Jesse walked into Eppie's room. "You're sure you don't want to go to the
concert tonight, Ep?"
Eppie nodded her head. "You go and have fun. I just can't go."
"Well, I hope you feel better soon. I'm sorry you can't go."
Eppie motioned for Jesse to go on.
Jesse still had no idea that Eppie dated Justin Timberlake. She just thought
that it was some guy.
Eppie reached into her nightstand and pulled out her diary. A picture fell
out of the front as she unlocked it. It was the picture she and Justin had
taken at Disney World. Eppie stared at the faces of the couple. They were
both looking at each other out of the corners of their sparkling eyes. WE
WERE SO HAPPY --she thought.

***************************

The guys said a prayer and gave a big group hug before they went on the
stage.
"You're gonna make it." JC told Justin.
Justin put on his big, fake smile. Never in his whole life did it hurt so
much to smile. Justin took a very deep breath and ran out onto the stage
with the rest of the guys.

10:30 pm

"Oh my goodness, Eppie! You missed an AMAZING concert!" Kim yelled as she
walked into Eppie's house.
Eppie tried to smile at Kim.
"I'm gonna go to Walmart and get my pictures developed right now. Ya wanna
come with?" It wasn't really a question. More like a demand. Eppie knew that
she had better go with Kim after missing the concert. It was the least she
could do.
"Alright."
As they drove to Walmart, Kim talked incessantly about the concert. "It was
the coolest thing. They all got up on these cords or something during their
song called "Sailing" and they started to fly! It was so cute!"
Eppie tried to ignore Kim but still look like she was listening. She just
sat there smiled and nodded at everything Kim was saying.
All of a sudden Kim gasped. Eppie jumped. "What?!"
"I forgot to tell you the SWEETEST thing!"
"Don't scare me like that, Kim! I thought something terrible happened!"
Kim continued, ignoring Eppie's comment, "While we were waiting for the
concert to start, a whole bunch of people sitting next to us told us that 'N
Sync was interviewed on the radio today and they were asked if they were
single and JUSTIN... who's my favorite... said that he's single but there's
this girl that he's like... IN LOVE with... and she lives here... and he
said he was a jerk and stuff and he's sorry...."
"Justin Timberlake said this?" Eppie asked, getting a little excited.
"Wow, I'm so proud of you, Ep, you know their names and everything!"
Eppie rolled her eyes, "What EXACTLY did he say on the radio?"
"I don't know... I didn't hear the interview, I just heard it from some
fans.... Anyway, I didn't really think too much of it because I didn't know
if these girls were just making it up or what.... SO later in the concert,
in between 'God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You' and 'I Drive
Myself Crazy', Justin came out and started talking about this girl and
everything and it was just SO SWEET! Why can't real guys be more like him?"
"What EXACTLY did he say about her at the concert?" Eppie asked, getting
very impatient.
"You wish you went, now, don't you? I told you that you'd like it but
NO!..."
"KIM!"
"I think you're a bigger 'N Sync fan than you lead me to believe, Eppie...
Admit it!"
"Sure I am, Kim.... I like Justin... and there's... JC....and....all the...
other guys. JUST TELL ME WHAT HE SAID!"
"FINE! You don't have to get so hostile!" Kim cleared her throat. "First,
after 'God Must Have Spent', he said that he knew that we all had someone
who we thought God must have spent a little more time on, whether it be a
family member... yadda, yadda, yadda.... then he said that he met this girl
somewhere in Florida and she's from Colorado and they dated for a while and
he fell for her but he got scared and stuff and he didn't know what to do
when he left so he told her he never wanted to see her again or something...
and then, it was so sad, he started to get tears in his eyes just talking
about it and he said that she probablly hates him and he's just REALLY sorry
and he loves her.... wherever she is... Isn't that romantic?"
"KIM! Do you know what hotel they're staying in???" Eppie's eyes widened.
"Sure I do, why?"
"Because, you have to take me there! Right now!"
"But, we're almost at WALMART! I really want to get my pictures developed!!"
Kim complained.
"Listen, you can get your pictures developed ANY TIME! I REALLY need to go
to their hotel!"
"Ah, I see. You're getting upset that you didn't go to the concert, huh?
Well, if you think you're gonna get to see them at their hotel... think
again... they've probablly got security there like you would not believe!"
"Just DRIVE!" Eppie yelled.
"Okay, okay. Sorry. You know, Ep, you really need to take a chill pill."
Kim switched lanes in order to drive to the city.
"Why do you NEED to go to their hotel so badly anyway?" Kim asked.
"Kim, you would never believe it." Eppie replied, staring out the window.
"Try me."
"Okay... you see... the thing is.... Ya know that girl that Justin was
talking about?"
Kim nodded.
"....well, I'm the girl...."
"HAHA, very funny." Kim remarked sarcastically. "Seriously, though..."
"I am being serious." Eppie's feelings were beginning to get hurt. I CAN'T
BELIEVE KIM DOESN'T BELIEVE ME!....BUT I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF I BELIEVE ME
ANYMORE!
"You met Justin Timberlake of 'N SYNC in Florida?" Kim asked doubtfully.
"Yes.... I'd tell you the whole story, but it's kinda long..."
"Well," Kim replied, "we've got a good hour until we get to the hotel.
You've got plenty of time."
Eppie breathed in deeply. "Alright. Just hear me out and at least try to
take me seriously."
Kim nodded.
"Well, I went to Florida with my family... remember? And while we were
there... the guys from 'N Sync were in town. You knew that, Jesse got you
that autograph from Planet Hollywood. Remember?"
Kim nodded again.
"Well, we went to this Titanic museum and I met this guy....."
Eppie explained the whole story to Kim in about ten minutes.
"You're really serious, aren't you?" Kim asked in shock.
Eppie smiled. "Yeah, I am."

Drive Myself Crazy
Part Nine
**********************

"I can't believe it!" Kim said angrily. "This whole time you've been back,
not ONCE did you mention dating Justin Timberlake! I'm your BEST FRIEND,
Eppie! Why didn't you tell me?"
"You think it was easy? The only people that know about this are my
parents... and me.... and Justin... and probablly some of his friends.... I
wanted to tell you but I also just didn't want to talk or think about it. I
wanted to forget about him... us. Maybe I just figured that sometime I'd
wake up and realize that it was all some messed up dream..."
Kim calmed down a bit and smiled at Eppie. "This is so incredibly amazing
Eppie! The fact that you got to meet him is amazing but YOU DATED him! The
guy is GORGEOUS! You are one lucky girl!"
Eppie smiled then, slowly, her smile disappeared. "I have NO idea how I'm
gonna get to him."
"We'll think of something. Trust me." Kim replied.
They became silent. Each trying to devise a plan. Kim's eyes widened.
"I got it!" She yelled. "Maybe the radio station could hook you up with
their number at the hotel!"
"I doubt it." Eppie replied.
"C'mon, Ep. It's worth a shot. It couldn't hurt." Kim handed her cell phone
to Eppie.
"The number is 555-9810." Eppie dialed the number. Her heart began to race.
A woman with a very nasal voice answered the phone. "Hello?"
Eppie answered reluctantly. "Hi... is this the radio station?"
"Yes. What can I do for you?" The woman answered in an annoyed tone.
"I know this is going to sound super bazar but... Justin Timberlake was on
your station this morning and he talked about a girl that lives in Colorado
that he was like... in love with and stuff.... Well, the point I'm trying to
get to is..."
The lady cut her off. "You're the girl that Justin Timberlake was talking
about." The woman answered.
Eppie was so excited. "YES! That's right! I'm the girl! And I was kind of
wondering...."
"If you could get the number to his hotel room?" The woman finished for her.
"Wow! You're good." Eppie replied.
"Yeah." The woman snapped. "I've been getting calls from 'N Sync fans ALL
day claiming that they're the girl Justin Timberlake is... madly in love
with." She spoke in a melodramatic tone. "You don't fool me, hun. You REALLY
need to get a life. You're dealing with a person's emotions here!"
"...But!..." The woman hung up. Eppie set the phone down and looked over at
Kim angrily.
"I guess that means you didn't get the number, huh?"
Eppie nodded her head. "Got any more BRILLIANT ideas?" She said
sarcasticlly.
Once again they sat in silence thinking of a plan.
"I have a REALLY good plan this time. I promise!" Kim started.
"Well...?" Eppie asked impatiently.
