Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2000 17:13:36 -0800 (PST) From: AJ Shukla Subject: Josh and Just/4 ****HEY YA'LL. Okay I received like thousands of e-mails about my bad knowledge of Justin's family. I'm soooooo sorry. Though I want it my. Here is the real deal. Justin has his real mom, Lynn, and a real father Randall. Got it? They had Justin and Laura-Katherine. Laura-Katherine died, sadly : ( , after being born. I heard that she was the twin of Justin. So that might be true. So Lynn and Randall had Justin and only Justin. Then they got divorced. Lynn re-married this guy named Paul Harless. They had no children. Randall also remarried to a lady named Lisa. They had two children. The oldest one is Jonathan and he is now six. But I'm gonna make him three cause toddlers are soo cute. The younger one is Steven who is now two. Which I might leave at two or maybe one. Actually one sounds better. He's going to be around my niece's age. One! Hehe they're bratty but soo cute. So in my story, I'm going to have Justin have a little sister named Laura, a half brother, Jonathan and a half brother Steven. Anyways. I'm glad all of you responded and are paying attention to all my mistakes. But don't be correcting my story for grammatical errors now. I'm right smack dab in the middle of finals and I'm writing to all ya'll. So be happy that you are getting one now and not sooner. Haha j/k. I'm not mean at all. Hehe well without further wait: Josh and Just 4 "Where have you two been?" Chris asked as he sat on the floor flipping through the latest Teen People magazine. "I went with Just to the restroom." JC replied. "And what happened in there between you two?" Joey smirked, as he joked with both Justin and JC. "Shut up!" Justin laughed. "Okay enough chat you guys. You are going to have to be escorted out of the airport because you have been noticed. Security is going to take you out the side entrance." The PR said butting into their conversation. "If you will follow me please." A security guard said pointing out the way out. They walked into an authorized part of the airport where they were led to the runways. They slowly walked down the stairs onto the ground where a limo, and an SUV stood waiting for them. Justin recognized his mother's Jeep instantly. AS he arrived closer she came out of the car to greet all of them. "Hello boys." Lynn said greeting them all. "Chris, How have you been? What have you done to your hair?" Lynn asked as she hugged him. "Not much, just cut it." Chris replied, running his hands through his hair. "Joey, How have you been sweetie?" Lynn asked, giving him a motherly hug. "It's been tiring Lynn. But it's going good." Joey responded. "Lance, honey, you have a cold." Lynn stated as he patted his back. "It's nothing. I just feel a little tired." Lance said, giving her a hug. "Joshua! Why haven't you called. You're mother and I have been waiting for months. I talked to her the other day and she said she thought you were getting off tour next week." Lynn said, kissing him on the forehead before giving him a hug. "I know I haven't called Lynn. I'm sorry. It's just that we were extremely busy with the new tour and all." JC apologized. "It's okay sweetie. But call your mother she's worried sick." Lynn said patting him on the back. "Hey honey. How was the tour?" Lynn asked, as she hugged her son. "It was fun Mom. Just a little tiring and tedious. But I'm glad to be home. Are the brats here?" Justin asked. "Jonathan is. He fell asleep on the way here. He's sleeping in the front seat." Lynn said noting the open front seat where Justin could see his baby brother sleeping cuddled against the arm rest. "Okay well I think Joey and I are taking the limo to our house and you'll meet up with us tonight right?" Lance asked. "Yeah. As soon as Chris, JC and I are settled and I did my hellos to all my parents I'll come right over." Justin responded. "Okay then we'll see you then." Joey said following Lance into the limo. "Okay Justin. You're luggage will be taken straight home. I think they un-loaded it into a car with every else's stuff so it'll get home tonight." Lynn said walking around the car to get into the driver's seat. Justin walked over to the front passenger's seat while JC and Chris took the back seat. Justin softly picked up his younger brother and placed him in his lap. "Here I'll take. Him he'll be more comfortable in the back." JC said taking the child gently into his arms. He looked at Justin who smiled graciously. "Thanks Josh." Justin whispered. JC flashed him a smile and took the kid into his lap while they all hopped into the car. "So guys. How was the tour. Anything new happen? Any special people in your lives?" Lynn asked, pulling out of the Orlando International Airport. Justin looked back and JC and then Chris. "Nope we are all single still." Chris spoke up for all of them. "Aww three handsome, mature boys still single. I know that you all will find that perfect girl soon." Lynn commented as she continued to drive. She turned onto the turnpike. Jonathan stirred in JC's arms and looked up. "JC?" Jonathan asked tiredly, in his adorable baby voice. "Yeah buddy. Go back to sleep. When we get home I'll wake you up." JC whispered, allowing the boy to fall asleep while hugging onto him. "We're almost home." Lynn said taking an exit. "Hey Dad? Paul? Lisa? We're home." Justin yelled as he walking into his house. Following him was JC who was carrying Jonathan. Chris walked into the house with Lynn. "He son! How have you been?" Randall inquired as he hugged his son. "Hi Dad. Hi Lisa." Justin said hugging her as she came in. "Hey guys How was the tour?" Randall asked as he hugged both JC and Chris. "It's been cool Randall. How have you been. Has Steven been keeping you up?" JC asked. "Yeah well. I was already used to it after having Jonathan. So it was just going back to the old schedule." Randall chuckled. Randall was the typical father. He was the one you could imagine in shorts and a polo shirt on a hot summer day with his apron in the backyard, cooking up a storm on his new barbecue grill. He was in good shape for an older man. Paul was similar in appearance. But more of the businessman than anything else. Lisa was tall and slender with her blond hair cut just short of her shoulders. She smiled as she saw Jonathan asleep in JC's arms. JC held the child in his arm with the small head resting on his broad shoulders. "Shall I take him off your hands?" Lisa asked, holding out her hands. "Oh don't worry about it. I'll put him to sleep when I go upstairs. Is he still on Tennessee time?" JC asked. "Yeah both him and Steven. It's about time for their naps over there." Lisa said kissing JC on the cheek hello. "Okay well how about you guys go upstairs and et settled and come back down. We could talk for a little bit and then you guys can head off." Lynn suggested. JC climbed the stairs to his room. As he opened the door he found it just as he left it. With everything the way it was. He carried the sleeping child to his bed where he placed him down. JC took the comforter back a little and moved Jonathan within the covers. He tucked the boy in and stood from the bed. "JC?" Jonathan asked. "Yeah Buddy?" JC asked in return. "Can you tell me a story?" Jonathan asked as he let out a yawn. "You want a story now? It's mid afternoon." JC claimed. He looked down at the boy's face which was looking at him. "Okay just one." JC said taking a seat on the side of his bed. "A long, long time ago there lived a storyteller. He had a beautiful little daughter. He watched year after year as his daughter grew older and older. And soon the time came for her tog et married. He summoned all available men to come and ask her for hand in marriage. The storyteller soon found hundreds of suitors waiting on his doorstep for his daughter's hand in marriage. He was baffled at which suitor to pick. So he created three challenges. Any man who could wrestle a wild mustang, catch a fish from the stream with his bare hands, and climb the tallest tree in the woods would have her hand in marriage. As the competitions began…" JC trailed off seeing that Jonathan was now asleep. He gently kissed Jonathan on the forehead and lifted himself from the bed. He looked down at the child before smirking and turning toward the door. In the door way, leaning against the threshold was Justin staring at him with a smile. "What?" JC asked. "Nothing just waiting to hear the rest of the story." Justin smiled. "Well dream on because I had no clue what I was going to say. I was either going to have a giant wave kill everyone or have some prince win all the competitions." JC laughed. Justin broke a smile and looked toward JC. JC let himself grin at Justin before walking up to him. He started to tickle Justin so he would get out of the way. "Hey no fair! I wasn't ready!" Justin said as he recovered from his laughter. He watched as JC walked down the stairs, only turning back to flash his pearly whites. "Justin! Oh my god Justin! You would not believe what I heard. I heard that you are going to meet the Backstreet Boys! Is that true?" Justin heard as he came down the stairs. He smiled at the sound of his thirteen year old sister. "I guess. I don't even know who we are going to meet." Justin joked. "Oh come on Justin! You have get their autograph for me. They are big celebrities!" Laura exclaimed as she begged her older brother. "And what are we?" JC asked. as he walked by. "You guys are…you guys. What about you?" Laura asked as she hugged JC hello. "Hey we're famous too." Chris complained. "Yeah but I know you. You guys are just you guys. I see you every holiday. But Brian. Brian I only dream of meeting." Laura said going into a love struck gaze. "Well thousands of girls want to meet us too." Chris said hugging her in greetings. "I don't why they do." Laura joked. "Okay, okay. I will try and get you your autograph if I meet them." Justin promised. "She is just like one of our fans except she is rooting for our rivals." JC snickered as he walked with Justin in to the kitchen. "Hello boys." Lisa claimed. Justin looked as his mother and stepmother were busy cooking in the kitchen. He watched as his father chopped some carrots up and Paul rummaging through the cabinets for pasta. JC walked into the room and picked up Steven who was walking around with the adults. "Hey Cutie! How's it hanging?" JC asked the baby. He carried the baby into the living room where he played with him. "Hey Mom. Do you mind if we leave for Lance's now?" Justin asked. "Well I thought we'd sit down for a little while and talk but we could do that later I guess. You guys are staying there tonight right?" Lynn asked. "Yeah but we'll be home all day tomorrow." Justin replied. "Ok Sweetie. Try not to be up too late. You guys need your rest." Lynn said giving her son a kiss. "Hey can I come?" Laura asked. Justin turned from Laura to his mother. "Well if it's okay with Lance and the other guys then sure. But make sure she goes to bed at a reasonable time." Lynn claimed. "I will." Justin replied escorting his sister out of the kitchen. "You will?" Laura complained. "No I just said that cause if I said I wouldn't than you would have to stay home." Justin laughed. "Can I drive?" Laura asked. "No! Not old enough." Justin said picking her up. "Hey Laura! How have you been?" Lance asked as he gave her a hug. "I've been good." Laura said walking into his and Joey's house. Chris walked in with JC and Justin following. "Hey you guys. What's the deal for tonight?" Chris asked plopping down on the leather couch in the living room. "Well I ordered a couple of movies if you guys want to watch them. Pizzas are on their way and all the junk food we can eat on the coffee table." Joey said taking a seat in the recliner. Lance hopped onto the couch with Chris with Laura next to him. Justin and JC took the love seat, each putting their feet on the coffee table in front of them. "What movie?" Justin asked. "The Sixth Sense. It finally came out of pay per view." Lance said. "Man you know I hate those scary movies and you know I do." Justin complained. "I love them." JC said, excitedly. "Well, good for you." Justin replied as he curled up on the couch. "Don't trip Justin. The show doesn't start til about six. You have an hour and a half before you have to watch it. good timing huh? Right when it turns dark." Joey teased. "Shut up!" Justin whined as he hid his face in the arm of the chair. "Tell me more! Any other celebrities? After four months on tour you only met a handful of celebrities?" Laura asked. "Well I saw Christina. Boy has she changed since MMC. Huh JC?" Justin asked as he looked up to JC's face. Justin sat laid out on the couch with his head resting on JC's thigh. "She sure has. She used to be this scrawny girl with long curly hair. I remember when you, Britney, and Christina used to try and get onto the set of Emerald Cove. Man that was classic. And finally, me being the best friend a person could have sneaked you three on." JC stated proudly. "And I greatly appreciated that." Justin said, flashing a smile to JC. JC smiled back down before ruffling Justin's hair. `He looks so cute, just laying on my thigh. I wish it was like this my whole life. Just someone to have and hold and be together with. ` JC thought as he looked out the window to see the quiet, high class, street. "Okay everyone movie starts in five minutes." Lance announced turning on the TV. JC's focus soon was brought back to the living room in which they sat in. He looked around. Laura was leaning against Lance while he found the right channel. Chris had a bowl of popcorn in his lap while he waited anxiously. Joey sat in the recliner with a soda in his hands. JC looked down at Justin who had turned to face the TV, yet had his head still on JC' thigh. Justin sat watching the movie start as he snuggled his head to JC's thigh. `This feels right. Now only if it could be like this forever. Just like this.' Justin thought letting his eyes watch the movie while his mind raced. `Maybe I should tell him.' Justin thought. He shook that thought out of his head and let his mind come back to the movie. He came back in time to flinch in fear. He clutched onto JC's leg and continued to watch. JC smiled at Justin's reaction and let his hand fall onto Justin's head. He slowly began to run his fingers in Justin's hair. He played with each curl mindlessly while his attention was sucked into the movie. Justin kept his eyes on the movie though his eyes began to droop. The soft feel of JC playing with his hair made him want to fall asleep. "Oh my god! This is my favorite part!" Chris exclaimed. Justin's eyes shot open to look at the screen. There on the screen was three hanging bodies. Justin quickly turned from the TV to face JC's stomach. He still felt JC's hand playing with his hair. He let his eyes close to get some sleep. "That was such a great movie!" Lance exclaimed as the movie ended. "Shhhh. Curly is sleeping." JC hissed softly. Lance quickly shut his mouth and looked at JC with a confused look. "But it's only eight o'clock. We still have another movie to watch. And this one is three hours long." Lance said taking out a video. "Not Titanic right?" Chris asked in fear. "No not Titanic. A River Runs Through It. One of the classics. I love this movie." Lance said popping it into the tape player. "I hope it's good." Laura said. "Oh your too young to remember it. It's a long movie but so good." Lance said hopping on the couch again. He tossed JC a blanket who in return placed it around Justin softly. Justin squirmed a bit before finally stopping within his blanket. He continued to sleep peacefully. "Okay that was a little too long. And it was boring. I'm glad it's over." Chris said letting out a yawn. "Hey! That was the best movie!" Lance retorted. "Lance! It was so boring. So the guy goes fishing. Like I care." Joey complained. "It's a memory of his brother. His brother was the one that started fly fishing in his family and that's why he continues to use it after his brother's death. Get it?" Lance explained. "No and I don't care. I think it's all boring." Chris said, letting out another yawn. JC sat watching his friends fight in the midst of their tiredness. "Okay well I'm too tired to argue." Lance ended. "Okay well I'm taking my room. Chris you can take the guest bedroom. And Laura can take the other one." Joey appointed. He glanced at Laura who was asleep on Lance's shoulder. "See. She thought it was boring too." "Ha. Ha. You're soo funny, that I can't contain my own laughter. Help me." Lance retorted. "I know I am. You don/'t have to compliment me." Joey joked. "Well anyway, JC and Justin can take the sofa bed. If you two think you can handle it." Lance snickered. "Yeah we can. I just need to get out from under Justin." JC laughed as he wiggled free, trying not to wake him. JC and Lance moved the coffee table and pulled out the bed from the couch Lance, Chris and Laura were sitting on. "Here are some blankets and stuff." Joey said throwing them on the bed which was just pulled out. "Okay, well I guess I'll take the couch and Justin can take this sofa bed." JC concluded. "I don't know. Whatever you feel like doing." Chris said, lifting Laura in his arms. Lance and Joey headed upstairs to their rooms. JC scooped Justin up in his arms and placed him down in the bed. He turned off the lights and grabbed a pillow and blanket for himself. He made his makeshift be don the couch and stripped to his boxers and a T-shirt. He walked over to Justin's bed and looked down at the sleeping teenager. He smiled as Justin hugged onto his pillow silently. JC bent down and kissed Justin on the forehead before walking to his couch and laying down. JC hopped out of bed quickly as soon as he heard Justin whimper in his sleep. He rushed over to the sofa bed and sat next to Justin. "Justin." JC said shaking Justin. Justin popped up from his sleep and looked around. He turned to see JC and quickly hugged him. "JC…" Justin began to explain. "It's okay Just. I know. I'm here. He's not going to hurt you at all." JC consoled as he hugged Justin tightly. "No it's not that. JC I have something to tell you." Justin sighed as he sat up from JC's arms. "Okay Just. You can tell me anything." JC said waiting for Justin's secret. "Remember how you were trying to find out who my crush was?" Justin asked. "Yeah." JC confirmed. "Well you know him." Justin let out. "Really? Who is he? It's not one of the guys is it? Cause I don't think Lance, Chris or Joey like you like that. It's not Lance is it? I know he's cute and all, but eww. He's like our brother…" JC was silenced when he felt Justin's hand on his mouth. "It's you." Justin whispered, looking straight into his eyes. JC licked Justin's palm. "Ewww." Justin laughed as he took his hand away. "Well I have to tell you something too." JC stated. "I have a crush on this eighteen year old and he's really sweet, and nice, and he is a great older brother and is a great singer." JC said. "Thanks JC." Justin blushed, looking down at the blanket. "Who said it was you. It's Nick Carter." JC stated in a serious tone. Justin snapped his head up to see JC with a huge smile on his face. "Your such a punk." Justin said jumping on top of JC. The two started to wrestle on the bed. "Justin don't hurt yourself." JC laughed as Justin grabbed both of his arms. Justin pinned JC against the bed while he straddled his torso. He pinned both of JC's arms against the bed as he looked down tiredly. Both were out of breath, staring into each other's eyes. Justin slowly began to move down. JC leaned forward and met Justin's lips. The two shared the kiss before backing up softly. They looked into each other's eyes and let out a small laugh. Justin let go of JC's arms and leaned in for another kiss. He felt himself being embraced by JC's strong arms while he got lost within his kiss with JC. The two turned so that Justin was beneath JC. JC slowly took Justin's lower lip into his mouth and sensually nibbled on it while he continued to progress the kiss. Justin let out a sigh of pleasure while he kissed JC back. A sudden flash crossed Justin's mind. He was in a dark alley with a shadowed man on top of him. "No!" Justin said pushing JC back. "What's wrong?" JC asked in concern. Justin sat there realizing he was in the living room of Lance and Joey's house. He looked toward JC who was terrified at what had happened to Justin. "It's just…it's just going…a little too fast." Justin sighed. "I keep thinking of what happened that night." A tear began to slide down Justin's cheek. "Aw Just. It's okay. We'll go as slow as you want to go. You don't have to explain and don't ever worry about em hurting you like that asshole did. I would never think of hurting you like that. It's okay we don't have to do anything." JC said hugging Justin. Justin rested his head against JC's chest while hugging JC back. "Thanks Josh." Justin replied softly. "No problem Cutie. Now why don't you get some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow." JC said as he began to get up to walk over to the couch. "JC?" JC turned around to face Justin, ready to do anything Justin asked. "Will you hold me." Justin asked, timidly. JC smiled and nodded before walking back to the sofa bed. He laid down next to Justin and allowed Justin to rest his cheek against his chest. JC wrapped both arms around Justin and caressed him softly to sleep. JC kissed the sleeping angel curled up to him and closed his eyes as well. To Be Continued ****Well there you go! It too me a couple of days to write but I did it. I hope you like it cause I probably won't writing the next installment which is after my finals. I take my last final Wednesday. So I probably will either start writing it that night or Thursday for sure. Okay well thanks once again on the correction of Justin's family tree and as you can see Laura is a character. I've always wanted a younger sister to take care of but I didn't so I guess I'm living out my dream through my story. It's sucks to be the youngest child! Haha. Well anyways, see ya'll later.
