chapter 8*

�Danielle, go get the door!� Kimberly said from her room.

�Okay!� Danielle said walking to the door.

Beads of sweat were rolling down her face, she had just came upstairs from working out in the basement. She opened the door as she wiped her face with a towel.

�Hey guys.� She said.

�Hey Danielle.� Chris said.

�What�s up?�

�Nothing much, can we come in?� Joey asked.

�Sure.�

�What have you been doing? You look a little tired?� JC asked.

She laughed.

�I was working out downstairs.� She said.

They all went and sat down on the leather couches in the living room. Danielle walked over to Kimberly�s room and peeked her head into the room.

�Hey Kimberly the guys are here.� Danielle said.

�All of them?�

�Yep.�

�I�ll just stay in here then.�

Danielle walked into the room.

�C�mon Kim, you got to talk to him sometime.�

�I know. But not now.� Kimberly said.

�Yes now.� Danielle dragged Kimberly out of her room.

They walked into the living room.

�Hello guys.� Danielle said.

�Hey.� They all said.

�Hi Kimberly nice of you to join us.� Joey said.

�Yeah.� She said eyeing Justin.

He was staring at her since she walked in the room.

�So why are you guys even over here?� said Kimberly sarcastically.

Danielle elbowed her.

�OW!�

�Sorry, like she was saying, why are you guys here? Not being sarcastic.�

�We came to ask if you have decided yet, if you�re going to the awards with us?� Chris asked.

�Um�we�ve decided not to go.� Danielle said looking at Kimberly.

�Why not?� They all whined.

�Because�we feel that it will confuse everyone.�

�How will it confuse everyone?� JC asked.

�Everyone will think one of us is going out with one of you, and people assume a lot of things that aren�t true.� Kimberly blurted out.

�No ones going to think you�re going out with one of us.� Justin said.

�Oh yes they will, and if we aren�t going with one of you then what are we going to do? Stand in the background like a bunch of idiots?� Kimberly said getting pissed.

�NO! IT WON�T HAPPEN!�

�Well it doesn�t matter, because we don�t want to go anyway.� Danielle said.

�Why don�t you want to go?� Lance asked.

�Because we don�t, okay?�

�FINE! Good, don�t go! We need our space anyway. For the past month we�ve been worried about you two and not concentrating on our own careers, when we could be.� Lance said.

�Why is that our fault for something you guys have been doing?� Kimberly asked.

They didn�t say anything.

�That�s what I thought. Well if you guys need space fine with us. We could care less.� Danielle said.

�And all that you guys have been doing is drooling all over us, acting like a bunch of pimp daddies trying to get your mack on, when it isn�t going to happen.� Kimberly said.

�If you guys want your fucking space then go play your games with some other �BITCHES� of yours!�

Danielle shouted �LEAVE!�

They just stood there in shock.

�SHE SAID LEAVE! GO! BYE BYE BYE!�

All the guys turned and walked out the door.

3 days later

Danielle was in her room watching a movie when the phone rang.

�Hello?� she said picking up the phone.

�Hey Danielle, it�s JC.�

�What do you want?� she asked still pissed.

�Can I please talk to you for a few minutes?�

�NO.�

JC sighed and took a deep breath.

�Danielle, I had nothing to do with what happened�I�m sorry.�

�I don�t care.�

�Please, just let me explain.�

�NO.� Danielle slammed that phone down on the receiver.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Later that day Danielle fell asleep.

Lance told the guys that he was going to be back in a few minutes.

�I�m going to get a couple CDs.�

He walked out the front door and got into his car. Lance drove up the hill that led to the highway. He stopped at the stop sign and slowly turned onto the road. An SUV sped quickly along the road not paying attention. The car slammed into Lance�s car. His car spun out of control and slid into a nearby ditch.

Danielle woke up in a deep sweat and realized what she had just dreamt.

�OMG!� she grabbed the phone and dialed the guys phone number.

Chris picked up.

�Hello?�

�Where�s Lance? Is he there?� she asked panicked.

�He ran to the CD store real quick.�

�SHIT. NNNNOOOOOOO.� Danielle hung up.

She ran downstairs and into Kimberly�s room.

Kimberly was sound asleep.

�SHIT KIMBERLY�WAKE UP.� Yelled Danielle shaking her.

�What�WHAT?�

Kimberly sat up quickly.

�LAN�LANCE�HE�GOT�� Danielle could barely breath.

�I�HAD�A DREM�LANCE.� She was panicking.

�You had a dream that Lance got in a car crash?�

Danielle nodded.

�How�d you know?�

�Because I had the same dream.�

They heard sirens.

Both of their eyes widened.

�OH MY GOSH!� yelled Kimberly.

Danielle and Kimberly ran outside frantically trying to think of what to do.

The four guys were walking over to see if everything was okay.

�You guys alright?� Joey asked.

�NO! DON�T YOU HEAR THE SIRENS?� yelled Kimberly.

�Yeah, they go off all the time.�

�NO YOU DON�T GET IT.�

�Kimberly�get in the car�GET IN THE FUCKING CAR.� Danielle screamed.

�GET IN THE CAR.� Kimberly yelled at the guys.

They all looked at her strangely, then got in.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Danielle backed up quickly.

�WHOA! Slow down girly. What�s wrong?� Said JC holding onto the seat.

Danielle sped up the street and stopped at the stop sign.

�That�s what�s fucking wrong.� Danielle pointed at Lance�s smashed car in the ditch.

Everything seemed to stop; it was like slow motion.

The emotion in the guy�s faces was incredible.

Justin opened the door and tried to run to the scene.

�Excuse me sir, but you�re going to have to step back.� Said and officer blocking his way.

�FUCK.� He screamed.

The rest of the guys got out of the car.

�HOW THE FUCK DID YOU TWO KNOW?� he screamed while crying.

They just stood there silently.

�TELL US�NOW.� Yelled Chris.

�DANIELLE, KIMBERLY FUCKING TELL US HOW YOU KNEW!� JC yelled too.

Joey was silent knowing exactly how they knew.

�YOU KNOW WHAT. FUCK YOU 3, YOU DON�T NEED TO KNOW.� Danielle yelled back.

�IT DOESN�T MATTER.�

�YES IT DOES, YOU KNEW HOW THIS HAPPENED. HOW?� screamed Chris.

�FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU.� Yelled Kimberly.

Danielle and Kimberly walked to the car and got in.

Danielle started the car while looking at Joey and giving him and sympathetic look.
