Chapter Six

"Im just saying that I always keep a spare set of keys under the car, you didnt have to blow a hole into the trunk" John said with a shake of his head as he sat on the edge of the motel room bed..

"and I cant believe your still going on about that, I did save your ass" natalie huffed as she grabbed a few more towels.."I dont know why you didnt just let me take you to the hospital" she huffed..

"its just a scratch" John said as he touched his shoulder and then winced..

Natalie rolled her eyes.."yeah ok tough guy, lets see how you feel when your riddled with an infection"

"its a scratch" he said again..

"Yeah and its bleeding like hell" she grabbed at his arm as he winced.."a scratch huh?"

"well you could be a little more gentle about it" he groaned as she pulled on his shirt..

"we dont have time for gentle, I want to get back to the house" she said as he smiled some...

"You know if you wanted to get my shirt off" he smirked..

"oh just get over it John" she rolled her eyes as she pulled his shirt off of him, she was a bit surprised at the shape he was in even though she tried not to notice, but my god the man had a body.."Your lucky that thing didnt come back" she said as she inspected his arm..

"oh im sure it probably did, the salt only deters it for a little bit" John said as he groaned and she wiped against the wound on his shoulder..

"yeah well then maybe we should go back" she said anxiously even though no part of her wanted to go near that town ever again..

"somethings are better left to fate" he said as she poked at his wound and he winced again.."ouch, anyone ever tell you that you have no bedside manner"

"Your lucky you dont need stitches" she said as she got up now and he looked at his shoulder, she had cleaned it up pretty good.."I dont feel good leaving those people there"

"the same people who were going to have us fed to that thing on a platter" he said sarcastically...

"yeah well they were just trying to save themselves" she began..

"well they should of thought about that before they made a deal with the devil" he went to stand up now but wobbiled some..

"You need to sit, you lost a lot of blood" she said as she grabbed his arm and steadied him..

"You actually seem a bit concerned" he smiled..

"Yeah well it wouldnt look good on my part to leave you for dead" she said sarcastically..Their eyes locked for a moment as she stood there, her hand on his arm.."theres a diner across the road, im gonna grab something to eat" she said as she moved from him quickly...

"anything but a burger" he smirked as he sat back down and she rolled her eyes and then she left quickly...

By the time natalie got back with a bag full of sandwiches and an up to date phone call to Steele, she found John fast asleep on the bed, just about the way she left him. He was shirtless and looking just as vulnerable as anything and she sighed as she put the food down. It was nearly midnight now and with the night upon them she had told Steele that they would head back first thing In the morning.

She sat over on a chair as she looked at John, so maybe when he wasnt talking a big game he was sort of cute laying there she thought to herself as she kicked her legs up on the bed and leaned her head back, today was one hell of a day and they were both pretty darn lucky to make it out alive..

Naalie awoke abruptly to the sound of shouting in the dark room, it took her exactlly five seconds to realize where it was coming from as she looked at John who was literally tossing back and forth as he yelled out, seemingly in pain. Her heart was racing so fast as she jumped up, not knowing what to expect, had something gotten into their room, was some unseen force attacking him, she didnt know as she frantically tried to find the lamp..

"get away from him, get away" he yelled out as he writhed on the bed as she shown the light into the room, no one was there, just John alone with his own personal demons..

"John, your dreaming, wake up" she said as she neared him and he continued writhing and yelling.."John..wake up" she began to get louder as she grabbed his arm and shook him slightly but he didnt budge.."John!" she yelled again but this time he grabbed her as the wind got knocked out of her and they both crashed to the ground and his eyes finally opened and met hers, he looked disoriented and confused as he laid there on top of her and the fear reflecting back at him stunned him for a moment..

"jesus are you ok" he said to her as his nightmares vanished and he looked down at her..

"are you? What the hell" she said in shock as she looked at him somewhat breathless from the shock of it all..

"shit" he said as he began to sit up now and so did she, he ran a hand through his hair.."are you sure your ok"

"Im fine" she said even though she was fairly certain she was anything but..

"what time is it" he said as he began to stumble to his feet, this is why he hated sleeping, the nightmares never got any better and to make matters worse now she could see just how crazy he was..

"i think maybe you should sit down" she said with concern as he looked at her..

"Im fine ok" he shook his head quick and then looked at the clock, it was nearly 5 am..

"Listen we all get nightmares ok" she began as she stood up now but he just kept walking to the bathroom, he closed the door without saying anything else to her and she just sighed, they all really were just a bunch of fucked up people..

John stayed to himself as they made the hour and change ride back to the cabin, it bothered Natalie more then she wanted to admit, so what if he had a nightmare, they all got them? She finally decided to break the ice as they neared the homestead..

"John I um" she began as he looked at her now, it was the first time he had actually looked at her since they had left the motel..

"dont ok, dont look at me like that" he said with anger building..

Natalie sighed.."Its not a big deal ok, so you had a nightmare" she began..

"then just drop it ok" he snapped at her, he honestly didnt want this dragging into the cabin, he couldnt let that happen.."dont you have some music or something else to occupy yourself with, were almost there" he quickly looked back out at the road..

"You know just because your human" she began as he slammed on the brakes now, shocking her..

"Listen you know nothing about me ok, nothing at all so dont try and analyze me" he snapped at her and she blinked in shock.."you really should just do what you do best and thats pretend to be something your not"

"You dont have to be an asshole" she snapped at him, getting angrier by the second..

"why the hell not, im good at that, arent i" he yelled at her.."You could barely keep yourself together back in that basement, honestly I dont even know why your trying to help cause the only thing you know how to do is shake your ass" he snapped bitterly..

"wow, you know what, forget you" she snapped at him as she quickly opened up the car door and got out..

"oh cut the shit natalie and get in the car" he called out to her but she kept walking as she flipped him the bird.."Im not going to go chasing after you" he yelled out but she ignored him and he huffed as he got out of the car and slammed the door shut.."why do you have to be like this!" he yelled as she stopped now..

"You know what, why dont you go to hell John" she yelled at him as she walked some more, a car began coming down the road towards her as John stood there and seconds later Cris was pulling up..

"Nat? Nat what the hell are you doing" Cris said as he pulled up next to her..

"can you just drive me back to the cabin please" she said as she got around to the passenger side door..

"did he do something" Cris began to get loud as John stood there..

"Can you just drive, please" Natalie snapped again as she got into the car..

"are you ok" Cris asked with concern..

"Im fine, just bring me back to the cabin" she said as she glared at John and then Cris was quickly pulling a uturn as he spun down the road, John got back into his car and took off as well..

"if he did something" Cris continued as he drove..

"just drop it cris, im tired, im hungry" she huffed as she kept her arms crossed over her chest and he finally shut up as he drove and she sat sulking as he drove..

Mikey sat waiting patiently and more then a bit concerned about where his brother was. He hated that John had gone off without him and to make matters worse natalie had come back without him and she looked pissed as hell and even though he asked she wouldnt tell him what had happened, all she would let him know Is that his asshole brother was alright, her words to be exact.. Now he knew that John had issues at times with expressing his feelings, he was never quite good with it and he was never quite good with women in general, but atleast he was ok, somewhat atleast but he still wasnt back yet..

"Your worried about your brother" Marcie said as she came over to Mikey who was sitting on the front porch like he had been doing for the last two hours..

"i just know him, he's not good with conflict" Mikey said honestly..

"Im sure he is fine, he's grown Mikey" Marcie said with a soft smile..

"i know its just he doesnt really deal with things well" Mikey said with a shake of his head.. Something had happened with John and Natalie, he didnt know what but he knew it was big, something real big to keep John away..

"well im sure he will be back soon, some of us are heading over to the lake" she began nervously as he looked at her now..

"i think i'll just wait here" Mikey said honestly..

"Ok but if you change your mind" she smiled as she walked off and he sat there, yes John was a grown up but still, it was his brother and he was the only one he had in this world..

John sat back at the local bar he had found right outside of town, he was on his seventh beer and feeling pretty damn good at the moment even though Natalie's image was still in his head, stupid girl, she should of just kept her mouth shut..

"so whats her name" the sound of a females voice caught him off guard as he looked up to see a tall brown haired girl standing there with a smile on her face, she resembled a school teacher in the way she was dressed, definitely not someone he would of expected to see at a bar, and not this shady bar in particular..

"her?" he said as he looked this girl up and down..

"theres always a girl or something to make someone drink this much" she smiled at him..

"and let me guess your just a good samaritian doing your job" he said sarcastically as she sat down now..

"Maybe I am" she smiled as she put her hand out.."Marty and you are?"

"marty huh? Well how about a drink saint marty" he smirked as he shook her hand and she smiled..

"make it two and its a deal" she grinned..

Natalie tried to pretend that she was unaffected by Johns refusal to go back to the cabin but she was and she worked dilgently on cleaning her guns as she tried not to think of him and what a bastard he was..

"You know I think there is such a thing as cleaning those guns too much" Steele said as he came over and she looked up at him..

"You can never be too sure" she said as she looked back down at her guns..

"You wanna talk about it nat" he said as he took a seat next to her..

"about what" she said nonchalantly as he rolled his eyes and put his hand over hers as she looked up at him now.."nothings wrong"

"and your a horrible liar, so why dont I ask again, what happened with you and John" he asked..

"You know I dont know why something had to of happened, we did a case, end of story" she said as she stood now..

"Listen nat, ive known you for awhile now and I can tell when something is wrong, you can tell me, maybe I can help" he said softly..

"well im sorry but I dont need help and right now I have some other things I need to do so if you dont mind" she said as she began grabbing her guns from the table..Steele watched her as she scurried about in the room, he knew something was definitely up and he was going to get to the bottom of it..

Mikey watched as his brothers car was heard coming onto the property and he quickly got up, he had to see for himself that John was ok but what he wasnt expecting to see was the sillohette of someone else in the car with him, a woman..

"John, thank god your ok, I was worried to death" mikey began as he walked over and John stumbled out of the car, now Mikey wasnt entirely shocked to see his brother two sheets to the wind but the fact that he had put his own life in danger and drove drunk was another thing..

"hey Mikey, whats up little bro" John slurred his words as he stumbled some more and the brown haired girl got out of the car..

"he had a little too much to drink" she smiled sweetly at Mikey.."Im marty" she put her hand out and Mikey just looked at it, he was pissed as he refused her hand shake and looked at his brother..

"Your drunk" Mikey said with annoyance.."and you drove"

"and your a fucking genius, didnt I tell you my bro was a genius" John laughed drunkingly to marty..

"its not funny John, ive been sitting here waiting and" Mikey began as the front door opened and natalie stood there, she was a bit in shock to see John in the state he was and then she saw the girl..

"come on let me help you John" marty said as she came over and put Johns arm over hers..

"This is marty, she's a saint" John grinned as he stood there, natalie was beyond pissed as she spun from the door and headed back inside, of course he would get himself drunk and find some random girl but to bring her back to this place, well needless to say Natalie was furious as she went to find Steele..

"how could you let him drive like that" Mikey lectured the woman..

"hey hey, dont be yelling at her, she didnt do anything wrong and im fine" John slurred his words..

"he's very persuasive" marty smiled some..

"i dont give a shit, he could of killed himself" Mikey snapped loudly as a crowd began to form outside and he didnt care who heard him, he had sat for the last four hours waiting for his brother and to see him now, like this, well Mikey wanted nothing more then to hit him..

"Oh come dont be so dramatic Mikey" John laughed.."He really should be an actor" he laughed towards Marty..

"Let me help you inside" Marty smiled..

"I got this" Mikey said with attitude to her, he didnt like this woman, he didnt like her at all and the fact that she apparently didnt give a shit about his brothers well being only made it stick more..

"woo there buddy, you dont need to give her attitude" John began defensively..

"Your drunk as shit John" Mikey snapped..

"last time I check I was a grown adult and could do what I want" John snapped as he yanked his arm away and nearly fell down..

"alright thats enough, what the hell is going on out here" Steele said as natalie stood by the door now, she was seething..

"Oh hey, steele my man, the jolly green giant" John laughed loudly.."I wasnt kidding when I said he was huge"

"he's drunk as shit Steele and she let him drive" Mikey snapped..

"your brother is an adult, he makes his own choices" Marty finally snapped as Mikey glared at her..

"Mikey why dont you go inside" Steele said honestly..

"But...i.." Mikey began..

"Please, I got this" Steele said as John rolled his eyes and Mikey huffed..

"Oh not you too" John said sarcastically as he held onto Marty and natalie shook her head.

"come on Michael" natalie called out as John looked over at her, he could barely see her straight..

Mikey huffed as he spun from them and walked over to Natalie as they headed inside.."he is being a bit ridiculous, I just had a few drinks, thats all" John said as he almost fell and Steel grabbed his arm..

"alright buddy well your gonna sleep it off" Steele said quickly as he looked at his friend and then at the girl..

"he really did seem fine when we left the bar" she said softly..

"that doesnt matter right now, lets get him inside" Steele said with annoyance as they began heading into the house and everyone that came outside to watch had backed up from them, watching the girl suspiciously..

"Its a nice place you have" she smiled at Steele as they headed inside..

"I cant believe he did this, does he not even care that he could of hurt himself or god forbid someone else and who the hell is that woman" Mikey was furious as natalie tried to calm him down with coffee, she felt horrible for him not to mention she was also pissed at his brothers behaviour..

"well atleast he made it home in one piece" natalie said with a shake of his head..

"he's a fucking idiot" Mikey snapped..

"You aint lying" natalie agreed as the chaosis from outside was brought into the house and Natalie stiffened as she listened to the woman talk, who the fuck was she?

"i said im fine, im not even that drunk" John continued to argue with Steele..

"yeah well your sleeping it off anyways, help me get him up the stairs" Steele called to a few of his guys who came over to help and marty backed up..

"can you believe that asshole" Cris said with a shake of his head as he came over to Natalie.."so much for not letting anyone in our circle" he huffed..

"Oh just cut it out Cris" natalie snapped as she walked into the livingroom where marty stood, she smiled as she looked at Natalie..

"This is like a refugee camp" Marty grinned.."Im Marty" she put her hand out to natalie who just looked at it..

"I really dont give a shit who you are" Natalie snapped at her as the woman blinked in shock..

"You dont have to be rude" marty gasped in shock..

"Oh trust me this is me not being rude" natalie snapped as she stood there..

"Natalie maybe you should calm down, she didnt do anything wrong" Cris said as he came over, shaking his head..

"oh trust me she did plenty" Natalie snapped as she walked past them and began heading up the stairs..

"sorry, its just" Cris began apologetically..

"thats ok, I get it, I shouldnt of came" marty said softly as she turned from him.."Im just going to go"

"go where? Its the middle of the night" Cris said as he walked over to her..

"I didnt mean to cause a problem, I really did just want to make sure he made it home ok" she said softly..

Natalie got up the stairs and followed the arguing voices into johns bedroom where he was now laying down but still fighting with Steele..

"Just sleep it off man and tomorrow we will discuss this" Steele said with surprising restraint, it was obvious that he was pissed but he held himself together pretty well..he turned for the door as natalie stood there.."damn fool" he huffed as he walked past her and she just looked on at John..

Steele made his way down the stairs as cris continued to talk to marty.."is he ok?" she asked as he walked over to her..

"can we have a talk, in private" Steele was all business as he looked at her and she visibly gulped as he lead her out of the room..

"Your brother really is a piece of work, bringing someone here like that" Cris snapped at Mikey who was coming into the room..he huffed as he walked past Mikey who quickly headed up the stairs, Natalie was still outside the room, John was fast asleep now..

"Is he ok?" Mikey said with concern..

"considering" natalie sighed as she shook her head..

"Im just gonna watch him for a bit, make sure he doesnt throw up on himself" Mikey said as he walked into the room.."he is gonna be fine, right?" he said as he looked at her..

"yeah well he is still an asshole" she said as she walked away from the room, what a way to end a fucked up day!
