"So you're just leaving me here, all alone?" Destiny said as Ebony got dressed. "Yeah. But you can come if you want to." "No thanks. I'm gonna hang around here wishing Justin would come over." Ebony sighed. "Whatever." There was a knock at the door. "Well, that's probably JC. I'll see you later." "Bye." Destiny said as Ebony opened the door and walked outside. "Wow. Uh, you look great." JC said staring at her. "Thanks." "Well, Joey's waiting for us outside." She smiled as they walked to the elevator. "So, how long are we gonna stay?" Ebony asked. "Depends." "On what?" "Joey." "Why does that matter?" "Well, if he finds a girl who is willing to come back here with him we'll be leaving whenever they do. But if she has a car we can leave whenever." "Oh." she said as the elevator door opened.
"JC, you can leave me and go dance, I won't care." Ebony said as she and JC stood at the bar an hour later. "No, I don't want to leave you all alone." "I won't care, really." "But I don't want to." "Listen, you go and have your fun. I'll have mine by drinking more than I should." "You really don't care?" "No. If I want to dance I'm sure someone in this place will want to." "Well, alright. Have fun." he said walking into the crowd. "Oh I will." she said picking up her mudslide. Joey walked up to her. "Where did JC go?" he asked. "Dancing." "He left you alone?" "Why do you guys act like it's such a big deal? I'm a big girl, I can be left alone." "Well, I figured he'd be all over you tonight." "Well he's not." "Ok. I guess I'll leave you alone." he said walking away. She rolled her eyes and took a sip of her drink.
Destiny laid on her bed staring at the ceiling. There was a knock on her door. "Who is it?" she asked not moving. "It's Justin. Can I come in?" She slowly got up and opened the door. He handed her a bouquet of white, pink tipped carnations. She smiled and threw her arms around his neck. "I love you." he whispered. She let go of him and backed away. "What?" "I love you. And I'm sorry about everything that's happened. I really did mean to break up with her, but I was afraid about what the press would do." "You love me?" "Yes." She smiled and kissed him. "I broke up with her earlier. So, do you forgive me?" he asked. "Yes." she said kissing him again. She let him in and closed the door. "So, you really love me?" "Yes." he said smiling. He kissed her. "And I promise I'll never do anything to hurt you again."
A half an hour later JC walked back over to Ebony. "Hey, Joey found a whore. You ready to go?" "Umm, sure." she said. "Are you ok?" "Yep. Fine." He gave her a weird look. "How much have you had to drink?" "Umm, I don't know. I lost count fifteen minutes ago. Hmm, or was it twenty?" "Ok, it's time for us to leave now." he said taking her hand and leading her outside. JC and Ebony sat in the back, and Joey and his whore sat up front. "Are you sure you're ok?" JC asked. "Yes, I'm fine. Why do you keep on asking me that?" "Because you're worrying me." "Why?" "I don't know. But you just seem very drunk." "Whatever." A few minutes passed. "JC?" Ebony said. "Yeah?" "Have I ever told you how incredibly sexy you are?" "No, I don't believe I've ever heard you say that." "Well, you are." He smiled as they pulled into the parking lot. JC walked Ebony to her room. "Well, I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow." JC said. "Umm, ok." she said. She put her hand on the doorknob but quickly took it back. "What?" JC asked. "Someone's having whoopi in there." JC smiled. "You can come back to my room if you want." "Umm, no thanks." "Where else are you going to go?" She thought about it for a minute. "Well, ok. But I swear to God, nothing will be going on." "Fine." he said as they walked down the hall.
"So, what are we going to do?" Ebony asked as she sat down on his bed. "Umm, watch tv?" "Ok." she turned on the tv to see porn. He ran to the tv and changed the channel. He turned around and laughed. "God JC, you're a pervert." "Yeah, well..." he said sitting down next to her. She started channel surfing. "Damnit, there's nothing on tv." she said throwing the remote down. JC picked it up and turned the tv off. She sighed and fell back. "So, what do you wanna do now?" he asked. "I say we call my room and tell them to quit it so I can go back and go to bed." "But they're having fun. We shouldn't stop them." She closed her eyes. "You could sleep here." he said. "No thanks. I'll just wait for them to get done." "But you look tired." "And there's only one bed in here. So I'll wait to go back to my room." He laid down next to her. "Don't you even think about doing anything." she said not opening her eyes. "I'm not." A few minutes of silence passed and he leaned in and kissed her. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. The phone in JC's room rang and Ebony jumped up. JC sighed and answered it. "Hello." "Hey, you're back! Where's Ebony?" Justin asked. "In here waiting for you two to get done doing whatever." "Well, tell her she can come back." "Alright. Bye." he said. "Bye." He hung up and looked at Ebony. She was sitting at the edge of his bed looking at the wall. "Umm, that was Justin. You can go back to your room now." "Ok. See you later." she said getting up and leaving.
Ebony woke up the next morning with a pounding headache. "Ow." she groaned rolling over and sitting up. "Morning." Destiny said. "What time is it?" "Seven." "Why didn't you wake me up?!?" "Well...... I don't know." "Damnit Destiny!" she yelled running into the bathroom. She took a shower as quickly as she could and got ready to leave. A half an hour later she picked up her stuff and walked outside. "Ebony!" JC yelled. Ebony suddenly remembered what happened in his room the night before. "Oh no." she mumbled as he walked up next to her. "Hey." she said putting a fake smile on her face. "Umm, do you remember anything that happened last night?" "As of just now, yes." "Oh. So, you were drunk?" "Yes, very." "Oh, ok. Well, I guess I'll see you later." "Bye." she said as he walked off. "What was that about?" Destiny asked as Ebony turned around the corner. "Nothing." she said. "Tell me." "We kind of kissed last night." "So? You two do that quite often." "Twice before last night. But whenever he kissed me before it was him kissing me. I kissed him back last night." "Oh. That's all you did, isn't it?" "Yeah." "Good girl."
They got to Indianapolis and went straight to the studio. "Hey babes! You ready to do this?" Mark asked. Ebony rolled her eyes. "Yeah." Destiny said. "Ok. Well, here's the new lyrics and notes and stuff." he said handing them a piece of paper. "And we already have the music recorded. They'll be playing that in a second." Destiny flipped through the papers and Ebony sat down. "So Destiny, what's this I hear about you and Justin Timberlake?" "Umm, we're involved." "This could either be really good, or really bad for your publicity." "What do you mean?" "Well, you're getting publicity with this thing, but little girls aren't going to like you for taking their man." "Fuck little girls." Ebony said under her breath. "Well, do you really think I care what those little girls think?" Destiny said. "You should." Mark said walking out of the room. "I really hate him." Ebony said. "Me too." Destiny said. The music started playing and Ebony shook her head. "This song is a pile of shit." Ebony said. "Really."
They walked into the stadium an hour before the concert started. "Damn, you guys were gone long enough." Chris said. "Yeah." Destiny said walking away. "What's up with her?" "We hate our new song. And there's really no way we can get out of singing it." "I bet we could make them change their minds." "I doubt it. You've never met Mark. He's a stubborn jerk." "I take it you don't like him either." "Not the least bit." He smiled as JC walked over to them. "Hey." JC said. "Hi." Ebony said. Chris looked at Ebony and then at JC. "You guys sure are acting uncomfortable around each other. What did you do last night?" "Not what you're thinking." Ebony said. "Sure. Well, I'm going to leave you two alone only because I think it's funny. Bye." he said walking away. Ebony crossed her arms and looked at the floor. "So, how did your new song thing go?" JC asked. "The song sucks, our agent's a jerk, and we're on the verge of killing him." "Doesn't sound like it went too bad." She smiled. "Why is he a jerk?" he asked. "Well, he calls us babe and hon, and it's really annoying. And one of the first things he said when we got there was about Destiny and Justin. He was saying all this bull shit about how it's not good for our publicity because a lot of people are going to hate us for it." "Oh. Well, is there any way you can get a new agent?" "As of right now, no. We're not big enough to do anything like that." "We could help you." "No. I don't want to use you guys like that." "You wouldn't be using us. We'd just be helping our friends." "No. We can do it ourselves." "But you just said-" "I know." "Ok. I can tell when I should stop trying." A few seconds of silence passed. "Umm, about last night. That was just a kiss, right?" Ebony asked. "Yeah." "It didn't mean anything. I was drunk and everything I said or did should be forgotten." "Ok." "Well, I gotta go." she said turning around and walking away. "Bye." JC said.
The next day Ebony and Destiny ran around the stadium being stupid. "Ok, we could go but some water guns and have a little fun." Ebony said. "Yeah! And we could get some water balloons!" "Yeah!" Ebony said as they ran outside. "Where are you guys going?" Justin asked. "The store." Destiny said. "To get what?" "Something!" An explorer pulled into the parking lot and came to a halt in front of Ebony and Destiny. The horn honked. The window rolled down and a short brown haired girl's head came out. "Get out of my way you hoodlums!!" she yelled waving her fist in the air. "Cailin!!!" Ebony said running up to the car followed by Destiny. She got out of the car and was almost knocked over by Ebony. "It's nice to see you again too. But really, I can't breath." "Sorry." Ebony said backing away. Destiny gave her a hug. "How did you know where we were?" "I'm not a retard like you guys. I got on Nsync's website and found out where you guys were gonna be today." "Oh." Destiny said. "Yeah. Well, I'm gonna park my car. So, I'll be right back." she said getting back into her car.
"This is the unneccisarily huge stage." Ebony said showing Cailin around. "God damn, what kind of show do they put on?" she said looking up. Ebony smiled and started walking backstage. "And this is backstage. You should feel privileged." "Oh, I do." Nsync walked around the corner, staring at Cailin as they walked. Ebony sighed. "Come here and I'll introduce you!" They all walked over and she introduced them. "It's nice to meet you." Lance said kissing her hand. She smiled. "Hey Ebony, could I talk to you for a second?" JC said. "Sure." she said walking away with him. Destiny leaned over to Cailin's ear. "That's the guy that's been chasing after Ebony since we got here." "Really? He's cute."
"What do you want to talk about?" Ebony asked JC when they got out of hearing range from everyone else. "This." he said kissing her. She gently pushed him away. "Don't you even start this again." "Why?" "I'm not doing anything with you. Stop trying." "It's just a kiss. It's not like we're having sex." "I don't care." "You know, when people get drunk they tell the truth." "Oh God, what did I say?" "Oh nothing. Just that you think I'm sexy." She blushed and looked away. He leaned close to her. "And you let me kiss you." "Well.... I was drunk. Didn't I tell you to forget anything I did?" "Yes. But do you really think I would do that?" She rolled her eyes. "No," she said. "Well, my friend is here. So I'm going to go entertain her," she said walking away. "And don't do anything like this again."
Cailin, Destiny, and Ebony sat in their room after the concert talking. "So Destiny, rumor around home says that you are getting a little freaky with a certain Justin Timberlake." "Yeah, so?" "It's true?" "Yeah." "But didn't he go out with Britney Slut?" Destiny laughed. "Yeah. Not anymore though." "She almost beat the shit out of that whore." Ebony said. "Really?" "Yeah. Me and Justin had to pull them away." "You go girl." Cailin said giving Destiny a high five. "I'm thirsty. Do you guys want anything?" Ebony asked standing up. "Mountain dew please!" Cailin said. "Nothing for me." Destiny said. "Loser." Cailin said hitting Destiny's arm. Ebony smiled and walked out the door. She went to the snack room, got the cokes, and walked back to her room. On her way back she stopped by JC's room. She put her ear to the door and backed away quickly.
She walked back to her room, her eyes watering the whole way. "What's wrong?" Destiny asked when she got back in. "Nothing." Ebony said sitting down. "Liar." Cailin said. "Nothing's wrong. There's just something in my eye." "You lyin' ass. What's wrong?" Cailin asked. "I just walked past JC's room, and I heard him in there with a girl." Destiny gasped. "Oh, that's it. Come on, we're gonna get him back." Cailin said taking Ebony's hand and pulling her up. "No! We don't have to do anything!" Ebony said as she was dragged into the hallway. "Shut up, yes we do. Which room is his?" Cailin asked. "I'm not telling." "410." Destiny said. "Gee, thanks!" Ebony said to Destiny. "Ebony, it's about time JC got what's coming to him." Destiny said. They got to his room and Cailin knocked on his door. "JC, sexy baby. Let us in. You were so great last night and we can't wait anymore to have you again. Please let us in, we'll be the best you've ever had. We'll ride you all night and you'll be screaming our names just like you did last night. Come on baby, let us in." Cailin said. They heard someone get slapped and the door flew open. A girl stomped out and JC ran up to the door. "What in the hell?!?" he said. "Don't you even what the hell me you asshole. No one hurts my friends." Cailin said slapping him and walking away. Destiny and Ebony followed her. JC grabbed Ebony's arm and pulled her close to him. "What are you doing?" he asked. "I think I should be the one asking that question." she said jerking her arm away and walking back to her room.
Ebony fell onto the bed and started crying. "Ebony, it's going to be ok. If that asshole did that to you, he doesn't deserve you anyway." Destiny said. "God, I was really starting to like him too." "It'll be ok." Destiny said patting her on the back. Cailin paced back and forth in front of the beds. "I say we go back and kill him." "Cailin, calm down. You hardly even know the guy." "No one does that to my friends! Didn't he do something to you too?" "Well, yeah." "See! We should go kill him!" There was a knock at the door and Cailin answered it. "What do you want?" she asked when she say JC standing there. "Could I please talk to Ebony?" "No." "Why?" "Because I said so." she said trying to close the door. He put his hand on the door so it wouldn't shut. "Umm, excuse me. No. Go away." "I have to talk to her." "No!" "JC! Go away!" Destiny yelled. "Destiny, I have to talk to her." "God JC, you don't ever give up, do you?" Destiny said walking up to the door. "No. I have to talk to her." "Go away!!" Ebony yelled from the bed. "Ebony, please!" "Go away!" He slumped over and walked away.
"Damn JC, you really fucked up this time." Justin said. "I know this." he said putting his head into his pillow. "Is there anyway I can make up for it?" he asked. "I really don't think so." He groaned. "Were you even thinking when you took the girl back with you?" "No." "Obviously." "You don't have to rub it in." "Ok. But I can't help you. You dug yourself into this one, and I can't help you out." he said getting up and walking out. "Lotta help there." JC said to himself sitting up. He sighed and looked into the mirror. "I really am an ass." he said falling back down onto the bed.
"Well, I'll see you guys when you get back home." Cailin said when she was leaving the next morning. "Kay. Bye." Destiny said hugging her. "Bye girl, I'll miss you." Ebony said hugging her. "Bye. And things will get better for ya." Ebony smiled as Cailin got into her car. "Bye!" she said pulling away. "Bye!" they both screamed. She drove away and Ebony sighed. "Back to my shitty life." she said turning around and walking away. "Oh come on, it's not that bad." "Like hell it isn't." Justin walked up behind Destiny and put his arms around her waist. She smiled and kissed him. Ebony sighed. "I'll see you later." she said walking away. She walked into her room ready to take a long bath. "JC, what are you doing in here?" she asked when she saw JC sitting on her bed. "I was waiting for you to get back." "Well I'm back. So you can leave now." "But I need to talk to you." "About what? You've already ruined all chances of having anything with me." "I'm sorry." "Why don't you just give up? Sorry isn't going to do a god damn thing!" "Well I thought I'd at least say it!" "Don't you dare yell at me." she said walking into the bathroom. He got up and stood in the door. "Why don't you just go away? I want to take a nice, long bath. And I plan on reading too, so I don't have to think about you." "I'll say sorry for the rest of my life if that's what it takes for you to forgive me." "Give it up." "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry-" "OK! Stop!" "Do you forgive me?" "I'm never going to forgive you." "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry-" "ALRIGHT! I FORGIVE YOU!!! Now will you leave?!?" He walked over to her, took her hand, and kissed it. "Yes, I'll leave now." he said turning around and walking out. "Damnit! Why is he so god damn sweet?!?"
