Chapter 27

Randy didn't know whether to go after John or not. 'What am I gonna do? I've only got one good arm' he thought to himself running after John anyway. He found John at the entrance to the hospital just in time to see Dean drive past and wave at them!

Randy couldn't believe it, the guy actually had the nerve to wave at them after everything he had done. Stunned he watched as John tore a trash can from its bolts and threw it at the car with every ounce of strength he had.

The back window shattered with the impact and the car promptly sped away.

"Son of a bitch!" John yelled in frustration.

"Dude that was bolted to the floor! You just tore it from its bolts!" Randy was impressed.

John shrugged "Just a pity it wasn't that assholes head I was tearing off! Did you see him? He waved at us!"

Randy frowned "Yeah I saw him"

Letting out a frustrated sigh John stated "I'm gonna rip his arms off and beat him to death with them! Then lets see him wave"

Before Randy could reply a bunch of cops came tearing over shouting at John for damaging hospital property.

John didn't care, if the hospitals so called security had done their job he wouldn't have had to throw the bin at the car and he told them so.

"Look can we go and see our friend now please?" Randy was getting tired of listening to the cops complain.

"I'm not sure sir" a young cop said.

Randy finally lost his patience "Instead of wasting your time keeping us from our friend, don't you think you should be out there catching the jackass that hurt her in the first place" he said through clenched teeth.

"Yeah" John added.

Finally the cops gave in and John and Randy headed back towards Melody's room.

"Don't you dare" Becki warned Jeff who was approaching her with an egg.

"I think you'd best run" Matt laughed at Becki who was backing slowly away from his brother.

Becki squealed and ran as Jeff ran towards her preparing to throw the offending egg. Jeff easily caught up to her and grabbed her round the waist with a grin on his face.

"Do you really think I'd throw it at you?" he laughed and added "all I wanted was a hug"

Becki spun round warily, she liked Jeff, he was so eccentric, it took her mind off everything else because she was trying to figure him out.

"Can I have a hug then?" he asked grinning like a little boy and holding his arms out.

"Ok" Becki hugged him and screamed as he cracked the egg on her back and took off running.

Matt was falling over laughing from his position on the porch steps of Jeff's house.

"Eww that's not funny" Becki protested, turning round in circles trying to work out how to get the egg off her.

"Oh it was!" Matt spluttered

Becki glared at Matt, a sly smile spread across her face as she spotted the remaining eggs from the brothers 'egg dual' earlier. Slowly she moved to where they were resting, Matt was still laughing and hadn't noticed Becki moving. Becki picked up an egg and quickly lobbed it at Matt, it hit him in the stomach and stunned him.

"Now that was funny!" Becki laughed and ran as Matt grabbed an egg and threw it at her.

"Egg dual number two!" Jeff shouted as he joined in.

Randy and John arrived at Melody's room to find Becki's dad sat outside holding his head in his hands.

"What happened?" Randy asked

"Doctors say its her leg, but they wont let me in yet" he replied not looking up.

Randy sat down next to him as John paced the hallway.

"Oh yeah, David this is John, John this is David, Becki's dad"

"Nice to meet you" David said looking up.

"Likewise" John replied still pacing.

"Guess you didn't catch him then" David said to Randy

"No he was in a car, dude sit down" Randy ordered John.

John stormed over and flopped down in a chair, he was still fuming.

"Calm down man" Randy said

"No"

"Becki said your temper was an act! Guess she was wrong" David snapped.

John was in no mood to be nice "He hurt the woman I love so excuse me if I don't hold my temper"

"You love Mel?" David asked

"No" John snapped, glaring at the wall.

"Then what do you mean?"

John was confused, then he remembered Randy saying only Bex and Mel knew the whole story.

"Nothing"

"No tell me what you mean!"

John sighed "I'm in love with Becki"

David sank into his chair "He hurt my daughter?"

"Yes, it's why she left"

John and Randy watched as David now paced the hallway.

"They told me he cheated and was the jealous type which was why Bex didn't want to see him"

The door to Melody's room opened and a doctor walked out looking grim. John and Randy stood up and joined David and the doctor.

"There was a heavy amount of pressure put on her leg, it looks like we will have to operate again"

John didn't even know Mel had been operated on to begin with, he glared at Randy, it seemed there was a lot he hadn't been told.

"He didn't do anything else?" Randy asked

"There are no additional injuries, no"

"Can we see her?" David asked

"Yes, but be aware she's under sedation at the moment and will most likely only gain consciousness tomorrow"

"Thank you" David replied walking into the room.

John and Randy followed. Randy glanced at John as they entered, he had wanted to tell him what to expect before he saw Mel but it was too late now.

John was speechless, he couldn't believe his eyes. 'That's not Mel' he said to himself. A girl was laying in the bed, her left leg had a huge cast on it with bars and tubes attached to it. Her right hand was heavily bandaged as was her left arm and her head. She was attached to two machines and a drip, an oxygen mask covered her bruised and cut face.

"My god" was all John could say.

David sat down and the side of the bed and watched Melody intently as Randy whispered "Sorry"

John couldn't stay in the room, he walked out and sat down in one of the chairs outside the door.

"You ok?" Randy asked as he sat next to him.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I told you what injuries she had, you try describing that"

"Terrifying!" John stated.

"I know!"

"He wants Becki" John couldn't say anything else, that thought alone absolutely terrified him now, he couldn't bear to think of seeing Bex like that.

"He's not going to get to Becki, he doesn't know where she is" Randy tried to reassure his friend who looked mortified.

"Your right! And I swear if he even tries to get near Becki I'll kill him"

Becki opened her front door and bounced into her house. She had had a blast with Matt and Jeff and couldn't wait to do it again. She grabbed her cell and called Matt.

"Hey you home?"

"Yes and all doors and windows are locked before you ask"

"Good, will you be ok tomorrow by yourself?"

Becki rolled her eyes "Yes dad!"

"I'll come round as soon as I get back tomorrow night ok"

"Matt I'll be fine"

"I'm sure you will I'm just coming to keep you company"

"No John's making you"

"He worries about you and besides I want to! So see ya tomorrow"

"Ok bye"

Becki curled up on her sofa and looked at her watch, she frowned 'John said he'd call once he'd seen Mel' she thought. 'That was hours ago' she picked up her cell again and called John.

"Hey"

"Hey are you ok?"

John sighed "Yes I'm fine"

"You don't sound fine" Becki stated

"I'm just tried"

"You sure?"

"Positive" John replied trying to sound normal.

"Ok"

"Did you have a good time with Matt and Jeff?" John wanted to change the subject before she asked about Mel.

"Yeah it was great, Jeff's amazing"

"Should I be jealous?" John teased, hearing her voice was starting to make him feel better.

"Um maybe!" she teased back.

"In that case I'll just go shall I?"

"No" Becki laughed

"I have to go anyway, I have to make my way to the interviews"

"oh ok, I'll talk to you later then"

"Bex?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you" John hung up before she could reply. She frowned, 'he's hiding something' she said to herself and vowed to get to the bottom of it.

The next day John spent the whole day doing interviews for different magazines and TV shows. Randy had gone with him to keep him company and they were now heading back to the hospital. John wasn't very keen on going back to the hospital, seeing Melody the way she was spooked him.

"What time's your flight tomorrow?"

"Six thirty"

"Morning?"

"Nah"

They sat in silence for the rest of the journey to the hospital and amazingly Randy didn't get lost. Randy entered the room first, happy to see that Mel was awake he walked over and sat down at the side of her bed. David was sat at the other side. Mel smiled the best she could at Randy but then her eyes widened when she saw John in the doorway.

"What is it?" David asked looking from John to Mel.

Melody tried to get the oxygen mask away from her mouth but she couldn't, Randy gently reached out and moved it for her.

"Where….Where's Becki?"

"It's ok she's at home in North Carolina" David said soothingly

But Melody started to struggle and John got a sinking feeling in his stomach as Melody stared at him, she looked terrified and he knew what she was going to say.

"No!" she tried to shout.

"It's ok Mel" David tried to calm her

"No" still looking at John with wide eyes she cried "He knows where she is!"

David and Randy both turned to look at John in shock as he ran out of the room.

Becki was bored out her mind, 'if only John had left me my laptop' she thought.

She lay down on her sofa and grabbed a book. She was just getting into it when there was a knock at her door. Looking at her watch she figured it would beMatt coming to check on her. Hopping up happily she made her way over to the door. Opening it she froze

"Hey baby" a familiar voice sneered.
