He never really had a childhood as it was. He had to grow up real fast in his line of business. He wasn�t sure if he regretted it or not. Giving up his youthful days, to sing to a bunch of preteen girls, who dreamed of having his baby. But then again, singing is what he loved. He loved to perform. But still, he had to wonder what would�ve been if he never took a man named Chris Kirkpatric�s offer, to start a singing group, which was latter labled as a �boy band�. Now as he layed in his hotel room, the day after his 21st birthday, he couldn�t help but let these thoughts run through his head as he tried to get to sleep. The night before, his birthday, him and his band mates went out to a club, since he was legally allowed to drink achol now. Not that this was his first taste of beer. Bartenders had never said no or asked for id from him before. Afterall he was �the Justin Timberlake�. Justin squeezed his eyes shut, as memories from the night before filtered into his mind. Making out with some red head that he didn�t even know the name of. Something that his girlfriend, Britney, would kill him for if she ever found out. Luckily Justin�s bandmates were so intoxiated that they didn�t even remember that evening, so they wouldn�t tell her. Thinking of Britney made Justin think that if he never had chosen to be a singer, someone famous, he most likely never would�ve had �the Britney Spears, pop princess�. That�s how they met each other too, being on a tv show together. The Mickey Mouse Club. That seemed so long ago now, to Justin. He had only been 12 when he joined the cast. Justin knew that even though he regretted missing out on his childhood, he didn�t regret the decision to take Chris�s offer to join *N SYNC. That decision gave him four life time best friends, who no matter where their career took them in 10 years, would still be best friends and as close as ever. And best of all, it gave him Britney, who even though his fans hated her, was the love of his life. This was his chosen life. |
