Chapter Three
> *A few days later*
>
> Becca made herself as busy as ever. She missed N SYNC, but
she understood
> why she left. JC would try and call her but she would either be just
leaving
> or not there. Becca decided now would be the best time to get
up early. She
> knew JC was gonna try and call her so she left bright and early.
While Becca
> was out avoiding JC, Abby received a phone call,
>
> "Hello" Abby said cheerfully. She always did get hyper in the
morning.
>
> "Yes, may I speak to Abby Morgan?" A strange voice said.
>
> "This is she how may I help you?" She suddenly got nervous.
>
> "This is Lou Pearlman, I think Lance Bass told you I would be calling"
He
> said. He revealed his whole plan to her. An evil grin
spread across her
> face. This is exactly the type of planning Abby liked.
She knew Chris would
> have loved this. They must have really wanted Becca to come
along, to play a
> cruel joke on her. She thought. But, she still didn't
know why they wanted
> her to come along. Now all Abby had to do was play right into
Lou's hand,
> and she would get to go on tour with N SYNC!
>
> "Becca? It's Lou. I've finally caught you!" Becca
was speechless. She
> honestly didn't think she would ever hear from Lou again.
>
> "Did something open up, Lou?" She asked. Talking to Lou
made her
> uncomfortable. Lou told her about the 5ive. She didn't
know that 5ive was
> opening for N SYNC. She immediately accepted. She loved
playing piano for
> anyone.
>
> *When Lou called Becca*
>
> "Becca? It's Lou. I've finally caught you!"The guys were
sitting on the
> couch when Lou dialed a number. After the word "Becca" The
guys ears perked
> up.
>
> "Yes, something did. We would like you to play for 5ive" A
smile crept
> across Lou's face.
>
> He turned to the guys "She said yes" All of the guys were happy and
talking
> about her return. Except for JC, he didn't know what was gonna
happen next.
> He did want her back on the tour, but he realized he didn't know
how to act
> around her. He needed to be alone. So he went to Practice
Room "A" just sat
> there with his head in hands. Ever since she had returned,
his life had been
> turned
> inside out. Why didn't this happen when I moved? I missed
her, but I didn't
> feel like this.
>
> "What's wrong? I thought you would be celebrating with us,"
asked a voice.
> He stood up to find Lance standing there. He always could sense
when
> something was wrong.
>
> "Lance, don't get me wrong, I want Becca on our tour more than anything,
but
> I don't know how to act around her now." Lance didn't know
what to do next.
> He just knew JC wanted to be alone. So he wanted to go find
Abby. Abby
> could tell him if something was wrong with Becca.
>
> "Knock! Knock!" Someone was knocking on Becca's door.
>
> "Coming!" He knew that couldn't be Becca. She always
asked who it was.
>
> "Hey Lance. What are you doing here?" He grabbed her
arm and started
> explaining.
>
> "Hold on Lance, let me lock my door." She laughed. Lance
laughed along with
> her.
>
> "So what should we do next?" Lance asked Abby. She shrugged.
She knew what
> Becca was going through. "OK spill it, you know something I
don't know,
> Abby, listen my best friend is going through the same thing.
We can help
> them. You can help them. We can't help them unless you
tell me what you
> know" Abby broke down into tears. She felt Becca's pain.
Knowing she
> couldn't do anything.
>
> "Lance, when Josh left, he hurt her terribly. He was her support.
JC
> wouldn't return any of her letters. He was her support.
So she started
> dating this guy named Jeff," Jeff! This rang a bell in Lance's
head.
>
> "He started to get really possessive about everything. She
broke it off, and
> that's when everything terrible started happening." A new set
of fresh tears
> came out. "So you see, she hasn't had good luck with men after
Josh left.
> Then when she saw him again she got scared, nothing is going her
way right
> now"
>
> Lance thought this would be a good time to take Abby home.
Why didn't Becca
> tell me any of this before? Lance thought. This isn't
her fault, Lance.
> This is something she couldn't tell us. She dropped Abby off
and went over
> to Chris, Justin, and JC's house.
>
> "JC can I talk to you, man?" Lance said. Breaking JC away from
his stare out
> of the window.
>
> "Oh yeah, sure Lance" He said. As he followed him into the
kitchen. Lance
> motioned for him to sit down. He sat down.
>
> "OK, now give me a straight answer, how do you really feel about
Becca?" JC
> was completely surprised when Lance asked him, he didn't think anybody
had
> noticed.
>
> "I don't know. Lance, I just don't know" He said.
>
> "Oh I think you do know, JC you just don't want to tell anybody that
can
> help!" Lance exclaimed.
>
> "Listen Lance, She's not your ex-girlfriend, you don't have to watch
her go
> and party with other guys, you don't know what it felt like when
she quit!
> You don't know what it felt like, because she quit because of me!!
So just
> leave me alone!!!" JC screamed. This got the guys attention,
the stood up
> and made there way to the kitchen.
>
> "Is everything, OK here?" Justin asked. JC couldn't look
at Lance so he
> left not saying a word.
>
> Justin went up to Lance and said, "What did you do, man?"
>
>
> *2 months later*
>
> "I can't believe it, Becca! We are going on tour with 5ive!"
She screamed,
> while jumping on her bed.
>
> "Well, if we don't hurry up, we're not going on tour with them!"
Becca
> retorted. Abby knew not to mess with Becca when she had her
mind set on
> something. Neither one had met the guys in 5ive. They
were anxious though.
> She knew N SYNC was going on tour around this time she was gonna
miss them
> though. She didn't have time to say good-bye to the guys, and
if she did
> call them they were either busy or not there.
>
> "Becca and Abby!" Lou screamed.
>
> "Lou!" The girls screamed back. The guys in 5ive looked
rather confused.
>
> "Oh I'm sorry Becca and Abby this is, Scott, Ritchie, Abs, Sean,
and Jay,
> guys this is Abby and Becca" Lou said forgetting they hadn't met.
>
> "That's nice but who are they?" One of the guys said, Becca
couldn't tell
> which one it was but it was the blonde one, she thought it was Ritchie.
>
> "Geez! I am forgetting everything today. Becca's your
new pianist, and she
> brought Abby along." Lou said slapping his head. Becca noticed
something odd
> on their facial expressions.
>
> "OK all of you, why can't I be your pianist?" Becca asked.
>
> Sean answered, "We just expected someone a little bit older," He
said.
>
> "Well, I'm flattered you think I'm young." She started to answer.
>
> "Knock! Knock!" Is what interrupted Becca.
>
> "We're here!" A very familiar voice answered.
>
> "Come in" Lou said. Becca shot Lou a look that said, "Why'd
u have to do
> this?" Just then N SYNC came in the door.
>
> "See everyone's turning on me, my best friend tricked me into going
on tour
> with you guys, you were all in on it to, weren't you?" They nodded.
"It all
> makes sense now, is that why no one talked to me when I called?"
Chris
> nodded. She went around to each of them and gave them a hug. She
felt a
> little odd hugging JC bug she did it anyway. The guys in 5ive looked
even
> more confused. Lou explained to them about how she used to tour with
N SYNC.
> JC felt just as odd when she hugged him, but he didn't want to let
go.
>
> Lance shot him a look, "Are you sure you don't know?"
>
>
> His look back said, "Yeah, I'm sure" Both groups (and Abby) knew
that there
> was something special between Becca and JC. So one day both of the
groups
> decided to do something about it.
>
> "Isn't there a way we could get JC or Becca jealous?" Joey asked.
>
> Abs replied, " Well since Becca is a girl, we could get one of us
guys to
> date her."
>
> Scott said, "I'll do it, she's pretty and besides it couldn't be
anyone in N
> SYNC because of JC." They all knew if that was what it would take
then that's
> what they would do.
>
> *After the meeting*
>
> "So what do you guys do all day long when your not performing?" Becca
asked
> curiously.
>
> Jay replied, " Well, what did you do while you were with N SYNC?"
>
> Abby came to the rescue, "She didn't ask you about N SYNC, she asked
what you
> did" Becca just shot them a look that said "Forget it"
>
> Scott came in in and saw no one talking so he asked Becca if
she would like
> to go to dinner with him, she reluctantly accepted. She extended
the offer to
> Abby and the rest of the guys, They declined. Abby thought, That
boy moves
> fast. She thought, well that was odd. She made herself promise that
there
> would be nothing between her and Scott. She knew in heart that there
couldn't
> be anybody else then JC.
> They walked off of the bus and out into the hotel lobby, so they
could find
> Lou.
>
> *Meanwhile*
>
> "Come on JC, I'm hungry!" Justin whined. He wasn't really hungry,
but he had
> to get JC down to the lobby. If Scott had done his part of the deal,
which
> Justin knew he did, he would have to hurry. He wanted JC to see Becca
with
> Scott.
>
> "Ok, I'm ready" He replied. Justin rushed him down to the lobby.
Sure enough
> Scott had Becca ready to go. Justin knew the only way to get JC see
Becca in
> this huge lobby, was to have his back facing Becca. Becca caught
site of JC
> and had the sudden urge to leave. She tapped him on the shoulder
and asked if
> he was ready to leave yet. JC asked Justin if they could leave and
sure
> enough all four of them left. Scott gave Justin a dissapointed look
on the
> way out.
>
> What am I doing? JC thought, I mean she said she loved me and there
she was
> going out with Scott? How dare she? She made Alex break up with me!
If she
> doesn't care enough about your feelings, JC, then why should you
care about
> her feelings? Those were only some of the thoughts racing through
his head
> all through dinner. Justin smiled, he thought that this made JC jealous
of
> Scott. Becca was just as miserable as JC was. She knew he saw
her. She knew
> he was jealous, isn't that what she wanted? Then why did she feel
so bad?
>
> *After dinner*
>
> "Alex, this is JC" JC said. This was hard for JC. Apolgizing for
Becca's
> feelings.
>
> "Hey JC" She said.
>
> "I want to know if you would take me back? I'm sorry, I don't have
feelings
> for Becca" So he lied, but what was he gonna do, tell her that he
did still
> have feelings for her? A smile crept across JC's face.
>
> *In Abby and Becca's bus*
>
> Becca and Scott were still out.
>
> "Abby, it's Lance, I need to talk to you" Lance said worriedly.
>
> "Lance, what's wrong?" She also had the ability to read people.
>
> "JC...Alex....Becca...Scott..." He tried to spit out.
>
> Obviously he was out of breath, "Lance, are you saying that JC is
back with
> Alex?" Abby said, her eyes grew wide. Lance nodded. That's all it
took for
> Abby to run out of the bus.
>
> "Alright everyone out! Now!" Abby screamed.Everyone left except for
JC . He
> was on his way out. until, "Not you, pal!" She yelled to JC.
>
> "What is your problem?!?!?!" Abby screamed. All of the guys could
hear
> everyone of the words being yelled.
>
> "What's my problem?!? Becca's the one out with Scott!" He exclaimed.
>
> "Have you ever thought to talk to Becca before you decided to go
get back
> with your ex-girlfriend? Do you have any idea ohw much you hurt her?"
Abby
> said caming down a little.
>
> "She's not my girlfriend anymore, Abby!" He definetly wasn't
calming down.
>
> "Talk to her, JC, if you ever cared about her, go talk to her! You
don't know
> how wrong you could possibly be" Abby screamed as she made her way
out of the
> bus in tears. She slammed the door behind her. The guys were
grateful she
> didn't give away their secret. JC went to his bunk hoping that
this night
> would come down more. He couldn't fall asleep.
> "Knock! Knock!" Becca knocking on JC's door. She had just found
out that he
> was back together with Alex. JC woke up and opened the curtains to
find Becca
> Standing there.
>
> "Becca!" He exclaimed.
>
> "I just found out, can I talk to you?" She asked trying hard not
to see her
> cry.
>
> JC saw this as his opportunity to explain, "When I saw you with Scott
today I
> think that you didn't mean twhat you said in the letter you wrote
me, so I
> think it would be best...."
>
> "I don't like Scott that way" She exclaimed.
>
> "Yes you do, I can tell" He retorted.
>
> Becca interrupted him, "You don't remember do you?"
> JC looked confused.
>
> "Remember what, Becca?" JC asked.
>
> "The way you felt when I left? The way I felt when you didn't
come to the
> airport? The way you felt when I said I loved you?!?!? Do you think
I could
> possibly feel that way about anyone else. I knew I loved you from
the
> beginning, obviously this is only a one-way street. " now it turned
into a
> shouting war. JC looked away quickly.
>
> " Answer me! Did it really matter when I said I loved you, ever,
Josh? She
> didn't give him time to answer. Like Abby, she ran outside slamming
the door
> shut. Woah two girls in 1 hour, this is a new record, JC. What are
you doing
> JC, you're making a joke out of something that isn't funny! JC thought
to
> himself. You did love her JC, and you still do love her! Something
was
> extrmely wrong, and no matter what he did or could sy to himself
would make
> him feel better. Right now he didn't feel like being in the company
of
> anyone..especially not Scott. He didn't know their plan so he was
especially
> mad at him.
>
> "Listen JC, I don't like Becca in that way, I mean she's pretty,
smart and
> funny, but she's yours. Even if I did want to be her boyfriend, I
couldn't.
> The only reason I took her out is because I knew you wouldn't. I
didn't want
> to see her lonely. She loves you and you can't except that. You have
hurt her
> so much that doesn't she deserve to know the truth, that you love
her or
> loved her?" Scott said. JC couldn't even look at him. He was too
ashamed.
>
> He mumbled, "I love her, but I just screwed up big time, Scott. I
don't think
> I can fix it this time" The rest of the week were spent
> avoiding each other again.
