Part seven

-What? You are kiddin, right? Fran screamed! -NO! I am not givin her back her job, again!God knows what she´ll do next time! Fran left John Paul in the bar and served two beers to an older gentleman, who took ´em to a table where an other man sat. John Paul realised that Hollyoakes had changed, he did not know any of them men at the table. -Fran! She did it for me, al right! I am pretty sure you were not innocent in this! John Paul then said! -That is different. I did not hit anybody! -Why did she hit you? Mean, sure Mercy has a hell of a temper, but she is not like Jaqui and she dose not to anything unnecessarily. So you really needed to have pushed a button! Fran looked up at him. -It dosen´t matter! She said. -´course it does! It was about me and Craig, right! John Paul really hit a nerv and Fran got so mad, she slamed her hand in the bar. -I can´t believe we still do this you know. You left, yeet she defends you! After all he sacrificed for ya! John Paul got quiet and Fran realiesed somethin was wrong. -What? A Mcqueen in silence? She said and John Paul looked up at her. -You haven´t talked to him, have you? He said and Fran snorted at him. -Sorry? John Paul got up and looked her straight in the eye. -He let me down... and he knows it. I suggested you talk to him first! John Paul said. -If Mercy is wrong and I am the one to blame, she will not set het foot hear again! But trust me, Craig can´t charm himself out off this one! John Paul then turned away from Fran, feelin hurted all over again.

Outside the Pond he meet Mercedes. -Well? She said. -You will have your job back soon enought! He said and was just about to leave. -Thanx … again... it is like you are a complete new person... if we look beyond the little extortion attempt before, wich is completly you! -Trust me... I am still the same! She replied. -Yes... that is what I fear. John Paul said before leaving her. He thought about goin home, however he did promise Spike to meet up. There was nothin goin on and he rather have a pint at the Jolly than at the pond or at home with a very angry Jaqui. He yeet again feelt a headake comin. He started to walk up the street, not knowin what to do...again.

Spike knocked on Annas closed door and got no answear. -I can stand hear all night! Spike said. -Fine! Com in! Spike opened and Anna took her headphones of. -Whats up with you? He wondered and she needed to think about that for a while. -John Paul was hear, well... he had to leave again, but as I understood it, you have been on you best behavoir! -yeah? Spike nodded. -thats all he said? -was there anything eles? Anna shooke her head. -So why are you angry then? Spike asked. -well... I am a teenager and a girl.. you won´t understand! Spike smiled. -Right! I won´t … so, it´s nothin I should know? Anna shook her head, releaved. -There is somethin I´d like to know thou! Anna said. -What? -Is it cause of John Paul that we are hear? Spike started to laugh. -No. He said. -You´re lyin! She said. -What the hell would be the reason for us to come to a little hellhole like this? -How bout the fact that they only have one school, wich means that they probaly won´t expell you as easy as the schools in bigger towns did! Anna showed with her face that she did not believe that for a second. -Why is it so hard for you to just admit it? Mean it is nothin wrong with it, I had nearly given up on you, thought you´d turned into some sort of robot or somethin! It makes me happy that you feel somethin! Spike said nothing. He sat down on her bed. -I do feel! He finally said and she shooke her head. -Not like before. Everythin is so different! -Of course it is! Spike screamed! -Of course it is! What did you expect? Anna did somethin she had not sone in a very long time. She started to cry. -I don´t know! Don´t scream... she pleaded and he finally colapsed. After such a long time, he finally cracked. Anna got up from her bed and Spike laid down. He turned away from her, and she knew he didn´t wanna show her that he now was cryin. -Whats goin on? Ricks voice came from downstairs. -Um, nothin. Anna said, she closed the door to her room. -Where is Spike?Rick called. -Um,we´re in my room... we need to talk for a bit! Anna said and thought about what to do. Then she saw the solution. Right outside the window the solution sat down on a bench, lookin tierd and confused. Anna went down the stairs, and out through the backdoor...
