Chapter sixteen: Doll Face Part I
The sounds of the birds' chirps awoke Juliet in the early morning. The nurse wanted to keep her over night and a few more days to make sure Juliet started eating frequently. Juliet wasn't surprised at all when Trent didn't come to visit her; she was more surprised that Johnny or Petey visited her.
They—to her—were both her friends; maybe they didn't receive the rumor? Juliet looked out the window that sat along her white bed. Weird enough, the nurse had changed her the night before to a hospital(ly) looking gown so she wouldn't be uncomfortable. Juliet pondered of taking a shower, surely she smelt of sweat. So, slowly, she got up to find herself face to face with Ms. Hatchet.
"What are you doing out of bed Miss. Kolbe?" she asked a genuine smile crept upon her face. Juliet smiled, but it was more useless than anything.
"I wanted to shower. Is that alright Ms?" Ms. Hatchet nodded and held up a finger as she walked out of the room. Once she came back she was holding a bottle of cinnamon spice shampoo and conditioner, plus a bar of soap that smelt of lavender. Juliet, gladly, took them along with an oversized towel.
"Bathroom's on the left dear." Ms. Hatchet said as she walked into the check up room; probably another patient. She peered into the room; it was Neil! Her shop teacher! She wasn't one to eavesdrop, but this was interesting.
"Oh god Neil! Do it harder!" Juliet's eyes widened in realization of what they were doing and evidently it was each other. Juliet scampered off to bathroom and turned on the open shower. She locked the door tightly and stripped off her gown as the water grew warm.
She sat in the warm water for several minutes, just taking in the heat. After all the shampooing and altering, she had grown quite tired of standing. The hot water pelted her back as she smiled; it really felt good! Though, it wasn't long enough. A knock evolved behind the door.
"Hey, doll face, ya' in there?" she knew immediately who it was: Johnny. She smiled wickedly and threw a towel on.
"Yes, yes, hold on." She opened the door, letting out the hot steam. She could see Johnny's flustered face.
"Uh, hey." Juliet smiled and slightly giggled.
"Ya' already said that." Johnny scratched his head, trying not to mess up his hair.
"I did?"
"Yeah, you did John-boy." She repeated herself as she watched back to her room.
"Stay here for a minute while I dress." Johnny nodded, the blush seemed to go away as she left the general area he was in. He was attracted towards her… in a sexual or a physical way, he only had the heart for Lola, but she wasn't delivering. The image of Juliet's long, tanned legs crept into his mind. The image leaded up into an image of her—.
"Back." Johnny coughed right after she said that.
"Uh, hey."
"Third time."
"Oh, shit, yeah." He laughed a little, but recovered as he tempted to light a smoke. Juliet pulled him into her room.
"If you're gonna do those, can you please do it beside the window?" Juliet said, not pleased. Johnny laughed at her facial expression, but blew the smoke out the window either way.
"So how's it with you and Trent?" Juliet scoffed.
"I ain't talkin' to the bastard; I mean Christy! Of all people!" Juliet yelled. Johnny did the 'shush' sign by pressing a finger against his lips—oh how she wanted to… don't think like that! She scolded herself. I like Jimmy… not Johnny.
"Like they can hear us, the nurse and Neil are doing it." Johnny made a face.
"What?"
"They're…" Juliet's face was flushed to a very bright red, "having sex." Johnny made a circle with his lips—he looked like a goldfish like that.
"Really now?" Johnny said teasingly, "maybe we should, ya' know join them." Juliet's flustered face became on of rage as she jumped on Johnny.
"You scamper." She teased as she tried to pin him down, but against her own strength, he managed to pin her down. Their lips centimeters apart and Juliet had closed her eyes as Johnny's head bent down slowly.
(A/N: I hope this confuses you! 'Cause it does with me! Let's do a recap: she found out she had feelings for Jimmy. Johnny felt attracted to Juliet, but his heart belongs to Lola. And I guess Juliet is attracted to Johnny physically… but why is she mixing signals and feelings for others? Find out only in the next issue of 'Unchained Melody' on the stands July of 2010! MWAHA, just kidding, know wouldn't that suck hard?)
