| �What?!� �She�s gone,� he repeated. He held out the note. �Here.� Nick snatched the note. He mumbled the words to himself then cried out, �Damnit!� �What?� He let them read the note. Everyone looked at Nick. �I love you all the same?� Brian questioned. �Is there something you�d like to tell us?� �I thought I did the right thing,� he said quietly. Then he looked up at AJ. �I did it for you.� AJ�s face stayed the same. �I know. But why?� �You loved her.� �What does that do Nick?� AJ asked. �Change the facts? YOU love her too.� �I know.� �I may love her, but that doesn�t change a thing. She�s dying over you. She was crying and yelling your name in her SLEEP for god sakes. I think I know who she loves,� AJ said. Nick shook his head sadly. �It�s too late. We don�t even know where she is.� �Jessie,� Howie and Kevin said together. Nick�s head snapped up. �The NSYNC tour�� AJ took out his phone and dialed. Ring�BEEP! Sorry, this number does not exist. Please check your number and dial again. Beep. �Damn!� AJ cried out. �She even switched cell phones.� Nick groaned. �Call Jessie.� AJ dialed her number. Ring�ring� �Hello?� someone answered. �Is Jessie there?� AJ asked politely, worried about having a stranger picking up her cell phone. �Um, no she�s sleeping right now. May I ask who�s calling?� the stranger asked. �Just a friend. Can you tell her to call her big brother back?� AJ asked. �But she doesn�t have a brother.� �Just tell her that ok?� AJ snapped. �I�m just a bit worried and I don�t wanna take any of your shit, whoever you are.� �I�m her boyfriend �scuse you.� AJ thought about it. �JC?� �Who is this?� �It�s AJ.� �Oh� Hi.� �Do you know if Heather�s over there?� The guys looked at him expectantly. �Um no�� �What do you mean um no?� AJ demanded. �She�s not here AJ.� �Oh,� AJ said, his hopes dropping. �Ok. Thanks.� �Anytime. Oh and AJ?� �What?� �Thank you.� �For what?� AJ asked. �For protecting JJ for me,� JC said softly. �I don�t know what I�d do if she was gone.� �It was no problem, but at least you have an idea of how I feel.� �What? Wait a second�you�love her?� �Yes. I do. Now please. I�d better be going.� Click, the dial tone rang in JC�s ears. |
