Plus I get to see Mr Cena himself a week on thursday so I can look forward to that! Anywayz hope you enjoy, here it is! x
Chapter 35
John spent the night sat at Becki's bedside, his mind racing. He had literally laughed in Joanne's face when she told him but then as he thought about it he began to boil with anger. What the hell was wrong with that guy? What did he think was gonna be able to do? John would have loved nothing more than to go up there and beat the hell out of him some more, unfortunately that wouldn't happen, he wouldn't be able to get away with it again. Which was why he had no intention of going up there, because if he did there was no way in hell that he would be able to control his fury.
Officer White had also informed them that a detective would be coming in the morning to question Becki about what happened at her house as well as what occurred in England. That had John worried too, he still hadn't said anything to her about what he'd been told by Dr Anderson but he knew it would be a topic the detective would bring up. Joanne had said to say something before he got there, even if it was just to warn her that they were gonna ask about it but John just couldn't do it. Becki hadn't made any attempt to say anything to him about it so maybe it never happened. That's what he told himself at least!
"What you thinking about?" Becki interrupted Johns thoughts.
"Nothing, go back to sleep" John whispered
Becki looked closely at him, it was dark apart from the light from the hallway but Becki could see the dark circles under his eyes and how pale his skin looked, he was shattered.
"You should be the one sleeping"
"I'm fine" he replied rubbing his face
"No your not" she wasn't comfortable, well frankly, she was scared when he wasn't around and she knew that's why he stayed with her.
"Your gonna be the one in the hospital bed if you don't get some sleep" she murmured as she reached for his hand.
"I'm ok Bex, I'll sleep when you get out of here" he didn't mention that he only had three days left before he went back to work or gave up his belt.
"You need sleep now John, go and get some sleep"
"No! I'm not leaving especially not now" he froze, he hadn't meant to say that.
"Why not now? What's happened?"
John sighed, he couldn't keep it from her but he knew what was going to happen. Squeezing her hand he replied "Dean's awake"
"Oh" she looked away and stared at the ceiling.
"Bex?"
"When can I go home?" she asked still looking at the ceiling.
"I'll ask the doctor tomorrow"
"Thanks"
"Are you ok?" John moved and sat on the bed next to her.
"I just wanna get out of here and away from him John"
"I know baby" Becki shuddered, that's what Dean used to call her. John noticed,
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, Dean used to call me that, that's all"
"Call you what?" then he realised, "You mean baby?"
As Becki nodded he replied, "Sorry, I wont do it again"
"Its ok, it sounds different when you say it"
John smiled "How so?"
"It sounds….I dunno….nice"
"Well I'll not to say it too much, ok?" he said as he leant down and kissed her forehead.
"What's wrong with my lips?"
"Huh?"
"Are they broken?"
"What?" John had no clue what she was talking about.
"Well you kiss my head all the time!"
John understood and smiled slightly "There's nothing wrong with them" as an afterthought he added
"They're very beautiful actually" he was just afraid of hurting her anymore than she already was.
"Then kiss me stupid" Becki smiled as he leant down and captured her lips.
The next day John felt and looked pretty much like a zombie. He'd stayed up all night with Bex, after she knew Dean was awake she didn't feel like sleeping. She got even worse when he told her about the detective, telling John she didn't want to talk to anyone and freaking out until he managed to convince her that everything would be fine.
"Morning sunshine" Joanne said as she entered the waiting room, after looking at John she added
"Or maybe not!"
"Thanks" he replied, flopping into a chair.
"You need to get some sleep John"
"I will"
"When?"
"When Becki gets out of here"
Joanne sighed, both Matt and Jeff had offered to stay nights with Becki but John refused.
"When's that gonna be?"
"Don't know, I need to ask Dr Anderson when he's finished checking her over"
"You thought about work yet?" Joanne didn't want to push him but she'd been getting phone calls asking if he was going to come back or give up the belt, she hated the company sometimes.
John sighed, he didn't want to give up the belt but he wouldn't leave Becki.
"No I haven't thought about it"
"Matt and Jeff have both offered to stay with Bex, until she can travel at least"
"I'll think about it later Jo" John said standing up and heading back to Becki's room to speak to the doctor.
John stopped Dr Anderson as he left Becki's room.
"How can I help you?" the doctor asked
"I was just wondering when Bex can go home, she's not very comfortable being here now he's awake"
Dr Anderson nodded "I understand completely, she should be able to go home providing there will be someone to care for her at all times, she cant be left alone for a while"
'Looks like I'm giving up the belt' John thought
"Her job requires her to travel, when will she be able to do that?"
"You're a wrestler yes?"
"Yeah"
"So you travel constantly? Does Becki travel with you?"
"Yeah and yeah, that's her job"
"Ok well I'd say no constant travelling for at least six weeks and even then it should be kept to a minimum until her injuries have healed"
John sighed "Thanks doc"
"Not a problem I'll arrange for all her papers and she'll be able to leave tomorrow"
John nodded and watched the doctor leave before entering the room.
A few hours later John was pacing the waiting room as Joanne, Matt and Jeff watched. David had visited earlier to say goodbye to Bex, he was going back to England as per Becki's request. He had pulled John aside before he left, telling him to take care of Becki for him, doing the whole protective dad routine. Now though the detective had arrived and was talking to Becki, no one was particularly happy with him as he had refused to let anyone stay in the room with Becki and John knew she was terrified.
"John sit down your making me dizzy" Matt said as he watched John pace back and forth.
John was about to reply when someone came in and asked Joanne to come outside. John started pacing again.
"What's that about?" Jeff frowned watching Joanne through the glass.
"No idea" Matt replied
The room was silent other than the sound of John pacing until Joanne came back a few minutes later.
"What was that about?" Jeff asked as she slowly walked over to John.
John just growled and asked "What now?"
"It seems the cops want you to talk to Dean"
"What!" Matt and Jeff said simultaneously
"The lovely detective guy has suggested it"
"Well he can go to hell" John snapped
Joanne frowned and moved over to Jeff, like she was looking for protection,
"They want to record the conversation, apparently the more you can get him to say the less they will have to question Becki"
Joanne grabbed at Jeff's arm as John stormed past her and out of the room.
John was about to storm into Becki's room and confront the detective but he stopped when he saw a nurse rushing into the room and the detective walking out. All thoughts of killing the stupid detective went out of his mind and he ran to his girlfriends room.
The nurse had placed the oxygen mask over Becki's face and as John walked in the nurse was jabbing her with a needle.
"It's to calm her down" the nurse smiled as John walked over to the bed
"Thanks" he replied, sitting on the bed and grabbing Becki's hand.
"Make him go away" Becki sobbed
"Who?"
"That detective! He keeps asking me the same questions over and over, make him go away please" she was crying and gasping for air.
"Ssssh it's ok" he brushed hair from her face "Just calm down Bex it's ok"
He stayed with her until she finally calmed down, until she fell asleep. He knew what he had to do, seeing her so frightened and upset damn near broke his heart. Anything he could do to stop her from hurting anymore he'd do it.
Carefully he removed his hand from hers and walked out into the hallway to find Joanne talking to the detective.
Walking over to them he sighed and said to the detective "What do you want me to do?"
