Chapter 2. Taking care of who you love
In the next day, the family lawyer signed Kate's release from the hospital, and John took her to his place. He decided that she would be more confortable in his room, he borrowed the red shirt and turned on the TV.
"Jason rented us your favorite movie: Godfather." John said hitting the button 'play'.
"Jason is the best!" Katie said making herself confortable in John's arms.
"Did you talk to your parents after last night?" he asked.
"Yeah. They can't leave Paris, mom has some ball or whatever to go and dad has a so called 'important meeting'." she said and John noticed her sad tone.
"It doesn't matter if they don't care, Kate. I do. You'll always have me." he said kissing her forehead.
"I know. You'll always have me too. We are more than friends, we are more than brothers." Katie said travelling her hands in his body until she reach his hands and squeeze it.
"Yeah. Never forget that, ninja girl." John said and they fell asleep in the middle of the movie. After all that kind of thing happens when you see the same movie as a sacred ritual every week.
[A/N: I took the ninja girl from JAG, but I think it's so cute that I couldn't avoid to put here.]
Katie woke up to an empty bed, she wasn't feeling secure to go downstairs, she was a little afraid of falling in the stairs, after all she had just left the hospital.
"JOHN TRUMAN CARTER! I really hope you're bringing me food, otherwise I'll have to kick your ass really hard!" she yelled and waited for an answer.
"Every year it pass you get more annoying." John said as he walked in the room with a tray full of waffles and pancakes.
"And every year it pass you love me more." Katie said and he rolled his eyes.
"Just eat, will you? That's the only thing that makes you shut up." he said and she just smiled.
One week later, Katie had come back to her house, and had returned the red shirt, she and John were walking in the streets, trying to find their way to the movies.
"Did you received 'the call'?" she asked looking a little upset.
"From our parents about the boring dinner we have to attend to?" John asked and she nodded "Yes... I have to buy a new tuxedo now..."
"And I have to buy a dress..." Katie said looking really upset about it.
"Well, look at the bright side, it could be worse. It could be your debutant ball." she punched him playfully.
"You're an evil person, J.J... You had to remind me of that? It was so awful!" she said hiding her face with her hands.
"Tell me about it! You took me with you!" he said and she laughed.
"You really tought I would give you the chance of laugh about it later? That thing still give me nightmares." Katie said making a face.
"Well, your mother sound really happy in see you in a dress like the lady that you are." John said and she started to run after him.
"Don't call me a lady, mister! I'm a lady just like you're a gentleman!" she said and he stopped.
"Hey! Don't call me that! I sound like my father!" he said and she laughed and they ran all the way to the movies.
In the next day, John went to buy a tuxedo and Katie to find a dress, they went separate ways and make a plan to meet each other at 6 on the tree house at Kate's place. When John got there with his new tuxedo in a bag he saw Katie already waiting for him.
"Where's your dress?" John asked.
"You're only going to see it at the dinner, something there has to be interesting." Katie said.
"Come on! I'm curious!" he said pleading.
"Don't care, you're going to have to wait... But hey... How do you feel about a piercing in my bellybutton?" she asked and waited for his reaction.
"Oh no! Don't tell me you did a piercing? Your parents are going to be so mad!" John said surprise, Katie lifted her shirt a little just too much to show her new piercing.
"I know. I'm crazy. But I doubt that they'll see my bellybutton before I turn 21!" Katie said smiling.
"They'll be really angry when they find out!" he said shaking his head.
"I'll tell them on my graduation from Harvard. I'll tell them: 'Hey, I did a piercing, but at least I graduated from law school!', and they'll forgive me..." She said smiling.
"You thought about everything didn't you?" he said.
"Well, not everything, forgot the camera to take a picture of you when you saw my piercing..." she teased.
"You're going to drive me and your parents mad one of these days."
"I promise I'll visit you in the institution."
"You're a good friend."
Despite John and Katie's wishes, the dinner came. And being in a closed room with lawyers and grown ups wasn't their idea of fun. John got dressed and went downstairs where the 'party' was going to happen, he had barely left the stairs when his mother came closer.
"John, honey... Your hair is a mess!" she put his hair the way she wanted and straightened his tie.
"Mom... Enough, alright... This is not my wedding, just a dinner." he said trying to escape.
At Katie's house...
Katie was finally ready, she walked downstairs and met her parents. She was dressing a beautiful white dress with little red flowers.
"Oh honey! You DO have a taste! Oh, I loved this dress!" her mother said.
"Thanks mother... Shall we go now?" Katie asked and they left.
John Carter, was very experient at boring dinners so he hide himself in his little secret place where he could see the door and not be seen. It was very useful... His grandmother had made a secret tunnel for him on that spot, and his parents had no idea. He saw the door opening once more, Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay(Katie's parents) came in, and right after them Katie came in, she looked gorgeous despite her face showing her annoyance.
"Looks like a great party, Mrs. Carter. If you excuse me, I'll go look for John." she said politely.
"Sure, honey. Good luck in finding my son, don't know where he hide on these dinners..." Katie smiled and walked away.
Kate went to the secret place and met John.
"Thank God someone fun is here..." she said and they entered in the tunnel.
"So, Kate... How could you buy such a beautiful dress?" he asked and she glared at him and then smiled.
"I asked the woman on the store to pick one." she said and in seconds they were in the gardner.
"Fresh air! I thought I would sufocate from so many french perfumes..." he said sitting on a bench, followed by Katie.
"Tell me about it... Why don't we have school trips that match these dinners?"
"Well, when they are at my place we can escape... But we have to do something about your place..." John stated.
"We can run to the kitchen and jump the window. That'll do..." Katie said.
"Good plan... Want to go to McDonald's?" he asked, Katie smiled right away.
"We'll have to drive thru... I'm not gonna enter there with this dress!"
"Ok. Last to get in the car is going to run our parents business!" he yelled running.
"That's not fair! I can barely walk with this dress!" Katie said taking her shoes off and throwing them at him, he stopped.
"How can you walk with this?" he asked seeing the size of the heels.
"I can't. That's the point." she said finally reaching him, John throw the shoes on his car and picked Katie up. "John! What you're doing?"
"You can't walk with this dress, right? So, I'm helping you!"
They came back 2 hours later and ran to the tunnel.
"Our parents are going to be so mad! We're 2 hours later! We should have know better..." Katie said putting her shoes back on.
"We'll say that we... fell asleep or something." John suggested and straightened his tie. "They're not going to buy any of our stories..."
They were just about to get out of the tunnel when they saw something kind of weird. There was some mens dressed all in black with masks and the guests of the dinner lookd scared.
"Katie... This is not good... Let's go back... We'll call the police."
A/N: Sorry again about my messed up with the previous chapter... But hey... I changed a lot chapter 2, for better I hope, now I can wait longer to do the future part where John is a doctor.
Well, sorry for taking so long to post it (I was in another state spending X-mas with my grandparents) but you're going to have to wait even more in the next one, because, now I'm going to travel again to spend new year with my other grandparents, I should be back by the middle of january, and I didn't even started to write chap. 3. So don't wait for me awake.
Kind of weird to call him John, don't you think? We are so used to Carter that is I don't know... Just weird, doesn't seem his name... Anyway.. Thanks for the reviews!!
