 "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!

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.

Oh. my. goodness. 

You and these updates!  I love it!  And as much as I was cool with Val and thought she was great for JT, I am so, so happy that they called it off.  

So...Betsy, Justin?  Rendezvous?  She's doing well and Justin has confessed his feelings...hook up!!! :) 



Author's Response: I"m glad they called it off too. I think she would have just ended up becoming a superficial bitch in Boston anyway lol.  Rendezvous? Let's hope so...but I don't give away the muse's secrets lol.

OMG!  I am so happy that she finally killed that bastard, and I hope that she can make it through what's coming next.  Seriously, this story!  I don't think I can wait for another chapter, girl!  So amazing!

Author's Response: THank you so much! Gosh, I'm so happy you liked it! It seemed to take forever to write! More soon!

Whew!  I just caught up...and, damn girl!  This is intense!  I love the direction you've taken with these characters and how different you've made it.  It's a fantastic story.  I really want Justin to do well, too!  I can't wait for another update!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! Glad you got through it and liked it! I'm working on an update now and I hope I can keep you reading! Hope you are well!

Whew.  What an intense story!  I really hope that Betsy can pull through for Justin and keep Ava from getting adopted.  And she needs to leave Preston, pronto!

Great update! 



Author's Response: so glad you liked it! Working on the next chapter for you!

Oh Betsy!  This is taking some turns that I don't really like, and I thin Betsy's boss needs to take a flying leap!  What a fascinating story.  I can't wait to read more and find out what happens :)  Fantastic update, girly!

Author's Response: thank you so much! I'm flattered that you love it this much! There is another chapter waiting for you! More soon!

Well, shit, girl, this is a lot to take in!  Betsy's past, Preston coming home, Carter finding out...!  She's got herself into a big ol' mess now.  And for the record, I think Preston is a lying piece of crap and he's full of it.  

I can't wait to see where you go with this!  Fantastic updates :) 



Author's Response: I know...I'm just hoping I can write it all well! I get so nervous about that. Thank you so much for sticking with it though! I appreciate it! There's another chapter up for you now :)

Reviewer: a_moments_grace Signed

Oh no!  Everything is spinning out of control and I am so not OK with it!  Betsy should really tell Justin everything that's going on.  If she keeps it a secret, he's going to hate her and then there will be and even bigger mess. 

Gah!  Fix it, Court.  I can't stand the suspense! 



Author's Response: Ah! I know...all kinds of craziness going on! But i'm sure you would expect that from me! Thanks for reading...I"m working on a update for you now!

Oh snap!  I am so happy she told him everything, and I have a little bit of hope that something good might come of this.  I really want to see things turn out well for these two.  Now...just keep Preston from coming back in the picture and we'll be in business!

Love it!  



Author's Response: So glad you liked it! there's a lot going on so hopefully things work out for the best! More soon!

What an emotional chapter!  You know, I adore Justin and Betsy together, but I think they're being completely realistic at this point, knowing they can't be together.  I hope that Deb can really help Justin out, and I am completely hoping for him to get Ava back.  

I am so emotionally attached at this point, lol.  Lovely job, my dear :) 



Author's Response: I know, i cried a little lol, and I'm really glad you felt it was realistic...that's what I was striving for. So glad you are loving it, dear! More soon!

Oh no you didn't!  Shit, girl, this story just took an entirely new turn!  I hope there's an update soon, because you just left us all hanging and I think I'm going to go crazy with the wait!  Sheesh!

Author's Response: Eepp...I know, it just kind of came from no where. There is a new update! Hope you don't want to kill me after you read it! Lol.

You said you loved me after fourty five minutes
If this is all a game can you just say it is?
I'll do it anyway, so it makes no difference"

During the coldest months of the year, it takes just a few hours for a human to perish in the freezing cold Rocky Mountains, when exposed to the elements.

Fiona Carmicale needs a miracle, and is running out of options.  This job is everything, life or death, and if she doesn’t do well and get that bonus, she’ll lose the only thing in her life that’s been keeping her going.

Recently dumped by his long time girlfriend, Justin Timberlake has been up to his usual workaholic routine.  Now he's trying to get away from it all for a few days, for his sanity, and to keep himself from a relapse.  He’s planned the perfect weekend, with his friends, and when he boards his jet that evening, he fully intends on leaving all the stress that comes with his busy lifestyle, behind.

But neither of them ever thought their lives would come down to a broken communicator, a three day supply of food, and a emergency kit.  She thinks he's helpless, spoiled, and too rich for his own good, and he's sure that she's nothing more than a hot headed know it all, but they'll have to learn to work together, if they have any hope of finding help before it's too late.
