Disclaimer – Wait…hold on I think I might…..just maybe…damn nope Still don't own John Bender or The Breakfast Club.
Passing the taxi driver the fare and tip, Claire climbed out of the taxi and closed the door behind her. She knew it had been the chicken shit thing to do, leaving John there and running out on Andy and Allison but she just couldn't be there anymore, not after what happened. Heading to the front stairs she paused for a moment before changing her mind and walking around the side of the building to the back yard. Being inside would just remind her of what she and John had done.
Walking over to the patio set, she sat down in one of the chairs and folded her legs underneath her and sighed. She wasn't going to go back down this path again, not with him. Not again. John Bender was out of her system.
Totally out.
Over him.
…
"Fuck me." She moaned and dropped her head into her hands and sighed.
"Love to, Princess."
Her head popped up and she saw John standing against her garage and narrowed her eyes at him. "What are YOU doing here. I thought I made it clear that we were done, John."
He stood up and started crossing the lawn towards her. "No, we are so far from fucking down, it's not even funny. You and I are the opposite of done, Princess."
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" she screamed at him. "I'm NOT your Princess. You lost the right to call me that." She stood up and glared at him. "Don't you get it? You and I are done. You walked away. You gave me up. We're done…." She was trying so hard not to cry that she didn't even know she was. Tears were streaming down her cheek as she yelled at him.
When John finally reached her he slid his hand up to her cheek and wiped the tears away. "You," he said in a calm and even voice, "will always be my princess. Always, Even when I am the biggest dipshit in the entire world. You will be my princess." Brushing his thumb across her cheek he kept looking down at her. "You my princess will always be just that." His other hand lifted up and he cupped her cheek. "I love you Claire. I love you so much that I can't breathe without you. I love you so much that I'm standing here blabbering all this sappy shit to you."
She couldn't help the hitch in her voice when she laughed softly. "John, I can't….I can't do this again. You broke my heart. Ripped it out and shredded it."
He laid his head against hers and closed his eyes. "All I'm asking, baby is to let me prove it to you. Please. Let me prove to you that I deserve you. Please. Let me prove to you that we belong together." His fingers curled in her hair and he pressed the softest kiss to her forehead. "Just a chance, please. I know that I don't deserve it. I know…"
Looking up at John, Claire felt something flare inside of her. "John…" she whispered out and closed her eyes.
"Slow. We'll…take things slow. "Looking up she saw the look on his face and shook her head. "I'm not promising anything John but….slow."
Nodding his head he leaned in and kissed her softly. "Slow. Can….can we just go inside and spend some time together? I'm not asking for anything just. I know that we have things to talk about."
"Let's go inside and talk." She reached down and took his hand in hers. "I'll put some coffee on."
