Slept With My Best Friend
by Kenovay
When the phonecall came, JC wasn�t asleep. He�d been waiting for it, in fact, pacing nervily, unable to sit still. Since the song had gone up on the website, he�d been expecting this call. He picked his cell up, fumbling, and almost dropped it. �Hello?� He was annoyed when his voice shook.

�Yeah.� Justin�s voice was quiet and sullen. �Did you fucking have to do that?�

JC clenched at the phone. �I� it�s not obvious.�

�I don�t give a shit whether it�s obvious or not. Did you have to do that?�

JC bit his tongue. �No, but� I wrote it back � back then. And I figured, maybe, enough time had passed?�

�You figured wrong, I guess. Hurts like fuck, C.�

A little bit of anger sparked in JC. �I�m glad to hear it. It hurt like fuck to walk in on you and Tony.�

�I� I know. But JC, man, I apologised, like-�
on his knees, frantic, streaming tears �and we � me and you - weren�t serious.�

A muscle jumped in JC�s jaw. �No. Of course not.� His voice was flat.

�C?� Justin�s voice sounded small. �I� people will assume it�s about Wade and Britney, right?�

�Obviously.�

�Yeah�� Justin�s voice trailed off. �C � we weren�t serious, were we?�

�Well how would you know, Justin? You never asked me, did you?� JC put the phone down, and cried himself to sleep.
