"Family Ties"

Prologue

"J.B.! Get down here and in this car this instant!!!" I could tell my mother was getting upset. But I didn't care. I didn't want to go. Okay let me fill you in. Let me start off by telling you my name. It's Jessica Beth Fatone. But everyone calls me J.B. including my brother Joey. Yes you heard me right Joey Fatone. Also known as the flirt of the music group *N SYNC.

And on this particular Day J.B. Fatone was not happy. Basically due to the fact that I was being forced to go on tour with my brother and his friends as their " assistant" . To put it in simpler terms I was going to be making their reservations at resteraunts. Place to go orders ect.ect.ect. To me it was a way for my brother to look over my shoulder.You see right after their last tour I decided to rebel and sneak out and try to get into a 18 and over club with my trusty fake I.D.. I did not think I would get in considering I'm just 14. But I did. I was having fun. But who did I bump in uh huh. Joey. And my other brother Steven,and the other members of *N SYNC,J.C.,Chris,Lance, and my best friend Justin Timberlake.I have never been yelled at so much. In fact I would still would have been grounded if Joey hadn't asked our parents if I could go on tour with them.

*Knock* *Knock* "I'm Busy." I yelled as I climbed under the covers in my bed. " J.B. It's me let me in." It was Justin. When I opened the door I looked at his face and I could tell he was mad." Squirt get dressed and get in that car or I will pick you up and drag you and you can go on the plane in your pajama's." Now Justin is the only one I let call me squirt. Because I don't think the name fits because I'm tall 5'8 in fact. But compared to Justin's 6'3 frame I looked short. So he calles me squirt.That's part of the reason people calls us the odd couple. For best friends we were complete opposites. Agewise he's 18 and Im 14. Genderwise he's male and I'm female.And I am outspoken and talk alot and he's a little more quiet and listened to anything I have to say.But we had commom intrests like we both had alot of energy. so If noone would want to do something we had each other.As he looked at me he knew something was wrong." J.B. why don't you wanna go?" How could I tell my best friend he was mostly the reason.You see over the last year I had developed a major crush on Justin.So I knew that spending 3 months on a tour bus with him was a bad idea. So what's the next best thing for a reason. AH HAH Homesickness. " Justin , I miss my parents already." Homesickness. Surely they would pity me and let me stay, right? Wrong!!! All that got was a speech about communication through phone calls,letters,and email. IN the car ON the way to the airport TO get on a plane for the tour.As I got on the plane I knew it was going to be a very intresting three months.
