“Just tell me what you want me to do, I would do anything for you.” Justin said.  “Don’t tell Chris anything, You’re his best friend.” Elena begged.  “I’ll try, but Chris and me are close, I tell him everything.” Justin explained.  “Tell him and I swear I’ll never talk to you again.” Elena snapped.  “You’re moody tonight.” Justin said as the two of them headed back to the table.  Elena just rolled her eyes.  As they entered the place where the others were.  Chris greeted her with a smile.  Elena sat down beside him and gave him a kiss.  “I missed you.” Chris said.  Elena smiled and looked at Justin.              “So, where are you guys going next?” Hannah asked.  “Hard to tell, our schedule keeps changing this week.” JC said a little bummed.  “Are you guys going to have any more time off, while in New York?”  Casey asked.  “Not much, ask the girls we stay pretty busy.” Joey said.   “Yeah, I’m lucky if I ever get to see JC.” Hannah said.  “When how on earth do you make it work?” Casey asked.  “We try really hard and make the most of it.” Elena said.  “Cool.” Casey said taking a drink.              “It’s getting late we should at least think about going back soon.” Lance said.  “Okay thought about it.” Chris said turning to Elena.  “I’d like to stay just a bit longer.” He added kissing her again.  “I’d like that too.” Elena said with a smile.  She looked into his big brown eyes.  “You’re such a cutie.” She added.  “Why thank you, you’re pretty cute too.”  Chris said still close to her.  He liked being close to her, she always smelled good.              “You two look so cute together.” Casey said.  Chris and Elena smiled.  Justin watched her closely.  He looked at Reva.  She smiled at him; she did look great tonight.  On the other side of the table, Reneé was watching Lance.  He seemed to be taking the whole Calista thing very well.  Reneé turned to her cousin who was engaged in a conversation with Joey.   Once Casey passed Reneé whispered to her softly.  She explained briefly what had happened and asked her to talk to Lance.  Casey smiled and then turned to Lance.  “Reneé, told me what happened, that girl must have been nuts to do that to some one as cute as you are.” She said with a smile.  Lance blushed and thanked her for the compliment.            “I think Lance was right though, we really should go soon.” JC said.  “Party-poopers.” Joey huffed.  “That’s okay, you guys are going to stop by the venue tomorrow, right?” Chris asked.  Elena couldn’t help but feel he was putting her on the spot, but he couldn’t know what Justin told her.  “Yeah, sure what time you want me there?” She asked.  “Whenever, just as long as you show up.” Chris said.  They all got up and headed for the door.  When they got out side Reneé stopped.  “Where’s Justin and Reva?” She asked.  “Hard telling, does your cousin need a ride?” Joey asked.  Reneé quickly asked Casey then the two ladies got into Joey’s car.            The next day the guys got up early and headed to the venue.  Justin seemed once again to be out of it.  “You all right man?” Chris asked once they had a chance to rest.  “Yeah, it’s Reva.  I don’t think it’s going to work out.” Justin said.  “Why what did she do?” Chris asked.  “Nothing, there’s just nothing there.” Justin explained.  Justin wanted to tell him the real reason, but he remembered what Elena had told him.  “It’ll be okay, I’m sure she’ll understand.” Chris said.  “She didn’t take it very well.” Justin said.  “You already told her?” Chris asked.  “Yeah last night.” Justin said.  “So that’s where you were.” Joey said coming into the middle of their conversation.              Justin just sat there biting his thumb; he was deep in thought.  He looked up at Joey.  “What’s that you got?” Justin asked.  “Oh, it’s Casey’s coat she left it in my car last night.” Joey explained holding up the tiny black leather coat.  “What was Casey doing in your car?” Chris asked.  “I gave her a ride home.  She seemed real nice.” Joey said.  “There you go Justin maybe you could hook up with Casey.” Chris said trying to cheer his friend up.  “I don’t think so.” Justin said, he didn’t want to be hooked up any more, who knew the girl he wanted.            Just then Elena ran in and gave Chris a kiss on the cheek.  She hadn’t seen Justin there.  When she saw him she stopped.  “Oh, Hi Justin.” She said.  “Have you seen Reva?”  Justin just shook his head no.  “Oh, okay then.” She said and then turned back to Chris.  “Hi, baby.” She said with a smile.  “Hey, I got something I want to show you.” Chris said taking her hand.  The two of them left leaving Joey and Justin there alone.  Joey quickly sat down next to Justin.  “I have to tell some one, can you keep a secret?” Joey asked.              Justin looked at him funny.  “Yeah, sure.” Justin said.  “Last night I dropped Reneé off first because her place was closer and on the way to Casey’s the two of us got to talking.  She is really something.” Joey said.  “Wait a minute, Joey, are you trying to say that you got a thing for Reneé’s cousin?” Justin asked.  “Well yeah I guess, but I still really like Reneé.  So I don’t want you to tell anyone.” Joey said.  Justin laughed; after all it sounded a little familiar.  Justin got up and patted Joey on the back.  “Don’t worry I won’t tell.” Justin said and then walked off.              Reneé was on her way in when she saw Reva just standing there.  “Aren’t you going in?” She asked Reva.  “I don’t know.” Reva said a little upset.  “Why not, I’m sure Justin wants to see you.” Reneé said.  “I don’t think so.  Last night after we left he told me that he wasn’t sure there was anything there and that maybe we should just be friends.” Reva said.  “Oh.” Reneé said not sure what else to say.  “Did I do something wrong?” Reva asked.  “No, I’m sure Justin is just going through a lot right now.” Reneé said trying to explain Justin’s actions.  “Tell you what you wait here, I’ll go see what’s going on.” Reneé said.              Reneé went inside and she saw Justin walking toward her.  She smiled and as soon as he was close enough she quickly grabbed his ear and pulled him off to the side.  “What are you doing, you got my earring woman.” Justin whined.  “I know.” Reneé said pulling a little harder.  “What’s your problem?” Justin asked in pain.  “I passed Reva on my way in.  Why did you dump her?” Reneé asked.  “I didn’t dump her I just want to be friends.” Justin explained.  “Yeah, right I’ve been dumped enough to know better.” Reneé said.  “No, really.  I mean it.  She can come in if she wants too.” Justin said.  “She’s upset about it, I can tell.” Reneé said.  “I know, and I’m sorry.  But can let go please.” Justin whined.              Reneé let go.  Justin looked at her and rubbed his ear in pain.  But he was somewhat relieved, he had thought that it might have had something to do with what Joey said.  “What was I supposed to do, I couldn’t just keep going out with her, if I didn’t have feelings for here.” Justin said.  Reneé stopped for a minute, she hadn’t thought about that.  Justin smiled and waited for her to speak again.  “So, what now I’m wrong?” She asked.  Justin shook his head.  “No, but I really don’t want her to be mad at me, what can I do now?” Justin asked.  “Look, I’ll go get her and bring her in, if you say you just want to be friends than make effort to be, don’t be like most guys and blow her off.” Reneé said.  “I won’t, I’ll be nice, now good get her.” Justin said.  Reneé started to had back the way she came.  “Oh, Joey has Casey’s coat.  Casey left it in his car.” Justin said.  Reneé nodded and then went to get Reva.            Justin smiled and then took off walking toward the back.  He walked into their game room and found Chris in there showing Elena his new turn tables.  She seemed to be into it.  JC was napping on the couch they had in there.  “Do you two know if Hannah is coming?” Justin asked.  “I don’t know.  Do you know that your ear is a little red?” Chris asked.  Justin laughed, “Yeah, I know that.  Reneé got a hold of me.”             “What for?” Chris asked.  “I broke up with Reva.  I told her I just wanted to be friends, I guess Reneé ran into her outside.” Justin explained.  “You broke up with her?” Elena snapped.  “Yeah, she took it better than I thought.” Justin said eyeing Elena.  Just then Chris’s cell phone rang.  “Please, excuse me.” He said then stepped into the other room to take his call.  Elena got closer to Justin.  “If you broke her heart, I’ll kill you.” She said poking him in the chest.  Justin flinched it hurt a little.  “I wish you would make up your mind, you told me to.” Justin said.  “Oh, yeah.  But I’ll still kill you.” Elena said.  Just then JC woke up.  “What are you two arguing about?” He asked.  “The dummy broke up with my best friend.” Elena snapped.  “Really?” JC asked.  Justin nodded.              “Hey, JC.  Is Hannah coming?” Chris asked walking back into the room.  “No, she went back last night. Why?” JC asked.  “That was Dani on the phone one of the FuMan models walked out on us again.  I had talked to Hannah about getting her a modeling job.” Chris explained.  “I can give you her number; she should be home by now.” JC said still half asleep.  “Could you?” Chris asked nicely.  “Why don’t you let Elena do it, she’s pretty?” Justin asked.  “I offered.” Chris said.  “Me and cameras don’t get along.” Elena said.  “Oh.” Justin said scratching his head.              Meanwhile Lance had found a nice quite place away from the others to read a book.  He was really in to the story when he saw some one coming toward him.  She really was pretty, he had thought so for awhile, but he had been so blinded by his love for Calista.  “Hey, Lance have you seen Justin or Joey?” Reneé asked walking up to him followed closely by Reva.  Lance raised his eyebrow and nodded.  “Nope, sorry, I haven’t seen them.” He said.  “Do you have any idea where they might be?” Reneé asked.  “You could try the game room.” Lance said.  “Where’s that at?” Reva asked.  “Come on I’ll show you.” Lance said hopping up.              They followed Lance into the game room.  JC was flipping though his black book trying to find Hannah number for Chris and the other three were just standing around.  When Reva saw Justin she almost started to cry.  “See you broke her heart.” Elena yelled and then kicked Justin in the shin.  “Don’t get mad at me you told me to.” Justin said holding his leg where she had kicked him.  “You told him to, what kind of friend are you?” Reva asked.  “He told me he didn’t like you that way, I told him to let you down easy, not break your heart.” Elena explained.              Reva stomped her foot and then stormed out the door.  Elena ran to the door.  “You stay here mister. When I come back your dead.” Elena snapped pointing at Justin and then took off after her friend.  “Did I miss something?” Lance asked.  “It’s a long story.” Justin said.  “Start talking, I think missed something too.” Chris said wondering why his girlfriend wanted to kill his best friend.  “She just didn’t want me to break Reva’s heart I guess.” Justin said making his way for the door.  “Where are you going?” JC asked.  “I’m not staying here.  She just might try to kill me.” Justin said walking out.              “I found it.” JC said finally finding Hannah’s number.  “You don’t know you own girlfriend’s number?” Chris asked taking the paper from him.  “Well, I have her on speed dial.” JC explained.  “This all very interesting, but has any one seen my boyfriend?” Reneé asked.  “Nope, but maybe I can help you find him.” Joey said wrapping his arms around her.  “How long have you been there?” Reneé asked.  “Not, long I passed Reva and Elena in the hallway, what’s up with them?” Joey asked.  “Don’t ask.  Is that Casey’s coat?” Reneé asked noting the leather coat that Joey had in his hand.  “Yeah, she left it in my car.” Joey said.              Chris stepped into the other room again to make his call.  “Hey you hungry?” Joey asked.  “Sure.” Reneé said.  “Great let’s go get a bite to eat.  You want to come, Lance?” Joey asked letting his arms fall to his sides.  “Yeah, I guess.” Lance said joining them at the door.  “JC?” Joey asked.  “Not right now, I want to see what Hannah tells Chris.” JC explained.  Joey shrugged and then left with Reneé and Lance.              They made their way to the cafeteria and sat down to eat.  They were joking and having a good time when Reneé looked up from trying to eat her sandwich.  She saw Elena storming through the cafeteria.  Reneé swallowed, “Hey, Elena.” She yelled.  Elena stopped and went over to where they were.  “Where’s Reva?” Reneé asked once she got closer to the table.  “Not sure I caught up with her in the hallway, we were talking a bit and then went back to the game room up the only ones there were Chris and JC.  I told her to stay there while I went and looked for Justin.” Elena explained sounding a little mad and frustrated.              “I couldn’t tell you where he went, he left shortly after you did, I think you scared him.” Lance said.  “Good, the man is on my last nerve.” Elena said.  “What did he do to you anyway?” Joey asked.  “It’s a long story; it has to do with a talk we had a few nights ago.” Elena said.  “What about?” Lance asked.  “I can’t say, I promised I wouldn’t.” Elena said.  “We can respect that.” Reneé said.  “Have a seat; I’m sure Justin will show up sooner or later.” Lance said offering her a seat beside him.  She smiled and then sat down.              Meanwhile in the game room Reva sat down next to JC on the couch to wait for Justin or Elena to return.  JC sat there resting against one of his arms.  He was just looking at her.  “What?” Reva asked pushing her hair behind her ear trying to hide how uneasy she was.  “Nothing just trying to figure out why Justin broke up with you.” JC said trying to make her feel better.  “I don’t know, but if you ever figure it out let me know.” Reva said.  JC just smiled.  She was pretty and he had seen her and Justin together, she had always been sweet to Justin, and JC knew that being nice to Justin wasn’t always easy.  Reva sat still, JC was giving her funny vibes.  She could feel him looking at her.  “I never had a real boyfriend before Justin.” She said out of nowhere.              “Really, that surprises me.” JC said.    “You’re too sweet.” Reva said before bursting into tears.  JC wasn’t sure what to do.  After much thought he slid closer to her, put his arm around her and tried to comfort her as best he could.  It was weird at first but she was so upset it didn’t seem to matter, she leaned on him and cried some more.  JC was surprised by her reaction to his touch.  She finally looked up at him.  He smiled and wiped a tear off her cheek.  They looked deep into each other’s eyes and the next thing Reva knew JC kissed her.  She wasn’t sure what to do at first.  She wasn’t sure why, whether it was her broken heart or the fact that she had always secretly liked him, but she started to kiss him back.              They were in the middle of a very passionate kiss when Chris walked back in he was still on his cell phone with Hannah.  JC and Reva could not see him.  “Um, Hannah JC can’t talk right now; I’ll have him call you.” Chris said and then hung up.  Chris was about to interrupt them when Justin walked trough the door.  “Wow, I guess your not still upset over me.” Justin said once he saw what was going on.  JC jumped up when he heard Justin’s voice.   JC looked at him in awe, and stuttered a few unclear words.  “So should I can Hannah back” Chris asked holding up his cell phone.  “Chris, Oh god no, how long have you been there?” JC asked.  “Long enough.” Chris said.              Reva liked the kiss but felt sorry for poor JC.  “Let me explain JC was just trying to cheer me up.” Reva said standing up next to JC.  “Did it work?” Justin asked.  “Yeah, it did, I feel much better.  At least there is one real man in this room.” Reva said putting her hands on her hips.  “Ouch, that was a low blow.” Chris said. “You do realize that JC has a girlfriend, right?” Justin asked.  Reva made her way to the door.  “I’m sure you have a lot of room to talk, I talked to Elena so don’t play dumb.” Reva said glancing at Chris briefly.  Then she left.              “What was that all about?” Chris asked.  Justin bit his lip and wasn’t sure what to say.  “Your not going to tell Hannah are you?” JC asked.  Justin was relived by the change of subject.  “No, I won’t tell her.  I assume it was just a spur of the moment thing.” Chris said.  “It was, It was so weird we were just sitting there and she was crying.  The next thing I knew I kissed her.” JC said.  “Now, what did she mean about talking to Elena?” Chris asked.  “It’s nothing really.” Justin said.  “She’s my girlfriend I think I have a right to know.” Chris said.              Justin took a deep breath.  “I told Elena the other night that I kind of had I thing for her.  But I would never do anything to hurt you.  She didn‘t even take it like I had hoped.” Justin said.  “What do you mean you have a thing for my girlfriend?” Chris said.  “When I met Reva and Elena, I guess I fell for the wrong girl.  But you have nothing to worry about she doesn’t seem to share my feelings.  She said you were the best thing that had happened to her in a long time and she wasn’t about to turn her back on you.” Justin explained.  Chris smiled, “She said that?” He asked.              “Yeah, but you can’t tell her I told you a thing, she didn’t want me to tell you.  She knows how good of friends we are and didn’t want it to cause problems.” Justin explained.  Chris wasn’t sure what to say.  “Well, you two should talk I think I’ll just go now.” JC said trying to find any way to get out of this.  “We’ll talk about Hannah, later” Chris said pointing at JC as he reached the door.  “Yeah sure.” JC said quickly and then left.  Justin and Chris stayed to talk and little longer.
