Chapter 5
Hi so basically this chapter is about Peggy and Alex's relationship, and some Jeggy Fluff because why not-
Anyway enjoy!
PEGGY POV
I groaned as I woke up to my phone going off. I glanced at the time. Ugh 2:45 am. I looked at who was calling me and it was John. I quickly looked over at Maria to make sure she was still asleep. She was and thank God, she needed all the sleep she could get. I grabbed my phone and walked into our small kitchen so my conversation wouldn't wake up Maria.
"John?" I answered the phone as thunder shook the room.
"Peggy! Thank God you answered" John sounded relieved and scared at the same time.
"What's so important at 3am?" I snapped a bit, I'm not the nicest when I'm woken up. I saw a flash if lightning and heard heavy rain all over. It's storming pretty bad out there.
"Alex! I don't know what's wrong and he won't tell me! He's hysterically crying and tearing himself apart! He only wants you for some reason"
Why would Alex-
I gasped a bit.
The hurricane. He only told me.
"I'll be right there" I quickly hung up and ran out of the room.
John opened the door and lead me into the boy's bedroom.
There was Alex, curled into a ball, pulling on his hair, and sobbing.
I sat down next to him, putting an arm around his back.
"P-Peggy?" Alex looked up at me and I pulled him into a hug.
"It's ok Alex"
He sobbed into my shoulder for a while before passing out. We were sitting on his bed so I laid him down and got up. He grabbed my wrist and said, "Can you stay in our dorm tonight? And make sure John stays too"
I nodded and went to get a drink of water.
John was in the kitchen when I walked in, it was dark but I noticed he was shirtless. I felt my cheeks going pink as I looked at his abs and biceps.
"How'd you calm him down?" John asked me causing my eyes to move from his abs to his face.
"I-I don't really know"
"What was wrong?" John was concerned and just trying to help but I knew that wasn't my story to tell.
"Umm... I don't know?" I hesitated lying to John but I knew Alex would never forgive me if I told him.
"Oh ok" John looked down a bit sighing.
"A-Alex asked me to stay in your dorm tonight, but he also wants to make sure you don't leave" I caught myself looking at John's muscles again.
"Ok, you can sleep in my bed, I'll sleep on the couch"
"No, John, you should sleep in your bed. Not me"
"Pegs..."
I didn't realize it but I was admiring his muscles again and this time he noticed.
"So, like what you see?" John laughed.
My checks flushed a deep red as I quickly looked away.
"Hey, how's your foot?"
"Um," I had kinda forgotten about it with all that had gone on but now that I was thinking about it, it really hurt. "It's ok, I guess" I realized that I've been standing on it for like and hour now and it was really starting to hurt.
"You know... we could just sleep in my bed together." John avoided eye contact as I was positive both our faces were red.
"O-Ok" I stuttered, then smiled.
"Let's go" he smiled.
We started walking and I immediately tripped because of my throbbing foot. I fell right into John's arms. He looked into my eyes and I stared into his. John smiled a bit, his face a bright red and inches from mine. He swooped me up into his arms causing me to screech a bit.
"John, What are you doing?!" I whisper-yelled trying not to wake up Alex.
He smirked and just set me down next to him in his bed. John's bed was across from Alex's so I guess it's the best way for both if us to be able to keep an eye of him.
I sighed and John pulled me into a hug. I deeply blushed and snuggled closer. I felt like the world had stopped, I couldn't hear the rain, I forgot about Alex, it was just me and John.
TIME SKIP TO LE MORNING
I woke up, not in my bed. I then remembered Alex asking me to stay last night. I was facing his bed and noticed he wasn't there. I just laid there, but it felt like I wasn't alone. I looked over and screamed.
"JOHN OH MY GOD!" I suddenly remembered everything from last night.
John shot up. "WHAT? WHAT'S WRONG? ARE YOU OK?"
"Nothing, you just scared the living shit out of me!"
"Well you just did that to me!"
"Good morning lovebirds" Alex was standing in the doorway, which me and John didn't notice till now. I looked away to hide my blush.
"Are you ok now Alex?" I asked him trying to forget what he just said.
"Yeah, thanks Pegs."
"Alex will you tell me what was wrong?" John pled.
"Peggy you actually kept my secret!" Alex was tearing up and I was glad he was happy but I was terrified because he just basically told John I lied.
"What do you mean?" John looked at both of us.
"John, can you come with me, I'll explain everything." Alex smiled at his best friend weakly.
The boys walked out of the room and my mind started racing. What if John hates me for lying to him? What if him and Alex fight because Alex told me before John? What if they did fight and I had to pick sides? What if-
My thoughts were interrupted by both boys walking back into the room.
"Thanks again Pegs" Alex walked over and hugged me. I hugged him back and John looked in shock.
"John are you ok?" I asked.
"Y-yeah, I'm just surprised, that's all" John's eyes mellowed a little.
I walked over to John and wrapped my arms around him.
"What's this for?" John said hugging me back.
"You just looked like you needed it" I smiled.
"Ahem!" Alex snarled causing us to stop hugging and look at him. "So what'd you guys do once I fell asleep?" He smirked.
I mumbled "I fucking looked at John's hot abs and I don't regret it"
Apparently I didn't say that as quite as I thought.
"Oh really now?" Alex smirked trying not to laugh.
"I was unaware that I was hot" John looked down at me. He was much taller than me and it was a bit intimidating. I turned a dark red.
"Oh by the way how is your ankle?" John stopped teasing me and went into serious mode. "And don't lie to me this time."
I sighed. "If I'm not lying to you, it really friggen hurts."
"Why don't you rest?" Alex came beside me, placing a hand on my shoulder looking like an overprotective older brother.
"Well I need to help Maria today-"
"No. You're putting ice on your foot and resting." John's voice was serious yet soothing.
"You're also staying here because I don't trust you to actually listen to us." Alex added.
"Come on guys! It's just a little sprain, I'll be fine!"
"True, however, if you don't let it heal it can become a lot worse. So I don't care what you want, you're resting." John looked at me and his eyes met mine again. We just stared at each other for a minute. The world gone again. Just me and John.
"Are you gonna kiss?" Oh, yeah, I forgot about Alex. My face flushed a bright pink again.
"Oh shush, what if I did kiss her?" John suddenly said making me blush harder at the thought of us kissing.
"First, I'd tell you not to break her heart because she's like a sister to me and I'll ditch your ass. Second, I'd definitely be fangirling because I've shipped you two since you met." Alex smirked at both of us
My face turned so red you would think I was dying.
