| Resentment It was all her fault. She was the one who said she couldn�t stay with him anymore. That with his type of life, they couldn�t raise a family in. Not with the screaming fans everywhere, or him home for only a week or two at a time. So he said he would quit it. But she didn�t want him to come to resent her in the future, for being the one who held him back. He promised her he�d nver resent her, that if he let her go, it would be *N SYNC he would resent. But that all changed. Now after being married to her for 8 years, he wasn�t sure if this was resentment he was feeling towards her or not. He watched her in the rocking chair, rocking their two year old son, the youngest of their three children. Every night, the baby of the family always insisted on his �rocky� before going to sleep. Annie looked up from the toddler to where Justin layed length way of the couch starring at her. She could tell something was bothering him. She made sure to keep the children out of his way that night and put them to bed early. The toddler was the last of them. Once the small child was a sleep, Annie slowly stood up and started carring him upstairs to his room. Justin watched her every movement. Once she reached the stairs he got up and followed her. Before entering her son�s room, toddler opened his eyes. �Rocky,� he mumbled, before closing his eyes again. Annie carried him over to his crib and gently placed him in it, covering him with his favorite blanket. She then brought the side of the crib up, so he couldn�t climb over in the middle of the night. Justin watched the whole time from the doorway, still debating what he felt. He caught Annie by the waist as she went by, exiting the rom. He wrapped his arms around her, resting his chin on top of her head, closing his eyes. �Justin, what�s wrong?� Annie asked, looking up at him. Justin�s eyes immediatly opened when she moved her head. �Nothing, baby,� Justin answered. Annie frowned, knowing he wasn�t being honest with her. She led him to their bedroom, lieing down on the bed. Justin immediatly went and layed down beside her, wrapping his arms around her. He rested his head on her chest, where he could hear the rythemetic sound of her heart beat. He promised her he�d nver resent her, that if he let her go, it would be *N SYNC he would resent. Justin knew then and there he had to keep that vow to her. He�ll never resent her. He would always wonder what would�ve happened if he had never left *N SYNC, wondering what they could have become. But he�d never resent Annie. Never regret the last 8 years with her. Never regret the three beautiful children he had with her. As he clung to her closly, he made a silent prayer for this to never end. |
