Taking Chances pt.2
John
(Disclaimer: I do not own any characters or alien races in this story but it would be so cool if I did. They belong to Pittacus Lore or James Frey and Jobie Hughes)
I don't know why I kissed Six. Well I know why but more like why I kissed her in the lobby in front of everyone. But I did. I couldn't help it. I was in love with her. I just wanted to take a chance. Life is about taking chances after all.
She smiled at me.
"Well you obviously listened to Ella." She said with a small smile.
"Yeah, I can't believe I took dating advice from an eleven year old." I said. Six looked at me.
"John, what about Sarah. She's standing right there." Six said. I knew that but I had no idea what to do. I looked over to where Sarah was standing but she was gone. I heard her going outside and I followed her. She was sitting on a bench and she was crying. I slid down next to her.
"Sarah?" I asked her softly. She turned to look at me and anger flicked across her face.
"I don't want to talk to you John." She said.
"At least let me explain. Please." I said.
"John I don't want to hear it." She said. She was so stubborn when she wanted to be.
"Listen please!" I begged her. She just shook her head.
"I know you don't want to know but I have to tell you." I said then I continued.
"I never wanted to hurt you. Trust me. I will always have a place in my heart for you but when I'm with Six I can't think strait. I need her. I was going to tell you before but I couldn't. I hope you can forgive me. If I were you I wouldn't forgive me either. But I'm still asking. I'm really sorry." I said. Sarah just looked at me. I kissed her on the cheek and headed back in side.
When I got back Six walked over to me.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, I just hope that Sarah will be okay." I said. She cupped my face in her hand.
"I'm sure she'll be fine." Six said. I smiled a little. Then I wrapped my arm around her waist. Everyone else was standing around and making small talk.
"Well look at this. The lovebirds return." Nine said. I opened my mouth to reply but Six beat me to it.
"Oh fuck off." She said. Nine laughed.
"Well should we get going?" Marina asked. Six shrugged.
"Nine maybe you should go check on Sarah." I suggested. He looked at me.
"Didn't you just do that." He said
"Yeah, but I don't think it did much help. She hates me right now." I said. He shrugged as if to say It's all on you bro.
"Fine." He said as he went outside. I hoped he would make Sarah feel better seeing as I probably did nothing.
"Do you think he'll make things better or worse?" I asked Six. She shrugged
"With Nine you never know." She said.
"I agree." I said. Ella looked at us smugly
Told you, you should have kissed her she said to me telepathically
Oh come off it I would have kissed her eventually I replied
In what twenty years. You should thank me. She said seriously.
Fine thanks but I just took relationship advice from an eleven year old. I told her. She was about to reply when Six cleared her throat. I looked at her.
"You guys mind not having a telepathic conversation." She said.
"Sorry." Ella and I said in unison. Ella turned around and started playing with BK. I looked at Six apologetically. She smiled and kissed my cheek.
"Make sure it doesn't happen again." She said.
"It won't. I-" I started to say. Then Nine walked in with Sarah who still looked sad but happier than a few minutes ago.
"Well he actually did it. What a surprise." Six said. We all laughed except for Nine.
"I can do other things than annoy the hell out of you." He said defensively.
"That's a surprise to be honest." Eight said.
"Did he annoy the hell out of you last night?" I asked Eight. He nodded.
"Let's get going." Nine said.
"Do we all have to squeeze in the back again?" Marina asked desperately.
"No. I got another car. John can you drive?" he asked me.
"Sure." I replied.
"Great." Nine said.
"Who's in the car with John?" Eight asked.
"You, Six and Ella." He said. That meant that Marina and Sarah would be in his car.
"Cool." Eight said. Everyone grabbed their bags and we headed outside after paying the receptionist.
I climbed into the driver's seat and Six was in shotgun.
"You know Six you would look really badass on a motorcycle." I said. She looked at me.
"Really John?" she asked me sounding slightly amused.
"Yeah, like a cherry red Ducati 848 or something like that." I told her.
"I think I'll stick to a car John." She said. I smiled
"I was just saying." I told her. She sighed and muttered something under her breath that I didn't hear. Nine was pulling out of the parking lot. I started the car and followed him out.
"Can you put music on?" Ella asked me.
"Sure." I said. I clicked on the radio and all of a sudden Justin Bieber's As Long As You Love Me was blasting through the speakers. Six threw he hand over her ears.
"Change the damn station!" she exclaimed. I clicked another button and some other pop song was playing.
"Thank god!." She said with a sigh.
"Why don't you like Justin Bieber?" Ella asked. Six laughed and brushed a strand of her raven hair out of her face.
"I have my reasons." She said and left it at that. I smiled.
"Ella, Six actually really likes Justin Bieber or whatever his name is. She has a secret crush on him." I told her. Her face lit up.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yep." I said with a laugh.
"Shut up John, I do not have a crush on Justin Bieber. I'm dating you." She said.
"I am aware that you are dating me but you wish you were dating him." I said. That got me a punch in the arm.
"That's not true." She said.
"Fine I give up." I said.
"Good." She said. I turned my eyes back on the road. We drove in silence for a few minutes listening to random music. Then Nine veered off onto some dirt road. I followed him and the car bounced around a little.
We kept driving for about five minutes until we pulled up to a shabby old house. Nine pulled over and so did I. I got out of the car and walked up to Nine.
"Where are we?" I asked him.
"My Cêpan, Sandor, told me about this place. We can crash her for the night." He said confidently but he faltered a little at his Cêpan's name.
"Why not keep going?" Six asked from behind me.
"We have less of a chance of being found here." Nine said. I shrugged my shoulders.
"What about Sarah?" I asked.
"What about her?" Nine asked me back.
"She can't stay here. We have to send her some place safe." I said.
"I can take her to Paradise." Eight said. I looked at him gratefully.
"Come back within the hour." Nine said. Eight opened the door and grabbed Sarah's hand. He closed his eyes in concentration and they were gone. We headed inside the house and looked around. The wallpaper was peeling and the whole place smelled faintly of tobacco.
"Nice place." I said to Nine sarcastically.
"Hey it'll do for the night." Nine said. I looked around a little more and found that the house had five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
"It's bigger than I expected." I told Nine. He smiled.
"I told you it was okay for the night." He said. Then there was a crash down stairs. Nine and I rushed down the stairs to see what was going on. We saw Eight laying on the floor. Six and Marina were kneeling next to him.
"What happened?" I asked. Six looked at me.
" I don't know he just came back and collapsed." She said. I kneeled down next to her and Marina.
"Have you tried to heal him yet?" I asked Marina.
"Of course we have!" Six exclaimed. I put a hand on his shoulder and felt the icy feeling crawl through my veins. Slowly Eight began to breath normally and he opened his eyes. After a few more seconds he was perfectly all right but I was drained of energy.
"Are you okay John?" Six asked. I nodded.
"I just need rest." I told her. I got up and sat down on the couch. Within seconds after I closed my eyes I found myself asleep.
When I woke up early morning light was streaming through the curtains. I blinked a couple of times to get the sleep out of my eyes.
"Morning sleepy head." I Heard Six say. I yawned and got up off the couch.
"Mornin'" I said. I walked over to her and kissed her.
"So what's for breakfast?" I asked her.
"Always thinking about food huh." She said. I shrugged.
"You know me." I said. She laughed softly. I hugged her to my chest.
"Six." I said.
"Yeah." She replied.
"I love you." I whispered in her ear.
"I love you too." She said back. I smiled and then kissed her passionately.
-AN: So the arc didn't really end the way I originally wanted it to but I thought it was nice that it ended with them saying I love you to each other for the first time. I would like to say thanks to all of you who have read and reviewed the first chapter of my fanfic. It means a lot. So I'll try and update soon. Until next time- Despidida out
