*** Tiffany ran after Diane with her fist flying. Tiffany’s fist slammed into Diane’s face sending her to the floor, but Diane quickly got back on her feet returning the hit. The two girls swung their fists and hands and had a hold of each other’s hair as everyone else tried to stop the fight. Angel, got hit in the face trying to split up the to infuriated girls. Tiffany thrashed about to figure her way out of Diane’s grip. Finally she succeeded and picked up a chair. She threw at Diane but missed her barely. Diane, now frustrated, grabbed a hold of a bowl of chips. She threw the chips at Tiffany and hit her in the side with the bowl. Finally Justin pulled Diane off of Tiffany and Lance pulled Tiffany off of Diane. “Stupid fucking bitch!” Tiffany hollered. “Fuck you, you slut!” Diane yelled back. “You know what you dumb ass little girl, you’re not worth my time. Never hoe!” Tiffany said struggling to get out of Lance’s arms, “Let me go Lance!” Lance let go of Tiffany and she stormed out of the room. Diane turned around to face a quiet Justin. “Asshole!” She said extending her arm and she slapped Justin then took off. ** JC threw his things around the hotel room he was so angry Tiffany lied to him. HE trusted her and she lied. ‘It was just a dare man, just a damn dare!’ He told himself that over and over again, “She still lied.” JC started to search through Tiffany’s stuff. He should turn on extra too. He flipped on the TV and there stood Marysa and Lisa. Lisa was the first to speak up, “Who gave you this information.” Lisa asked her co-worker. “Some very close to the *N Sync “possie” and Ms. Tiffany.” Marysa grinned. “Whatever, well the people want to know.” Lisa said pointing at the camera referring to the audience watching. “Well yesterday I received a phone call on the “dirt line” a young girl called in and said not only is Justin fooling around with Tiffany but he was also kissing on Tiffany’s manager Leanette.” Marysa answered. JC turned off the TV quickly and threw the remote across the room and sunk into the bed. ** “Well happy birthday Leanette.” Liberty smiled, “Guess what!” “What?” Leanette asked excitedly. “You’re fired!” Liberty said. “You can’t do that!” Leanette said. “Yes, I can, see the contract clearly stated you were to have nothing to do with Tiffany’s personal like unless she brought you in it or spread rumors. Well see you did both! You called Extra, and told Marysa Mattews and Lisa Treever that you and Tiffany were involved with Justin. You broke both rules.” Liberty explained. “You have no proof!” Leanette demanded. “Oh but I do.” Liberty said pulling out a recording tape. “And….” Leanette said with one eyebrow up. “And, you clearly state your name in this phone call, stupid thing to do!” Liberty said giving her a glare. ** Tiffany threw open the door, “JC, please, forgive me!” “Tiffany, leave.” JC said trying not to make any contact with her. “Josh….” Tiffany began. “TIFFANY!” JC shouted and sat up. HE felt the tears come to his eyes, “LEAVE!” Tiffany gasping for air because she was crying and running did as she was told. She turned around and shut the door. JC began to cry, his heart was broken. ‘It’s everyone’s fault!’ He thought to himself, ‘Justin’s, Tiffany’s, Diane’s, the bitches on TV, “EVERYONE!” He cried. ** Tiffany sat in front of hers and JC’s hotel room and cried into her lap. She felt so bad, all she wanted was for JC to forgive her, to love her, to be hers again. “Tiff.” Tiffany heard a man’s voice. She looked up to see Justin. “What?” She responded. “Come with me.” Justin demanded. “No.” Tiffany said, “I want to be here if JC changes his mind.” “Tiffany, come on….” Justin said. “Ugh, ten minutes.” Tiffany said taking a hold of Justin’s hand to get up. “Look, I’m sorry for the episode at Leanette’s party, she’s fired you know that right?” Justin said. “Yes of course I know that, it was my idea. You know what Justin, right now I’m not worrying about Leanette or Diane, I’m focused on JC.” Tiffany said. “Why?” Justin asked. “Why do you think?” Tiffany said glaring at him. “Well I….I…..I don’t know I guess I just figured.” Justin began. “Figured since Diane dumped you and JC is pissed at me then me and you could work something out?” Tiffany asked. “Well, ya.” Justin said. “Justin that is so immature of you.” Tiffany said and walked away from Justin. Tiffany walked down the halls quickly in hopes maybe JC would open the door. She finally reached her room and the door was still shut. She placed her back on the door and slid down to the floor. Her body was shaking, she was so mad at herself for trying to get with Justin. Tiffany lied there for a minute and then felt the solidness on her back fade away. Before she fell she caught her balance and looked up. JC looked at her with blood-shot eyes. She stood up. She met his eyes perfectly. JC looked at the floor and then looked back up at Tiffany. “Tell me the truth Tiffany.” JC said, “Have you kissed him more than once?” Tiffany paused she didn’t want to answer, she didn’t want to lie but she didn’t want him to know. Her eyes explored the floor then finally she let her green eyes fly back up to his blue eyes, “Yes.” JC stood there for a moment then let out a deep sigh, “Tiffany, I thought I meant more to you than this." “Josh, you do. You mean so much to me, its just we were having problems in our relationship and I didn’t know how to react to it. The other kiss, you know the dare, it was a dare!” Tiffany pleaded. “Tiffany, can you stay with Liberty tonight, I need to think, and Justin better not come near this room, make sure he knows that.” JC said. Tiffany studied his eyes, she could tell he was hurt, “JC, I don’t want to! I want to talk to you, I want us to be ok.” “Well you know what Tiffany, it’s not going to happen. If you stay here any longer I’m going to go crazy. Looking at you makes me insane.” JC told her. Tiffany deserved that and she knew it, “Alright.” JC watched her walk away then said softly, too soft for Tiffany to hear, “I still love you.” ***
