Chapter 36
John felt like he should be in a movie! He was stood in the hallway near Deans room, Joanne was stood beside him listening to Detective Woodworth lecture John.
"Just remember, let him talk, if he thinks your trying to get anything extra out of him he'll realise what's going on"
John nodded as a cop fiddled with the 'wire' they had attached to him.
'Can I just punch him instead?' he thought to himself as the detective continued to instruct him on what to do.
"And most importantly, no matter what he says, hold your temper! He will want to make you mad"
"Do you know him well?" John smirked.
Joanne slapped him on the arm as Detective Woodworth looked at John unimpressed.
"This is no joke son!"
John would have liked nothing better than to punch this guy too, but he was doing this for Becki so he kept reminding himself of that.
"I know that! Its my girl lying in the hospital bed downstairs remember!"
"John, shut up" Joanne whispered
"Yes I'm perfectly aware of that" the detective replied before moving over to speak to the officers outside Deans room.
Sighing John muttered "I hate that guy"
"Yeah I know, so do I! Just think of Bex" Joanne replied
That's all John was doing, she had no idea what he was about to do and he never intended to tell her.
'So much for no more hiding stuff' he thought.
"Ok Mr Cena, everything's ready" the detective said as he came back over.
"Remember no punching" Joanne whispered to John before he headed over to Deans room.
"Where's John gone now?" Becki asked Matt who was sat in the chair on her left.
"Gone for coffee" he lied
"Hmmm, that's the only place he seems to go" Becki was starting to wonder if they were telling her the truth.
"It's the only thing that keeps him awake" Matt wasn't lying there, he wasn't sure John had slept at all since Bex was admitted.
"He needs to sleep instead of guzzling coffee"
"Yeah I know, we've all tried to get him to go home but he refuses to leave you" Matt smiled
"Drag him away, he needs to sleep" Becki didn't really want him to be away from her but his health was more important to her.
"He has a lot on his mind with the belt and stuff" Matt mused, then realised what he said.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing" Matt was silently kicking himself, John was going to kill him for letting that slip.
"Matt, tell me what you meant"
Sighing Matt replied "John is gonna kill me"
"Well if I was able I'd kill you first, but he'll kill you anyway cos if you don't tell me I'll nag him to tell me" Becki started to cough.
Matt grabbed the oxygen mask but Becki took it from him and placed it over her face herself,
"I know the drill" she mumbled.
"Ok, I'm not telling you anything till your alright"
"You'll have a long wait! Just tell me" Becki replied slowly whilst trying to control her breathing.
"Fine, they gave John a week off to be with you but if he wants any longer he has to give up the championship"
"He cant do that!" Becki coughed,
"He's already said he will but Jo told him to think about it"
Becki was stunned, she knew how much that belt meant to John and there was no way she was letting him give it up. Matt continued
"Both Jeff and I have offered to stay with you until you can travel again. John hasn't given any reply to that"
"Then I'll answer for him, he's not giving up that belt, so can I stay with you?"
"Of course you can hun!" Matt grinned
"That's sorted then" Becki coughed once again
"Yeah it is! Don't talk anymore ok"
Becki nodded as the room fell silent.
John had only stepped into the room when he wanted to kill him. Dean had the nerve to smirk at him!
"So you decided to visit?" it seemed Dean wasn't going have as much trouble talking as Becki, if John could have his way he would have fixed that right there.
"What do you want?" John answered, his voice was strained, somehow he didn't think he would be able to hold his temper. Just looking at him was driving him insane.
He was only hooked up to one machine now, the one monitoring his heart rate. John got some comfort seeing his injuries. He had been right about one leg being broken and the other one was bandaged heavily along with his head. That along with all the cuts and bruises that covered his body wasn't enough to calm Johns urge to kill him however.
"Please, take a seat"
John clenched his fists before slowly walking over to the chair beside the bed, glaring at Dean he sat down.
"That's better" Dean smirked
John held onto the edge of the chair, he was gripping it so tight his knuckles were turning white as Dean continued, "First thing I wanted to ask is how is Bex doing?"
"That would be none of your business" John slowly forced the words out as his grip on the chair tightened even more.
"Well it is really seeing as I put her here, I take it she is in this hospital"
"No she's not" John snapped
"Shame! I would have liked to visit her" the chair John was gripping was plastic and Dean blanched as part of it snapped off in Johns hand.
"You seem a little tense" Dean smirked, he was more confident in goading John because he knew cops were outside, if he tried to hurt him all he had to do was yell and they'd come running. Which was what Dean wanted, get John arrested then it would be easier to get to Bex.
"I'll ask you again….What do you want?"
"You know this isn't over?"
"Somehow I think it is" John angrily replied
Dean actually laughed and John had to force himself to stay in the chair "Maybe Bex was telling the truth when she said she'd told you nothing. Just because you put me in here doesn't mean nothing else can happen to Bex or have you forgotten that I have people that work for me?"
Truthfully John had forgotten but he'd be damned if he'd let Dean see that he had got to him.
"But there is a way you can stop that" Dean added
John's temper was starting to get the better of him, it was taking all of his will power to stop him from jumping up and beating the hell out of Dean all over again.
"Not very talkative are you? How about I tell you about the time I spent with Becki in that cabin? Would that help you talk?"
John jumped out of the chair, he stopped just short of lunging for Dean. Instead he leant towards him and snarled "I know what you did to her! If you try and touch her again you'll never leave a hospital"
Dean smiled, he'd found his way to get at John! "But I like to touch her"
"Shut your mouth" John warned
"What did you think you were the first person to touch her? Believe me you were far from the first"
John gripped the edge of the bed, he couldn't take much more of this.
"I told you….shut… your…mouth"
Dean didn't like the look in Johns eyes, primal, like he wanted to tear him apart.
"Fine, I'll get to the point! You know what Bex found out about me, that it was me that ordered that guy dead, so unless you want her to end up the same way you need to do one thing for me" when John didn't reply he continued "Leave her"
It was Johns turn to laugh "Somehow I don't think that's gonna happen"
"Thought you may say that but somehow I think you will"
John rolled his eyes "Oh really and why's that?"
Dean smirked triumphantly "Because every time you look at her you'll see me!"
John thought about it and realised Dean was right, when he looked at Becki in that hospital bed, so frightened and hurt he'd think of Dean, how long could he deal with that? Would he ever be able to see her without thinking of him and what he had done?
"Hell you never know she could even be pregnant and then you'll have a little me to look at!"
Johns emotions and temper got the better of him then, he grabbed Dean roughly by his bandaged arm, Dean winced but held his smirk as John paused. Sighing in frustration John let him go and stormed out of the room as Dean laughed.
Joanne found John sat outside the hospital, he was holding his head in his hands and when she got closer she could tell he'd been crying.
"What happened?" she asked as she sat beside him on a bench. All she had seen was John charge out of Deans room, rip the 'wire' off and throw it at Detective Woodworth before storming out of the hospital.
"Didn't let you listen then?" John asked without looking up.
"No, so tell me"
"He wants me to leave Becki"
"That's ridiculous! Why does he think you'd even consider that?"
John sighed as he stared at the floor "Because every time I look at her I'll see him"
Joanne could sense from his tone of voice that he actually believed what he was saying.
"Did he say that or have you come to that conclusion yourself?"
John didn't reply, he just swatted away another tear that fell from his eye. He had no idea how to explain what he was feeling at that point. He certainly didn't want to think about Deans last comment.
"I'll take your silence as he said it and you believe it" the only reply she got was a shrug.
"John, you really need to find out exactly what happened"
"We know what happened" John snapped
Joanne sighed "No you don't"
"What!" John finally looked at her.
Taking his hand Joanne replied "You cant believe what Dean tells you, it seems to me he'd say anything to get to you. You need to ask Becki what happened"
"No!"
"So what are you gonna do? Leave her?"
"No" John whispered, he felt like he had no energy left for any of this.
"Your letting this eat away at you but you don't even know what actually happened"
"What is it with you and always being right?" John sighed
"it's a gift" Joanne grinned and John couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Thanks"
"Done nothing" she shrugged
"You're an angel and you know it" John replied as he stood up "I guess I best get back to Bex, I'd have drank about six coffees by now and Matt's a useless liar"
"He doesn't need to say anything, there is no way Bex will believe you've been drinking coffee all this time, just talk to her John"
"Yes mom!" John mumbled as he made his way back inside.
Matt was stood outside Becki's room when John got back.
"What's goin on?" he asked as he approached
"Docs checking her over"
"Why? He did that earlier"
"Don't know"
Dr Anderson walked out of the room and smiled at John "You can take her home"
"What, now?"
"Yes" the doctor chuckled at the look on Johns face.
"Really?" he asked incredulously
"Really, she'll have to come in for regular check ups but otherwise she's better off at home"
"Thanks, I'll have her outta here as soon as I can" John had to say he was relieved, the further he could get her away from Dean the better.
"Take as long you need" the doctor said before walking away.
"I'll go tell Jo and Jeff" Matt said
"Okay" John replied as he entered Bex room.
"Where've you been?" Becki asked as John walked in
"Drinking coffee, didn't Matt tell you?" John replied as he sat on the bed
"That's what he told me, not that I believe him, or you for that matter" Becki knew he hadn't been drinking coffee, plus his eyes were red, coffee didn't do that!
"So what have you been doing really?"
"Preparing to take you home" John lied, he knew from the look on her face that she could tell he was still lying.
"I can go home?" she knew he was lying but decided to wait till later to try and get it out of him.
"Yes you can" John smiled
"I don't wanna"
"What!"
"I don't think I can go back in the house yet" Becki replied
"That's ok we can stay with Matt"
"He won't mind?"
"Of course not, he's offered"
"When can I go?"
"Soon as you like" John smiled as Becki grinned and said
"Ok lets go, can you help me change into the clothes Jo brought me please?"
"Sure"
John located the clothes and brought them over to her, he helped her get dressed but as he did seeing all the bruises on her body made him think of Dean and his conversation with him flooded his thoughts. Another tear escaped but this time Becki caught it.
"What's wrong?" she asked as she reached out and wiped it away.
John sighed, he didn't want to know, yet he did. Joanne was right, he needed to find out otherwise it would eat away at him.
"The detective is gonna want to talk to you again"
"Thought so much, but that's not what's wrong is it?" she watched as he shook his head.
"No! Bex I need to know what happened"
"What?" she knew what he meant but wanted him to confirm it.
"I need to know what exactly Dean did to you"
