Becca had war with the voices again. He can date. I'm not his wife or girlfriend. What are you talking about Becca, you thought this guy was the love of your life? There he is with another new girlfriend. The voices started right when she saw Alex. They just wouldn't stop. She eventually stopped crying, and went to find JC. She didn't know that he sat down on her door. She went to open the door, to find JC or the guys she had to talk someone. She went outside, towards the elevators...Down in the lobby,a blonde-haired woman caught her attention, she was crying trying to convince a dark-haired about something. Both backs were turned to her, but they still looked familiar. She was just staring, she didn't catch site of Lou coming up to her.
"Becca? Becca? Earth to Becca! Anyone in there?" Lou said waving ahand in front of her face. She had to catch herself.
"Lou, can I go back to the arena to practice?" Becca said. Lou looked confused. She continued to speak,"I need to practice the rest of the songs, I just can't do *I need Love* quite right.
Lou replied, "Becca, it's almost 11:00. But if you want to work on it, I can't stop you. I want some security with you."
Becca was confused. "I'm not part of N SYNC, so why would I need security?"
Lou just simply said, "Trust me, no wait you can take Steve. He can protect you both."
Becca finally hailed a cab. She couldn't help but watch the two people in the lobby. She responded
JC felt someone staring at him and looked around.He turned around and saw Becca and Steve getting into a cab. Was Becca the one watching me? JC thought. JC had to talk to her, after he left he had really hurt her. He needed to straighten some things out with her.
"Where to Miss?" The cab driver asked."The Gund arena please" She responded. JC ran outside to try and catch the same cab but it was too late and the cab had already left.
"Now how am I supposed to find her, I need to talk to her." JC mumbled.
Chris had been watching ever since JC had introduced Alex. He came up from behind him and said, "Talk to Lou,"JC gave Chris aconfused look, Chris said, "Just trust me on this one" He managed a "thank you"to come out. All of the guys knew that JC still had feelings for her and the only thing stopping him from acting on the feelings was Alex and the contract for both of them. So they did everything they could do. It wasn't enough though. Right before Becca came on tour JC was miserable, now he was happy and his old usual self. That is until he introduced Becca to Alex. JC was practically running towards the elevator. He pressed the up key and made his way up to Lou's room. He knocked on the door, and was told to come in.
"Where'd Becca go, Lou?" He was almost yelling, he was desperate. Lou was hesitant to tell him at first but JC got it out of him.
"She's at the arena with Steve, she said she wanted to practice her songs". Lou responded. JC knew this was bull. So he had to get there fast. Lou was about to protest and say that he couldn't go without bodyguards, but JC was well out of the room. Chris also had a part to do with that he just said
"Let him go, Lou" Lou knew what he was talking about but he didn't want to see JC hurt. Lou noticed something was going on between them, but decided not to say anything.
JC hailed the first cab. "Where to sir?" The cab driver asked impatiently.
"The Gund Arena, please" JC replied. The rain had started to pour after his encounter with Alex. How ironic, it's raining. I have screwed up big time now. After about 15 minutes of staring out of the windows, the cab driver finally snapped him out of his gaze. He went inside, only to find Becca playing the piano and Steve watching her. Becca caught site of JC and immeditly stopped playing. Steve turned around to see JC standing there.
"I'll just leave you two alone." Steve said as he turned around to leave. Why do those words sound so familiar? JC thought to himself.
"W-w-w-hat are you doing here JC?" She studdered. She was so afraid of what he had to say.
JC motioned for her to come sit down.
She tried not to look scared or anything so she went down and sat next to him.
"Becca, I'm so sorry about Alex. I didn't realize how much I hurt you, and seeing me kiss Alex didn't make it any easier," She was surprised, he had always been able to read her well, but not this well.
"I-I-I-don't know what came over me. I think it was just jealousy. I mean afterall we did date. I can't have these feelings, Josh. I just can't. It could ruin both of our careers. Especially yours." JC understood what she was saying but he just didn't want to believe it. JC reached over and gave her a hug. How did I ever let her go? JC thought.
"How about a dance?" JC asked. I have something special planned.
"Ummm....Josh, there isn't any music"
He replied,"I know"
She just laughed. He led her up to the stage, and they started dancing. She always could make situations more comforable, so she said, "Just don't start tickling me." They both laughed, until JC gave her a look that said,
"You just better watch out" After the song, JC was leading her off the stage, She tripped, JC tried to catch her but they both fell straight down. She landed on top of him. She looked at him and couldn't stop laughing.
"What's so funny, Becca? I mean I try to stop you from getting hurt and I get hurt!"
This made Becca laugh even more.
"ok, listen, I said I'd get my revenge on you, looks like I did" JC replied, "You can neverget revenge on me!" He said as he tickled her.
She tried to squirm away butit was no use.
He said, "Ha! I am the master at revenge!" She tried to tell him to stop, but it was no use either.
*flashback*
Josh! Josh, stop it! I'm running out of air,I swear I'll get my revenge on you someday" Becca gasped as Josh finally stopped tickling her. Josh just couldn't stop laughing.
*end flashback*
Then he stopped and tried to help her up, but she stumbled again. They were noses apart, and he gave her a quick kiss.
She said, "Why am I so accident prone around you?"
They laughed and made their way silently back to the hotel.
Not knowing how much that kiss meant to the other.
"Where'd you go last night?" Steve asked. Becca turned bright red. She had forgotten Steve!"Oh I'm so sorry Steve!!!" She kept apologizing and Steve had to keep telling her it was ok. Since last night Becca didn't know how to act around JC that kiss had meant so much for her. She had always dreamed she would see JC again. JC for the main part had avoided her. Becca didn't usualy look as cheery as she ussually did. Today she just looked nervous. So Joey asked her to come to a club.
Becca always loved going clubbing, but she knew JC was gonna be there so she declined.
Joey went over to Justin and said,"Man, what's up with Becca? She didn't even want to go clubbing with ME!!!"This made Justin crack up.
JC didn't feel like it either. He didn't notice that when the guys had left Becca wasn't with them. He noticed her buying something in the lobby.
He put his hands over her eyes and said, "Guess who?" After all he didn't want to look suspicious.
She replied with, "Well I know it isn't Joey, he's out clubbing, Chris knows not to mess with me, Lance wanted to go clubbing, and Justin knows I'll mess with his bleach, so it must be JC"
He removed his hands and said, "So I don't have common sense not to mess with you now?" they both laughed nervously.
She decided it was time to go to bed."Goodnight JC" She said.
Wait! Don't go Becca! He silently thought. So he jogged up to her.
He grabbed her arm and said, "We need to talk" They went up to his room. He unlocked the door and let her go in.
"JC-" Becca said.
"Becca-" JC said. They told each other how they felt about the kiss. Becca was about to leave when JC stood up and wrapped her up in a kiss.
"JC, you don't know how much we've just screwed up, I mean if Lou finds out, I'm fired and it will probably ruin your whole singing career. Now that we've kissed it's going to make things really weird, and I can't help but think this is a rebound thing." She said without missing a breath.
She left JC standing there heartbroken after what she said. He finally understoood how much he had hurt her when he left, because Becca just did the samething to him.
Becca couldn't focus on what she was doing and she couldn't take it anymore. She had to get out of there. Fast.
"Get me out of here Lou! Get me out of here as soon as possible!" Becca screamed on the verge of tears. Being around JC drove her to a point where she was going crazy. Although, she was sad that she had to leave Chris, Lance, Joey, and Justin.
"Becca, whatever you want, but I'm sure we can work this out." Lou said pleadingly. He had never seen someone with as much talent playing the piano as she did. He knew it from the beginning. He didn't want her toleave though, he loved her like a daughter.
"This is what I want, just transfer me or something, get me off the NSYNC tour!!" She yelled. This is when the tears started to fall.
"If you are sure this is what you want, I will let you go home and call you when something opens up," Lou said. No words came out of Becca's mouth so she just nodded.
" Then I hereby announce you're contract with Transcon Records null & void, however we will hire you to another tour. You are now officially off the N SYNC tour. Clean out your office when you get to Orlando, please. I'll be arranging your flight."
"Lou? Could you do me a favor and not tell the guys about this? I want to tell them myself. In my own way. Lou nodded.
Becca couldn't look at Lou so she went out of his hotel room, and back into hers. Chris noticed her coming out of his room. So he went to Becca's room.
"Beck? What are you in there? Please tell me what's wrong." Chris asked. He was saddened to see his best friend like this.
"Good-bye Chris" She sniffled. Becca was sitting on her bed writing good-bye letters to everyone.
After all, Lou said he would be arranging her flight. She wrote Chris a note explaining everything about Jeff.
JC's was the longest, she apologized for everything.
"Ring! Ring!" Becca's cell phone rang. It was Lou saying that her flight was 2 days from today. She was gonna miss everything and everybody...Becca was even gonna miss JC, but not the way she felt around him. She had already lost Chris and JC now it was her fault she would lose them again.
Chris had over heard the conversation between Lou and Becca, now he was especially going to be sad.
Chris said, "Beck, I know what happened and I need to talk to you"
She was reluctant to hear what he wanted to say, but part of her wanted to spend as much time with him as she possibly could, even if he was yelling ather.
"Come in, Chris" She said drying her eyes. Chris immediately pulled her into a hug. No words were needed to be spoken. Except Becca told Chris not to tell any of the guys what happened, she wanted to tell them herself. He just hugged her not saying a word.
"I just found her, why do I have to loseher again?" Chris thought to himself."When are you going to go back to Orlando, Becca?" Chris asked curiously.
She replied, "In 2 days, I have 2 days to spend with all of you guys"She said almost regretting she quit.
Chris said, "I have one more question" Becca nodded "Why did you have to go quit on us?" Chris asked sincerely.
"I just couldn't take it anymore, I don't belong here, tension just got to me." She said on the verge of tears again.
Chris thought that now would not be the time to ask her anymore questions.
"Hey Becca, do you remember when I first met you?"
*flashback*
"Becca this is Chris, he works at Universal with me" Becca could tell that this was no serious guy. He looked like he loved to party and playtricks. How right was she?
"Chris this is Becca" They both stuck out of their to shake it, but Chris grabbed her hand. He dragged her all the way to the BACK TO THE FUTURE THE RIDE.
Chris said, "I always wanted to go on this but everyone was to chicken to ride it, I'm glad you decided to ride it with me"
*end flashback*
