Forever 2.Nick Lance and JC There are lots more but then I don't think you all will be really interested in knowing all of it..hehe.. oh yeah..I wAnna say a big SORRY to all those who read Part one of Mirror Mirror..I had forgotten to space them out properly..thousand apologies!ONE last thing..I know that Lance is a Southern Baptist but the thing is I know more about Catholics so I decided to change that tiny little fact. Mail me again at melsleepy@hotmail.com Disclaimer -------------- This story is FICTION! It is only a figment of my imagination. It is no way connected to the real people used in my story. Mirror Mirror Part Two ----------------------------- Previously: Justin switched the radio off, cutting the song off. He knew the meaning of the message that is put across but then he can still feel the pain was all too real to forgive Lance just yet. He fell into a dream filled sleep as soon as he laid his head down on the pillow. NoW the sHOw bEgiNs! Lance continued gazing into the sea as the sun lazily makes its ascent to the sky for the day. He couldn't believe how immature he had behaved and how much he had hurt Justin. What can he do now to undo all the hurt that he had caused? Justin definitely doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. If he did, Justin would have already called. Lance's head began to throb as the thoughts are running into one another in his head. He got up slowly, shaking the sand from his loafers and pants before slowly making his way to his parked car. He could see some teenagers running towards the surf with their surfboard, wanting to catch the biggest wave. He thought back again on the time when he and the rest of guys went surfing. JC, Justin and Chris were naturals but then Lance couldn't keep his balance for the life of him. On that day, Justin gave Lance lessons on surfing and keeping his balance. Lance sighed again shaking his head to get rid of the cobwebs. His feet felt like leaden as he had found and lost his true love in less than two days. "Justin, you okay?" JC peeked into Justin's dark room. It was only 6 am but he could hear whimpering. "Go away JC," Justin's voice was heard underneath the blankets. JC went to the bed and pulled back the covers, ignoring Justin's frantic movements to keep the covers over his head. JC's heart tugged when he saw Justin's tear streaked face staring out at him. JC hugged Justin as hard as he could. "Is this about Lance?" "I loved him so much" "Curly, just wait for him to make his decision, okay?" "He already did. Last night he dedicated a song to me. The song was an apology for all that he had done and he wants me back. I couldn't accept him back after all this. What if he decides that this is not the thing for him?" "Curly, you know that Lance is really religious and all. He just need time to get over it. You know as much as I do that he won't do anything without thinking it over. And that song proves that he is also in love with you right?" "Sniff, I guess," "Isn't that what you want?" "Yes, but what if he hurts me again?" "Just, I can't promise you that Lance will not do this again. But isn't that what love is all about? Loving each other and take things in stride. Love is also about taking chances to be with the one you love. Lance had opened up to you last night about him loving you back and wanting you. I am guessing that he had never admitted that he is gay to anyone yet," "Yeah, so?" "CURLY! He is probably thinking that you are rejecting him now and that he lost you forever. If you love him, tell him and if problems arise, talk it through," "I reject him? I loved him too much for that," "Curly, you should be telling him and not me. You know that Lance is a really a BLUR person..he doesn't see what is right in front of him until it hits him in the head," "Yeah, but he had a cute head. Thanks JC. I just need someone to help me point the way," Justin grinned through his tears. "So, go call him!" "I will I will,DAD!" "Who are you calling dad?" JC jumped on top of Justin and started a tickling war. JC sat on top of Justin's stomach and tickled Justin's sides. "Say JC is the greatest" "No I will not!" "Fine, I think I can stay here for the whole day," "Okay okay..JC IS THE GREATEST!!" JC gets off Justin and adjusted his clothes, smirking. "You suck," Justin said to JC. "But you swallow!" and with that JC sprinted out of the room before Justin could make another comment. Justin decided to have a shower before going to the studio to record the newest single again. The recording done yesterday was really horrible and the producer specifically asked Justin and Lance to return again to re-record their parts. It will the first time he saw Lance after running out on him the day before and Justin felt like a girl with butterflies in his stomach, not knowing how to tell Lance that he still loves him. "OHMYGOD!" Justin yelled when he saw himself in the mirror in the bathroom. The face staring back at him is pale with streaks of tears, puffy eyes and red nose. His hair is really the most horrible part of all. 'It is a wonder JC didn't run away screaming when he came for me' he mused as he went under the hot water in the shower. JC smiled as he could hear Justin's singing upstairs. He had a feeling that things just might be okay. He just wished that he has someone who can love him for him and that someone will come soon. He never have anyone that is close to him and that he can trust until the 'N Sync guys come along. After that, they had been his life and family. He loves the guys but he wants someone he can love and vice versa. God, am I meant to be forever alone? JC sighed, settling the newspaper on the kitchen counter. "SHIT" He toppled his coffee on himself when the doorbell suddenly rang startling him from his thoughts. He took a look at his now ruined Tommy Hilfiger shirt and took it off. He threw it into the clothes hamper and ran towards the door when the bell rang again. In front of him is a girl who looks about 18 or 19. She looks surprised to see the half dressed extremely good-looking guy in front of her. She looks at him again, and took a few steps back to check out the house number. "I don't know how did you do find out where we are but we are not free to sign autographs," JC was getting impatient at the girl who is looking at him wonderingly and had caused his new Tommy Hilfiger shirt ruined although he knew the latter was his own fault. At his rude tone, the girl snapped to attention. "For your information, MR. Big Ego, I am not here for your so-called autographs. What good will it do me?"she said bitingly. JC was astonished by the girl's words. 'Don't she know who is he?' "Okay, draw back your claws. I am sorry for being rude but what are you doing here?" "I am looking for Justin. I think this should be the right address since I last wrote to him," "A HAH! See I was right. You are just another fan," "I AM NOT okay! I am looking for Justin," "Yeah, you and every other girl in the world," "YOU ARE IMPOSSIBLE! I don't know how good-looking you are but your ego is unbelieving," "I don't have an ego," "Ohkay then you have a BAD attitude," she drawled out. "No I don't!" JC is surprised on how he is behaving. He could hear thumping as Justin ran down the stairs. "JC, what's all the commotion? I can hear you from my room," Justin walked towards JC. "You are JC?" the girl asked astonished. "Yes, I am," JC smiled at the girl's shocked face. Score one for me! He counted in his head. At that moment, Justin and the girl caught sight of each other. "Annie!" he yelled and ran the rest of the way towards Ann and hugged her. "Just! Put me down," she laughed breathlessly as Justin spinned her round and round on the front porch of his house. JC was bewildered. What she said was true? Finally Justin calmed down enough to pull both Ann and JC into his living room. As Ann passed JC who still have the shocked look on his face, she smirked at him and poked him in his stomach. "Don't you think it is a bit early to be at this stage of undress? What will people say? Tsk tsk tsk," JC ran up to his room and grabbed a long sleeved black silk shirt that goes well with his khakis. He returned to the living room to find Ann sitting on Justin's lap talking animatedly together. JC was confused. Who is this Ann? Is she Justin's ex girlfriend? But Justin is gay and doesn't have any intentions towards her now, right? JC went back to the stairs where he will be out of sight and sat down, eavesdropping shamelessly. "You mean he just ran away from you? Why if I see him, he will be left with only one..," JC grimaced. He had no doubts that if Ann met Lance at that moment, she will make good on her threats. She is not the typical girl that only giggles and gossips. She seems like something more. JC was surprised that he himself have such thoughts of the girl who had just gave him a tongue lashing a few minutes before. "Ann! Anyway then at the studio, he was avoiding me like mad and then I sorta ran away," "Why did you run away Just? What did he do?" "It's no biggie, Ann," "What do you mean it is no biggie. You told me for years that you loved him so and he hurt you so much. It is a big deal. Tell me," she ordered Justin. "That is in the past. What is important is that he loves me too but..oh shit! I forgot to call him. He would think that I don't love him anymore," Justin jumped up, forgetting that Ann was on his lap. She dropped to the floor with a loud OUCH and glared at Justin meanly. "Oh, I am so sorry. I forgot completely about you," Justin offered a hand to Ann to pull her up. She retaliates by pulling him down, making him fall on top of her. Both of them laughed and Justin leaned forward to give Ann a peck on the lips. Lance glanced at his clock. It is already 8.30 am. He had just finished his long shower and remembered that he had to be at the recording studio by 10 am with Justin. How is he supposed to act around Justin, the one he had lost? For the first time in the two days, he let his tears flow. He had been so stupid. He stood up and looked into the mirror, "No more regrets. Go to Just's house and talk to him now," Lance wiped off the tears and grabbed his keys to his Durango and drove to Justin's house, his intentions clearer and clearer by the minute. He won't give up until Justin listened to his explanation and if Justin doesn't love him anymore, Justin will just have to look at him straight in the eyes and tell him that. Soon enough, he reached Justin's house. He knocked softly but the door opened on his knock. He walked in, surprised that there wasn't anyone there. Lance heard laughter from the living room and walked there cautiously. What he saw make his broken heart smashed into a million pieces. Justin was on top of a girl, kissing. He had lost. Lance turned around wanting to get away from that scene of Justin kissing somebody other than himself. He tripped over a small table and fell with a loud thud. The laughing couple looked up and JC came running from the stairs upon hearing the thud. "I.. I got to be going. I just want to wish you two all the happiness," Lance stammered, feeling sick. "I hope you can make him happy," Lance directed to the girl who is staring at him. "Lance! It is not like what it seemed," Justin ran towards Lance. Lance started to run towards the door but was hindered by JC who will not budge. "JC, get out of the way," he begged. "No, Lance. It is time all this clear up. Just listen to what Curly had to say," JC firmly said, pushing Lance towards Justin who have this scared expression on his face. Lance knew that when JC is in this mood, there is no changing his mind. Lance sat down on the sofa resigned, looking at everyone but the girl who sat down in front of him. "Why don't you want me anymore?" that statement came out from his mouth before he could stop it. Lance flushed, feeling foolish. "Oh, Lance. I do. I still loved you so much," Justin gushed out, wanting to hug Lance but Lance avoided Justin. Ann narrowed her eyes when she saw that Lance had hurt Justin's feelings. "Then why are did I see you kissing her?" "She is Ann. My best friend. We were only playing around then I merely gave her a peck on her lips. We are only friends, honest," Justin wanted Lance to believe him so much and he couldn't take it if Lance shut him out of his life before he even become involved in it. "That is the truth," Ann said simply. She could see in Lance's eyes that he loved Justin and wanted to believe Justin. The cloud of hurt is still there lingering, not wanting to let go. "If you are too stubborn to let go of your hurt, you are only making yourself miserable, believing nonsense and letting go off the one chance you have with Justin together with it," Ann wisely said, giving Justin a hug. Justin smiled at her gratefully. JC stood there, guarding the passageway in case anybody has the sudden urged to bolt smiled at her. Lance stared at her. "How can you still love me after what I had done to you? I don't deserve you," "I still love you because you are the one of the things that kept me going everyday even when I am down. You give me the courage to be the person I am without being afraid of people bringing me down," Justin cried and walked to Lance, hugging him close. They hugged each other for a long time before Lance nudged Justin's head up and gave him a soft kiss. This is the first time Lance made the first move. Ann smiled brightly, happy that her best friend is finally together with the guy he had loved for such a long time. JC also smiled but cleared his throat loudly when Justin and Lance began to kiss each other more passionately. They pulled off each other and turned to Ann and JC smiling, arms around each others waist. "Lance, JC, this is Ann. My best friend since I was 8. She moved from Florida when she was 15 but we wrote to each other every month," Justin indicated to Ann. "Hey," she said. "I gather that you had already met JC but this is the one and only LANCE!" Justin giggled. Ann smiled again and turned to JC. "Yep, we met but then just now that was my other half. Let's try this again? Hie, I am Ann and you are?" "Hie, I am Joshua but you can call me JC. I am sorry about earlier on," "Hey, it's not a big deal. It is not often that I get to see such a cute 'topless' guy answering the door," JC blushed to Ann's good-humored teasing. He is beginning to like her character. "And you! If you ever hurt Justin, you will have to answer to me. Understand?" she gave Lance an eyeball to eyeball stare. He gulped once and murmured a soft yes. Ann then went and gave Lance a tight hug, "Treat him well," she whispered into his ear and pulled back. Lance knew that Ann was an all right person, only a little bit protective over Justin. "OH SHIT! It's already 9.45 am. Max will kill us if we don't reach there in time!" Justin frantically pulled Lance with him as they run out of the door. "JC, help me show Ann around. Shit, where are you staying by the way? Oh nevermind. We will talk later on," and with that the two blondes are speeding off to the studio. Ann shooked her head grinning. Justin is still the same even though he is now a rich and famous heartthrob. She turned back to JC. "So..erm...what do we do now?" "Hmm. If you don't mind, I would like to know more bout you," "Hmm, JC. Be careful. A girl might think that you are hitting on her," He smiled and led both of them to the kitchen. "You want a Coke?" "No thanks. So what do you want to know?" "Everything? Let's get comfortable in the den," After they are settled down in the den, the music is playing in the background softly. "Okay, I'm going to be 18 this March. Erm, I like all sorts of music except technos. Your turn," "I'm 23 going on 24. Music taste is the same as yours. Where are you staying now? How come you are here?" "I moved from Florida to Singapore. I am here to visit Justin and because Lynn called me saying that she is worried about Justin and hoped that I could do something about it. I think she is only expecting a phone call from me and not me in person..hehe," "Wow, all the way from Singapore just to see how Justin is doing. You two must be really close," "We are childhood friends. At first before I left, we thought of becoming girlfriend and boyfriend but at the end we decided that we are better off as friends," "Oh, so where are you staying at the moment?" "Here I hope," she tried to stop her yawn. "Oh you must be jet lagged. I am such a clod. Come, you can sleep in my room first," "OHMYGOD! I am sleeping in JC's ROOM!!!" she screamed, acting like a 10 year old girl. "Shh," JC answered her and closed her mouth with his hand. They walked upstairs slowly when Ann suddenly said, "Damn, my bags are in my aunt's house," "It's okay. We get it later on after you rest. You can wear my shirt first if you want," he threw a soft shirt at her. "Thanks," JC left the room to give her privacy to change her clothes. He went into the bathroom to clean up the mess Justin had probably left in there. It is okay when there were only two of them sharing the bathroom but now that Ann is here, it is not so proper. He walked past his room to throw Justin's stuff into Justin's room, which was beside JC's. He peeked inside and saw Ann fast asleep wearing only JC's shirt which barely comes up to her knees. He felt something inside him stir as he looks at Ann sleeping. 'God, is this the girl for me?' He asked himself. He knew that he is beginning to like Ann more and more but he doesn't know what to make out of it. They had only met for less than 6 hours. 'Must be the lack of sleep' he said to himself as he makes his way downstairs. *At the studio* "Okay that is a wrap. I don't know what is it that makes you two sing so well today but you better keep it up," Max spoke on the intercom. Justin and Lance grinned at one another. They knew what it was, it is love. They make their way to Lance's Durango and went to McDonald's pass thru for their lunch. Lance then drove them to the very same secluded part of the beach that he was at earlier. The place was serene because there were only the two of them at that spot. They sat down eating their burgers, both staring at each other more than the calming sea. Suddenly Justin giggled. "What?" "You have some ketchup on your chin," "Where?!" Lance tried to wipe it off but ended smearing it all over. Justin leaned forward, licking it off with his tongue. He then inserted his tongue into Lance's open mouth and explored the insides of Lance's mouth slowly. They kissed softly and then more and more urgently. Lance touched his tongue to Justin's, not believing that this is finally happening to him. He is with the one guy he truly loves. Lance run his hands through Justin thick mop of curly blond hair. "BEEP!" Lance pulled off reluctantly, looking at his cellular phone. It was Chris. He picked it up. "Yeah?" "Hey, Lance. Do you know where is Justin? He stood us up" "He is here with me," "Doing what? OH, wait! Don't tell me. I don't want to know. So do you guys want to meet up and do something?" "Hold on, I ask Justin," "Okay, Justin said yes. So where to?" "Meet us at the mall, same place same time," and with that Chris hanged up the phone. "Let's get going," Justin pulled Lance up from the sand. Lance looked at their beautiful picnic spot reluctantly. "Common, I will make it up to you,"Justin murmured in Lance's ear and give it a soft nibble. Lance smiled broadly and they head towards the car. Soon they reached the mall and went to the Nick Knack shop where they sell all sorts of stuff. They met Chris and Joey there. "Hey, where is JC?" "Oh he said that he don't feel like going and something about not wanting Andy or something to wake up alone in the house," "Crap, I forgot about Ann! She is sleeping?" "Yeah, who is she?" Joey curiously asked. Lance and Justin told Joey the whole story and both of them are curious to see Ann. They then decide to go to Justin's house to meet Ann. Before they can walk another step, a girl came flying at Lance. "Lance! I missed you so much," she kissed him in front of everyone. Lance stood still, slowly disengaging her arms from him. He glanced quickly at Justin who just looked at them with trust shining in his eyes. Lance felt overwhelmed by them. "Danielle, I told you that we are over. I don't love you like I love someone else," "Who? Don't tell me it is that Jessica Biel. God knows that she is trying to steal you from me in that show," "No, it is not her. It is non of your concern," Lance walked off with the rest of the 'N Syncer. Joey doesn't bother to show that he couldn't stand Danielle. Justin walked step next to Lance. "Just baby, sorry about that. I.." "Don't explain. I trust you," Justin gave Lance a quick peck on the cheek and ran towards the car park leaving Lance staring at his wake. Danielle saw this from the spot she was glued on. 'I won't let you go from me. We are meant for each other' she thought vengefully and she made her way to the cast of 'Boy Meets World' who were out together for a day of fun in the mall. ~~tO be cOntiNueD~~ I wasn't going to continue this story at first then I thought as long as there is someone enjoying my stories, I will keep on writing.=) till next time. At the moment, I don't know where am i going to take this story. So give me sometime to think out a plot.
