Shaking the thoughts from his head Justin placed the wallet in his pocket and headed down the hallway. He didn't want to think about it, but then it was all he could think about. What was wrong with him. He was young this should be happening.
"Took you long enough" said Chris smiling as Justin caught up to them.
"I had to use the John" said Justin irritated.
"So, you gonna tell me what's eating you" said Chris.
"Who said anything was eating me. Am I not allowed to have a bad day. You know it's not easy being me, having everyone in your face 24 hours a day. Sometimes I just need to be away from everyone" said Justin.
"Ah, so your tired of seeing my ugly mug" said Chris smiling.
"Yeah, I'm tired of your ugly mug, among other things" replied Justin hoping to end the conversation.
"At least your mug is uglier than mine" said Chris as he took off down the back corridor.
"Your gonna get it for that one" said Justin running after him.
"Slowly sticking his head out the door Chris's eyes scanned the parking lot for suspicious activity. Looks like the coast is clear" said Chris turning to everyone.
"Not for you it isn't, you little rat" said Justin.
"Rats smell, I do not smell, therefore I am not a rat."
"Yes you are. Well maybe not a rat but you do smell" said Joey smiling.
"What is this. Pick on Chris day. I will say it again. I, do not smell" said Chris.
"Ha, your just used to the smell" said Joey.
"So, what's wrong" said JC placing a hand on Justin's shoulder.
"Why does everyone keep asking me that. Their's nothing wrong. Can we just drop it" said Justin.
"Justin. I've known you longer than any of them. I know you well enough to know when something is wrong" said JC.
"It's, I can't talk about it. It's too..."
"Too, what?"
"Embarrassing." said Justin.
"Embarrassing was walking in on Joey and Lance having sex. Trust me, nothing can be more embarrassing that that" said JC.
"This is" said Justin frowning.
"Maybe you want to talk to one of the other guys about it" said JC.
"No, they would never...God I don't even know if I can say it"
"Hello, the limo is waiting are you guys getting in" said Chris.
"Look, we can talk about this when we get to the hotel if you want" said JC.
"Hey, watch it. Your crushing an important body part here" said Chris as Justin climbed over him.
"Important? You have to use it for it to be important" said Lance smiling.
"Important for what, target practice" said Joey laughing.
"That was low" said Chris.
"How low, can you go" said Lance.
"Can we talk about something else. Hey, you know I think I've figured out what your problem is" said Chris.
"Not that again." said Justin frowning.
"Just listen. I think you problem is lack of sex" said Chris.
"Lack of sex" said Justin nervously.
"Lack of sex. He's probably getting more than all of us" said Joey.
More than all of them. He couldn't even turn himself on much less anyone else.
"You need a man in your life. Someone to spend the rest of your life with" said Chris.
Rest of his life. Their was only one person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with and that person could never know. Stepping out of the limo Justin hurriedly rushed through the service entrance. He should never have said anything to JC, never agreed to talk. Perhaps JC would be too tired, perhaps he would forget. What was he saying this was JC. JC never forgot anything. No he had opened his mouth and now their was no way out of telling JC about his little problem.
"Slow down, their are no fans. No one is going to recognize us. We'll let the other guys get to their rooms and then we can talk, ok" said JC.
"Yeah, I'm just going to go change first" said Justin.
"Sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite" said Lance.
"Yeah, yeah. Look, would you two actually try and sleep tonight. It's getting a little old listening to the two of you go at it every night" said Chris.
"So you listen huh?" said Joey
"I don't have to listen. Anyone could hear the two of you" said Chris.
"You know you could always join us" said Lance smiling.
"You are so disgusting" said Chris.
"You know you would be a lot happier if you would just admit your gay" said Joey.
"I'm not gay. I'm straight. S t r a i g h t, straight."
"Hey, whatever you want to keep telling yourself" said Lance.
Pulling on a pair of sweats Justin sat down on the bed and frowned. What had he gotten himself into. How was supposed to tell JC, his closest friend, the guy he...How could he walk in their and tell him that he, Justin Timberlake couldn't get aroused.
"J, you dressed" said JC.
"Umm...yeah."
"I hope you don't mind I thought I would just come down here."
"No, it's ok" said Justin.
"So, out with out. What is this problem of yours" said JC.
"Josh you've got to promise me you won't laugh" said Justin.
"Whoa! You haven't called me Josh since our Mickey Mouse days."
"Promise me, please" said Justin.
"Why would I laugh. Your my friend, I want to help" said JC.
"I...This shouldn't be happening."
"Whatever it is, it's going to be ok. Now tell me what's wrong" said JC.
"It's, it's about sex" said Justin turning his attention out the window.
"Sex, you want to be a little more descriptive" said JC.
"I, God this is so hard."
"Just take a deep breath."
"I can't have sex. I mean I, I can't get aroused" said Justin
