| A few weeks later Joshua, Lance, Justin, Joey and Chris were waiting nervously in the reception waiting to meet Dr Dre for the first time. "I am so nervous." Lance whispered to Joshua. "Me too baby, but I have a feeling this will go great." Joshua whispered back. "So do I." "Gentlemen, he is ready to see you know." The receptionist said. "You ready?" Joshua asked everybody. "Yes." Justin said eager to meet with Dr Dre. Joey and Chris nodded their agreement. "I'm ready." Lance said smiling at his boyfriend. "Then lets go." Joshua said and led them as they walked into Dr Dre's office. "Hello it's great to meet you." Dre welcomed them. "It's an honor to meet you Mr Young." Joshua said shaking his hand. Dre smiled, "Please call me Dre." Justin greeted him turning shy in the face of his idol. Chris and Joey greeted him and Lance shook his hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you sir." "Please have a seat," Dre said as he sat behind his desk, "Now I understand three of you are Shady's kids." "That would be me, I'm the oldest my names Joshua." Joshua said. "And me, I'm Joey." Joey said. "And I would be the youngest, I'm Justin." Justin said. "You look just like him when he was younger." Dre said and smiled as they all blushed [[Just like Shady]] Dre mused. "And that would make you two Kimmie's kids?" Dre asked. Chris nodded, "Yeah, I'm Chris." "I'm Lance." Lance answered. Dre nodded, "Well now lets get down to business, I heard the tape of you and I'm impressed y'all sound great together." "We can also dance," Joshua smiled sheepishly, "We have a friend who is a choreographer and he has taught us." "I'm impressed. Okay first I would like you to sing a song accapella, preferably a ballad and them you can sing what's the song you've got with a dance?" "'Tearin' Up My Heart'." Joshua answered. "Okay let's hear y'all sing." "Okay, you know which one right?" Joshua asked and they nodded, "Okay 1, 2, 3..." Joshua began to sing. "I cross the miles it's funny to me How far you are but how near you seem to be I could talk all night just to hear you breathe I can spend my life just living this dream Your all I'll ever need You give me strength You give me hope You give me Someone to love, someone to hold When I'm in your arms I need you to know I've never been, never been This close" Joey began to sing. "With all the loves I used to know I kept my distance I never let go But in your arms I know when I'm safe 'Cause I've never been held and I've never been kissed in this way Your all I'll ever need, your all I'll ever need" Everybody sung together and Dre was impressed by how well they sounded together. "You give me stength You give me hope You give me Someone to love, someone to hold When I'm in your arms I need you to know I've never been, never been This close" Justin began to sing. "Close enough to see it through Close enough to trust in you Closer now then any words can say And when" Everybody began to sing. "I'm in your arms I need you to know I've never been, never been This close You give me strength You give me hope You give me Someone to love, someone to hold When I'm in your arms I need you to know I've never been, never been Oh no I swear <Justin> I've never been, never been This close <Joshua>" Dre applauded them, "That was excellent you sound great together, no how 'bout you do 'Tearin' Up My Heart." The guys stood up and began to sing and dance. "It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you But when we are apart I feel it too And no matter what I do I feel the pain With or without you" Joshua began his verse while concentrating so he didn't forget a move. "Baby I don't understand Just why we can't be lovers Things are getting out of hand Try too much but baby we can win Let it go If you want me girl let me know I am down on my knees I can't take it anymore" Everyone began to do the chorus concentrating hard so they didn't mess up. "It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you But when we are apart I feel it too And no matter what I do I feel the pain With or withour you" Justin began to sing. "Baby don't misunderstand What I'm trying to tell you In the corner of my mind Baby it feels like we're running out of time Let it go If you want me girl let me know I am down on my knees I can't take it anymore" Everybody sang the chorus. "It's tearin up my heart when I'm with you But when we are apart I feel it too And no matter what I do I feel the pain With or without you" Joshua began to sing. "Tearin' up my heart and soul Were apart I feel it too And no matter what I do I feel the pain With or without you" Now everybody sang the last part of the song. "Tearin' up my heart and soul were apart I feel it too And no matter what I do I feel the pain With or without you It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you But when we are apart I feel it too And no matter what I do I feel the pain With or without you And no matter what I do I feel the pain With or without you" They all looked at Dre to see what his reaction will be.
