Breathe 26
Two days later John walked into the arrivals lounge at Manchester Airport. He couldn't help but laugh when he spotted Randy failing miserably at trying to look inconspicuous near the exit. A couple of people had recognised him, they were whispering to one another while staring at him. Randy pulled his hood even further over his head.
They spotted John as he approached, running over they asked for autographs which he graciously signed causing even more people to come over to see what the fuss was about.
As much as he loved his fans Randy was in no mood to be stuck in the airport for hours so he headed to his rental car hoping John would get the hint. Twenty minutes later John emerged from the terminal, Randy jumped out of the car and called him over.
"Hey man, what'd you disappear for?" John asked as he approached
"Sorry dude, just not in the mood"
John nodded as he dumped his bag in the car.
"You look like crap!"
"Gee thanks!" Randy replied as John climbed into the car.
"Your welcome"
"Jackass" Randy laughed as he started the car.
Laying on her sofa, Becki threw candy in the air and tried to catch them in her mouth. She was bored, John had confiscated her laptop telling her she was not allowed to work whilst he was in England. So now she was stuck in her house with nowhere to go and nothing to do! Looking at her watch she figured John would be there by now, she missed him already. John had bought her another new cell phone and she jumped when it started to ring, as far as Becki knew John was the only person with the number so she answered it instantly.
"Hello?"
"Matt Hardy reporting for Becki watch!"
Becki laughed "What?"
"I'm under instruction to keep a check on you"
"Oh really?"
"Really!"
"So Matthew tell me! Why are you supposed to keep check on me?"
"Ask John"
"I'm asking you" Becki teased whilst thinking John was sweet.
"He wants to make sure your ok"
"Awww"
"Yeah, Yeah! He gave me your cell number and instructed me to keep you entertained"
"How you gonna do that?"
"Open your front door" Becki stood up and headed to the door.
"Ok" she replied as she pulled the door open to find Matt and another guy stood at her door.
"Who are you?" she asked the stranger, completely ignoring Matt.
Laughing he replied "Jeff"
"My brother" Matt added
"Oh! Hi!" Becki replied
"Hi" Jeff answered as he walked into her house.
"Not saying hello to me then?" Matt asked taking Becki's cell from her ear.
"Hello" she replied closing her door behind Matt.
"Nice house" Jeff said as he inspected her living room.
Becki stared at him for a moment before saying "Thanks"
"So are we going?" Jeff asked Matt
"Going where?" Bex questioned
"You'll see! Come one" Matt replied, taking Becki's hand and dragging her out of the house.
"How's Bex?" Randy asked as he weaved his way through the traffic.
"Pretending she's fine, I've asked Matt to keep her company while I'm here"
"I figured she'd spend the time on that damn laptop"
John laughed "I stole it!"
"Ooh she'll be mad" Randy laughed
"Nah, she loves me!" John grinned she did actually love him.
Randy glanced at John "So I've heard"
"Huh?"
"She told me!" Randy smirked
"Told you what?"
Rolling his eyes Randy replied "That she loves you dumb ass"
"Oh" John grinned again
"Stupid English one way systems" Randy muttered, the amount of times he'd gotten lost on his way to the hospital was beyond him.
"I swear they change every day!" he announced as he went all the way around a roundabout.
John laughed "Don't blame the roads here! You get lost everywhere you go"
"Yeah! Shut up!" Randy replied.
Thinking it was best to say no more about Randy's sense of direction, John pulled out his cell and called Becki.
"Lo!" she answered happily.
"Yo!"
"Hey! You got there in one piece then?"
"Yeah, not so sure about getting out of this car in one piece though" he replied as Randy glared.
"Randy getting lost again?"
"Yup"
Becki laughed "Poor Randy"
"Poor me! I'm the one in the car with him!"
"Hi Bex! Tell your boyfriend to shut the hell up for me will ya? Thanks babe!" Randy yelled as Becki laughed.
"John shut the hell up!" Becki complied.
John chuckled and changed the subject "You ok?"
"Yeah!"
"Not bored?"
"Nope, I'm at Jeff's house"
"Keeping you entertained I hope"
"They're crazy! They've been filming for they're internet show, they decided to throw eggs at each other"
"Ok then" John replied
"You didn't need to get Matt to watch me though" Becki protested
"Maybe not, but I'd rather he did!"
"Thanks"
"For what?"
"Being sweet"
"What have I told you about that?"
"Well you are"
In the background Randy made kissing noises.
"Tell him to shut up"
"Randy, Bex said shut up"
The kissing noises got louder.
"Ok I'm gonna go, call me once you've seen Mel please"
"I will"
"Thanks, see ya later"
"Later" John hung up as Randy laughed.
"What? No I love you, I love you too, no I love you more blah, blah, blah"
"Dude shut up!" John laughed.
After Randy getting lost on two more occasions the two finally arrived at the hospital.
"You sure this is the right hospital?" John teased
"Ha ha your so funny!"
"Yeah I know"
John was nearly knocked into the wall as a guy ran straight into him.
"Hey watch it buddy" John snapped
The guy was pretty well built, similar to Randy, his scruffy black hair was hanging in his eyes slightly, his white t-shirt was ripped at the bottom and he was in a hurry. John frowned as the guy paused and looked from John to Randy then back again, he seemed to recognise them and smirked before running away down the hall.
"Jackass" John mumbled as Randy frowned and looked in the direction the guy had gone.
"What?" John asked.
"I dunno, there was just something about him" Randy replied as he started walking again.
John followed and nearly ran straight into Randy when they turned a corner. Randy had stopped, watching people run in and out of a room, while another man shouted about security.
"Please don't tell me that's Melody's room" John stated
"That's Melody's room" Randy replied
The guy that was shouting about security looked over to them and John knew instantly that it was Becki's father, although he didn't look old enough to have a daughter that would be Becki's age there was no mistaking the features they both shared.
"He got to her" he said simply to Randy before shouting at someone about security again.
"That was him!" Randy realised.
No one heard him, John had already took off in the direction Dean had gone.
