Chapter 1

“Jana!!!!!!!! Where are you??”exclaimed Michelle as she entered her two bedroom penthouse which she shares with her best friend.

“I’m in the kitchen”Jana said. Michelle dropped her purse on the floor and practical ran into the kitchen.

“That hospital...is soo infuriating!” Michelle said as she started pacing in front of her friend.

“Well hello to you too. What could possible happen to make you this frustrated?” Jana asked as she watched her bewildered friend.

“Well....they decided to hire a new pediatrician, because they think that I can’t handle the pediatric ward on my own! So, I get to spend the next three days to show this guy the “ropes”. Do you know how frustrating this will be!?!”

“It won’t be that bad, just think that this new doctor means that you won’t have to work as much”Jana responded trying to sound as optimistic as possible. “If it makes you feel better, Brian and I are getting a new partner tomorrow at the firm. It was bad enough working on cases with one stuck up male, do you think I want another one?”

“Ok, that does make me feel better. Well I am going to turn in and try to get some sleep.” Michelle started as she left the kitchen and made way to her room.

*DING-DONG, DING-DONG*

“I’ll get it!” Jana said out loud to no one in particular as she made her way to the door. She opened it to reveal someone she never expected to see again.

“Hi, I just moved in next door, but my phone hasn’t been installed yet, is it possible if I use yours....”Joey started as he turned around to face her. “Jana?!?!”

“Joey, oh my god, I never thought I would see you again! What are you doing here? Come in..”she blurted out still in shock to see one of her best friends from childhood.

“I can’t believe its you. Chris and I just moved in next door. The guys and I decided to move up here to New York. I haven’t seen you since...since....the summer of your freshmen year of college. How are you?”Joey said, glad to see her after all this time.

“Wait till Justin, JC and the rest of the guys see you...”He started but stopped once he saw her face fall at the mention of JC’s name. “Sorry, I forgot that’s a touchy subject.”

“No, no its ok. I am 28 years old. It’s been 9 years, I am ok with that subject.” She said trying to put on a convincing smile. “Oh, the phone’s in the kitchen, go ahead its just right in there.”she added pointed towards the kitchen.

The mention of JC’s name brought back so many bad memories. And so many good ones. She had to smile to herself. But that smile soon turned into a frown when she thought of that summer. ‘You have to stop remembering that summer’ Jana told herself.

“All done! Thanks a lot for letting me use the phone. I better get back before Chris does something stupid. I’ll see you around.” Joey said as he made his way form the kitchen towards the door.

“Bye Joey, I’ll definitely see you around.” Jana responded, as she walked Joey out the door. “Michelle you will never guess who was at the door...”

‘ I really don’t want to be here today.’ Michelle thought to herself as she exited the elevator and enter the Pediatrics Ward of Memorial Hospital.

“Hi Becky, when the new doctor comes in just send him to my office.” Michelle told the receptionist as she walked by.

‘Ok, Jana you can do this. All you have to do is smile and act polite’ she thought to herself as she looked out of her office window to see the city. She had only been at the firm for a year, and was just getting used to its routines. All the lawyers were teamed up to do cases. Jana had been teamed up with a pompous jerk which she shared her office in.

“You can put the desk in the corner” Jana heard her teammate Brian tell the movers.

‘Hard enough to share this office with one lawyer now two’ she sighed in frustration. ‘I hope Michelle is having a better day then I am having’.

“Ok, I think this is where I am suppose to be.” Lance said to no one in particular as he sighed in frustration. He had spent the last twenty minutes looking for Pediatrics Ward when he figured out he had been going around in circles.

“Can I help you?” Lance turned around to see a friendly face at a receptionist station.

“I hope so, my name is Dr. Lance Bass and I am looking for the Pediatrics Ward” he answered.

“Well, we’ve been expecting you! My name is Becky and I am the receptionist, and you are in the Pediatric Ward..”she smiled at the young doctor in front of her,

“Doctor Samson said for you just to go to her office. She’ll show you o your office and show you around. It’s just down the hall.” she pointed towards the corridor to their left.

“Thank you, it was nice meeting you.” he added as he started down the corridor.

Knock! Knock!

“Come in.” Michelle said as she rose to meet the new doctor.

“Hello, my name is Dr. Bass, I was hired to be the new co-chief of Pediatrics you must be Dr. Samson.” Lance said as he entered the room. He was looking at the letter in front of him and never saw the person in front of him.

“Lance....” Michelle murmured when she saw her ex in front of her. Her face suddenly turned in to one of anger.

Once he heard that voice he didn’t need to look at her to know who she was. ‘it can’t be, please say it is’. he thought. He raised his head to see that it was in deed the love of his life...Michelle. “Hello Michelle.”

“Well JC, what do you think of the firm so far?” asked Mr. Greene owner of the firm.

“What I have seen is very impressive sir.” JC answered as he was looking around his new place of work.

“And this is your office..” Mr Greene said as he opened the door. “And here are the lawyers you will be working with let me introduce you to Brian Stern and Jana Chong.”

‘Jana Chong, it cant be her, I cant be working with her. JC thought.

“Jana, Brian I would like you to meet your new partner.. JC Chasez.”Mr Greene said as he introduced the new lawyer and then left the three to get aquainted. But the whole time, Jana just stared at JC. ‘why of all people does he have to work here.’she thought.

“Jana, its been awhile..” JC stated trying to decide how he was going to handle the situation.
