CHAPTER 22A

AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES WE HAD COME UP WITH A GREAT
PLAN AND IT WAS SET FOR THE NEXT SHOW WHICH WAS IN A
DAY.ALL THE GUYS WENT TO JOIN JOEY IN THE BACK WHILE
HE CAME OUT SO THAT ME AND JC COULD FILL HIM IN ON
WHATS GOING ON."WELL IF WORST COMES TO WORSE YOU GUYS
WILL STILL BE BEST FRIENDS." JOEY SAID BEFORE GETTING
UP AND HEADING TO HIS BUNK. "I KNOW BUT THATS WHAT IM
AFRAID OF." I SAID TO MYSELF."WELL IF HE REALLY SEES
YOU AS HE SAID HE DID THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY
ABOUT.AND IF HE STILL DOESNT COME AROUND GIVE ME A
CALL." HE SMILED AS HE GOT UP AND WENT TO JOIN THE
GUYS IN THE BACK.
FLASHBACK
"WHY DID YOU STAY MY FRIEND IF I WAS THE ONE WHO HELD
YOU BACK FROM BEING IN THE "IN" CROWD?" HE LOOKED AT
ME AND SAID "because you WERE different AND REAL, YOU
DID YOUR OWN THING AND IM GLAD I AM YOUR FRIEND, BECUZ
I SAW WHAT NO ONE ELSE DID... A BEAUTIFUL PERSON, AND
I HAD YOU ALL TO MYSELF!"HE THEN HUGGED ME REAL TIGHT
AND LEFT HIS ARMS AROUND ME.
END OF FLASBACK
I STARTED TO SMILE AS I THOUGHT ABOUT IT."WELL IF HE
DOESNT COME AROUND THEN THERE WAS ALWAYS JC." I
THOUGHT TO MYSELF. "OH SO YOU DO HAVE A THING FOR ME?"
"HUH?" I FELT MY CHEEKS TURN RED AFTER I SAW WHO IT
WAS. "I..UUHHH.. " I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO SAY. "ARE YOU
SURE YOU WANNA GO THROUGH WITH THIS?CUZ WE CAN JUST
SKIP IT AND GO STRAIGHT TO THIS." JC SAID AS HE SAT
NEXT TO ME AND PUT HIS ARM AROUND ME AND PULLED ME
CLOSER TO HIM.I PUT MY HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER FOR A
MINUTE THEN I BACKED OFF."JC YOU KNOW I HAVE TO GO
THROUGH WITH THE PLAN.YOU KNOW MY HEART BELONGS TO HIM
AND IF HE STOMPS ON IT THEN ILL NEED SOMEONE LIKE YOU
TO HELP ME GET THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS." I SAID
LOOKING DOWN AT THE FLOOR. HE LIFTED MY HEAD UP SO HE
COULD SEE MY FACE AS HE SAID "DONT WORRY EVERYTHING IS
GOING TO GO GREAT FOR YOU PLUS YOULL HAVE JOEY,CHRIS
AND LANCE TO HELP YOU OUT TOO.WELL KNOCK SOME SENSE
INTO THAT BOY FOR YOU." "JC YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL
THAT YOU CANT MAKE SOMEONE LOVE YOU. AND IF HE DOESNT
THEN HE DOESNT. I KNOW IT WILL HURT FOR AWHILE BUT ILL
GET BACK UP AND ILL PICK UP MY CELL PHONE AND ILL DIAL
UP YOUR NUMBER." WE BOTH LAUGHED AND HE GAVE ME A
TIGHT HUG."SO ARE YOU COMING WITH ME TO GO SHOPPING?I
DO NEED TO GET AN OUTFIT JUST FOR THIS EVENT YOU

FOR A BEAUTIFUL GIRL LIKE YOURSELF WHEN YOU NEEDED ME

GRIN.THEN I HEARD MARY'S VOICE."JC!! NO!"THEN THEY

HAPPY SHE WAS ALL GIGGLING AND SMILING.THATS HOW WE
USED TO BE.THEN I SAW THEM LINK ARMS. THATS WHEN I
KNEW I HAD LOST HER TO JC."STUPID, STUPD,STUPID" I
SAID TO MYSELF OUTLOUD AS I WAS PLAYING B-BALL."YOU
DONT NEED TO STATE THE OBVIOUS FOR US WE ALREADY KNOW
THAT." JUSTIN TURNED AROUND TO SEE JOEY STANDING
BEHIND HIM."SO WHATS ON YOUR MIND?" JOEY ASKED AS HE
TOOK THE BALL FROM JUSTIN AND STARTED SHOOTING THE
BALL. "NOTHING I JUST CANT BELIEVE WHAT JC IS DOING.I
MEAN AFTER WHAT I TOLD HIM THAT HAPPENED ABOUT ME AND
MARY AND HE GOES AND MAKES MOVES ON HER ALREADY." I
SAID AS I GOT REALLY WORKED UP AND STARTED DUNKING ALL
OF THESE POINTS. "DID YOU EVER THINK THAT JC IS TAKING
HER OUT AND FLIRTING WITH HER SO HE CAN GET HER MIND
OFF OF THINGS AND MAKING HER SMILE AGAIN.HE IS JUST
TRYING TO MAKE HER HAPPY AFTER ALL YOU ARENT DOING A
GOOD JOB OF THAT." JOEY SAID AS HE DUNKED A BALL IN
AND STARTED WALKING BACK INTO THE HOTEL."JUST THINK
ABOUT IT JUSTIN WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS WE WOUDNT BACK
STAB YOU LIKE THAT WE WOULD TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT
FIRST." I KEPT PLAYING FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS THINKING
ABOUT WHAT JOEY SAID AND HE WAS RIGHT.I HAVE BEEN SO
BLIND TO SEE THE TRUTH JC WOULDNT TAKE HER AWAY FROM
ME.HE'S NOT THAT KIND OF PERSON.I LOOKED AT MY
WATCH.IT WAS 7:35. SHES GONNA BE BACK ANY MINUTE AND I
GOTTA SHOWER I BETTER HEAD BACK.I RAN TO MY ROOM AND
JUMPED IN THE SHOWER.WHEN I THOUHT ABOUT IT, IT WOULD
BE BETTER IF WE JUST HANG OUT IN MY ROOM AND TALK. I
CALLED HER ROOM. NO ANSWER I GUESS SHES IN THE SHOWER
OR SOMETHING LET ME GO CHECK. I OPENED MY DOOR TO SEE
MARY GIVE JC A KISS AND THEN JC WALK IN HER ROOM AND
SHUT THE DOOR.THIS CAN NOT BE HAPPENING!!I CLOSED MY
DOOR AND THEN WALKED AROUND THE ROOM TO CALM DOWN.I
TOOK A BIG,DEEP BREATH AND THEN CALLED HER ROOM
NNUMBER."HELLO?" "HEY GURL?YOU READY?" "WELL IT ALL
DEPENDS WHERE YOU ARE TAKING ME?" "HOW BOUT WE JUST
CHILL IN YOUR ROOM AND ORDER IN AND A MOVIE?" "HOW
BOUT WE MAKE THAT YOUR ROOM CUZ I WENT A LITTLE
OVERBOARD SHOPPING THAT IS JC WENT OVERBOARD BUYING
ALL OF THIS FOR ME." HE TOOK HER SHOPPING!!?? I JUST
LOST IT RIGHT THERE AND THEN. "OK SEE YOU IN A FEW." I
DROPPED THE PHONE ON THE RECIEVER.THEN I TOOK A FEW
PUNCHES IN MY PILLOW, BEFORE I WAS CALMED DOWN
AGAIN.THEN I HEARD A KNOCK ON MY DOOR."COME IN." I
SAID AS I JUMPED ON THE BED."PIZZA?AND RH2?" "SURE
WORKS FOR ME." SHE LOOKED SO CUTE WITH HER HAIR UP.WE
SAT ON THE FLOOR EATING AND WATCHING THE MOVIE WE
REALLY DIDNT TALK MUCH.I DIDNT NEED TO TALK SHE MADE
ME HAPPY JUST BE SITTING NEXT TO ME AND TO SEE HER
LAUGHING AND SMILING.SLOWLY SHE LAID DOWN ON THE FLOOR
AND GRABBED A PILLOW AND PLACED IT ON MY LAP AND
BEFORE I KNEW IT SHE WAS ASLEEP.SHE LOOKED SO PEACEFUL
AND SO BEAUTIFUL.I SLOWLY PICKED HER UP AND GENTLY
PLACED HER ON THE BED AND COVERED HER WITH THE SHEETS.
I LAID NEXT TO HER JUST WATCHING HER SLEEP.A SMILE
CREPT ON MY FACE I HAD NO REASON TO BE MAD OR
JEALOUS.I SLOWY DRIFTED OFF TO SLEEP AS I FELT HER
BODY COME CLOSER TO MINE.SHE PLACED HER HEAD ON MY
CHEST AND I WRAPED MY ARM AROUND HER.I HAD A FEELING
THAT SOON ENOUGH THIS WAS HOW IT WAS GOING TO BE ALL
THE TIME.NO ONE COULD SEPERATE US.WE WERE MEANT TO
BE.I JUST HOPE SHE DIDNT CHANGE HER MIND OR FEELINGS
ABOUT US.SOON ENOUGH WE WOULD BE TOGETHER.SOON
ENOUGH..
