Slowly the BBQ came to an end and the four new friends grew closer and closer. And to much surprise to Justin he found himself very atracked to the girl. She was a fan, yet she didn't act like a fan, and yet she had such a secret to her that was almost impossible to really grasp.
None of the three gentlemen knew exactly why Lisa was in Maryland, only that as she said it 'her parent's banished her there to save her sanity'. They all didn't really believe it as the entire truth, but none were the ones to pry.
As the night slowly began to end the three gentelmen said their fairwells to Lisa and headed back down to the BBQ.
"She's one intresting girl, isn't she?" Joey asked the other two.
"She's something thats for sure. I'm just a little curious about her secret." Justin said to his two friends when the walked out into the back yard where everyone else was.
"That isn't all you're intrested in. Wouldn't you say Joey?" JC teased his younger friend.
"Shut up man. She's 16, I don't need jail time thanks. And besides, she's not my type." Justin retorted.
"Right she's honest, sweet, goal oriented and smart. She's JC's type."Joey reasoned with a chuckle.
"Who's JC's type? Where were y'all? Damn started thinkin' y'all left us two here all alone with the 'real' adults." A deep based Lance Bass stated.
"We're talking about Roger's 16 y/o niece. Justin is infatuated with her already and he just met her." JC said. "And why would we leave y'all alone here? Not like it'd kill Chris to pay attention to what 'MATURE' means."
"Haha, very funny. So Justin AND JC are falling for a kid? Oh thats priceless. But ya know we don't need two of our leads being sent to jail for 5 years. That be a BAD thing." Chris stated to his 4 younger friends.
"I'm not falling for her. I've known her for about 6 years. She's a friend. Besides I have Ashland." JC said, a little annoyed with his friends. 'She's just a friend. Nothing more, nothing less.' He thought to himself.
"I'm not falling for her either, I just wanna know what her secret is. She avoided certin topics when they were brought up. Like WHY she's 'banished here'." Justin said to his friends. 'I ain't gonna let them know if I like her or not. Besides, I can't trust girls when it comes to relationships. And she's 16. Thats a no no Tennman.' Justin thought to himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lisa upstairs kept replaying the conversation that she had with Misty when she was eight about 'who she'd marry'.
*Flash Back*
"Ok, for his personality, he'll be serious, like you, he'll be really into what he does for a career and that'll be him number one priorty and you'll make sure of that. He'll be really goal orentied, and really sweet, sensitive. He'll share your love of music and be in the career that you want, and you know what career choice that is. You'll meet him in a few years and lose contact and then re-find him. Than you'll realize your undying love for each other ( AN: said with over dramamtizing-is that even a word? *shruggs*- ). No seriously, you'll meet him before you finish high school. But you'll marry him by the age of 25, he'll be about 6 to 8 years older than you." Misty said not giving Lisa a chance to talk.
The two eight year old girls giggled and talked long into the night about 'getting married' and who they wanted to marry.
*Flash back ended*
Not more than five years later Lisa promised herself to NEVER fall in love unless it was with a man that fit Misty's discription 100%. Not taking any chances she didn't date that much, and knew that the odds of finding the exact guy Misty talked about was near impossible. That way Lisa never had to worry about falling in love or getting her heart broken. She never thought it would make her as lonely as it did though. Everything has it's price she'd tell herself when she got to sick of being alone.
"Misty couldn't have been talking about... Naw, she couldn't, it's not possible. No way. Notta. Nope. I don't think so, thats just silly to even think it." Lisa said to herself. "but ya know, it would be kinda cool if it is. But I mean it's not possible, so I'll just forget it."
"Forget what?" She turned around to see that the voice was JC standing in the door.
"Jesus JC! You scared the hell out of me."
"Well than, job done. Don't swear around adults" JC said mocking Roger. "You shouldn't talk to yourself it isn't healthy. You'll turn out like Chris. And thats BAD."
"If you're an adult than I'm Briteny Spears' long lost twin" She said dryly, while JC shuttered at the name of his MMC castmate. "And since I SURE AS HELL am in no way shape or form invloved with Ms. Thinks-She's-All-That, than in my book you aren't what my uncle meant be 'adult'. And I wasn't talking to myself, I was thinking out loud."
In this time Lisa was sitting at her keyboard and was playing the song she had been working on before JC accidently found her room.
"What are you playing?" JC Asked.
"Just a song I'm TRYING to write. But I'm blocked. It's an important song to me and I can't get anything that really is WORTH writing, and putting on paper." "You're THAT picky?" He asked a little shocked that someone would be the same way about music as he was when he was writing.
"This song is very dear to me and it's GOT to be the best I can get it to be. And so far it's nothing."
"oh." JC said while looking at pictures that were scattered around Lisa's room. One picture he saw he knew.
*Flashback*
"Lisa, you OWE ME BIG for taking you to this boy band concert." A girl said to her frind.
"Misty, please just chill. I promise you'll have fun. *NSYNC puts on one hell of a show. And I'll be forever greatful for you for taking me to this concert. I know how much you hate *NSYNC." the brown haired girl (JC guessed was Lisa) said to her blonde haired friend (he gathered was Misty). "DAMN! My ankle is killing me." Lisa said.
"Stop sucking up. And stop being a baby it's only a little tattoo. You wanted one since we were tiny and now you get one and you just whine. I don't think I'll ever forget your face when we got the tattoos. It was priceless... ah hey? could you take a picture of me and my friend for me?" Misty asked a 'teenybopper' while handing the girl the camera. "thanks" she said smiling at the teenybopper after she took the picture.
*End Of Flash Back*
"So did you're friend enjoy the concert?" JC asked after a few minutes.
"WHAT?! Huh?"
"The *NSYNC concert on March 10th, in Portand, OR." He said holding up the picture. "I saw you two there. She didn't want to be there."
"It was the best night of her life. She was really glad she went." Lisa said half smiling as she took the picture from JC and ran her finger over the picture of her friend. "It totaly got rid of all the differences between us for one night." She said as she wiped away a single tear, leaving JC confused. 'Why is it upseting her if it was a good night? OH SHIT! Thats why she's here'JC thought to himself.
"How'd she die? If you don't mind me asking. And when?" JC asked the sad girl infront of him.
