Subject: magikal gift chapter 9 You know the drill...this story is pure fiction, and doesn't mean that any of the characters mentioned in this story is gay or wha.... Chapter 9 Two years ago... "Johnny! Please!!! Jose Fernando is going to be there tonight!" Pina said into Johnny's cell- phone. Johnny was laying out in front of his beach apartment. "You know I hate that party!" Johnny signed into the phone. "Yeah but you already have you'r ticket. Plus everybody is going to be there!" Pina wined. "I hate the yacht club as it is!" Johnny wined. "You know you'r coming! Because you love me!" Pina said "yeah yeah yeah! Lets meet at the entrance of the ballroom around tenish?" I asked. "Sounds like a plan!" Pina said content on her win! Johnny just smiled and pressed the end button on his phone. He continued to layout till the sun started to set. He went back upstairs to find his mom yelling at the cook, about something which was overcooked. As usual she had a drink in her hand. "hey mom!" Johnny interrupted trying to save the maid. "Oh, hi honey! So have u decided on what you'r doing tonight?" She asked leaving the kitchen and sitting on a chair in the designer wooden dinning table, which was featured in this months issue of "Cosas." "Yeah, I'm going to the Yacht club party after all." Johnny told his mom. "Good! I'm glad, It's good that you mingle with those kids!" she said. Johnny got up, rolling his eyes and started heading to his room. "where are you going ?" His mom shouted. "To bed, its going to be a long night!" He shouted back. Justin lay on his hotel bed. He wasn't really looking forward to this New years eve party he was going too. All the usuals were going to be there, he was just really going for PR purposes. His hotel phone rang " hello?" Justin awnswered. "hey whats up Jus?" Lance said on the other line. "hey Lance, trying to get some shut eye before tonight!" "I really am not looking forward to it. Which is why I was calling!" "Huh?" Justin said confused. "Well were gonna ditch that MTV party and go bar hopping in Brooklyn. Wanna join? Lance said temptedly a smile crossed over Justin's face on how pissed off there manager was going to be. "wouldn't miss it for the world!" Johnny looked outside the window towards the ocean. It was 11:45 and people were getting ready for midnight. The floor was packed with adolecent chit chatter, kids who were wannabe Paris Hiltons, only more obnoxious. Pina already was flirting with Jose Fernando, a rich punker kid, and ditched Johnny to be alone. Johnny walked to the corner of the room, were he wouldn't be noticed, he was already on his 5th glass of champagne and was feeling it. That's what he did during these type of parties. Drink! "This taken?" He heard a deep voice ask. Johnny looked up, to see Carlos Ycaza smiling down at him. Johnny couldn't help but stare. He was tall, had broad shoulders, had a whole latin lover look to him. "Um ... no go ahead take it!" Johnny blushed thinking he just wanted to the chair. Carlos gave out a small laugh, "no I ment can I join you?" Johnny just smiled in disbelief. Why would he want to spend time with me, when he could have any girl in this room!? You see Carlos Ycaza was the playboy of the city. Girls worshipped the ground he walked on. "um yeah... go ahead!" Johnny smiled confused oh his intentions. Johnny had just came out a couple of months ago, making him one of the popular gays. All the girls wanted to be his hag, which bothered him. The whole Jen and Jack, or Will and Grace stereotype bothered him, but hey better that then being hated on. Johnny figured that Carlos probably wanted to use him, to get to one of his girlfriends. "So what are you doing by you'r self ten minutes to the New year? " Carlos asked flashing one of his smiles which makes girls melt. "what can I say? All my friends are girls, and there all with there dates, I'm just the substitute bf!" Johnny chucked. "well that's not fair! Mind if I... keep you company?" Carlos asked putting his hand on Johnnys leg. Johnny flinched, he couldn't believe what was happening. Carlos Just stared at him, smiling, with his hand on his leg. He stared deep into Johnny's eyes trying to hypnotize him. Johnny didn't even hear the countdown start for new years, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Carlos gently carresed Johnny's cheek and gave him a small kiss on the lips. "Happy New Year Mr. Valencia" Carlos purred Johnny smiled and responded, "Happy New Year." And started to kiss him back. Everybody was to busy drunk, dancing, to notice the two boys making out in the dark corner. Everybody except for Pina, who just smiled at her best friend across the room. Justin was wasted by the the strike at midnight. He was at an underground indie hipster club in Brooklyn with all of his bandmates. Josh, and Lance had were making out with some little up, dut to the fact that he was already having problems with Cameron. hipster kids, while Joey and Chris had already ditched the club heading to some local strip club no doubt! Chris had slipped some acid in his drink earlier. He thought it would help him loosen Justin just wanted to go back to his hotel, so he stumbled out of the club and started to flare for a cab. He didn't know whether it was the drugs, or his imagination but the streets were dead, and seemed to be morphing into and old colonial street. Justin stumbled around and this old weird woman helped him up. "are you ok boy?" The old homeless woman asked. Justin stared at her, her eyes seemed to glow while she was wrapped in layers of clothing. "um... yes I just feel weird..." Justin mumbled unable to take his eyes off this old woman's eyes. She stayed staring at him, reading his soul, when she walked back in fear. "Beware child... This boy witch has power's bold, hidden thoughs, and visions old. Shame and truth is seen in his eyes, for he is a powerful witch, a witch of wise." The woman chanted to Justin. Justin stumbled back and bumped into somebody. He was facing Josh. "Thank God, Josh that old woman was freaking me out." JC looked around. "What woman..." Josh asked looking at Justin awkwardly. "Chris put acid in your drink didn't he?" "Let me take you home?" JC said helping Justin in a cab. JC got in the front, and told the driver the hotel directions. It was probably 3 in the morning and Johnny and Carlos were walking down the boeard walk holding hands. All the hippies were starting to pack up, except a gypsy tent. "Hey look, lets get are fourtunes read!" Carlos said pulling Johnny towards the tent. "you really don't believe in this crap do you? " Johnny said giggling at Carlos "Come on it would be fun!" Carlos said he gave the money to the young woman, and she smiled and both Johnny and Carlos. She started to smoke a cigar, and as she did, she blew out the smoke, and concentrated on both Carlos and Johnny. The woman looked shocked and gave back the money to Carlos. "I'm sorry, I--I can't read this..." The woman said frightened staring at Johnny. "What?!" Carlos said astonished and insulted. "Get out of here, and take that cursed bruja with you!" She sneered. Johnny got sort of freaked out at this woman, as the woman screamed louder for them to leave. Carlos grabbed Johnny protectively and took him away from the crazy woman. "He weill be the death of you!" she screams again and again.
