| �Look, you need to stop. People are going to start asking questions. Questions I don�t want to hear.� �Why are you so paranoid? It�s life. Everybody uses everybody, it�s the way things are.� �Justin, listen to yourself. You�re asking your sister to get in with a rival band that way you can wipe them out.� I glanced around us, hoping no one was listening to me and him in the store. �Justin, forget it. We�ve been down this road before. I like the Boys. I�m not going to do that to them. I�m sorry if you think I will.� �Theresa, you�re my sister. Your priority lies to me, not them.� �That�s bull shit. My priority lies only to myself. Just because you got in with another rival band, I don�t have to do jack shit. Sorry bro, you are on your own. And you know, no girl is going to go for that fucked up plan.� �Not even if you got paid.� �Justin Randall Timberlake! How can you think so low of me?� �Theresa, how can you like them over us?� �Do you really want me to list the reasons?� �Yes, I do.� �Fine than. One they�re not stuck up, two, they can sing and they look good and I know I can�t say the same for �Nsync, and the third reason, I still love one of them. Bye Justin.� With that, I turned and left the store. I looked around me, watching all the stars eating and having a good time. It was a musical award show and the people hosting it had dinner ready for all of us. �Well, now Theresa, there he is, go and talk to him. Be friendly, after all, it�s been a while since he�s seen you, he can�t possibly hate you, right? After all, you two truly loved one another,� I told myself. I brushed my hair back and held my purse tighter and walked over to the Boys�s table. �Hey guys. How are you tonight?� �Just fine. No autographs though, sorry,� Brian said. �No man, she�s not a fan. Actually, she�s an enemy,� AJ commented. I just glanced at him. �Maybe this wasn�t a good idea.� �Who is she?� Kevin asked. �She�s Justin�s younger sister,� Nick answered. I watched as everyone looked at him and than at me. �You grew up. You look very nice Theresa.� �Thank you Nick. You don�t look so bad either.� �Okay, you�re here, where�s Justin?� �I�m not sure. I didn�t come here with him. I came just to talk to you.� �Our talking days are done.� �Nick�� �Good evening Theresa.� With that, he got up, buttoned his coat, and left the table. �The same Theresa he was dating when we first started?� Brian asked, staring at me. I glanced at him, suddenly not liking this situation. �And the same one he was dating when �Nsync came out?� Kevin asked. Our eyes locked and I flinched. �And the same Theresa who lied and broke his heart?� Howie finally asked. My eyes opened wide as I stared at him. �I�wait�no�� �The one and only. I told you she was evil,� AJ said. I stood there, finally wiping the tears away and stared at each one of them. �I see you know a lot about what happened. I was wrong though. I should have used you, in every way I could have. I thought you guys had class, yet I suppose making people feel like shit is just the way you guys work. I also see you don�t know a lot about me and you don�t know a lot about the FACTS and you�re willing to make a judgment right away. For that, you all have a lot of nerve.� I turned around and ran to the bathroom. Justin watched the whole scene and went over to the table. �Well, it�s nice to see you guys again.� �What the fuck do you want Justin?� Nick asked. �You know, you guys just really hurt my sister�� �She has feelings?� AJ asked. �Shut the fuck up McLean, before I ram those glasses up your ass. As I was saying, you hurt her, but what are your grounds for doing that?� �She hurt Nick,� Brian said. �No, not really. I mean, she didn�t want to. Nick, there was something missing from her story. And now, six years later, I�m telling you�thinking about this, it�s almost sad. Why she�s�never mind. She�s not quite my full sister. The reason she left was because she was forced to. Her dad moved her because her mother was abusing her. Shortly after she left, our parents got married and everything fell into place.� �She could have told me something?� �When Nick? When she told you she had to leave, you were yelling at her, calling her a liar, that she only used you. And in all honesty, where did you get those thoughts from?� �No one.� �Oh, that�s right, Jane didn�t like her. Is that where?� �Does it really matter?� �Yes, Nick, it does. She loves you, has loved you. You think it was easy for her to say �Nick, I have to move, but I can�t explain why because I don�t want you to love me any less than you do. I don�t want you to feel sorry for me.� You know what Carter, fuck you man. She�s way to good �You know, they say you never forget your first love.� �Meaning what?� �I know this is going to sound odd, but I still love you.� �Sure Nick.� �I do.� I slowly turned around and stared at him. He slowly ran his hand through my hair. �Please say you�ll forgive me for being so stupid.� I stared into those ocean blue eyes and smiled.for you anyways. You let her go, remember that.� I wiped the tears away as the wind kept blowing, pulling my hair in my face. I stared out over the horizon, watching the cities lights. �What are you thinking about?� �What concern is it of yours?� �Justin just told us what happened.� �And? I care because?� �Why didn�t you tell me?� I sighed, not knowing what to say. �When? You were yelling all the time. Sides, every time you voice raised, I just went into an invisible mood. I was so tired of people yelling at me.� I heard him move closer and I could smell him. He hadn�t changed in six years. �You�re forgiven. I love you Nicky.� He smiled and his lips softly brushed mine. He pulled me against his chest and I sighed, happy at last. �I love you. And Always Will.� |
