Sean stated. "Justin are you okay? You have been looking down since you got on the bus this morning, everything okay?" Joey asked walking over to Sean. "I'm okay, just thinking about some stuff." Justin stated. "I will be okay, don't worry about me." "No one should worry about you any way you trouble maker." JC stated as he and Lance got up and walked to the back of the bus. "Here we go again, you three need to kiss and make up or something. We don't need this stress right now. I don't care what you three do, but solve this problem now." Sean stated as he and Joey walked to their bunk and crawled in. * Backstreet Boy's Tour Bus * "What's going on between you and Nick? He hasn't spoke to you at all since we been on the bus. Did you do something to Nicky?" Kevin asked. "Kev just leave it alone right now. Something me and Nick need to straighten out for ourselves." AJ stated as he walked to his bunk and laid down. "Brian where's Chris, isn't he supposed to be riding with us?" Kevin asked. "Yeah, but there is something going on in N Sync territory that he was needed for, so he got on their bus instead." Brian stated as he sat down on the couch. * Orlando General Hospital * "Good morning young man are you feeling better?" the man asked. "I have a pounding headache. Who are you and where am I?" Jason asked. "I am Dr. Jeffrey Paul, you were found at the airport yesterday unconscious and some people brought you in for medical attention." the man stated. "Okay I remember that, but where am I, where is my stuff?" Jason asked. "Security has all of your belongings, I will have someone bring it up soon. Right now you are in room 2 of the ICU in Orlando General. You have a small bump on your head and some cuts and bruises. You will be moved to a regular room after lunch time." the man stated. "Cool, I just have to wait till then to call someone right?" Jason asked. "Yes that's correct. ICU is not equipped with telephones. If you like you are allowed to use your cell phone when Security brings it up." the man stated leaving the room. "Oh great, nice bedside manor." Jason stated rolling over and falling back to sleep. * N Sync's Tour Bus * "Morning honey, how did you sleep?" Sean asked. "I slept great with you in my arms. Are we the only one's awake?" Joey asked. "No, we are all awake." Joey heard as Chris, Lance and JC spoke outside of their bunk. "Okay, what's the deal you guys spying on us or what?" Sean asked. "We were waiting on you two to wake up so that we can talk. Hurry up and get out of bed, we don't have all day you know." JC spoke. "Fine, fine we are getting up." Joey stated getting out of the bunk. "What time is it anyway?" "It's 11:15 in the morning, you guys should have rested enough by now. We need to talk and now." JC spoke. "What's wrong JC? What's the urgency?" Sean asked. "We are going to have some major problems with Justin soon when he finds out the latest developments between me and Lance." JC stated "Oh great, didn't I tell you three to solve this problem and solve it soon? I remember saying that before going to bed early this morning." Sean stated walking into the lounge with the other guys following him. "Sean, I don't know what to say to Justin. Right now if I talk to Justin I might snap at him and make things worse." JC stated. "If you guys don't straighten this problem out and something happens, Johnny is going to be very angry." Chris stated. "That's why I want this problem solved quickly. Where is Justin, get him in here, I want this problem solved now, no one and I mean no one is leaving this room until this problem is solved. Justin!" Sean shouted calling for Justin to get into the lounge. "What's going on in here?" Justin asked walking into the room staring at everyone. "Are you having a meeting to vote me out of the group or something?" "No, but we are talking about the problems between you, Lance and JC. I want this fighting to stop, and I don't want to hear no more about this. Basically I think this has gone on too long and it's starting to make me sick." Sean stated. "Well I am sorry if I am concerned that Lance is going to do something to hurt Josh. I want to believe that he isn't going to do that, but I just can't. I can't believe that a person deadset against homosexuality can just start dating a guy the next day." Justin stated. "Justin, I have tried to explain to you what my intentions were with Josh, but you refuse to believe anything I say. How can I convince you that I love Josh?" Lance asked. "You were not suppose to tell him that yet." JC stated. "What! Now you love Josh, how outlandish is this going to get? Next thing you will be telling me that you found the man of your dreams and you want to marry him!" Justin screamed. "We are not planning on getting married, just dating each other until we get to that point. Justin if you have trusted me all of these years as your friend, why can't you trust me now?" JC asked. "Josh I do trust you, it's Lance I don't trust. All of the things he have done make me not trust him." Justin stated. "I have apologized for all of that Justin. Sean and Chris accepted my apology, why can't you?" Lance asked. "Because you were supposed to be our friend! Regardless if Sean, Chris, Joey or I was gay you should have accepted it, instead of doing the things you did, you didn't have to do those things. Do you know how we felt?" Justin asked. "Curly are you gay? Why is this affecting you so much?" Joey asked. "Ahh, Ahh, Well...I, ummmm, what does it matter. I am saying that what he did was wrong." Justin stated. "You are gay, that's why you have been so mad. I don't know why I didn't notice it before. You are jealous of what me and Lance have. Curly are you in love with me or Lance?" JC asked. "Shut up!" Justin screamed as he stormed out of the lounge. "Well that went very well. Looks like we have a bigger problem on our hands now." Sean stated as he got up from his spot on the couch to go after Justin. * Backstreet Boys Tour Bus * "How could you do that to him, you knew he was going through some stuff already!" Kevin shouted at AJ. "Look Kev, at the time I wasn't thinking clearly. I don't know what to do. He was upset, I was feeling sorry for him and I just kissed him, then I told him I loved him." AJ stated. "You told him what!?!" Kevin shouted again. "What are you trying to do to the kid Alex cause him to breakdown or something?" "He said he didn't love me and he hasn't said anything else to me since." AJ stated as he started crying. "Alex do you really love him? All the years I have known you, I thought you were straight." Kevin stated. "I don't know, whenever I am around Nick I just want to touch, hold him and protect him. If that's love then, I am in love with him and in love with him badly. In the back of my mind I have always felt something for him, but last night was the first time I actually acted on it." AJ stated. "Why do you keep fucking saying that you love me Alex, I told you already that I don't love you, stop saying it!" Nick screamed as he walked into the lounge where Kevin and AJ sat. "I'm sorry Nick, I am really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you please forgive me." AJ stated still sobbing. "Alex I don't want anything to do with you, I wish I never joined this group!" Nick stated walking out of the room, leaving AJ still sobbing and Kevin frowning. ========================== TO BE CONTINUED...
