Chapter 11

**A Week Later**

"WELCOME BACK TO TRL.Right here beside me are today's special guests *N SYNC!"As I watched the guys say their hellos to the crowd I realized my hands were trembling. That was the day that Justin was going to tell everybody about us.And as the inevitable question drew closer I started to feel sick to my stomach. 'Maybe Carson will forget to ask the question.Oh who are you kidding J.B..No one ever forgets to ask it.' As the guys started to answer to regular questions about the tour and the new cd Justin glanced to the side of the stage where I was and winked at me. 'Maybe it won't be that bad after all.' "Okay guys now I know you're probably tired of hearing people ask this,But this is part of my job so...Do any of you have a girlfriend?" Joey,JC,Lance and Chris gave the explantantion of how they date but how they didn't have girlfriends but when the attention turned to Justin he grinned at me and said "I know I am going to break a few hearts with my answer but Yes I have a girlfriend."There were a lot of gasps in the crowd."Who is she?" I heard somebody ask.We had already agreed he could tell them who I was. "Well her name is J.B.." That's when the questions really started pouring in."What does she look like?" "How did you meet her?" "How long have you been seeing her?" I backed up afraid someone would notice Justin smiling at me. Carson stiffled a laugh. "Hey now.What is this? Ask Justin about his girlfriend day? We have to go to the next video.Guys why don't you tell the audience what it is." "Here is Joey Mcintyre with Stay The Same."

When the video came on Justin ran over to me and gave me a hug. "Justin what if one of those girls see us?They look like they are out for blood."He grabbed my hand."Come on."He pulled me out onto the stage."Everybody.This is my-""Justin what are you doing" I hissed into his ear.But he continued."-girlfriend J.B.." One girl stood up . 'Oh No. they are going to hurt me.' "Hey aren't you Joey's sister?" Before I could answer they announced that we only had 10 seconds so I quickly ran off the stage."Whoa that Joey Mcintyre.Now that is the guy that I remember my ex-girlfreinds drooling over." For the rest of the show I could see girls leaning over to catch a look at me.When the show was over the guys stayed for about 15 minutes and answered all of the questions the audience had even though 90% of them were about me. It suprised me how well they were taking it. And I was esspecially stunned when some of the girls said that we made a cute couple."Well it's been fun guys but we have to go." As we left the building I leaned over and whispered into Justin's ear "You're lucky Timberlake.Very Lucky."
