden he found his shirt on the floor in shreds. He was cold, with his upper body exposed and his lower body covered by a pair of cotton boxers. He knew it. Justin knew the worst was about to come. The part where he gets violated. The part where he feels the unwelcome member inside of him. He braced himself for the worst, yet the tears continued to fall. He was scared. He was alone with a man who was going to do god knows what to him. He felt the finger tips touch the elastic band his boxers as he continued to feel the knife being pressed into the small of his back. `Hey!' A booming voice that echoed through the alley. Justin turned toward the sound as did the man about to commit the crime. A silhouette of a man could be seen through the mist coming from the sewer drains. `Let him go!' The voice boomed again. `He's mine. Get your own.' The man replied. `He's not a piece of meat. Now let go of my friend.' The booming voice said as he pushed the man to the floor. The man scurried out of the alley as the silhouetted figure made his way to Justin's side. He helped Justin to his feet. The man slid his leather jacket off and wrapped it around Justin's shoulders. `Justin, it's going to be okay. I'm here now.' the voice soothed. Justin hugged the man, recognizing the voice. He pulled closely to JC's body. To Be Continued ****Hey everyone. I'm back. Hope you liked this installment. It was a weird one. But I finally got the problem of Justin's rape out of the scene.
