Athena and Joey had been going out for two years when *Nsync became famous. Everything was going great, until they had their first tour! Being away from Joey, the man she felt was her everything, killed her. When their first tour was over, things just seemed different. They were even more famous. Girls would kill to be in their beds! But the screaming fans weren’t really the problem. As Joey put it, he felt that there was too much going on simultaneously in his life. He felt that if he continued to be with her through the beginning of his fame, when he was just trying to get use to it all, that it would hurt her even more. So, he decided to let her go. He knew it would be one of the hardest things he would ever have to do. He loved her to death, but he felt it would be hard, mostly for her, to deal with jealous fans starting rumors about her, and maybe even trying to harm her!
Athena had felt like her life was completely over when Joey told her that they should see other people. Even though she had loved him with all her heart, she felt as if he was still an asshole to have broken up with her just because he had become so famous! She felt that he had total control in their relationship, even though she doubted he even knew that he did. The reason that she felt he had total control of the relationship, was because she felt that if one day he just woke up and decided he didn’t love her like he use to, then it would just all be over just like that! Which was kinda what she felt he did; once the going got tuff, he just decided to let go of one really big things in his life: Athena.
