"I just hope you don't get scared and not want any thing to to with me, I don't think I can live without you." Wayne said. 'Oh God! what did I just say?' Wayne thought. Wayne quickly hang's up the phone. Grabs his laptop from the back seat and locks up baby. Goes to the trunk and grabs one of his suitcases and heads to the front desk. After getting to his room, he sets down on the bed and thinks. 'Ok, what is going on with me? Did I mean what I said to Josh? Is that why I drawn him to my dream? I'm I in Love with him?' Wayne looks deep into himself and finds the answer's looking back at him. "I AM! I don't understand how, but I'm in Love with Josh." Wayne said a loud. __________________________________________________________ Part 4 JOSH Josh and Justin drove up to Justin's house after a long tiering time going from club to club. Justin drove home because Josh could not keep his mind on the road. Josh kept thinking of Wayne, and what he would say when he called him. "Josh, what's with you today?" Justin asked as he looked over at Josh. "Uh, What do you mean?" Josh asked Justin. He was not sure what Justin meant. "I mean what's wrong with you. All night you have been lost in your thought. You didn't dance that much, and you love to dance. So that means that you have something that is troubling you, so spill it." Justin said. "Curly... Justin...I think I'm in love." Josh said. "With Terri?" Justin asked. Josh looked over at Justin, then looked down at his feet. 'Do I tell him that I'm in love with Wayne, someone I haven't meet yet, but can't stop thinking about. What will he do, when he finds out that I'm gay. I need to tell him. Please let him understand.' "Justin. I've got something to tell you, that could ruin our friendship." Josh started. "Josh! What are you talking about, nothing will ruin our Friendship we are friends forever." Justin stated. "Justin. Just promise me that you will not go crazy on me." Josh pleaded. "Josh. You are starting to scare me, hold on let me pull over so we can talk." Justin said as he pulled into a parking lot, parked the jeep and shut it off. "Josh look at me." Justin said. Josh turned his head to look at Justin. "OK, you can tell me anything." Justin said in a soft and sincere voice. "Justin.... I'm gay." Josh said. "What! Your gay! What about Terri? You sure that you are gay?" Justin said as he looked at Josh. "Justin, I've know I was gay sense high school. I'm sure. Terri know that I'm gay, she was just playing my girlfriend so no one would ask to many questions, and you and Lynn would stop setting me up with blind dates." Josh said with a small laugh. Justin sat there quietly thinking. After a few minutes turned to Josh and said. "Josh. I love you and always be here for you. So who are you in love with? Please tell me you are not in love with me. I mean I love you, but I love you like a big brother." Justin said. "Eeww. Justin you are not my type. Gross!" Josh teased. "Gross? Oh please I've had a lot of men hit on me. So I know you think I'm hot." Justin said with a big grin. "Justin you have to big of an EGO! Besides you are the one that I caught looking at me when I get undressed for bed, when we are on the bus." Josh said with a snicker. "Oh please I have caught you checking me out more then you have caught me. Seriously Josh who is it? Is it one of the guys?" Justin asked. Josh rolls his eyes and groans. "Justin, that is as bad as me and you. All of you guys are like my family." Josh said. "Then who?" Justin asked. "Wayne." Josh whispers. "Wayne! Josh Terri's Wayne? Is Wayne Gay?" Justin asked. "Yes." Josh said. "Let me get this straight, no pun intended. You are in love with someone you haven't even meet! I bet you don't even know want he looks like." Justin said. "Justin, I know what he looks like I have seen his picture. I can't explain this I love him, and that scares me a little, no a lot." Josh said. "You are scared?" Justin asked. "Yes. Justin I don't know him I have only talked to him for a few minutes yesterday, but I can't get him out of my mind I think about him all the time. The scariest part is that I'm afraid that he won't like me and I don't think I could be with out him." Josh said with pain in his voice. "Whoa, you have it bad. Josh I can't say that I approve of you falling for someone you haven't met. In fact it is scary, you sound like one of our more zealous fan, but I can tell you one thing he is the one that is lucky. You are a great guy and he would be a fool not to like you. Josh just do me a favor don't throw your self at him you would scare him off, if it is meant to be then it will happen." Justin said as he took Josh in his arm's and gave him a hug. "Justin, promise me that you won't tell the other guys. Remember what Lance said about gays. 'That gay's are the spawn's of the devil, and they deserve to burn in hell.' I don't want to have the group break-up because of Lance's short sighted view point. "Don't get me wrong Curly I like Lance, but he has to start thinking for himself instead of letting the Church tell him what to think." Josh said as he pulled back to look at Justin. "Josh, it's not up me to tell the guys about you being gay. I think Joey and Chris will take it OK, but you are right about Lance he would must like leave the group. Just so he doesn't have to be around you." Justin said. "Ummm. Justin we should get going, I need to make a phone call." Josh said to change the subject. "Sure. Who are you going to call at this time of night?" Justin asked as he started the jeep and started to drive back to his house. "Ummm...Huh... I'm going to call Wayne, Terri told me to call him so I can get to know him better." Josh said softly. "Terri!?! She told you to call him? Is she trying to get you two together?" Justin asked. "Yea, she thinks we would make a nice *Couple*. I hope she is right." Josh said the last bit under his breath. "Josh... can... I ask you something?" Justin asked slowly. Josh looked over at Justin and could tell that he was nervous about what wanted to ask. "Sure Curly. Ask away." Josh said. "How.. well.. have you ever been with a man before? I mean in like a relationship." Justin asked. "Yes. I have had two relationships." Josh said as he started think first of David then Aaron. "Oh, so uh... do I know them?" Justin asked "Do you remember Aaron?" Josh asked. "Aaron? Oh Aaron from Nashville, he was a nice guy so what happen between you two that you broke up?" Justin asked. Josh thought to himself. __________________________________________________________ FLASHBACK Josh still remembers the day he meet Aaron. He just got done with his vocal lessons for the day. Josh decided to go get something to eat so he jumped into his Jeep and headed to the Hard Rock Cafe'. When Josh walk in he went to a booth in the back, and looked around. Scanning the room he saw about ten people in the place, then he saw *him*. Red hair that glowed with a orange cast when the light hit him right. He was tall about 6'6", pale skin with freckles, a slim build. Josh could see that he had a nice chest on him because he was wearing a tight t-shirt that showed of his firm chest and a nice six pack stomach, long legs and a very nice bubble butt. Josh was staring at the guy as he walked over to the table, he had a boyish face and was wearing thin gold rimmed glasses. Josh gasped as he looked into his deep blue eyes, Josh was drawn deep into the guys eyes and lost himself in them. "Hello, my name is Aaron and I'm your waiter. Would you like something to drink?" a deep voice with a thick Irish accent asked. Josh shook himself mentally. pulled his eyes from Aaron's and looked at his face better. Aaron had a strong chin and high cheek bones a slightly curved nose that fit so well on his face and the must perfect lips that was curled into a killer smile. "Hello. Would you like something to drink?" Aaron said as he tilted his head a bit. "Um. Oh sorry forgive me was lost in my thoughts. Sure I will have some water." Josh said. he could feel himself start blushing. "Hey, don't worry I'm not going to bite." Aaron said, then he smirked. "Unless you want me to." Aaron said is a soft seductive voice. Josh thought 'Is he hitting on me. Oh please let him be hitting on me.' Josh shoot him his million dollar smile. Now it was Aaron's turn to gasp. 'God he is so hot.' Aaron thought. "Ok, water coming up." Aaron said as he turned to get the water. "My, name is Joshua, but my friends call me JC or Josh." Josh said. Aaron turned his head back and said "Ok JC be right back to take your order." Aaron and Josh became friends and lover for two years. Then Josh and Justin got a call from Joey asking them if they would like to start a group him and a friend. __________________________________________________________ "Justin remember when Joey called us, and asking if we would like to start 'N Sync?" Josh asked as he came out of this thoughts. "You bet, I will never forget that day." Justin said with a smile. "Well I went to tell Aaron about it, this is what I wanted, this what we were working for. Me and Aaron talked through the night, about me and him and what would happen to us. He told me I had to take the chance I had to go for it." Josh said as a tear fell from his eye. "So, we agreed that I would go down to Orlando and he would come visit. He still had two years left in collage and he wanted to finish, and get his degree in business. "It worked out great for a while, we would talk on the phone every other day and write each other once a week. When collage let out for breaks he would come down and visit. "When we were sent to Germany to cut our album Aaron was just finishing up his last year in collage. He got a great job in LA and asked me to move with him to LA. "I wanted to I really did but I had to think of the group. I asked him to give me sometime to think about this, but he said that it was either him or the group." Josh said. "Josh, did you love him?" Justin interrupted. "Yea, Curly I did." Josh said with a catch in his voice. "Then why didn't you go for it?" Justin asked. "Justin I had to think of the group, not of my life. besides I love you guys and didn't want you to hate me for quitting the group." Josh said. "Josh! You gave up Aaron, who now that I think of it made you happy and alive for us. I don't think I could do that." Justin said. "Justin, I didn't like Aaron telling me. I had to choose between him or you guys." Josh said. "So I told him that I choose the group at lease you guys didn't ask me to choose." Josh said. "Josh we didn't know. I for one would have told you to go for it." Justin said. The conversation was interrupted when Justin pulled into the drive way of his house. Justin shut off the engine and opened the door. "lets finish this in the morning I need to get some sleep and you have a call to make. Oh Josh what will you do if Wayne asks you to choose between him or us." Justin asked. "Justin he doesn't even know I'm JC from 'N Sync. Terri told me to keep that a secret tell he gets here." Josh said. "Why?" Justin asked "Because he wouldn't even give us a chance. He would pull away because he is openly gay and would not want rumors running around about him and one of us." Josh said. "The more I hear of Wayne the more I want to meet him. I like what I hear so far." Justin said with a smile. "Thanks Justin." Josh said. "For what?" Justin asked. "For not turning your back on me." Josh said. "Josh you are like my older brother, and besides I need something to black mail you for so you will clean my room up." Justin said with a smile and a chuckle. "Same old Curly. Justin I have to much dirt on you to make up for what you have on me." Josh said as he walked into the house. "Yea, but not everything Josh. Not everything." Justin whispered, as he headed into the house to. Justin headed to his room, after saying good night to Josh. Josh headed to his bed room to, closed the door and pulled out his cell phone and Wayne's number. Josh's Heart was beating faster as he dialed Wayne's number. 'Ok here we go. You can do this.' Josh thought as the phone rang. "Hello?" Wayne said. 'Oh how I've missed hearing his voice, such a deep and sexy voice.' Josh thought as his heart raced. "He..Hello Wayne how are you?" Josh stuttered. 'Oh God I sound like a little kid, trying to talk to his first crush.' "Josh?" "Yea Hi." "How did you get this number? Wait Terri gave it to you Right? 'He sounds pissed.' Josh thought. "Yea, she said I should get to know you, before you get here." "I don't think so, I'm sort of tired. I've been driving for about eight hours and I need to get some sleep." 'Oh shit. I want to talk to him, but I don't want to get him mad at me. Terri will kill me if I don't talk to him tonight.' Josh thought "Wayne. Terri told me to tell you if you and I don't talk, she said and I quote. * I will rip out his intestines and play cat's cradle with them.*, I would not like to see that. I'd like to see you and get to know you better, not go to your funeral." Josh said with a laugh. "Ok! You win. Call me back in Twenty minutes, I just pulled into a motel and need to get my room and settle in." ' I should let him get some sleep. He sounds tired.' Josh thought. "Wayne, if it's to much trouble for you I can call you tomorrow." "Josh, I'm sorry. I just had a bad day, with all the stupid drivers on the road. Not to mention what happed this afternoon." 'Oh god, that's right I forgot about Rex.' Josh thought. "Don't let Rex get to you Wayne, it was only a kiss." "How the hell did you know about Rex and the Kiss! 'Oh shit. Why did I say that?' Josh thought ' This is too weird, me and Wayne did have the same dream. Mark What did you do to us.' "Um.. Huh... Well I dreamed that you and I talked about Rex and the kiss." "Josh, call me back please. I need to think, just know that I'm sorry for doing that to you." "Why are you sorry?" 'What's he talking about? Mark is the one who did it. Didn't he?' Josh thought. "Ok I'll call in about twenty minutes. Then I want you to tell me what you are talking about." "Sure I'll try to explain to you what happen." 'He knows what happen? This has happen to him before?' Josh thought. "I just hope you don't get scared, and not want anything to do with me. I don't think I can live without you." CLICK. 'He can't live without me? Did I hear that right?' Josh thought as he shut off his cell phone. "Is he in love with me to? Mark what did you do to us?" Josh said out load. Josh heads to the bathroom grabbing a towel on his way. 'I need a shower.' Josh thinks as he turns on the shower and gets undressed. He checked the temperature of the water and then steps in. 'OK. So me and Wayne shared a dream. How? Why? Mark said Wayne needed me, need me for what? There is to much I don't understand. I feel Mark is behind this, but the way Wayne acted when I told him about the dream. Wayne knows more about this then I.' Josh thought. Josh spent ten minutes in the shower. Letting the water relax him, then stepped out and dried off wrapped the towel around his waist and headed back to his room. Grabbing a pair of boxers from his dresser, Josh dropped his towel and put them on. Josh looked over at the clock on his nightstand 1:45. "Great I'm late for calling him." Josh picked up his cell phone and called Wayne. __________________________________________________________ WAYNE, JOSH 'I haven't even meet Josh. How can I be in love with him.' Wayne thought as he lied down on the bed. he started to drift to sleep when his cell phone started to ring. Wayne's heart started to beat faster, and a shiver started running down his spine. 'That has to be Josh. Play it cool Wayne we don't want to scare him, he is straight you can't tell him that you love him. You would lose him before you even get to see him.' Wayne thought, as he picked up his cell phone and turned it on. "Hello, Josh?" Wayne asked. "Why did you hang up on me?" Josh asked. "I'm so sorry Josh, I just had to think about what happen between me and you in the dream." "What did happen, why did we share the dream?" "Josh... Some how I pulled you into my dream. I have done it before." "You pulled me? I thought..." "You thought what?" 'Do I tell him about Mark being there? Mark didn't want Wayne to know that he was. Come to think of it why wouldn't Mark want Wayne to know?' Josh thought. "I thought it was Mark, that did it." Wayne gasped. "How do you know about Mark?" "Terri told me about him and you. I'm sorry for you lose Wayne, Mark sounded like a really great guy. I would have liked to have meet him." 'Terri told him about me and Mark. He know I'm gay, and he still wants to get to know me.' Wayne thought as he smiled. "So your ok with me being gay?" Wayne asked. "Sure, why wouldn't I be? I don't judge people by their sexual preference, unlike some of my friends." "Thanks. Now why would you think it was Mark that pulled you into my dream?" "First off, I don't think it was your dream, or for that matter mine. I think Mark pulled us from our dreams." "That's not possible. I'm the one that has always pulled Mark into my dreams." "What!?! Your telling me you can pull people into your dreams!" "Well, I don't know if I can take anyone into my dreams, I have only done it with Mark and my Mother, and now you. I don't understand how I do it. My mother says it is gift that has been passed down from her side of the family." "So does your mother have the same gift?" "No. Mom told me that it does not show up in all the generations. She has told me that it also has to do when I was born, mom told me that I have more of the gift then anyone in the family did." "So why would your birth have any thing to do with it?" "Well, I was born at midnight on October 31. Mom is Wiccan and believes that I have been blessed because of the time and date I was born. All I know is that this 'Gift' is more of a curse that gift." "Why would you call it a curse?" "I've no control over it. I never know when I'll pull someone in to my dream, and if I'm in a nightmare that dreamer could get hurt. It took me a long time to become master of my dreams, but I still don't have that much control over my Nightmares." "You mean you don't draw the person to your dream?" "I don't have conscious control over it. The first time I did it was with my mother. I was having a nightmare and wanted my mother to come and protect me and then a mirror appeared in front of me and it was filled with swirling mist, then my mother stepped out of it. In the morning mom told me that she dreamed me calling her and a mirror appearing in front of her and that she felt that she had to step through it." "There was no mirror in my dream." "Well for Mark it was an archway with swirling mist." "No, nothing with swirling mist." "You said that you thought it was Mark that pulled you to me. Why would you say that?" 'Do I tell Wayne about seeing Mark in the dream. Mark didn't want Wayne to know that he was there.' Josh thought. "Wayne, I saw Mark there he was standing behind you. He didn't want you to know that he was there. He is that one that told me to ask about Rex." "I had a Feeling that Mark was standing behind me looking over my shoulder, but I thought that was just my way to think he is watching out for me. I wonder why Mark would tell you to ask about Rex." "Because you needed someone to talk to, about Rex and the kiss. After you left Mark told me that he brought you and me together, but I woke up before I could learn anything else." "This is to much to handle. I need to sleep on this and think, call me tomorrow and we will talk some more." Wayne said. "Sure I will call you tomorrow about 1:00 a.m. Is that ok?" "Sounds good. Take care Josh. Bye" "You too Wayne take care. Bye." Wayne hangs up the phone, and falls into a deep sleep. Josh hangs up the phone and falls into a deep sleep. __________________________________________________________ DREAM The wind blows the tall emerald grass gently as Josh walks slowly down a hill. Birds sing a slow mournful song, as the sun starts to set. Josh feel at peace as he walks down to the dirt road at the bottom of the hill, as he reaches the road the wind blows gently his face, it feels like a lover touch. Josh looks down the road and there hanging in the air is a set of double doors. They seem to be made out of Metal. The left was black, and the right was white. there was a Yin-Yang symbol on the doors and a oriental dragon wrapped around the symbol looking like it was protecting the symbol. The door frame was Braided metal, bluish sliver, reddish gold, and deep bronze. "I think Someone what to talk to you Josh." a voice said behind Josh. Josh spins around. "Mark. What is going on? What is that?" Josh said as he points at the doors. "That is hard to explain. It's how your mind interprets the link that Wayne is forging between your dream and his." "So this is not your doing then?" "No, the other dream was my fault, but this time it's Wayne's doing. "Listen you have to understand what is about to happen. You are about to go into Wayne's dream. You can't show fear. If you do then his dream will change to match your fear, and will feed on it. Believe me when I tell you that you can get hurt in his dream and that it will transfer to the real world. Know that Wayne wouldn't do anything to hurt you, but his dream will try. Use your love for Wayne to weather the worst of his dream. I'll be there for you and will try to help you, but I don't have control of the dreams of other people any more." "Wayne's dream will try to hurt me? Why?" "No. I'm saying if you show fear the dream will change. Wayne has a lot of control of his dreams unless the switch in to a nightmare. Then he loses a lot of control. Josh you will have some control in the dream to, you can change your cloth, your appearance, you can make weapons, and you can draw on the skills of the dream worlds." "What do you mean 'Skill of the dream worlds'?" "I mean you can be the best at anything you think of. It is part of the power of the dream world's, but you will be second rate compared to Wayne. It is his dream after all." "Mark, I wanted to ask you something. Why did you draw me and Wayne together?" "I think you two wound be good for each other. It is time for Wayne to find someone else." "I don't know what to say, except that I think you should have asked me and Wayne first." "I know and for that I'm sorry, but it is time for you to go, I will be watching over you." "Thanks Mark, that is a comfort." Josh head's for the doors as he gets closer the door open and a swirling mist starts to flow out....
