Chapter 1
As I slid underneath the silk sheets, I reached over to his side. The coldness and emptyness reminded me that once again, he was gone on tour. He had been gone for 5 months of a 6 month tour. I only saw him when he did his concert in Orlando. But, even then we didn't have any time together. As I laid in the bed, thoughts of the summer we fell in love came to mind.
~~~~Flashback to 1998~~~~
"I'll be there in about an hour in a half, Justin. I can't wait to see my cousin and his band...."I said as I was driving down the freeway on my way to Orlando to meet my cousin, Justin Timberlake, and 4 other people in his new pop band.
I was anxious to get there for 2 reasons. First of all, of course, to see Justin. Second of all, to see JC Chasez. I always hung around the set of the Mickey Mouse Club, and I always had this huge crush on JC. But, I never told him. I couldn't. He was going out with Nikki DeLoach. What could I do, right? We were friends, but it never grew into anything more. I didn't feel anything for him now, but I couldn't help feeling butterflies in my stomach.
"Hey, Justin, when's Emily gonna be here?" JC Chasez said as he thumbed through a magazine.
"Any minute now. I can't wait to see her again," he said as he anxiously peeked throught the blinds.
"I remember her always hanging around the set. She was a cute kid." JC said, his eyes fixated on the magazine.
"Kid? She was your age, remember?" Justin said.
"Oh, yeah. Didn't she have a crush on me?" JC said.
"Crush is an understatement. She was sprung on you. How come you never went out with her?"
"I dunno. She just wasn't my type....."
Suddenly, a car pulled up in the driveway.
I pulled into the driveway of the Timberlakes'. I took a quick look at what I was wearing, and got out of the car. Justin ran out and gave me a hug.
"Justin!" I said. As we walked in, JC was still reading his magazine. "Hey, Emily's here.." Justin said as he closed the door.
Jc looked up for a second, looked back at his magazine and then looked back up in shock. I had changed since MMC. I lost 20 pounds, at least. My braces were off and I got contacts. My gross frizzy hair had been straigtened and bleached. I was finally pretty.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't JC Chasez." I said.
He couldn't stop staring.
"What, you like what you see?" I said in a flirty voice.
Justin gave me this look like, "You go girl!"
"Um, hi...Emily. How are...you?" he said as his eyes roamed my body.
Justin noticed this, and quickly yelled, "Mom, Emily's here!".
Aunt Lynn walked in with Steven.
"Oh, is this Steven? He's so cute!!!" I said.
JC jumped up. "Yeah, aren't kids great?"
"I wanna have 1 or 2, at least.." we both said at the same time and laughed at the irony of it.
"So, I thought this was a BAND. Not a duet. Where are the other guys?" I said as I plopped down on the couch.
"Out shopping or something..." Justin said. Something was digging into my side.
"Ow," I said as I pulled out a Superman doll for the couch.
"Oh, is this Jonathan's?" I asked as I looked at the action figure.
"No, it belongs to Joey....a guy in the band.." JC said as he sat down beside me and we laughed about it.
"So, I haven't seen yall since the Mickey Mouse Club. So, you keep in touch with them?" I asked.
"Some people. Britney and Christina have solo albums coming out next year. And, Nikki's in Mom's new band, Innosense," Justin said.
"So, tell me about yourself." JC said as he hit me with his killer smile.
"Whatcha wanna know?" I said.
"Oh, just stuff.... Like, favorite color, favorite song, GOT A BOYFRIEND?"
I smirked. One of the things I love about JC was he was so obvious.
"Blue, One Sweet Day, and no..." I said.
~~~~~~end flashback for a second~~~~~~
I got out of bed, and looked at the moon hung in the sky. He was somewhere entertaining screaming, shrieking girls, and I was here alone.
~~~~~~~flashback on! (sorry, I couldn't resist)~~~~~~~
That night, I went upstairs and put on my new sundress. It was sooo beautiful. I bought it in California the previous summer, but I had only wore it once. When I went downstairs, the 5 guys were watching TV. Luckily the stairs were in their plain view. As soon as I stepped onto the floor, all 5 of them looked up in well, shock.
"What are you so dressed up for?" Justin said.
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to see what Orlando can offer me,"
"Oh, I'm sure it can offer you a whole lot.." Jc said.
I walked over to him and whispered, "Is that a proposition?"
I walked over by Justin and wrapped my arms around him as he did to me.
"My little cousin...." I said.
"I'm not so little anymore....."
"Whatever you say..." I said as I smiled.
"So, what's Alex up to?"
"Um, well, she's coming in about a week. She's still working out stuff with her loser boyfriend."
Justin looked up at me. "Loser boyfriend? Who is it, Brad?"
"Uh, no, that was last year's loser boyfriend. This year it's Tim. He is such a jerk......she should just dump him and get it over with. She treats guys like clothes. Tim is 'so last season'...." I said with annoyance.
"I sense a little sibling rivalry on the horizon..." JC said as he smiled.
"A little?" I said as I smiled back. "Well, I'm gonna go. Anyone want to come with?" I asked.
"I will...we'll take my car....." JC said.
"Oh, my car isn't good enough for you, I see...."
"Shut up and get out the door...." he replied.
"Justin, your friend told me to shut up...." I said in a childish voice.
"Kids, no fighting..." he said as his eyes were glued to the TV. I shrugged before I walked out the door with JC.
