Chapter 44

Becki woke to an empty bed. No John, no Lucas. There was a strong smell of coffee drifting throughout the house that was making Becki's mouth water. But unfortunately for her she couldn't move till someone came to help her. She could hear people chattering downstairs as the door to her room was slightly open but she had no idea how to get anyone's attention.

'Great I'm stuck here till someone remembers me' she thought to herself as she attempted to sit herself up. It proved too difficult and she winced in pain as her ribs protested against her movement. Being as stubborn as she was Becki gritted her teeth and ignored the pain as she forced herself to sit up. It took her a few minutes to get herself into a position that was comfortable and her ribs were killing her by this point. Luckily enough John had left his cell on the bedside table, Bex gingerly reached over for it. Once it was in her possession she sent a message to Joanne, knowing that Jo without fail would always have her cell phone on her person.

'Hey remember me!'

A minute later she heard Jo's cell beep and the unmistakable sound of Jo laughing. That was followed by what sounded like two people bickering and then footsteps bounding up the stairs.

Within seconds the door to her bedroom flew open "Morning sunshine! Or should I say afternoon?"

"Randy!" Bex squealed and held her arms out for a hug.

Randy didn't need a second invitation, he quickly and carefully jumped on the bed and hugged Becki.

"How did you sit yourself up?" he asked when he realised she was sitting up

"With difficulty! How's Mel?"

Randy laughed "Geez Bex, give me a minute! How about we start with how are you?"

"Fine! Now how's Mel?"

Sighing Randy replied "Getting better, once the painkillers started working she was back to herself! She couldn't string a sentence together when I was in the room"

Becki laughed "That's good!"

"Well I'd prefer it if she could actually have a conversation with me!" Randy pointed out

"It means she's ok!" Bex replied.

She was relieved that it sounded like Mel was okay, now all she needed to do was talk to her.

"Her injuries are still pretty bad Bex but she's not letting it affect her which is good"

"How long will she be in hospital?" Becki was still worried about Mel but she knew that if Mel was still acting like an idiot in front of Randy that she was gonna be fine.

"No idea! A while!"

Becki nodded, she didn't know what exactly Mel's injuries where but it didn't sound good. "She is okay right?"

"Yeah hun!" Randy rubbed her arm "don't worry okay?"

"Okay! Now take me to the coffee!"

For some reason when Randy carried Becki into kitchen John felt jealously stir up inside of him. It should be him doing that, it should be him that would be taking care of her but instead he was leaving the next day and it would be Randy taking care of her and he didn't like it.

Shaking his head he chastised himself 'Snap out of it!'

Jo noticed his action and frowned looking from John to the direction he was looking in. There was only one chair left free at the kitchen table, Randy had also noticed Johns actions so he walked over and sat Bex in Johns lap before taking the free seat next to Joanne.

Becki winced once more as she tried to get comfortable on John. "You ok?" John asked as he tried to help her.

"Yeah, my ribs are hurting at the moment"

"Well if someone hadn't sat themselves up!" Randy pointed out, Bex response was to stick her tongue out at him.

"Bex!" John tried to sound stern but failed hopelessly as Bex grinned mischievously at him and rested her head on his shoulder.

He wrapped his arms round her waist and kissed the top of her head as Randy laughed.

"Dude your so wrapped round her little finger!"

"Fine by me!" John replied as Bex snuggled up to him.

"Want a coffee kitten?" Mark who was pottering around in the kitchen asked.

Becki smiled, since the day she met him Mark had called her nothing but kitten, she had no idea why but she liked it!

"Yes please!"

As soon as Mark placed the cup on the table Becki grabbed it and literally drank it in one go as John and everyone else watched amused.

"I thought British people were tea drinkers?" Jeff quipped

"Yeah!" Randy added

"Thirsty?" John asked as Bex held the cup out to Mark for more.

"Haven't had coffee for days" she replied as Mark took the cup from her laughing.

"Oh god! Not another one that's going to be climbing the walls later!" Matt said glancing at his brother who had already drank endless amounts of coffee and was drumming on the table with his hands.

"What?" Jeff asked looking back at Matt

"Nothing!" Matt replied as Bex giggled at them and took her second cup of coffee from Mark.

"So what are we doing today?" Randy asked, changing the subject before Matt and Jeff started bickering.

"Dunno! What'd you wanna do?" Jo replied

"Anything! Bex how bout you?"

"Hmmm, I'm quite happy doing what I'm doin" she replied as she rested her head back on Johns shoulder.

"Ugh! Who's got the sick bucket?" Randy replied and laughed when both John and Becki flipped him off without even looking at him.

"Okay well I think we've established that they are staying here!" Jo observed "So how about the rest of us go out and find something to do?"

"Sure" they all replied

"Take the dog with you!" John took a swig of his coffee as hewatched Lucas try to jump on Bex.

"Don't worry boy, he'll be gone tomorrow!" Matt said to Lucas as he picked him up and carried him out of the room followed Randy, Jeff, Jo and Mark.

"Later!" Randy yelled as they left.

"What time do you leave?" Bex asked an hour later when she was curled up on the sofa in Johns arms.

"Around midday! But I don't have to go ya know?"

"Yes you do!"

John sighed "It was worth a try!"

"Try all ya want! You're going" Bex replied as she toyed with Johns hand.

"You sure you're gonna be alright?"

"Now who's worrying?" Bex replied smiling

"I'm serious!"

"John! Randy, Matt and Jeff are all gonna be here! I'll be fine! Besides it wont be that long till I can travel with you again"

"Any amount of time your not with me is too long!" he pouted

"Aww! I'll miss you too"

"You better!" John replied as he wrapped both his arms round her waist and hugged her back to him, careful not to hurt her ribs.

"I will" she whispered, leaning her head back against his shoulder. She didn't want to be away from him at all really but there was no way she would let him give up his title.

John knew she was upset about him leaving and that she was hiding it because she didn't want him to give up his championship. That was the only reason he was going, because she wanted him to!

They sat in a comfortable silence watching TV for a while before Bex broke the silence.

"Do they all know what Dean did?"

"Just Joanne! Why? Do you want them to know?"

Becki shrugged "I guess Matt, Jeff and Randy should know! They're the ones that are gonna be with me."

That sent another wave of jealously through John, he should be the one with her, no one else should have to know!

"Or just Randy! I guess Matt and Jeff don't really need to know" she continued, unaware that John was now raging with jealously and he had no idea why.

What was it that was bugging him about Bex being with Randy? Matt and Jeff didn't bother him, it was just Randy! He didn't want them getting close! In fact he was beginning to feel like he didn't want Randy anywhere near Becki! But why?

John frowned and tried to stop thinking about it. Randy was his best friend he had no reason to be feeling the way he did.

"Okay, I'll tell him later, if that's what you want"

"You ok?" Bex noticed an edge in his voice.

"Yeah" John kissed her cheek, he had no choice, he needed to speak to Randy.

But it wouldn't just be about Dean!
