Chapter 37
Molly-Grace walked out of the tent that she had slept in last night. She had asked Lorna and Amara, whom had been the brunette from the night before, if she could sleep in their tent for the night. They had let her of course. She just couldn't face John right away. She had a spare sheet wrapped around her shoulders as she walked over to where the fire had been. She took a seat on one of the logs and was left to think about what's been going on in her life lately.
The image of that wh . . . woman and John kissing in front of her kept playing in her head. One question kept popping up in her mind. Had he cheated on her with other girls while they were together? Had they even been together? Had she always been the other woman? "Molly-G?" She heard her name be asked out. She turned around to see a tired Amara coming out of the tent in just a tank top that had 'Baby I'm On Fire' written on it and a pair of short shorts. She laughed as Amara yawn, stretching like a cat as she walked over to her.
She sat down on the log that Molly-Grace was sitting on. The three girls had become quick friends, but Rogue's place as her best friend would never be replaced with someone else. "Hey 'mara. What's up?" Molly-Grace asked the girl next to her. She saw the girl shiver from the morning breeze and shrugged off the blanket around her. She reached over and wrapped it around Amara's shoulders, letting her get some warmth on her. She saw Amara open her mouth to probably thank her, but she cut her off before she could. "Don't mention it." She simply said, not wanting to be thanked.
Amara and Lorna had been so kind to her when they didn't have to be. It was the least that she could do. "Nothing, just couldn't sleep." Amara said to her as she watched the sky with her. She glanced at the girl next to her, biting her lip. She wanted so badly to ask her something, but she wasn't sure if she was over stepping her boundaries or not. "Can I ask you something?" She decided to ask her. Molly-Grace turned her head to look at Amara curiously, wondering what she had to ask her.
"Sure."
"I don't want to but into your personal life, and it's not like I'm sticking up for him or anything, but since you've been here, Molly-G? Pyro's been happier." She rambled on, hoping that she didn't get mad at her. She looked back up at the sky, holding her hand above her eyes to try and block the sun.
She glanced back at Amara and saw the look in her eyes. "You're his friend." She didn't need to ask her. She could tell by the look in her eyes that Amara was in fact John's friend. "I get what you're trying to do, Amara, but John's moved on obviously. So I guess I should be too." She sounded so calm, so sure of herself.
Only, she really wasn't. She wasn't sure of anything right now, and she couldn't be any more confused about all of this. "That's just it, Molly-G. He's not over you. I can tell. He's using Wanda, everyone can tell that much. God, I think she even knows that." Amara tries again. He was her friend, he had made her feel welcome and actually gave a damn about her. He was the one who had placed her in the same tent as Lorna. He had showed her some cool tricks that she could do with her powers.
Molly-Grace didn't want to hear this though. She just didn't. She turned to Amara, a fake smile on her lips. "Can we . . . just not talk about him?" She asked to her, trying to stay calm. Amara nodded hesitantly. She didn't mean to make her feel uncomfortable though. "I'm going to go for a walk." She said as she got up, she saw Amara about to get up, but she didn't want any company. "If you don't mind, 'Mara, I'd like to go alone. I won't take off, promise." Molly-Grace said as she edged her way toward the woods. Amara just watched as she disappeared into the woods.
Molly-Grace stopped when she thought that she had walked far enough. She leaned against the tree, taking a shaky breath. A sob escaped her lips as the tears started rolling down her cheeks. She just couldn't take everything at once. She wasn't her father. She couldn't chase away her demons like he or her uncle Remy could. They always came back and attacked her at full force. Her knees felt weak, ready to give out at any second. She couldn't take it anymore. She covered her face with her hands as she slid down the trunk of the tree. She held her head in her hands as it all came back to her.
'Halfway through the class, Molly-Grace heard a flicker sound. The boy in front of her was holding his lighter open behind his back. She glanced over at her friend to notice she, too, was entranced in the boy creating a ball of fire in the palm up his hand. Rogue nudged her softly in the side. The boy next to her held out his hand. Frost slowly made it's way over to the ball of fire, freezing it completely. It dropped to the ground, shattering.
'FLASH'
She glanced behind her quickly, only she ran right into something . . . or rather someone. Two thuds were heard, both hitting the floor. Hard. Molly-Grace rubbed her head as she got up. She looked up to see who she had run into and her jaw dropped.
"Watch where you're fucking going . . . what the hell is your name anyways?" The boy said while rubbing his neck. He didn't like getting rammed into from such a small girl. She barely reached his shoulders for fucking sakes!
"M . . M . . . Molly-Grace." She stuttered, blushing a deep scarlet red. He, of course, just smirked, seeing how red she was because of him. He made her nervous and blush, that was a score in his books. Score one for Saint John Allerdyce.
'FLASH'
"Hey sweetheart, you missed me so much, you just had to come back I see." Molly-Grace spun around to see John Allerdyce. She still hated the stupid pet name, but it sounds a lot better hearing him say it than that slime ball Toad. She ran over to him and tackled him to the floor in a hug. Or they would have been on the floor if he didn't grab onto something to keep him on his feet.
'FLASH'
"Did the metal head mess with your head or something?" John asked her. He moved his hands under her but to hold her up, might as well get something out of this while she's having her crazy moment.
"No. You just called me Sweetheart." She said to him, knowing fully well that it didn't make any sense if you didn't know what had happened to her and the others last night. He looked at her confused, making her burst out laughing. She unwrapped her legs from around him and jumped down from his arms.
'FLASH'
"So we have the little mermaid with us now. Is your little crab friend in your room waiting to talk to you?" John said with a chuckle. Bobby and him high fived each other and laughed. She and Rogue just rolled their eyes at the boys.
"But Sebastian, you're right here. By the way, Sebastian? Have you seen Prince Eric around at all?" Molly-Grace teased back. Rogue and her high fived this time while laughing at John's glare. Bobby high fived her too. He had to give her credit, it was a pretty funny comeback.
'FLASH'
"I'm not leaving." John said to her, turning around to face her again. She had tear strained cheeks now. No matter how much she didn't want him to see her this weak. John froze, did he make her cry like this? No, she just hates not being the one in control is all. She doesn't want him like he wants her. How does he want her though?
"The hell you are! Get out!" She screamed. He wasn't going anywhere though, and she knew that. He needed to leave before she completely crashed right there and then. "I said get OUT!" Molly-Grace screamed louder, pointing to the door. He glared at her, but she stood her ground.
'FLASH'
"I can't." Logan said to the police, staring right into the eyes of the nervous cop. "Look." He said as he was holding his arms up. He retracted his claws, only to be shot in the head. Rogue and Molly-Grace screamed out.
"Daddy!" She screamed. She forced John off of her and went to her dad's side. She looked at the police with so much hate. He didn't even do anything but try to show them that he meant no harm.
'FLASH'
"Rogue! Let 'em go before you kill him!" Molly-Grace shouted as she rushed to John's side and helped him up to his feet. He leaned on her for support as he looked at Rogue disgusted. He never wanted her to do that again. They all looked up to see the jet landing. Logan got up slowly, she let out her breath she hadn't known she was holding.
'FLASH'
The jet jolted as it started to dart down. Kurt lost his grip on Molly-Grace. Her screams filled the air as she was let go. She really didn't feel like flying out of the jet again.
"John! Daddy!" Molly-Grace scream out as she went flying by Logan. John couldn't sit back this time. He reached out as far as he possibly could and took of hold of her hand tightly. She grabbed onto him with both hands as he struggled to pull her up to him. He finally got her up enough that she wrapped her arms around his neck and he pulled her tightly onto his lap, holding onto her for dear life as the jet spun out of control.
'FLASH'
"That the last pair of lips to touch those pink ones of yours, was some wanna be punk." John thought quick with a smirk as he stared at her lips. She smiled and rolled her eyes. She should have known that he'd find out one way or another. She looked around and bit her bottom lip before looking back at the boy before her. If her dad could fit in what he did, why the couldn't she?
"You should fix that." She said with a smirk meant for trouble. He smirked back at her and nodded as he leaned in to capture her lips. The kiss was slow, but had it's rough Pyro touch to it. His lips were warm, heating up her cold ones. He pulled her closer and his hand found it's way up to her face, cupping her head in his hand to bring her closer to him.
'FLASH'
"Don't argue with me, mermaid." He warned in a threatening tone. She scoffed and rolled her eyes. Now he was giving a damn about her. He could tell she was weak. She didn't even snap back at him. He watched as she flicked her wrist one last time before her body gave out and she went limp in his arms. He picked her up in his arms, just in time for the jet to land near them.
'FLASH'
"John. Oh god, John." She said to him with tears in her eyes as she through her arms around his neck. He ,very awkwardly, wrapped his arms around her waist as well. Sure they've hugged before, but this was different. She acted as if she hadn't seen him in years.
"I got you, Ariel. I got you. No one's gonna hurt you." He said to her, trying to be comforting to her. He knew that he was acting not himself, but she needed to hear him say it. He knew that she did. She sobbed on his shoulder. She hated feeling so weak, but she didn't know if she could handle anymore heartbreak in the next 24 hours.
'FLASH'
"I'm getting out of here, Molly-Grace. You can either come with me now or not." He was giving her a choice. Either come back to the mansion now, or he'd see her later or tomorrow. She shook her head, maybe he'd be calmer if he had the ride home alone? He just stormed off, bumping into her shoulder roughly as he stormed off.
'FLASH'
"I care about you dammit, Ariel! I'm no Prince Eric, that's Bobby." John was close to shouting, but he knew that Logan would come and kill him if he heard them fighting. If he wasn't already about to anyways. He hadn't even realized he had taken a few steps forward, and so had she. They were face to face now. All he wanted to do was grab her and just kiss the hell out of her. Molly-Grace cupped John's head in her hands, making him look at her.
"I don't want Prince Eric though. Didn't anyone ever tell you that I go for the crabs? They're funnier." Molly-Grace giggled, tears running down her face. John chuckled too. She didn't know how messed up that sounded, but he got the meaning behind it. She smiled, getting on the tips of her toes and placed a salty kiss on his lips. He responded instantly. Oh how he missed her lips, he didn't even know it was this badly.'
Her whole life seemed to flash before her eyes. Her sobs became louder as she remembered it all. All the good, and the bad, times that she and John had shared together. She heard a throat clear, making her jump where she sat. Her head snapped up to see who her intruder was. She couldn't help but let out a whimper upon seeing him standing there.
It was none other than John Allerdyce himself.
