"In my life I've leanred that heaven never waite. Lets take this now before it's gone like yesterday."
Kyla shouted as she gripped the wheel, turning a sharp curve. 'It's that feeling again' her concious screamed.
She jumped as she cell phone rang. "Hello?" she asked, a little startled. "Hey sweetie. You at Justins yet?" Chris asked sympatheticaly. "No. But everytime I see a sign for the main highway there, I get a wierd feeling." She said not quite understanding it. "Well.... is there a different way to get there? Like back roads or something?" He raised his eyebrows. "Yea. I can get there that way. Wish me luck Chris." She finished off wiping a reat off of her cheek. "Good luck sweets! I'll see you when you get back. Love ya. Tell Justin that we all love him." Chris said blankly, holding back tears. They both hung up the phone, Chris walking over to Kevin.
"It's gonna be okay Kevin." "Yea." Rebekah said. "Think about how much better off she is now. Don't you feel better konwing that she's in a better place?" He shook his head no and let a tear slide down his cheek as jJoey walked over to the phone to cancel their plans for the week. Just to have time to sort things out.
"Thats weird" She said pulling into the Harless lot not seeing Justin's Mercedies. "Hhmmm.Maybe it's in the back. But he should already he here." She walked up to the door and didn't even have time to ring the doorbell before she came face to face with Paul.
"Uummm...................Kyla." he started trying very hard but not too seccesfully at all to hold back his pain. "I've gota tell you something....It's about Justin....He never made it here...he was...he....come with me." he said walking inside they're cabin-like home as he lead the way to the couch. Justins little brothers Jonathan and Steven climbed up onto her lap. "I really don't know how to tell you this , Kyla...." He blinked letting a reat fall out of the corner of his eye. "...Kyla, I .. Justin was....Justin was driving here and he fell asleep,... and he ran into the other lane. I don't want to say this..." He stopped to clear his throat and started again. "He's dead, too" Tears stung her eyes as she let one slide down beside her nose. Steven turned around in her lap.
"Why are you crying KayKay? Please don't be sad! I don't like to see you cry." Steven said patting her hair and face. Uncontrolable sobs tumbled fron her lips and tars rolled her cleeks as she looked at all of the baby pictures of the person who was 'her Justin'. "Please tell me your not serious about this, Paul." She pleaded "He's not really.....dead! Please, he can't be." She whispered slumping back down on the couch. "Please don't be sad KayKay. Justins gonna be home soon and he can take care of you. He promised to play basket ball with me. I want him to hurry!" Steven exclaimed his eyes twinkling with anticipation.
"Um...Staven,.. Listen." Paul said tears filling his eyes and galling down his face. "Okay." Steven replied. "Baby, Justin...won't be coming home...at all. Neither will mommie...they both died."
"So Justin's not gonna be able to play basketball with me again? I can't talk to him anymore?" "No baby, he wont. Are you okay?" "Daddy? Who decides to take people away from us?"
"Well God does, Jon. ..He needs them more than we do." "Okay" Steven said walking over and hugging Kyla. "I love you, KayKay" Wiping her tears away and trying to be strong like his big brother and not cry. He pulled a blanket and pillow over to his usual nap spot to sleep.
"Keven? Why don't we go out? Like to the mall or something?" JC told him "It'll make ya feel better" Joey told him. "I'll buy ya some spiderman stuff." Erica said sitting down besides Kevin on his bed. "Na Erica. I don't think so." Kevin said in his soft solemn voice.
"Yea Kevin!" Juli added "We could all go! It would be fun. Chris and I will buy you lunch." "Alright" Kevin said giving in.
"Ya havin fun yet man?" Chris yelled from the opposite side of the water fountin set in the middle of the mall. "Yea....Kinda." he said dodging wet pennys and quarters that wer ebeing pelted at him by Chris. Juli laughed covered her face and walked over to sit with JC, Revekah, and Erica. "What? Kinda? What do you mean 'kinda'? I'm about to get kicked out of this place trying to make you laugh and your 'kinda' having fun?" Chris exclaimed surprized at Kevins reply to his question. A half smile fell over Kevins face as he watched an officer walk up behing Chris grabbing him by his arm and pulling him out of the fountin. "Wha'd I tell ya?!" he said over his shoulder. Juli's face turned red "Come on guys. Lets get the nice security guard to let Chris go and drive back to the hotel before he gets into anymore trouble." Juli said as everyone grabbed their bags and ffollowed the path that the officer had made through the crowd.
"I think me and Juli are gonna walk back okay?" Chris informed everyone. "I think I will too." Kevin and Joey chimed at the same time so they set off JC, Lance, Rebehak, and Erica in the car and the others walking. No one knows how but everyone lost everyone else.
"It's so beautiful outside toda! It's so warm and quiet." Juli said looking around at the flowers that lined the sidewalk. "Well all except for the cars!"
"I love you Julianna" Chris said winding his arms around her waist and leaning down to kiss her lips "I love you too baby." She said breathing in the deep smell of his calogine.
"Excuse me, Joey Fatone?" a little girl said softly fron behing him. "Can my mammie take a picture of me and you, Please?" She asked her mouth stained with Cherry kool-aid. "Sure baby." he said leaning down and holding out his arms to pick her up. After hetook a few more pictures and signed a couple of autographs he continued walking to the hotel, Just enjoying the feel of the air.
Kevin walked through the park watching pairs and couples being happy and laughing. He wanted to be happy too but didnt think that he could ever be happy again. Kevins tears glistned in te sunlight as he walked faster convinced that without Madison there wasnt any poing in happiness.
