 "Time is a lot of the things people say that God is. There's the always preexisting, and having no end. There's the notion of being all powerful--because nothing can stand against time, can it? Not mountains, not armies. And time is, of course, all healing. Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardships erased, all loss subsumed. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Remember, man, that thou art dust; and unto dust thou shalt return. And if Time is anything akin to God, I suppose that Memory must be the Devil." -D.G

 

DISCLAMER: I don't own *NSYNC or Justin Timberlake, JIVE records, or anything else affiliated with the boys.  All of my stories are works of fiction.  I do own all original characters, plots, etc.  Please don't steal my stuff!

He was exhausted by his life, so overwhelmed with it that he crossed continents to escape. Arriving on a quiet little island in the middle of nowhere, Justin thought that maybe he had a shot at finding some peace. But how far do you have to run to escape yourself? How many lies do you have to tell to be the person you wish to be?

Justin Timberlake and normal don't seem to fit in the same sentence together,  but that could just be me :) anyway...I love it so far and I can't wait to see where you take it.

Author's Response: He seems like he'd stand out even if he wasn't famous, but maybe I say that only because I've always known him as famous *lol*

I sense trouble on the horizion.  This never stay this good in your stories for long :) lol.  Love it, and I'm totally on the JT/Addy train.

Author's Response: I have absolutely no idea what you could mean by that *Hollie's nose grows*

So...I'm guessing that Lily is a little more up with the times (meaning music) and she's going to out JT for the musician he is...and there will be drama.

am I close?



Author's Response: I couldn't possibly say...

Just had a chance to catch up on this chapter...and I must say that I think Justin Timberlake is a pussy and I think he should have come out with the truth.  I mean, Addy could very well be upset, but I feel that they've gotten to know each other enough now that she wouldn't care one way or another about his fame...

ah...you do this on purpose.  Because now this problem is just going to hang over his head even longer which means the blow up will be even bigger.

Gah...I think I'm entirely too involved. lol



Author's Response: Me? On purpose? How could you say such a... oh, wait, yeah. Fair point.

I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop (or perhaps the first shoe, knowing how you work, lol) and I will be waiting with baited breath because I know that it's only a matter of time.

Bah...this is such a great story.



Author's Response: Shoes may be dropped, they may not be... I'm incorrigible like that.

I want him to tell her.  I thought he was going to, especially after that "i'm a millionair" comment...but...you're dragging it out and that just kills me!!!

and you're enjoying every minute of this too, I'll venture to bet. :)



Author's Response: You'll venture to bet, would you? I'd say that was a pretty safe call.

So...I'm a little dissapointed that we didn't get any of the sex, because I would've liked to have seen that (perve, I know) and I'm a little excited about this fling too.  I attempted to have a summer fling, but it turned into more of a flop, and he was horrible in bed.

I just over-shared...didn't I?



Author's Response: You did, a little. *lol*

Date: Aug 28, 2008 Title: Chapter 12: Haggling

It's taken me forever to catch up...and since no one else commented on this chapter...I wanted to be the 1st :)

I love these two...and I have a feeling that those dropping shoes I'm so concerned about will come in the form of Addy's brother and some new-found England info...

but that's just a guess :)



Author's Response: I'm glad somebody did, it was looking a little pathetic with that 0 on it *lol*

I just had a very, very shitty day....and for a minute or two....reading this allowed me to forget said shitty day.

Not many things have been able to make me forget...

so...Thank you.



Author's Response: Always glad to be of assistance!

Ohhh...I could've stayed on that island with the two of them forever.  Too bad reality has to but its ugly head it, aye?

I just have one request.  Don't make it bad just yet.  I need a couple more chapters of good before I ready for bad.  My heart just can't take it :)

I hope I'm not asking for too much...lol



Author's Response: Reality inevitably does, sadly. Other than that i promise nothing.

Uh oh.  I sense trouble on the horizion...and because it's you writing this, the feeling is that much stronger.

But thanks for keeping it light :) like I said, I wasn't ready for bad yet. lol.



Author's Response: Honestly, why does everybody always suspect me of being so evil? I mean I... oh, wait. Fair point.

I knew this moment was going to happen.  And now I'm curious to see what happens when Justin has to face Addy,  because I know that's gonna happen too.

Just...don't make it too painful, if you can, really.  Justin's a good guy :)



Author's Response: Painful? Why are you always begging me not to make things painful? Why would I of... okay, i can't even pretend to keep that up for the sake of a joke!!!

I haven't had a chance to catch up in a long, long time (hangs head in shame) apparently, since I've acquired a social life, it means my fantasy life with JT takes a back seat (Hmph! Whoda thunk it?)

anyway...I still love this story, and I think you're depiction of the characters are incredible.  And I say that the guys has to give up his side of the bed, simply because they snore.  If a girl is going to put up with snoring, she should at least be on her side of the bed!



Author's Response: Don't apologise for having a social life dear, that is a good thing you know *lol*

So...Phew!  I've just managed to catch up on the back log of chapters I had going on...and...well....you know I love this story, and I can't believe I'd even let reading it slack a little!

Wonderful, juicy drama is just what I needed today (especially because it's not mine!) 



Author's Response: Sometimes it's nice to read about other people's dramas to distract from your own *lol*
