Chapter Eighteen

Justin’s leg bounced up and down; every now and then he would glance at Sarah. He wanted to know what was going on inside of her mind. She had stayed a few days at the hospital, and was questioned by the police for hours on hours. They were now on a plane on their way to Florida.

Sarah turned her head from looking out the window to looking at Justin, he was chewing on his pinkie finger and his legs were bouncing. The moment Justin noticed Sarah was staring at him, his legs stopped bouncing and he pulled his finger away from his mouth.

He needed to cut the silence some how; he just didn’t know what to say. He wanted to say sorry, however, he had said that a million times over and it only got Sarah mad at him. Justin sighed and looked away from Sarah’s eyes, there was still so much pain in them.

“We’re breaking up.” Justin said turning his head back to look at Sarah.

Confusing was written all over her face, what was Justin talking about? Sarah was trying to read his face, his eyes… they were both serious. Before she had a chance to speak, he continued.

“8-years and we are breaking up. I mean on good terms, I don’t know what I’m going to do after this. It was my life; I don’t know anything but it. That is why we have to go back so fast. I wanted to stay in California but I can’t. I have to come home and tell the world that we are breaking up. I know that JC and I will still be frien…” Sarah standing up cut off Justin.

Justin looked up at Sarah, she look torn up even more that he was telling her about the break up. He reached up and grabbed her hand, with out any luck, she pulled away and tried to walk to the bathroom.

“Don’t cry Sarah, it isn’t the end of the world.” Justin said standing up and taking her into a hug.

By this time Sarah wasn’t sure if she even wanted his arms around her. She pushed away but he held on to tightly.

“Not the end of the world? Not the end of the world Justin, you are lucky we are on a plane, or I’d kick your ass.” Sarah said still trying to push away, still couldn’t get out of Justin’s arms.

“It’s not like I don’t have enough money as it is. I’m stable to get married zillion times over, and buy a hundred houses. I bet you are going to miss the touring that was always the fun thing, especially with you. I should tell the guys how I feel, how it felt. I mean they would like to know. I’m going to miss it.” Justin said his eyebrows raising

Justin was trying to make it sound better then it really was, he wasn’t ready for *NSYNC to be over, not yet that is. He wasn’t emotionally or physically ready for it to be all done.

Sarah was about to push him away one last time and tell him to go to hell for deciding that they were over, that something they both found out not to long ago was over. That is until she felt his back trembling and shaking… like he was crying.

Putting her hands on his shoulders she pushed him back and looked at him, his face was wet with tears. Justin sat down in his chair and moved his hands up to his face to cover the tears that were falling from his eyes.

“Why are you crying? Shouldn’t I be the one that is crying?” Sarah asked pissed off as she sat back down.

Justin’s head shot up and looked at her, shocked at what she was saying, until it dawned on him that he could have been talking about them breaking up. He cracked a weak smile and grabbed Sarah’s hand pulling her to his chest.

“I’m not talking about us Sarah, I wouldn’t ever want to break up with you. I just got you I’m not ready to lose you.” Justin said kissing the side of her head.

“What are you talking about then? It sure sounded like you were talking about us.” Sarah said into his chest where he had pulled her into a hug.

“*NSYNC, JC called that is why we are going back to Florida, they want us to do a press conference and tell the world we are going to take a long break. Start families, have families, have real lives, be some what normal.” Justin said sniffling a few times.

Justin grabbed Sarah’s hand as they walked off the airplane and into the terminal. Mitch was behind them while JC was sitting in a chair a hat on his head along with a hoody sweat shirt over the hat, sunglasses over his eyes, with a body guard sitting ten seats away acting like he was waiting for someone else.

The moment JC seen Sarah he jumped out of his seat and ran over to them. He pulled her into a tight hug that he didn’t want to let go. With his right arm he pulled Justin into the hug.

“I already lost one thing, I am so happy I didn’t lose you.” JC said holding back his tears.

“I’m so sorry about the baby.” Sarah said pulling her arms around her brother’s neck and giving him a hug back.

“It was fate, I’d rather have her lose a baby then loose you. We can make more babies, but we can’t make another you… if that makes any sense at all.” JC said as the five of them went walking out of the airport and to Justin’s Benz.
