Chapter 18
2 weeks later
"Are they here yet?" Mackenzie asked Sam as she paced around her dressing room.
"Not yet but they'll be here any moment." Sam said reassuringly
"Kenzie," an intern said as she knocked on the open door to the dressing room, "you're on in 5 with the guys. They just called and said that they are right outside so everything is fine."
Mackenzie took a deep breath. It was her second time being on TRL only today she was more famous and here to premiere her new video with Nsync. If they could get there on time.
"Before I introduce my next guest we have a few close calls for today." Carson said trying to stall the audience.
Mackenzie stood backstage nervously waiting for the guys to come when she saw a commotion from behind. In the midst of all the people she could see the guys quickly putting on earpieces and running over in her direction. "What too you so long?" she asked Lance as she hugged him.
"There...there are so many...many people outside...and...and we had to run past them all...to...to get by." he said out of breath.
"Ok, these next group of guys have topped the music world and this girl is right along side of them....Nsync and Kenzie Hope!" Carson said as the studio audience started screaming and cheering.
"Hey! What�s up Carson!" Kenzie said as she hugged him and stepped aside when the other guys said hello.
"Now before we start this I have one thing to say to you, Kenzie." Carson said into his mic, "No more walks!! You scared the...crap out of us last time."
Mackenzie laughed and smiled, "Yeah, I haven't been on a walk since! I have walk phobia." she said joking. "But I'm doing great now and I want to thank all the people who supported me and sent me cards and things. It was very sweet." she looked over at Justin when she noticed he was starring at her. She hadn't really talked to him since they left the airport two weeks ago and as much as she didn't want to admit it she missed him. She missed being able to hear his voice or see his smile.
"Kenz, we are about to go back live." Carson said waving his hand in her face.
She blushed but before she could say anything Carson began asking the guys questions.
"What's it like to be around 5 guys all the time, Kenzie. Is there any disgusting habits they have that you want to share with the world?"
"Umm...not really." Kenzie said looking at the guys.
"There has to be something." Carson pleaded
"She knows that if she says anything we'll beat her." Chris said sarcastically
"You beat me?" Kenzie asked joking, "I will say that they all burp a lot...which is really disgusting but..."
"Come on, Kenz. Don't do that to us!" Lance said blushing.
"BUT most of the time they are perfect gentleman. What you see it what you get with these boys."
"Well, do you guys want to introduce the new video?" Carson asked about 10 minutes later.
"Sure!" JC said, " I think Kenzie should."
"Ok then. Here it is the world premiere of "One Sweet Day"." Mackenzie said as the video started to play.

(Authors Note: I know this was by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men but work with me here! This is fiction!! Just think all the low parts in the background are Lance!!  I'm describing a video too but it isn't the one Mariah did for this song. This video was made up by me!)

The camera showed Mackenzie placing a flower on a grave with her mothers name on it as the beginning music began to play. The video flashed over to Justin who was in the same cemetery beginning to stand up in front of a grave with the name Timberlake written on it. He looked down and started to sing before walking towards Mackenzie still singing. As he starts to sing the second line JC, Lance, Joey and Chris come over to him and try to cheer him up. They see Mackenzie and look at each other knowingly.
Justin:
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away

The camera focused back on Mackenzie who was sitting on a bench nearby looking sad. The guys come up to her and point to Justin who is a little ways away. She smiles slightly and shakes her head no but they push  her near to him.
Mackenzie:
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

They all are together and Mackenzie and Justin are both looking at each other while the chorus is being sung.
Chorus:
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

The camera shows Mackenzie by herself at her mother�s grave placing a flower on it. The shot freezes and turns to a picture that Mackenzie is holding in her hand. Justin comes from behind her and holds her hands while pulling her into the recording booth. He walks up to the mic and starts singing.
Justin:
Darling, I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared

Chorus begins as they all cheer Mackenzie up while singing. The rest of the song continues the same way.
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

JC:
Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day

Mackenzie:
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

All:
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Mackenzie looks at the picture again and Justin takes he hand as they sing together:
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say

When the video was finished playing Carson thanked them all for being there and congratulated them on a great video. They were all signing autographs when Mackenzie�s phone rang.
�Excuse me.� She said to a fan before picking up he cell phone. �Hello?�
�I knew I couldn�t trust you when it came to making a decent video.� Mr. Martins said through the phone. �It�s time to so what I should have done a long time ago. STAY THERE!� he yelled.
The anger in his voice scared Mackenzie and her faced completely showed it. �Kenzie, what�s wrong?� JC asked as he handed a young girl her pen back.
�I got to get out of here. I have to go.� She said running towards Jenna.
