Chapter 8

~Ring~Ring~

"Hello?"

" Hey girl. What's up?"

" Hey. Are ya'll in town yet?"

" No not yet, but soon. I was wondering if you could meet us at the hotel?"

" Sure. What time?"

" Uh...I don't know. Maybe around noon. Its 11:00 now, we should be there in like 30 minutes. And then give us 30 minutes or so to settle in. We have some stuff to do today but that's not until later."

" Okay noon. I'll see ya then. Bye."

" Bye." I answered clicking the phone off.

" Hey." Jc said sitting down beside me. " Who was that?"

" Dorothy. She's meeting us at the hotel at noon."

" Cool. So I finally get to meet this friend of yours." I smiled and nodded.

Justin then walked in. " Hey. How ya feeling?" he asked me. " Fine. I guess." He sat down on the other side of me. I laid my head in his lap. " I got a call from our manager and he said---" he hesitated. " He said that you guys will be off the tour in a week. He said your manager said you guys are going over seas for some promotional stuff for a couple months."

I snapped my head up. " What?" I asked shocked. Jc got up. " I'll leave you two alone." He quietly shut the door behind him.

" We can't leave. Not now." I covered my face with my hands. Justin pulled me towards him. He wrapped his arms around me and slowly rubbed my back. I cried into his shoulder.

" We can't go now. Matt is still out there. What if he follows us? Then what are we going to do?" I lifted my head and stared at him. He wiped away my tears. " I feel safe when I'm with you." I whispered. His eyes softened. I put my hand on his cheek and rubbed it softly. He put his hand over mine. " I-I love you." I whispered. His lips met mine in a deep embrace. " I love you so much." He said in between kisses.

" Aww!"

We both looked to find everyone crowded in the doorway. I blushed slightly. Justin just smiled and kissed me on the cheek.

I scanned the crowds for her familiar face. The dark red hair and stunning green eyes.

" Dorothy!!" I yelled trying my best to make it through the crowds of people in the lobby without getting more hurt then I already was.

We both hugged.

" So what's up?" I said excitedly.

" Nothing much!" she said laughing.

" I'm so glad your here. Come on lets go up to the room. I have someone I want you to meet." I said smiling.

We both stepped into a vacant elevator. We chatted the whole way up. She had noticed my broken arm. " It's a LONG story. But I'll tell ya later." I inquired.

We got out of the elevator and walked down several doors. Slipping in the key I unlocked Room 269.

" Hey. Guess who's here?" I said happily. " Cindy Crawford!! Where?" Chris said bouncing off the walls. " No. Dorothy." I laughed. " Close," Dorothy said taking a runway model walk into the room. Everybody laughed. Dorothy was never the shy one.

" Okay, this is Chris, Joey, Lance, Jc." I pointed them all out. " And this-" I grabbed Justin by the arm. " Is Justin." I gave him a kiss. Our lips locked, Chris yelled out, " Get a room." I pulled away and laughed.

Sara, Ashley, and I headed into the studio. We had left Dorothy with the guys. She said she didn't mind. We had to do a local radio show. Then we had a few hours until rehearsal.

" Hey welcome back. We are now talking with the newest girl group in the spotlight, *Eternity. Sara, Ashley, and Jenny. "

" Hi," we all said in unison.

The next few minutes we talked of life on the road, and how our tour was going with some of the five hottest guys around. The question did come up however, as to if we had any boyfriends. Ali had mentioned that it would be fine if I announced that Justin and I were seeing each other. I decided not to. It was still early in our relationship and I didn't want the fans trying to kill me just yet. I don't think I would be able to handle it right now. In time. All in time.

The interview finished and we left.

Walking out of the elevator on our floor, we saw Dorothy running towards us. " Help!" she cried. We looked behind her to see Chris running after her and yelling, " I'll get you my pretty. And your little dog, too!" I burst out laughing.

" Hey need any help," I asked. She laughed. " No. that's okay. He's really afraid of me." She advanced towards Chris like she was going to hit him. Chris screamed and ran into the hotel room. We all laughed. We all went into the room that occupied the five guys.

" Hey what you guys laughing at? " Jc asked.

" Chris...Chris...he screams like a girl." I said between bursts of laughter. Everyone just smiled. I guess they didn't think it was that funny. Considering that they lived with this guy 24/7.

We all sat down.

" Anybody wanna go get some lunch?" Jc asked getting up. " I do," said Dorothy. She followed him to the door. " Anyone else?" Jc asked.

"I wanna--" Chris started. I smacked the back of his head. " Ow, what was that for?" he asked staring at me. " No, go ahead. We've already eaten."

" Okay. We'll be back later." Jc said. Dorothy grabbed her purse and they left. I clapped my hands and smiled.

" Now what are we going to do? I'm hungry." Chris complained.

" We can all go out then." Grabbing our stuff we headed out.

Dorothy's P.O.V

After talking for three hours down in the hotel restaurant, Jc and I made our way back up to the hotel room. The others obviously weren't back yet. Although I couldn't imagine where they would be for three hours. I was glad when it was just me and Jc. I've watched him ever since he was on The Mickey Mouse Club. I've had a crush on him for like ever. I tried to hide my excitment though. The last thing he needs is another obsessive fan. Not that I am. Boy, am I in denial. At least I don't have pictures up on my wall. It's just developed into a hard core crush. That's all.

" So what do you wanna watch?" Jc asked me. Snapping my thoughts back to reality.

" Um....what do you suggest?" I asked. " Star Wars."

" Sure." He popped the video into the VCR and we settled on the couch. Jc slung his arm casually around my shoulders.

After awhile, my eyes began to hurt. I just couldn't keep them opened anymore. It was in the middle of the second one. I wanted to watch but I was just to tired. Closing my eyes, I rested my head on Jc's shoulder and went to sleep.

Back to Jen's P.O.V

OPening the door, everyone piled into the room. We found the TV on and the credits for the second moving rolling. Most likely they had probably watched Star Wars. Closing the door. I walked over to turn off the TV. Turning around, I found Jc and Dorothy sleeping on the couch. Dorothy's head was layin gon Jc's shoulder and his arms were around her. I motioned for everyone to come look. I smiled. My planned had worked.
