Justin
Damn We were late, but good thing Trish had reserved us a seat. Shane had just finished introducing someone and they came on and sounded wonderful doing an acapella but then she started crying. Shane came back out a few minutes later and I waved.
At first there was a smile but it faded, as the saw Lance and John. Egh that leech he tracked us down by management, they must still think he is our friend. He followed us to the mall, and wouldn't let Lance leave his side. I wasn't about to leave him alone with that jackal so I invited them.
I hoped that Shane would talk to Lance tonight and that he wouldn't hold any hard feelings. Before I could give it anymore thought Shane and the girl from before came back on stage. The music started but Shane didn't leave.
He and the girl traded off verses to 'Bizounce' by Olivia and it sounded wonderful. But near the end of the song there was one part when Shane did this one move while looking directly at Lance. At first there was no reaction then you could see tears coming to his eyes.
The crowd exploded at the performance. Lance ran off towards the bathroom crying, with Chris following him. "Do you want me to come baby?" John called. "What you gonna wipe his ass to? Give it a break." Jc hissed as he stood up and walked to the side stage. I had to follow to see if he was going to talk to Shane.
Open Field
Jc made his way to the backstage and had no problem getting past the guards due to his status. He soon found
Trish running around.
"Hey guys what's up. Lance couldn't live without Shane for five minutes?" Trish joked surprised that they had finaly showed up.
"Hehe yeah, um where is he?" Justin answered, figuring that Trish didn't know about Shane and Lance's break-up.
"Umm he should be in his dressing room." She answered, pointing to a closed door. Before any more questions could be asked Jc took off towards the door with Justin trailing close behind.
With out knocking Jc pushed inside and locked the door after making sure He, Justin and Shane were inside.
"Mm Hi." Shane meekly said. "You have to stop this." Jc yelled motioning towards the club.
"Stop what?!" Shane said in disbelief. "What your doing to Lance." Justin shouted. "What I'm doin to him, have you flipped? He came here flaunting his new boytoy in my face, and I'm hurting him. Bullshit."
Jc and Justin both calming down a bit motioned for Shane to join them on the couch. "Lance isn't trying to flaunt, he's trying to stay seen." Jc said in a scary calm.
"So what? He needs a new toy per city to feel important?" Shane scoffed getting upset that Justin and Jc dared to justify anything that Lance did.
"I understand that your upset but before you set final judgment you have to know something about Lance and James."
"It sure as hell better be good." Shane mumbled.
"Lance doesn't like being with John." Jc said trying to find the words to say what was coming. "He didn't seem to mind last night." Shane shot back.
"He doesn't like to be alone with john because, because.." Jc was struggling to say what he was going to say. Shane getting impatient stood up. "He what Jc, spends his money, can't cook, what does he do that I'm supposed to care." "He hits him." Jc answered in an almost mute voice.
"What?" Shane asked afraid of the answer. "John beats him, almost daily." Jc said again." Shane power base of hate towards Lance was totally rocked by that news, but his actions for this situation were not to be shaken as easy as he rushed for the door. Only to be stopped by Jc.
"I know what you want to do but anything drastic could cause him to go to the press." Justin said as he as Jc struggled to keep the enraged Shane in the room.
"Alright, but what else can I do?" A slightly defeated Shane exclaimed falling into a chair. "I think we can ride out John but it would kill Lance if were to leave him now, it would kill us all." Jc pleaded.
Shane and Justin were both shocked at the sincerity in Jc's words. He felt his heartstrings being tugged at as he thought of what to do to stay in Lance's life.
"Ok I'll stay, but make sure he is here for my last song."
Shane went to the Dj and changed the song that he was to sing last from the one that he and Justin practiced to an older one in his collection. The bar tender already made the announcement for open floor and people from the crowd were making their way on stage.
Shane sent a rose over to the guys' table with Lances name on it. After looking at the sender, his face immediately lit up as he scanned for Shane's face. He found it by the stage looking back at him.
John followed Lance's stare and found Shane. HE was immediately enraged that even though he had Lance's body, Shane still had his heart. John decided to play Shane's game against him, and went up to the stage to sing. The John went up on stage as the last walk on act before Shane was to go on.
The music to 'Makes me Ill' started to play as John got on stage. Justin groaned, and pounded his head against the table as he witnessed his song about to be butchered.
I was hanging with the fellas Saw you with your new boyfriend, it made me jealous I was hoping that I'd never see you with him But it's all good, 'cause I'm glad that I met him yeah 'Cause now I know the competition's very slim to none And I can tell by looking that he's not the one He's not the type you said you liked His style is wack, clothes are rad Come on, girl, let him go I want you back
Call me a player, if you want to But I only hit on him 'cause I want you Say I'm trippin' if you feel like But you without me isn't right You can say I'm crazy, if you want to
It the middle of the song Shane ran up on stage grabbing the mic. "Yoink!!!!"
"Gee ya know what? Ah-ah, get tha fuck off my stage, well that's it for the comedy for the night, now for our final acts. John was laughed off stage. You could tell he was heated as he took a seat next to Lance. It didn't help that Justin wasn't holding back his laughter.
Just then a man in a suite came up behind Jc placing a hand on his shoulder. "So this is where you guys were coming." "Johnny? What are you doing here?" Jc asked confused as to why a producer/ tour manager would be looking for them now.
"Well I know how you guys never hit up a club twice in a row, and when your bodyguards told you came here again I had to make sure you weren't getting into trouble." Jc liked Johnny because of his hands on approach and not sending people to spy on them he pulled a seat for him to join them.
"So what's going on?" Johnny asked, getting comfortable in the chair Jc provided.
"Our friend is performing soon so we're here to cheer him here." Chirrs supplied. "Is he any good?" Johnny asked looking at no one in particular. "You have no idea." Justin said smugly. He sat there waiting for the rest of the show to begin when his cell started ringing. Not recognizing the number, he decided finally he should take the call.
"Hello?" "Hi, may I please speak to Justin?" "This is he." "Oh hi, this is Shane's brother Rajin, where are you guys we checked the house and the hotel." "Sup man where at this club downtown." Receiving the directions, Rajin said they would be there in about 5 minuets.
Shane Introduced Trish as she preformed 'If you were mine' by Mya. She had pretty good pipes on her, and the crowd showed their appreciation as they cheered for her.
As they waited for the crowd to calm Justin received a phone call informing him that they had arrived, he stood up to look for them but he didn't even know what to look for." After everyone calmed down, Trish came back onto stage and introduced Shane.
"You remember him from a earlier act, here again is Shane Valdez. The crowd cheered as the lights slightly dimmed and Shane came on stage.
The song started and Shane looked a bit nervous. But regain his poster as he looked at John and remembered his mission, 'destroy him.
(Shane)
Boy I knew she was your girl.
But when you had her ,
you couldn't understand just what she needed.
So I took her off your hands I know your mad at me
but you'll get over it eventually

if any problem there then come and see me
it's so obvious that i'm the one she loves
it's not hard to see she wants to be with me
had you chance to treat her right
couldn't get it right say bye bye bye (Shane winked at the guys table as he did this.)
I know you disagree she's comin home with me

had you chance to treat him right
couldn't get it right say bye bye bye
I know you disagree he's comin home with me
hope you understand i'm takin your man
During the song Trish came from backstage with a shocked look on her face doing a very amusing fish impersonation, as she walk backwards from the stage towards the guys. "What's wrong?' Jc ask seeing her face. All she could do is point towards the stage as Shane was beginning the next verse.
As he began some one else's voice was heard coming from the speakers. Shane looked to the side curtain and his eyes widened in shock, and happiness at the familiar face. It was Rajin. Letting him take center stage Shane let him do the verse.
(Rajin)
now there no need to try and fight it
you can't deny it
you see it in her eyes that she don't want you
you shoulda took a little time to see what she needs
then she wouldn't be comin home to me
(Shane)
it's so obvious that i'm the one she loves
it's not hard to see she wants to be with me
say what you want it time for her to leave
if any problem there then come and see me
Shane was about to let Rajin take center stage again two figures moved for the opsite sides of the stage singing the chours. Shane and his brothers could hear the gasps of disbelief from the crowd, and just smiled at the usual reaction.
(Jelani & Remy)

But I'm taking her from you.
Finishing the song pointing at John the lights went out, and the once shocked crowd erupted with cheers. The guys were to stunned to do anything and were able to gawk at the brothers, even as they made their way to the table.
John was clutching Lance's arm tightly as Shane neared.
"Look I'm going to say this, and only once. If you so much as dare breath the same air as Lance again, I will make it my pass time to making your life miserable."
"Who the hell do you think you are?" "10 times the man you are, using a bitch ass excuse as love, to beat someone." John was about to hit Shane but saw that he was dramatically outnumbered. John let go of Lance and he immediately ran to Shane's open arms.
"Your all goanna pay for this!!" John leered as he stormed out of the club. "I doubt it." Shane muttered as he motioned his head toward the exit towards his brothers. Jelani and Remy left after John.
Feeling the need for privicy Shane lead everyone back to his dressing room.
"What are we going to do" Lance asked form Shane's embrace "he going to go to the press."
Everyone sat in silence thinking of their soon to change future. About five minutes later Jelani came stalking into the room and sitting in a corner chair, with a very pissed look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Shane asked. Holding up his hand, Jelani counted down from five when Remy came in the door howling with laughter.
Pointing at the pissed off Jelani through his laughter he managed "You are such a dumbass."
"What happened?" Rajin asked Jelani. "I didn't know, it wasn't supposed to go back that far." "WHAT HAPPENED?" Shane yelled getting impatient.
"Ok, I did the thing," He said pointing to his head. "But there was a unexpected variable, I didn't know he had a tongue ring."
Shane and Rajin got smiles on there face as they were let in on the inside joke.
"What's going on?" Jc asked frustrated he didn't know what was going on.
"Ok I'll tell you but you have to keep an open mind." Shane said looking at the group. "My brothers and I have access to certain technologies that aren't well known." "Yeah and," Chris said not satisfied. "Well we erased a part of Johns memory using a bit of electricity."
"Yeah right." Justin laughed. "For real, think of the mind as a video tape with information on it, expose it to a bit of outside electro-activity and you mess up the tape." Shane explained
"But you said you erased a 'bit' of his memory, how can you select what you erase." Justin asked still in disbelief
"That the hard part" Jelani spoke up. "It's usually done when thoughts relating to the memory in question are presently active, but when agitated the mind flashes images so quickly sometimes it get hard."
"So what happened to John? "Joey asked unsure.
"Well I didn't know that he had a tongue ring and it cause a bit of a power surge." "Are so saying you blew his head up?" Chris said being hyper jumping to conclusions.
"No, but I accidentally erased a bit to much." "How much, Shane asked." "About he thinks Santa clause is real much" Jelani answered in a kids voice.
Everyone started laughing at the site of John a grown man sitting on Santa's lap.
"So where clean of John?" Jc asked in disbelief. "Yuppers." Shane answered hugged and kissing Lance.
"Good," Chris voiced "now not that I'm happy but this room has no A/C any way to much body heat." They a filed out the door to the club but Shane grabbed Justin pushing him to the wall and holding him with a hand on his chest.
"If you ever go through my stuff again I will destroy you." "Ok sorry." Justin laughed a little nervous at Shane's mood swing.
"And Justin, thank you." Shane said moving in and softly kissing Justin on the lips, leaving him blushing. Shane left him there for a moment in shock before he caught up at the table.
"Guy's this is our tour manager/producer Johnny Wright. Johnny this is Shane and his brothers." Jc introduced "I'm sorry where are my manners." Shane spoke up.
"These are my brothers, Rajin, Remy and Jelani." He said pointing to each one. "And these are my friends, Justin, Joey, Jc, Chris and Lance."
The two groups greeted each other, shaking hands.
"Your voice harmonized perfectly together. You guys are really talented!!" Johnny exclaimed.
"Well we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Justin." Rajin pointed out. "Yeah, I thanked him for that." Shane laughed punching Justin in his arm.
"Ohh is that what you call it." Justin laughed back. This caused a few raised eyebrows causing Shane's laughing to fade into a silent blush.
"If you guys ever wanted to do anything, call me." Johnny said quickly pulling a card out of his pocket for each of the guys."
"Really that would be so cool." Rajin smiled widely. "As much as I would love to talk about this, I have to clean up. I'll see you guys later." Shane said waving to the guys.
They started to leave, with his brother in tow when he called to them. "Hey where you going" Shane yell to his bros.
"Um to find a hotel." Jelani answered trying to avoid what he knew was coming. "Oh you don't have to you can stay with me." The group exhaled. "Besides, bro we got work to do."
"You know it's funny how he go from English to French so easily, we this and we that." Remy laughed.
"Please guys, I just want to get some sleep." Shane whined. "Ok but when we get home we have to talk." Jelani demanded.
"Deal" Shane gave in as they all started cleaning for some reason he didn't feel the tension and remorse, he thought he would if they were to enter his new life.
