Disclaimer: I don't own a thing but if I did I would have James Sutton and Guy Burnet chained in my basement…..erh I mean….
Author's Note: Ok so it's 3:30 in the morning and I can't sleep because I have this story idea stuck in my head. It's a cute little one shot between our favorite Hollyoaks couple. I stole a few lines from Buffy and one line from Skins because they work so well for these two! Can anyone guess which lines? Read and Review please! Enjoy!
If I Didn't Love You
I woke up alone. Again. John Paul stayed out all night. Again. I sighed as I got out of bed wondering how much longer I could take this. Not knowing where he is or who he's with. It started out as a one off and he used to call. "Might be out late, don't wait up. Love you." Then he'd just text. "Maybe see you in the morning." Now he does nothing.
I was sitting at the table when he walked in. He looked at me surprised, "Aren't you suppose to be in class?"
"Thought I'd wait for you."
"Oh." He walked past me and headed for our room.
"John Paul," he stopped and turned around, "what's going on?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
I looked at him with worry in my eyes, "You stayed out all night again."
He shrugged it off, "It was just a laugh. Stop making such a big deal."
"Where were you? Who were you with?" I asked.
John Paul rolled his eyes, "What are you? My mum?"
"No, I happen to be your boyfriend who is really worried about you. What do you want me do? Just sit back and keep my mouth shut?"
"Well that'd be a good start."
I was taken aback, "Well if I didn't love you so damn much I would!"
I ran out the door and faintly her John Paul sigh and call my name. I kept walking till I ended up at the pub. I didn't want to think about what John Paul has turned into. I know he was going through a lot but I couldn't help but think he wasn't the man I fell in love with all those years ago.
When I got back to the flat he wasn't there. I lay down in bed disappointed only to hear him come in a few minutes later. I turned on the light and sat up.
"Hey." He said with a small apologetic smile. He crawled into bed with me, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said before. I don't mean to worry you but I just…." He trailed off and I sighed.
"Look, I know what you're going through with Tina and Kieron and I'm here for you but you just won't let me help you. What kind of relationship is this if we can't talk to each other?"
"I know I know but I couldn't talk about it. All that stuff happened at home and we're far away from there. So talking about it makes it real. I didn't want it to be real." He looked down at his hands and his sad expression broke my heart and made me fall in love with him all over again. I put my fingers under his chin and made him look me in the eyes.
"Hey, I know that the pain you are feeling isn't going to ever fully go away but I'm here. I'm always gonna love you and I'm always gonna be here." I leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips. Our foreheads leaned against each other for support and when we looked at each other I knew we were going to be ok.
"I love you John Paul. You're my whole world."
