~The Part of Me I Never Had 16~
We got into the BMW and I turned to him. �What are you guys plotting?�
He looked at me as innocently as he could. �We�re not hiding anything.�
�Nice try Mr. Chasez. I can practically see the gears working inside your head. What�s going on?�
�Nothing, nothing.�
�Ok, ok. I�ll play along with this little charade of yours, but only for tonight. Then I�ll be asking questions.�
�Whatever you say.� He made his way into the parking lot.
************************************************************************************
When we were done, it was already 10:30.
I reached the house and realized that the guys were still there. �Dishes don�t take that long do they?�
I opened the door and people jumped out saying �Surprise!�
I jumped back into JC. �Oh my god.�
The music started playing at an unbearable volume.
�JOSHUA SCOTT CHASEZ, COME WITH ME RIGHT NOW!� I yelled.
People stared as I led him into the other room.
�What�s wrong? I thought you like it, I�m sorry-�
I cut him off with a sweet kiss. He was shocked at first, but returned the kiss. I could see some friends gaping at us. �Let them watch�
I parted from a very confused JC.
�I thought-Weren�t you?-�
�Had ya goin� there for a while didn�t I?� I said smiling at him.
�Nice joke. You embarrassed me in front of all your friends.�
�How did you know who were my friends? And how did you get their numbers?� I asked suspiciously. They did something and I knew it.
�Uh�well, um�ok. I kinda sorta asked Justin to look in your suitcase for your address book.� He looked at me sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.
�He went through my stuff?! How could you do that?�
�It was for a good reason�� he argued, putting his arms around my waist. He gave me an adorable pout.
I put my arms around his waist and said, �Ok JC I forgive you. Just don�t do that again. Un-less there�s an emergency ok?�
�Ok sweetie,� he said before he kissed me.
�Ok good. Now c�mon I gotta introduce you to my friends.� I opened the door and saw 3 of my friends trying to appear nonchalant.
�Nice try guys. I already saw you peeping,� I said half scolding, half joking.
�We had to try.�
I pointed to the tall blonde, �That�s Mikayla. Mikayla, JC.�
�Nice to meet you,� JC greeted as they shook hands.
I pointed to a pretty brunette, �That�s Nida. Nida, JC.�
They repeated what had happened earlier.
I pointed to a shorter girl with dirty blond hair, �That�s Julie. Julie, JC.�
�Hi,� as they shook hands.
�Well, see you guys later. More friends to meet,� I said as I dragged JC off.
For a while we danced, then I went to the kitchen to get something to drink when I bumped into Nida, Mikayla, and Julie.
�So how�d you meet him?� asked Mickey.
�Who?� I asked, even when I knew exactly whom they were talking about.
�JC, silly,� she prompted.
�I met him at an *N Sync show, we hit it off, and we went out a couple times.�
�Ooh, lucky duck,� Julie complimented.
�Really. I�d give anything to be in your shoes,� Nida agreed.
�Even having your best friend die?� I asked bitterly.
�No, of course not. Why?� asked Nida.
�That�s what it cost me. Heather went out with the rest of the guys, and hit her head. She died yesterday,� I explained bitterly.
�Oh. Sorry. I didn�t know,� apologized Julie.
�Anyway,� Mickey interrupted, �I�m surprised Keith hasn�t come out and hit him already.�
�He did. He gagged him, tied him up, and knocked him out.� I looked around to make sure no one was listening.
�Oh my gosh,� they gasped.
�Yeah well, I�ll see you later,� I said as I left.
I turned and I hit somebody. �Oh sorry,� I said as the figure turned.
�Hey Jessie!� said Justin (not N Sync�s) as he pulled me into a hug.
�Hey Justin!�
�So wassup?� he said as he let me go.
�I�m doing fine.�
�You meet superstars who you�ve dreamed of meeting, and all you say is fine?�
�Believe me, the good is very well balanced out by the bad. Heather died and Keith came out and attacked JC. Fine is an overstatement.�
�Ooh. Sounds bad. Sorry I asked.�
�It�s ok.�
�Wanna dance?�
�Sure.�
After a couple dances, I decided to look for JC. I asked another friend named Michael if he knew where he was and he said that JC went outside, so I decided to look.
I opened the door and stopped dead.
