Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 06:40:54 -0400 (EDT) From: Nate Deep Subject: Love-Nsync Part 4 I'm sure you all know the legal stuff... Of course you know this story is fiction and does not imply anything about Nsync blah blah... Well thanks to all who gave me comments on this story. I know that part 3 was really brief but this one will be longer I promise. Like I said before, something came up while I was writing the story and now that problem is overwith. Email all comments to nate637@mail.com . Have fun reading this story. Previously on Love-Nsync... "What was all of that about?" I asked. "I don't know. Why would he just leave like that?" Justin said. "Well, as much as I want this to go on, I think you better go talk to him" "Yeah, I'll be back okay sweetie?" With that, he went to JC's room and saw him curled up. Part 4: [[[Authors Note: Justin speaks first, then JC...Alternate]]] "Hey JC man, wus up, are you okay?" JC took awhile to answer. "Umm. Nothing Justin, nothing." "C'mon man, do you think I'm falling for that lie? When there's nothing, there's always something. You've known me for how many years now, you can tell me anything." "Please... leave me alone." JC said with a tear falling from his eye. Justin sat next to JC and put his arm around his shoulder. "Don't hold out on me like this bro! No matter what you'll say, I'll always love you." "I need time... now please... leave, I really need to be alone." Justin knew there was something wrong from the beginning JC walked in his room, but he didn't want to pressure JC into saying anything. "When you're ready, tell me okay." "Yeah...umm...okay." JC said with a sigh. Justin gave JC a hug then got up. "Bye JC." "Yeah... bye." JC thinking to himself: I love you Justin. How come I never knew that I love you until now? Why is this so hard for me? You've been with me for years now and one of by best friends for year, but still, why can't I have told you I love you earlier? Is it why, when I saw him and Mark kissing? I need you now Justin, but I don't know how to tell you. With that, he had to cry himself to sleep still curled up on the bed. Back in Justin's room: When Justin got back to his room, he saw that Mark fell asleep. Justin was so worried about JC that his mind focused on JC. He sat at the coffee table thinking what was up. He thought to him self: I'm worried about you JC, I have never seen you so depressed. Why won't you tell me? I love you Joshua Cha... O god, why do I feel like this? I love Mark, and yet, there I love you. I do love you JC, and I love Mark at the same time. Did JC run out when he saw us cuz he got jealous? It can't be cuz you were comfortable with it the first time and you even joked around it. Or was it cuz JC was worried about me because he thought I was going to fast? I need answers, but I can't get them here. I have to leave to think. Justin started to cry and walked to the door. He took one more look at his boyfriend sleeping, then walked out. He went to the elevator and tried to stop crying. As it reached the lobby, he went to the front desk with red eyes from crying. The receptionist asked, "How may I help you sir?" She did not recognize who it was, she was in her early 40s. "Umm... yeah, can you relay a message to...Umm, Mark in room 1206." "Okay sir, may I have your name please?" "My name is... My name is Justin Timberlake." "And sir, what will the message be?" "Tell him that I went for a walk and I don't know when I will be back." The lady looked at me for a second then said, "Yes sir." "Oh yeah, and can you give the message in the morning?" "Okay Mr. Timberlake. So... this message will be sent tomorrow morning to room 1206?" "Yes, that's right." Then he walked through the sliding doors. He started to walk around the area, not knowing where he was going, but not caring either. He thought all the same thoughts he did over and over again reviewing each one. Soon enough, he was at the beach and he noticed that the sky was getting lighter over the horizon. "Have I been walking for this long?" His eyes were really red and were hurting. He finally looked at his watch and saw it was 6am. He decided to sit at a bench that faced a view of the beautiful horizon over the ocean. He again, was deep in thought about JC and Mark, this time without tears because they ran out. In Lance's room: RING! RING! RING! Lance picked it up and said in a really sleepy voice, "Hello?" "Good morning Mr. Bass, this is your wake up call and the time is 6:15am." The voice said. "Okay thanks." They hung up and Lance said to himself, it's 6:15 already? With that, he just laid on his bed for a few more minutes and then got up and went to the shower. When he finished, he dressed up in navy pants and a plain white gap t-shirt, brushed his teeth, and fixed his hair. He decided to check up on the other guys. First he called up Joey. He dialed up Joey's room number. Joey answered in an unusually awake voice, "Hello?" "Hey Joey, are you ready to go?" "Oh, its you." Joey said with a laugh. "Shut up!" Lance said. "I'm just playin man, you don't need to get all uppy! Well, yeah I'm ready and for some reason, I feel really refreshed." "Yeah okay, I'll go check on the other guys to see if they're awake and see you in the lobby." "Yeah okay!" The hung up and Lance dialed up Chris's room. "Hello?" Chris asked in a tired voice. "Yeah, it's me Lance, are you ready?" "Yeah, I'll be ready in a few, I already took a shower." "Okay, just checkin' to see if you guys are ready. Oh yeah and we'll meet in the lobby." "Alright bye." They hung up and Lance dialed JC's room. "He...Hello?" JC said in a really sleepy voice. "Hey sleepy head wake up!" "Yeah I am just a little beat." "Well, are you ready?" "Almost." "Okay then see you in about 10 minutes in the lobby." "Bye then." Once again, they hung up and last but not least, Lance dialed Justin's room. Mark wasn't awake yet. RING! RING! RING! "Hello?" "Hey Mark, where's Justin?" "Oh hey Lance! Hold on, lemme get hi... Wait! He's not here!" "He's not, umm, check for messages while I call the lobby and ask if he's waiting in the lobby." I said in a really nervous voice, "Ok, I'll call you if I have anything." Without saying bye they hung up. Mark just noticed the red light on his phone blinking. He took the phone and dialed the number to check his messages. The robot voice said, "There is one message. If you would like to hear the message, press 1 if..." Mark didn't let the machine finish and pressed 1 right away. The message said (it was a recorded message made by the receptionist who took the message), "Mr. Timberlake has left a message last night about him going for a walk and no knowing when he'll be back." I shot up my head and listened in shock. As the message finished, I hung up the phone with tears welling up in my eyes. I thought to my self, "Oh my god, something could have happened to him. What have I done?" Mark was blaming himself that he was the one who urged Justin to leave. He started to well up with more tears running down his face non-stop. He called over to Lance and told him the bad news. "Lance said in a shocked voice, "What! What happened, what did you say to him last night? We have to go find him, now!" I replied in a scared voice, "I didn't say anything bad... I don't know... I... I... I..." "It's okay, its okay, that's not the concern right now, the first thing we need to do is to find Justin." "Okay, I'll be ready in 2 minutes and I'll help call the other guys okay?" "Yeah okay." We hung up and I dialed JC's number first. "Hello?" I said in an almost panicking voice, "I... I... Just... Is... Justin... Is...Mi...Missing, I... Don't... Know... What... Uhh... Happened." "Calm down we are going to find him" JC was now almost crying and he was so worried about him. Lance already called all the guys and we all met in the hallway in 5 minutes. "Lets get to Mark's car before we say anything." Lance said. They all agreed and followed Lance to the elevator. In the elevator, it was dead silent. All you can hear is the breathing of 5 panicking young men. Once they reached the lobby, they walked out ad saw a large crowd of fans. They started screaming once the saw the guys. The guards were doing their best to hold the crowd and it was working. When they got out, some of the fans were saying, "Where's Justin? Where's Justin?" The guards created a pathway for the guys and once clear, they ran to Mark's car. Some fans started running after them but luckily they were ahead by a margin. The got into the Rav 4 and drove off only being blocked by some fans, but the excellent guards did their job. It was once again dead silent. I was driving, Lance in the passenger's seat, JC right behind me, Chris in the middle, and Joey behind Lance. I finally broke the ice while having tears, "I think I might know where to find him." "Where would that be?" Lance said in a worried voice. "I go to the beach whenever I have problems." The all nodded their heads. While driving, I heard a very faint voice from JC saying, "I love you Justin, please be safe, I love you." JC said that not noticing that he said that. When I heard him then I almost froze with those words. I saw JC holding hands and kissing Justin in my mind. I started to get scared and my heart pounded faster and faster by the second. Those words scared me because I was afraid that something was going to happen. Was that why he ran out when he saw us kissing? Because he loved Justin? This is all my fault. I now had tears running down my eyes uncontrollably. Once I heard those words, I also panicked of what was going to happen to our relationship while they were on the road. "MARK!! MARK!! WAAATTTCCCHHH OOOUUUTTT!!!" One of the guys screamed. "AAAAAAhhhhhhhhh!!" The rest of the guys screamed. "Oh my GOD!!!" I screamed. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!! I saw the car almost ramming toward us. I steered hard back into our lane, which my heart as was everyone else's was racing. "What the hell happened to you? What were you thinking?" Lance said furiously. "Well... I'm sorry, I was just deep in thought..." "Yeah, you almost killed us, pay more attention to your driving okay?" Lance replied again furiously. "I'm...I'm sorry" "Just pay attention!" Lance said almost yelling. >From there, I just was about to break down. I didn't want to live this life. So I parked the car. "What the hell are you doing?" Joey said. I didn't listen and say anything, I just got out and started running. We were really close to the beach and while running, I saw Justin. I didn't bother to stop. I just kept running past him. He screamed, "Mark, sorry I worried you like this. Mark!! Mark!! Wait please!" I couldn't hear and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Justin ttok me by the arm and stopped me. "What's wrong Mark?" Justin asked in a worried voice. I just dragged him on my arm. Then he finally had enough strength to stop me. I looked at him straight in the eye as he asked me with tears, "What's wrong? Please tell me." To Be Continued... Well, there's part 4. This part, I modified to make it more dramatic.
