Chapter Seven

John's POV

Everything was packed up in the car. Sam was in the front seat eager to go. Henri was checking the house one last time and I sat at the back with BK. He was sitting on my lap looking towards me.

"Do you think your gonna miss this place?" I asked Sam.

"No way, I hated it here. The only reason I stayed was because I thought that my father was coming to pick me up." replied Sam. "I really hope that we can find my dad."

"We will find him." I reassured Sam.

"Okay boys, lets go to Maren's," Henri said happily

"You seem a bit excited," I said to Henri "are you ok?"

"Im just happy about how you defeated the Mogs yesterday." He definitely was happy about that but this was a different side to Henri I haven't seen. "I need to stop of somewhere before we get to Maren's"

Me and Sam nodded. This was familiar, leaving a place after a few months. It was just a routine now.

We stopped at a flower shop.

"Henri what are we doing here." He ignored me and climbed out of the car. He bought red roses. He handed them to me at the back.

"I thought you might want them for Maren" Henri joked.

Bernie Kosar was sniffing the flowers and he had pollen all around his nose. He started to sneeze all over me. "Eww Bernie that's disgusting." Henri and sam chuckled and I swear that BK was smiling, if he could.

We pulled into her driveway. Henri snatched the flowers from my hands and walked up the doorway. I quickly followed with Sam next to me. Henri pounded his fist on the door. I knew that he wanted to so the other cepan but not this badly.

Maren's cepan opened the door and she was shocked. "Hey Kat" Henri grinned

"Hey B" Henri pulled Kat into a hug. Kat pulled away and kissed Henri slowly on the lips. "I've missed you" Henri and Kat stared into each others eyes.

"I think we better get going" Maren cleared her throat behind Kat. "I'll ride with John and Sam and you two can catch up." Looking towards our Cepans.

"Let me help you." I offered but Maren could easily carry her suitcase towards the back of the truck.

We hoped into our different cars. I sat at the front next to Six who was driving and Sam at the back playing with BK.

We were going to Austin, Texas to stay at a safe house owned by Six and Katerina. It was a 6 hour drive so I was able to talk to Six for a while. I liked her and wanted to be with her.

It was an hour into the drive and Sam was fast asleep at the back with BK lying on top of him. "We need to talk." I said to Maren.

"About the kiss?" she questioned.

"No about unicorns," I sarcastically said, she smiled. Her smiled lit up my heart I felt it beating faster and faster. "That kiss…"

"Was a mistake?" she questioned again.

"No! That kiss was…. I don't know how to put it" I paused for a bit "It was out of this world." She looked at me and she looked happy. "I want to be with you. When I am not next to you I feel my heart being ripped out. It hurts so much. I just need to be with you."


Six's POV

"No! That kiss was…. I don't know how to put it…It was out of this world." he stuttered. I stared at him with excitement, he felt the exact same way as I did. "I want to be with you. When I am not next to you I feel my heart being ripped out. It hurts so much. I just need to be with you."

I stared at the road. I didn't know what to say. I felt the exact same way. I wanted to say 'I love you' but I have only known him for 3 days. I didn't want to believe in love at first sight, but when I look at him, he is the only guy I see.

He was staring at me and I couldn't say anything. My mouth moved and words wouldn't come out.

"I see that you don't feel the same way as me, maybe we should just be friends, it would be for the best." I hear him say that and my heart crumbles. I didn't want to be friends. I wanted to be with him.

"No! I do want to be with you."

"Well can you at least say something." he inquired. I couldn't say anything. I haven't said anything for 2 minutes "C'mon say something" He was getting angry at me.

"What do you want me to say?"

"I don't know, maybe about how you feel about me?"

"What I feel right now when you said that it was best if we stayed friends. It broke my heart. I felt it being ripped out of my chest. I want to be in your arms all day long. When I am not around you my heart does not feel whole, but when I am near you my heart is beating so fast I can't control it.

I have no idea what is happening to me. When I saw you with Sarah today, I felt so jealous of her, being to look into your blue eyes all day long, being able to kiss you whenever I wanted to. To feel safe next to you. I want you so badly. I know that you still belong to Sarah but this road trip is killing me. Your right next to me and I can't touch you. I think it is destroying my insides. What I am feeling right now is that I am in love with you" I stopped the car at the side of the motorway and stared at him.

"I love you too" He smiled and leaned in to kiss. His kiss was slow at first but he was eager to put his tongue in my mouth. I opened and a rush of adrenaline seared through my body. I would take him right now if I could but Sam was at the back.

"I think that we should follow your protectors before we get our ass kicked" Sam said behind us. Me and John both burst out laughing.

"Hey Sam, do you mind driving, me and John need to find something at the back." I said to him.

"Um yeah sure" he replied. Me and john quickly exchanged seats with Sam and BK.

"What did we have to find." He whispered in my ear.

"This" I pulled my hands around his necks and stuck my tongue down his throat. He did the same and we fought with our tongues. He overpowered mine and the feeling of me in his arms was a time I felt we weren't fighting a war. I felt free from everything and anything.
