Chapter Fifteen
Once again they were in the van. Dawn's complaining irritated the others, it was bad enough that Big Show had eaten so much for breakfast and now had a stomachache…
"I can't even breathe!" Dawn moaned fanning herself with a folded piece of paper. They had wanted to pull open the windows but had a bad experience with the little kids earlier on, chucking rocks and rubbish at them. Dawn shifted around in her seat, which she shared with Torrie and Rey.
"Damn it Dawn! Stop moving about and complaining!" Rey complained. "You're not the only one who's boiling in here…"
"Shut up. You're small you don't get to have any say in this…" Dawn said childishly. "Take of your damn mask then… it's not as if you have a zit to hide…"
"You'd be surprised!" Eddie laughed, making a joke, which no one laughed to…
Torrie watched John sleeping next to her, his face pressed against the window, his mouth hanging open, snoring softly.
"What did John do last night to get that tired?" chuckled Dawn. Torrie bit her lip. What if Dawn knew? After all she was in that room…
"Beats me…" Torrie quickly added, trying to be casual. She saw Dawn's grin at the corner of her eye… that grin of hers was never a good sign.
The van came to a sudden halt throwing the superstars forward, their faces bashing into the seats in front of them all because two teenage boys decided to cross the road. John's head slammed on the window causing a loud 'thud', waking him up. Torrie chortled when she saw him, a red mark on the left side of his face. He rubbed it and winced.
"Ouch, what happened?" he asked groggily. Torrie cocked her head to the front as John saw for himself. The driver stuck his head out of the window, cursing at the two boys who took their own sweet time.
"You are an idiot!" Torrie laughed as she pinched his cheek. He looked at her in uncertainty.
"What?" he asked naively, causing her to laugh out even louder. The others watched them, just as confused as John was.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked with a smirk. She shook her head, still in hysterics.
"Must be the heat…" Dawn concluded, waving her sheet of paper briskly like a fan.
"Maybe she's on drugs…" suggested Rey. "Happy pills or something…"
John looked at Rey and then at Torrie, suddenly burst into a laughing fit without a cause. Torrie knew exactly why John was so amused at Rey's comment… the sleeping pills. Now John was drowning her laughter out, causing Torrie to cackle even louder. The others were not amused, especially with two hyenas laughing raucously. Dawn gritted her teeth in annoyance as she covered her ears. Torrie yanked at John's jersey and pointed at Dawn, laughing. Somehow, this was extremely humorous…
When they had arrived at the hospital they were visiting, everyone rushed out of the van. Their hands glued to their ears, blocking out John and Torrie's 'happiness'… more like abnormality actually… The first to get out was Dawn, despite being at the back, she dived for the doors before she got permanently deaf. Being at the back with the troublesome two probably motivated her to get out quicker…
The last to get out was of course the two who were clutching their sore stomachs, their faces beet red and gasping for breath in between chuckles. Just when they were about to end their laughing marathon, John tripped over his own foot while getting out of the van.
"Oh crap…" Show sighed rolling his eyes. "The other van isn't here yet and now we'll have to wait for them and listen to these two nut-heads!"
"I… can't… breathe...hahahahahahahaha!!!" chortled John as he leaned against the wall of the building they were outside of. Torrie sat on the floor with her back up against the wall, giggling.
"Let's get inside!" demanded Dawn as she stormed inside. Torrie got up to follow her but Dawn insisted that she and John stay outside. "Stay! You two stay outside and wait for the others!"
"Ok!" Torrie piped cheerfully with a ridiculous grin on her face.
"I wonder if their cheeks hurt…" Rey muttered as he followed Eddie into the building.
The two stood by the building, their laughter dissipating eventually. John sat himself next to Torrie, with his head resting on hers.
"What is wrong with us?" she asked him with a chuckle. He looked at her and smiled warmly.
"I think it's cos we're in love…" he said dreamily.
They certainly were on love. Looking into his eyes and hearing what he just said sparked memories of why she was so in love with him a long time ago. They grew nearer for a kiss, but both of them ruined it by laughing…
"Why are we so happy?" he chuckled. "It's like we're on drugs or something…"
"You make me happy," Torrie beamed. John quickly pecked her on the lips. She laughed again as she watched him prance around like a fool.
"Isn't it amazing how everything is so funny when you're in love?" he giggled as he skipped around idiotically.
"I swear you're beginning to sound gay!" she heckled. He ran up to her speedily and picked her up off the ground, carrying her over his shoulder and spinning her around.
"John! You're making me dizzy you idiot!" she yelled as she held on tightly to him. He spun around faster and faster but soon slowed down as he sat on the ground and let Torrie go too.
"I'm so dizzy…" he said seizing his head as he shut his eyes and lay in Torrie's lap. Torrie smiled faintly with her eyes half shut, wanting to rest. John was examining her face, making her insecure.
"What are you looking at punk?" she joked in a fierce tone as she tickled his sides. He wriggled out of her clutches.
"You're so beautiful…" he said softly, staring intently into her emerald green eyes. Torrie's heart seized for a moment, she blushed immediately. He then focused on her pouty lips, so tender and soft. He raised his head and reached for her head, bringing it lower, the two engaging in a powerful lip lock. As uncomfortable as the position was, that was a kiss they both were going to remember.
Breaking apart almost too soon by the sound of a vehicle arriving the premises. The two unwillingly got off of each other and straightened their crumpled, dusty clothes. It was the other van, they had just reached the gates.
"Let's go tell the others," sighed John breathlessly as he swung his arms backwards and forwards casually. Torrie nodded as she and John went inside. Torrie pressed her lips against each other, savouring what was left the kiss. John had no idea what he had just done but to him, that was most definitely the highlight the trip! Except for maybe what happened last night, but this was different… Whatever it was… sparks flew between the two of them. And boy did it feel good.
