Chapter 7

Becki stretched sleepily as she woke, glancing at the clock she smiled, it was midday and she'd slept right through the night; no waking herself up screaming. She found it hard to remember the last time that had happened but she could remember it; the last time she was with John!

He was no where in sight which she was quite grateful for, she still didn't know what to say to him and she wasn't sure that they'd ever be able to have a civil conversation about what had happened.

Sighing she sat up and flung her legs off the bed and gasped when a sharp pain shot through her foot.

'Damn foot' she thought as she glared at the offending body part 'I wish someone would chop you off! That would teach ya! Bex your talking to your foot!'

Grabbing her crutches she pulled herself up and sucked in a deep breath as once again it felt like she was getting stabbed in the ankle.

"What is wrong with you?" she said out loud as she looked down at her cast covered foot. It wasn't normal, her foot should be healing and she definitely shouldn't be feeling the pain she was suffering through.

She slipped her one shoe back on before hopping over to Johns bathroom to get a glass of water, once she had filled the glass she realised she couldn't get it back over to her painkillers.

"Damn it!" she muttered as she hopped back over to her painkillers.

She hated the crutches, they made her grumpy. All she wanted to do was throw them in the trash and walk without them but no matter how she tried her foot would not accept that idea. She hopped back to the water after throwing two painkillers into her mouth, the only good thing about the painkillers was that they made her space out or fall asleep, so she wouldn't have to worry about where she was because once the painkillers kicked in she wouldn't notice.

'Well at least you have some benefits' she thought as she looked down to her foot once again before hopping back to the bed and sitting down.

Rummaging through her bag she located her vest top that Jo and Melody had made her take off the previous night. She removed the now wrinkled shirt she had been forced to wear and pulled the top on, looking down at herself she decided the red top was quite tiny so she pulled the shirt back on, fastened the top buttons and tied it up round her waist. Satisfied, she flung the strap of her bag over her head so her bag hung round her neck and hopped out of the room.

'Grrr' she thought as she looked at the stairs. It had taken her forever to get the hang of her crutches but she still hadn't quite mastered stairs, getting up them she could manage but coming back down- she tended to fall!

'Just call for someone to help you' a voice in her head said

But Bex being as stubborn as she was chose to ignore the voice of reason and started to descend the stairs. She'd managed to navigate two steps when she lost her balance,

'Ah crap!'

She felt herself fall forwards but something grabbed the back of her shirt and pulled her back rather forcefully, she yelped in shock and her crutches fell from her arms and clattered down the stairs.

"Are you trying to kill yourself?" Matt asked as he held the back of her shirt with a smirk on his face. Bex couldn't get her balance on one leg so she just hung there, freaking out as Matt held the back of her shirt.

No sooner had her crutches hit the floor than John came zooming along the hallway and up the stairs, coming to a halt in front of Bex with panic in his eyes and resting his hands on her hips, trying to steady her.

Bex would have laughed at the look on his face if she wasn't freaking out at nearly falling and being irritated with herself and her crutches.

"Are you ok?" John asked quickly, looking at her intensely, trying to access if she was okay. When he'd heard her crutches falling he thought his heart was gonna burst out of his chest in panic.

"Uh huh" Bex mumbled, still hanging as Jo and Jeff appeared at the bottom of the stairs to see what was happening.

"OI! What's going on! Hello? Remember me? Ya know the cripple!" Melody yelled from her bedroom, she was stranded until someone helped her out of the bed.

John smirked and looked at Matt "I'll let you get her"

"Um… If I let go she's gonna fall" he replied motioning to his right hand which was grasping onto the back of Becki's shirt.

"I got it" John replied as he snaked an arm around her.

Bex yelped in shock as Matt chuckled "Dude! Now is not the time to be grabbing her ass"

With a grin John flipped him off before throwing Bex over his shoulder.

"What the…" Bex whimpered as John turned around, careful not to hit her foot on the wall, before heading down the stairs with Bex hanging from his shoulder.


Jeff flopped onto the sofa as John carried Bex in as Jo followed laughing.

"What were you trying to do?" Jo laughed as Becki hung lifelessly over Johns shoulder.

"Yes" Bex mumbled which caused Joanne to laugh.

"Yes what?"

"I dunno" the painkillers were definitely kicking in.

"Oookaaaay" Jo replied as John carefully placed Bex on the sofa next to Jeff.

Becki immediately latched onto Jeff's arm as John knelt in front her and placed his hands on her knees.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked, wishing it was his arm she was clinging to.

"Yep" she sighed as she removed her bag from round her neck and rested her head on Jeff's shoulder, the painkillers were having the desired effect and Bex didn't even notice the concern on Johns face or that his hands were resting on her knees.

"How many painkillers have you taken?" Melody asked as Matt carried her into the room.

Melody laughed as John looked from her to Bex even more panicked as Bex replied "Two"

"Calm down John, your just not gonna get any sense out of her for a while" Mel said as John stared at Becki.

"Oh…um…okay" he replied standing up and walking away from Bex.

"What's up?" Jo asked as she followed him to the kitchen.

"Nothing, I just wanted to uh…speak to her before I had to catch my flight"

"That's ok! We're coming with ya" Jo replied with a grin as John stared at her.

"What?"

"We're coming with ya"

"Yeah I heard ya"

"Then why'd ya ask?" Jo smirked

"Anyone ever told you that you're devious?"

"Yeah all the time! Was everything ok last night?"

John shrugged, he'd hardly slept for fear of Bex having a nightmare, holding her in his arms all night had made him realise that he never wanted Becki to be anywhere else but in his arms but first he needed to get over his mixed up emotions about everything else.

"Well we're both alive"

"Everything will be fine John! We're gonna go get our stuff and we'll meet ya at the airport"

"Okay" John sighed and followed her back into the living room.

"Ok well everyone apart from Bex then" Jo said as she smiled at Becki sleeping on Jeff's shoulder.

"Those painkillers must be strong" Matt observed as he watched Jeff carefully disentangle himself from Bex and lay her down on the sofa.

"Strongest they could give her" Melody confirmed as she gave John a small smile, she'd had a full nights sleep and hadn't once heard Becki scream, she was very grateful to John.

John returned the smile "I'll bring her to the airport"

"Kay! Right people lets go" Jo ordered before saying goodbye to John's dad, who was sitting in the kitchen trying to blend in, then bundled everyone out of the door telling John to 'be good' as she left.

John smirked as he watched her leave, once the front door closed he walked back over to Bex and watched her sleeping for a moment before heading to the kitchen to talk to his Dad.


Bex slowly opened her eyes and groaned. She was in a cabin, the same cabin Dean had held her captive in.

'Your dreaming, it's just a dream, wake up, WAKE UP NOW!' her subconscious screamed at her.

If only it was that easy.

Becki shuddered as she heard the door slam and footsteps approached her, she shut her eyes, hoping whoever it was would leave her alone.

"Get up!" a voice ordered

This always happened, she'd try to get up but she wouldn't be able to and then….

She'd get dragged to her feet by her hair and that's when she'd come face to face with Dean.

"Hey baby"

Becki whimpered as Dean forced his lips down on hers. Struggling to escape she tried to kick him but couldn't as her ankle was broken, so then she'd try to punch him but she was so weak it made no impact. Dean got angry at her struggles and slammed her hard against the cabin wall holding her there with one hand around her neck, strangling her. Bex cried as with his free hand Dean tried to rip her clothes from her body. Panicking Bex kicked out and screamed as her ankle erupted in agony.

Her efforts would earn her a slap across her face and a painful punch to her abdomen.

"Don't try that again" Dean warned as an evil grin spread across his face.

Bex screwed her eyes shut as Dean laughed, moving his face so it was an inch away from hers her smirked before licking her cheek. Becki couldn't resist and kicked out again causing not only her foot but her assailant to cry out in pain.

Opening her eyes Becki froze as the face before her changed, it was no longer Dean….It was John!

John grinned and whispered menacingly "Big mistake"

Becki screamed as his fist came towards her….


"WAKE UP!" John yelled as Bex sat bolt upright mid scream.

"Um...we'll stay in here" Marc said from the doorway as he and John Snr headed back into the kitchen with worried looks on their faces.

Becki held her head in her hands, trying to get her breath back. She'd had that dream more than once, it seemed so real and it terrified her.

She flinched as John touched her arm "Are you ok?"

When she didn't answer John reached out for her, he froze as Bex backed away from him, she looked like she was trying to sink into the sofa to get away from him as she glanced at him with fear in her eyes. That look literally broke his heart, she was scared of him.

"Bex…" he reached for her again

"Don't touch me" she snapped as she flinched away from him again.

She didn't miss the hurt look in his eyes, sighingshe whispered"Sorry"as she ran a hand through her hair.

"It's just…." her nightmare flashed through her mind once again and she shuddered, it was so vivid and was made worse to wake up to find the person she was having the nightmare about, staring at her.

"Just…please…stay away from me"
