Chapter 11

Jenna just stood there, not know if she should go back on stage. I have to do this or Richard won't leave and he'll keep tormenting me until something happens, she thought. Jenna took a deep breath and walked back on to the stage. She looked at John, and then back at Richard.

She looked back at the band and gave them their cue to start the song.

Hurts to Think

Tongue is sharp
Got an ax to grind
Girls go wrong, men go right after them
I don't win and it's a compromise
You'll be the loser that pays the dividend

Far from you you'll find me
Such an easy target and a tragedy
You're just a shiver looking for a spine
You can have your way, but you can't have mine

If I had one wish you'd go away
I haven't snapped yet, but I'm on the brink of it
And I'm not as dumb as the look on your face
You'll never be half the man your mama is

Everyone started laughing, but not Richard. At that moment he realized that something was going on. He had a feeling that Jenna and Kennex were up to something. But instead of going after Jenna, he made a bee-line for John. "Hey Kennex!" and without a warning he punched John in the face.

Jenna saw what happened. At that moment she stopped playing the song and ran to get in between Richard and John before a fight started. She got in front of John before he could make a move and without warning, Jenna punched Richard so hard that it made him fall on his back.

The bar at that moment had got dead silent. Either no one could believe what had just happened, or they were scared.

"Get out..." Jenna said to Richard. "I want you to get the hell out of here, and never come back. I don't want to see your face every again." She looked back at Dorian and John, and then gave Richard another glance. "If you even think about coming back to this bar and try to hurt my people, I will personally have you arrested for trespassing." Jenna winched as her hand was in so much pain.

Richard got up and tried to wipe the blood off his face. The MXs grabbed him by the arms and hauled him out of the bar. Everyone cheered at Jenna's bravery, but she still couldn't believe what had just happened.

Jenna couldn't believe what she had she did. Oh my god...I punched a cop! She looked over at John, who was still wiping the blood off his nose. The tears started to fall from her face as she ran out the side door. John then turned around just in time to see her head towards an alley. He had realized anything was wrong until then. He gave Dorian a "I'm going after her" look. Dorian just nodded as John hurried out the side door.

John walked down the path that he thought he saw Jenna go to. He then heard a familiar sound of crying and instantly recognized that it was Jenna.

She looked up as she saw John coming down the alley. "Look I am so sorry. That just happened on impulse and-."

John walked towards Jenna, his eyes fixed on her. He got closer and pulled towards him and kissed her lips. This shocked Jenna at first, but then she put her hands on John's face, hoping that they could stay like this forever as she kissed him back.

Their lips parted, and John hugged her tightly. "I'm so sorry." Jenna whispered.

"Sorry? For what?"

"I punched a cop."

"Yeah well, if anything happens then you did it in self defense." John then went silent for a bit. "I'm the one who should be sorry. I-"

"John..." Jenna looked over his shoulder and could see that someone was on top of the roof, holding a gun and was it point it right at them.

"What?"

"RUN!" She then grabbed his arm as they ran down the alley. The person then started to shoot at them, and hit Jenna in the leg. John then grabbed his gun, turned around and fired three shots at the person on top the roof. He didn't see if they fell down or anything. He was too worried about Jenna who was lying on the ground with a wound.

"Hey. Let me see the wound." He lifted up her jeans and saw what the bullet had done. It had almost hit the bone and she was losing blood fast. John then saw Dorian run out of the building.

"Hey, I saw what happened. Is she ok? I called for an ambulance. They should be here soon"

"Tell Maldonado that I'm not coming in tomorrow. She needs to be with me."

Dorian nodded as the ambulance and paramedics finally made it and were able to get Jenna on a stretcher. She woke up and saw John standing there. She panicked. "NO! No wait."

John had a worried look on his face and walked to the stretcher. Jenna grabbed his and looked up him. "John...I love you. Please don't leave me."

"Ok. I'm coming with you." He looked back at Dorian, who he was afraid to leave behind. "Dorian, will you be ok without me?"

Dorian just nodded without saying anything and walked off.
