Anyways. I hope you guys like this and hope you guys are amped for the
wedding that is about to come up!! Well I guess I'll stop talking now.
Enjoy!

When we last Left Josh and Just:
	"How can I not look at them. You were wearing a little skirt that
went half way up your ass." JC said in anger.  Stacey began to let her hand
roam over his upper torso.
	"Stacey stop it!" JC replied trying to resist more, yet trying to
be polite.
	"I want you JC." Stacey whispered seductively. She let her hand
travel down to his towel and slowly pull it off.
	"And I know you want me too." Stacey said before grabbing his
penis.
	"Josh! I'm home! Did you miss m. . ." Justin stopped when he saw JC
sitting on the edge of the bed while Stacey cupped his manhood, both
completely in the buff. He stared at JC who stared back at him
mortified. Stacey stood up a little bit and let JC move away from her.
	"Justin, it's not what it looks like." JC said quickly. Justin eyes
became glazed with tears as he looked at JC's nude form and then at
Stacey's and finally back to JC's. Justin began to shake his head still in
astonishment. JC grabbed his towel and wrapped it around his waist and
started to move toward Justin.  Justin stepped back, away from him, not
wanting to be around him.
	"Justin please?" JC begged as he walked forward.
	"No." Justin said before he turned around and started to head out
of the hall. He ran down the stairs and toward the front door. Lance
watched Justin run out of the house in a mixture of anger an sadness.
	"Justin What's wro. . ." Lance stopped when he saw JC ran after him
in his towel.
	"What the hell is going on here?" Lance said as he followed them
outside.
	"Justin wait." JC begged. Justin looked up from the car door which
he was trying to open with his key. He stared at JC in disbelief.
	"You know I trusted you way too much. I told everyone that you
would not do anything with her because you loved me so much, but I guess I
was wrong!!" Justin shot back in anger while small tears stung his eyes.
	"Justin I didn't do anything. I thought it was you and then when I
turned arou. . ."
	"Save it! I don't want to here it. I never want to see you again."
Justin yelled. With that said he quickly pulled off the engagement ring
that JC had given him and threw it directly at JC. It hit JC in the chest
and was about to fall to the ground, when JC caught it in his hands. He
watched as Justin's car pulled out of the driveway and sped down the street
until it disappeared.


Josh and Just 40


	JC slammed the door shut and made his way to the living room. Lance
looked at him questioningly. He had jut witnessed something he never
thought would happen, Justin and JC had broken up. JC fell onto the couch
in frustration. He had just finished throwing Stacey out of the house with
the harshest words he has ever spoken to her. He stared at the ring in his
fingertips and started to tear.
	"Josh tell me you didn't do anything with her." Lance requested as
he stood up to move near JC.  JC stayed silent as he continued to
scrutinize the ring through tear filled eyes.
	"Dammit Josh!!! Tell me you didn't sleep with her?" Lance yelled as
he slammed his fist onto the coffee table.
	"What the hell does it matter?!? Justin isn't going to listen to
me!!" JC said as the tear flowed down his face quicker.
	"Josh you don't know how many people look to you and Josh to model
their relationship on! You two are meant to be together and if you aren't,
then this earth is surely going to hell. I trust you Josh but in order to
trust you, you have to ell me what happened. Now. . . tell you didn't sleep
with her." Lance said lowering his voice to a calm state.
	"I didn't sleep with her. I swear on my life." JC replied as he
began to wallow in his sadness.  Lance instantly sat next to him and
wrapped an arm around his shoulder. JC turned and began to sob into his
shoulder. This was one of those rare moments when Joshua Scott Chasez would
cry. He had just lost the love of his life. And now he had to try
everything to get him back.


	"How is he?" Christina asked as she rushed through the door of
Joey's house. She looked around the foyer wondering where he could be.
	"He's asleep. He was so stressed out that he finally just fell
asleep." Britney said as she walked down the stairs. Answering Christina's
question. Britney held a glass half full of water and a plate with food
still piled on it.
	"He's still not eating?" Joey asked.
	"He had some water but he refuses to eat. This shook him up bad. I
wonder what JC did to him."  Britney replied worriedly.
	"Wait! How do you know JC did anything? Don't blame this on JC."
Christina defended.
	"Justin wouldn't get this upset just for any reason. It has to do
with JC." Britney replied.
	"Why do I have a feeling that Stacey is behind this?" Christina
asked out loud.
	"I'm going to go call Lance and see where he is." Britney said
before exiting the room. Joey and Christina walked into the kitchen behind
her and pondered to themselves. Britney called Lance's cell and began
speaking with him.
	"Hey Lance, Hun, where are you?" Britney asked.
	"Hey Brit. I'm with JC right now. He's feeling a little bad. Justin
just called off the engagement.  Actually he said he never wanted to see JC
again." Lance said in a hushed tone.
	"Wait the engagement is off?!?!" Britney said in shock. She looked
toward Christina and Joey who stared at her in disbelief.
	"Shhhhh! JC's sleeping." Lance said through the phone
	"Why?!" Britney asked.
	"Well Justin walked into the house when Stacey and JC were
naked. JC was in the shower and felt someone wrap their arms around him. He
thought it was Justin, but when found out it was Stacey. So he tried to get
away but she insisted and then Justin caught them." Lance summarized
softly. Britney heard a quick shuffle on the line and heard someone else
take the phone.
	"Hello? Brit? Is Justin there? Can I speak with him???" JC asked in
a pitiful tone. Britney's heart sunk, feeling his pain.
	"Josh sweety, He's asleep now but don't worry I totally trust you,
and I'll try my best to get Justin to talk to you.
	"Thanks Brit." JC said softly. She heard another shuffle and then
Lance was on the phone.
	"Hey Brit, I'll talk to you later, when I come over okay." Lance
said.
	"Okay, love you." Britney said.
	"Love you." Lance said before hanging up.


	"You have got to be kidding!! You guys this isn't a funny joke."
Chris yelled as Joey finished talking. He looked around and saw only
serious faces. He saw Christina sitting on the couch with her arms folded
over her chest while her feet rested on the edge of the table. Her face was
somber and sad. Britney's was the same. Chris turned toward Joey who only
looked toward the floor in sadness.
	"I can't believe JC would do that!!!" Chris yelled.
	"Chris keep your voice down. Justin is still sleeping." Christina
said in a hushed voice.
	"And what do you mean JC? It's all Stacey's fault." Joey retorted.
	"JC is just as much to blame as Stacey is. It takes two to tango."
Chris yelled back.
	"Yeah but they didn't tango. Stacey wanted to but JC didn't."
Christina replied.
	"You guys I have all the trust in JC that what he says is true but
do you think he's not to blame.  You guys have seen the way he is with
Stacey. He knows that she has the hots for him and yet he doesn't dismiss
her. He continues to invite her places and talk with her. Even when he
knows Justin hates her. He may not have slept with her, but to put up with
her until she got him in the bedroom is just enough." Chris ranted.
	"You have to look at it through JC's eyes. JC has never been mean
to anyone. He may try but he never succeeds. You know how he gets when he's
put in tough positions. He becomes all nervous. You can't blame him." Joey
replied.
	"Then who do we blame?!" Chris said in frustration.
	"Stacey!!!" Britney and Christina yelled. The four sat in the
living room in frustration, slowly dwindling to silence when they heard a
creak. They turned and look toward the stairs and saw Justin watching
them. They all sat up as Justin walked into the living room and looked at
all of them.
	"Justin. How are you feeling?" Britney asked.
	"You guys are all defending him. You think I'm just overreacting
huh???" Justin said defensively.
	"No. . . Justin. We just think that you should hear JC out."
Christina said softly.
	"Just listen to what he ahs to say." Joey added.
	"As much as I want to blame JC, you should still hear him out
Curly." Chris agreed.
	"I knew you guys would take his side. I should have never came
here." Justin said before he rushed out of the house. The four of them
jumped up and chased after him., but it was to late. He had already gotten
in his car and started to drive down the street. They looked at one another
and let out a sigh.


	The house was quiet as the group walked in. Lance had gone to pick
some of the people up leaving JC time to think by himself. Lance walked
into the house with a sorrowful look on his face as he was followed by
Britney, Christina, Joey, and Chris. They were met by Ozzie who shuffled
around them in curiosity. He followed the group as they slowly made their
way into the living room. They saw the dim light that was cast from the
fire place around the room. The crackling sound was the only thing they
could hear in the room. As they made their way around the couch they saw JC
who had fallen asleep on the couch facing the fireplace. JC laid on the
couch with his arm draped over Leo who laid next to him. in JC's hand was a
framed picture of Justin He pressed that against Leo gently, as he
continued to snooze. Britney began to tear when she saw JC's saddened look
while he slept. His mouth was neither happy nor straight.  But the corners
tilted down a little. Britney turned and buried her face in Lance's
shoulder, who had made his way behind her. He wrapped both arms around her
and hugged her tightly.
	 "He looks so sad. Poor thing." Christina said as she took a seat
next to the couch on the floor. She gently moved the strands of JC's hair
out of his face and ran her hand over his head. She gently lifted his arm,
allowing Leo to jump off the couch and sit curiously, close by.
	"You guys we have to think of a way to get them back together. I
trust JC and know he didn't do it. He seriously thought it was Stacey. But
first we have to find Justin." Lance sighed.
	"You guys it's been like eight hours since Justin left. He could be
anywhere by now and I know that if he doesn't want to be found, he won't."
Chris added.
	"Well he won't go through this alone, cause you know he doesn't
like being alone, so he has to go to family or friends. I called Tennessee
and he isn't there, I called Paul and he isn't there." Joey said as he took
a seat on the other couch.
	"Well who else does he have. Would he go to JC's family?" Christina
asked.
	"I'll call them right now." Lance said as he waked with Britney to
the kitchen.
	"Wait Lance!! Call Tyler too. Ask his mom for his college number
and call him." Joey added.
	"And call Heather as well." Christina continued. Lance nodded and
walked off. The shrill sound of the phone ringing rang through the
house. Lance brought the cordless into the room quickly. He glanced at the
caller ID hopefully, wanting to see Justin's cell phone.
	"Do you guys know someone named Paul?" Lance asked as he glanced at
the small screen.
	"No but answer it. you might wake up JC." Britney said.
	"Hello?" Lance asked.
	"Hello? Is this Josh?" Someone asked.
	"No this is Lance. Who's this?" Lance asked.
	"Oh, my name is Danny. I worked with Justin on the movie set. I
just wanted to call someone down there and make sure you guys knew that
Justin is okay." Danny responded.
	"He's okay? Thank god! Where is he?" Lance asked.
	"He's here in Atlanta with me and my boyfriend. He told me the
story and I felt that you guys would be worrying, especially JC." Danny
replied.
	"Thank you so much Danny. But you have to do us a big favor." Lance
said into the phone.
	"Sure anything. What do you want me to do?" Danny asked.
	"I need you to tell Justin something that'll make him rush down
here quickly." Lance said.
	"Okay. What do I tell him?" Danny asked.
	"Hold on a second." Lance said before pulling the phone away.
	"Hey you guys, is Laura in Orlando?" Lance asked. Everyone looked
at each other and nodded.
	"Yeah she has to be, because she's in school and all." Britney
replied.
	"Okay Danny, you still there? Tell Justin, that his sister was
hurt, like she broke her leg or something. And tell him that she keeps
asking for him. Tell him that she's at his house. Got that?" Lance asked.
	"Yeah okay. I'll tell him tomorrow morning, just cause he's pretty
much dead tired from the drive up here. So if I tell him tomorrow it'll
take him like seven hours to get down there."  Danny said. Lance thought
about it for a second before smiling.
	"Okay, don't tell him until about ten o'clock. And call us when he
leaves okay?" Lance asked.
	"Okay sounds good." Danny said.
	"Okay Danny, Bye. Thank you so much." Lance said.
	"No problem." Danny responded before hanging up. Lance hung up the
phone and turned toward everyone else.
	"Okay you guys, I have a plan." Lance said. With that everyone
gathered near.


	"Paul are you sure you can get the day off for the next couple of
days?" Danny asked as he sat in Paul's lap, tenderly running his fingers
through Paul's hair.
	"Yeah, don't worry about it. We can't let Justin drive home alone,
especially after the rough night he had. He's way too tired to drive
alone." Paul responded before kissing Danny's cheek.
	"You're way to sweet." Danny said before getting off to allow Paul
to resume his breakfast. Justin walked into the kitchen tiredly where he
let out a small yawn.
	"Hey Justin, How you feeling?" Paul asked as he pulled out a chair
next to him for him to sit down in. Justin took a seat and looked up
gratefully at Danny who gave him a glass of orange juice.
	"Justin don't get to freaked out but we have some bad news." Danny
said as he took a seat next to Justin.
	"What? What's wrong?" Justin asked with a worried face.
	"It's your sister. She broke her arm and is asking for you. Your
stepdad told Lance that she won't fall asleep until she sees you." Danny
said. Justin thought about it for a second and looked back at Danny.
	"Lance said this?" Justin asked questioning.
	"Yeah why?" Danny asked getting worried.
	"Well I was just wondering if Lance is pulling a scam to get me
back in Orlando just so I can talk with. . ." Justin let out a small sigh
of sadness before he could say his named.
	"Josh." Justin said with sorrow.
	"Well Justin, it might be a trick and it might not, but it's better
safe then sorry, I'd go down and check her out." Paul added. Justin looked
at Paul and then at Danny.
	"Yeah you're right. Plus it might be better if I went back to
Orlando. I just kinda showed up on your doorstep and all." Justin sighed.
	"Yeah well you can repay us by taking us to your doorstep." Danny
said as he ruffled Justin's hair.
	"What do you mean?" Justin asked, in slight confusion.
	"Well you are way to tired to drive alone, so Paul and I are taking
a couple of days off from work and driving you down. We're leaving in like
an hour." Danny said as he stood up and walked to the kitchen really
quickly.
	"are you sure? Cause I can drive down by myself. I drove up here by
myself." Justin said.
	"No we don't mind. We'll drive down with you and then we'll fly
back. It'll be like a trip for us."  Paul said as he too got up.
	"Okay well I guess I'll go get ready." Justin said finishing off
his orange juice.


	"Okay you guys!! That was Danny, They are on their way down." Lance
said as he hung up the phone.
	"Is JC still sleeping?" Joey asked as he walked into the room with
a pencil behind his ear.
	"Yeah, but he's in his bed sleeping nicely." Christina said as she
sat in front of the coffee table with a bunch of papers in front of
her. They all sat around the coffee table in the living room looking
tiredly due the planning that was going on last night.
	"Okay I think that we should all head home and take showers and
what not and then come back here and begin the set up." Lance said quickly.
	"Okay who's going to call Stacey?" Britney asked in a tone that
implied that she didn't want to do it.
	"I will." Joey said apprehensively raising his hand.
	"Okay so meet back in here in a couple of hours okay?" Lance
confirmed. Everyone nodded and began to walk out of the house.


	Lance hurriedly began to get everything set up. He dropped by the
Harliss household and grabbed Laura who was waiting eagerly for him.
	"Hey Laura okay here you go. Put this on your leg." Lance said as
he reached back behind his seat and pulled out a plaster cast that was in
the shape of a leg.
	"Why? What am I going to do?" Laura asked as she started to slip
into her cast.
	"Well we told Justin that you broke your leg and he's rushing
back. And then we're gonna tell Josh the same thing so he'll be all
worried. And then Stacey is gonna come over and it'll look like she's
taking advantage of him when he's in a sad time and then he'll blow up at
her at the same time Justin walks into the house. I just hope that Justin
doesn't come and see Stacey walk in or something and then run away."  Lance
said nervously.
	"Wow so complicated." Laura said as she slipped the cast on.
	"Yeah well I seriously only thought of it this morning." Lance
replied.
	"Okay so what do I say to JC?" Laura asked.
	"Well just say you broke your leg and that Paul is getting on your
nerves and that you needed to get out of the house. I'll bring up the idea
to order pizza and just sit around and then that's when Stacey comes. And
then Justin will come and then they will make out and I'll be able to
breath again." Lance said.  Laura let out a sigh.
	"What if they don't get back together?" Laura asked sadly.
	"Don't say that. They will. Their Josh and Just. They have to get
back together. They are too perfect for each other not to be together."
Lance replied as he pulled up to JC's house. He helped Laura out of the car
and then ran to his trunk and pulled out a pair of crutches.
	"I hope he believes me." Laura said as she made her way to the
front door. They stopped when they heard a car pull up behind Lance. Stacey
parked quickly and got out of the car. She bounced happily to Lance's side
and walked with him to front step ignoring Laura who was making her way
behind them.  Laura rolled her eyes and followed them up. Lance opened the
door and walked into the house and waited til Laura came in before closing
the door.
	"Josh, We're here!" Lane yelled. JC ran down the stairs to see who
was here, followed by Christina, Britney, and Chris. He froze when he saw
Stacey. He turned to go back up the stairs but was pushed down by Britney
and Christina. JC turned around and looked at Stacey before looking past
her. He saw Laura standing in a cast.
	"Oh My god! Laura what happened?" JC said worriedly, running to her
side. Laura let out a small groan as she tried to balance. JC scooped her
up into his arms and rushed her into the living room where he placed her
down on the couch. He kneeled beside the couch and placed a pillow behind
her back.
	"Are you okay? What's wrong? What happened?" JC asked.
	"I broke my leg. I fell off the balcony on the set of the play."
Laura said as she began to tear up.  Lance looked at her in shock. He
turned to Britney and gave her a surprised look.
	"She sure can act!" Lance said in a whisper.


	"What is Stacey doing here? Why did you invite her?" JC said as he
grabbed Lance's arm tightly.
	"I thought that maybe you two could work it out." Lance said with a
shrug. JC looked at him in anger and shock.
	"She is the woman that broke me and Justin up and you want me to
work it out with her? What the hell is wrong with you?" JC said as he
walked away sadly. He walked into the kitchen disappearing from
sight. There was a small knock on the door which caught Lance's
attention. Lance opened the door and smiled when he saw Danny, Paul, and
Justin standing on the doorstep while a light rain began to fall over the
late afternoon sky.
	"Lance greeted them into the foyer and smiled when he saw Stacey
walk past them toward the kitchen. Justin froze at the sight of her and
almost began to tear up.
	"What she doing here?" Justin said through gritted teeth.
	"She's here to try and get Josh in a vulnerable time." Lance said
in mock sadness.
	"Where's Laura?" Justin asked, in a non-caring way.
	"She's in the. . . the kitchen." Lance said as he pointed toward
the kitchen.


	Josh began to make Laura some hot chocolate and was rummaging
around the kitchen when Stacey walked in.
	"Hey Joshy." Stacey said as she walked up to him. JC let out a
frustrated sigh and began to walk out of the room.
	"Josh wait!" Stacey exclaimed. JC spun around and looked at Stacey
angrily.
	"I love you." Stacey said in earnest.
	"You love me?!?!" JC asked in disbelief. Stacey looked past JC at
the door where Justin was about to walk through.
	"Don't tell me you didn't feel anything in the bedroom." Stacey
responded.
	"Stacey, up until yesterday I always defended you. Justin always
told me not to be around you, he always said that you were trying to seduce
me. But I never believed him. I always defended you and gave you extra
chances just so I wouldn't have to hurt your feelings!!! You know what!?! I
should have listened to Justin!!! He was right all along. You were trying
to seduce me!!! And you know what if you were really in love with me you
wouldn't have tried to take away the most precious thing in my life. You
fucking broke me and my fiancé up. I only reacted that way in the shower
just cause I thought you were Justin. I would never enjoy the sensation of
your hands on me. I only love Justin and will never love anyone
else. Never!!!  My heart belongs to him, and if he doesn't want it, then no
one gets it." JC spat out. Stacey stood dumbfounded that JC had blown up at
her. JC let out another sigh of frustration and turned to leave the
room. He stopped in his spot when he saw Justin standing there staring back
at him. JC's eyes started to well up when he saw Justin. JC shook his head
and pushed past Danny and Paul and left the kitchen in a hurry. Justin
stood for a second before turning around and running after Justin. JC ran
out of the house into the rain in only his T-shirt and jeans. He fumbled
with his car keys, trying desperately to get into the driver's seat.
	"Josh!" Justin yelled from the door step. JC looked up at Justin
and squinted through the rain. The rain had now drenched him and his hair
hung over his eyes, dripping water continually. Justin ran to JC and stood
in front of him. Lance, Britney, and Christina ran out onto the driveway
and watched what was going on. Joey and Laura peeked through the curtains
of the window to see what was happening.
	"Did you mean what you said in there?" Justin asked as the tears
began to well up in his eyes. He fought to hold them back as he stared at
JC who looked deeply into his eyes.
	"Yes I did, Justin I love you and I never want to lose you. I
promise that I'll never let her come near me again. and I promi. . ." JC
was stopped by Justin walking up to him and pulling him into a deep
kiss. The two intertwined lips as the rain poured all around then,
drenching them both. JC tilted his head and leaned into the kiss while
Justin had both hands moved to JC's cheeks to be able to kiss fully. JC
pulled back a bit and took a breath before resting his head against
Justin's.
	"I love you." JC said as his mouth curved into a giant smile.
	"I love you too." Justin responded as he matched JC's grin. JC
pulled back and placed both hands behind his neck, he was undoing his
Leather lace that kept the Leo pendent around his neck. Justin watched as
that was the first time he saw JC take off the necklace. JC pulled it out
of his shirt to reveal the pendent and something else strung on the leather
lace. Justin smiled at the recognition of the engagement ring he had thrown
back at JC. JC slowly pulled the ring off the necklace and took the circlet
into his fingers. He picked up Justin's hand with his free hand and gently
slipped the ring back on his finger. He looked up at Justin and then back
down at the hand he held in his own.
	"Will you be my husband?" JC asked.
	"You know I will." Justin said before hugging JC tightly.


	Justin and JC walked into the house soaking wet and greeted by
everyone with giant smiles on their faces. Joey ran into the room with
Laura who was now out of her cast. Paul and Danny smiled as they watched
the two come in.
	"So you guys are still engaged?" Britney asked.
	"Yup." Justin nodded as he felt JC's arms wrap around and tighten
around his waist.
	"Good so I don't have to cancel the order for the glass vases for
the wedding." Britney said.
	"But Josh?" Stacey asked.
	"Stacey I think it's about time you get your ass out of our house."
JC replied. as he placed his chin on Justin's shoulder.
	"But. . ." Stacey asked.
	" I don't mean to sounds cheesy but, Bye bye bye." JC said pointing
toward the door.
	"Well Danny how would you like to walk me to my car?" Stacey asked
as she batted her eyelashes.
	"Oh please girl. Keep on walking cause me and Paul are doing just
fine." Danny said as he lifted his hand which was interlocked with
Paul's. Stacey let out a huff and stomped out of the house.


	JC and Justin walked upstairs into their room, running to get out
of their soaked clothing. Justin ran into the room and looked around. He
ran to the closet and pulled out JC's favorite sweatshirt. The plain blue
sweatshirt was three sizes too big and lined on the inside.
	"I get to wear this." Justin claimed.
	"Fine but only because it's you." JC said placing a small kiss on
Justin's cheek.
	"You know you took off your necklace. You never take off your
necklace." Justin noticed as JC peeled off his shirt.
	"I know, I had to though, because then the ring will be close by."
JC replied as he took off his pants.
	"Damn you're sexy." Justin said with a grin. JC cast him a look
before sliding off his wet boxers and walking over to the drawer. He pulled
on a pair of Justin's boxer briefs, and grabbed a different sweatshirt. He
searched around a bit for a pair of pajama pants before laying on the bed
and watching Justin change. Justin dressed similar in the way JC dressed
but wore JC's sweatshirt happily.
	"Here let me help you put this on." Justin said as he walked over
and pulled JC's Leo necklace out from between JC's fingers. He went behind
Jc and pulled the two ends around JC's neck and started to tie it.
	"Don't tie it too tight now." JC said. With that Justin yanked back
a bit causing JC to gag quickly.  Justin laughed to himself as he put it at
the right length and tied it tight.
	"That wasn't funny.' JC said before breaking into a small laugh.
	"Yes it was." Justin laughed. JC turned and began to tickle Justin
under his arms. Justin jumped off the bed and ran away from JC in
laughter. JC ran after him out of the room and down the stairs. Justin and
JC ran into the kitchen where Justin backed himself against the counter. JC
stood in front of him and leaned forward to kiss him. the two once again
were embraced in another lip lock, slowly titling their heads in sync with
their kiss. Justin's hands grabbed on the counter in back of him while JC's
hands rested on Justin's sides. They broke briefly before giving each other
a series of small kisses.
	"I have a hankering for cereal." JC whispered before pulling away
from Justin to grab a bowl from the cupboard. He poured himself a bowl of
cereal before running to the fridge and pulling out the milk. He poured
some in and pulled a spoon from the drawer. He leaned himself next to
Justin on the counter. Justin looked at JC in mock shock. JC took a
spoonful of cereal into his mouth and looked back at Justin.
	"What you want some?" JC asked as he held out his bowl.
	"No I don't want some! You just dissed me for a bowl of cereal!"
Justin said in awe. JC tossed him a devilish grin. Justin stood in front of
JC and moved in between his slightly opened legs. The bowl of cereal was
held in between them while they looked at each other with smirks. JC took
in another spoon full into his mouth and placed a sloppy kiss on Justin's
cheek.
	"GGRRRROSS!" Justin said as he wiped his cheek off with the sleeve
of JC's sweatshirt.
	"I love you." JC said with a grin, while chewing down his cereal.
	"I love you too." Justin responded before leaning in to take in the
spoon full of cereal that JC held up for him.


	"Look at that! You can't even tell that they broke up nearly
twenty-four hours ago. You can't even tell there was a rift in their
relationship." Christina said as she leaned against the doorway watching
the two secretly converse as they leaned against the counter.
	"Do you think they'll ever get sick of each other?" Joey asked.
	"No I think if you can't wait to be around the person and look
forward to seeing that person, I think it's love." Chris joined in.
	"You look forward to seeing Busta and can't wait to be around
him. Does that mean that you two are in love with each other?" Lance chimed
in.
	"Ha. Ha. Very funny." Chris said.
	"What are we talking about?" Britney asked as she escorted Danny
and Paul.
	"Justin and JC." Christina replied. Justin and JC looked up from
their flirting when they heard their names in the conversation. They looked
toward the door and smiled at the people crowded in the threshold to watch
them.
	"Okay you guys. Show's over. Let's all go into the living room and
do something." Justin said as he pulled JC behind him. JC strained a little
bit to put his bowl on the counter before following Justin out of the
kitchen. He let out a whistle which caused Leo and Ozzie to come racing
toward him.
	"Come you guys. You're part of the group too." JC said to the two
dogs. Everyone piled into the living room where they all took a seat in
various places. JC took a seat on the recliner and welcomed Justin when he
took a seat on the arm of the chair. Ozzie curled up in front of JC's legs
while Leo strolled toward Christina who was seated on the floor.
	"What do you guys want to do?" Lance asked as he picked up the
remote control and turned on the TV.
	"Hey anyone in the mood for something freaky?" Chris asked.
	"You mean a movie?" JC asked.
	"I dunno, I'm not feeling up to going out tonight." Britney added
before resting her head on Lance's shoulder.
	"Well I got a couple of DVD's. I got a new one that Justin told me
to buy. It's in the cabinet." JC said as he pointed to the small cabinet of
the entertainment center.
	"Which one do you guys want to watch?" Lance asked as he made his
way to the movies.
	"I dunno. What do you want to watch?" Joey shrugged. Lance shuffled
through the movies before stopping at one.
	"Ohhhh!! You guys! This is a great freaky movie!!! Justin and I saw
this in the theaters." Lance said holding up a movie.
	"What is it?" Christina asked.
	"Final Destination." Lance smiled.
	"Ohhhh! That was the weirdest movie I've ever seen. And the next
day we had to take a flight. I swear I held onto JC's arm so tight that I
left scars." Justin added.
	"I remember that." JC said as he rubbed his arm.
	"I'm sorry baby but I was freaked out." Justin said before placing
a small kiss on JC's lips.
	"I'm up for it. I never saw it." Britney said.
	"Me neither." Christina added.
	"Have you and Paul seen it, Danny?" Justin asked.
	"Nope, we're up for it." Paul said, from his spot on the floor in
front of Danny who was on the couch. Danny ran his fingers through Paul's
hair while nodding as well.
	"Okay so I guess we're watching this." Lance said as he put the DVD
in.


	Justin had ran and gotten a giant comforter for himself and Josh
during the movie. Justin between JC's spread legs and wrapped both of them
up with the giant comforter. Lance had his arm around Britney who would
constantly bury her face in his shoulder. Paul moved up on the couch to sit
next to Danny and both watched the movie eagerly. Laura had pulled Joey's
arm around her and clutched onto the older man.  Christina founder her way
next to Chris and held onto his arm tightly. Justin watched tiredly while
JC had both arms around his waist.
	"You okay?" Josh asked in a whisper to Justin. Justin turned his
head back as far as he could to see JC's face. He gave him a small smile
before pecking him at the corner of the mouth.
	"Yup as long as you're here." Justin whispered back. JC gave Justin
a smile before both of them directed their eyes to the TV once again.
	"You two are way too cheesy." Lance said shaking his head.
	"Hey leave them alone. It's romantic." Britney said, giving his
thigh a slap.
	"I'm hungry." Joey announced.
	"What else is new?" JC snickered.
	"Hey!" Joey shot back.
	"Me and Lance will go get some snacks." Justin said as he started
to get out of the chair.
	"Why me?" Lance asked.
	"Cause you and I have already seen this, and know that she's going
to die as soon as she steps into the path of that bus." Justin said.
	"Hey!!!!" Everyone said before throwing their pillows at Justin. He
ran out of the room with Lance following behind him.
	"What's up Justin? You look kinda thoughtful." Lance said as he
went digging through the cabinets.
	"Just thinking over some stuff. That's all." Justin said as he
absent-mindedly began to get snacks.
	"Justin, What's wrong? Come on, it's me." Lance said as he stopped
to look at Justin.
	"It's about the wedding." Justin started.
	"You're not having second thoughts are you???" Lance questioned.
	"No, I'm just worried about it being in a month. In one month!!
That so soon." Justin said as he opened a bottom cabinet and pulled out a
handful of dog treats.
	"Well you guys are getting married in a month, I know it might seem
like just around the corner.  But Justin you have to look at it this
way. You've known JC for like eight years now. In a way you guys are
already married. You've dealt with so much in the last twenty-four hours
and yet you two still act like nothing has happened. If you ask me, You
guys can get married tomorrow and it won't make a difference.  You two will
always have that love." Lance said. Justin stood there looking at the
ground in wonderment.
	"Justin you know how you have the fear of dying unloved?" Lance
asked.
	"Mmhmm." Justin mumbled.
	"Well you shouldn't of had that fear for the past eight years."
Lance said before gathering up all the bags of snacks in his arms. Justin
placed the dog treats in a bowl and carried them back into the living room,
yet slowly, giving him time to think over Lance's words. When he came
back. He found JC laying on the floor with a pillow under his head. He laid
before the TV and watched the movie closely. The comforter laid over him
loosely as he watched. Justin took a seat next to him before laying next to
him on the pillow. He placed the bowl of dog treats between himself and JC
and whistled for Ozzie and Leo to come over. The two dogs trotted over and
laid down eagerly next to JC. JC snickered as he watched his two dogs obey
Justin.  Justin slowly brought tow doggy treats up and placed them on JC's
chest. Justin gave the dogs questioning looks a small nod which set them to
devour the treats on JC's chest. Justin snickered before moving the bowl
and laying sideways on the floor facing JC. His eyes were on the TV as he
watched the horror that was about to come. JC put his arm down and offered
Justin to clutch onto it, which he gladly did.
	"Hey girls, close your eyes if you don't want to see what's going
to happen next." Justin warned them as he continued to watch. The movie
went on and soon the gang was tired out from the days events.  Justin
yawned slightly as he lifted his head from JC's chest. He put the bowl of
doggy treats on the table before looking down at JC who was starting to get
up.
	"Okay you two. Goodnight. I'll see you either tomorrow or day after
that." Christina said as she pecked Justin on the cheek.
	"I think I'll go with her, Lance." Britney said, turning to face
Lance.
	"Okay, goodnight, Baby." Lance said placing a small kiss on her
lips.
	"Night you guys!" Justin waved as Britney, and Christina left.
	"I'm going to head out too." Chris said waving to them.
	"Night Chris." JC waved.
	"Okay Laura I'm going to call Paul and tell him that you're going
to stay here tonight okay?" JC said as he gave Leo a pat on the side.
	"Okay Josh, Can I take my usual room?" Laura asked.
	"Yeah go ahead. Do you want some clothes to go to sleep in?" JC
asked.
	"Okay." Laura replied.
	"Okay well go ito our room and go to the drawers and in top drawer
on the right hand side should be some T-shirts and sweat pants. Take which
ever one you want." JC said as he watched her walk up the stairs.
	"Hey you guys can I crash here?" Joey asked.
	"Uhm yeah sure. You can take the guest bedroom next to our
bedroom." Justin said.
	"But I want the other one. It's bigger and has it's own bathroom."
Joey complained.
	"Sorry Joey, that's for Danny and Paul." Justin said letting out a
small yawn.
	"Oh Okay." Joey agreed.
	"Thanks Justin." Danny said as Paul stood behind him.
	"No problem. Let me show your to your room." Justin said before
mounting the stairs.


	Justin let out a sigh as he walked into the bedroom he slept in
with JC. He ushered in Leo and closed the door behind him. He saw the
bathroom door opened with the lights on. He walked in to see JC slipping on
a pair of sweats over his briefs. JC looked up and smiled at Justin who
stood leaning against the doorway.
	"Hey Sweetheart." JC said as he turned off the lights and walked up
to Justin.
	"Hey Josh." Justin said as he kissed JC's chin. Justin turned the
lights of the bathroom back on and began to brush his teeth. JC began to
get the bed ready by throwing off two pillows and flattening the others. He
pulled the bedspread back and sat on the side of the bed that Justin
usually sleeps on. He watched as Justin whistled a song as he came out of
the bathroom. He looked up and connected eyes with JC.
	"You're sleeping on my side? I thought you liked sleeping on that
side." Justin said as he pointed to the other side.
	"I do like sleeping on that side. But if the rain clears up that
the sun will come on this side and wake you up. But if you sleep on my side
you can sleep without getting woken up by the sun." JC said.
	"Huh?" Justin asked in confusion.
	"Man! I screwed it up. I tried to be all romantic. And say that you
can sleep later if you slept on that side. But I screwed it up." JC said as
he fall onto the bed in frustration. Justin fell on the bed next to him on
his stomach and gave hima quick peck on his nose.
	"It's okay I still think you're romantic." Justin smiled. JC
averted his eyes from the ceiling and looked at Justin.
	"I love you." JC proclaimed.
	"I love you tooooo!." Justin said before chuckling.
	"You sound high! Why don't we get to bed." JC laughed.
	"What side should I sleep on?" Justin asked, knowing that it'll
make JC feel bad.
	"Shut up!" JC replied with a small laugh before getting in bed and
pulling the covers over his head.  Justin got into bed and moved under the
covers and closer to JC. JC smiled at Justin before pulling the covers down
off of his head and changing his position so he laid on hi side. Justin
faced the same directions as JC and closed his eyes. It was less than a
second later when he felt an arm around him and spoon him from behind.
	"G'night Sweetheart." JC whispered.
	"Night stud muffin." Justin said. Instantly, both men began to
chuckle at the remark.


	"Justin! JC! Wake up!" Justin heard as he felt an arm shaking
him. Justin tiredly opened his eyes and looked at the clock at the side of
the bed. He squinted and saw it read three in the morning. Justin looked
into the darkness at the person in front of him who was shaking him. He
could make the person out and squinted to see who it was. His hand reached
for the end table where his wire-framed glasses were. He pulled on his
glasses and looked back to see if JC was awake. He was awake and had
propped himself up on his elbows.
	"What do you want Joey?" JC asked tiredly. Justin flipped on the
lamp and then leaned back against JC. JC wrapped both arms around him as he
rested against the mattress again. Justin looked up at Joey who looked at
them nervously. He had sweat beading up at his forehead and had a confused
look on his face.
	"Uhm I dunno how to say this . . . um not sure if it's true or
something. Like I dunno. . .if I am. . .  there's nothing wrong with being
. . . I just dunno." Joey said nervously.
	"Joey it's okay. Just tell us." Justin said soothingly.
	"Guys I think I'm gay." Joey said.
