Gay

****** Hey everyone I'm back. And I'm extremely sorry for the delay I have a really good reason too!!! I swear. Well my reason is that I had a wedding to go to in a city that's not so far from my house but far enough that I can't come home. Plus the weddings in my culture are three days long so I didn't get home until late Sunday night. Plus with school starting I've been EXTREMELY busy. Too busy to describe. Oh and can I share my problems with you all really quick. Well in last February I met this guy, He is soooo fine!! Right? And he's a year younger than me. Well I created a great friendship with him, while I secretly had a crush on him. I soon fell in love. Well in June we said our goodbye's and see you next year's. Well I basically pretty much found out he was straight. And I just kinda came out to him. And he's cool with it and all. So I thought that I would use the summer as a break from him and try to move on. And I was doing pretty good until I went to school last week to help with registration. And there he was looking twelve times as beautiful as before. And well my friend and I were walking to cross country practice and there he was standing half naked in front of me. Ahhhhhh I sooo need to get over him it's not funny. Anwyays I thought I'd share a lil personal story. And hope that he's reading. Like that'll happen. Oh and some special thank you's. Well just to everyone who reads!!! Thanks!! Oh!!! And KEN!!!! Did you get my last assignment??/ cause I haven't heard from you. And I accidentally erased the last message. So if you can contact me and tell me whether you got it or not, that would be helpful. Uhmmmmm anything I'm missing?? If so, Sorry!!!!

Story Recommendation: Well. You all have to stop what you are doing and check out JUST ONE CALL!! It's a JC and Justin story s you will all like it. And it's written by my dear friend Sarah!! You may know her as Chris' girlfriend in my story. The only reason I put her in was because she would not stop e-mailing me until I did it. haha Just kidding. It's a great story and I suggest it to everyone!! Now on with the story!!

Josh and Just 35

"OH MY GOD!!!!" Stacey screamed once again. Justin and JC sat up quickly and looked around quickly.

"Who's hurt? What's wrong?' Who's burning?" JC asked quickly rushing to his feet and looked around. He stopped once he noticed nothing was wrong and that Stacey was standing horrified in front of him.

"You and him. . . you and him. . .ew!" Stacey screamed as she rushed out of the room and into the hall way. She stumbled a bit but soon was able t walk on her feet. JC looked at Justin who stood up with a scowl on his face.

"I knew we should of left her in the hallway." Justin complained as he grabbed his T-shirt and slipped it on. He grabbed his glasses and slipped them on as well.

"Let's go." Justin said with a sigh as he went with JC after Stacey. The two walked out of their room and walked into the room that Stacey shared with Renee and Stefanie.

". . . And their together! They're gay!!" Stacey whine as she explained to two girls that had just woken up.

"Good for them. Now let me sleep." Stefanie said pulling the comforter over her head.

"Didn't you hear what I said? They are gay! Together!" Stacey said.

"Stace, we already know. If you weren't hanging on JC every moment and actually watched him while he was with Justin, you'd know that they were a cute couple. Now let me go back t sleep or I'll kick your ass." Renee said as she flopped back into bed and covered her head with a pillow. Stacey turned to the door way and saw JC and Justin standing their.

"Are you two serious? Or is it just a fling?" Stacey asked sadly.

"We're engaged." Justin said softly.

"What?" Stacey asked, not hearing the comment.

"We're engaged!!" Justin said much louder.

"Are you okay with this?" JC asked.

"Yeah, Yeah, whatever." Stacey said.

"Stacey we don't. . ." Justin started.

"If you want to know if your secret is safe with me, than yes it is." Stacey retorted rudely.

"Thanks, sorry about all this." JC said taking Justin's hand within his and starting to walk back to their own room.

"Now I have to try and break them apart." Stacey mumbled to herself as she walked into the bathroom.

"What did she say?" Stefanie and Renee asked each other as they took the blankets off their head.

"So how was your birthday sex last night?" Joey asked as he nudged JC.

"Non-existent." JC replied.

"Why? What happened?" Joey asked.

"Stacey got drunk and had to crash in our room." JC responded sadly.

"She didn't have to." Justin said as he walked into the room. JC and Joey had been sitting on Joey's bed talking while waiting for Lance, Chris, and Justin to get ready. Justin took a seat behind JC and rested his head on JC's shoulder.

"I wasn't going to leave her in the hall. Anyways. me and Justin went to asleep together not realizing that if Stacey woke up before us, she would catch us. And she did. Now she knows and she's all depressed cause I'm taken." JC shrugged. Justin's arms went around JC's neck while he buried his head in them. JC placed a small kiss on Justin's arm before hearing his cell phone ring. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

"Hello?" JC asked.

"Joshua why didn't you tell me that you and Justin were engaged?? I had to find out form your mother who just called me." Lynn said into the phone.

"Oh! Lynn I though Justin told you. He probably never got around to it. we've been busy, you were in Tennessee and then we went to Hawaii and then when we came back we had to get ready for the tour and all. I'm sorry." JC said into the phone. Justin released JC knowing that it was his mother. Justin took the phone from his fiancé and started to talk to his mother.

"Hey did you guys know that Stacey is outside freaking out about something about cute guys always turn out to be gay." Chris snickered as he walked into the room.

"She is going to be freaking out the whole time on this tour huh?" Joey laughed as he looked toward JC.

"Probably." JC shrugged.

"Hey you guys, what's wrong with Stacey?" Lance asked as he walked into the room.

"Looong story. Anyways are we ready to go to work?" Justin asked as he hung up the phone.

"What did you mom say?" JC asked softly.

"The usual, I'm too young to get married and that I shouldn't deal with this kind of stuff until later in my life. And that if this is what I really really wanted than she would support me." Justin said as he took a seat next to JC and placed his head down on JC's shoulder.

"I'm Sorry Just." JC said slowly taking his hand within his.

"It's okay don't let that ruin our day for us." Justin said as he stood up and pulled JC. to his feet.

Unfortunately, the guys did not have a chance to savor their days. Their European tour was quickly slipping by. They traveled from France, to Spain, to Italy, to Greece, to Austria, to Germany, to Poland. All these countries being visited in a little over one week. In every country the routine was the same. Joey was hitting the hot spot in the dance clubs in each country. Lance sat in his room going over the tons of paper work that had to be done and the schedules that had to be reviewed. All the while missing his ever-so-dearest Britney. Chris and Sarah battled their schedules to find some time during the day where they can share an intimate moment. Renee and Stefanie were reeling from jet lag after every flight. Stacey grumbled every moment of the tour about not being able to have JC as well as trying to find a way to save' him and bring him back to straightness. And the perfect couple was less then perfect within the last week. Justin and JC were constantly together, yet they could never share a moment. Not even a simple hug. They were always seeing each other but never could express their love. Even after the day was over and the night dawned upon them. Justin would come back to their hotel room, if they had one at the time, to find it empty. JC was constantly ambushed with work while producing Wild Orchid or thinking of new songs. When he did eventually get back home' he found Justin curled up in bed looking as if he had struggled to stay awake for him. And every night was the same. JC picking the book out of Justin's hands and placing it aside, taking the glasses off his beloved's face, snuggling into bed with him, and finally ending the day with saying `I love you' and not receiving one in return. The night draws long and cold while the morning starts a new day. This day Justin finds himself drifting awake when hearing a constant slow and steady thump. He opens his eyes and finds himself resting his ear on JC's chest, hearing his fiancé's heartbeat. Justin slowly pulled himself off and sat up in bed while propping himself up with his arms. Justin shifted his weight to one arm and used the other to rub his face and let out a small yawn.

"What country am I in?" Justin asked himself.

"Sweden." JC mumbled before turning in the bed and lay on his stomach. Justin gave a small laugh and patted JC's butt gently. Justin involuntarily let out another small yawn and laid back down in bed. He turned his head toward JC and found that JC's face was turned toward Justin, yet still full of sleep as ever. Justin leaned forward and placed a kiss on JC's nose. JC twitch his nose like a rabbit would and opened his eyes to see his angel, Justin in front of him.

"I don't want to wakeup like this, cause it's going to be hard to leave you when Lance comes through that door saying we have an interview or a recording, or dance practice." JC said softly letting out a yawn himself.

"It's almost over. Me, you and Chris head to L.A. and Lance will head to New York with Joey. And then we can go home and rest." Justin said softly, staring only into JC's eyes.

"I love you." JC whispered, inching closer to Justin's face.

"I love you too." Justin responded, just as quietly, before placing his lips upon JC's.

"Hey you two can I come in?" Tyler asked as he poked his head into the room.

"Yeah Come on in." Justin said as he pulled back from the kiss. Neither one of them moved as Tyler walked in and took a seat in a chair and started doing some paper work.

"JC? What's the last four digits of your credit card?" Tyler asked.

"Five, two, three, one." JC mumbled.

"Justin what's yours?" Tyler asked.

"It's the same thing. We're using the joint account. Unless you want our individual ones." Justin said groggily.

"No it's okay. I can use the same one." Tyler said.

"Ty? What are you doing?" Justin asked.

"Filling out the forms you asked me to." Tyler replied.

"Ty I know you're our assistant and all, but you can sleep later if you want. We're not getting up for another. . . " Justin lifted his head to look at the clock and then rested his head back down.

"Fifteen minutes." Justin finished.

"I know it's just that this tour is coming to an end and I just wanted to get everything done. After tonight you guys are going to be heading out. And then I'm going home and packing for college. So I'm just making the best of this summer." Tyler said as he continued to fill out the forms in front of him.

"Yeah well anytime you need a break from college of your parents. You can always crash with us." Justin offered.

"He can?" JC asked in confusion. Justin gave his butt a slap before smiling.

"Well okay you can always crash with me." Justin corrected. JC tiredly rubbed his ass he gave Justin a friendly glare. As quickly as he could. JC pounced upon Justin, his legs straddling Justin's waist and his hands pinning Justin's arms down. Justin struggled but was soon was worn down by the uselessness of his struggles. He looked back at JC tiredly as his chest heaved up and down. JC leaned down and placed a small kiss upon Justin's lips releasing his hands gently. As Justin fell victim to JC's powerful lips JC's hands moved to Justin's chest. Without warning JC started to furiously tickle Justin causing Justin to squirm with laughter. The two rolled around on the bed both half naked before finally stopping in dizzying. JC laid on his back while Justin laid right next to him.

"Okay now that you had your fun, can I have your social security number?" Tyler asked.

In a flash the boys had found themselves in a wave of business once again. Their mini-tour had come to an end and they group had broken up and flown to different places to do their own little thing. Lance and Joey headed to New York where lance was scheduled to be on MTV. Joey went along so he could visit family. Chris, Justin and JC had flown to LA Where they could make an appearance at the Viewer's Choice Awards. Wild Orchid had flown back to Orlando giving them a chance to relax from the strenuous tour. Tyler had gone back to Maryland where he began to make preparations for college. Though the group had broken across the nation, they were still connected by telephone. Justin sat in the airport terminal with a cell phone cradled in the palm of his hand while JC snoozed lightly on his shoulder. Chris was bopping his head to the sounds coming out of his headphones.

"Hello?" Justin heard the low voice ask.

"Lance! We came away with three awards." Justin said excitedly.

"Hey! That's great!!" Lance exclaimed.

"Yeah I know!! And I got voted the sexiest male! With Brit being the sexiest girl of course. We did this fake kiss thing, just to throw them off." Justin snickered.

"That's great!!" Lance said happily.

"Yup, How is the Free Lance Search going?" Justin asked, letting out a small yawn.

"It's going good. We finished taping today. And tomorrow Joey and I fly back. He says he bought something for all of us. I bet you it's something really Italian. Remember last time he visited his parents?" Lance asked.

"Yeah, he bought us all bottles of tomato sauce!" Justin replied with a laugh.

"I bet this time it's going to be parmesan cheese or something. We're a package of spaghetti shy of a pasta dinner." Lance joked.

"He's such s dork." Justin laughed.

"Yeah I know. Hey! I talked to Tyler today, he said he's dating some girl he's known forever. Some girl named Nina." Lance said.

"Really? Finally!!! I thought he was going to stay a loner like Joey. Oh! Speaking of loved ones. Brit says she loves you and she wants to have your babies." Justin claimed.

"Did she really say that?" Lance asked with a small laugh.

"No I added the `I love you' part." Justin joked.

"Dumbass." Lance laughed, hearing Justin's laughing.

"No seriously, she says that she misses you and she loves you and she'll call you as soon as she has a free moment." Justin said, stopping his laughter.

"I miss her too." Lance said softly.

"Okay well I can tell your getting all misty eyed on me so I'm going to leave you now. Bye Lance, we'll see you tomorrow okay?" Justin replied.

"Okay Bye Just." Lance said before hanging up. Justin nudged JC as he closed his phone, causing JC to wake up.

"Huh?" JC asked as he lifted his head.

"Oh Sorry. Baby. I didn't mean to wake you up." Justin said softly.

"It's okay, so what's up?" JC said releasing a small yawn. He placed his head back on Justin's shoulder and listened.

"Well Lance is fine, Joey said he bought us more stuff, and Tyler has a girlfriend." Justin summed up.

"Tyler has a girlfriend? Who?" JC asked quietly.

"Some girl named Nina." Justin shrugged.

"What!?" JC asked sitting upright.

"What? What's wrong?" Justin asked.

"Did you say Nina?!" JC asked.

"Yeah, What's wrong?" Justin asked.

"Is this a girl that he just met?" JC asked.

"No Lance said he's known her forever. What's wrong?" Justin asked starting to get worried.

"This Nina girl is not a good person for him to be dating. She is. . .well she's. . . she's messed up. She's been in and out of police stations since she was like thirteen. I don't like her hanging around with Tyler." JC said as he started to reach for his phone. Justin quickly placed his hand on JC's hand to stop his actions.

"Josh I'm telling you through experience. She may be a bad influence but if you tell him he can't see her. He's just going to go out and see her. He's an adult now Josh, not your baby brother that followed you around, fascinated by all that you do. He needs to learn for himself. If you tell him to not see her, he's just going to go out and o it, just to piss you off. So please don't do it." Justin explained.

"Justin this is my kid brother here. I'm not going to let him get into a bad crowd and throw all his talent away." JC protested.

"Josh listen to me. I'm his age. I know what he's going to. And I want him to keep his talent and be successful as much as you do. I love him too. But you have to trust him, you can't go and treat him like a kid anymore. He's an adult." Justin tried to say.

"Justin, I do trust him. But this girl is deceptive. She's seductive. Hell the only reason I've never fallen for her is that I love you. She'll take the trust I give him and stretch it to the limits. And my parents are too naïve to do anything." JC replied.

"Okay but be calm." Justin replied. With that Jc took out his phone and dialed the familiar number.

"Hey Ty?" JC asked.

"Hey Josh!" Tyler replied.

"I don't want you to see Nina." JC blurted out. Justin instantly smacked his hand against his forehead.

"What?" Tyler asked.

"I want you to stay away from Nina." JC repeated.

"Why?" Tyler asked.

"Ty, she's not good. She'll get you into trouble." JC responde.d He looked over at Justin who was shaking his head.

"Josh you found love, I haven't. Why don't you let me try and make my own decisions. Let me try to find my true love. And I really like Nina, Sure she's been in trouble in the past but she's changed." Tyler replied.

"Tyler Joseph Chasez, I don't want you hanging out with her." JC snapped.

"That's Dad's line, Not yours!" Tyler said. The next thing JC heard was the dial tone. He snapped his phone closed and looked over at Justin. Justin looked at him disapprovingly.

"What?" JC asked.

"Way to be calm." Justin said as he got up and walked to the gate entrance.

Chris tiredly stepped into the Justin and JC's house carrying his baggage. The night brought about a weary sense for the three as they stepped into the house. Justin tiredly carried both cages which housed Leo and Ozzie, their dogs, while Chris carried their baggage into the house. JC stepped in with the keys hanging from his mouth as his luggage hung from every part of his body. He dropped them all and took the keys out of his mouth. He walked into the kitchen and looked down at the answering machine. There was two messages. Josh hit the button for the answering machine as he heard the clamber of Ozzie and Leo's paws on the tiled floor of the kitchen.

"Hey JC, I don't know if Mom and Dad called you yet. I tired your phone and you had it turned off I guess. But we need you to get home as fast as you can. Tyler's gotten into an accident. He's hurt really bad Josh. Catch the next flight here please." Heather's voice was distraught as she left the message on the answering machine. JC froze in his spot and shut his eyes when he heard the message. He quickly started to rush around the kitchen for the phone while the second message played.

"Josh Sweety? Honey, Tyler has gotten into an accident. He's in the hospital now. Josh I know how close you are to him and he really needs your strength right now. Please Josh." The sound of his mother's voice cracking with sadness was enough for JC to run out of the kitchen and into the foyer.

"Josh What's wrong?" Justin asked noticing the sadness in his face.

"Ty's was in an accident. I need to get home." JC said.

"Oh shit. Okay JC, you and Justin get ready and I'll call the airport to get a charter plane to take you." Chris said as he rushed out of the room quickly.

"Justin, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have told him what to do." JC said sadly. Justin stepped over the luggage and enveloped JC in comforting hug.

"No it's not Baby. It's not your fault at all. You didn't know this was going to happen. Don't blame yourself." Justin whispered back. The two stood their for minutes holding each other, both concerned with the health of Tyler.

"Hey you two, I'll drive you to the airport. You have to go to the second runway and board as soon as possible." Chris said running into the room.

"Can you take care of the dogs?" Justin asked.

"Yeah no problem. Come on!" Chris said hurriedly.

Karen Chasez sat nervously in the waiting room of the hospital. Her daughter, Heather, comfortingly rubbed her back gently while she watched her husband pace in front of her. Heather looked from her mother to see her boyfriend, Tim, bringing in four cups of coffee. She gave him a small which he returned the same way. He kneeled in front of Karen and handed her a cup.

"Thank you Timothy." Karen replied hoarsely. He gave her a small nod before standing up and offering Roy Chasez some coffee. Roy had been nervously pacing back and forth, worried that he might lose a son.

"Mom! Dad!" The two heard the familiar voice and looked toward the entrance of the waiting room. Their in front of their eyes was their eldest son, Joshua. Behind him was their future son-in-law Justin.

"Karen stood up quickly and gave JC a big hug. The tears began to leak from her eyes as JC held her closely. Roy hugged both of them while they continued to embrace. As they broke their hug. Both Karen and Roy gave Justin a deep hug.

"It's okay Karen, Tyler is strong, he'll come through." Justin whispered comfortingly.

"Thank you Justin." Karen replied softly.

"Have you heard anything?" JC asked as he took Justin's hand within his.

"He's in Critical Condition right now. They say he's going to pull through but he is beaten up pretty bad." Roy explained. JC nodded still not understanding what had happened.

"Can we see him?" JC asked.

"Not yet. He just went in for surgery on his leg." Heather said softly. JC spotted his sister and quickly rushed to her side to give her a hug. The two broke their hug allowing Justin to give her a hug.

"All we can do is wait." Heather whispered.

It was late into the night. The Chasez Family had taken over the small waiting room that was near their son's appointed room. The family was sprawled out on the chairs that were lined up around the perimeter of the room. Roy sat in the chair giving his wife a half hug while holding her close. Both extremely worried about their youngest child who was due out of surgery any minute. Heather sat in the arms of Tim trying to get some sleep but was failing. Justin sat in the chair as JC laid on a row of seats next to it. Justin gladly received JC's head within his lap. He used this time to ease JC of his worries by running his fingers through his hair soothingly. JC shifted in his sleep constantly, each time sending Justin to rhythmically rub JC's shoulders. Justin sighed before looking at the clock which was right above the doorway. The sound of the someone walking up to the doorway brought his attention to it. He smiled as he saw the doctor looking over charts before peeking inside the room. Justin shook JC softly, while calling his name gently.

"Wuh?" JC asked groggily.

"Josh, The doctor is here." With that Karen, Roy, and JC stood. Tim began to wake up Heather. The family crowded around The doctor and waited for what he had to say.

"Okay I take this is the Chasez Family?" The doctor asked.

"Yes sir." JC replied nervously.

"Well Tyler has been out of surgery for about half an hour. You may at this time go see him. He will be a little groggy if he is awake at all. You may all go see him but we are asking that only two people stay with him." The doctor said.

"How is he doing?" Karen asked.

"He is fine. His body has taken everything we've given him. His leg is going to be fine. He dislocated his arm and his lower arm right here has made a clean break. The wounds on his head and abdominal have been stitched up and he is fine. He has had severe blood loss. So he will be weak for a couple of days, but since he is young the body will be fine." The doctor eased.

"Thank you Doctor." Justin said as he followed everyone into the room where Tyler was resting. Justin stepped in to see Tyler laying slightly upright on the bed. He had a bandage wrapped around his forehead. His arm was in a sling and his leg was in a brace. Tyler laid completely still on the bed as he rested to the steady beeping of the EKG. Karen began to sob silently. Roy buried his face in his hands while taking a seat. JC kneeled at the side of the bed and buried his face into the sheets as tears began to flow from his eyes. Justin stepped behind JC and rubbed his shoulders for comfort. Heather stood at the foot of the bed while gazing down at her brother. Tiny tears slid down her cheek as she watched his shallow breathing.

"I'll stay tonight." Heather offered.

"I'll stay too." JC said as he lifted his head from the bed.

"No Josh, you've been flying all day. You need to rest Sweety." Karen said, concerned.

"It's okay Mom. I need to be here. I owe it to Tyler." JC said softly. He rose to his feet and looked down at his brother sadly.

"Okay Josh, you be sure to call us if anything happens. We'll take Justin and Tim back to our house for now and we'll see you in the morning." Roy said. JC gave a small nod as he continued to look at his brother.

"Okay see you in the morning Pumpkin." Roy said as he gave Heather a hug.

"Goodnight Dad. Goodnight Mom." Heather said softly.

"Josh I'll have my phone on all night so if you want to talk to someone. Just call me okay?" Justin said as he wrapped both arms around JC's waist from behind.

"I will. Night Sweetheart." JC said turning around and pulling Justin into an embrace. Justin pulled back and gave JC a small kiss on his lips.

"Goodnight JC." Justin said as he gave a quick kiss to JC's chin.

"Justin are you coming with us in the car?" Roy asked.

"No we have gotten a rental car. So I'll follow you from behind." Justin said.

Tyler blinked his eyes open tiredly. He looked around the cloudy room and realized he didn't know where he was. He looked about one more time and saw a doorway where light was pouring in. He saw the silhouette of someone in front of the doorway. Tyler blinked a couple more times before opening them again and seeing the same image in front of him.

"Am I dead?" Tyler asked.

"You're not getting away from me that easily." The figure in the doorway replied. Tyler smiled when he recognized the voice.

"Damn! I thought this was my way out." Tyler said giving a small laugh.

"I have the worst brothers. They treat me like Shhhh. . ." Before Heather could finish a voice came booming in.

"Hey! Don't swear." Someone said. Tyler looked over at the voice and saw that light surrounded the male as well.

"My Daddy's name is Roy. Not Josh." Heather said as she ruffled his hair.

"Can someone close those stupid curtains. It's making it look like you two are angels or something." Tyler said as he squinted.

"Sure." Heather said as she ran over and closed the curtains. JC was sitting next to Tyler on the side of the bed while Heather ran back to her chair by Tyler's bedside.

"So Tyler how are you feeling?" JC asked as he placed his hand on Tyler's forehead.

"He got into a car accident Josh. He doesn't have a pneumonia or anything." Heather cracked.

"Well just checking. Anyways. How are you feeling?" JC asked.

"I feel like crap. My whole body hurts. Almost like the way my eyes hurt when I look at you two." Tyler joked.

"Listen boy! You came to the right place, because after I kick your ass you won't have to go far to get help." Heather said as she pointed a finger at him. Tyler gave her a goofy grin which caused him to grimace in pain. He looked up and found that his head was bandaged.

"Hello?" Justin asked as he poked his head into the room. JC beamed with happiness at the sight of Justin. Justin propped the door of the room open with his foot while he picked up something before using his butt to push open the door. JC and Heather saw that Justin was carrying a tray of coffee from Starbucks while he carried breakfast in a bag in his other hand.

"I thought you guys might be hungry so I got you guys some breakfast." Justin said as he placed it down at the small table in the room.

"Thanks Hun." Heather said as she fixed her hair into a ponytail. Justin walked over to JC and leaned forward to place a small kiss on his lips. JC responded by kissing Justin back.

"Good morning." Justin whispered as he pulled back.

"Morning hot stuff." JC whispered back.

"Morning Tyler." Justin said as he focused on the person laying in the bed.

"Hey Justin!" Tyler replied.

"Okay I got you some breakfast just in case you can eat it. If not I know JC will eat it. And I got Heather her Café Latte. And got Josh his iced coffee." Justin said as he took a seat on the bed next to JC. He leaned back further to look at Tyler.

"Thanks Justin. So where are my parents?" Tyler asked.

"Well when I was leaving the house. They were getting ready to go to church and pray for your safety." Justin said as he tapped Tyler's leg before siting up.

"Oh god!" Tyler said in disbelief.

"Hey I think it's cute. Leave em alone. They seemed really worried about you last night. Your mom couldn't get a bit of sleep last night and so me and Tim were up trying to ease her. She's doing fine, and'll do better when she sees you. So how are you feeling?" Justin asked as he stood and walked to the other side of the bed.

"I'm fine. A little sore but good." Tyler nodded.

"Tyler I'm sorry." JC said sadly. Tyler looked over at his brother and saw tears starting to form in his eyes.

"Josh it's not. . ." Tyler began.

"No Ty! I know what you're going to say. But it was my fault. If I didn't call you and tell you not to go out with that Nina girl then I you wouldn't have purposely gone out with her to piss me off. Justin warned em that you would do that but I didn't listened. I'm sorry Ty, and I'm sorry Justin for not listening to you. This is all my fault. I'm so sorry Ty." JC said as he the tears in his eyes began to flow freely down his cheek. Everyone stood in awe as they watched JC cried. And even when he did it was on a rare occasion. Justin quickly pulled JC' into a hug and started to rub his back comfortingly.

"Josh?" Tyler asked. JC looked up from Justin's shoulder and looked at his brother laying in bed.

"Josh come here." Tyler requested. JC slowly let go of Justin and walked to Tyler's side.

"Josh listen to me. You didn't do it. I did. I left because I wanted to go with Nina. I knew she was bad and I thought I could fix it but I couldn't. Yeah you called me and that made me mad but that was not the only reason that I left. You had no idea of what I was going to get into. If anyone should be sorry, it's me. I should have listened to you. I know you were only trying to help me. And I shouldn't have gotten all pissy with you. That's Heather's job." Tyler said adding in a small joke. JC cracked a smile and looked down at his younger brother.

"When did you become so smart?" JC asked as he ruffled Tyler's head.

"Well I learned from my big brother." Tyler replied. Justin smiled at the scene and looked over at Heather who was softly crying in happiness. Justin walked next to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"You guys don't mind me coming into the family right?" Justin asked breaking the silence that followed Tyler's words.

"Of course not." Tyler said loudly, before wincing from the pain he received.

"Good. Cause I love you guys." Justin said as he pulled Heather into a hug.

"Justin!!! My hair!!!" Heather said pushing Justin off.

"Heather you slept on the small couch. Trust me. Whatever Justin is doing, it's an improvement." JC cracked.

"You know I don't want Justin in the family. That means one more annoying brother to deal with." Heather complained. JC, Tyler, and Justin began to laughed as Heather sulked in her chair.

TO BE CONTINUED. . .

***** Okay everyone I know that this one was REALLY bad! I know it! Cause I rushed while writing it. And I just skimmed over it. Once I got myself into the tour I found out that I cannot really write love scenes and still keep up with the time period. Especially when I'm sooo busy. SO I hope you guys and gals don't hate it. Cause I tired to make it some what romantic and touching towards the end. So feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!! CYA!
