Summary:

Justin missed a lot while living his fast paced life. He missed seeing his half-brothers grow up. He missed seeing his mother’s smiling face every day. He missed being normal. But the one thing he missed the most was always by his side, he just didn’t know it. It’ll take a wise-ass childhood friend, an all-knowing band mate, and a meddling cousin to make him realize what he’s been missing all along and what’s waiting for him back in Tennessee.

Trace always knew that there was a bigger world outside of Tennessee but he's never had the chance to venture out and experience it himself. Being Justin Timberlake's best friend has its perks but it also has its downsides, the latter of which he has grown accustomed to. He wants to take a chance—take a risk—in the real world but the ties he has to his home are so strong that he can't ignore them anymore.

This is more of a Trace and Justin story than anything else. The rest of *NSYNC are more seconday characters but that doesn't mean they aren't important to the plot.

It's been a while. I apologize. I've finished up my sophomore of college and I dedicated my time to my classes, performances (I'm in my schools steel drum band and african mallet ensemble) and exams. After that I had a lot of things to do around the house as well as get some driving in to finally get my license. Well, enough of my excuses, here's the next chapter. I hope you all enjoy it.
