Unbreakable Bonds
A/N: I don't own any of the Fantastic Four. I encourage people to read and review the story and feel free to make any suggestions. Chapter 5
Johnny remained silent as he stared at his sister trying to convince himself that she was real.
"Johnny," Sue repeated with tears in her eyes as she quickly moved towards him and embraced him a hug. "Is it really you," she asked him as her tears finally fell.
Slowly, as if he too was thinking the same question as her, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head, enjoying the feeling of her warmth.
After several silent minutes the two finally separated though they remained close as Johnny finally noticed the other two people on the balcony. Both Reed and Ben were smiling happily as they watched the reunion. Finally Johnny looked back to his sister who was staring at him lovingly as she held his hand. His eyes lowered so that he could see her small hands holding his when he noticed the ring on her finger. He quickly turned his head so that he could see Reed's hand which also adorned a ring.
'They got married,' he thought as he looked back down to his sister's hand, missing the concerned look his sister was giving him. 'I missed her wedding. She got married without me,' he thought as he unwillingly started to feel betrayed, forgotten.
"Johnny," Sue said worriedly as Johnny stepped away from her as he continued to look at her hand.
"Ben," Alicia said as she stepped out onto the balcony. "What's going on?"
Johnny's eyes quickly moved to her as he searched her hand as well. 'Oh god,' he thought as he saw the ring on her hand as well. 'They all forgot about me. They all replaced me,' he thought as he felt his hurt and anger swelling inside him as he stepped as far from them as possible.
"Johnny, what's wrong," Sue asked worriedly as she stepped near him but she stopped when she saw his eyes or more like the fire she saw inside them. "Johnny?"
'What the hell am I doing,' Johnny asked himself when he saw the fear on her face. Closing his eyes he tried to suppress his hurt and his anger. 'Why am I upset? I should be happy for them. I mean it has been two years, I shouldn't expect them to put their lives on hold for me.'
Sue let out a sigh of relief when Johnny reopened his eyes and all she saw was the blue in them. Almost timidly Johnny stepped forward until he was right in front of his sister and he gently lifted her hand so that he could get a closer look at the ring.
'It's nice,' he thought still feeling slightly hurt. He looked into her face which was still covered in worry and gave her a smile before he pulled her into a tight hug and acted as excited as he could for her.
"Johnny? Johnny is back," Alicia asked hopefully.
"Yep," Ben said happily trying to keep the worry out of his voice as he watched the siblings. "Matchsticks is back."
"I'm so glad you're back," Sue said happily as they once again parted. "Where have you been? Are you ok?"
He just nodded as he looked everyone over. 'They have all moved on,' he thought feeling overwhelmed by the fact. 'I can't believe it, they have all moved on,' he kept repeating to himself as his head started to spin.
He vaguely felt his knees give out beneath him and heard a distant voice calling his name as his vision started to tunnel. The last thing that passed through his mind before his world went black was 'they don't need me.'
A/N: I know it took me forever to update and I am really sorry. I'll try to do better but I still may need people reminding me to update. Please review and I sorry this is so short.
