Summary: Sequel to Up Against the Wall.
At sixteen, Mackenzie Desrosiers has the world in the palm of her hand thanks in part to her ever growning choreography resume. When an unforeseen wrench gets thrown into her plans, she finds herself thrust into the spotlight that she had once been content to stay out of. No matter how busy she becomes she vows that the boys of *NSYNC will always come first, a fact that a powerful man in the world of entertainment becomes privy to. It’s not long before her life becomes a juggling act and she grasps onto anything that can give her an ounce of control. Even if that means taking some drastic measures.
"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel." --Carl W. Buechner

31. Liar! (It Takes One to Know One) by Mack_Attack22 [Comments - 6] (4518 words)
This update is long overdue. What can I say? Real life got in the way. As soon as classes started up again I wanted to give them my proper attention to be sure that I actually did well. Not that I don't but I was taking a history class on the civial war this semester and, well, let's just say that history isn't one of my favorite classes. After getting a not-so-stellar grade on my mind-term I forced myself to buckle down and I think it finally paid off. Now that it's the end fo the year I should have more time to dedicate to wringint my stories again. I hope you all enjoy this chapter and thanks to those who are still sticking with me and have been patient with me during my time of absence. This one's for you. =)

But here's the next chapter in the mean time. Thank you all for being so patient with me.
