Part 16

Here we were in Jackson, Mississippi getting ready to do the same thing all over again. This time I got to sit in on sound check and everything else that I missed. Tonight, Klaire and I were going to sit on a couch back near the lighting tower. Nikole, and Amaya were going to join us as well. Each night the guys got to pick two people that would be able to sit in that section if they wanted to.
"Argh, I don't know who I'm going to have sit on the couch tonight. None of my friends, or family live around here, and none of them are coming tonight. Got any suggestions, Rach?" Joey said.
"Me? Well can I pick a girl for you to sit back there? Like a fan that I approve of?" I asked. "Sure, go for it. Take an extra pass with you when they start to line-up tonight and get someone for me. We are going to have an after-show party at Lance's family's house since its not too far away. Talk her into coming with to that. She'll be invited to that too. Please, I'd love it, if you'd do this for me."
"I'm sure I won't have trouble 'talking' a girl into sitting in a special section, and going to a party with you guys."
"Make sure she likes me."
"Don't worry. I'll take care of it. So, we're all going to Lance's house after the show tonight?" I asked knowing nothing about it before Joey had mentioned it.
"Yeah. Please, get someone nice."
"I will."
"Rachael."
"Yeah?"
"Thanks," he said giving me hug.
"Not a problem, Joey. We'll I'm going to go find the lucky girl. Wish me luck, for your sake!" I said with a smile and then left.
I walked around the Coliseum to the doors, so I could go outside to get a girl. I wasn't sure how I was going to go about getting the girl, but I decided I'd play it by ear. I saw a couple of girls. I walked up to them.
"Hi," I said with a smile on my face, hoping that the one was over the age of sixteen.
"Hi," one of them replied.
"How old are you girls?"
"I'm nineteen," the girl said to me.
"I'm seven," the little girl said.
"What are your names?"
The nineteen-year-old replied first again; "I'm Amanda McKeehan, and this is Kerri, my little sister."
Amanda had brown shoulder length hair and green eyes. She was about 5'8" tall. She was a very pretty girl. Her little sister, Kerri, had brown hair as well but a little lighter. She had brown eyes. She was an adorable little girl, who resembled her sister in many ways.
"So, who's your favorite?"
"I like all of them," Kerri said quickly with a huge smile on her face.
"What's your name?" Amanda asked me.
"I'm Rachael, sorry I didn't introduce myself sooner. I'm twenty-years-old."
"Nice to meet you," Amanda said.
"So, who's your favorite, Amanda?"
"Amanda's favorite is Joey, cause he's from New York, and we are from New Jersey."
"You guys came all the way from New Jersey to see 'N Sync?" I asked in shock.
"Yeah. Kerri wanted to see them, and I told my mom I'd take her with me if she'd let us go to a concert out of town."
"That's a good way to get to go!" I said smiling, "So you like Joey?"
"Yeah. He's definitely very good looking. He also seems really nice."
"You wouldn't like to meet him, and the other guys at all, would you?" I asked knowing that Amanda was the girl I thought Joey would like.
"How can we meet them? We don't have any backstage passes," Amanda said.
"I can't get you guys VIP passes and seats. Then there is an after party at Lance's house that you can come to as well."
"How can you get VIP passes?"
"I'm JC's fiancée. Joey wanted me to find him a girl that I thought was nice, and that liked him best in the group. I am so serious. They each get two seats in a VIP section. None of his family, or friends are around in this area, nor are any of them coming to the show tonight, so he has no one in his two places."
"You're JC's fiancée? Really?" Amanda said almost choking on her words.
"Yes," I said showing her my ring, "here's the VIP passes if you want them."
I got the passes out of my pocket and showed her them.
"Me? You want to know if me and Kerri want to come and sit in a VIP section and then go to a party with the guys? Why wouldn't we?" she said with a smile grabbing the passes.
"Well, we've got to get in there."
We walked back up to the door. Lonnie was there to let us in. He stopped Kerri and Amanda.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Lonnie, they're with me. Joey sent me to get them."
"Alright. Go on in."
We walked down the hall back to where the dressing rooms were at. I opened the door when we got there, but none of the guys were in there. Klaire was the only one in there, and she was sleeping on a couch.
"I bet I know where they are," I said implying the meet and greet as where they were.
We went to where the meet and greet was at. They were all sitting at the table signing everything from posters to CD jackets for the girls. I motioned Amanda and Kerri to follow me. They did, while staring in awe. "Just remember, they are just 'N Sync," I said jokingly with a smile.
"Just? This is too cool," Amanda said, "Kerri, you better be good. Don't ever say I don't do anything with you."
"I'm going to be really good!" Kerri said with a smile on her face and her hands clasped together.
Joey was at the end of the table that was facing us. He looked over and saw me, motioning me to come over there. I walked over to the table.
"Is that the girl you got for me?" Joey asked with a dreamy smile on his face.
"Yeah, you approve?" I asked even though I knew he did. "Yeah, I do. Who's the little one?"
"Her kid sister."
"So, what's her name?"
"Amanda McKeehan, and her sister's name is Kerri. Amanda is nineteen and Kerri is seven. They are from somewhere in New Jersey, and came all the way here just to see you guys. Amanda definitely likes you. She says you are good looking and you seem like you are really nice."
"Well, bring them over here."
I walked over to Amanda and Kerri and told them to come over to the table with me.
"Hi," Joey said to Amanda.
"Hi," she said in a really soft voice.
"Hi, Joey," Kerri said in an excited voice.
"Well, hello, Kerri."
Her eyes opened really wide, surprised that he knew her name; "he knows my name, Amanda."
We all laughed; "it's nice to meet you, Joey," Amanda said.
"It's nice to meet you too."

Part 17

The show started, Klaire was up on stage doing her announcing. It was the same people opening, obviously, since it was their summer tour. There were quite a few people who sang along with the Sugarhill Gang. With Jordan Knight on the other hand, the just screamed for him.
"Rachael, thanks," Amanda said to me after Jordan had got done performing.
"Yeah. No problem. I know how you feel. Last night was my first concert of theirs."
"Really? You haven't seen a bunch of shows? How long have you and JC been together?" she asked.
"Only about two weeks."
"Really? I thought you two probably had been together quite a while since you two are engaged."
"We spent every possible moment with each other last week, well the whole time we've been together."
"I bet that was really cool though. You got to see him every way possible, and he did got to see you in every way possible as well. How'd you guys have so much time together?"
"They had a break in their schedule. Klaire knew Justin, well they were, well are, together and she introduced me to JC, from that night on, all the guys stayed at my apartment with me and Klaire."
"That's really cool! I'm jealous!" she said with a smile.
"I wouldn't be jealous. They can be pigs!" I said, then laughed.
She laughed; "well, thanks for choosing me for Joey. This is so cool. I'm really glad Kerri and I got to go to this concert."
"I bet. Otherwise, you might have just been sitting home right now, or watching them on TV reruns of the Disney Channel in concert special," I said knowing that's probably what I would have been doing if Klaire had never known them.
"Probably."
"Well girls, I know you are all ready for this. Here they are 'N Sync!" Klaire said up on stage.
Amanda and I stopped talking. We weren't going to be able to talk during the concert, because of the shrieks from the female audience members. I wanted to talk to her more, she was a really cool girl. I knew she was perfect for Joey. He needed someone who was clam, and that might settle his hormones down a notch.
From time to time, I glanced over at Amanda, and Kerri to see if they were enjoying themselves. In some way I knew they were, but I still wanted to make sure. Kerri was bopping her head, singing every word of every song along with the guys. Amanda was standing moving ever so slightly from side to side, enjoying every bit of each song. It was so great to see them enjoying the concert.
Klaire kept quite silent throughout the whole show. I didn't know if she was still mad at me, or if something else was bothering her. I wanted so desperately to talk to her right then and there, but I knew she wouldn't be able to hear me, and it would be worthless to even try.
I was incredibly excited for tonight after the concert. It would be such a great time. Nikole, Amaya, Klaire, Amanda, and me were all going to be there, so each of the guys had a girl to talk to and be with. I wanted her and Joey to become a couple, so desperately, I didn't quite know why, but I did. I guess I wanted someone else to feel as much happiness as I've felt the past two weeks.

Part 18

After the concert on the way to Clinton, Mississippi, we all rode in the tour bus, except for Amanda, Kerri, and Joey. They all rode in Amanda's car, since she had it with at the show.
Amanda had a '97 yellow dodge neon. It was a really cool car. Joey insisted that he rode with Amanda, so that he would be able to get to know her, without all of the rest of us around him.
"I hope you know where you are going, because if we lose these guys, I have no idea where I am going," Amanda said to Joey. "Yeah, I know where I'm going," Joey said smiling.
"Alright."
It only took us about twenty minutes to get to Lance's house. Amanda and Joey talked to each other the rest of the way to Lance's house. I was the first one to get out of the bus when we arrived at Lance's house. JC followed me out. Amanda and Joey both got out of Amanda's car. Amanda looked in the backseat and saw that her little sister was asleep.
I walked over to where they were. I looked in the car, "how cute," I said seeing that Kerri was fast asleep.
"I'll get her for you, Amanda," Joey said opening the car door.
"Thank you," Amanda said smiling.
We all walked into the house where Lance's mom, dad, sister, and brother-in-law were. Lance was a person who liked to do introductions, so introduced us to his family. "Mom, dad, Stacy, Ford, this is Rachael, Klaire, Amaya, Amanda. You know Nikole and the guys, and the little sleeping one is Kerri, Amanda's sister," Lance said.
"Hi," his mom and dad said together.
"Guys this is my mom, Diane, my dad Jim, my sister Stacy, and her husband Ford."
"Hi," Klaire, Amanda, and me all said in unison.
"Well let's go out back and start the party. Some of my friends should be out there," Lance said. We all went outside to the backyard. I knew I still needed to talk to Klaire. I went and found her and grabbed her by the arm.
"Klaire, we need to talk," I said pulling her over to some chairs. "Why?" she asked. "Please. I'm sick of putting this off. I don't know why you are so upset, but I really would like to talk about it."
"Fine," she said as we walked over to some patio chairs.
"What are you so upset over, Klaire? I'm sorry for whatever I did."
"I'm not mad at you, Rach…" Klaire begun to say as Justin came up to her and grabbed her around the waist.
"Hey, sweetie," Justin said wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Hi," she said smiling as he kissed her.
JC walked over to me a few seconds after Justin came over to Klaire. I was so happy to be with him. I knew that he was the one that I had always wanted. He looked so beautiful as he walked towards me.
Klaire and Justin walked away from me. I still really wanted to talk to Klaire, but it was obvious that she didn't want to talk to me. I knew that eventually if she wanted to talk, she would come find me.
It was so great to see each one of the guys with someone. I was happy for Joey and Amanda. Joey was so sweet how he took her little sister out of the car. Once we got up to the house, while Lance was doing the introductions, Joey was still holding Kerri in his arms.
Lance's mom, Diane, showed Joey and Amanda a room where they could put Kerri to bed. Most of us were going to stay at the Bass's house anyway, since they had a relatively large house that all of us could fit in. Joey and Amanda both tucked Kerri into bed. "Thanks, Joey," Amanda said

Part 19

JC and I were downstairs in the den of the house. In the den there were three couches, and two recliners. There was a grand piano in the right-hand corner of the room. I sat down in one of the recliners next to the piano as JC walked over to the piano and sat down. "What are you doing?" I asked.
"I'm going to play for you," he said starting to play a few chords. "What are you going to play?"
"What's your favorite song?"
"I don't know. I like too many songs to pick a favorite."
"Okay, then what's a song you like?" he asked.
"Um…how about that song by Chicago, 'You're the Inspiration'," I said wondering if JC would even remember that song.
He sighed, "I love that song. It's beautiful."
He started to play a few chords of the song by ear.
"You know our love was meant to be," he began to sing, "the kind of love that lasts forever. And I want you here with me, from tonight until the end of time. You should know, everywhere I go. Always on my mind, in my heart, in my soul. You're the meaning in my life. You're the inspiration. You bring feeling to my life. You're the inspiration. Wanna have you near me, I wanna have you hear me saying. No one needs you more than I need you."
I could not believe that he remembered that song from so long ago. While he played it, I wanted to melt. It was so sweet of him to play a song for me
"Wow. I can't believe you remembered that, and could play it so well."
"Well I knew that song before I was with 'N Sync. I always use to play it, because I loved that song. It's very beautiful."
"You said that already. I'd have to agree though, it is beautiful."
"Come here," JC said.
I got up from my chair and headed towards the piano where JC was sitting. He stood up from the piano bench.
"I love you," he said as he put his arms around me.
"I love you, too," I said.
I closed my eyes, and JC kissed me gently on my forehead.
"So when are we going to have our wedding," JC asked.
"Well I don't know. You guys are touring right now, and that doesn't end till the beginning of October."
"Yeah I know my schedule is really crazy right now. It'll slow down in October, though. We really need to plan for our wedding."
"Hey, guys. Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt," Justin said walking into the den. "Hey, J, it's alright," I said.
"Rachael, can I talk to you?" Justin asked.
"Sure."
"Alone?" he asked, "sorry, no offense JC, I just need to talk to her alone."
"It's alright. I'll be outside when you two are done, Rach."
"Alright," I said as JC walked out the door and shut it, "what's up?"
"Have you seen Klaire?" he asked really worried.
"No. Isn't she here?" I asked. "I haven't been able to seem to find her since she walked away from me, after you two were talking. I don't know where she could have gone, Rach. I'm really worried."
"J, I don't know what to say. No one else has seen her?" I asked starting to get worried myself.
"No. That's why I'm so worried. Please help me find her," Justin said starting to cry. I could tell that she meant a lot to him, because most guys would not get this upset if they couldn't find someone. I just put my arms around him, and gave him a hug. He put his head on my shoulder, and cried.
I didn't have the slightest clue as where to even look for her. Klaire liked to wonder sometimes, especially when things were really bothering her. I felt partially to blame, but I didn't want to tell Justin about the fight Klaire and me had had.
Justin and I both walked upstairs after we were done talking. We were going to check with everyone else, once again, just to make sure no one knew where she was. Just as we had got upstairs, the backdoor of the house opened as someone came in the door.
