   �Kenzie, it�s 6:15 time to get up now.� A voice called from the door of her hotel room. Mackenzie Hope groaned as she stretched in her bed and for a minute she forgot where she was, who she was, and what she was doing. For that minute, she was just Kenzie. But that minute was now over and the reality came back to her. She sighed and stretched one last time before picking out clothes to wear.
     �Kenzie?� her assistant, Jenna, said softly, while coming into the room quietly. �You only have a half hour to shower this morning and then we have to be at the photo shoot. If that�s ok with you, I mean.�
    � Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I�ll be ready. Make sure that by the time I�m done my shower, you have my shake.� She said while walking into the large bathroom.
    �Ok Kenzie � Jenna said smiling, while writing something on a clipboard. �I�ll be back in 30 minutes make sure your ready by then!� Jenna said still writing on the clipboard, making her way to the door.
     Kenzie smiled. She may have seemed stuck up to any other person, but Jenna never minded. Jenna was not only her assistant but she had become her best friend, too. There was never a time that Jenna hadn�t been there for her. Whenever she needed someone to talk to, she was listening. She helped her make it this far in the music business and Kenzie believed she couldn�t have done it with out Jenna.
       Kenzie quickly turned on the water to take her shower. Time to start another hectic day! She thought. Kenzie loved music and this was her dream. She had a single that was just about to be released on Jive records which was a guaranteed hit, but something was missing.

   �Justin get up, man!� Chris pushed his young friend and yelled at him for the 20th time that morning. Justin remained motionless. �That�s it!!� He quickly jumped on the bed and pushed Justin to the floor. �Are ya awake yet?� he asked.
     �What? Oww. Chris what did you do that for?� Justin groaned, slowly getting up from the floor.
      �It�s 6:15 and you gotta get up!! Jeez! Alarms don�t even work anymore.� Chris said walking over to pick out a shirt to wear for the day.
       Justin quickly jumped up, grabbed some clothes and ran towards the bathroom before Chris could make it there. �You shouldn�t have spent all that time waking me up, Chris. You could have been showering, but now you�ll just have to wait!! Hahaha!� He laughed evilly shutting the bathroom door.
       �That�s not fair, Justin!!� he started banging on the door with his fists. �Let me in! I was awake first!!� He hit the door one last time before deciding that it was hopeless. �Ugh! Why can�t I have Lance or JC someone NORMAL as a roommate for once!� he yelled, not caring whether or not Justin had heard him.
       About 15 minutes later Justin casually walked out of the bathroom with a smile on his face. He was wearing only a pair of shorts since he hadn�t had time to grab a shirt and make it to the bathroom before Chris.
       �FINALLY!!� Chris whined, �I take too much crap from you, you know that don�t ya?�
        Justin laughed at his friend. �Yeah, I know. I�m going to meet the guys and get something to eat.�
       �Oh. So first you get in the shower first, and then you leave me here so you can go eat all the food in the whole hotel! Some friend!� Chris said pretending to cry.
       �Aw, poor ol� Chris. I�ll save ya something!� Justin said grabbing his wallet.
      �Oh no! I know you didn�t just call me old? Tell me that you didn�t. Please tell me that you didn�t!� Chris had a determined, yet scary look on his face. He was coming toward Justin
      �I didn�t I swear! I said �ol! Not Old! Chris stop looking at me that way! I didn�t say it�. Chris! Stop!� Justin started backing toward the door but he was too late. In a matter of seconds Chris was on top of him. Soon it turned into a full-fledged wrestling match.

    �Get off, man! STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!� Justin screamed.
     The door to the hotel room burst open and a tall, buff man was standing there followed by to other men looking the same as the first one.
     �Justin, what�s wro-�, he started to stay, �oh it�s just Chris guys, no emergency. Man, Jay, did you ever hear the story about the boy who cried wolf? I could t-�
      �Nick�, Justin said �GET HIM OFF OF ME!!� The words came out slowly and calm but Nick knew that Justin wasn�t kidding.
      "Ok Chris, you�ve had your fun for today! Jeez when I signed on for this job, I thought I�d be protecting you from teenyboppers not one of the guys. Especially not Chris!� Nick said while picking Chris off of Justin.
       �We will finish this when he leaves. He won�t always be there for ya! You can�t always cry for help little boy!� Chris said before entering the bathroom.
       �Thanks Nick.� Justin said while smoothing out the edges of his shirt.
       �That�s what I�m here for, I guess. I�ll be waiting for you outside.� He said while he stepped outside.
       Nick was not only Justin�s bodyguard, but also a friend. He might appear to be intimidating with his muscular arms and standing 6�6, but that was only his appearance. He had been with Justin since the beginning of his career and he had always been a big brother-type figure to Justin. There was never a time where Nick and Justin weren�t together, which caused them to learn everything about each other. They could even finish each other�s sentences.
       Justin yawned sleepily but his day was only beginning. In 15 minutes he�d be off to a meeting with Jive, then he had to be at Regis and Kathy Lee studios at 8:15 am, and after that his day would take off like a jet. Various appearances through out the day would keep his mind occupied. Sound check and a concert would top the night off. This was his dream, touring, recording albums, and being successful. He had reached an ultimate high in his career. Nsync had climbed to the number one spot and he had enjoyed every step of the way, but now he had a feeling of emptiness inside and he had no idea why.
