°¥° The Little Things °¥°
Chapter Twelve

Each member of *NSYNC were sitting in the limousine, it was in a line waiting to be stopped fully to let them all out at the arena for the award show. Adrea was sitting next to JC; her hair was up in a French twist. A simple black dress that went low in the back and lower in the front was what she had on, it wasn’t much, and then again she never liked going full out dress up.

Sarah sat next to Justin their hands holding tightly together. Sarah’s hair was down and curly, she had on a short, short skirt in the color of light pink, her shirt tied through the whole back and dipped down really low in the front, in the color of creamy white. She decided not to wear the sweat pants and day-dress to the award show after all. She was going to be her self; the girl who wore nice, tight, short clothing with heals to make her look hot.

Sarah was nervous about going to the award show, this would be the first time Justin and She was actually going out as a couple to an award show. Sure they acted like a couple for almost two-years, however, this was different, they knew how each other felt and weren’t about to hold back any longer. She was cussing at her self for being so self-centered about the whole award show. This was going to be the first time Adrea was on TV with JC was a married couple, her brother was the happiest guy in the world with Adrea, and he was just now going to show the world his beautiful wife.

Justin’s eyes roamed around the limousine, Chris was joking around on his cell phone while Lance and Joey talked about a TV show they wanted to do. That was when everything started to hit him like a wall of bricks. Why was he thinking of this while waiting to go into an award show? Why did he just realize this after such a long time? Justin slumped back in the seat in the limousine, his eyes looking at the six people. JC and Adrea weren’t saying anything, JC had his hand on Adrea’s stomach, and Sarah was holding onto his hand tighter and tighter was the seconds passed, chewing on her bottom lip. Chris was on his cellular phone, talking to God knows who, while Lance and Joey ignored the rest of the group and talked about a TV show they were going to be going on.

The group was slowly breaking up, or falling apart however you looked at it. They hadn’t put out a CD in such a long time; they hadn’t toured in a very long time. TV shows didn’t seem like a thing to do as the group NSYNC. Justin was pulled out of his thoughts when Sarah let his hand go. His eyes looked at her, she was looking at him and he noticed no one was in the limousine any more.

“You ready to go?” Sarah asked reaching for the door. Justin pulled her back away from it, his eyes roaming her body.

“It’s not right for the lady to get out before the man.” Justin smiled his lips mere inches from Sarah’s.

“We’ve been sitting here for three-minutes, let’s get out of here before they think we are losing our Innosense in a limousine.” Sarah smiled as she lightly touched her lips to Justin’s.

Justin pulled away and opened the door, the crowd got loud, screaming for him. Reporters were taking photographs of him standing there looking at everyone. They weren’t going to say he was here alone again, Justin reached his hand down and Sarah placed her hand into his bigger one. She stepped out of the limousine and it pulled away. Justin ran his hand across her bare lower back and took Sarah’s right hand with his right hand, and took her left one with his left hand.

“Now comes the time to tell the world how much we loved each other and couldn’t just be friends.” Justin whispered into Sarah’s ear kissing it lightly making her smile.

Sarah’s eyes roamed around looking at all the celebrities that were there. Her eyes landed on Britney Spears, alone talking to reporters. Sarah closed her eyes and then looked around again, this time landing on her brother and Adrea. They were talking to reporters about being in love, is what Sarah thought that is until JC ran his hand over Adrea’s stomach and they all laughed.

“Justin care to comment on why you are bringing your ex-girlfriend to the award show?” A reporter asked sticking a microphone towards Sarah and Justin.

Justin swallowed hard as he held onto Sarah’s hand tighter. This was something they were doing before they even talked to Johnny, or Jive. Adrea was already for it, being *NSYNC’s PR she as okay with the ordeal. Sarah looked up at Justin and smiled a little to let him know she was going to back up whatever he was going to say. Justin looked around at the red carpet then to the reporter, for some reason he couldn’t find his voice. The moment he was supposed to tell how they were actually together he couldn’t seem to find his voice.

“Well you see, I… I… You see” Justin said coughing a little, “It’s that…we…well…” Justin choked on the next few words.

Sarah looked up at him, shock on her face, she couldn’t believe he couldn’t spit it out. She squeezed his hand tightly and smiled a little bigger as the camera switched to her face then to his and back again. Sarah leaned in a little, about to speak up for her stuttering boyfriend.

“You see, Justin and…” Sarah was stopped by Britney Spears’ loud mouth

“He owns JC, so he is bringing the little sister along.” Britney said walking up to Sarah and Justin.

Britney ran her hand down Justin’s arm and back up. Sizing him up, her eyes switched to looking at Sarah as she snorted. Britney leaned into Sarah and whispered in her ear.

“And they say I wear slut clothing.” Britney said with a smile as she looked up at the camera.

Sarah looked up at Justin who had been literally pulled away from her by Britney, his jaw was tightened and he was clenching his hands into fists. He was getting pissed off as the seconds passed by.

“I don’t owe JC anything, I came here with my GIRL friend for one reason.” Justin said pulling away from Britney. Justin pulled his arm around Sarah and held onto her tightly, “That reason is to have fun with someone I LOVE.” Justin smiled walking away from Britney pulling Sarah away.

Sarah walked fast trying to catch up with him, almost falling a few times until she pulled her hand away from Justin and stood there looking at him.

“What are you doing?” Sarah asked in a low voice, her hand at her side, a fake smile on her face.

“Walking…” Justin was cut off by an ET reporter walking up to him the camera went in front of him while 5 other people surrounded him cutting off his view from Sarah all together.

“Justin, what do you think about the award *NSYNC is receiving?” The guy asked holding out the microphone for Justin to talk into.

Justin bite down on his bottom lip, how could anyone be so rude and push his girlfriend away from him. Taking deep breaths, Justin opened his mouth and was amazed at what came out of his mouth.

“Who the hell do you think you are? Just because I’m Justin Timberlake from *NSYNC don’t mean I want to talk to you, and just because you are ET don’t mean you can just push my girlfriend behind you.” Justin said almost in a yelling voice pushing through them to see Sarah standing the same way he last seen her, only this time tears were in her eyes.

This day wasn’t going how either one of them wanted it to. Britney ruined part of it, he ruined part of it, and the reporters were ruining parts of it. Justin walked up to her and pulled Sarah to him for a tight hug, he lowered his head and kissed her ear softly.

“I’m the worst boyfriend anyone could have.” Justin whispered holding Sarah tighter, until he felt Sarah laughing.

Justin pulled away and looked at her, trying to figure out why she was laughing. Sarah grabbed his hand and pointed behind him, Justin slowly turned around and looked at all the reporters with their cameras on them. This wasn’t how he wanted to tell people they were together; things worked out in weird ways.

“I love you, no matter how bad of a boyfriend you are.” Sarah smiled as they began to walk down the red carpet more, catching up with the rest of the guys.

Sarah stood next to Justin and JC with Adrea, Joey and Lance were talking to a few reporters about another movie they would in, while Chris stood around joking with other celebrities. After the blow up between Justin and the ET reporter, most cameras were on them flashes gone off left and right.

“When did you two decide to get back together?” Someone asked pushing a tape recorder towards the two.

Sarah looked at Justin, and waited for his reply, if he knew what to say.

“Well, we thought it would be better if we were just friends. I guess when you really love someone you can’t just be friends, you have to be more…” Justin started trailing off

“We didn’t decided anything, it just happened. It was kind of like waking up and going, ‘I really love you and I don’t see why we are trying to pull off we-are-just-friends’.” Sarah smiled reaching for Justin’s hand

It was done; they were a couple in the world of show business. Their every move was going to be watched, every word, and everything they wore was going to be looked at. Justin finds true love at 23, with best friends younger sister. Nothing could go bad now; they were all set for their lives.
