| After Kayla talked to Chris she ran into the house before he saw the small tears run down her face. "He seems like a good guy too. Of course he is going to act like every other person who rejects me: as a person, friend, or anyother type of companion." She looked at the answering machine and saw it was blinking with 3 messages. "Kayla? Where are you? Well it's Dad and I was just calling to tell you that me and your mom are going out to dinner. We will be home later." "Kayla? Well its Nikki. Me and Lizzy and Brittney (her sisters) have this thing at church to do we won't be home till tommarow. Tell mom and dad. See ya hun!" "Oh great I get the house to myself. Maybe I'll call Sara and Emiliee," Kayla thought to herself. Just then the door bell rang. "Oh goody," Kayla said as she wiped her tears away. "Hello." Kayla opened the door and saw Justin standing. She tried to slam the door, but Justin put his foot in front of the door and held it with his hand. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE,"Kayla screamed"I don't want to hear any more about my dog or anything. I'll leave you and your friends alone. It was just Chris happened to be outside when I was. Just leave me alone. I can't take this anymore!" Kayla finished, sobbing and fell to the ground. "Kayla? I am so sorry that I said those things to you earlier. I didn't mean them. I promise. Shh.. don't cry I am sorry," Justin apologized quietly as her sat on the floor next to her. " Wha-what do y-you mean "you didn't mean it". Of coarse you did. Everyone means it when they say I'm not wanted. I am cursed to be lonely, I know it!" "No Kayla I didn't mean it. I was confused. You see I thought you recognized me and Lance as members of our band. I seriously thought you were being sarcastic about 'seeing new faces around here'. You didn't recognize us. I realize that now." "Recognize you? Band members? Who are you?" "Have you ever heard of *N SYNC?" We are a 5 man group. If you have a little sister you prolly have heard of us" "Your part of *N SYNC!?! I knew you looked familiar. Your Justin, there was Lance, I just met Chris. Who am I missing? Wait.. J.P. and... Joey right?" " Almost. It's JC. He was inside when we met you. If I hurt you in any way I am so sorry. I swear I thought you were either some crazed fan or some "boyband hater." "If I were a boyband hater, my step-sis would kill me. That's how I know who you are." "So there is a fan in this house. Is she here?" "No her and my other sisters went to some church thing. I guess they assumed I didn't want to come, or they just didn't want me to come. Even though I wouldn't have minded" "Well I got an idea. You come to my place and meet the rest of the guys tonight. We'll throw a 'Im sorry, Nice to meet you' party." "Y-you want me to come to your house?!" "Yeah,"Justin said a little confused by the bewildered look on her face. "O-okay. I'll be there around 8. If th-thats okay and all." "Yeah, thats perfect. Just come dressed as you are. It's nothing fancy or anything. Joey is going to cook our first meal in our new house. We have a 5 month break from touring and recording. All Jonnie says is that we have to think of songs for our new album. I gotta go now. Lance is going to wonder if you and your dog killed me or something. I am so sorry again." "Bye,"Kayla said as she shut the door. "I just got invited to their house! They actually don't hate me. They seem like cool guys. What should I wear," Kayla thought to herself as she walked upstairs into the showerd." |
