TooLateorTooSoon

Justin�s POV

I lie down in my bed everyday after school. Lying on my back looking at the ceiling at the poster of my true love staring back at me. I wish every god given second that you would fall down on top of me and let me hold you in my arms.

�Oh, JC, please fall from the ceiling that holds you away from me! Please!�

I look at my watch and see that I am late for supper and finishing up my homework for Algebra class. I run downstairs and try to sneak into my seat at the table while mom and dad are in the kitchen finishing up supper. I am too late.

�Where have you been? You are a half an hour late.�, mom hollers after hearing my chair squeak.

�Uh�I was finishing up my English homework, so that all I had to was finish my Algebra to do after dinner. I am sorry, I should have told you what I was doing earlier.�

�Damn chair!�, I said to myself.

All three of us eat together, and I went back upstairs and finished my homework. Following my math problems, I went back to my love solution. I could look at him 24-7-365.

His eyes sparkle like the stars burning high in the night sky. I want to run my fingers through his shiny black hair. Kissing his ruby red lips would make me forget about the world revolving around me. I want to caress his baby fine and silky smooth skin.

I awake myself from the daze and realize that it is going on midnight, which is way past my bedtime. I take my nightly shower and go onto bed to dream of JC again. I can never stop thinking about him.

Alarm clock rings at 6:30 am, only to wake me up to look at JC again before I dress for the long awaiting school day. I stare at him and he stares back at me, only for ten minutes. I arise, get dressed and head off to school.

Upon arriving at school, I sit down at the place where we meet every morning before homeroom to discuss what we had done the night before. I never told him that I stare at his picture all night. I don�t know what he would do if I told him that I did that. I would probably make a remark like, �That is very sweet of you to think of me that way, but you could use your time more wisely�.

Oh, here he comes now.

Justin�s views ends

�Hi, Justin! Are ready for that test in English today over Romeo and Juliet?�

�Hellllooo! Whhhatt test? There is a test today? I forgot all about it.�

�Yes! It is over one of the most finely written plays of Shakespeare. He is one of my favorite poets/writers.�, informed JC.

�I could care less for Shakespeare! I am not too much into that old poetic stuff.�

�You are entitled to your own opinion. Even though I don�t agree with you, I am not going to argue with you. I am just going to act as if you didn�t say anything.�

�That is good, because I am not going to argue with you either. It just ain�t happenin��.

�Great!�, boasted JC.

�Great!�, grunted Justin as he slightly shoved JC.

�Don�t push me!�, yelled JC as he returned the favor to Justin.

�Don�t push me either!� Justin stood up to look down at JC, but JC stood up as soon as Justin left his seat.

They both stared each other in the eyes, and yelling at each other. Having choice words against with each other, they turn too leave and go to homeroom.

�I am never talking to you ever again!�, JC screamed angrily towards Justin while walking away and pointing his finger at him.

Justin almost lost it. He thought that he had lost his true love forever.

He replied back yelling to JC, �Good, because I wasn�t going to talk to you anyways!� Justin runs to homeroom and takes his seat. Throughout the rest of the day, they both think about the other one. Justin and JC think to themselves, �Why did I yell at him? I shouldn�t have yelled at him over something so small. I will call him tonight when I get home from school.�

Justin gets home and lies on his bed, and looks at JC�s picture on the ceiling. �I hate myself for telling him the things that I told him.�

Just as Justin was getting ready to pick up the phone to call JC back to tell him that he was sorry, and tell him his true feelings for him, the phone rang. Justin answered the phone half startled to death.

�Hello!�, Justin answered.

�Hello, Justin!�

�Mrs. Chasez? Is something wrong? Usually a parent doesn�t call their kids best friends unless there is a problem.�

�You�re right, there is something wrong!�, sniffed Karen.

�What is wrong? What happened?�, asked Justin getting worked up and worried about JC.

�Justin, I don�t know how to tell you this. There has been an accident. JC was on his way home from school, and he was in a car accident.�

�Oh My God! No! This can�t be real! This can�t be true! No! No!�

�He was hurt pretty bad. He is in ICU at the hospital. Do you need a ride to go see him?�

�Yes, I would appreciate it. I don�t think that I can drive this way.�

�Ok, I will be over in a few.�

Ok, but will they will let me in, with me not being family, you know?�

�Yeah, I will talk to them. I know how close you two are.�

�You do?�

�Yeah, I do. That is ok though. I have been surrounded by it all of my life. Anyways, I will tell them that you are half-brothers, because they will suspect something with your last names not being the same.�

�Okay, I will see you in a few. I am going to tell mom and dad what is going on, and I will be waiting.�

�Alright, see you later.�

�Hey, wait a second!�

�Yes, Justin?�

�Thanks�Mom! Bye!�

�Your welcome, son. Bye!�

Justin goes downstairs to tell his parents what happened to JC, and he waits on Mrs. Chasez. Karen arrives and they head to the hospital. Upon arriving, Justin has this weird feeling come over him. He is afraid that something bad has happened.

Karen goes onto the room, and Justin goes to the bathroom to get a hold of himself before seeing JC. Justin waits about ten minutes before going to see his best friend/true love. Justin didn�t know what room he was in so he had to stop at the desk to ask what room he is in.

�Madam, what room is JC Chasez in?�

�Okay, let me see here. Ummm�.ok. I am sorry to tell you this, but JC didn�t make it.�

Justin runs off to the bathroom again. He starts to cry, scream, and ask questions.

�Why didn�t I tell him how much I loved him? Why?�, he asks himself. He talks and asks himself questions.

Later on at the desk, Karen was signing JC out of the hospital. The doctors were letting him go home. Apparently, there was a mix up with the names earlier when Justin had asked. The nurse thought that he was asking for Jace Chavez. Karen had noticed that Justin had been in the bathroom for way too long, and had Mr. Chasez to go check on him.

JC looks up at his mother and said, �No, I will go check on him. We have something to work out.� He rolled his way to the bathroom in the wheelchair that he had to use to get around. He got to the door and let out a big deep breath, �Ok, JC. You can do this.�

Pushing the door open, he sees Justin crouched up in the corner, with his knees up to his chest, and crying.

�JC! Is that you?�, Justin says wiping a tear from his eye.

�Yes, it�s me.�

�I thought that you had died. That is what the lady at the desk had told me.�

�No, there was a mix up at the counter with the names. She thought that you had said Jace Chavez. I am ok. Just a couple of broken bones, bruises, and scratches.�

Justin gets up and runs to JC to give him a hug and a kiss. �Oh, I thought that I lost you. Don�t scare me like that again! I am sorry about what happened at school earlier today. I will never fight with you again.�

�You will never lose me. I am sorry too. I shouldn�t have been so pig headed about William Shakespeare and how much I thought about him. I know that everyone is different about what and whom he or she likes. I don�t want to fight with you ever again either.�

Justin and JC look straight into each other�s eyes and at the same time, they say, �I Love You!�

Mr. and Mrs. Chasez sit up front and Justin and JC sat in the back, holding hands and telling each other that they loved them. They carry on about being sorry all the way home.

�JC, I love you! I am so sorry about what happened earlier today! I will never do that again, I promise.�

Justin, I love you too. I am sorry too. I won�t either, and I promise also.�

Each of them gives the other one a kiss on the cheek, only to save the best for later.
