"Where's Lance?"
Joey didn't move from the TV. "I dunno."
Justin stalked to the TV and stood in front of it, towering over Joey. "WHERE IS LANCE?"
"Dude, chill. There somewhere." He pointed off to the side of the large room.
Justin ran over to where he spotted Lance's spiked blonde hair.
Joey rolled his eyes and went back to the TV, shouting. "You're Welcome!"
"Where's patty?" Justin interrupted Lance who was talking to some people.
"Um, I don't know."
"Lance, where the fuck is your girlfriend?"
Lance and the people he were talking to's eyes widened at Justin's words. Lance spoke softly. "Dude, chill. Last time I saw her she was going to Kraft services."
By then Justin was gone. Joey came up behind Lance and asked. "What did he want?"
"Patty."
"What's his problem he was like a zombie in that conference and now he is like a mad man."
Lance shook his head and shrugged. "Who knows."
Joey joined Lance's circle of friends. "Hey, did you get to see that dude singing before the conference?"
"Oh yeah, I heard about it." One of the girls that were standing there said.
Joey chuckled. "Yeah, you should have seen the girl he was to. She looked so embarrassed."
--------
Patty shrieked when she saw Justin barreling at her at 100 mph. She sat down her can drink and plate just in time before he came to a halt a foot away from her. He bent over and caught his breath. "Patty, oh god...hold on..."
Her eyebrows raised and she looked around at the people that were staring them like they were crazy in the food line. "What is your problem?"
"Talk, now...come with me." Justin pulled on her arm and she snatched it back.
"Uh, can't you see I'm eating."
Justin didn't let her go that easily and before she knew it, She was basically being carried away. "Hey, watch it."
He shut the door to a small empty trailer and pointed to a chair.
Patty sat in the chair giving him a strange look. "What is your deal Justin?"
"She's here." He began to pace.
"Who?"
HE turned to her and gave her a look that said 'you should know who.' "SHE IS."
She really didn't see what the big deal was. "So, she's here early. Shouldn't you be happy Britney is here."
"No, not Britney...HER!!!!" HE shouted and the silence after it made his voice echo.
Patty got on the edge of her seat and questioned, "Who is HER? Wait, ARE YOU CHEATING ON -"
Justin sighed. "No...Elizabeth is here."
"Who the hell is Elizabeth?" Patty sat back and thought about who this could be.
"3 years ago, ain't no stoppin' tour, interne-"
She jumped out of her chair. "OH MY GOD, INTERNET CHICK?"
Justin sat down in Patty's vacant chair and rubbed his forehead. "Yeah...she's here."
"Oh my god, I wanna see her."
He shook his head furiously. That could not happen. "No, she doesn't know we are here. I don't think."
"Wait, what's going on." Patty had the suspicion there was a lot more to this story. She leaned against the post in the trailer and narrowed her eyes in on him.
"Her boyfriend is Trevor Hilton the dude we met today." Justin said with disgust.
"Ooo, the tall dark handsome boy we met before checking in."
"Sure...anyway, I just saw him singing to her on stage for her birthday."
Patty smiled and cooed. "awwww, how sweet."
"Not really." He mumbled.
"What's your deal juju?"
"She's HERE! She's not supposed to be HERE! " He exclaimed, through his hands in the air and letting them fall back against his face, covering it.
"What ever happened between you two anyway..."
"Uhh..."
Patty sucked the air between her teeth at the sound of his stutter. "Justin...I know that guilty look by heart."
"I ignored her." HE said with a blank look.
"Huh?"
He sighed like he didn't want to tell the story. "After that day together, I ignored her. I just couldn't deal with it Patty. I couldn't have feelings for someone that was somewhere I wasn't half the time. And when I kissed her I felt all messed up. I was supposed to be with Britney. I kinda cheated on her. I felt bad. So I just dropped her..."
After a few minute Patty whispered. "That's so WRONG, Justin."
"I had to do-"
She interrupted him and her fingertips touched her lips in mild shock. "Oh my god, I bet she was crushed. Did you ever think of how SHE would feel?"
"Well, no..not really."
She shook her head in disbelief. "What if someone you had become really good friends with just decided to never talk to you or get in contact with you..EVER again. I bet she felt horrible."
Justin felt himself get sick by those words. "Oh god..I didn't realize."
"I bet she felt like shit. Especially with it coming from a guy like you. Damn, she spends a day with Mr. Popular and then he never wants to speak to her again. I bet she feels like its all her fault."
A minute had passed when Justin ran his hands through his short hair that was growing back and sighed. "Oh my god, I'm Satan's son."
"No, you aren't his son. Maybe his nephew, but not son."
Justin glared at Patty's attempt at a joke. "Just shut up Patty. Shut up."
"There you are." Lance called, stepping up into the trailer. He smiled at his girlfriend.
"What?" She asked.
He turned his eyes on to Justin. "Britney just checked in, so Johnny says."
"Shit." He grumbled.
Patty nodded. "Yup, you are definitely in that."
-------
"I cannot believe you."
"What?"
Liz pressed 6 for the floor they were on. "That was sooo embarrassing."
Trevor pleaded with her. "Come on Liz, its been an hour, GET OVER IT."
"I cant."
He leaned against the back of the elevator and sighed. "I thought it was sweet."
"And it was." She nudged him playfully.
Trevor stopped the elevator on the 3rd floor before it got there and said, "Hey, I'm going to go check out the weight room they have here, you wanna come?"
"I thought you would know. This is YOUR hotel."
HE rolled his eyes at her, and held the doors open. "Shut up. Come or no?"
"I'll go upstairs, I wanna take a bubble bath."
"Oo, I'll make this trip short. Make enough bubbles for two." He grinned and stepped out on the 3rd floor where the weight room was in the hotel.
"Oh, you know I will." He winked at her, before turning around and heading down the hallway.
Liz reached over to press the door close button but a voice called out. "Goin up?"
She looked up to see a rather large white man smiling at her. "Yeah." She held the door open for him and a short girl followed him with a baseball cap on her head and a ponytail through the loop in the back of the hat. The girl leaned over, her hat shadowing her face and pressed 7 for the top floor where one of the pools were. It was on the roof.
"When is Jay and them coming back?" The bigger man asked the short girl. Whenever the name Jay was said, Liz couldn't help but have her ears pick up. She had nothing better to do so she ease dropped on their conversation.
"Um, I don't know. I need to call him...but I'll wait til we get up to the pool."
"This will be a nice relaxation for you two."
"Oh I know. Everyone keeps saying that this is bringing us back to where we met or whatever. He's making a big deal out of it as well." Liz's eyes widened slightly when she thought she got a glimpse of the girl's smile. She knew that smile, a little too well from TV and magazines.
"Well that's Justin Timberlake for ya."
Liz's mouth dropped at what the bigger man who she guessed now was a bodyguard had said.
"Yup, that's my babe."
The elevator dinged on the 6th floor and Elizabeth had to shake her head to remember to get off. "Excuse me..." Her voice was extremely quiet.
Britney smiled and moved to the side as Liz stepped out. "Sure. So, I was talking to Carlos today and you know how he says my name."
"Oh yeah, BritNAY. God that's annoying." The bodyguard chuckled.
"Yeah, anyway, so we were talking about the new single and I..."
The doors closed and the conversation was taken away from Elizabeth's hearing. She paused, gasped and then screamed. "Hoooollllyyyyy SHIT!"
"Are you ok?" She turned to see one of the maids about to go into a room and clean it.
"That-That...that was Britney Spears." She stuttered and pointed to the elevator.
The maid just smiled. "Big fan? Listen, honey. It's ok. I use to be a huge fan of Madonna back in my day, but now well, she's kinda scary."
"No, you don't understand. That was BRITNEY SPEARS!" She screamed at the poor woman.
"Umm, whatever Hun." She rolled her eyes and went into the room she was working at.
She stayed right there outside the elevator, in shock. Soon the elevators dinged again and Trevor came out and wrapped his arms around the girl he found there. "Hey baby, whatcha waiting for?"
She didn't move, speak, or breathe. "Liz, you ok? You look like you just saw a ghost."
Finally Liz turned in his arms and stared at him, wide eyed. "Well that's one way to put it."
"What's wrong." His eyebrows connected with worry.
After a good while she blurted out, "Will you have sex with me right now?"
His hand fell to her forehead. "Are you ok?"
"Come on." She pulled on his arm and stalked towards their room.
"Elizabeth, what is it?"
She answered blunted. "I need my mind to be taken off some things, and well, sex with you is about the only thing I think that can cure it."
"Umm, oh...Kay?" He decided not to fight her on this.
But before they got to their room she stopped and he came crashing into his back. She put her hands on her hips and bit her lip. "Wait, sex with you would just complicate things.... Hmm, I'm going to go work out."
"But you aren't dressed for...working out." By the time he had gotten that out, she was at the elevators.
