"Family Ties"

Chapter 2

Well we made it through the airport mob.And no one asked Lance Why he was wearing sunglasses indoors.For the first fifteen minutes of the limo ride to the hotel no one spoke.I was dead tired. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I remembered was Justin carrying me through the lobby of the hotel."Set Me Down!" I didn't want people to get the wrong idea.I mean after all we were just friends. Even though I wanted us to be more than that I knew what kind of rumors could come of it.After Justin put me down he looked at me strangely "J.B. do you know how loud you said that?" I looked around the lobby surely enough everybody there was looking at me. I was so embarrassed . I Grabbed my room key from J.C. and ran to my room. (One the advantages of being the only girl is that you get your own room.)I dropped my bags and climbed into my bed.Even though I was tired , I could not sleep for some reason so I sat up and watched the I Love Lucy Marathon on TV LAND.Around 10 'o clock or the fourth episode I fell asleep with the TV still on.I don't know how long I was out but I woke up to the TV Blaring and someone pounding on the door.I decided to get the door first."Who is it?" The person behind the door replied "It's your hamdsome intellagent brother."I looked through the peephole. " Sorry I don't have an intellagent Handsome Brother try another room."" J.B. it's me Joey Let me in" I Laughed as I opened the door."Oh Joey. Well why didn't you say my dorky and wierd brother I would have known it was you in a second." Joey had that same look on his face as the on Justin had when I refused to go on the tour."Ha Ha. J.B. do you know why I am here at 2am?" I Shrugged as he went to the TV And hit the volume display.It was all the way up!"Oops I probably fell asleep on the remote, sorry." Joey just turned off the TV and walked out of the room mumbling a 'go to bed' . Then he turned around and told me to go down to the lobby and tell Justin that the TV was off and that he could go back to bed.

When I got to the lobby sure enough there was Justin Drinking cofee and watching ESPN.I snuck up behind him and put my mouth close to his ear. "YOU CAN GO BACK TO BED NOW!!!!!!" I can honestly say I had never seen someone jump so high in my whole life.When Justin turned around I could see the angry expression on his face "Look what you made me do!" That's when I noticed that he had coffee all over his shirt and pants."Oops.Oh Well.At least I know I got your attention." Then someone tapped my shoulder. When I turned around I saw that it was the hotel manager. "Young Lady if you cannot control your voice I will have to ask you and the rest of your family to LEAVE!" I was about to tell her about how we paid to stay there and they couldn't make us leave,but before I had a chance to Justin put his hand over my mouth and told the manager that I would be quite for the rest of our stay.And with that he pulled me into the elevator let go of my mouth and stood beside me.As soon as the elevator doors shut I elbowed him right in his stomach."OW!Squirt!What was that for?!?!" "I was going to tell her off!Why did you have to do that? I am not a little kid.I can handle my own battles!!" I practically screamed."Well Squirt. I did not want to sleep on the tour bus.and I don't think the guys would like to wake up at 3am to hear that you got us kicked out of the hotel."By that time we were at my door. As I walked in I turned around to see Justin turned around about to head to his room."Justin?" He turned around."Yeah?" I smiled then frowned."DON'T CALL ME SQUIRT!!!!" With that I slammed the door in his face.
