Hey peoples! How's it going? I'm strangely happy today. Which is weird cuz I totally didn't have sugar. 0.o HAHAHAHAHAH NOPE NOPE NOPE!!!! Here's chapter 7! WOOOOT!!!!
Johan slouched down in his chair and tried to hide the fact that he was upset. Not because almost every one of Jim's fans said they hated him but because Mike was staring at the two with a smug grin. Like he was happy this whole thing happened.
Mrs. Cook tried to reassure the bluenette with a gentle smile but each one she gave was overpowered by one of Mike's looks.
Finally, they were all able to leave.
"I told you this would happen," Mike said with the same buck-toothy grin. "You should listen to me more often."
Jim opened up his mouth to argue but his mother was quicker.
"Mike, why are you so obsessed about popularity?"
"Listen, I know you don't know a lot about this life but--"
"Oh, I know plenty. I know that this is Jim's life and he should be able to do things his way," she said with slight anger. "If he wants to spend his time with Johan, then that's fine. The fans will eventually get over it because they all know he's a great actor. They can't judge him by the people he hangs around."
"Mrs. Cook, if Jim doesn't have any popularity, he won't be in any more movies which means, he won't get paid. You'll lose all of the things you've worked hard for."
"No he won't," Johan said.
They all stared at him.
"You have no right to talk," Mike sneered. "You're the one who put Jim in this situation."
"Mike!" Jim snapped.
Johan let that sink in. He knew he was the reason he just never thought about how much it would be ruining Jim's career. "If he does lose everything, I'd try to help him. He could stay with me."
"Don't you own a mirror."
"Stop it, Mike or I'll have you fired," Jim said through clenched teeth.
"You wear the same outfit every day. You probably don't have enough money to take a shower everyday. How do you expect to take care of an extra person?"
Jim's nostrils flared.
"Let's go Jim."
Mrs. Cook followed Mike and scolded him all the way to the door.
"Johan, I'm so sorry," Jim said as he put an arm around Johan's shoulders.
Johan tried to smile but Jim saw through it. If any other person just so happened to walk up to him would think he was happy but Jim saw so many differences.
Johan didn't stand up as straight as he usually did, his skin was cold, the pink in his cheeks disappeared and most of all, his bright green eyes dulled.
"I'm fine," he finally said. "He's right. I shouldn't be--"
"No, he's wrong. People like you. It's just been a bad bunch, that's all. Nothing will happen."
Johan knew he was lying by the way his arm tensed and his smile was trying too hard to be a smile. But he didn't mention anything about it. "Can we go? I'm getting a little tired."
Jim nodded. He took his hand and led him out to the little and protected him from the bright flashes of the cameras and the weird comments from paparazzi.
When they finally got in the limo, they relaxed.
Mike still had that stupid look on his face. Except now, he was giving it to Johan only.
The bluenette felt so insecure, he felt like crying even though he knew it was a stupid thing to cry about. He pretended to look out the window so he could bite his tongue and try to keep the tears from trickling down.
Jim was a little concerned. When he looked over at Johan, he saw his body was trembling slightly. Like he was straining. "Jo-kun, are you ok?" he asked.
"Fine," Johan said in a hoarse voice. "Just fine."
Jim knew he wasn't fine. He glared at Mike who just smiled. "Are you sure?"
The bluenette nodded.
The Australian was about to ask another question but Johan's cell phone interrupted him.
But square-cut or pear-shaped, these rocks don't lose their shape. Diamonds are a girl's best friend!
"Hello?" Johan answered.
"Hey, Johan!" Judai's voice chirped.
"Hey, are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Are you still out?"
"Yeah, I'm on my way home."
"Ok, I just wanted to know. I'm home and I didn't see you here. I thought you'd be home before me."
"Oh, well I'm fine. Thanks."
"No problem. See you soon."
"Bye." He snapped the phone shut and slipped it back in his pocket.
"Is that seriously your ringtone?" Mike asked with a disgusted look.
Johan twitched with anger. It was time he stood up for himself. "If you don't like it," he snapped, "then you can kiss my Pegasus."
Jim covered his mouth and tried to hide the quivering of his mouth.
Mike rolled his eyes.
The rest of the ride was silent.
"Where are we going?" Jim asked.
"Home, where else?" Mike answered.
"Johan needs to get home too," Mrs. Cook said as she sat up straighter.
Mike shrugged.
Jim sighed. "Excuse me, sir?"
"Yes, si--Jim?"
"You remember Johan, don't you?"
"Of course."
"Do you remember where he lives?"
"Yes, does he need a ride home?"
"Yes, please."
"Certainly."
They somehow managed to turn it around and headed the other direction.
"You didn't have to do that," Johan mumbled.
"Yes we did," Mrs. Cook and Jim said simultaneously. Then they laughed.
Johan couldn't help but laugh too.
Finally, the limo arrived in front of Johan's house. But what made the bluenette crack up was Judai's goofy face in the window as he waved.
"That's your brother right?" Jim laughed. "Judai, is it?"
"Uh-huh."
"C'mon, I'll walk you."
The two got out of the limo without the chauffer's help and walked to Johan's porch.
"I'm sorry about everything," Jim said finally.
"What? But you didn't do anything."
"I still feel guilty."
"You shouldn't."
Jim stared down at his green eyes. And before he could stop himself, he kissed Johan on the cheek. "Sorry."
"Stop saying sorry," the European scolded. Then he got up on his toes and kissed him again but on the lips.
Jim smiled.
Johan looked in the window and found Judai staring with a big smile. "I should probably get inside before Judai has a seizure."
The Australian laughed. "Ok. I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?"
"I don't have to be the world famous Jim Cook everyday. How 'bout tomorrow, I'll just be Jim, Johan's…boyfriend?"
Johan smiled. "That sounds great."
"Cool. I'll see you tomorrow."
Johan nodded and walked in the house with a screaming Judai.
"YOU KISSED YOU KISSED YOU KISSED!!!!!!!"
"Yes, Ju-chan, we kissed."
"YAY!!!!!"
Johan laughed. "C'mon, Mom will be home soon and she'd be pissed if she found out we were gone. We have to make it look like we were here the whole time."
Judai nodded in agreement.
OMFG!!!! THEY KISSED! DDLKFJOSJFSO FJJFOOF yeeeeaaaa, I'm still on a non-sugar rush hahahahahhahahahahahahha! REVIEW PLEEEEEEAAAAAAAASE!
