Disclaimer once again I don't own any of the original Dirty Dancing characters or original story line or anything else blah blah blah; I do however own Christian and Tanner they're my boys!
Please read & review, I LOVE reviews, it makes my day when someone has something to say about what I've written (good or bad). I'm very interested to hear what people think, and if there is anything I should improve on. Thanks.
Thank you very much to the people that have reviewed so far, I appreciate the positive feedback. Special thanks to all the people who've followed the story from the beginning I'm glad you're enjoying it!
I couldn't believe what had just happened, was Christian completely insane? I thought that we had straightened everything out between us and things seemed to be going really well. I slowly made my way back to the White Room and cried along the way, when I arrived Christian and Penny were still inside. As I reached the top of the stairs and rounded the stub wall at the top my eyes met Christian's and I lost control, "What the hell's the matter with you Christian!" I screamed as I ran across the room toward him, "Do you have any idea what you've done!" When I reached him, the impact of my hands on his chest pushed him back against the wall.
"Baby, what's the matter with you, what are you talking about. I'm sure you and Johnny will work things out and if you don't then maybe he was never really the one after all."
"Is that was this is all about Christian, you trying to prove something?" I had stopped crying at that point I was too angry to cry anymore.
Christian didn't say anything; he just stood there staring out the window, his hands shoved in the pockets of his black pants.
"Well?" I pushed, "don't you have anything to say? Don't you think you owe me more than this?"
"No Baby," Christian began, "I don't think I owe you anything, just like you told me you didn't owe me anything. There is no us, there never was; remember?" And with that he turned and left the room.
I suddenly felt very guilty, I thought that he and I had settled things nicely and that no one had gotten hurt in the process, but now I knew I had been wrong. I had hurt Christian and he'd been trying all this time to be okay with it. And now I had hurt Johnny as well, I didn't even know where he'd gone or if he'd ever be back. I looked up and across the room to see Penny still standing there watching me, she hadn't said a word the entire time but I could tell by the look of disapproval on her face that she couldn't believe that I had hurt Johnny that way. I hadn't even really done anything wrong but no one was willing to hear my side of the story, but who was I kidding, I didn't even want to hear my side of the story. I felt like the most terrible person in the world.
Not wanting to stand there with Penny looking at me in disgust I turned and ran down the stairs when I got outside I just kept running.
"Baby?!" Lisa called out to me as I ran past her not slowing my pace at all, "Baby what's wrong!" She yelled after me.
When I finally stopped I found myself standing on Johnny's door step, my face was soaked with tears and my hair blown all over from running.
I stood there for a moment to catch my breath and then finally knocked on the door and called out, "Johnny?"
I waited for several moments with no response and I really wasn't surprised. Pushing gently on the door it opened up exposing the room behind it, I stepped in and glanced around, everything was exactly where it had been that morning when we woke up together. Slowly I moved around the room running my hand over the tables and other furniture along the wall, the rocking chair had a few of Johnny's shirts thrown over the back. I pulled one down and held it up to my face breathing in deeply; his scent was all over it which made it somehow comforting. Finally reaching the bed I laid down curling up in the fetal position with Johnny's shirt hugged tightly in my arms.
As he opened his mouth to speak I quickly lifted my finger to his lips and interrupted him, "Johnny I am so sorry. I'm so sorry about Christian, you were so busy with lessons and all and he was good company." I paused a moment knowing that was no excuse and knew that I had to go on, he deserved at least that much. "But then..." clearing my throat I tried to continue, "Christian kissed me Johnny, he did, and it confused me. It confused me more than I think I have ever been in my entire life, I didn't know what to think. But then... then I realized that the only person who was really confused was Christian. For me it was just the wake up call that I had needed," I stopped for a brief moment to collect myself, Johnny just sat there listening, not interrupting me.
Finally I was able to continue, "Johnny," the tears welled up in my eyes as I spoke, "I," there was a long pause, "I have fallen head over heels, 100 percent crazy in love with you and I don't want anyone or anything but you."
We sat there for a second or two in silence, the thoughts racing through my mind, "would he forgive me, wouldn't he," I truly didn't know. Then finally after what felt like hours he looked up at me with that sweet smiled I had always loved, his eyes were glistening with tears as he leaned forward cupping my cheeks in his hands and arching his neck slightly he kissed me. Relief swept over my body like a wave and I sunk into the kiss letting it completely over take me.
After several moments Johnny leaned back looking into my eyes and then finally spoke, "I am so glad to hear you say that, I've wanted to tell you for so long but..."
"Tell me what?" I asked innocently.
Johnny just smiled and then whispered, "I love you too."
Love you all
Jaye!
