The morning of the party Lance and I had decided to sleep in.  We knew it would be a late night, so a morning in bed sounded more than pleasing.  My eyes fluttered open as I felt his unclothed skin against my own.  He was spooning me from the back as I turned to look at his bright green eyes.

“Good morning beautiful,” his deep voice spoke.

I could feel his erection from the position I was laying in and I couldn’t help but smile. 

“I see someone’s up,” I giggled.

“You’re so beautiful, how could he not be up?” his lips kissed my ear.

There were so many things I loved and enjoyed about Lance.  But the one thing that came to mind at this moment was how amazing he was with me in bed.  He brought me to heights and made me soar when we made love.  He always looked me in my eyes and touched me so gently, so softly and most of all, so lovingly.  He made me feel beautiful even though I was once insecure.  He was just a passionate person, someone who always made me feel amazing.

“I want to be inside of you,” he slowly whispered in my ear.

I perched my butt out a little and allowed him access to slide inside of me.

His arms wrapped tightly around my waist, our hands lacing together as he carefully and slowly moved in and out.

He treated me so delicately, hardly ever did we have sex where we were both drunk and just in the mood to go at it.  So sometimes there was a little wall banging or bathroom door slamming, but mostly, we were soft and careful with one another.

He always showed me how much he loved me and how real it would always be.

“Lance…” I spoke his name breathlessly as he kissed my back, my neck, my ears and my shoulders.

“I want a baby,” he suddenly whispered in my ear.

My body nearly sat up on the bed as I turned around and looked at him.

“What?” I replied.

“I want to have a baby…with you, I love you,” he replied.

“Lance, I…”

He pulled out of me and turned me around to face him.

“I want to feel what’s it’s like to lose myself in you and then create something so amazing out of our love,” he whispered, his hands brushing away some hair from my face.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I leaned down and kissed him.

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah Mae,” he answered and rolled on top of me.

He slid inside of me once again.

I couldn’t help but smile a mile big.  He wanted to have a baby…wow.

He placed my hands over my head and our fingers laced together tightly.

“I love you,” he looked down at me.

“I love you too,” tears formed in my eyes as I felt my body begin to lose control.  The moment I did, he did as well.  I could feel him contracting inside of me and then fill me completely.  It was the first time we’d never used a condom and I couldn’t get past how amazing he felt inside of me.

And for the rest of the morning we spent our time in bed, making love and hopefully a little being that we would soon call our son or daughter.

“Nick you really don’t have to do this, it’s just some stupid crap I came up with when I was drunk,” Kevin insisted as the two men stared at each other from opposite sides of the limo.

“No, it was a challenge, and I’m up for it, fuck off,” he shot.

Kristen and Leighanne glared at him from their seats.

“What?” he asked in a high voice.

“Nothing, you’re just so different lately Nick, what’s gotten into you?” Kristen asked.

“Mind your own business okay?” he grumbled and stared out the window.

The truth was that Nick didn’t know what his problem actually was.  He’d been this way for almost a year now.  He just simply didn’t care anymore.  The drinking, the partying, the girls, the women, the money, the bling-bling, the fame, it was all becoming a blur and it was all a shield so he didn’t have to do what he hated most: thinking.  If he thought, then all he could come up with was how much he hated his life.  But it was like a cycle, it never ended.                

“Look, I’ll come through, just you see,” Nick pointed at Kevin.

Kevin looked at Nick worriedly. 

“I hate N Sync, but not enough to ruin their personal lives,” Kevin whispered into Kristen’s ear.

“Kevin, you got him into this, if you don’t get him out, something bad is about to happen,” she warned.

“There’s nothing I can do…”

She just shook her head.

“You know there should be seatbelts in this thing, what happens if I went flying out, I could sue this company so bad,” Chris played in his seat.

“Chris, where would you go flying to?  Right into Joey across from you and I’m sure you wouldn’t hurt yourself, only him,” Lance replied.

“You’re too smart for your own good Bass,” Chris replied.

My fingers were laced tightly with Lance’s as the limo came to a stop.  He looked at me lovingly, his eyes showing signs of the morning we shared.

“Alright, let’s go crew,” JC hopped out and we all followed suit.

The party was pretty booming when we got there.  There were at least a hundred circular tables for each group of people, all with our names embroidered on place cards.  During the dinner the VP directors spoke and then the president during dessert.

I kept noticing Justin watching Britney and her date and when we all headed out to the dance floor I snagged him away from his chair.

“Justin, don’t worry about her, okay?” I told him, his arms around my waist as he stared at how close she was with her date.

“I, I’m not worried,” he stuttered.

I swirled him around so his back was to her, “yes you are sweetie, just try and have fun, okay?” I told him.  But his blue eyes looked sad.

Suddenly Justin was knocked into me and I fell back, Justin’s arms grabbing onto my waist tightly.

“Hey, what gives Carter,” he glared at Nick who was stumbling with some girl on the dance floor.

I looked up at Nick, his eyes locking on mine tightly.

“Hey who’s the pretty girl?” Nick looked at me, alcohol plaguing his breath as he came up to me.

I looked up at him, he looked a little distant.

I’d had my run-ins with Nick over the years, for some reason he never remembered me, but I didn’t care whether he did or not.

“Go away,” Justin shooed him off.

Nick just smirked at him.

“Sorry about that,” Justin apologized.

“It’s not your fault sweetie,” I kissed his cheek.  “I’m going to go find Lance, okay,” I hugged him tightly and left.

When I got back to our table I didn’t see Lance or Joey at all.  After searching the entire room for them I decided I’d go to the ladies’ room and I’d probably run into them out there.

“Did you see Timberlake’s girl?” Nick leaned into Howie.

“No, he has one?”

“Yeah, dude he’s such an ass hole, I think it’s him I want to fuck over,” Nick smirked.

“You’re still hung up on that drunken bet you and Kev made?” Howie snorted.

“For sure and here I go to work my magic…”

“And she’s going to just want you drunk Nicky, is that it?”

“I am not drunk!” he retorted, “I’m buzzing, okay?”

“Sure, whatever Nick,” Howie walked away.

Nick shouted after him “send Kevin up to the pool area in 20 minutes, and tell him not to be late.”

“Dude I’m telling you, she’s hot,” Joey dragged Lance down yet another hallway.

“I think you’re lost and you’re making up this girl you want me to meet.  And why do I always have to approve of them women you want?” Lance huffed.

“Just shut up and come on,” Joey pushed him down the hall.

When I left the ladies room I looked up and down the corridors for Lance.  I was standing near the elevator looking into a room when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I jumped a bit and looked up at the familiar blond that I’d seen earlier.

“I didn’t catch your name,” he told me.

How the hell did he not know my name?  I knew the names of Brian, AJ and Kevin’s wives, how could he not know I was Lance’s wife?  Then again, I knew Nick was also not the brightest crayon in the box.

“Megan, umm can I help you?” I asked as he swayed a bit in front of me.

“You look like you need help yourself,” he smiled a bit.

He was cute, I’d have to admit it, the blue eyes, the crooked smile, the spikey hair.  But the alcohol, NO.

“I’m looking for Lance, have you seen him?” I asked.

“Lance Bass?” he asked.

“Uh yeah,” I replied.

Nick bit down on his lower lip.

“I can’t find him or Joey,” I added.

A light bulb suddenly flicked on and Nick replied, “sure I know where they’re at, come on.”

He pushed the up arrow on the elevator and I looked at him oddly.

“Why are they up there?” I asked.

“I saw them go up, there’s a balcony and stuff up there,” he answered.

“Oh, uh, okay,” I shrugged as I got into the elevator.

Once we’d made it up the elevator and onto the second floor I looked around, but I saw no sign of Lance.

“The balcony is over here, come on,” Nick replied, biting his lip nervously.

I followed him down the hallway and into the pool area.  There was a small gym and a sauna right next to us.

“I don’t see them, we better go back,” I nervously replied as I looked around.  Perhaps Nick wasn’t as trusting as I thought.

“No, look,” Nick pointed.

I walked past him to look out the window and then suddenly the wind was knocked out of me.

My body hit the plastic of the pool chair harshly, my blue satin dress snagging and ripping.

I went to scream, but he was on me in a second, his hand covering my mouth.

“I won’t hurt you, I promise,” his grey-blue eyes burned into mine.

I screamed and began to kick, but his body pinned me down as I watched him unbuckle his pants.

“NICK, NO,” my scream was muffled as I felt him rip my dress further and pull down my panties.

I kicked and went to hit him with my hands, but I only got my nails across his face once before he slapped me and then held my hands with his other hand.

“I’m going to take my hand off your mouth, but you scream, I will kill you,” he replied.

Nick didn’t know where he came up with that at, he just said it to get her to shut up, he knew he wasn’t going to kill her.

I obeyed and my body got tired of fighting.  As he shoved himself deep inside of me at a violent pace, I tried to kick and flail my body, but I just lost energy and finally, I gave up.

My eyes focused on the ceiling and all I could think about was Lance.  He moved in and out so hard and so fast I could literally feel my insides tearing apart.

Suddenly there was so much pain, my head started spinning and for minutes I passed out.

Because of the alcohol in his system it took forever for Nick to finally orgasm.  When he did, he had just pulled out and was doing up his pants when he saw Kevin coming down the hall.  He ran out there and told him he won the bet, gave Kevin a quick look at the lifeless body and led him for the elevator.  Kevin didn’t see the face, just a sleeping girl and shrugged it off.

“What happened to your face Nick?” Kevin commented as the elevator went down.

“I hit it on accident, stupid me,” he replied with a smirk.

“Oh, okay,” Kevin shrugged.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x  

When I woke there was blood leaking onto my dress from my insides and I was in a horrible amount of pain.  I touched my face, but there was a bruise.  I felt around for my purse, trying to find a phone or something, but my purse was missing.

I pulled up what was left of my panties and my dress and crawled along the floor for a while.  Finally, I decided to just try and make it downstairs.

Tears spilled over my eyes at how dirty I felt, how horrible I felt and how much pain I was in. 

I crawled into the elevator and headed downstairs.  When it opened I was curled up in the corner of it, sobbing uncontrollably.

“Megan?!” I heard a voice from across the foyer.  It was JC, he was heading for the bathroom.

He ran to me and looked at me inside the elevator.

“Oh my God, Mae, what happened,” he leaned down and in one scoop picked me up.  My head fell onto his shoulder and I cried uncontrollably, my whole body shaking like a small earthquake.  Blood was now on his shirt as he carefully walked me into the foyer.  My arms wrapped around JC’s neck so tight I thought for sure he would choke.

It was then I looked up from my position in JC’s arms and saw Lance, Joey and Justin rushing up to us.

“MEGAN!”  Lance screamed.

“I found her like this in the elevator Lance, I don’t know what to do…” JC was freaking out now as he handed me into Lance’s arms, but I just grabbed onto his neck and wouldn’t let go
”Baby what happened to you,” Lance looked down and saw the blood on my dress and what had made its way onto JC’s suit.  “Oh my God, she’s bleeding…” he held onto me tightly, Justin prying my arms off of JC.

Lance and the others ran outside and we got into the limo.

“Jesus Lance, she was raped, pretty fucking bad,” Justin looked down at the blood dripping down my legs.

“Oh God,” Lance’s eyes welled up with tears as he looked down at me.

“Hold on baby, we’re going to the hospital.”

His eyes were all I remembered, everything from there, went black.
