Placing the cell phone in his pocket. JC felt a wave of nauseaness rush over as he stood up. "Not here, please this can't happen here" JC thought to himself.
"These pants are too clingy, look at my butt" said Chris.
"I'd rather not" said Justin.
"Nice of you to finally return" said Chris looking up as JC approached.
"Sorry, I had to make a quick phone call" replied JC.
"Ok guys, I got the preliminary schedule on my desk this morning. You have Leno on the 14th, the today show on the 18th, then Rosie the 19th. We're still working out a date for the Today Show. Do you guys have any questions?" asked Johnny.
"I'm not going on live TV in these pants" said Chris.
"they look nice, what's wrong with them" said Johnny.
"Look at them they cling to my butt" said Chris standing up.
"What, Mr.. million dollar man doesn't want to wear clingy pants" said Johnny smiling.
"No, I do not want to wear clingy pants. You know your our manager, your supposed to be looking out for us."
"I'm sorry I guess I'll have to do my job better. JC, can I talk to you for a second" said Johnny as everyone filed out.
"Sure" replied JC.
" Are you feeling ok, you look a little pale" said Johnny.
"I think I caught a bug or something on the plane" said JC.
"You should see a doctor, have them check you out. I can give you the number of my doctor" said Johnny.
"Actually, I already have an appointment with my doctor" replied JC.
"Let me know what they say, you know you guys are like family to me, I worry about you" said Johnny.
"Thank's, I will let you know if it's anything serious" said JC.
"Hey, are you hungry, we were thinking of heading to Alfonso's for some lunch" said Lance.
"Sure, I'm starved. Just let me change out of these duds and I'll be ready" said JC.
"Welcome to Alfonso's would you like smoking or non-smoking?" asked the hostess.
"Non-smoking, would you happen to have a table in the back" said Lance.
"Follow me" replied the hostess.
"Man, I am so hungry" said Joey. "Ok, who's pager is going off" said Lance. "It isn't mine" replied Chris as he pulled the pager from his pocket. "It's mine. I need to make a call, I'll be right back" said JC.
"You want us to order for you?" asked Joey. "Yeah, I'll have a burger" replied JC.
"Mommy, look" said the little girl staring at Justin. "Rachel, turn around and eat your vegetables." "But mommy, it's..." "Rachel" said the woman sternly "It's ok" said Justin smiling at the little girl. "I got your cd" said Rachel. "You do" said Justin. "She knows all the words." "How old are you" asked Justin. "I'm six, but I'm going to be seven soon" said Rachel.
"Lighting a cigarette JC stared aimlessly at the ground as he listened to the ringing of the phone. "Hello?" "Hi" replied JC. "My receptionist said you called is everything ok? Josh?" "I'm not feeling too good" said JC. "You want elaborate on what's going on said Dr.Eaton. P>"Not over the phone" said JC. "We need to get you in as soon as possible. The office closes at four, I could see you in a hour" said Dr. Eaton. "That's fine" said JC. "Hey, why don't we do something fun after this, we could hit the go-carts" said Justin. "Sounds good to me" said Joey. " Maybe I should go check on him" said Lance. "I'm sure he's..., there you are" said Justin. "You burgers cold" said Chris. "I like them cold" said JC smiling. "We were just talking about going go-carting after this" said Justin. "I have something to take care of, but you guys go ahead" said JC. "It wouldn't be any fun without all of us.
We can just go another day" said Justin.
"Hi, can I help you." "I'm here to see Dr. Eaton" said JC. "You must be Josh, come on back. Dr. Eaton your patient is here" said Julie knocking on the door. "Come on in" said Dr. Eaton. "Do you need any help?" "No, I've got it, thank you. So you want to tell me what's going on." "The pills, they've stopped helping. I can't breathe, I have no appetite" said JC. "Have you been taking them regularly " said Dr. Eaton. "Everyday. My throat has been sore too" said JC. Your lymph nodes are probably swollen, it's pretty common. I want to run some tests, check your cell count. I can know more then" said Dr. Eaton. "Do you have to take blood again said JC. "We do this every time, you should be used to it by now" said Dr. Eaton. "Fine, just get it over with" said JC frowning. "We won't know anything until we get the results back" said Dr. Eaton. "How long will it take?" asked JC. "Probably a few days. In the meantime I want you to go home and take it easy. No straining you throat, which means no singing" said Dr. Eaton.
