Part 2

Chapter 8

The next day, thier last day in Vegas, The guys were scheduled to do an appearence on a local talk show. Even though there was still some tension between Justin and Chris...(or well basically Justin and EVERYBODY), they had to hide thier feelings for the sake of thier fans...or at least try. Dani sat in the audience and prayed that everything would go smoothly, since this was a Live tv show.



"So guys...how did you all come together as a group?"

'Geez IM tired of this question, I know they have to be.. Dani was once again letting her thoughts run away with her.

"Well actually I just found these guys on the side of the road aint that right Curly?" Chris said nudging Justin as the host and audience burst out laughing. Justin put on a fake smile and then glared back at Chris when the cameras were away.

'What is he doing?? Chris STOP!' Dani thought as she sat out in the audience and gripped the armrest on her chair.

"So how about girlfriends? Come on boys fess up!"

"No." Justin blurted out before anyone else had a chance.

"Oh so the whole Britney Spears thing..."

"No Im not dating her." Justin said shaking his head

"Actually IM dating her." Chris said as everyone started laughing again...Everyone except Justin.

"Yeah thats pretty much how it goes huh?" Justin said as JC kicked the back of his seat.

"You guys are pretty much like brothers huh?"

"Yeah."

"Do you all fight like brothers?"

"Yeah we do sometimes." JC answered before the others had a chance."Just over stupid stuff."

"Ever over a girl?"

'ENOUGH! Would you STOP?!?! Oh lord this is gonna turn into Jerry Springer!Watch out for the Chairs!!!' Dani thought as she began to sink down in her seat.

"Yeah I had to kick Justin's butt to get Britney from him." Chris said laughing.

"Ha ha..thats funny Chris."

"Why thank you Justin."

"Your most Welcome Chris." Justin said smiling. 'Oh yeah old man you just wait until after the show aight?'

When the show was over Dani practically ran to the bus. She didnt wanna know what was going to happen. She didnt want to see Justin dragging Chris by his dredlocks across the parking lot...She just wanted to stay out of it..stay away from it..She got on the bus and sat down in the front lounge and waited for the others.



"That was probably our best TV appearence." Chris said getting on the bus. "Wouldnt you say so fellas?"

"Yeah. Im surprised Johnny hasnt called and blessed us out yet." Lance said plopping down on the couch.

"Oh Lance you worry too much..we'll be allright. Aint dat right Curly?"

Justin glanced over at him and then stared back out the window.



"I SAID aint dat right Curly??"

'silence'

"Hey are you goin deaf? Hellooooo J U S T I N??"

"WHAT?" Justin said jumping up. "What do you want?"

"Whoa chill out man....Oh come on, dont tell me your STILL mad at me. I mean you practically rammed your fist through my stomach and I got over it."

"Thats not it."

"Then what is it?"
"I dont wanna get into it."

"Well Im sick of listening to you wallow in self-pity so what is it?"

"Im not wallowing in self-pity."

"Oh ok I forgot, Youre this cheerful all the time. My bad." Chris said as Justin turned his head and stared back out the window.

"I..umm guys? I.."

"Yes Dani?" JC said

"I think...I think I should, go back home."

Justin quickly turned his head around and looked at her. 'She's gonna Leave?? She can't leave!' 'Oh yeah sure I guess I should let her stay since she hasnt went out with JC and Joey yet...'NO idiot tell her how you feel..'I cant!'

"What? Dani no! why do you wanna leave?" JC said

' I dont WANT to leave, I HAVE to leave.'
"I just feel like I should..Im sorry guys..."

"Well, If thats how you feel we cant hold you back." JC said looking around at the others.

"We wish you would stay." Lance said

"Dani.."

"Yes Justin?"

"Im sorry."

"Youre sorry? For what exactly?"

Justin sat there for a minute.
' OK now what? I apologized, what else does she want?'
"Well, for everything.."

"Do you mean for avoiding me or Kissing me?"

Everyone turned and stared at Justin.

"Kiss?..when did this happ.."

"Chris..dont.." JC said

"What do you mean am I apologizing for kissing you?...why would I.."

"Because it didnt mean anything to you."

"What?? How do you know it didnt mean anything?"'

"Because you avoided me the second after it happened Justin!"

"Well then it obviously didnt mean anything to you either...You went out with Lance the next day!"

"So THATS why..."

"CHRIS HUSH!" they all shouted.

"Ok geez SORRY!"

"Justin I just went out to eat with Lance...nothing happened!"

"Whatever." he said sitting back down.

"Fine dont believe me."

"I wont."

"Ok then well It was nice knowin ya." she said walking back to her bunk.

"Smooth Curly..real smooth.." Chris said walking by him. Justin stared back out the window. It was all he could do to keep from crying.
'She's gonna leave? I cant let her leave! But she thinks I hate her...But I could never hate her..What am I going to do, Maybe its not too late, maybe she'll change her mind..Maybe...'

"Lance?"

"Yeah Dani?"

"Do you think you all would have time to drop me off at the airport tomorrow around 2?" she said placing her hand over the mouthpiece of her cell phone. Lance looked over at Justin then back at her.

"Ummm..yeah sure we...we'll have time."

"Ok thanks..Umm yes Ma'am I want the 2'o clock flight.., Uh huh.." she said walking back towards the bunks.
"Yeah a one-way ticket to Orlando."
