"Yes, that is sorta why I told him to stop!" Jc smiled thinking of how he had caught Justin's flirtyness. "He reminded me of Joey."

"Hey, I resent that!"

"No you don't you big liar!" said Lance who looked up from the paper as he said it.

"Ok fine maybe I don't but still." Joey was trying not to smile.

"Alright stop everybody!" Chris was bored and wanted something to talk about. "Jack, why are you here? I mean I don't think this is a Holiday Inn so you obviously aren't here by choice."

"Chris, let's talk about something else. What did Johnny say when you told him I was here."

Chris was confused, but didn't want to ask anything because he knew something was up. "He was ok with it. I mean he hopes you get better soon and that we're lucky the tour was over otherwise this would have been hell!"

~*~*~*~ At the dinner ~*~*~*~

"Oh my god! That really happened?" Ali and Justin had just about finished their food and were waiting until the orders for everyone else came.

"Yup, she actually stole the sandwich out of my hand and her friends bolted right after her. And it was early and I really wanted that sandwich man!"

"Well, I can't help you with that!"

"I know, but that was so weird."

"You should be used to fans being nuts I mean you're so famous and all."

"You're a fan and you're not nuts."

"Oh you'd be surprised how nuts I can get. One time Jack and I oh wait no never mind it is too embarrassing."

"No you can't do that it's too late now you have to tell me."

"Oh really is that a rule somewhere?"

"Yes it is as a matter of fact. So dish it girl."

"Oh goodness, ok well at our school there were dances every Friday night it was like a club sorta thing. Well the DJ from that had known us since 8th grade when he DJ-ed there so he knew how much I loved you guys."

"I do not see how this embarassing."

"Well just wait. So during last summer he came to the pool to DJ there and Jack had told him to dare me to prove my love for you guys, so he did. He told me to preform from the top of the diving board in my suit. Well I climbed up to the top started dancing and singing I mean I looked hilarious ok? Well afterward I dived in and when I got out people were still laughing and I assumed it was because of my preformance, but I was wrong."

"What happened."

"Well, Jack he untied my bathing suit tie and my top had come off."

"I can see how that is pretty embarassing the dancing and the exposure."

"I wish that had been the end of it, but since I am such a die-hard fan I played it off because I had a press-on tatoo of you guys on my chest and I was like ‘since I dont need to hide my love for *nsync'. Well the police came and escourted me out of the pool without my top. Jack had to run after and explain and give me my top. I sa w the officer the next day because he was talking to us about DARE I think. I was in the front row. He laughed as soon as he saw me."

"Ok, you are nuts. That's just another reason why I like you so much. I'm sorry that was out of line we just met..."

"That's ok I like you a lot too."

Justin was about to reach out for her hand when thier take-out order came and he was interuppted. I cannot believe I did that. I'm glad she likes me too, but I should not be doing this not now. She is not in the right place to become involved. Who knows what's going to happen to Jack. I don't know what will happen all I know is that I am really attracted to her. She is so beatiful and fun.

Justin is so wonderful. I mean I know him through being a fan and seeing him on tv and stuff, but I have never seen Justin like this before. He's so sweet and entertaining and he really wants to find out stuff about me. I wish I haden't meet him like I did. All I know is Jack is going to be gone soon and so is Justin, I cannot get attached he'll be leaving just like Jack. Ali tried to hold back a sob, but she couldn't.

"Are you ok?" asked a concerned Justin.

"Yea, I'm fine I just have the hiccups." She held her breath as though she was trying to get ride of them. She picked up one of the bags and walked out the door with Justin at her side.

~*~*~*~*~ In the Room~*~*~*~*~

"Where are they I'm sooo hungry!" whined Chris.

"Oh will you be quiet. They will be here soon enough." Said Lance.

"Jc, how did you do that to your leg?"

"Well Jack, it was a very simple accident."

"Simple oh come on you broke it in two places!"

"Ok, ok I was showing off basically on the jet-ski and I fell off, as I was falling my leg banged the ski itself."

"That's ok. I mean at leats you got hurt bravely. I mean you took a risk. That sounds like fun!"

"I guess so. I didn't think of it that way." Jc had some pride back now.

"Oh look what you did Jack! Now you filled up his ego!" Chris said trying to sound upset, but not doing a very good job of it.

"What happened Chris?" Asked Justin who had just walked in with the food."

"Oh thankyou food Godess thank you." Bowing down to Ali who was laughing hysterically.

"Hey, don't I get any prasie?"

"I'm not going to bow to you. Without Ali we wouldn't have any food."

"So, what did you all talk about while we were gone?"

"Nothing much Ali-girl." Jack knew immediatly he should not have said that.

Jack used to call Ali that right after she lost her parents in the accident. He did it because it comforted her from the thought of death. He didn't know why he had said it. I guess the thouhgt of him leaving Ali from this world had had put the name in his head.

"Jackers what did you just call me? Why, why would you s-s-say that." Tears were forming in her eyes.

"Ali-girl I'm sorry!"

"Stop! Don't say that to me!" With that she ran out of the room.

"What was that about?" Asked Lance.

"We have to find her." Jack said frantically he was really worried about her.

"I'll go. Chris will you come too so I can stay with her incase she doesn't want to come back?" Justin said. Chris nodded in agreement. They were out the door and on their way to find Ali.
