Chapter 36 ( A haunted heart)
Well. Here we are... The end. I can't believe we made it till here. I am crying right now because i will miss this story. I will miss it a lot. I will miss all the things i had to go through to write this and i can't believe i'm saying goodbye. I made it as long as possible and decided not to make two parts of it. It's my gift to you after evertything you had to put up with me. Like grammar mistakes and waiting and everything. I hope you will love it. This last chapter is dedicated to all of you.
Enjoy my sugars... ♥
p.s. Tiff (a mistake) it's actually Tess :)
Angie Kayla and me sat in my room playing the tape over and over on my laptop.
“I can’t tell anything from this tape.”
“Maybe we should just tell the boys everything.”
“no way.” I added immediately. “And let J.D think i am incapable of anything..No fucking way.”
“Is this why you’re doing this? To prove something to J.D?” Angie asked
“well...yeah..”
She burst laughing. “Julie, Julie, Julie...My history of knowing you proves to me something. You have lost it.”
“why? Because he is a man and can do anything?”
“Sweetie. We let men do all the work and make them feel special because we are lazy to do it ourselves. Not because we can’t. That’s why they have the impression of us as the weaker sex.”
I sighed. “He didn’t let me help. He said that if i had won one fight it doesn’t mean i will win another one.”
“oh honey.” She hugged me. “Is this the reason you are not answering his phone calls?”
“Yes.” I said lowering my head.
“And is this the reason you are sad and very bitchy lately.”
“yes.” I said quietly.
“Oh well. I guess the only good thing about this is the makeup sex you two will have later.” She laughed as I blushed and kicked her.
“i just had to...” She laughed again and fell on my bed.
“hey guys look at this.” Kayla nudged me and made me look at the screen.
“what is it? Do you see something?” I panicked.
“I’m not sure but...Look.” She pauses and pointed towards one of the attackers hands.
“What? I don’t see anything.”
“there...” She replays it over and over. “How can you not see it.”
“i am blind.”
“there is something green on his hand.”
I try to see it but i can’t.
“It’s probably just a reflection.”
“Okay I’ll play it from the begging.”
She played the tape and me and Angie watched. Then really something green showed on one of the attackers hand.
“i saw it.” I yelled.
“Me too.” Said Angie.
“What is that?”
“I don’t know. Maybe a bracelet or something..”
“do you know anyone who would wear it?” Kayla asked.
“No. But we’ll find out.”
(J.D’s p.o.v)
“Come on Julie pick up you stubborn woman.” I rang and rang but Julie refused to answer. Ugh. This is idiotic, i can’t believe she is mad at me for something so stupid. I cursed. I walked out of my car and decided to pay her a little visit. I was thinking about going though the window like always but I think she would just push me off it. I rang on the door bell and her mother opened the door.
“Oh J.D..Hey sweetie. Come in. Julie didn’t tell me she was expecting you.”
I smiled at her trying not to look suspicious. “Oh I wanted to surprise her.”
“Well she’s upstairs with Kayla and Angie.”
I thought Kayla was feeling bad.
“I will just go and say hi.” I smiled and went up the stairs. “Oh and congratulations on the baby.”
“Thank you J.D.” She smiled back.
“Is it a boy or a girl?”
“It’s a girl, but we want to surprise Julie so don’t tell her. She would be so glad to have a sister.” She winked.
“Sure thing.” I grinned and then headed towards Julie’s room. I heard their voices and before I entered I listened to every word.
“He didn’t let me help. He said that if i had won one fight it doesn’t mean I will win another one.”
Oh for the love of god…
(Julie’s p.o.v)
“No. But we’ll find out.”
The door opened and J.D stood with his arms crossed.
“Hey. What are you…doing here?” I stood up looking at him as Kayla tried to shut off the screen.
“I can’t believe you went behind my back.” He looked at me like I have done something unforgivable. I tried breathing steady.
“J.D…”
“No..This time you won’t get off with sweet talking.”
I pouted. “What made you think I was going to sweet talk to you.”
Angie and Kayla stood up and walked towards the door.
“We’ll be downstairs if you need us.” I smiled and they walked out of the room closing the door behind them. J.D never let his looks off me. Not even for a second.
“When did we start going behind our backs?” He came closer still arms crossed. As much as I was angry at him I must say he looked really hot in the moment.
“The moment you decided you can handle things yourself.”
“Really Julie? What happened to the deal “I will protect you”.”
His eyes were like ice. But I didn’t feel cold. I only felt fire.
“You are lousy at your job.” I smiled coldly.
“Do you really want to have this fight?” He came even closer. I took a step back.
“Is that a threat?”
“Oh I am threatening you alright! Either you put a stop to this nonsense or I will put an end my self.”
“What nonsense? Oh you mean the tape I got. And the clue I got. All by my self. And the thing that I am closer then you finding out who the attackers were? Are we talking about that nonsense?”
His eyes focused on mine.
“Someone is getting snobby.” He came a step forward again. Damn it. I slowly made a step back.
“I don’t even get why are you pretending to be mad in this situation when I am the one furious.”
“oh I’m not pretending.” He came even closer. Carefully Julie. No sudden movement. I waked one more step back.
“You are just jealous?”
“Jealous of what? I am not jealous. I am pissed off because my girlfriend doesn’t trust me and goes behind my back.”
I bit my lip.
“I never said I don’t trust you. But I was offended when you decided to push me out and deal with stuff yourself. Now that’s not partnership.”
“So tell me Julie…” He came closer. Damn it. “What kind of boyfriend would I be if I let my girlfriend get into trouble and get hurt.”
“The kind of boyfriend that should know by now that we do things together not apart. We dealt with everything together so why should we make an exception this time.”
He came closer and I took another step back..Ouch..I hit the wall. He put his hands on the each side of the wall capturing me.
“they had guns.” He looked at me dead serious. “Guns Julie. Now you can be mad as much as you want to but I will not let you go get involved in something that has guns or knifes or any kind of dangerous weapons. Hey, I might even forbid you to work in the kitchen.”
“Forbid me?” The word made me pissed off. I couldn’t even pronounce it without anger. “Well this is the deal J.D. Put yourself in my position. You are practically telling me that it’s a deadly situation in which case you might get hurt and I have to stay out of it.” He started speaking but I interrupted him.
“You are telling me that it’s better for me to be safe and you to get hurt. Your life is not less worth then mine. And I don’t care how long is going to take for you to realize that no matter what you do and what you say and how many times you convince me to stay out in a situation you can get hurt hon, I won’t.”
With that I kneeled and managed to get out underneath his hand but before I could get away he pulled me back and captured me again.
“You are actually saying you are doing this because my life is at stake.”
I glared at him. Oh come on Einstein, you must be better then this. Loading….
He let out a sarcastic laugh. “You will actually risk your life for mine.”
“I don’t see how this is funny to you.”
“You are risking everything for me? You are actually mad because I am more concerned about you then me?” He was smiling in misbelieve
“oh my god as nothing from what I said so far gotten into your head?”
“I am not clear on something and you need you to answer me something.”
I rolled my eyes.
“Does this mean you would jump in front of a bullet for me?” He asked looking into my eyes.
“Without no doubt and you…”
I was cut off by a kiss. I was pressed against the wall, my breathing was going rigid and uneven. But my hands found themselves around his neck and shoulders grabbing onto his shirt. His hands travelled down from my cheek to my neck.. to my lower back. All the way down my thigh as it cupped the back of my knees and he pulled my legs up until they were perched on his waist. He pressed me hard enough he wouldn’t need to support me. His hands were gliding over my body, feeling every inch of me. His lips left mine to press against my neck, sending chills down the back of my spine and up. And when he would bite, every nerve was on the edge. I sank my fingers onto his back and then I brushed his hair while pulling him up to kiss him again. All the sense and all the anger was vanishing in a second.
“God I missed this.” He murmured over my lips and kissed me again.
“Why do we fight anyways?” I kissed his neck and then his lips again.
“so we can have awesome make up sex later.” He looked at me and winked.
I smirked. “Have I ever told you how much I hate eavesdropping?”
He grinned. “Have I ever told you how hot you look when your lips are swollen and you are all angry and stuff with me?”
I chuckled. “No but I am ready to listen.”
“How about I just show you?”
Before I could say anything he kissed me again and his hands went under my shirt.
I bit his lower lip and sucked on it. I just knew how he loved that. His other hand lingered up my leg to my inner thigh.
I pushed my self of the wall and he had to get his other hand of my shirt so he can hold me. He never stopped kissing me though. Walking backwards we found the bed and he fall on it with me on top of him. I laughed and pulled his shirt off. He pulled mine off right away and I kissed him again. My lips travelled down his neck. I heard his chuckle.
“Wait..we need…protection.” He laughed and as he reached for the pocket I felt that we were slipping of the bed. Before I knew what was happening we were on the ground and he was on top of me.
We started laughing like crazy. I buried my head in his shoulder and kept on laughing. Then something happened. I heard the door opened. Oh crap. Please don’t me mom, please don’t be mom, please don’t be mom………………………………
“Hey Jules…”
Julies? I looked up side down on the door. Jake was standing there with an open mouth and started laughing. Oh thank you god.
“You are so lucky….” He kept on laughing and came in closing the door behind him.
“I am saving your ass from your mom two times in a row.”
I rolled my eyes and smiled coldly.
“Thanks Jake now could you turn around a little.”
“Yap sure.”
He turned around and kept talking.
“So…as your big brother should I play mean and tough and kick J.D’s ass out?”
“You wish.” I heard J.D saying as I got up and looked for my shirt
and threw J.D his shirt.
After we were both dressed Jake turned around.
“Why did you came here ? And you could at least knock next time.” I looked at Jake with a mean look.
“I came here because I wanted to see how were you and you know…I mean can your brother come for a cup of coffee.”
I swear if we were in a movie there would be crickets in this moment.
After the awkward silence Jake started telling the truth.
“Fine. I found out that you got the tape and I wanted to find out what was on it before J.D or anyone else would.”
J.D starred at him deadly.
“Oh come on dude. The girls were ahead of us on this one. If you can’t beat your enemies, join them.”
“well excuse me for not seeing my girlfriend as the enemy.”
J.D sighed and sat on the bed.
“So where are we on this whole separate work thing ?” Jake asked and it got me thinking where were we?? I sat next to J.D and waited for an answer.
J.D pulled my hand in his lap and wrapped his fingers in mine.
“we are doing this together.”
I looked at him and smiled. He smiled back.
“Very touching guys but more romance later now let’s get to work.” He opened the door and yelled after Angie and Kayla.
I had to laugh at him.
“How about we just go someplace else?” I asked looking at Jake.
“Oh no, I love it here.” Jake smiled in response.
I puffed and then smiled. “Okay Jakey but if I get carried away don’t be mad okay?” In that moment I pulled J.D closed and started kissing him again talking some mushy words.
“Ugh. Fine fine. Just stop it.”
Me and J.D laughed and walked out of the room.
So I am glad to tell you that all of us were sitting in the park. And I mean all of us. Mark and Yvonne, Jake and Monica, Chris and Kayla, Johnny and Angie and me and J.D. We are a team now. And that’s how we should work from now on. After we shared all the information it was time for to work out a strategy.
“So do we know anyone with a green bracelet?” I asked.
“Nope.”
“Nah..”
Everyone’s answer was negative.
“So this is the only clue we have so far from the attackers.”
I sighed. “How are we supposed who it was?”
“Well let’s see who do we have as a suspect.” Angie suggested.
“Okay…” I gave an encouraging smile. “We have three suspects so far. Craw and his minions, Steven and Shelly.”
I could see J.D’s face when I mentioned Shelly.
“I don’t get why my ex is in this? You beat the crap out of her so many times. Give the girl a break.” He laughed.
“I don’t care. She is evil. She is on the list.”
“Now I really do wish you had as ex so I can put him on the last.” He smirked.
“Well I can start right now if you want to.” I smirked back. He shut his mouth and I gave a dangerous look to everyone who was about to laugh or say something.
“Do you guys really think Craw can work outside his prison bars?” Johnny asked.
“Well he could have. Haven’t you seen all the movies? Haven’t you seen prison break?” Mark asked Johnny.
“But it could be Steven. That’s why he wanted to come back.” J.D started.
“He saved us. I don’t think he would just hit us on the head and then he came back to help us. It doesn’t make sense.”
“Maybe he did it to get close to us.” J.D added.
“Okay…So three suspects…Any more to add to the list?”
I asked but everyone kept quiet.
“Let’s take a vote. Who thinks the attacks was Craw’s doing?”
Yvonne, Mark, Kayla and Jake raised their hands.
“Okay who thinks Steven is behind this?”
J.D, Chris, Johnny and Monika raised their hands.
I sighed disappointed. “Does anyone here think Shelly is behind this besides me?”
Nope, no answer.
“Okay glad we settled this and it’s a tie.” I smiled sarcastically.
“So what do we do next?” Jake asked
“Well I say it’s best if we do a little research. Boys you go and check on Craw and his stay in jail. Girls…” J.D looked at me and then them . “Keep an eye on Shelly and Julie..You will have to go and talk to Steven and find out if he has something to hide.”
“Why do I have to talk to Steven?”
“Because people around you lash out their secrets.” J.D gave Jake a quick look.
“Fine.” I sighed and stood up.
“I am going to do that right now and grab an ice cream. I will live you in the leader’s hands.” I waved at everybody and kissed J.D winking at him as I left.
I decided it was time to call Steven. I dialled his number hoping he didn’t change it and waited an answer.
“Hello?”
“Hey Steven is Julie.”
“Yeah I know, I’m just surprised you called.”
“Oh…Well…Would you like to grab an ice cream or something now?”
“What does J.D have to say about that?”
“He is okay with it. I actually wanted to talk to you about something.”
“Okay. Where are you.”
“I am…” I looked around me and saw the amusement park when I first found out J.D was afraid of heights.
“Meet me at the amusement park.”
“Okay. See you there in fifteen minutes.”
Okay. Time to get to work.
I sat on the bench in the park waiting for Steven. It has passed 20 minutes and he still was no where to be found. I tried calling him twice but he didn’t answer.
I was ready to quit when I saw him coming in my direction. He bent and kissed my cheek.
“Hey Julie. I apologize for making you wait. I was…”
“It doesn’t matter. Let’s just go someplace we can talk.”
Steven looked very intense. I was going to ask him why but I didn’t want to alert him so I just kept my eye on him as we made our way towards the bridge . We looked down watching the children’s small racing cars driving beneath us.
“What did you wanted to talk about?”
Steven asked nervously.
“It’s nothing scary relax.”
“I am not worried.” He smirked and I was surprised how good of an actor he was.
“Okay. I just wanted to spend some time with you. I know that after the attack J.D has been a little tough but…I wanted to say I’m sorry instead of him because you helped us and he is blaming you..:”
“that’s not a problem , he has every right to think it’s me….”
I interrupted him.
“Yeah I know. But he was wrong and I talked to him about it. I just want you to know that he has fate in you. That you are going to change…that you already are changed…”I watched him very carefully. He kept on touching his nose and he couldn’t look me in the eyes. Great. If he is the attacker J.D will torture me until I die about how he was right. Only one way to find out.
“I am glad you changed. I think you are a great person Steven and it’s a big step you took.” I smiled at him. He smiled back. I put my hand out for a shake.
“Let’s call it a final truce.”
He pulled his hand out and shook mine. I saw his green bracelet. Great. Just perfect.
“I like your bracelet.” I smiled at him trying to be as natural as it could.
“Thanks. I made it myself.” He smiled back.
“It looks cool.” I played casual.
“I could make you want if you want. I make them and sell them online.”
Wait a minute….It got me thinking again.
“Do people buy them?” I asked more interested then I should.
“Yeah. I have sold more then twenty this month. In that way I’m paying some expenses I owe to my aunt.”
I pulled my hair back confused.
“So do you deliver them to people or just…”
“I send them through the mail.”
I nodded my head slightly. Could this mean many people could have that bracelet? Is that too much of a coincidence.?
“Julie are you okay?” He asked.
“Yes.” I answered loudly. “You know what. I would love it if you could make me one.”
He smiled satisfied and we walked further. It was getting dark and there were different lights everywhere. We passed the children’s playgrounds and we were now looking at the big role coasters and the haunted house…Ugh…Chills ran down my spine . We walked a little further until we found some shooting targets.
“Hey, wanna try it?” Steven pushed my shoulder.
“Been a gangster, learned to shot and now you want to be a show off in front of me?” I asked teasingly. “Okay let’s do it.”
He laughed and we both grabbed a gun to shoot the target. After a while we saw the results. Of course he had some pretty good shots while I was lucky to hit even three.
“That’s not fair. Look how good you were. I want a rematch” I complained while he just laughed.
“such a bad loser.”
“I am not.”
“Are too.”
“Are not.”
“Are too.”
“Okay stop.” I laughed and grabbed the gun. “I am doing this again.”
“But you can’t beat me.”
“Don’t dare me.” I smiled and aimed at him.
“Fuck.” He was serious.
“Oh come on I wasn’t really going to shot you.” I smiled and put the gun away but then saw him looking behind me.
I turned around but there was nothing suspicious.
“Hey, what were you looking at?” I turned to him but he was gone. For a moment I thought he was joking with me but the gun was gone.
I started to look around to find him. Fear started crawling in me. I tried to find my phone but it was gone. I asked the salesman to borrow me his phone but I had to pay him. I gave him my last money and tried calling Steven but he didn’t answer. I dialled J.D’s phone but he didn’t pick up either. I was getting more nervous by the minute. I dialled Johnny. Finally he answered.
“Hey are you okay?”
“Yeah I’m fine. Is J.D with you?”
“No. Isn’t he with you.”
“No.”
“Well he said he was going after you. Shelly found him and she told him that Steven will try to harm you. He tried calling you but your phone was off. We all got scared. He went after you.”
“Yeah. But I can’t reach him. Steven didn’t do anything but now he vanished with a shotgun..”
“Shotgun? Julie don’t move. I will be right there and I’ll call the police. Don’t do anything. Do you hear me? Stay there or J.D will kill me.”
“But what if gets hurt?”
“Julie…”
Then I saw the haunted house and I couldn’t listen to what Johnny was saying. I bit my lower lip. If I am that unlucky there is one place I saw Steven looking at all the time. The haunted house. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try, right?
“Sorry Johnny. I have to go now.”
“Julie. Don’t you dare…”
I hanged up and gave the phone back to the owner. I ran and bought a ticket for the haunted house. Once I was in everyone was heading it’s own way. It was dark and it smelled like something died. Wow, they had to make it be this scary…Suddenly my leg was stuck in the wooden bridge. I managed to get it out but then I heard a whisper around me. I couldn’t see a thing. I started running and screaming. A laugh followed me everywhere I go. Why? Why was I so stupid to come here? Once the laugh was gone I looked around. There was a red light from somewhere it there was water dripping. After I came closer to the dripping sound I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t water. It was blood. I hope it’s not real though. I turned around and saw an ugly bloody corpse leaned on the wall. I tried to hold my guts and not to throw up.
I kept walking forwards. In other cases I would try to breathe in and out but the smell was horrible. I walked in empty space and candles were burning everywhere. There was a big black coffin ahead of me. There was a red carpet around it and black pieces of rose. I wanted to turn back and run when I heard something coming from the coffin. I gulped and went back. I made my way towards the coffin. I know something is going to come and pop right out. I unlocked it and opened the coffin closing my eyes in the same moment expecting something to scare me. I opened my eyes and looked down at the coffin.
“J.D?” I yelled and pulled him right up. He was tied up and his mouth was tapped. I helped him get it off and tried to untie him.
“Julie..” He started breathing heavily. He wasn’t himself. J.D looked drugged to me or he was too long without air.
“Who is so sick to do this to you?”
I asked and cupped his face with my hands. I can’t cry. I have to be strong. I smiled at him and kissed his forehead. J.D was still breathing hard. He leaned back on the coffin.
“Thank you for coming.”
I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and saw Shelly behind me. She looked like the devil him self. She was wearing black clothes and a black eye liner. What is this pretty little liars? A movie scene? My heart started beating fast. How sick is she? She should be sent to an asylum.
“You are a sick person.” I yelled at her.
“Oh don’t play all innocent with us. You are pathetic and just as sick as us.”
I looked around. “ Us?” She mentioned us. Is Steven involved in this? That traitor.
“How could you and Steven do this. This is not human. It’s sociopath.”
“Oh Steven is not into this. Well…He was until fifteen minutes ago. We sent him on another place. He decided to go against us in the last minute. You took another person away from me. Now you should be punished.”
“What are you talking about?” I looked surprised at her.
“Oh don’t play dumb. First you take my dad away. Then J.D and now you ruined Steven. I hate you.” She screamed the last words and I could tell she meant them.
“I have no idea what you are talking about. I don’t know who your dad is.”
“Remember the spider web case your parents worked on? Well they released their client and put my dad in jail. They set him up.”
“They would never do that.”
“They protect criminals.” She yelled.
“That man was innocent. They defend the ones that are innocent and need help to prove that. If your father was a corrupt man then he…”
“Quiet.” Suddenly she pulled out a gun. I took a step back.
“After that I was forced to live with my cousin. Which was not so bad seeing she also knew you.”
I blinked twice. She knew me?
“Oh yes.” Shelly smirked. “ I told her all about the slut that stole J.D. I told her how you embarrassed me in front of everyone. And guess what I found out. She dated a guy names Craw. And Craw was in jail. She told me that Steven wanted to take his place and we all made a plan to ruin you. Because it is your fault. You broke Steven’s heart you killed my life and you deserve the worst.”
“Julie.” J.D was waking up but I couldn’t let him get hurt.
“So who is your cousin?” I came a little forward.
“You will find out soon enough. She’ll be right here.”
“Are you going to kill me?”
She smirked.
I tried to calm my shaking hands. “What will happen to J,D?”
“He is going to be mine. I will make sure he forgets about you…” She smiled and pointed the gun at me.
“Easy there.” Another hand reached for the gun and came out of the dark. I narrowed my eyes to make sure I was seeing straight.
It couldn’t be. No….! I opened my mouth in surprise.
“Well isn’t this a pleasant surprise for you.”
She smiled at me like she didn’t had one last worry in the world.
“How is my sweet Jake doing?” Tess smiled again and winked at me.
I was speechless. Tell me that I’m dreaming. I want to wake up now. Some one wake me up now please! I closed my eyes wishing when I open them everything to be gone but it was still the same and Shelly and Tess were both starring at me like I was the one insane.
“How do we settle this?” Tess turned to Shelly.
“You take J.D from the back and I’ll deal with her. I’ll meet you in couple of minutes by the car.”
“Okay.” Tess smiled at her and came closer. I stood still watching her every move. Shelly’s gun was still pointed at me. Then Tess reached for J.D. I snapped her arm back and aimed my fist in her face. Suddenly I heard a loud gun shot and I felt a pain on my arm. Luckily the bullet didn’t hit me but it opened up my skin and I was bleeding a lot. I reached in pain and pressed my arm to stop bleeding.
“Stay where you are.” Shelly screamed while Tess pulled J.D up and tried to carry him. I couldn’t move or I was dead. And being dead It wasn’t going to do good to J.D
“Where would you like me to put this next bullet? Your head or your heart?” Shelly smiled.
Time to be bad ass. I have to provoke her.
“You think you deserve J.D?”
“He is already mine.”
“No he is not. He loves me.”
“No.” She screamed.
“Then fight for him. Cause I will gladly beat you again. Even with a bruised arm.” She looked at me.
“What do you have to lose? You are going to kill me anyways. But let’s see how much you deserve a fighter like him if you can’t be one?”
She observed me and then smiled.
“no. I am not falling for that.”
“coward.”
The smile vanished. She threw her gun away and took off the hoodie.
“Fine bitch. Let’s see how can you do this without a help.:” She swung her leg hitting me right in the arm where I was hurt. I was down on the ground and she hit my face. I tried to get my strength to get up but she hit my stomach. I was down on all fours. She hit me again but this time I caught her leg.
I managed to make her loose balance and she was on the ground too. I pushed the hair off my face and hit her in the face. She screamed and threw her self on top of me. She started hitting me again. I felt blood in my mouth and tried to block her hits. I scratched and kicked her but she was stronger. My arm was bleeding badly.
I turned my head away as I tried to push her away and that’s when I saw the gun. I tried to reach for it but it was no use. She saw me and she stretched to get it but I kicked her. With one last hit she knocked me down and took the gun.
“any last words bitch?” She smiled at me with blood in her teeth.
“Yeah. Goodbye.” I sighed and in the same moment she dropped unconscious next to me.
Steven put the shot gun down as he hit Shelly with it. He kneeled and helped me up.
“are you okay?” He pulled the hair of my face.
“She had J.D. Tess has J.D.” I pushed Shelly off me and I put my arms around Steven to get up.
“I have to save him.”
“But Tess…”
I took the gun from the ground and aimed at Steven.
“You betrayed me.”
My hands were shaking. “I know. And I am so sorry. That’s why I came here. To save you. They cut me off because I couldn’t do it. Because of you.”
I felt tears burn my eyes.
“Where can I find J.D?” I yelled.
“Go straight ahead. Turn left then go right and you’ll be out. I’ll take care of Shelly. Go.”
I hesitated leaving him but then I had to save J.D. I ran backwards and then turned following Steven’s instructions.
I saw light and ran faster. In that moment something hit me on the head and I stumbled falling on the ground. I turned around and saw Tess. She leaned and took the gun aiming at me. I glided further on my back.
“There is no happy ending for you.” She growled.
“go to hell.” I looked at her angry.
I heard sirens coming form the exit.
“The cops are after you. You are going in Jail. You and everyone of your accomplices”
I got up and starred at her.
“You will be there for long long years.”
“No.” She screamed.
“Yeah.” I nodded my head.
“I am not going to jail because of you.” She screamed and aimed her gun at me.
“Julie NO!” A loud gun shot pierced my ears. I expected pain but I felt nothing. It was before I realised that J.D jumped in front of me. I screamed and kneeled down to J.D.
Tess let go of the gun and ran away. Tears poured down my face. There was a big bloody stain on J.D’s shirt. I pressed my hand to his chest trying to stop the bleeding.
“J.D do you hear me?” I asked begging and preying in my self he was still alive.
He coughed up a lot of blood.
“J.D.” I cried his name over and over. My face was wet from the tears and as I wiped them I stained my face with his blood.
“You are bleeding.” He reached with his hand to cup my face.
“No. I’m fine. I’m okay. And you are going to be okay. Just hold on. There are going to be cops here soon and we are going to go to the hospital. Just hold on sweetie. Be strong for me.”
He tried to smirk.. “I love you baby.” He whispered.
“Oh god…” I cried louder. “I love you too. Please don’t die on me. God J.D why did you do that?”
“you said…you were…gonna do the same…:”
I bit my lips to try to hide my sobbing.
“you idiot….oh god I love you so much don’t give up.”
He closed his eyes.
“No. Open your eyes J.D.” I yelled.
He smirked with his eyes still closed.
“I think… I just paid off my debt.. to you. We….are even.”
With that he was unconscious.
“J.D.” I yelled.
“Wake up.” I cried louder.
“Wake up.”
“J.D.” I cried and tried to kiss him.
I sat on the hospital chair waiting for an answer. Few nurses managed to give me something to calm down and they stitched up and cleaned my wounds. I cried softly on the chair waiting for the operation to be over. J.D’s parents walked in running in the hall. I stood up crying and looked at Anna and Bryan. Anna was in tears as same as me. I ran to her hug and I just stayed like that. It seemed like forever.
“I heard over the phone…What happened?” She asked after I pulled away.
“J.D….He got shot…He was protecting me….” I kept on sobbing. :”It’s my fault. Its my fault.”
Anna hugged me again.
“Don’t cry. J.D will be fine. He is strong.” She kissed my head but I could hear her heart racing fast and her unsteady breathing. She was worried.
“Julie.” I heard my mother’s voice.
I pulled away from Anna’s hug and ran to my mother’s .
“Are you okay?” She was crying.
“I am okay mom. Really. I am fine. Calm down. It’s not good for the baby.” Dad walked in right after mom and he hugged me right away.
“Thank god.” He kissed my head over and over.
“J.D is being operated this instance. He jumped in front of a bullet for me.”
I cried.
Mom and dad walked over to Anna and Bryan. Soon enough we were all waiting for an answer and praying to god J.D is going to be fine.
(J.D’s p.o.v)
I tried to figure out where was I but there was nothing more then just an empty blank page in front of me. I couldn’t move but I was aware that something was happening. I tried remembering who I am and what I should do but it was no use.
I eased my self to go back and there was a face appearing in front of me. My vision snapped. I knew her. She meant a lot to me. I started getting flashbacks.
“Why do you keep on apologizing? ”
“Oh…I’m Sorry… Oh…I mean..” She was so adorable. I decided to end her misery.
“Thank you, by the way. For saving my life.”
“You’re welcome.”
“I just don’t get it why you did it.”
“How do you mean why I did it. You almost died. It was five against one.”.
“You don’t know anything about me. And I am a bad guy. Do you really think I deserve to be saved?”
“My father says no matter how much guilty you may seem there is always a side nobody knows about you and because of that everybody deserves a second chance.”
“Is your father a priest?” I asked confused.
“No, he’s a lawyer. He defends criminals so I kind of get the whole bad boy thing.”
“Oh sweetheart, I’m not a boy.” I smirked.
“Maybe you just wanted to see how a knight in shining armor would feel like.” I teased her. She giggled but she hated it.
“Maybe I was your hot guy in distress and you couldn’t resist.”
Her face expression was priceless.
“Maybe you got a little bit too much hits on the head.” She smiled. Ohh but she wanted to heat me. I could see it. She looked hot angry.
“Oh but I am perfectly good now that you saved me. Baby doll.”
“I’m sorry, would you stop calling me nicknames. I do have a name you know.”
“But I don’t know.” I winked at her.
“It’s Julie.” And that name stayed in my brain like a prayer.
“I still prefer sweetheart or baby doll.”
“Do you have a death wish?” She glared angry/
“Easy there tiger. You are not going to kick a man while he’s down are you?”
“Of course not. But I might consider kicking you later.”
“You just broke my heart sweetheart.”
“Uh, I wish I broke something else. Like you jaw.”
“I bet you don’t want to do that. How will I kiss you later to thank you for saving me?”
“Are you always this irritating or is it because of the pain killers?”
“It’s your lucky day. I’m always like this. Even in your dreams.”
“Why should I dream of you?”
“Do you want to find out?”
“I am leaving. I had enough time wasted anyway.”
She rose up.
“Don’t leave sweetheart, you might regret it.”
She was going to say something but the nurse came in.
“Mister Colin. Your father is here.”
She looked at Julie.
“I’m sorry you should leave.”
“I’m on my way out. When are you letting him go?”
“In Monday.”
“Oh Man.” I sighed disappointed.
“I’ll be here Monday Morning to see him” She smiled and as she walked out she turned one last time.
“What is your name any way?”
“Just call me J.D. sweetheart.” I winked and she blushed walking out and closing the door.
I got to see more of that girl. Too bad I know she is not gonna come here on Monday.
She starred at me angry and then her looks relaxed and it looked like she was lost in my eyes. As much as I wanted her starring at me like that I had to make her stop the arguing thing and accept my deal.
“Sugar, are you alright?” I couldn’t believe I used sugar as a nickname but she was so sweet there was no other word that described her better than that. I am gonna make her talk.
“Admit that you love this thing. It’s going to be so much fun. Come one. Admit it, admit it, admit it, admit it, admit it…”
“Stop, my head is aching.” She yelled
“So we are done with the silent treatment?” I asked her
“I beg you to leave me alone. Please”.
“Not going to happen.”
“Why did I have to save you? Why god?” She looked up. “What were my sins? Did I ever murder somebody? No!”
She looked at me then up again.
“Well not yet. Did I ever lie? Well only when it was necessary! Did I steal? No!...”
“Sugar I know you are a saint and a little crazy since you are apparently talking to a ceiling, but we will make that crazy into sexy.”
Suddenly her hand was over my mouth.
“Shut up, shut up, and shut up. You are making me crazy. Fine, do whatever you want but just leave me for the rest of the day as my final days of freedom.”
I wanted to wait for her to take the hand off but it was so much funnier if I make her even madder. I pulled my tongue out and licked her.
“Why did you do that for?”
“I couldn’t talk and I like talking.” I got closer.
“And I like you quiet. You were so peaceful while you were sleeping.”
“So you liked watching me sleep.”
“You know what, I’m just gonna go now.”
“Alright.”
“But while I’m not around, you think about what it would be like if my tongue was actually in your mouth and not on your hand.”
“Ugh, can you get even grouser?”
“Well since you asked…”
“Bye.” She turned around and I watched her cute angry ass walking down the hall.
“Hold my hand?” She smiled and I looked at her as she was insane.
“It’s because I’m scared, remember?” She smiled again
“But I will hold your hand the whole time, no exception. Just so you don’t faint.” I added trying to play cool. I can’t believe she didn’t figure out I was scared. Of course I wasn’t going to tell her that. Damn it. Why did I agree to this. I looked down.
“Will you please hold my hand the whole time?” She asked making me smirk.
“I will.”
“Then let’s go and if you… I mean if I get scared just held me tighter okay?”
“Okay.”
I looked down again. Oh no. I am getting off this thing before I die or throw up and then die from embarrassment.
“There is nothing to be afraid of. This is fun. It’s just a rollercoaster.” I repeated as I heard her say it.
“Yes…It’s just a rollercoaster for kids.”
“Just a rollercoaster for kids.” I kept on repeating convincing myself.
“And I’m going to enjoy it.”
“And I’m going to enjoy it.” I smiled more relaxed
“It’s going to crazy and I’ll love it.” She added.
“It’s going to be crazy and I’ll love it.”
The rollercoaster started moving. I grabbed her hand instantly.
“Are you sure you want to do this. Because if you’re scared we can get off right now…” I looked at her scared. Say that you want off. Say it.
“I’m fine J.D. I’ll be alright.”
“I am going to regret this.” I know I will.
“What the hell man you already lost.” She yelled.
“Actually you only hit me twice.” I stood up and looked at her smiling
“What?”
“Yes, you missed. And you are dead now.”
“But I…” She lied on the ground fussing and cursing everything alive in this world. “You cheated.”
“No I didn’t. You just underestimated me and thought you hit me.”
“I am going to kill you after I can get up.”
“I’m waiting.” I smirked.
“yeah well it’ll take a while cause I don’t think I can move. My stomach hurts, badly.”
I kneeled next to me and took my helmet off. She did the same.
“I’m sorry.” I looked at her and then I put my hand on her stomach.
“I am sorrier than you. Ah it hurts.” She yelled
“Let me see.” I become worried. What if I hurt her badly. What was I thinking. God I am such a dick.
“No it’s fine.”
“Just stay still.”
I unbuckled the munitions belt and lifted her shirt.
“Hey what are you doing?”
“I need to see if there are any serious injuries.” I stopped when I reached her chest. I went over her bear skin. Her muscles went tight. She must be in pain.
“If there weren’t these bruises I would have thought that your muscles tighten because of my touch and not because of the pain.”
“Is it bad?” She asked.
“I can’t tell. But I think there are going to be bruises. Julie I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you…” I started but she interrupted me.
“ Hey it was just a game. Cut your self some slack. I probably bruised your back too.”
“But I can move and you can’t.”
“Well I can try.”
“Come on. I’ll take you back and you’ll get some pain killer there.” I raised her in my hands and carried her back. I am going to kill myself after this.
“Listen Julie…I know I said I need to protect you because everything is my fault and…I will, but if you don’t want me around your company just say the word and I’ll stay away. I know I bothered you a lot.”
“I don’t mind you. You are fun to be around. Sometimes you tease and you make me crazy but I can leave with that.”
She smiled and stared at me. After few seconds she took off her jacket and gave it to me.
I felt my fingers burn as I touched her. She stood like that and then she raised her self on her toes and kissed my cheek, Then she ran into the house, I stood like that confused. After I was repaired from the shook. I decided to send her a message I pulled out my phone and typed in.
“I have no idea what that kiss was for, but I liked it. Kiss back Sugar :*”
“Now clenched your fist like this.” I clenched her fist.
“And now you have to hit the target with getting your whole body strength in your arm.”
“How am I supposed to do that?”
I stood behind her leaning my body on her back. I took my hand and punched in the air. She stumbled a bit but I caught her.
“Guess I’m going way to fast. Let’s try this.” I put the gloves on her hands.
“Like I told you, punch the bag. Try it.”
She punched it but it barely moved. I laughed.
“You hit like a girl.”
“I am a girl.”
“Don’t just punch with your arm. Use your body.” I demonstrated it and waited for her.
“Now you do it.” She gave the bad a deadly look and hit it. But the bad hit her back and Julie was on the ground. Oh crap.
“Jesus Julie, are you alright.” I kneeled next to her.
“The bag hit me. It attacked me.”
“Well you hit it first. It just defended itself.”
“Shut up.”
“Are you planning to get up?”
“No. My pride, my ass and my head hurts so I’m laying here.”
“Oh well suit your self. I wanted to give you to drive the Aston Mark on your way home but since you don’t think you are capable of anything else but lying…”
“I’m up, I’m up.” She got up fast so I held her before she fell.
“Easy there sugar.” I took the gloves off and helped her to the car.
“Next time I’m sure you’ll revenge your pride and beat the shit out of that bag.”
“I want revenge now.”
“Next time. I’m taking you home now. I don’t want you having a concussion.”
“You were stupid enough to get into this. Be smart enough and get out.” She whispered.
“You’re one spoiled brat.” I kept on yelling at her. Anger was flowing in my veins. “I don’t care that you think you’re right. I am getting hell away from you. You obviously don’t care about anyone else but yourself.”
I pushed her on the wall and I kissed her. I took everything she owed me in that kiss. I kissed her like I should have kissed her a long time ago. But now everything was different. As much as I wanted her to keep on kissing me or push me back or do just anything she didn’t. It was a mistake. I should back away before I get hurt. I pulled away and starred into her eyes. It took me forever to convince my self to let her go. “I got what you owed me, now you can go fuck yourself.”
I walked out and I stopped. I wanted to turn back and face her once more but it would just make me look week. So I kept on walking. I don’t need her. Right? Right?
“Are you planning on sleeping?” I asked her
“I don’t know how. It’s the first time I sleep with a boy in my bed.”
“Come here” I turned her around and buried my face in her hair. She smelled so beautiful. Like the sea. Like a worm sunny day.
“If you even mention this to someone I will kill you.” She whispered. I had to chuckle.
“I swear that I will never do such thing.”
“Do you swear in your perfectly shaped ass?”
“Oh, so you have peeked.” I chuckled again closing my eyes and hugging her closer.
“I will always deny it.”
I laughed and kissed her neck. “Goodnight sugar.”
“Goodnight bad boy.”
We managed to pull Julie and Angie off the stage. Julie was sitting still while Angie was singing.
“My dream is to fly over the rainbow so high…”
“I think I better make some coffee for the both of them.” Chris and Kayla walked away.
“J.D did you like the song we sang?” She asked looking into my eyes . I wanted to kiss her so much.
“I did. But I will comment on that later. When you’re sober.”
“I'm safe, up high, nothing can touch me but why do I feel this party's over? No pain, Inside, You're like perfection. How do I feel this good sober?” Angie sang again once she heard my words.
“Angie would you shut up already.” Julie yelled but then she started laughing.
“I really showed her ha?”
I was confused. “What are you talking about?”
“That blonde whore. I warned her, but she called you an expensive toy and I hit her.”
“You hit Shelly for me?” I knew it. But why. Why would she do it?
“Yeah I did. And I will hit her again if I see her close to you.”
“Are you jealous?” I asked smirking.
“So much I want to rip her heart out.” She smiled and closed her eyes. In the same moment she fainted backwards but I managed to catch her.
“You arrogant bastard. I haven’t hated anyone else like you so much in my entire life. I can’t stand you. I am done with you. And you know what? You can kiss my ass and go fuck yourself.” I grabbed her hand and pushed her back to the wall. The hell with it if I let her walk on me.
But then I remembered how cruel I was to her the first time.
“Julie I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have…”
She pulled me to kiss her but I pulled away.
“I mean if you don’t want this…”She kissed me one more time but I had to stop her. “I’m a very patient guy…”
“Would you shut up and kiss me already.”
If this is not a girl that I should call mine then I don’t know which girl is?
She walked across the room holding Marco on her waist but he kept on crying. I sat on the couch covering his ears.
“J.D I don’t know what to do. I guess he misses his mom.”
I got off the bed nervously.
“Maybe we can look up something on the internet. Maybe he’s sick?”
“He just misses Daniela. We have to distract him.”
“How?”
“I don’t know.”
“I thought you loved babies.”
“I do but I don’t own one at home.”
“Haven’t you taken care of one before?”
“I’m an only child remember?”
“What are we going to do then?”
Marco cried even louder. And louder. And louder. That’s it. I can’t take it anymore. Damn kids. I went to Julie and grabbed him lifting him in the air.
“Would you please stop crying?” I begged him with low voice.
I glared at him as he was in silence. He had eyes just like mine.
“He stopped.” Julie said something but I wasn’t listening.
The next thing I knew I was humming and Marco was almost asleep. Once he was out I took him to the bed and put him back to sleep. I walked out of the room .
“I thought you hated babies?” Julie asked.
“I don’t know what happened one minute he was crying and I was nervous and the next one he was so cute and he looked at me and I just…” I was cut off by a kiss. Once she pulled back I was confused.
“What was that for?”
“You look hot with a baby.”
“Really? So babies are a turn on?”.
“No! But men, who know how to take care of one, are.” She smirked.
I kissed her one more time..
“How will I leave with these wet clothes?”
“I don’t know. It’s your fault anyway. I got spare clothes.”
“You are not just going to leave me like this.”
“Yes I am. I want to watch you do the walk of shame.” I smirked. I was so mad at her that I would make her die from embaresment.
“Well you’ll be disappointed because I’m not going anywhere like this.”
“If you can figure something out be my guest.”
She walked on behind a stall and she walked out smiling. She opened the door “Hey guys.” She looked back at me and then at the guy outside. “I got pushed into the shower and my clothes are all wet. Do you have anything spare I could put on?”
“Yeah, yeah.” One of them smiled immediately and pulled out some clothes from his bag.
“Here you go sweetheart.”
“Thanks. If you could give me just a second to change…” She smirked at me.
“See. I can take care of my self.”
“And how are you going to change?” She went back behind the stall and after she came out she was smirking again. God this woman is making me crazy.
“Let’s go.”
“Thanks for the clothes.” She smiled at the guys.
“No problem.” One of them smiled at her but carefully looked at me. “Here. You can keep this as an exchange.”
She gave him the bra. She gave him the fucking bra?
I pulled it out of his hands but he didn’t let go.
“Dude she gave it to me.” He roared at me
“Don’t let go and I’ll snap your neck.” I threatened him and he let go. Oh Julie is so dead.
“You could keep it.” She smirked at me knowing she is in control. I sighed and got into the car.
.
“Craw. You want me. Let her go.”
I tried to get closer but Craw took a step back.
“Oh no. I kind of like her right now. She’s got more balls then you. She is sneaky and I like it.”
“Give. Me. Back. My. Girl.” I growled.
Suddenly Julie hit Craw in his stomach and he let her go. She managed to get away so he started running.
Jake went after him
“Nice move.” I winked at her and pulled her up. “Let’s help Jake.”
We walked out to see three cop’s cars and Craw being arrested. Jake waved at us.
Okay. Who is confused?
“I am confused.” Julie turned to me.
“So am I.” I turned his head towards me.
“Hey handsome, you look like a fine peace of ass. Want to escape this place?”
I turned and grinned when I saw Julie.
“You know I only agree if there is a punch line coming.”
“Baby, we are like marshmallows and hot chocolate. You are hot and I want you on top of me.”
I started laughing like crazy. “I love it when you do that. Where do you find these things. They are so cheesy.”
“No they’re not.” She leaned closer.
“J.D. I think that is time for me to tell you something.”
“What?”
“About that catch…”
“Aha, go on…”
“You have to do it now.”
I groaned. “Okay what do you want me to do?”
“I want you to be my boyfriend.”
“I thought you’ll ask me to do something stupid. Will you explain why you want me as a boyfriend?”
“Will you say yes if I explain?”
I was confused. “I want to hear the reason first.”
“You know you already know.”
“I want to hear it.”
“J.D…Okay look…I didn’t really prepare a speech…Okay I did prepare a speech so here it goes. I didn’t intend to become friends with you. When I saved you that was…well the first time I have done something wild. My whole life turned upside down when I met you and I have never had so much fun as I did with you. I lived an adventure. You made me angry and mad and crazy. You made me use bad words and I never even said no to people so I don’t disappoint them but you thought me to have my own attitude…You brought out a beast in me I didn’t know I had and for the first time in my life I felt like I was Alive, more then boring…”
“You are not bo…”
She put a finger on my mouth.
“Let me finish, I want this to be romantic.” I pushed her hand aside.
“I was attracted to you since the first day and I…I never thought I would get the chance to be with someone like you. Some one so charming and intelligent and full of experience. Someone who appreciates living and has a really good taste in friends. Someone who protects…You are all a perfect person should have. No matter what choices you have made in the past they don’t matter to me because they are where they belong. In the past.
I was so afraid to tell you all of these things because I didn’t know what to expect. I had a tough time realizing what my feelings meant and how strong I care for you. I didn’t want to lose you. I hated every thought that included you leaving or being only a dream.
I gained confidence and strength with you. I also found a lot of new friends because of that and I owe it all to you.
No matter the fights and the arguments that we have I am still so attached to you.
J.D I know this sounds cheesy but I need you. And please tell me that you feel the same for me because I will die this instant if you don’t.
J.D I love you. I love you from all my heart.”
I didn’t took my look off her.
“Say that again…” I whispered and put a hand on her cheek.
She frowned. “You want me to repeat all of that…It’s a really long speech.” Oh she was so unique.
“I meant the last words. Tell me that you love me again.”
She blushed
“I love you J.D. will you be my boyfriend?”
“Yes I will.” I nodded my head and pulled her in my lap kissing her passionately.
“I can’t. It’s too cold.”
I handed her my hand and she slowly got into the pool. As we swam a little I pressed her to the cold wall.
“Your lips are some shade of purple.”
“It’s because I’m cold.” She smiled but she was shaking. Slowly I put my hand on her thigh. She jumped a little.
“Just relax.” I touched the other leg and her legs were wrapped around my waist and her body was pressed to mine. She leaned her head to my shoulder. I lifted her head and kissed her shoulder. She brushed my lips with her thumb and she smiled. I came closer to kiss her but I just licker the top of her lips. God how she was beautiful. I could just hold her next to me for eternity. I wanted to. But she need to get out before we did something rushed. I looked up and saw my parent’s window open. They were home. “We should get out.”
I pulled her out and wrapped a blanket around us. We stayed like that in peace but she need to change before she got a cold.”.
“Let’s change. I don’t want you to catch a cold because of me.”
“The fun it’s just begging Julie.” I winked making her look away.
“It’s okay. I know you wanna watch.”
She looked at me half looking and half covering her face. Once her face was on my buddy she opened her mouth in surprise.
“J.D?” She looked at me worried.
“I am not an expert but are they all that big. I’m not sure it’s gonna fit.” I chuckled and climbed on the bed kissing the top of her head.
“So naïve and so sweet. I’m sure you didn’t mean it like that but this was a compliment.”
With that I kissed her one more time and we made love.
I climbed on the ring and looked at Julie.
“Hear me out now. You see that when she hits with her right hand she misses but when she swings with her left she always get you. Avoid her left punches.”
“what are you doing?” She asked confused.
“helping you out. You are doing this for me so you have to win okay. You are not going to let her have me are you?”
“hell no.” She yelled
“Then take my advice. Avoid her left punches and aim for the left side of the stomach. She’s always vulnerable there when you hit her.”
The bell for round three rang.
“good luck Julie. I love you babe.”
I pushed me into the centre and watched. .
“attack sweetie.” I yelled.
Julie fought like a pro. I cheered for her. Julie was amazing. She managed to knock Shelly out.
“Ten...nine...eight....seven....six...” She tried but she couldn’t get up. “four....three...two...one...Down. We have a winner people. JULIE.”Mark put her fist up in the air. I jumped into the ring happy and kissed her like never before.
“i think i tasted blood.” I laughed after she pulled away.
“well now you are an official vampire.”
“vampire or not you love me because you are crazy enough to fight in an arena for me.”
“baby i would kill Hercules for you.”
“that i don’t doubt.”I kissed her again, this time I cupped her face and it was a gentle kiss.
“J.D.” She cried my name over and over. I opened my eeys and look at her.
“You are bleeding.” I reached to cup her face.
“No. I’m fine. I’m okay. And you are going to be okay. Just hold on. There are going to be cops here soon and we are going to go to the hospital. Just hold on sweetie. Be strong for me.”
“I love you baby.” I whispered. God the pain was getting stronger and stronger. I can’t take it anymore.
“Oh god…” She cried. “I love you too. Please don’t die on me. God J.D why did you do that?”
“you said…you were…gonna do the same…:”
“you idiot….oh god I love you so much don’t give up. No. Open your eyes J.D.”
I managed to say few last words.
“I think… I just paid off my debt.. to you. We….are even.”
I was back to blank. I could hear my heart beat. Am I alive or dead?
(Julie’s p.o.v)
The doctor came out of the operation room. We all ran to him.
“Are you all family members?” The doctor asked.
“Yes.” Anna answered. “I’m a doctor so please tell me the exact information you have.”
I held Anna’s hand. The doctor was deadly serious.
“Well..He was in a critical condition when they brought him here. They already lost him once in the van. We lost him one more time on the table but he fought and we managed to get the bullet out without damage to the internal organs but…”
“But?” I asked feeling the tears dripping from my eyes.
“But we had to induce a coma. So the next 24 hours are critical.”
I burst crying and sat back on one of the chairs. Anna got more information from the doctor and then she kneeled next to me.
“Just hold on Julie. There is still hope.”
But I couldn’t help it. It was my fault. My fucking fault. How will I live with the guilt if he never wakes up again.
I leaned my head on the cold wall and left my tears fall.
Mom walked me up once we were able to see J.D. I sat next to his bed and watched him. He looked so peacefully. The tears came back. I cried and cried over and over again. The nurse called me saying our friends were here. I had to tell the story over to everyone. I managed to cry again. Everyone was devastated. We all sat in his room for a while but the nurse came after visiting hours and threw everyone out. We all agreed to see each other the next morning. I sat in the main hallway. I can’t just leave him here. I begged them to let me stay but they didn’t. Mom and Dad promised me to take me the next morning. Johnny pulled me aside telling that he will bring me home. Or I will stay at Angie’s. Mom agreed and left me.
“Let’s go.” I said sadly.
“No.no. We are staying here.” Johnny looked at me.
“But the nurse…”
“Oh who fucks them. Come on now. I got a plan. The others agreed to this.”
“What?” I stopped confused.
“J.D would never left you one night alone so we’ll make sure you don’t leave him.”
My eyes were filled with tears. I smiled. “how are we going to do that?”
“The best way we know.” He smiled.
Once the elevators were out Johnny pulled me from the back door. He found the employees only and he opened one of the locked lockers.
“what if we get caught?”
“We will kick them and run.”
“good idea.” I smiled and took the nurse clothes he offered me. After we were dressed like that we made our way to J.D’s room. Few nurses passed us but they didn’t paid much attention.
“I like this doctor suit. Maybe I should be a doctor.”
I smiled. “I think J. D will love that.” I smiled.
“He will love that nurse costume you’re wearing.”
If he wakes up. My mind went there.
“Hey. He is going to wake up. He will be fine. You know him. He just wants to show off a little and be the centre of attention.”
Those words made me feel better
We got to his room and entered quietly. Everything was just the same. I sat next to the bed and Johnny stood next to me. He put an arm to y shoulder comforting me.
He is gonna wake up. He is.
“Hey what are you doing?”
I opened my eyes and saw an angry nurse yelling. I looked around the room and saw Johnny brushing his eyes. Great, We were both asleep and caught.
“You should get out now.”
“We just wanted…” Johnny started.
“Quickly before I call security, And how did you got those outfits..”
“please miss.” I started but she kept on yelling.
A noise on the monitor made me turn.
J.D moved his arm. I squeaked in relief and kneeled next to the bed kissing his arm.
“Baby…J.D do you hear me? Wake up sweetie. Wake up.”
“It was just a normal move.” The nurse still angry warned me.
“No. He is going to wake up. Wake up baby.” I kissed his hand one more time.
“Let’s go kids. I will have to call your parents.” Johnny pulled me.
“Let’s go Julie.”
“No.” I pushed him.
“I will stay here.”
“I will call security.” She yelled at me. I wanted to turn around and hit her. And god knows I was going to do that if I didn’t felt squeeze on my hand as I was holding J.D.
I looked at his face with joy. He started opening his eyes. My eyes were filled with tears. I smiled and waited for him to turned to look at me.
He was serious. “Where am I?” He said.
“at the hospital.” I said smiling.
“Who are you people?” He said looking at me.
“Oh god.” I squeaked and burst in tears as I figured he doesn’t know who I am.
“Julie baby. I was just joking. Don’t cry.”
I lifted my head and looked at him. I wanted to be mad but all I could do was swallow the sobbing and laugh.
“See. What did I tell you. Attention whore.”
Johnny smiled and I could see water in his eyes. I turned to J.D and speechless I kept on kissing his hand.
“I will go and get the doctor.” The nurse went out leaving us alone.
“Oh hello?” J.D smiled at me. “we should get one of this costumes for home. Being a nurse suits you.” J.D winked at me.
I wiped my tears off and got up just to bend and kiss his lips gently.
“everything hurts.” He complained.
“Yeah but you’re alive.” I sighed in relief.”
“don’t scare us like that man.” Johnny tapped his leg.
They gave each other a look.
“I will call the others.” Johnny got out too happy.
“so what happened?” J.D asked.
“Tess is arrested.” I smiled. “The cops got her. She didn’t get too far. Steven and Shelly are also in jail. But Steven is going to serve less. He made an agreement to serve his punishment and not to go out in bail. He did help us.”
“that son of a bitch.” J.D smiled but because serious when he was in pain.
“I love you. Don’t do this ever again.” I looked at him serious.
“I love you too. I don’t want any kind of incidents in the near future, But If I have to do it again I will.” He said honestly.
“If you do it again and die. I will bring you back and kill you myself.”
“I don’t doubt that.” I leaned to kiss him again.
“Finally I’m out of debt.” He smiled after I pulled away.
“Dream on. I got in into a haunted house and fought two persons while you were the damsel in distress. The I broke into a hospital and I am wearing a nurse costume. This is not a tie.”
He whined. “Will you ever let me win?” He asked.
“Only if you say pretty please.” I smiled.
“Pretty please with Sugar on top.”
I chuckled and kissed his forehead.
Well this is going to be interesting to explain to the parents.
