| �Bye,� Jessie said, hugging her friend. �Thanks.� �I would�ve let you go in the first place you know,� Heather said. �You just didn�t get the right answer.� Jessie just shrugged and walked over to hug AJ. �Hey.� AJ smiled. �Hey.� She threw her arms around the older man, embracing him. �Thanks.� �No problem. Just be careful ok?� She nodded. �Passengers for flight 809 to Little Rock, Arkansas please board now,� the nasal voice announced. Jessie smiled weakly and glanced back at her friends. �Bye.� �I�ll see you,� Brian called. �I can�t let you go for that prank yet!� Jessie laughed and waved. Then she picked up her bags and went to the desk, giving the attendant her ticket. The attendant smiled and let her through. �JC here I come,� Jessie smiled happily. *** �JC! Calm down!� Chris cried. JC took deep breaths, attempting to calm his racing heart. No luck. It was still going as fast as a woodpecker�s beak on wood. �She�s gonna be here in 5 minutes,� Lance reported, looking at his Timex watch. �I can�t believe it,� JC said to himself. �She�s finally coming back to me.� *** �We will be arriving in the airport in 5 minutes, please fasten your seatbelts.� Jessie could barely contain her excitement as she buckled her seatbelt. �I can�t wait,� she whispered to herself. �Who are you visiting?� an older woman asked her. �My boyfriend.� The woman smiled. �Young love�ah yes. Young love.� *** The doors opened to the gate and JC stood up, looking for the familiar face. People passed and people passed, but there was no sign of her. �Where is she?� he muttered. Then, there she was, walking out of the gate, looking around slowly. �JJ!� JC called out. Her head snapped toward his direction and once she realized who it was, she ran over to him, flung her arms around him, and cried. �Oh my god�� JC sighed, feeling so happy. �You�re finally here.� �I thought I�d never get here,� she said, happy tears falling from her eyes. �Stop crying please,� JC smiled. �I want to see your eyes.� Jessie smiled. �I can�t help it. I�m so happy to see you.� �Me too.� �Hey don�t forget about us!� Chris shouted. Jessie laughed and hugged the short man. �I�m so happy to see you!� �Oh stop!� Chris joked. �Don�t hog her,� Justin said, coming up next. He hugged her also. �Wassup?� �Nothing much. Yet,� she smiled. �Hey,� Lance greeted, embracing her at last. �I thought you�d never get here.� �Huh?� �JC was almost to only skin and bones,� Lance shrugged. �I thought he�d never eat anything.� �The same for me,� she admitted. �But AJ got me to eat something.� �AJ?� Justin and JC asked. �Yeah. He convinced me that it wasn�t healthy. I guess if it weren�t for him, I wouldn�t be here right now.� JC and Justin glanced at each other, looking skeptical. Could JC�s dream possibly be true after what she said? �Wow. I guess we have a lot to be thankful for then,� Lance said. �Hey�where�s Joey?� she asked, looking for the brown-haired member of NSYNC. �Hey!� She turned around and screamed when Joey gave her a huge bear hug. �Nice to see you too Joey,� she gasped, the air knocked out of her. �Hey, hey, hey,� JC said, pulling her away. �I don�t want you to crush her.� �I wasn�t gonna crush her!� �You could,� Chris snickered. Joey glared at the shorter jokester. �C�mon you guys,� Lonnie, the bodyguard hurried. �The baggage claim is down that way.� �Thanks.� They all headed down to the carousel of baggage, pulling out all her suitcases. �What�d you buy that weighs so much?� Justin grunted, holding up a blue suitcase. �Um I think that one has my clothes in it.� �JUST clothes?� �Well, half of them,� she said, grinning sheepishly. Justin groaned. �Don�t tell me we have another Joey on the bus.� �We don�t,� JC interrupted, taking the suitcase from the blonde teenager. �We have an angel not another Joey.� Jessie blushed and she looked at the cart of suitcases. It looked as if she had everything. �Ok. Let�s go,� she said, looking at the guys. JC put an arm around her waist. �Ok. C�mon guys.� �And WE have to push the cart. And THEY get to walk freely,� Chris muttered. �This is unfair.� �Everything�s fair in love and war,� JC smiled. *** �I wonder if she got there yet,� Heather sighed, looking out the bus window. �She probably already did,� Nick assured her. �She was supposed to call me.� �God woman. She�s visiting her BOYFRIEND here,� AJ said. �You expect for her to call YOU?� Heather scowled and looked at the goateed man sitting next to her. �Shut up Alex.� �You too.� �Guys,� Kevin warned. �I don�t want any more of this.� �He�s the one being immature,� Heather said, sitting closer to Nick. �Me? I�m the one who caused the whole Jessie and JC mess,� AJ accused. �I didn�t know!� �SHUT UP!� Brian shouted. �You guys are always fighting. Next stop, you guys are rooming together, no questions asked.� Everyone stared at him, mouths open. �What?� Nick asked, not believing his ears. �You heard me. They are rooming together at that hotel.� �But�but she�s MY girlfriend,� Nick protested. �Well blame her you�re not sharing a room,� Howie scolded. �You should�ve calmed her down before she got hot.� �You better not try anything McLean. Or I�ll be on your butt so fast you�ll never have time to blink,� Nick threatened. �It�s ok Nick. For what I know, I�m spending the day with you.� Heather scooted closer. Nick smiled triumphantly and AJ was unreadable, his eyes behind glasses. *** �Wow,� she said, boarding the bus. �This bus is a lot better than Backstreet Boys�.� �Well, we DID decorate it ourselves�� Chris said. �So the socks on the floor are your doing?� she asked, throwing a white sock at him. Chris turned pink as the others laughed at him. Jessie sighed as she plopped down onto the living room couch. �I�m gonna love it here.� JC sat down next to her. �Of course you are.� �Oh shit!� she cried, shooting up. �What?� they asked. She whipped out her cell phone and dialed. �I was supposed to call her.� �Hello?� �Heather?� �Jessie! Oh my god!� �Hey.� �Are you there already?� �Yeah. I�m lovin� it already.� Jessie could almost see her friend smile over the phone. �Great.� �So how are things with the Backstreet Boys?� Jessie asked. �Great. AJ is driving me nuts though.� �He always has.� �I know� What? Ok fine. Jessie?� �Yeah?� �AJ wants to talk to you.� �Oh. Ok. Put him on,� she agreed. �Who?� JC asked. �AJ,� she said away from the speaker. JC nodded slowly. �Hey wassup?!� AJ yelled over the phone. It was so loud in fact; everyone else could hear him clearly. �He�s a psycho nut I tell ya,� Chris said with fake sadness, shaking his head. �Hey AJ.� Jessie threw a pillow at Chris. �How are you?� he asked. �I�m great.� �You eating right?� �I ate everything you sent me.� �Good. Even the fries?� he asked. �Yeah,� she laughed, �even the fries.� JC looked at her quizzically. AJ chuckled. �My little baby�s all grown up.� Jessie laughed. �I�m not a baby.� �To me you are. You�re like a little sister to me.� Jessie smiled warmly. �Thanks big bro.� �Oh darn. Carrot Top wants to use the phone now.� �Oh. Ok. I�ll talk to you later then,� she said. �You bet.� The phone shuffled and Heather said, �Hey.� �Hey.� �So did AJ say anything to offend you?� �If you call �you�re like a little sister to me� offensive, then yes.� �Ugh! How rude! This is so confusing! You�ve only known him for 5 years and I�ve known him for 15! How can this be possible?� Jessie laughed, then she caught JC�s look. �Oh Heather?� �Yeah?� �JC wants me to get off now.� �Ooh the great boyfriend of yours.� �Yup that�s him.� �Ok. I�ll see you later.� Heather hung up. �Yup that�s him? Him who?� JC asked. �She said �ooh the curly haired boyfriend of yours�,� Jessie smiled. JC frowned. �I was just kidding! You know I love you,� Jessie said, hitting his arm. �How do I know you�re telling the truth?� he asked. Jessie smiled and kissed him deeply on the lips. They parted and she asked, �Believe me now?� The blue-eyed singer smiled. �Nope.� The black haired woman leaned in closer, kissing him longer and deeper than before. |
