 "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!

Justin had a vision that included a perfect wife, a picture perfect life. Mila, on the other hand, wasn't quite content with what he had in mind. And then came Nadia. The beautiful ones always smash the picture. Always, every time.

You know...I'm totally not sure what to think about what's going on.  I'm happy Nadia didn't get to tell JT that she's out, but I don't like Mila being there.  Things are going to get complicated, and that means trouble!  I do hope Grampa is okay :)  

And I think I'm getting way too involved with this story!  Love the update. 



Author's Response: You are right, Mila inserting herself into Justin's personal affairs will definitely make things complicated. Especially where Nadia is concerned. But that's what makes it a story, right! So there's no such thing as being too involved. I love it! Btw, Gramps is just fine lol. As always, great to hear from ya! <3

All of this nostalgic crap has gotten me all shook up, girlfriend.  Mila can't have her cake and eat it, too.  She needs to let Justin move on because she's cramping his style in a big way.  

But I do adore this story :) and I am on the edge of my seat for what's going to happen! 



Author's Response: Lmao I know what you mean, it makes you rethink everything you think you have already resolved in your head. But memories are tricky that way. So Mila is likely confusing a lot of things at once, and may very well confuse Justin as well, but either way, she probably won't enjoy that cake too much with Nadia in the picture lol. And hey, I adore you for being such an awesome reader. As always, I thank you!

Oh the tangled webs we weave...!  I love the raw and real qualities of this story.  Bravo to you, lady, for being such an exceptional writer :)

Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much. It is definitely a tangled web, but we are all ducking and weaving through this world, aren't we! So that's what I try to express. I appreciate you so much for saying that! <3

Oh Nadia, you poor, poor thing.  She just can't see it, can she?  And you know, even though he's making it rough on her, I'm totally with JT on this one.  She needs to let go and just let someone in!  I hope things are better for the wedding weekend :)

I love this story, btw. 



Author's Response: LOL! I think she can see, she knows she's being an asshole. She just can't see how to stop. Which, I guess, is the same thing as not seeing. But I'm with you and Justin, it's time to stop holding onto all the nonsense weighing her down. Maybe he'll stop being frustrated enough to help her out with that lol. We shall seeee. Also, I thank you so very much! <3

Date: Jul 30, 2012 Title: Chapter 20: give a little more

Oh man.  I have no idea who's side to take here.  I totally get JT's frustration and why he's fed up, and yet I understand Nadia and her fear of opening up.  What a mess they're in!  I totally hope she's able to let go of some of her fear, though, and that Justin is able to cut her a little slack, too.  

Gah!  I love it! 



Author's Response: It's definitely one of those cases of everybody's a little bit wrong and a little bit right. Though I do think Nadia might be a little bit more wrong than right. If someone's giving you ample opportunity to not be an asshole and you don't take it... well shame on you lol. But she clearly has issues, so yeah. Lot's of stuff to fix! Thank you, as always, for your review!

So nice to see your face again

Tell me how long has it been

Since you've been here

You look so different than before

But still the person I adore

Frozen with fear

I'm out of love but I'll take it from the past

All out of words cause I'm sure it'll never last

And I've been saving

These last words for one last miracle

But now I'm not sure

I can't save you if

You don't let me

You just get me like I've never

Been gotten before

Ohh...I love Justin stories.  This one seems very intriguing and I can't wait to see how Chloe reacts to the news :)  Update soon!

Elise just moved to LA, is busy juggling graduate school, some semblance of a social life, and her brand new job as a receptionist at an agent's office. Obviously it is not in her best interest to strike up a friendship with her boss's most important, most famous client, but Elise was never very good at following instructions.

Betsy Collins has been living the good life since she met Preston Harrington two years ago, and up until now, she felt she was with him for all the right reasons.  Now, with a rock on her finger the size of the Hope Diamond, part of her is starting to feel like she could be making a mistake, even though her friends and family think she’s headed in the right direction.

Down and out on his luck, like he’s been since he was seventeen, Justin Timberlake has one last chance to make things right, get his daughter back, or lose her forever.  

But he never counted on her being the person standing in his way, and he never counted on...the rest, either.

And neither did Betsy.

Well that was a step in the right direction :)  I'm glad Justin was able to get through to her.  I hope that she's able to get the help she needs.  I want the old Betsy back, too!

Author's Response: Thanks! So do I! there's another chapter up for you now!

Reviewer: a_moments_grace Signed
Date: Aug 15, 2012 Title: Chapter 31: Thirty-One

I absolutely love these two together.  I can't help it! You've written them into such a beautiful relationship and Justin seems so happy...I love it!  And I'm happy for them, too.

But I sense that there's more to come, and that Betsy isn't done with Justin yet...so...

Love it!  Can't wait for another update! 



Author's Response: Aw I'm so glad that you do.  I think a lot of people have mixed feelings about her. there is another update for you now!

Reviewer: a_moments_grace Signed

Well...I have no idea when all of these chapters got posted, but sheesh!  What a whirlwind!

I love Justin and Val, and I don't know how I feel about this new Betsy.  I truly hope that she can find herself again, and that everyone can learn to understand her.

So intense! 



Author's Response: Lol I sort of posted like 5 chapters in one day haha. I was on a role!  Thanks for reading and yes...it's getting to be very intense.  THe story kind of just took over and I've been following the muse and doing what it tells me!

Oh no!  I feel so badly for Besty, and I can completely understand that she's no ready at all to be in the world yet.  I hope things can work out for her and that she can get the help she needs.  I'm happy she's safe with her brother now!

And I am totally crossing my fingers for Justin to get custody of Ava!  Great update! 



Author's Response: I know I feel horrible for her too :( Thanks for reading! There's another one for you!

Reviewer: a_moments_grace Signed
Date: Aug 18, 2012 Title: Chapter 35: Thirty-Five

Aye, there's the rub!

I had a sneaky suspicion that something wasn't perfect with Val and we were going to see that sooner or later.  Now, though, it's if Justin sees is soon enough.  I don't want them to get married and move all the way to Boston just to have it blow up in their faces.

And, YES! BETSY IS BACK! I love the spunk we see in her again.  I hope she continues to get better :)

Love the update! 



Author's Response: YEs there are always tricks up my sleeve aren't there lol. And i'm excited she's back too. I heart her :) Thanks for reading, as always :)

Awwww....I'm so sad it's over!  But what a beautiful story :)  You did such an amazing job and I wouldn't have wanted it to end any other way.  Incredible!  I love it :)

Author's Response:

I know I'm sad it's over too! Thank you so much for reading and I'm glad you liked how it ended!

Reviewer: a_moments_grace Signed

Oh man.  I feel like Justin was just starting to have things go smoothly in his life and he was happy.  Now, though...something is brewing and I don't like it!  

I love this story so much :)  I can't wait to see what happens. 

Reviewer: a_moments_grace Signed
Date: Aug 07, 2012 Title: Chapter 22: Twenty-Two

Holy Shit!  I go away for a few days and come back to all of this drama!  Damn, girl, this is intense!  I can't believe Preston is such an asshole-psycho, and Betsy cannot give up!  Sheesh!  I'm all riled up now!  I hope you update soon, and I hope that things work themselves out for the better.  Gah!  So intense!

Author's Response: I know I feel like a weirdo for writing this but there's kind of a purpose to the whole thing if you can believe that lol.  I have it all in my head, but it's just getting it out that's the hard part! So glad you like it though, there is another chapter for you.
