Chapter 3

John loved this, being on stage in front of his fans doing one of the two things he loved to do. They were loud tonight but then again he was in Boston. He knew his family was watching from somewhere in the building and he knew Joanne was around also so he'd look around every now and again to see if he could spot them.

He thought he'd spotted Jo in the disabled section 'why's she in the disabled section?' he thought to himself.

She was stood next to a girl in a wheelchair but John couldn't see the girls face as the lights were too bright. He shrugged it off, it probably wasn't Jo but the girl in the wheelchair was definitely loud.


Bex caught John looking in their direction and quickly moved behind Jeff. It was no wonder he looked in their direction with how loud Melody was being, it seemed she had taken on the challenge of being louder than all the girls in the crowd put together and was almost succeeding.

"I think I've gone deaf" Matt yelled to Jeff

"Me too bro" Jeff yelled back, smirking at Melody who was screaming as loud as she possibly could.

Becki quickly hobbled over to Mel "Do you have to be so loud?" she shouted in her ear.

"Yeah! Its funny seeing all these girls screaming at him! Boy would they hate you!" Mel replied before screaming again.

Becki winced and looked back to the stage where she caught John looking in their direction again. She turned her back to the stage and hopped back to Jeff.

"I'm gonna go over there" Bex said pointing to a dark corner further back.

"Okay" Jeff shouted back, he didn't think John would be able to see her but he understood why she wanted to move, he wanted to move, Mel was giving him a headache.

Bex watched from her new position, satisfied that John wouldn't be able to see her. Watching him Bex smiled, she was so proud of him and he looked so happy up there. She was still scared to face him and she began cursing herself for leaving in the first place. Or better yet, she cursed herself for kissing Randy back.

"You okay over here?" Matt asked as he joined her in the dark corner.

"Yeah"

"I thought I'd join you before my ears started to bleed! That girl is loud!" he chuckled

"She's embarrassing"

"That too" Matt laughed and turned to look at Mel, she'd started screaming yet again as John started to perform 'Right Now'

Bex rested against Matt and watched with a smirk on her face as she mouthed the words along with John and Marc. Matt covered his ears in anticipation as John rapped the line

'Right now I'm showing love to my brothers and my old man, to my girl lets get it on like da slow jam…'

Sure enough the girls in the crowd screamed louder than ever and Melody cracked up laughing, she turned and looked over to Bex and mouthed the words 'they'd so hate you!'

"You know he thinks about you every time he says that line" Matt added as Bex stuck her tongue out at Mel.

"Sure he does" Bex replied sarcastically, not believing him. Little did she know at that precise moment the only thing on Johns mind was her.


After the show John was in his dressing room with Marc, his family had just left telling him they'd see him back at the house when he was done. His Dad had a goofy grin on his face before he left which had John wondering what he was up to.

"What's up wit you?" Marc asked as John sighed

"Nothing! All's good man" John grinned at his cousin, everything wasn't fine, as usual every time he performed Right Now Bex would spring to the forefront of his mind and it would take him hours to shake it.

"You should jus call her bro" Marc grinned at Johns back, he knew Bex was in the building.

"You know the answer to that"

"Yeah, yeah she wont speak to you, I got it"

"Hey! Great show" Jo announced as she barged into the dressing room followed by Matt.

"Don't you knock" John said as he turned around to face Jo with a grin on his face "Hey man" he nodded to Matt who nodded back.

"You don't so why should I?" Jo replied

"She has a point" Marc grinned at Jo as he sat down on a bench.

"She's just trying to catch me naked" John teased

Jo scrunched up her nose "Ugh, I think I'm gonna be sick! That's something I so do not wanna see"

John was about to protest but was interrupted my a familiar voice.

"But I so would!" Mel announced as Jeff wheeled her in.

John had to do a double take, he couldn't believe what he was seeing "Mel?"

"The one and only!" she replied then squealed as John scooped her out of the wheelchair and spun her round whilst hugging her.

"Argh John put me down, I'm broken enough, see now why doesn't everyone else have that reaction when I enter a room?" Mel gasped as John placed her back in the chair and knelt in front of her.

"Because you've made everyone else deaf" Jeff replied as he stuck a finger in his ear, trying to stop it ringing.

"That was you screaming?" John asked, still not quite believing Mel was in front of him, if Mel was here that would mean…

"Yeah that was me! I'm louder than a bunch of teenagers" she replied proudly

"That's not something to be proud of" Jeff replied, still poking at his ears.

"Ah shush" Mel stuck her tongue out at Jeff.

"Why you here?" John asked expectantly

"I thought I'd come visit" Mel replied, knowing what John really wanted to know.

"So um…" he didn't know how to ask.

"Um what?" Mel asked with a smirk.

John didn't reply, he was speechless and stunned. There, leaning in the doorway behind Mel with a small nervous smile on her face, was Bex!


"Becki" he whispered as he stared at her, hoping he wasn't dreaming.

He took in her appearance, she was wearing black cropped trousers with his orange convict shirt which was tied up revealing her stomach and John found it hard to tear his eyes away. The only sign left of her injuries was the cast on her left ankle and the fact she was leaning on crutches.

"Well, move" Mel whispered.

John didn't think he could move, slowly he forced himself to stand as Bex looked on nervously. She didn't know what to do, his intense stare was forcing the air from her lungs.

She was caught off guard when John suddenly ran to her and wrapped his arms around her, lifting her off the ground as he buried his head in her shoulder. Letting her crutches fall from her arms and to the floor, Bex wrapped her arms around him and held him like he was gonna disappear at any second as a single tear fell down her cheek.

Everyone looked on smiling as John let Becki's feet touch the floor but he didn't let go of her or remove his head from her shoulder.

John didn't want to let her go, he was afraid that he was dreaming this. He kissed her neck and inhaled her scent as she held onto him tighter and he knew he wasn't dreaming.

Suddenly he found himself becoming angry. Angry at Bex for leaving him, for causing him pain, for kissing Randy.

Bex felt him tense then pull away from her. When she looked at him she could see the anger and hurt on his face and she didn't know what to say.

"We should go now Marc" John said, not taking his eyes off Becki.

"Huh?"

"We should go" John repeated as Bex looked at the floor sadly.

"What? Go where?" Jo asked, not believing what she was witnessing.

"Back home" John replied, still watching Bex intently even though she wasn't looking at him anymore.

Bex felt his eyes on her and looked up slowly, once their eyes met she could see the pain in them andhe added harshly.

"To be with the people that actually care about me"

With that he walked out of the room, leaving his stunned friends and a tearful Bex behind.
