¤ Stuck On You ¤
Chapter Seven

Justin’s eyes shot open, he looked around and noticed he was sitting, almost lying down on the couch in one of the tour buses. He sat up rubbing his eyes looking around. All that he could hear was Hailee playing in the back with what sounded like Chris. Joey was sitting at the table talking on his cell phone Lance next to him checking his e-mails. JC, Adrea and Sarah weren’t in site anywhere.

Justin looked at his watch it was nearing 9pm. They must be in bed; he thought to him self. He stood up slowly, his head pounding with every inch of him getting up. He stumbled to the table where Joey and Lance were sitting.

“Justin, what are you doing up?” Lance asked closing his laptop and standing up grabbing Justin’s arm.

“What am I doing here? I was just in the hospital room.” Justin said moving his free hand to the back of his head.

“You walked on the bus and sat down on the couch. Come on I’ll help you to the back, or your bunk.” Lance said helping Justin walk towards the bunks.

The door to the back was open; Justin looked in and seen Chris playing video games with Chris and JC. Adrea was sitting next to them talking on her cell phone. Lance helped Justin up in his bunk and started to close the curtains.

“Lance, where is Sarah?” Justin asked stopping the curtain from closing.

“She went home last night.” Lance said turning around

Justin started to get up, he needed to talk to her, let her know he was fine. He knew he was fine, his head was just a little hurt. She said sorry, he shouldn’t have had the nurse keep her out. He was afraid that was all. Afraid she might try to kill him again.

Justin slid out of his bunk, Lance trying to keep him in it. Of course he wouldn’t let Lance tell him what to do. He was 20 years old. Old enough to do whatever he wanted. He grabbed one of his bags and started to dig through it, trying to find something. A small smile slid across Justin’s face when he found what he was looking for. He quickly dialed her phone number letting it ring until she picked up or her machine picked up. Neither picked up, which meant she was on the phone and not answering her call waiting.

“Justin?” He heard Hailee’s small little voice speaks.

Justin slowly turned around and looked at the young girl standing in front of him.

“Yes sweety?” Justin said holding on to a bunk, so he wouldn’t fall over. His head was still pounding at he was getting light headed again.

“MOMMY JUSTIN IS AWAKE!” Hailee smiled turning around yelling to Adrea. JC, Adrea and Chris all looked up.

Adrea said bye to whoever she was talking to and ran out to the bunks.

“Justin are you okay?” Adrea asked looking at his pale white face. She noticed he was holding on to one of the bunks like he was about to fall.

“Uh… my head hurts really bad.” Justin said looking up to see JC walk towards him.

Justin was waiting for him to ask if he was fine or some stupid thing. He didn’t say anything all he did was take Justin into his arms and hug him. Justin could feel wetness on the side of his face and neck. JC was crying, he was so happy to see Justin standing up with out anyone’s help.

“MOMMY JUSTIN IS AWAKE!” Hailee smiled turning around yelling to Adrea. JC, Adrea and Chris all looked up.

Adrea said bye to whoever she was talking to and ran out to the bunks.

“If you need anything at all. A show to get canceled, a week off, tell us and we will get it to you. You need to get one hundred percent better.” JC said sniffling.

“I’m fine, where did she go?” Justin asked so only JC could hear.

“She went home last night.” JC said not letting Justin go his best friend.

“Why? Why did she leave?” Justin asked

“She didn’t want to hurt you again.” JC said

Justin closed his eyes; he didn’t want her to be gone. He wanted her there on the tour bus. JC slowly let him go and looked at him.

“She, didn’t hurt me… call her, get her back here.” Justin said leaning up against the closed door to the front of the bus. He slowly slid down and sat on the ground.

“I was just talking to her, she feels really bad about hurting you.” Adrea said kneeling down next to Justin.

“I WANT HER HERE!” Justin yelled looking up into Adrea’s eyes.

Tears were running down Justin’s face. Sure she tried to kill him, she didn’t know what she was doing she was up set. He wanted her there more then anything, to let her know he was fine. To talk to her, Sarah wouldn’t have hurt him like that if he had been nicer to her.

Adrea stood up and backed away from him.

“I’ll call her again, like I said I’m not sure she’ll come back. If not you’ll see her in less then a week.” Adrea said walking into the back room.

JC kneeled down and sat down on his butt next to Justin. He slowly pulled his hands over his face and through his hair. After Chris shut the door to the back room he spoke up, his voice soft.

“You are like my little brother.” JC said with his hands to his face. “I don’t know what I would have done if she hurt you to the point where you weren’t the same. I know your head was just slammed into a floor. I mean Justin, she could have killed you if Mitch didn’t pull her off you.” JC added

When Justin didn’t answer JC took that as a point to keep talking.

“I would hate her if she hurt you. I don’t care if she is my sister. You are my brother, I would hate her with passion.” JC said with tears in his voice

“I’m fine JC.” Justin said looking down at the ground. He was picking at his jeans.

“I know you are fine. I’m just telling you what was going through my head when you were taken to the hospital.” JC said sniffling

“She’s your sister, you shouldn’t hate her. There is no real reason to hate her, I don’t hate her… in fact I…”

“Love her?” JC finished for Justin.
