Well, here's chapter 2. Again, I only own Laura. Please Read and Review, it would be much appreciated! Hope you enjoy!
*THE NEXT MORNIG*
Then next morning they woke to hear someone cough. Laura noticed that she was still in Randy's arms from the night before and to anyone who didn't know the difference it would have been a compromising situation. When she looked up she saw her daddy and Dave.
"Daddy...what are you doing here?"
"I though I could trust you...and him...now look your in bed together"
"It's not like that...I had another dream last night...and Randy comforted me to get back to sleep..."
As soon as he heard this his face softened. "Oh honey are you ok?" he said sitting down on the bed.
"Yeah I 'm fine now" she said
"So nothing happened right?"
"Not a thing...trust me"
"It's not you I don't trust…it's him….Ok...were going down to breakfast you wanna join us?"
"Umm...yeah...you coming Randy?"
"Yeah...I guess"
"OK...we'll meet you down there" said Dave
"Yeah" both Laura and Randy said as the two walked out.
"Whoa... I thought your dad was going to kill me"
"Yeah me too...good thing he got laid last night...cuz he's in a good mood...it could have been bad if not...thanks for being there when I had my dream"
"No problem...do you mind me asking what it was about?" he said completely serious
"Well...it's about my ex-boyfriend...we dated for quite a while then something happened that set him off and he tried to kill me, I tried to fight him but he was too big..like the size of my dad...he beat me really bad one night threatening to kill me, it was the time right after John was visiting me and basically checking up on me, he found out that John came to visit me...he got really jealous and b-beat me. He put me in the hospital for two weeks and I had to have surgery on my knee. "
"what a prick...he's in jail right?"
"Yeah...he is...remember that time my dad took about three weeks off?"
"Yeah...is that when it happened?"
"Yeah it was"
"Wow...that's really bad...I'm so sorry"
"It's all good now, just that every once and a while I have really bad dreams about it"
"Damn...no wonder" he said as he pulled her to him for a hug.
"Yeah...I'm tough though"
"Yeah you are...maybe we should get ready to get some breakfast"
So they both got ready and walked down. They were goofing off as usual now. It was all back to normal. Out of all the guys Laura had always remained in contact with John and Adam the most, but she could see that Randy was definitely a new friend.
When they arrived her dad, Sara, Dave and John were there getting ready to order.
"Laura...hey girl" said Sara
"Hey Sara...how are you?"
"Good...you ready to eat?"
"Yup"
"How about we have our usual breakfast huh Laura?" said her dad
"Yeah how about it"
"Ok...we'll have two of the steak and eggs, with a coffee and an orange juice."
"Ok...what will you guys have" the waitress asked the others.
They all decided on bacon, eggs and coffee.
"Laura how can you guys eat that first thing in the morning?" asked Dave
"Well first we take a fork and then a knife and then we cut it and then put it into our mouth and then we crew, then we swallow it" she said
"They always eat that, their true Texans through and through" said Sara
"And damn proud of it" said Mark. Everyone laughed.
"Laura, do you wanna go shopping later?" asked Sara
"umm...yeah sure, sounds good..."
"Yeah...we'll catch up on our girl talk" she said
"That could be scary" said Mark
"Hahaha very funny daddy" said Laura
They all ate and eventually parted ways.
*AT THE MALL*
"Laura...so is there anything going on with you and anyone?" asked Sara
"No, why and who….Randy? I've only been here…one night Sara!"
"I don't know it's just the way the two of you look together"
"Ahh...nothing to it...were just friends, plus dad would freak if there was anything going on"
"I wouldn't say that...your dad trusts you"
"I know...but not to worry there's' nothing going on between me and Randy...trust me, but he is sooooooo hot"
"Ok...well...he is kinda cute"
"just a LITTLE!"
"Yeah...but if there was anything going on you have to remember the age thing...it could get him into a lot of trouble, well, not technically, but it just wouldn't really look that great…he is 28 and you are 19"
"yeah I know...but we are just friends…and I do turn twenty soon"
"well...Randy is a great guy, but he LOVES women"
"yeah ...but anyways I think we better be heading back to the hotel, I have to get my stuff from Randy's room and that"
"Ok...lets go, we bought enough anyways, you dad is going to flip"
"Yeah...wait till he sees what I'm doing with my hair"
"I'm glad I won't be there...hey, take some pictures of the look on his face for me"
"No problem" she said as they loaded up the car. When they got back to the hotel Laura her purchases in her dad's room then went over to Randy's.
She knocked on the door and it was then opened by Dave. "Hey Laura, how are ya?'
"Great, I just have to get my stuff...where's Randy?"
"oh in the shower, he should be out in a minute...oh yeah, your dad nearly shit a brick this morning you know...we did find you two in a compromising situation and if we didn't know better we would have jumped to conclusions...there's no need to right?" said Dave said with a raised eye.
"No Dave, we're friends"
"I see...there he is now...dude there's a girl in the room"
"So...isn't that a good thing?"
"Not when she's 20 and Marks daughter!" said Laura as she started laughing.
"Oh..." he said as he walked out in his boxers. "So listen I was wondering if you wanted to come drive with John and I, John and I talked about it and then we asked Adam and he was all for it" he said rambling on
"well..."
"Come on...it'd be fun" said Randy, "we're all going up to Canada and staying at Adams'
"yeah but won't it be weird having a little kid around?" she said
"no...plus your not a little kid really... " said Randy
"I see...well if you guys want me to come… and then there's the thing with my dad"
"No problem your dad already agreed to it, It's surprising that he trusts them" said Dave
" Are you serious?"
"Yeah...I guess it's because were so mature" said Randy as he tugged on his boxers and then turned red as he gave himself a wedgy. "a shit...that's not good" he said
Laura then pushed him and he landed on the bed. "yeah, real mature" she laughed.
"well...you wanna come" asked Randy
"Yeah but how are we all going to fit in a car with all of our stuff?"
"Easy" he said "we have Adams big suburban"
"Oh..right on, well what time are you headed out cuz it's pretty long drive"
"I was thinking in about fifteen minutes"
"Ok..well I'll go talk to dad then" she said as she walked out, "see you in fifteen"
"see ya"
Laura got to the door and as she knocked her dad opened it. "Daddy...were you expecting me?"
"Yeah...so I hear your going with those kids huh?"
"Yeah, if it's ok with you of course"
"Well at first it wasn't but then they, and Dave, convinced me and I know that I can trust you "
"Thank you daddy"
"You here to get the rest of your stuff?"
"yep" she said as she gathered her stuff. She then gave her dad a hug and said goodbye to Sara and told them that she would see them in Toronto in a couple of days.
*Back in Randy's Room*
"So... ...do you like Laura?"
"yeah….she's awesome" said Randy as he finished packing.
"No...I mean as more than a friend"
"Nah..I just, kinda, sort of met her….well, not really but this is really the first time we hung out" he said as he turned away.
"Well if you do want her…just remember Mark is her father and Glen and I will be right behind him" said Dave
"I know, I know" he said as they heard the knock at the door and Dave went to get it.
"Hey Lau, you ready to hit the road?" said Dave
"Yeah, sure, are you guys sure you want me to come?" she said looking at Randy.
"More then sure" said someone who walked up behind her. She turned around to see Adam and John.
"Laura...glad you're coming with" said John
"Thanks...so are we leaving or staying here the rest of the day?" she asked
"Yeah, come on we'll take the stuff out for the old fellows" said Randy
"Ok" she said as they picked up most of the bags that were in the room and walked out the door.
"Why are they in such a rush to get out of here?" asked Adam
"I donno...I think there may be something going on between them" said John with a smirk, "Doesn't take Randy long"
"Nah...there just friends man, you know that" said Dave as he to walked out the door.
"Yeah I think you're right, we better get out there before those two find a way to mess up the car" said Adam
*Mean while in the car*
"Laura where you wanna sit?" asked Randy
"Um...well I'll sit back here " she said
"Ok..." he said as they loaded up the bags into the car. As a joke Randy started to tickle her and then she jumped into the back to get away. He just followed and pinned her down as he tickled her. When she finally gave up Randy was still on her but then she pushed him off. "Laura, I was just thinking about how funny it'd be if we hid Adams car"
"Hmm, I like how you think, but they're right there" they were just coming out of the elevator on the other side of the lot.
"Dammit, I wanted to scare them" he said laying by her in the cramped space because of the bags.
"Well, you could always give them a picture" she said and this just caused him to start to tickle her once again. As John, and Adam walked towards the truck they could see that Laura and Randy were in the back. Adam also noticed that he was on top of her. "Ummm...John are you seeing what I'm seeing? he asked
"I don't know...but if we didn't know them I would think they were getting it on" said John
"Yeah, but we know that's not happening" said Adam
"Exactly" said John and Adam at the same time. They then reached the car.
"*cough* *cough*, I hate to interrupt but we gotta get going" said Adam
John was driving because Adam had hurt his shoulder the night before.
"So, John, I don't have to worry about waking up in traction right?" said Laura
"No...I'm a good driver Laura...
"Oh like the time you nearly put us off the road last summer?" said Randy.
"Hey...that was not my fault...it was the bees" he said as Laura started laughing.
"What happened with the bee? Asked Laura.
"Well...um nothing" said John.
"Actually yes...remember the bee landed on your crotch and you freaked"
"Well...you wouldn't get it for me"
"Dude...I was so not going near your crotch" he said as he put his earphones on his head.
Randy sat there thinking about what Laura had told him that morning. He felt bad for her and he also realized that he was starting to fall for her. Everything about her appealed to him, her looks, her personality, everything. He couldn't believe why anyone would want to hurt her as bad as Daniel had. He understood now why her dad was so strict. He looked back at her and found that she was fast asleep. He could hear the music that she was listening to. It was Enriques Hero. A few hours later Laura woke up to see that Randy was now driving and all of the others were asleep. Laura sat there and thought about what she had told Randy about what happened with Daniel. She just wished that she could tell him everything about that summer and how there was more to the reason that Daniel beat her up other than John visiting. She would always remember that summer that John visited her. It was one that changed her and John's relationship for a long time.
*FLASHBACK*
"John!, what are you doing here" said Laura
"Well, you're my best friend and well I have some time off so I thought that I would come to see you since your dad and Sara is on the road, you know to keep you company"
"Awsome, So how long are you hear for?"
"About three days"
"Cool, so you can stay here if you want"
"Yeah I was hoping for that"
That day and the next they spent a lot of time together and really got to know more about each other than they already knew. The night before John had to leave they watched a DVD in her room, it was Titanic. Laura was curled up in his arms and when the big love scene came on Laura became uncomfortable and John knew it. "Laura, we can move through this if you want to"
"nah it's ok" she said as she looked up at him. She snuggled back into his arms. John was not used to having her that close to him and for some reason liked it, even though he knew that it was wrong for him to like her in anyway but friendship. When the movie was over Laura was crying as usual. That was when John looked at her and it just came over him and he kissed her. At first they both pulled away but then they kissed again this time more passionately as John laid her down on the bed. All of their since of reason was gone as they kissed. Nothing else mattered to them. That was when Daniel, Laura's boyfriend walked in. He saw them kissing and then took off. The next day they woke up in bed, nothing else happened but making out but they both still felt awkward around each other. Later that day John left to go back to work. After he left that was when Daniel attacked her. Later that day her dad came home to find her badly beaten and the rest is history.
*END FLASH BACK*
*I can never tell anyone what really happened* she though to her self. After the incident that summer both Laura and John were really embarrassed around each other. It took a long time for things to return to normal. But now everything's normal and no one knows what happened.
