Justin sat in the chair where he had been for the past two hours, Lynn was talking on the phone with Randy even after Justin begged her not to call him. She was worried about what he had been telling her, she had to talk to his father, after what Justin was wanting to do gets out, hell would be raining down on both her and Randy.
"I've already tried to talk him about it, Randy he isn't a baby any more, he is 21 years old and he is old enough to do what ever he wants to do." Lynn sighed running a hand over her face.
She had been talking to him for the past half an hour, he was starting to get on her nerves.
"Mom." Justin's voice was low, and he knew she either was ignoring him or didn't hear him at all. "Mom!" His voice was getting louder with each yell, "MOM!" this time it was a yell.
Lynn looked over at him pulling the phone from her ear.
"What?"
"Get off the phone with that man, stop talking to him. He just hates the fact that I'm GAY and coming out!" Justin raised his voice on the word gay.
Lynn sighed saying a few more words to Randy than hung up, she walked into the front room and sat down on the couch looking at her only son. She had always knew in the back of her mind that something was going on between Josh and Justin, she just didn't want to think about it like it was really there. Justin knew she supported the both of them, but she wasn't supporting him wanting to come out to the world that he was gay, not when he was this upset, not when Josh was upset over something.
It didn't seem right, the timing wasn't right, she wasn't sure how he was going to do it, or when but when his mind was made up you couldn't change it.
"So, how are you going to do it? Go to the press..." Lynn trailed off looking at Justin, he stopped crying a little over an hour ago, his face was tear stained and his eyes were blood shot.
"No, that would just eat me a live and hurt the rest of the guys. I'm just going to do what every person does when they are my age. Date, and if there are 'camera's' around than I'm going to get caught on camera. I don't want to face the press and hurt Josh and the rest of the guys. That way, I can tell the press if asked, that the guys never knew, and that Laura was a cover up for me." Justin shrugged her shoulders as he stood up rubbing his eyes with his hands.
"Justin, the press will eat you alive that way as well. Do you really want to do this with out Joshua by your side? To have someone there helping you get through it?" Lynn asked standing up and following him out side.
"Josh made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with me, he doesn't even want to be in the group because of me. I have to do this for my self..."
"And him, you aren't doing it for your self, you are trying to show him that you love him. Justin he'll hate you if you don't talk to him about this first." Lynn cut him off as he got into his car.
"He already hates me, why not make him hate me even more?" Justin shrugged his shoulders as he started his car and pulled away.
Justin pulled to a stop infront of the local park, he knew he wasn't supposed to be out there with out his body guard, not in a pubic place like this, but he didn't want to go home. He knew one of the guys were over there, Lance showed up at JC's so he just put two and two together. He had to start dating other guys, he just wasn't sure how to do it. He had only dated one man, and that was JC.
He knew he had cameras follow him to his mothers house, and to the park from JC's place. He also knew of a gay club called Club X just down the street. It was late and if he wanted to have the cameras stay with him that he'd have to start doing something to show people who he really was.
Running a hand through his hair, and putting on some more A&F Woody, Justin turned his car off in the parking lot of Club X. He had never been inside the club before until then. He wasn't sure what to see inside there, he knew there would be a lot of guys and was hoping to find at least one good looking one.
Each member of *NSYNC were seated around the table in the meeting room. Justin and Wade were in the studio rerecording some of Justin's parts, while the rest of the guys were working on dance moves. They weren't sure why they had been called into the meeting room, everything seemed to be going fine after the big fight Justin and JC had had two days before.
In Justin's mind, they were in the meeting room to talk about the group. JC must of went to Johnny telling him he was done. That was what really was running through Justin's head. Justin took a deep breath when Johnny walked into the room and let it out slowly when Johnny took a seat at the head of the table.
He was sitting next to Joey and Chris, he was used to sitting next to Lance and JC, but now JC wouldn't even look at him much less sit next to him.
"Guys, are you having fun?" Johnny asked his eyes landing on Justin.
"We always have fun recording CD's why?" Joey asked his leg bouncing up and down noticing the looks Johnny was giving Justin.
"Well, I was really just asking Justin if he was having fun. Having fun at clubs that he shouldn't be going too." Johnny glared pulling out a magazine and tossing it across the table towards the guys. It stopped in front of JC who almost stopped breathing at the photo that was on the cover.
It was a picture of Justin and another male grinding into each other on the dance floor of the club. It was clear as day who Justin was and that he wasn't with a female. Joey grabbed the magazine his mouth hanging open as he took the picture in for him self.
"Club X, or should we call it Club Timberlake. Club X a happening gay club in Orlando, FL had a celebrity guest, which hadn't happened at all for the club being that it's a club for homosexual males. Timberlake as shown left was found entering Club X just hours after he stormed out of band mate JC Chasez east Orlando apartment. Sources from inside the club told us that Timberlake was being just like every male in the club as shown bottom right, he even had a few makeout sessions with two different males at the club. So far Timblake land has yet to comment on this, we will have more information as soon as we get it." Joey stopped reading as he looked over the pictures. "You think you could get any closer to this guy?" Joey pointed to the photo of Justin dancing with some guy.
"I could have gotten closer, but I don't fuck on the first date." Justin's eyes drifted to JC who was looking out the window.
"Justin, what were you thinking?" Johnny almost yelled slamming his hands down on the table.
"I was thinking, hell yeah this guy is hot. I mean he could have better taste in clothes but his ass... I mean whoa nice ass he works out... something Joey should do..." Justin smirked at Joey as he looked over at Johnny.
"Are you trying to ruin your career?" Johnny asked standing up.
"No, you already did that, or has Josh not come to you about wanting to be done with the group? I know I'm not the only one that heard him say that, right LANCE?" Justin's voice was boring, emotionless, almost as if he gave up him self on the group and JC. " I mean he screamed it in my face, I could be a little wrong, but the words, "I'm through with you, with the group. I'm done with this whole thing." are stuck in my mind, so Johnny you tell me, who is doing what?" Justin asked standing up. "So until you get it through your fucking thick head that I don't care what people think of me or this group, and that I'm gay and will never not be gay, don't call me into the studio, a meeting or anything. Don't even call me." Justin snapped leaving the room and letting the door slam shut behind him.
