The sun rose over the bed, the white walls became brighter with the reflection. The house was peaceful as were each person sleeping in it. Their chests rose and fell at the same time, the blankets were kicked off the bed sheets covering them, keeping them warm.
JC’s eyes slowly opened, for the first time in a few weeks he had a good night rest, his eyes looked over the bed at the night stand to the clock it was going on nine o’clock in the morning. Before he could move more then an inch Justin’s voice penetrated the quiet room.
“Hmm, don’t move Josh I’m to comfortable to get up.” Justin smiled snuggling closer to JC his head resting on JC’s chest a leg wrapped around one of JC’s legs.
Justin’s arms were around JC’s midsection and he held on tighter as JC tried to move off the bed and get up.
“Justin, it’s almost nine-thirty let’s get up.” JC whispered running a hand through Justin’s short curly hair.
Justin lifted his head up off of JC’s chest and looked up, he smiled at JC then rested his head back on his chest. He didn’t want to get up he didn’t want to leave this behind that day. Justin sighed and closed his eyes holding tighter onto JC’s body. Justin’s head shot up when he heard the front door slam shut and footsteps in the kitchen, he pulled his legs away from JC and sat up a little in the bed.
“Justin baby you up?” Lynn called from the bottom of the stairs
Justin groaned a little and looked at JC for a few seconds, he lowered his head and kissed him on the lips lightly before pulling away and getting out of the warm bed. He pulled on some PJ bottoms over his boxer-briefs and walked out of the bedroom.
“Mom?” Justin asked walking down the stairs
Lynn was in the kitchen; pots and pans could be heard being banged around in the large kitchen. Justin walked into the kitchen and looked his mother. She hadn’t come over for a very long time this early in the morning.
“Where is everyone else? Or are you the only one up?” Lynn asked turning around to smile at her only son.
“UH… Laura is in bed sleeping still, if you want I can go and wake her up.” Justin said half turning around.
“Oh, nonsense let her sleep, is Joshua up? I seen his car parked in the front, I figured he most have stayed over…to you know, talk.” Lynn said her back to Justin as she scrambled eggs.
“Yeah, he stayed over… we were up late writing some songs for the album.” Justin half smiled, he hated lying to his own mother.
Lynn just smiled even though she knew Justin couldn’t see her. A few minutes later JC came down the stairs into the kitchen. He could smell the eggs from all the way in the bathroom and just knew it was Lynn who was cooking.
“Momma Lynn!” JC smiled giving her a hug from behind. “I could smell that from the bathroom, you are a wonderful cook it’s just too bad Justin can’t cook half as well as you.” JC half smiled at Justin taking a seat at the bar.
They all sat there in silence; Justin and JC kept stealing glances at each other then smiling when they would look at each other at the same time. Lynn turned around and gave them a plate full of bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast and some Orange Juice.
“So where is that wonderful fiancée of yours Justin?” Lynn asked pouring herself a cup of coffee and leaning up against the counter looking at Justin and JC eat.
“She’s probably tired, I’ll go get her up.” Justin half smiled getting off the stool and walking up the stairs.
JC half watched Justin as he disappeared around the corner and up the stairs. Lynn pushed off the counter and walked over to the bar. She took a seat next to JC and looked at him for a few minutes.
“So, Joshua when am I going to get news that you’re getting married?” Lynn asked with a warm smile on her face.
“Not anytime soon, I have a few more years left before I want to get…UH married to that special someone.” JC half lied taking another drink of his OJ, he looked at Lynn and smiled.
“I’m kind of shocked that Justin wants to get married at such a young age, he is only 21-years old. I guess when I got married with Randy I was much younger then Justin is. It’s just…. Kind of weird, I didn’t hear anything about Laura and then one day. “Momma I’m getting married in a few months, and her name is Laura Mills.” Know what I mean?” Lynn half-asked JC and her self at the same time taking another drink of her coffee.
JC’s eyes looked back towards the stairs where Laura and Justin were now walking towards the kitchen, Laura with her hands around Justin’s midsection. JC’s heart started to pound with jealousy watching them, and it began to pound even more when Justin slowly kissed her on the lips and smiled like he actually loved her.
“Yeah, I know what you mean.” JC said turning his head so that he was looking at Lynn.
“I sure hope they aren’t working on making me a grandma any time soon, I don’t think I can handle any more news. This is already big as it is.” Lynn said standing up taking another drink of her coffee.
“Don’t worry about that one, I know they aren’t.” JC whispered to him self standing up, he took one last drink of the OJ and finished it off. “Well, that was really good Lynn. Justin, I’m going to head out now, I’ll see you tomorrow at the studio.” JC half smiled, but it went away when he noticed Justin’s arms wrapped around Laura like they belonged there. With his head down he walked into the front room pulled on his shoes, grabbed his coat out of the closet and walked out the front door.
JC’s voice poured through out the studio, it was filled with so much passion and purity and strength that is made each guy in the studio look at him in awe. He hadn’t sung with such force and power for a while now, especially the type of song he was singing. A song about heartbreak and sorrow, a song that Lance wrote years ago, and was just now being looked over.
Wade Robson sat forward in his chair and pressed a button, a loud beep was heard where JC was standing next to Lance and Joey.
“Okay, JC that’s all I need with you for now. You can take a break, as goes for Lance and Joey.” Wade said releasing the button and looking over at Chris who was in the middle of thumb war with Justin and Laura.
Wade had always been fine with JC and Justin’s sexuality, he more then welcomed it, and wished they had told the world and their fans. He knew that their fans wouldn’t mind all too much, they could tell they were happy together, and in love with each other. Then one day Justin came walking into the studio holding hands with a beautiful brunette woman. But what shocked Wade more was then they kissed passionately. Wade watched the three play their game until Laura let out a little giggle and fell into Justin’s arms where he automatically ran a hand through her half curly hair and planted a kiss on her soft pink lips.
Wade was pissed; furious at what he was seeing Justin do to JC. He was going to get to the bottom of this, even if it meant making Justin stay later then the rest of the guys. But little did Wade know, Justin couldn’t tell him anything even if he wanted to, he had to play like he was in love with Laura.
“Joey put me down!” Laura laughed loudly as Joey picked her up spinning her around in the small studio.
“My mom told me that your mom is due to Orlando tomorrow at noon. Can I go with you to pick her up? Or are you going to bring loser Justin with you? Please bring me Please.” Joey smiled dropping her on the couch.
Laura half smiled and half laughed at Joey as he sat down next to her pulling her hair every once in a while.
“Sure you can come with me. I’m sure Momma would love to see you again, she hasn’t seen you in ages! Oh lordy, she’ll just have a heart attack if she sees you!” Laura half laughed pushing Joey by his shoulder.
Wade coughed a little and moved around in his chair, he looked around at each person in the studio. Justin was looking at JC, but the look wasn’t returned JC on the other hand was talking on his cell phone and writing something down on a piece of paper. Chris and Lance were now playing thumb war; Chris like usual was loosing.
“Guys, you are free to go. I just need to half Justin to my self for a little to finish up a few bars, alone.” Wade said as everyone slowly got up, JC was the first one out the door, followed by Joey, Lance and Chris, Laura sat where she was. “Laura I need you to leave.” Wade said giving the girl a weird look.
“Oh… Okay, Justy I’ll just wait for you out in the lobby.” Laura half smiled giving Justin a kiss on the cheek and leaving the studio.
Justin stood up from his seat and clapped his hands together; he started for the recording booth but Wade stopped him.
“There is no need for you to go in there. I lied about you needing to work on a few bars, we just need to talk.” Wade stated out flatly crossing his arms over his chest.
“Okay man, shoot.” Justin said leaning up against the wall
“What is going on? Why did you all the sudden drop JC, I thought you loved him?” Wade asked trying too as nicely as he could.
“What do you mean drop JC? I haven’t dropped him, I’m exploring my options.” Justin said biting his upper lip.
“Exploring your options, by getting married to a woman that you met not very long ago? That Joey most likely knows more about? Is that what you call exploring your options? Because from what I see, you think you are in love with this girl? You must not know what love is, if you can jump from one person to the next saying you are in love with them. You said you loved JC, last time I seen you was two months ago, and you two were much in love and now… you are getting married to some chick that is best friends with Joey. Your definition of love must be different from any other person in this world.” Wade snapped he couldn’t help it, even if Justin hadn’t said too much to him, he couldn’t help but snapped at him, bitch at him.
Justin stood there a little shocked by what Wade was saying, was his acting with Laura so great that someone as close as Wade couldn’t see through it? Or was he actually dropping JC that fast just to make the other guys in the group happy, when the one person he should make happy wasn’t even in the room with them.
“I know what love is, love is what I’m doing!” Justin snapped pushing off the wall, he pulled open the studio door and slammed it shut.
He was doing this out of love? Sure he was, he had to be doing it, JC was the one that told him to do it in the first place. His heart fell when he seen Laura sitting in the lobby waiting for him like she said she would do.
