Chapter 43
When John, Becki and Joanne arrived at the house in Miami, Mark was waiting for them. As it was in the very early hours of the morning they had managed to get through the airport pretty quickly as there wasn't very many people around.
As Jo unloaded the rental car John attempted to set up Bex wheelchair. It was easy enough to put it down but setting it up was proving difficult.
Mark chuckled as he approached John who was muttering to himself whilst trying to pull a lever on the chair.
"Your making that look complicated!" he pointed out
John gave up then and handing the offending chair to Mark said "You try then!"
Mark took the chair from him and within seconds the chair was restored to its original state. Joanne and Mark laughed as John stared at the chair with an incredulous look on his face.
"I hate that thing" he muttered as he turned to open the car door for Becki who was trying her hardest not to laugh at him.
"What?" he asked as Bex smirked at him
"Nothing" she replied sweetly as Joanne and Mark continued to laugh at John.
"Hmmm" John replied as he carefully helped her out of the car and into the wheelchair.
Mark had forgot to apply the brakes to the chair so as Becki sat in the chair with Johns help, the chair rolled backwards slightly. As John still had hold of Becki he ended up practically falling on top of her as it rolled backwards. Becki squealed and started laughing as John found his footing and grabbed the arms of the chair to stop it rolling any further.
Joanne and Mark who were talking to each other whilst grabbing all the bags turned around when Becki squealed.
"What happened?" Jo asked
John was still leant over the chair and was nose to nose with Bex as she continued laughing. He couldn't help but smile at her, it was good to see her laughing, even if it was at him. He kissed the tip of her nose before adopting an annoyed look and turning to face them.
Becki squeaked again as her chair rolled once more.
"Shit!" John muttered as he quickly grabbed the chair and applied the brake.
"Sorry baby!" he whispered before turning back to Joanne and Mark who were smirking.
"Mr wheelchair expert in all his wisdom there" John pointed at Mark before continuing "forget to put the brake on so I nearly joined Bex in the chair!"
Mark just laughed and made his way towards his secret house.
"You sure you can manage the big bad wheelchair?" Jo asked like she was speaking to a child before following Mark inside.
That set off a fresh burst of laughter from Bex as John pulled a face at Joanne's back.
"And why are you laughing?" John turned back to his girlfriend and smiled
"Imagine, the WWE champion foiled by a wheelchair!"
"Smartass!" John laughed and shook his head as Becki continued to giggle.
He checked that Mark and Joanne had got everything before he walked behind the wheelchair.
"You got everything?" he asked Bex
"Yep" she replied
"Ok let's roll!" John pushed the chair and almost toppled over when it didn't budge. Becki burst out laughing again, she tilted her head back trying not to laugh.
"Don't say it!" John warned as he leant down and took the brake off.
"If only your fans could see you now!" Becki giggled as he wheeled her into the house.
Once inside the house Mark showed them round quickly before John and Becki went to bed. Both Mark and Joanne decided to stay up and wait for Matt and Jeff who would be arriving in a few hours.
"He did what?"
"Went into his hospital room and re broke his leg!"
Mark laughed "Now that's something I wish I could have seen"
"Honestly I'm quite freaked out by it!" Jo confessed
"Why?" Mark asked as he handed her a cup of coffee and led her out of the kitchen into the living room.
"I don't know! I mean, I understand why he'd do something like that but there's something in his tone that makes me think he'd do worse"
"He probably would" Mark stated as he sat down
"Really?" Jo asked as she sat beside him.
Mark nodded as he took a swig of his coffee "I would!"
"Yeah I know you would. But you're not John"
"No but in a situation like this I don't think it matters who it is! I would say providing this Dean stays away from Bex then you don't need to worry. I don't think John will go looking for him if he doesn't start something first"
Joanne didn't understand him "But Deans already started something!"
Mark smiled "Yes and John finished it! So unless he does something else John wont either"
"Why do I have a bad feeling about all of this?" Joanne knew it wasn't over yet.
"Because you're a smart girl" Mark replied, he knew also that it wasn't over.
They sat in silence for a few minutes, both thinking to themselves.
"Poor Bex" Jo mumbled as she finished her coffee
"She'll be fine here, you covered all your tracks so even if he has someone following her they can't trace her to here"
"We hope!"
"They can't! All anyone can find out is that Bex is staying at my house which everyone thinks is in Texas. So if someone is following her they'll show up there and I'll break their necks if they do!"
Joanne grinned, she didn't doubt for a minute that he would "Ok I'll quit worrying for now"
"That's my girl!" Mark took her cup and dumped it on the floor "Wanna watch a movie while we wait for the terrible twosome?"
"Sure why not"
Joanne forced Mark to sit through some girly romantic rubbish and he was thoroughly bored when the movie ended.
"Next time I'm choosing the movie" he announced as they heard a car pull up outside.
No sooner had the car arrived than doors started slamming and voices started bickering with one another.
"They've arrived!" Joanne laughed as she made her way outside with Mark.
"Will you two shut up or are you trying to wake the whole of Miami?" Jo said as stepped outside.
"Its not my fault he cant read directions" Jeff muttered
"Its not my fault you cant drive" Matt shot back
"I see the bump on the head didn't effect you much" Mark observed
"Made him a bit more stupid if that's possible" Jeff replied
"Do you want me to beat the hell out of you?" Matt snapped
Jeff turned his back on his brother, mimicking him as grabbed their bags. When he turned back around Matt was still glaring at him as Joanne and Mark sniggered. Anyone who didn't know them would think they hated each other but in truth they'd be lost without each other. It was just being in confined spaces with each other that drove them crazy! Plus life would be boring if they didn't bicker with each other.
Jeff glared back at his brother before bouncing past him and towards the house.
"You brought a dog?" Mark stated as he watched Matt take Lucas out of the car
"I couldn't leave him! Dads busy and I'm not giving him to Amy! Plus Bex loves him, you don't mind do ya?"
"No! Just wasn't expecting to see a dog" Mark replied before heading back in the house.
"How's the head?" Jo asked as she walked into the house with Matt.
"Got one hell of a headache but I think that's more to do with Jeff than anything else" Matt replied with a smile.
"Seriously Matt, are you ok? You did get hit with a rock!"
"My head hurts but I'll be fine, stop worrying Jo" Matt let Lucas down once they were inside and he ran off after Jeff who was bounding round the house investigating his new temporary home.
"How can he be so energetic at this time of the morning?" Mark asked as he flopped down on the sofa.
"Too much coffee" Matt replied falling onto another sofa with Joanne.
Two minutes later they heard a small crash, Matt rolled his eyes as Joanne stood up to go and investigate.
"Wasn't me" Jeff shouted as Joanne followed the din.
Jeff was telling the truth, it wasn't him. Lucas had got tangled in a telephone cable in another room and had managed to knock over a small stand. No damage had been done and Jeff had already put everything back as it was when Joanne arrived.
"What'd you do?"
"Wasn't me! Lucas knocked that stand over, but it's ok now I've put everything back"
"okay, come and sit down before you wake John and Bex up"
It was too late, the brothers arrival had dragged both John and Becki from their sleep. They'd been listening to the whole fracas downstairs since the first car door slammed.
Becki giggled as Jeff shouted "Wasn't me"
John snorted and replied "Yeah right!"
"Maybe it wasn't" Becki replied as she stared at the ceiling, she had to sleep on her back because of her ribs which drove her nuts as she preferred to sleep on her side.
"Now you don't really believe what you just said do you?" John smirked, he was laying on his side facing Bex.
Becki grinned "No not really"
"Want me to go tell them to shut up so you can get back to sleep?" he asked as he brushed some hair out of her face.
"No its ok"
"Sure?"
"Yeah but you can tell them to shut up so you can go back to sleep"
"I'm fine"
"Uh huh"
"What? I am"
"John how many hours have you slept in the past week?" Bex asked as she looked over to him.
"I don't know" he shrugged
"Not enough that's how many!"
"I never get enough sleep, that's part of my job"
"yeah well you've had less in the past week!"
"Stop worrying about me, your worse than Joanne! I'm fine" John smiled and kissed her gently.
"I'm allowed to worry, that's part of my job!"
"No it ain't" John replied as they heard scratching at their door.
"What's that?" Bex asked
John frowned, he hopped out of the bed, walked over to the door and opened it. He groaned as Lucas bounded into the room and jumped straight onto the bed, he plodded happily over to Becki and started trying to lick her face.
"Lucas! What you doing here?" Becki giggled as the cute little dog curled up at her side.
"Remind me to kill Matt later" John grumbled as he got back into the bed, Lucas wriggled around which caused John to move further away from Becki.
Becki laughed as John scowled at the dog and muttered "this is ridiculous"
"Aww poor baby! Foiled by a wheelchair and now outdone by a dog" Bex teased.
"Yeah so gonna kill Matt later!" John said as Becki laughed and played with Lucas.
