9:45 P.M.
�Where in the hell is it?!� I shouted as I searched through my 3 suit cases.
�Where�s what?� Justin questioned kneeling down behind me.
�My necklace that my mom got me. I remember taking it off the other day to go swimming, but I dunno where I put it.�
�Shit, that�s not good.� He unzipped my biggest suitcase and began to search for it.
�I�m gonna check the poolroom. I�ll be right back.� I ran downstairs, stopped in the kitchen and quickly skimmed around the counters for anything that could be mine. Nothing
So I went into the living room. Nothing. Finally, the poolroom. It took me an half hour to find what I was looking for but off in a corner I saw a golden gleam. In a hurry I shoved it into m pants picket and ran back upstairs.
�Sarah, come here!� Justin shouted right as I reached the bedroom door.
�What?� I came in with a smile, patting my pocket to signal that I found it.
�What color? Brown or red?� He held up my 2 wigs.
�Hmmm� I might as well try on my new one.� I snatched the red one from his right hand and went into the bathroom to put it on along with some heavy makeup.
�I�m pretty sure that you�ve got all of your stuff.� He came up behind me.
�Yeah me too, thanks for packin it all with me.�
Trying his best to fix the back of my hair he let out a laugh.
�It�s not everyday a guy puts on his girlfriends hair.�
�Ah-well, it�s entertainment at it�s lowest.� I giggled.
Suddenly he got serious and stared at my reflection in the mirror. �You Scared?�
�Like hell.� I replied trying not to choke up.
�Me too.� He sighed and planted a kiss on my cheek.

When the limo pulled up I was heading down stairs with Justin right behind me, both of us full of bags.
�Alright, that�s all of them.� I told the limo driver as he hesitantly closed the trunk.
�I�ll wait until you�re ready ma�am.� He stepped aside.
�K, it�ll only be a moment.� I forced out a cheesy smile, long enough ignore him to return it.
�So�.� I began after I turned to face Justin.
�This is it.� He coughed.
�No, not for forever, just until everything dies down, �member?� I wrapped my arms around his neck, he was so much taller than me that it was difficult to keep my arms up there for too long so after a moment I put them around his waist.
�True, call me everyday.�
�Duh, but guess what?�
�Huh?� He shrugged, rubbing my back.
Changing my gaze from his chest to his eyes I said, �I love you.�
It took his awhile to respond but after a long, intent stare he finally replied.
�I love you too.�
After we kissed I was off to the airport, there was only one problem, what if someone found out who I was when I got there?

Arrival at the LA airport
12:13 A.M.
The second we pulled up about 5 body guards were lined up at the door. It felt like it was a month ago all over again. The same feeling of confusion, emptiness, and loneness. I didn�t want to be there, I wanted to be with Justin. But it was my for my own well-being that I went with Lynn for awhile.
�Sarah, you look�. Much different.� Lynn said in a low tone as she ran up to me to give me a tight hug. Now were inside the airport.
�Uh, thanks. New wig.� I giggled as we pulled away from our hug.
�Come on Alysha, follow me.� She grabbed my hand and we passed right through the security and boarding pass check table and went straight to into the terminal. The body guards were carrying all of my stuff for me so I didn�t have to worry about all that, plus since we were taking a private jet we didn�t have to go through the whole luggage belt routine.
�Alright, let�s go.� Lynn walked through the tunnel that connected to Justin�s private jet.
�This is way too easy.� I commented as we sat down in the plane.
�It�s just because he�s Justin Timberlake, you remember that.� She replied, seeming to like the benefits that were attached to her sons name, and fastened her seatbelt.
�So is Alysha my official new name?� I asked.
�I dunno, if you want it to be, it was just the first thing that popped into my mind.� She replied with a shrug.
�Alright, I like it.� I smiled to myself as we took off, then mumbled a few convincing words to ease my pain... This life really isn�t so bad�Good bye Calli, see ya in a few...
