Hola! I SO SORRY! I have had many computer troubles in the past couple days which has prevented me from writing. I also have a new computer now that I do not have to share with anyone else so I had to get it set up to my liking. I had to download winamp and winzip and some other stuff and set up all my preferences and then I had a report for school that was due today. So here I am. I am writing this Wednesday afternoon and I will finish up after work so it will be posted Thursday, May 4, 2000. Which for those of you that have been living under a rock is Lance's birthday!
Ok, for those of you that hated last chapter I am sorry. Even I am a little disappointed in it if you must know. I was having an absolutely horrible day when I wrote it and I think it reflected in my writing ability. So this chapter will be better I hope! Thanks for everyone that e-mailed me! Erin is a boy everyone! I am so sorry babe I made that mistake! He is a hottie too!
Ok, So if you have questions, comments, complaints, suggestions, anything! e-mail me, I love e-mail! My e-mail address is spifty214@email.com. Also, can you be a little specific. Sorry, I am not complaining but specificness is always good. I love this, I am using Works 2000 to type this and it underlines all the misspelled words...Ok, I am good now, now let's get the legal crapola outta the way!
LEGAL! I make no claims to the sexuality of any member of `N Sync or anyone else. This is completely fictional. If you are under 18 or if it is illegal for you to read this then just go away. This story has homosexual themes and sexual situations in it.
So know...on with the show!
Lonely Lance...Chapter 7
"Alright Lance, I think we do." Steve said quietly.
"Not here though, we need to get out of here, just trust me ok?" Lance said a little paniced.
"Why not here, here is fine." Steve commanded angrily.
"Because I will have 3 pissed off guys here in about a half hour." Lance responded
"What do you mean? I thought they all went away." Steve said
"They did, JC drove somewhere, I can't remember where, Joey went to Justin's with Justin which isn;t too far from here. As soon as JC calls them they will be here and they will seriously want to beat you. I have seen them do it before too. It isn't a good thing." Lance said still upset.
"Alright, fine, where do you want to go then?" Steve annoyingly asked.
"Just away from here. I dunno, I will drive." Lance said.
"Are you going to be ok driving?" Steve asked, trying not to sound too caring.
"Yeah, I will be fine. Thanks for asking." Lance said
"Yup, i am not in the mood to die tonight. Go figure. What about Chris?" Steve asked
"He is probly falling asleep. As soon as he does we will go, either that or we can just get out without him seeing us. Either way, we gotta get going Steve." Lance said quietly
"Ok, I understand. It's 11:25 now. When do you want to go?" Steve asked
"Now. Come one, make sure you grab your jacket and stuff. My car is in the garage. Be quiet." Lance said as they headed downstairs. They saw Chris asleep at the kitchen table. When they reached the garage there were 2 cars. Lance had a 4wd jeep thing and he had a 2000 Mustang in Black.
"Which one are we taking?" Steve asked looking at the cars.
"The Mustang." Lance said as he pushed the button that opened the garage door. He took the keys out of his pocket and shut the car alarm off and unlocked the doors. Lance walked to the driver side door and opened it and got in. Steve did the same on the passenger side. Lanced started the car and the radio started playing the Savage Garden Affirmation CD. He immediately peeled out of the driveway and down the street away from the house. He closed the garage door as he exited the driveway.
"Lance, Please don't drive so fast. I don't think 90 is legal on any residential street." Steve said as he held on to the handle on the door.
"Sorry, I will slow down. I need to get to the expressway." Lance said as he decelerated. They traveled maybe 10 miles down a deserted rural road when they saw headlights going in the opposite direction. "Shit, those look like Justin's headlights. Hopefully they won't notice us." Lance said with a shaky voice.
"Yeah, I barely know them, this is great, they don't even know me and they want to kick my ass. So what the fuck did you tell them to make them want to kill me?" Steve said sounding angry.
"I told them what happened. They got pissed at you." Lance said.
"Why the fuck would they get pissed at me? Ya know you stupid ass, you are the one that invaded my privacy. I didn't go through any of your shit. I didn't read your e-mail. All I did was fucking come over here for a social outing when you go and pull this shit. If anything they should be pissed at you. Not me." Steve said, at first just angrily then he started to yell. "I have absolutely no idea what your problem is. Grow up!"
"Would you shut the hell up. That was them that just passed us. I don't think they noticed us or they would have turned around. Now I am gonna get on the expressway. Please calm down." Lance said as he took the expressway north. It was now midnight. Steve fell asleep as Lance drove. As lance drove, the song Crash and Burn came on from the CD. He looked over at Steve lying there peacefully. How could any of this have happened he wondered? Things were so much different 24 hours ago. I feel like I have something right now. This is so sudden. He looks so beautiful. I blew it. This is like love at first sight and I blew it! At that Lance started crying. HE couldn't hold it in. He kept driving. Steve slept the whole night. Something he hadn't done in forever, he had good night of sleep the other night, but he woke up during it. He was awoken sometime after seven by a cell phone ringing. Lance was still driving. Steve didn't make any sounds though, he wanted to hear who it was and what was going on.
-
"hello" Lance said
-
"DON'T FUCKING HELLO ME LANCE, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU? DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?" JC yelled
-
"I have just crossed the Mississippi border and it is a little after 7." Lance calmly said as he yawned.
-
"What the fuck?" JC Demanded
-
"I am going home for the weekend ok?" Lance said
-
"No it's not ok, everyone has been worried sick about you. We came here at midnight last night and you weren't here and neither was your Mustang. And there is a Durango in the driveway that Chris said is Steve's. Where is he?" JC questioned
-
"He is asleep in the passenger seat. He has been since midnight. We had some words and he went to sleep. He has no idea where we are going." Lance responded
-
"You stupid mother fucker. We are mad at the wrong person. He didn't do anything wrong did he Lance?" JC angrily asked.
-
"No, JC, He didn't." Lance quietly said.
-
"God Dammit Lance. What the hell are you doing?" JC yelled
-
"Huh?" was all Lance said.
-
"Look what you are doing. You have took our publicist out of the state, against his will. You spied on him. You got four of your best friends mad at him for absolutely no reason than for us to feel sorry for you. God Lance, you are such a Fuck up! I considered you my best friend. I use to look up to you. Now I look down upon you." JC said angrily
-
"My four best friends?!?! Don't even say that! I have really needed someone in these past couple months, Hell, in the past couple years, but do I have anyone? HELL NO! So don't even say you were my best friends!" Lance yelled into the phone.
-
"That's just it Lance, you needed someone, you need a guy. Sorry but we aren't fags...Sorry, I didn't mean it to sound like that. What I meant to say is that you need someone to love, someone that loves you in return. You have friends, you need someone who is more than that. None of us can be that. You know that." JC said in a calmer voice.
-
"Yeah I do. It's just so hard JC, you don't even understand. You go around getting laid all the time. You go and get girlfriends all the time. You have that, I don't. Yes, I'll tell you this, I did have someone once in high school. Ok? Me and that person were together the whole summer between Junior and Senior year. I loved him! It didn't work. I loved him, but I didn't get that feeling. But I do when I am around Steve, I feel safe, I feel safe, I feel warm." Lance said, calmly
-
"Ok Lance, a couple problems right now. One thing is that he hates you right now, you do realize this I hope?" JC said
-
"Yes I know that." Lance said
-
"OK, number 2, he doesn't know that you are gay. So if you want anything to happen there he kinda needs to know. Number 3, you just met him yesterday. And of course the obviou...." JC Said as Lance interrupted.
-
"Uhm JC, please don't start with the being in *N Sync crap. It really is unnecessary. I know it will be tough to do anything. Look I am sorry JC, but really, I am gonna go. It's almost 8 and I think that I could be home by 10 if I am lucky. I will talk to you later. Please tell the guys everything and that I will explain it all later. ok?" Lance asked.
-
"Roger that. You owe me big Lance. You have gotten yourself in a huge mess. I am here for you. I am pissed at you but oh well. Get things cleared up with Steve, and remember, our flight on Tuesday to finish those two songs. I am going to get everyone home and we will try and enjoy our vacation. I don't want to hear from you until Monday night or Tuesday understand?" JC said in a motherly voice
-
"Yes, I understand." Lance said.
-
"And I want to have good relations with Steve, fix it! I don't care what you do but I want everything to be normal again. Only this time when you come back you are going to be in a good mood and not a shitty mood! OK?" JC asked
-
"Yes, I understand." Lance said getting annoyed.
-
"I am so serious Lance. If he gets fired over this you are going to have some problems of your own. Well with that said, I am gonna get heading off, I will cya soon." JC said.
-
"Bye Bye, thanks Josh." Lance said.
-
"Later, no prob." JC said as he and Lance hung up. With that Lance set the phone down on the floor and kept driving. Steve heard the entire conversation. He was furious. He didn't know what to think. So many thoughts were running through his head. At 8:30, Steve finally spoke.
"Lance, where the hell are we?" Steve asked Lance
"Mississippi." Lance said monotonously.
"Mississippi, ok, and WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING IN MISSISSIPPI?" Steve yelled at Lance.
"Look Steve, please don't yell at me, we need to talk. This is the best place to do it. Please just trust me Steve, I know you have no reason to trust me. I am so sorry, If you do not accept that I understand. I just need to talk to you. ok?" Lance said quietly. Steve was in total shock, how the hell was he supposed to be mad at Lance, James...Jimmy, he had such deep green eyes, his eyes had a sad expression.
"Ok Lance, I have no idea what is going on but ok, I will trust you. I do not accept your apology though. I need this job. I need to get along with you considering I will be seeing you almost everyday and living on the same bus as you. You and the rest of them. Now where are we going?" Steve asked somewhat annoyed.
"We going to the cabin my parents have. It's nice and quiet and it's in the woods. It isn't gonna be bad cause this is the winter. If it was summer we would get eaten alive by mosquitoes. Are you hungry?" Lance asked after a brief pause.
"No, I am not, I want to get this over with." Steve said. After that was said they spent the next hour in silence. Dead silence. There was no radio. Nothing. Finally they arrived to their destination. A pretty nice cabin in the middle of nowhere. It was 10:00. They sat in the car for a minute, neither one making a move. After a few moments, Lance turned his head an stared at Steve. Steve could feel the eyes gazing into the side of his head and he turned his head toward Lance, expecting Lance to turn away, but he didn't. Lance's green eyes met Steve's mesmerizing deep blue eye's. They sat like that for maybe 5 minutes.
You can learn so much from a person by staring into their eyes, getting lost into each others eyes. They say the eyes give you a view of the soul, they had that accomplished. Not a word was said now, not a word was needed to be said. Lance gently intertwined his fingers with Steve's on left right hand. Slowly they both moved in, tears running town each of their faces. Not tears of pain, tears of joy, tears of love. Steve moved in closer, gently wiping the tear from Lances face with his right hand. He caressed his cheek. Lance moved in further. They were eye to eye, lip to lip, slowly Steve moved in, causing his lips to gently touch Lance's. Lance wrapped his left arm around Steve, Steve wrapped his right arm around Lance. Here they were, arm in arm, hand in hand, lip to lip. Slowly they started a deep passionate kiss...
TBC...
Well there ya go. After all the negative installments, chapter 7 is positive. You will have to wait till next chapter for the rest of this event, the kiss. Lots more to come. After listening to Savage Garden over and over I had calmed. I was gonna have a car crash but that wouldn't have been good. So a happy episode for Lance's Birthday! HE's 21!
