Chapter 1 – Get up!
Reese Residence,
Palmdale, Ca
"JOHN! Come on, you got 30 minutes before practice starts lets get a move on." A male voice was heard from downstairs. John slowly opened his eyes, taken a glance at his alarm clock. The bright green numbers flashed 10:30am, Saturday. Practice, what practice? What was he talking about? John thought for a moment, thinking His uncle wanted to take him to a shooting range or something.
"Jonathan Reese, if you're not down here in 10 minutes your mother is making your breakfast." A small smile formed on John's lips, his uncle was cooking, maybe he would wait till his mom made breakfast. The use of the last name didn't escape him completely but he just brushed it off.
"Ow, Sarah, that was the frying pan." A bang could be heard as the offending pan was dropped into the sink.
John could hear his mom talking to his uncle. "Kyle, get over it you big baby. I didn't hit you hard… Yet..." John shot straight up in bed. Kyle? His Dad, what the fuck?
"JOHN! NOW Lets go, grab your sister, she is coming with us." Sister, oh Cameron that's right, why are they telling me she is coming with us, she always goes with us. Not that he minded any…
About 8 minutes later he was showered and dressed in jeans and a faded t-shirt, walking past Cam's room he knocked. "Cam, lets go, breakfast is ready." He heard movement in the room getting closer to the door.
"John…" He heard Cam call his name as his foot touched the first step, when he turned around he saw Cameron, but it wasn't her. The Facial expression was different, it was full of life, the eyes weren't darting around looking for threats.
"Cam didn't stay here last night. Remember she had to leave early? Besides why would she stay in my room with me, when she could be in your room with you? I mean not like she isn't my best friend who is dating my brother, and would rather spend time with him then me." Visible annoyed the not Cameron put her arms over her chest.
John looked confused, what the hell is going on here? He looked over at his sister, some how she managed to wear the same type of jeans and a white t-shirt, matching his outfit almost exactly.
"Whatever Allison, Breakfast is ready. Nice outfit." Deciding to play along for now John headed down stairs and nearly passed out when he saw his mom in the kitchen making out with the unknown man that had called his name.
"What the Fuck?" John was too shocked to move, it couldn't be could it. Kyle Reese was there in his house, kissing his mom and making breakfast.
Allison just walked past him bumping him into the wall smiling.
"Get over it John, it's not like we haven't caught you making out with Cameron before." She sat down grabbing some waffles from the plate on the table.
"Watch your mouth too. You know your mother doesn't approve of that type of language." Kyle said moving to grab some more juice.
"John? John?" Sarah came over putting her hand on his forehead. "John are you feeling ok? You look like you seen a ghost." He grabbed his mom's hand and pushed it away.
"What's going on here?" He asked
Kyle moved over to where John was standing. "What do you mean son?"
John swallowed nothing in his month as it had become dry from shock. He looked up, staring right into his father's blue eyes.
"Judgment day, the war against Skynet, you being alive, Alison being here and not Cameron." He was confused he felt the room start to spin, he slid down the wall trying to get some air. His breath was coming in rasps.
Sarah kneeled down next to him, and gently put a hand on his shoulder. "Are you still having the nightmares? The Doctor told us this would happen." She sat down next to him and put her hand on his face making him look at her.
"John, you were in a car accident 2 months ago, it was really bad, a drunk driver ran a red light and side swiped the car you were in. You got hurt really bad trying to keep Cam safe. You had a very serious concussion and were in & out of consciousness for 2 weeks, talking about judgment day and the fight against the machines."
Tears were welling up in her eyes as she spoke. "We didn't know if you were going to make it. Cameron, Alison, your father and I stayed at your bed side 24/7. You would wake up screaming about robots trying to kill you, then would fall back to sleep." It was her turn to swallow as the memories started to flood back into her mind.
Kyle kneeled down in front of him and continued the story. "The Doctor said the brain damage would affect the portions of your brain that control your creative side, and some memories. Your dreams would be affected even after you were considered healed. You would also have a hard time remember your life if you had on of those dreams."
John wiped his eyes that had started to tier up. "I guess he didn't say how bad the dreams would be? Or when I would start to remember things again?"
Sarah looked to her husband. "You know I think John can miss baseball practice today, I think we should all go to the park or something just have a family day. What do you think?" She asked looking from John, to Kyle then to Alison who was sitting on her chair watching the exchange, she was visibly shaking about what had happened just now, she was worried about her brother.
"I'll call Cam and see if she wants to come with us, she'll cheer John up. If not she can just suck his face off like they were yesterday and all will be good." That comment got her a glare from both parents and her brother who was turning beat red at that thought.
"What? All I said was…" She stopped mid sentence with the glares coming from the parents again. "All I said was I will go and call her." With that she got up to make the call, giving John a gentle squeeze on the shoulder as she went to her room.
"Now, come on lets eat your breakfast before it gets cold, or else your mom will have to cook." Kyle's stood up and held his hand out to help John and Sarah up off the floor. John smiled a bit at that comment.
"It's funny, you know in my dreams, Mom could burn Jell-O. Uncle Derek was a better cook then her, even though his ideal of a good meal was hot dogs with everything on them. At the sound of Derek, Kyle looked to Sarah.
"John, Derek was deployed to Iraq 16 months ago with his unit. The Air Force isn't telling us where he is or when he is coming home. The curse of being black ops I guess."
John looked down at his hands for a second, then back up to his father. "Does he like Cameron? I mean do they get along with each other?" It was a simple question, John put his head into his hands trying to remember this life, but all he saw was death and chaos.
Sarah looked over to Kyle and nodded. "John, Derek and Cam have had there differences since she's been apart of this family, but they are ok with each other, jovial banter back and fourth."
Just then Alison came blowing into the kitchen. "Cameron says she will be over in 10 – 20 minutes, she was in the middle of a family dispute."
"Is she ok?" Sarah looked to Alison with a worry look on his face.
"Yeah she is fine, her step dad was being his normal prickish self again, he didn't want her to go out, and was yelling at her mom when I called. Saying something about skank whore with the word Bitch throw in there too... Her mom told her to go and have a good time, stay out as long as she would like."
Alison looked to John, and offered a small smile. "I think Mark is still pissed about you breaking his nose. But I believe Cameron will be bringing her over night bag with her, even though half her wardrobe is in John's closet."
John's face turned beat red at the mention of the clothes in his closet, he was pretty sure he didn't wear black lacy panties, but he had found a pair in his dresser when he was getting ready.
"Ok, that explains the clothes in my room, I take it the scars I saw on my bag and side of my head were from the accident?" John hadn't noticed them at first when he was showering that morning, but when he got out he had several long scars up by his should going under his arm, he also saw a couple scars on the side of he head behind the left ear lobe, and alone the neck at the base of the skull.
Kyle nodded in confirmation. "You were in surgery for 8 hours, they worked like mad to fix you, you coded twice on the table. We almost lost you that night."
John was trying to take it all in; still nothing was coming back to him. "What was this about me braking Cameron's father's nose?"
Alison stepped up for this one. "A couple weeks ago you went over to pick up Cam to go to a movie, Mark had been drinking heavily and started on how kids your age shouldn't be dating and going out alone together, he was trying to get all hands on with Cam, you saw this from the doorway and walked right in and clocked him with a right hook putting him down and out for the count. Broke his nose in two places, he looked like a raccoon when he came back from having it set. Cam told me later that night that when you saw Mark the next day you walked right up to him, press your palm to his nose and pushed and said that in no certain terms is he to touch Cameron again, if he did you would not stop with breaking his nose."
She stopped to grab a sip of juice from the table. "Cameron told me that she was watching you when you did that and she was slightly scared and happy that you did that. She said the look in your eyes was something she hoped she would never have to see. You have never had a problem with him after that, but he still gets mouthy when he drinks. That's way Cameron stays here to get away, she is here more then home. Mom doesn't mind, and neither does Carol. She knows Cam is safe and happy, and that you will never let anything happen to her. She said something about you being her protector."
John smiled at that one, his dreams she was always his protector. There trip down memory lane was interrupted by the front door opening up.
"Hello, Mom, Dad, anybody here?" John would recognize that voice from anywhere. It was Cameron's but it sounded different, more alive then anything, full of emotions.
"In the kitchen Cam, we're just trying to give John's memories a kick start." Sarah said poking her head out the door to the kitchen.
Cameron walked into the kitchen, gave Sarah and Kyle a quick hug and moved over to john and wrapped him in her arms. She placed a gentle kiss on his temple, keep him close to her.
"Alley, told me you had a bad one this morning, you ok?" She asked moving around and sitting on his lap keeping her arms around him.
He slowly nodded taking in the sight of his Cameron, She look like Allison, long dark hair, He noticed Cam had brown eyes, and Allison had bright blue eyes. But other then those differences they looked like they could have been twins, he wasn't sure but he thinks Allison might be shorter then Cam, he couldn't tell, least not yet.
"Yeah I'm fine just trying to remember what my life was prior to waking up." He managed to wrap his arms around her waist, reveling in his warmth, the way she smelled, and the way she felt. It was wonderful, she was so full of life, he wished he could remember his, well their life together.
John removed a hand from Cameron's waist to grab a waffle that was sitting on the plate. As he brought it around to take a bit, it was snatched out of his hands by Cameron, who shoved the whole thing into her mouth; she still managed to have a graceful smile on her lips while she chewed.
"Hey, I was going to eat that." John exclaimed, normally he would get really pissed at this but the giggle from his family who was watching form varies points in the kitchen just made him stop and shack his head.
"That's right you were going to eat that, but since you were slow in doing that I ate it instead." She smiled at his and gave him a quick nip on his nose.
"Sorry I didn't get a chance to eat anything before I left the house." He smile disappeared for only a moment.
"Is everything ok?" Sarah asked bring her own breakfast over and sitting down across from the kids.
Cameron just shrugged as she wiggled a bit to get a better position on John's lap. She heard a small moan/groan escape from his mouth; she smiled and gave another wiggle just to tease him so more.
"He was having a moment, I told him I was going to John's and not to stay up. He quieted down after I told him that."
"You can stay here as long as you like you know that." Cameron nodded as she went to grab another one of John's waffles. She offered a smile.
John leaned closer to whisper into her ear. "You are so going to get it…" She turned her head and just smiled.
"Bring it on; I can take what ever you can dish out." There was defiantly sparkle in her eyes when she said that. This challenge was one he was not going to ignore. Slowly very tenderly he reached his hand up under her shirt and started to gently move his figure tips over the soft skin of her back, he felt the goose bumps as her skin reacted to the feather light touch. His figure were barley touching the skin, he could feel her back muscle tense as the sensations were starting to drive her crazy.
Still touching her back, John leaned forward and starting to place feather light kisses on the soft skin at her neck below the ear, moving down and following the hair line to her neck and shoulder. John let a small smile play on his lips as he could feel her breath coming in small short gasps as he continued to paint circles on her back and kiss her neck and should.
Cameron's hand reached out and clamped onto his leg, as the feeling was starting to but her hormones in to over drive. She tilted her head back and to the side to give John better access to the sensitive skin there, her eyes closed, her month slightly open.
A small moan escaped her lips and she was getting ready for the next wave, when all of a sudden it just stopped, John removed his hand, fixed her shirt and hair and grabbed the waffle that was still in her hand.
"That's my waffle." With that he shoved it into his month.
"Well that was certainly entertaining, why don't you to go hose off or something." Alison said watching as Cameron just turned to John as she chomped on the waffle he liberated form her grasp.
"Reese, your days are truly numbered." She said grabbing the last waffle from the plate and popping it in her mouth, Cam loved coming over when Kyle or Dad as she liked to call him mad his mini waffles, they so good she could eat a dozen of them and almost did at one point.
Sarah just sat there shaking her head as Kyle tried to pretend to read the paper. All they could hear form him was some mumbling about kids today.
Breakfast was completed in record time with no other interruptions. John was leaning back against his chair, Cam still sitting on his lap in grossed in a conversation with Alison about fashion or who was doing who in class. He tuned it out, but was still listening to the in case his name came up. He watched his mom drink the rest of her coffee, as His Dad finished reading the paper, his hand intertwined with hers and his thumb was caressing her skin absently.
John was amazed that the dream he had about judgment day was so real, he was still feeling the effects ever time her heard a strange noise he had to stop himself from going for a non-existent gun, or he was always looking about the room looking for ways out or things to be used as weapons. He could get use to this life, apparently he was happy, he had a mother, father, sister, and a drop dead gorgeous girlfriend who stayed the night a lot of times with no worries form her parents.
"Hello, John are you in there?" Cam was waving her hand in front of his face. John blinked the thoughts he was having away.
"Yeah, sorry was lost in thought…" He offered a small smile as he tried to nip at her hand that was moving back and fourth in front of him. He wondered how far they had gone with there relationship, I mean the slept in the same bed together for awhile now. Just how far does that go?
"Well, now that everyone has eaten, let's all go and get our stuff together and get going." Sarah said standing up putting her dishes in the sink.
"Where are we going to go?" John asked, wrapping his arms back around Cameron's waist.
"I vote for the park, or the beach." Alison said as she put everyone else's plates in the sink.
John sat up slightly at the mention of the beach. He never really gone to the beach let the sand run threw his toes that he could remember.
"The beach gets my vote." John said, take a sip of his orange juice, he handed the glass to Cameron, indicating that she could have the rest.
"Beach gets mine too. I get to try my new swim suit." Cameron slowly extracted her self from John's grasp as she stood up and stretched. Today was going to be a fun day, if she had her way, tonight John and she would have a good time too.
"Well then beach it is. 10 minutes to get everything together, then we are gone." With that declaration everyone scrambled to get there stuff together. Allison, John, and Cameron made there way to the stairs, John grabbed Cam's bag that she had parked by stairs when she came in.
"Christ Cam, what the hell did you pack in this thing, the other half of your wardrobe?" John asked as he grunted up the stairs, the wheels wouldn't work so he had to hoist it up there by hand.
"I still have a few items back at my house; I really don't want to go back to my house though. Mark is getting very uncontrollable and my mom always takes his side no matter what. I'm hoping I brought enough stuff so I don't have to go back home for a while, unless it is to get the rest of my things for good."
They walked into John's room he dropped her back and turned around and wrapped his arms around her in a big hug, he knew her life wasn't the best with her family, her dad left her when she was 5, her mom tried her best but couldn't always afford luxury items. Then Mark had come into there life when Cameron was 9, and things were doing ok then Cam turned 13 and Mark started to leer at her and make unwanted comments. He also started to accidently walk in on her in the shower or her room while she was changing.
Cameron had said that he never touched her until that day John had seen him do it. He believed her, she wouldn't lie to him.
"Thank you." Cam said as she pulled away from his embrace. "We should start getting our stuff."
John just smiled at her, as he moved to her dresser to grab his swim shorts, he turned around to see Cam standing there naked as the day she was born, pulling her 2 piece suit out of her bag, John wasn't sure if he had seen it before but then again she did say it was new. He looked at her body up and down marveling at the smooth skin, perfection at it's finest.
He let out a soft whistle as he watched her pull the bottoms on, she turned slightly to face him as she did this to give him a better view of what was his. She stood up straight and adjusted the bottoms, checking her self in the mirror to make sure the fit right. She nodded satisfied they were good. She walked over to John and smiled.
"You only need to remember 1 thing about us John." She took his hands into her and brought them to her chest over her heart.
"I love you, and you love me. We are soul mates, and this." She held out her arms to show off her body. "Is no one else's but yours and yours alone." He smiled at the fact drinking in her beauty, he slowly slid his hands around her waist and brought there lips together, there tongues' met as the kiss deepened, john started to slid his hand up and down her back slowly, with slightly more pressure then he did when they were at the table.
A soft moan escaped from between Cam's lips as she slid her hands up under John's shirt to get to the skin there. John still couldn't believe it here he was in his room with Cam who was half naked making out with him, this had to be the dream, no way would someone as beautiful as her would be here with him. Even if this was the dream, he hoped he never woke up.
"John, I love you." He heard Cam say as the broke away from the kiss.
"I love you too Cam, and as much as I love to where this is leading, we have to get going or Mom is likely to send out search and rescue for us." Cam gave a small pout on his lips, as her head dropped down.
"Hey, we can continue were we left off tonight, Promise." He smiled at her as he went to get his swim shorts on, he just started stripping right there, not worrying that Cam was still half naked as she bent over to get the top part of her suit.
John put his suit and tied it up; he turned into the mirror looking at some of the scars on his back. He noticed one on his left thigh and looked at it. He traced his figure down it gentle feeling the texture.
Cam noticed John looking at the scar on his leg. "When the other car hit us, the impact sent a piece of the door into your leg; even pinned to the door like that you did everything you could to keep us from rolling over. You were fighting our car and the other car for control. When everything had stopped, you were unconscious, and not responding to me calling your name. I only had a small number of cuts and bruises. My knee got banged up, but nothing serious."
Cam came and wrapped her arms around John from behind. He could see her eyes watering up as the memories came flooding back into her.
"I guess that was when I knew that you would never leave me, what you did to protect me, risking your life for mine." She placed her chin on his shoulder.
John wrapped his arms around her and just stood there for a moment, he felt Cam start to move away to finish getting ready, he watched her for a second the scars on his body a distant memory.
"I like your suit." John said taking in Cam's new black bathing suit, there was just enough fabric to hid the essentials and leave room for the imagination.
"Thank you I got it with you in mind, it's very easy to get off." She smiled seductively at him before she threw on a tank top and a pair of shorts. Donning her sandals she grabbed a bag from the closet to put there things in as they were getting ready to leave.
"Got everything?" He asked as he pulled his shirt on. He made a quick check around his room to make sure they had packed what they needed.
"Yup, change of clothes, towels, sun screen, sun glasses and hats for both." He smiled and reached for her hand as they headed out the door to go.
"Allison was already headed down the stars with her own bag slung over her shoulder.
Sarah and Kyle were at the front door waiting for there kids. After checking to make sure all was locked up and secure, they headed out to the cars.
"Why don't you, Cam, and Allison take your truck, we will follow in our car, I know you kids hate being seen with parents in the car." Sarah said I she stopped to get in her car.
"Alright, just try to keep up old man." John said, looking at his father already in the driver seat. The comment was not unheard, by Kyle who just looked up and smiled. As he shut the door the distinct form of the middle figure was seen in the window.
John smirked at his dad as he started up his SUV. Guess this was something form the insurance claim from the accident, brand new 2009 black Toyota Rav4, 4x4, sunroof, GPS, satellite radio, and a kick ass stereo system.
John got in and started to engine, hitting the button on the dash his opened up the sun roof fully as well as the windows. Cam had already put on some rock station. He beeped the horn to signal his parents he was moving.
They beeped back and they were on there way.
