The Society Boys By Connor Matthews

Chapter 60 - Somebody to Love

Colin, J.P., Kyle and I headed down to Robson Street as Colin said he wanted to get some new clothes. I love shopping on Robson. It has some of the hottest stores anywhere. It's like the Rodeo Drive of Vancouver. Of course you can't go down there looking like a slob so we all dressed up and made ourselves look amazing. I added bling and made sure I was fabulous. Colin looked even hotter but then he'd look hotter even if he was naked. Kyle decided to make J.P. his project and the two of them came out looking like Abercrombie models. It took forever as he went through the closet trying to find the best look. Geez, living with Kyle was like living with a dozen drag queens. (You thought I was going to say women weren't you? Give me women any day!) We were finally ready and took the car into town. We would normally walk, but if I knew Colin we would need a bus to come back with all the shopping. We parked just a block off Robson and I walked hand in hand with Colin up the street to the good stores. Our first stop was Boys' Co. They always had the hottest sales people, and their clothes were good too. Last time I was in there the salesman was incredibly helpful. He kept coming into the change room to help me. His hands were inside my pants more than mine were. Nothing fit properly as I had a hard on the entire time, but I still spent $600. This time the salesmen seemed more professional. We picked out some stuff, and after purchasing it, Colin asked the guy if he could just keep it behind the counter and we'd pick it up later. He gave us a tag for it. I didn't even know that you could do that. J.P. couldn't believe how expensive the stuff was. Even at half price the jeans were $350. Kyle picked out a shirt for J.P. which he made him try on. I had to admit it looked amazing so I bought it for him despite his bitching that it was insanely priced. He insisted we could but a small country for the price of the shirt. I think he was exaggerating, but I'd Google it when I got home. As we went back outside something was happening as the cops had blocked off each end of the street.

"What's going on?" I asked Colin.

"Dunno." He replied. I looked around but didn't see any other emergency vehicles or parade or anything, but the fact that the road was closed was attracting a lot of interest as people were wandering into the middle of the street.

"Maybe they just shut the street to make it a shopping mall on the weekends or something." I suggested as we wandered across to the other side. Music began to play from speakers around us. "I knew it! They turn it into a street party. Cool way to get more people downtown." The song got louder and they were playing Lady Gaga's `Edge of Glory'. It seemed to be coming from speakers all the way down the street and it was getting progressively louder. I turned around to look in case a parade was coming or something. A few people enjoyed the song as much as I did, as they were dancing in the middle of the street, then more joined them.

"Oh my God!" I squealed at the guys. "I think this could be a flash mob." I've always wanted to see one up close. Get your camera out and record this." I was now singing along with Gaga! I was on the edge with her alright. On the edge of peeing myself.

"I left the video camera in the car," said Colin. "You guys wait here and I'll run and get it."

"Okay but hurry. Kyle, record it on your phone until he gets back." I told him as I was trying to sing along.

"I'll go with you," offered J.P. and the two guys ran off towards the car.

As each verse changed, more and more people joined the dancing and they were all in unison at the end of the street. Kyle pulled me to the start of the street to get a better view. He was as excited as me and tried to copy their choreography. He was actually pretty good.

"You should join in," I told him. He just smiled and shrugged. As the song ended the street was at least half full and tons of people were watching. They were attracting quite a crowd. No wonder the police were there. A second song began and it was `Teenage Dream' by Katy Perry. Whoever was running this mob at least had good taste in music. Kyle was dancing along to the song and doing a pretty good job of matching the mob that had started up again. I never knew how flash mobs worked. Did just a few people start it and then others randomly join in, or was everyone in on it? It seemed a little unlikely to me that this many people could get together and plan to dance at random in the middle of the street. The moves seemed pretty simple and if I knew how to dance, I might have joined in. Kyle was certainly getting the hang of it, but wasn't interested in leaving my side.

At the far end of the street I could see someone dragging something into the middle of it. As a few people climbed on it, it was some sort of a makeshift stage. This was turning into a big production.

The mobsters had now pretty much filled the street. This was fascinating to watch and I couldn't imagine how much work it would take to get that many people to dance in unison. Some people were walking up the centre of the street with their video cameras trying to get the best shots. Kyle and I were right at the front in the middle of the street, and I wished Colin would hurry up as we had perfect a spot for filming. I looked to see if I could see him but the crowd was way too big. Where the hell had all these people come from so quickly? I hoped the organizers would post it on You Tube so I could see the overhead shot. A third song began and it was `I Gotta Feeling' by the Black Eyed Peas. Now that's a toe tapper. A perfect flash mob song. Kyle started to pull me forward into the crowd, but I figured we better stay where we were, otherwise Colin wouldn't be able to find me. The dancing was incredible. It was like synchronized swimming without the water. They did all sorts of fun moves that looked like it had been choreographed by Cirque du Soleil. You pay big money to watch shows like this and it was happening right in front of us. I remember the Flash Mob they had done for the Olympics right here in the same spot and it wasn't anywhere near this level of professionalism.

As I watched and tapped along with the music, the crowd in front of me parted and another group headed up the centre of the street. Kyle pulled the video camera out of his backpack. "Shit. Colin's gonna be pissed at you." I laughed, but thankful that we could record the thing now.

I looked around for Colin and J.P. as they were still missing it. Four guys ran out and dropped a red carpet in front of us. I almost had to jump back as they barely missed my feet. Then they began to unroll it up the street. I started to move aside as I figured someone was going to walk up it in a minute and from where I was standing I'd be blocking them. As I turned to move, Kyle ran up the middle of the carpet and joined the crowd of dancers. Oh well, if he got lost he knew how to get home. Then my heart stopped and my knees almost buckled from under me. A smaller crowd coming to me in the center of the street, dancing in unison, were all my friends. They were being led by Kyle and walking up the middle of the red carpet. Alex, Jason, J.P., Cole, Logan, TJ, Brandon, Billy, Kevin, Chase, Randy, Jake, Forrest, Jared, Aaron, Brody and Troy.

What the fuck was going on and how come no one had told me about this, and since when could Jason dance? They came up and grabbed me by the hand and danced back up the street taking me with them. The whole way, the crowd danced and parted in front of us like the red sea. More red carpet was rolled out ahead of us and when we got to the stage, my friends stopped. The music changed again and this time it was Justin Bieber's `Somebody to Love'. Well if you gotta play a Bieber song, this was my favorite. A powerful spotlight was turned on and aimed into the sky which of course caused me to look. The crowd raised their hands and pointed towards the sky where the light was aiming. Over the top of the building, in what could best be described as a floating platform (but was probably a crane of some sort), came a person flying towards us. The platform was halfway down before I saw that person on it was Justin Fucking Bieber singing his own song. He was actually in front of me live at a flash mob. As he moved, the mobs pointing arms followed him as he came towards us. The song ended as Justin got to stage level and then he froze. Everything went completely quiet. It was almost as if someone had hit the mute button on the world. I looked around to see what was going to be next and went to ask the guys, but they were still holding their hands out pointing at Justin Bieber. Maybe they were too stunned to move, just like me.

Then it hit me; no one was moving except me. The flash mob had turned into a freeze mob. I wondered if now would be an appropriate time to run up and kiss Bieber. I may never get this close to him again. At the very least I could go and grope a few cute guys, or maybe take their wallets. I looked down the street and all I could see were thousands of people all pointing at the stage and the long line of red carpet.

Talk about a weird feeling. I'm in the middle of a giant crowd who look like they've all been frozen in time. I felt like I was on the planet by myself. I shuddered a bit. Then from the side of the stage someone moved. Colin walked out dressed all in black wearing a tuxedo. He summoned me to join him and I almost ran up there, glad to be away from the eerie feeling. He began to talk and his voice was amplified over all the street speakers. I almost tripped over Bieber as I ran onto stage and I was sure that I could feel a hardon beginning. I wasn't sure whether to look at Justin or Colin. As I got to Colin, the crowd slowly lowered their arms in unison and stood at attention with their hands behind their back looking at us.

"Justin, like the song says; I just need somebody to love. Since you came into my life, you have shown me what it truly means to be in love; you have such a big heart that I can't imagine a day without you. You mean everything to me and I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I wanted to do something to show you how much you mean to me and how much I love you. Of course, I also realized that I better give you something to make sure that I could tell you apart from others in your family." Someone laughed in the crowd. Colin got down on one knee and reached into his pocket. I was sure I was going to throw up. He held a small box and opened it. He lifted it to me.

"Justin Masters will you marry me?" Tears were streaming down my face and I was stunned. The entire crowd was standing silent and it felt like it was just the two of us. I looked at the ring in the box and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. It should have come with sunglasses. In the middle was a large blue stone with lots of shiny diamonds around a silver band.

I nodded and squeaked, "Yes." I said. He stood up and hugged me. He took the ring out of the box and took my left hand to slide it on my finger. The crowd became unfrozen and started cheering and hollering. Then my parents came onto the stage from behind us and hugged me. My friends, led by Jason, J.P. and Alex got on the stage and congratulated me too. The music started up again with Lady Antebellum's `Need you know', except that the Bieb's sang it. Colin took my hand and led me off the stage to the middle of the street where he danced with me. The flash mob joined in and it was like a waltz of a thousand. This made my prom look like a backyard tea party. Once we finished the song, someone on stage announced that we would be having a street party and everyone was welcome. Bieber congratulated me and gave me a guy hug before he was taken away by his entourage. I wanted to follow him for more than a hug, but since I had just agreed to marry my boyfriend, perhaps now wasn't the best time to lust after someone else. But come on, it was Bieber!

Music blared for a while and we danced and enjoyed the food and drinks that had shown up as the stage was replaced with several kiosks on wheels. This was well coordinated and I noticed at the far end of the street more kiosks had arrived as well, not to mention the many restaurants on the street were probably serving drinks and food too. This was turning into a hell of a party. As it wound down, Colin took me to the end of the street and we climbed into a horse drawn carriage which took us slowly home. How romantic. I felt like an idiot riding through town in it though. I leaned against Colin the whole way home, and part of me was hoping that the horses wouldn't poop. That would take the romance out of it.

Colin told me that the house was ours for the night as the others were staying elsewhere. The house had been dimly lit and candles were burning all over the living room. Soft music was even playing. Champagne and strawberries were waiting for us on the coffee table so he popped the cork and poured us a glass. We shared them and lay back together to kiss.

"You really did all that just so you could ask me to marry you?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yep, it's been a work in progress for months. I can't tell you how many times you almost caught me. From the ad in the paper when I was looking for a flash mob, to the incident when you tracked us all to BC Place."

"Wait, you mean all those times you were at BC Place, you were planning this?" I asked feeling like an idiot for feeling ignored.

"Yep. The crowd had been preparing for months and doing all sorts of dances. Then you came home and saw the guys dancing. They told you they were doing the high school musical."

"So is there a High School Musical or not?" I asked slightly disappointed as I wanted to see Kyle perform.

"Not!" He laughed.

"Bummer," I grinned. "So what would you have done if I had said no?"

"Really hadn't planned on that, but it would certainly have slowed the party down a little. From the way you looked at Bieber, I thought you might say no and run after him." He laughed.

"Was I that obvious?" I smiled as I leaned against him on the couch.

"Only to me baby, only to me. But I wouldn't have blamed you."

"Never. Well, maybe not never. If you had just been throwing a party, I'd already be balls deep in that boy, but under the circumstances, I'd rather be here with you than with anyone else in the world."

"Awww, that's so cute of you, and you're such a liar!" he laughed as we took sips of our Champagne. I giggled and kissed him.

"So are you going to make love to me or just get me drunk first?"

"Well, getting you drunk was plan B if you said no!" he chuckled and stood up. He pulled me to my feet and we hugged tight against each other as we kissed. It was the most passionate kiss I've ever had. He was no longer my boyfriend; he was my partner for the rest of my life. Colin wanted me and only me. I was special. One of a kind. Not one of three. I kept kissing him as tears ran down my face. He looked at me and smiled, and wiped the wetness from my face as held me close.

"Come on, babe. Let's go to bed." He took my hand and we went to the bedroom together. He slowly undressed me down to my underwear and I did the same thing to him. We pressed against each other as we stood by the side of the bed and kissed, feeling our warm bodies touching. Then he slowly lowered me onto the bed and followed me down until he was lying on top. We stayed like that, kissing and hugging for an eternity.

Eventually he pulled off my underwear and removed his so that we were naked together. We explored each other as if we'd never seen each other naked before and made love like it was our first time. I thought that I had experienced everything I could with Colin, but this was a whole new feeling. As he entered me his cock kissed my insides all the way in until I moaned in extreme pleasure. He thrust in and out as pushing every button I had until I couldn't hold on any longer and came all over myself. Colin felt it and sent his baby makers into me at the same time. He pulled out slowly and then licked down my body cleaning up every bit of my juice. He even sucked my cock to squeeze any drops out that he could. He dried me off with a towel and we went into the bathroom and had a bubble bath together. We hardly ever did that anymore so it was awesome to sit between his legs and lean back against his smooth chest. He wrapped his arms around me and we just lay together with our champagne glasses and talked.

"You have made me the happiest guy in the world today, Justin. I know that it has been an emotional day for both of us, but I want you to know that it is just a small part of how I feel about you. After my accident, I made sure that I changed my will. Everything I have and everything I own will be yours if anything happens to me as I want you to be safe and comfortable forever. I also don't want a prenuptial when we get married. That's how serious I am."

"I don't want your stuff, Colin. I just want you," I said turning to look at him. "If I didn't have you, all the money and things in the world wouldn't make sense. Plus we should have a prenup. You might try to get my half my underwear collection if you got sick of me." I grinned.

"Never. But you realize that once we're married, you have to stay naked all the time anyway."

"So how's that different from now, exactly?" I laughed.

He leaned in and kissed me and I felt his cock rising and pressing into my back. I grinned and reached around for it and began to stroke him. We made love again in the bathtub, although it definitely isn't as romantic or easy as it sounds.

We got out of the bath and strolled back to bed and curled up with each other. "Good night husband to be." He said as we settled down to sleep.

"Good night wife to be." I giggled. He thumped me in the kidneys and we rolled around on the bed tickling and wrestling until I yelled `uncle. I fell asleep so far beyond happy that they haven't invented a word for it yet.

In the morning, I was woken up by two cute guys carrying tray of food into the bedroom for us. I had no idea who they were but if they were burglars, they were the friendliest ones I have ever met.

"Good morning honey," said Colin as we sat up for our breakfast in bed.

"Will we be having breakfast like this every morning, `cause if we are, I could get to like this."

"If that would make you happy, we could have all meals in bed!" he laughed as he fed me one of the strawberries from his bowl of fruit. We finished the meal and put the trays on the floor beside us and made love again. It was a bit strange when I had Colin on his back with his legs over my shoulders. The guys returned to the bedroom to pick up the trays and had a front row show to my cock inside my boyfriend. The old me secretly hoped they were going to join in, however the new me... who the fuck am I kidding, the new me wanted them to join in as well, but instead they just took the trays and left. I finished with my morning love making session and we lay down together and fell asleep again.

The next time we were woken up was by Kyle who strolled in and sat down beside us. "Congratulations guys," he said leaning in to kiss us both.

"So when are you going to get married?" asked Kyle.

"Not sure yet, as we haven't actually talked about it. But it'll be special when we do," said Colin.

"Well when you guys decide a date, just make sure you let me know, as I'm sure you will want me to move out so that you can be together," said Kyle.

I looked at him as if he were kidding. "Kyle, you're part of our strange little family. This will be your home for as long as you want it. Neither of us will ever ask you to move out, sweetie."

"No shit, Kyle. That's so cute that you'd think we'd want this whole place to ourselves," grinned Colin as he reached up and pulled Kyle between us. "No way you get rid of us that easy numbnuts. We love you. Plus you're the only one of us that owns a truck, which is very useful for hauling our shopping."

He grinned and lay on the covers between us. "Oh, so you just want me for my truck?"

"Hell no, we want you for your ass too!" I laughed as we turned on him to attack. He giggled, and without conviction tried to stop us from stripping him. In fact I think the more he squirmed the more he was removing his own clothes. By the time we got him naked, he was so hard precum was forming pools beneath him.

"So you want him first, or should I go?" Asked Colin as we discussed Kyle.

"I dunno. I don't mind sloppy seconds and long as you don't use all of him up. Maybe I can fuck his face if you want his ass."

"I kinda like his mouth. Maybe you should go first and I can fuck his face."

"I'm not sure. I'm kinda worn out from last night. Maybe we should just go back to sleep."

"That's not a bad idea, but he is hard already and it would be a shame to waste it," said Colin continuing the banter.

True. Perhaps we can just lie down and let him fuck us one at a time," I suggested grinning at him. "Do you want to go first?"

"I think you should go first, since I got fucked already this morning."

"Seriously? Are you two going to be like this from now on, or are we just going to have sex?" complained Kyle as he sat cross legged and watched us back and forth as we talked about him. He faked a pout and waited.

"He's got a point. We're being very indecisive. Maybe we should do rock paper scissors to decide," I smiled. "one, two, three." We both did paper.

"Oh, c'mon!" said Kyle as he stood up as waved his cock at each of us. "Kyle, get that thing out of the way, we're trying to decide who gets to use you first, and I can't see Colin's hand. One, two three." I said again and we both did paper again just to piss him off more.

Kyle decided not to wait and ripped the covers off and jumped on us. He took Colin's cock in his hand and went down on mine. He played back and forth as we lay there getting hard. Then he grabbed the lube and sat on Colin's cock as he kissed him. After bouncing on him for a while, he moved over to do me. It was the Kyle show and he just kept going until he made both of us cum. Then he stood up and shot his load, first at my face, then at Colin's.

"I guess from now on, I'll decide who goes first!" He laughed and ran to the bathroom. We raced after him and had a shower together.

"Oh, I guess I should have mentioned, the gang is waiting downstairs for you," he giggled as he jumped into underwear. We put our own shorts on and went down after him. Jason, Alex, and J.P. and Troy were playing pool.

"Finally! We thought maybe we were going to have to send out search and rescue," said Jason.

"They couldn't decide who was going to fuck me first. They're definitely acting like an old married couple," giggled Kyle.

"I'm not sure that's how old married couples act, Kyle," said Alex chuckling.

"So we have one day left before J.P. heads home and we should make it a good one," I suggested. We sat for a bit and thought about how to make his last day memorable. Kyle suggested we all take turns having sex with him. Figures, but then I would have suggested the same thing if I wasn't engaged, or if I'd thought of it first.

Our first plan was to go rent a boat and take a cruise around the harbour, then we would end up at the club tonight for J.P. to say goodbye to everyone as it would be busy. All the guys suggested that they stay at the house tonight so we could all go to the airport in the morning. We picked up Aaron, Cole and Logan, along with Forrest and Jared to join us on the boat cruise. Forrest wanted to know if he needed a lifejacket and if he should wear white like a sailor. He was reminded that you never wear white after Labour Day to which he blushed and felt foolish. Even straight people know that. He was in danger of losing his platinum gay card for that faux pas.

While we were out on the water, Troy was clamped to J.P. in case he fell overboard. "Justin, can I ask you something?" Said Troy when it was just the three of us.

"Sure, what's up buddy?"

"Umm... would you be pissed if I said I wanted to go to Montreal with J.P.?"

"No. A little surprised maybe, but not pissed. You mean you want to move there?"

"No silly, I just want to go for a couple of weeks to hang out with him. He's gonna teach me lots more French and show me Montreal. He said I could live with him so I wouldn't have to stay on the street or anything, so I'd be safe and stuff."

"Troy, it's your life. You can do whatever makes you happy. I think it'll be good for you to have some adventures of your own."

"Umm, I guess you should make sure you don't pay me for that time though. I have saved up some money already from the stuff you gave me so the rent is okay and stuff."

"Don't worry about that. You need to make sure you have money when you're in Montreal. I'll look after the parking lot and your apartment if you trust me to check on it."

"Of course I trust you. With all you've done for me, I hardly think you'd steal my things," he smiled as he threw his arms around me. "Thanks Justin."

"No need to thank me Troy, just make sure you keep in touch with us in case you need something and when you're ready, we'll send the plane back for you."

"Umm, can I ask you not to do that? I'm sure it's expensive. Maybe I could just borrow money to catch a regular plane home. I've never been on one before and I think it might be fun." I smiled at him and realized that despite being exposed to all the things we had, Troy was still hanging onto his core values.

"Just call a couple days ahead and I'll book a ticket for you and send the info to your phone."

"Okay. Thanks again!" He grinned and ran off to tell everyone. Kyle came running over to find me almost immediately.

"Troy's moving to Montreal?" he looked crushed.

"No, he's just going for a couple weeks with J.P.," I said to reassure him.

"I don't think so. I think Troy is in love with J.P. and wants to be his boyfriend. You know how he was around me and how easily he fell for me. Now he's doing it with J.P. They've been having regular sex with each other. Please don't let him go."

"That's a little selfish isn't it? You don't want Troy as a boyfriend and if he really does want J.P., shouldn't we let them be happy? I know you're good friends, maybe more than friends, but he deserves someone to love him and if that's J.P., I guess we have to let it develop."

"I guess, but why does he have to go to Montreal?" Kyle genuinely looked more upset than I'd seen him in a long time. I put my arm around him and held him close. Troy bounced up and asked if Kyle was okay. I explained that he was just sad that he was leaving.

"I'll stay if you want, but I promise I'll be back in a couple of weeks. I'll even give you the key to my place so you know I'll come back. All my stuff is here." He said as he got in on the hug. "Kyle, you're my best friend and I could never leave you."

"What if J.P. becomes your boyfriend?"

"I don't think he would, plus I can't live in Montreal. I hear it gets cold and snows there in the winter. I'd die if I had to live outside there," he reasoned in a typical Troy manner. "Can I get my job back when I come back?"

"You're only going away for a couple of weeks, Troy. The job is yours no matter what."

"Cool, `cause I like that job. It's fun."

I smiled. Only Troy could get excited about handing out parking tickets. Aaron came over and saw us all hugging, so he got in behind Kyle and hugged as well.

"GROUP HUG!!" Yelled Troy as we all held onto each other. The others came over and before long all 12 of us were in a giant embrace. It was kind of funny, but eventually we broke apart and talked about other things.

I was going to miss Troy even if it was for just a short while, but I would probably be pretty busy. After all, I had to start planning my wedding. I wasn't really into one of those big crazy traditional weddings; I wanted it to be unique and special and possibly something to top the flash mob proposal. The only thing I could think of immediately was to rent the international space station, but that was just my first idea, I'd have others as time went on.

After the cruise we had dinner and went home. Aaron, Forrest and Jared had to go home as they had school the next day and couldn't stay all night. They said their goodbyes with hugs and kisses. The rest of us got ready to go out to the club so that J.P. could say goodbye to everyone he gotten to know. Kyle and Troy wanted to stay at the house to hang out together and said they were also going over to the apartment to get stuff for the trip.

Once we got home after the club, Colin recommended that the three brothers sleep together in the main bedroom and he would sleep with Alex, while Kyle and Troy had already fallen asleep together in his room.

"I'm going to miss you J.P.," I said as we were in bed together.

"Me too," said Jason.

"Me too," agreed Jean Paul.

"We will have to video chat and hopefully we can get together a lot." We all felt pretty bad and none of us wanted to part company. It had taken us 19 years to find each other and we really didn't want to split up now, but circumstances required it. At least we would always be brothers and with the plane, we were only 4 hours apart. We didn't really have sex together during the night, but we were definitely close and stayed that way all night.

In the morning, I got up first and grabbed something that I had picked up for Jean Paul and jumped back in bed, waking the other guys up.

"J.P., just so we can stay in touch, here's a present from Jason and I that will help you keep in touch." I handed him the wrapped gift and he sat up to take it from me. He opened it to see that we had bought him a new IPhone and Ipad.

"The phone is ready to go, and we're taking care of the payments on it." I told him.

"I can't accept these," he said looking at us in disbelief. "I didn't get you anything and I'd feel a bit stupid taking them from you."

"Bro, you took three weeks off work to get to know us and I realize that you didn't have any money coming in during that time. It's a little selfish on our part too you know. This way we ensure we can stay in touch without you having to worry about it."

He leaned over to hug us and his eyes were a bit red. I felt the same way and I knew we were about to have a tear festival as we got closer to saying goodbye. The three of us hugged and held onto each other until we realized that we were going to have to get moving. We showered together for the last time and went down for breakfast. Kyle and Troy had already been up for a while and had cooked a bunch of stuff for us. It was kinda cute as they were both in aprons, just aprons and their asses were hanging out. They were both so adorable together.

Despite that bit of levity, breakfast was a subdued affair as we prepared to head for the airport after Colin and Alex surfaced and joined us. The limo showed up on time and we all piled in. I snuck an envelope of money into Troy's bag with a note on it for him to use it for things in the next couple of weeks including food and to help out Mary and J.P. I also told him to buy lots of souvenirs and fun stuff and not to beg for money as he didn't know the people out there. I signed it as a gift from Kyle, Colin, Jason and myself, and wished him a great trip.

At the airport, I was really in tears despite telling myself that I wasn't going to cry. I almost jumped on the plane with them, but I held onto Colin as they walked away. Jason was feeling pretty much the same as he held Alex. Kyle wasn't very happy either as Troy vanished into the plane, so I wrapped my arm around him and pulled him close.

**Author's note. I wrote this chapter a long time ago probably just after Justin and Colin got together, but held onto it until the right time. A few weeks ago Howie Mandel did a flash/freeze mob his TV show `Mobbed'. Bummer, as I thought it was a pretty original idea. I'd seen flash mobs and freeze mobs before but never both together. Maybe I should have added planking...lol. Oh well, more chapters soon. outinwest@gmail.com
