Chapter Nineteen:
The surgery went well. They found the small brain bleed and closed it up. Since when she was discharged, they all head to her house. They all called their parents to inform them that they will be at AJ's until tonight. To their surprise, even though they had to deal with AJ in the hospital, AJ's parents called all of their parents. They informed all of them about why their child or children aren't in school.
AJ is in her bedroom in Jack's arms. John is on the floor beside them with Stacey and Randy on the couch. They are watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathon in request for AJ.
"I don't get it, why is having sex dad for him." Jack asks never watch this before.
"He was an evil vampire before he gained a soul. His name was Angelus before. When he makes love to someone he loves, he loses that soul." AJ explains as she watches this show a hundred times.
"So, he only loses it when he has sex with someone he loves." She nods. "And he loves Buffy extremely." Jack notices.
"Yes, he does which is sad."
"Wow, if I was like that I would have lost my soul way before he did." He discloses.
"Really?" AJ asks looking up at him.
"Yup, I would want to make my girl feel loved in depth kissing and holding hands couldn't reach." Jack divulges.
"Aww, that is so sweet." She pecks him which turns into Jack kissing her deeply.
"Get a room." Randy throws a pillow at their legs to mindful of his best friend's surgery.
"That's a good idea; everyone out except for myself and AJ." Jack orders.
"Jack, this is not your bedroom." Randy is not budging from his spot.
"You heard my boyfriend. Please leave my room." She tries not to giggle.
Stacey sits up. "Bestie, I want to watch when Buffy stabs Angel to save the world. Also, I might miss Dawn, the sister of Buffy, being annoying. I can relate to that one but instead I have an older brother." She looks at Jack.
"Fine, you can stay." Jack approves.
"Good." Stacey snuggles into Randy again.
"I told only my sister to stay not you Randy." He re-states.
"Baby." She hits him gently. "Randy, you can stay, but no comments about us or the TV show. You know all the answers to the questions when we watch this when I was sick." She warns.
"Fine, I won't ruin it for anyone." He shrugs into his seat.
As soon as everyone is comfortable again, there is a knock on the door. "Come in." AJ calls out.
"Sweetie, Ms. Silver is her to drop off your school bags. As well as check how you are doing?" Mrs. Lee utters.
"Oh great, send her up mom." She smiles as John smiles as well.
"Oh John, Randy, Stacey, and Jack, your parents are coming here too. They want to make sure in person that you are all fine as well." She mentions.
"Thanks you Mrs. Lee." They answer back.
After a few minutes, Sylva knocks on the door. "Come in." AJ answers again.
"Hello." She enters. "Now I did I know you all would be in here?"
"Hmm, maybe it is because your lover boy told you." Randy answers to receive a glare from John.
"Randy be nice; she is also a teacher from school." Stacey light punches him.
"It is okay Stacey it is true. Hello baby, how are you?" He kisses her.
"I am good. The real question is how AJ is?" Ms. Silver sits on the floor with John.
"I am fine Ms. Silver. I just in the recovering phrase. Also, you don't have to sit on the floor. Baby, can you get my computer chair to have her to sit on." She asks Jack as he obliges.
"Hey, why don't I get that treatment?" John huffs.
"It is because you keep denying my offers before, remember. You said you are comfortable on the floor." She reminds him.
"But now it is different."
"How so?" AJ crosses her arms. She knows the only difference is that Ms. Silver is here.
"John, I can sit on the floor if you want and you can sit on the chair." Sylva offers.
"No, I am a gentleman you can sit. I will just hold your hand while I sit on this cool floor." He smirks.
"It is not going to work." AJ replies.
On the last episode of the second season, AJ's dad calls everyone down except, of course, AJ.
"Our parents must be here." Randy announces.
"I will be back to say goodbye." Jack kisses her on the head where the incision took place.
Downstairs, they are surprise to have all their parents relieve to see their children okay. They all start to hug and kiss them. The teenagers get uncomfortable with too much attention at once.
"So we are just going to say our goodbyes to AJ before we leave." Jack tells his parents.
"Oh sweetie, all of us brought food over here to have dinner here. You all will have dinner in AJ's room. I know you guys want to be with her tonight." His mom tells him.
"Is this true, Mrs. Lee?" Jack asks surprise that they set this up.
"It is." She agrees letting them stay knowing that her daughter needs her friends to heal.
"Great, let's get started." They all walk to the dinner table to get their food. Randy gets AJ's food to a surprise it is all of AJ's favourite foods.
"That was delicious." AJ puts her utensils down.
"Well thank you. I cooked I myself." Randy apprises himself.
"Oh yeah." He nods. "So your parents didn't help you?" She smirks.
"Busted." They all say.
"No, they are at home right now. Why would you say that?"
"Give it up, man." John chuckles.
"Why? She doesn't know they are here." He tries to whisper to John.
"Oh I know."
"How, we close the… I didn't close the door." Randy sinks down.
"Nope you didn't. You know better than anyone that I can hear you guys downstairs when it is open." AJ reminds him.
"Yes I know." He sulks. He is reminded of how they try to throw AJ a surprise party, but she overheard everything when her door was open. Stacey wants to help him feel better so she snuggles up to him deeper for comfort. "Thank you." He wraps an arm around her.
After they are all done, AJ's mom brings them Jell-o for dessert before collecting the dishes. "Tell everyone dinner was delicious. I appreciate them preparing the food and coming here." AJ says to her mother.
"I will. Enjoy your friends' company until 10." They all groan. "You all except AJ have school tomorrow. I know AJ or your parents won't want you to miss school." Mrs. Lee advises.
"Yes Mrs. Lee." They all speak as AJ giggles a bit.
"Thank you. Now enjoy your dessert." She walks out with her head held high. Sometimes, they gang up on her to get their way. This time she stood her ground and won.
At 10 pm, everyone start to leave. They say their goodbyes for right now promising to come back tomorrow. Jack is the last one to say his goodbyes.
"You know you scared me today." He wraps his fingers in hers.
"You were scared?" AJ wonders.
"Of course I was. If Randy wasn't holding you, I would have. You have only been part of my life for a few weeks, but you mean so much to me. I also want to thank you for saving my sister." He pecks her.
"I feel the same way. I thank you for your consideration. And for saving Stacey, I will do it again in a heartbeat. My friendships and relationships are very important to me." She snuggles up to him.
"I wish I could stay longer, but I know your mom will kick me out. I will see you tomorrow, sweetheart." He kisses her to have AJ deepen it for a moment before letting go.
The next day at school, they are all pulled from their second period class to go to the principal's office.
"Does anyone know why we are here?" John asks.
"No, the teacher just told us to head to the principal's office for a message." Jack responds.
"Baby, are you okay?" Randy sees her nervous, rubbing her arms.
"This is her first trip to the principal's office not knowing what is happening." Jack informs them. "She usually knows why because she volunteers for school activities in Junior High."
"Oh come here Stacey, it will be okay." He brings her closer for some comfort. "This could be a good thing we don't know." He rubs her arm as he kisses her head.
"But, what if it bad, I don't think I can take it." She holds him tight.
"I see no reason for it to be bad. We haven't done anything wrong, okay. Just think happy thought."
"Hello." Mr. Michaels walk in with paperwork.
"Hello, Mr. Michaels." They all greet back.
"First thing, you are not in trouble." He says to Stacey directly. "I know Stacey you are nervous about that, so you can rest easy." He smiles.
"May I ask? Why are we here?"
"Well Jack, I called you four in to get the full details on what happen yesterday."
"You mean with AJ?" Mr. Michaels nods. "Okay, what do you need to know?" Randy offers.
"Well, there are a few gaps when I talked to Dawn and Kimberely, so I need that information."
"Okay."
"First, Dawn said you stole a best friend from her. What does that mean?"He asks.
"Well, Stacey and Kourtney were best friends until this year. I am guessing Dawn wanted to be Kourtney's best friend when they drifted apart. However, Kourtney didn't want to because she is upset that AJ is Stacey's best friend now." Jack answers for his sister.
"Is this true, Stacey?" She nods. "Okay, next she said she knows that Stacey is the recorder. I am guessing she knows that she is the one who videotaped the incident with John and AJ before." Stacey nods again. "Why would she care about that?"
"It-" Stacey clears her throat. "She wanted to blackmail me to tell Kourtney or else. She would leave me notes and baby powder showered me." Stacey speaks out.
"I see." He looks down at his paperwork. "Randy, Kourtney told me you used your words to bully her. Is this true?"
"No Mr. Michaels. Her and her group was teasing AJ a few times. I was defending her." Randy answers.
"Okay, now for the incident that happened yesterday. What is your point of views? Jack, you're first."
"Well, we were having lunch while talking until Dawn rudely asks Stacey to get up. My sister stood her ground and didn't stand up. She rudely asks again and again she didn't oblige. She then pulled Stacey's hair to get her up, but she snatches her arm away. When she heads back to the table, Dawn charges at her. AJ moved her out of the way to absorb the impact."
"Thank you. Anybody else wants to include anything else." He doesn't want to ask the other because it will be repeating the same information.
"Well before that, I talked to Kourtney about being the recorder. She didn't take it well and I informed her we are not best friends anymore. In the conversation, Dawn and her actions towards us were mention. I am guessing she spoke to Dawn which made Dawn angry that she got caught."
"Thank you for your input. If we need anything further, I will call you four back."
"What do you mean?"
"Since Dawn did tackle AJ, she is suspended until we find out what actually happened. A lot of violence has happened and it always involves your four, AJ, Dawn, and Kourtney. I just need the full details before proceeding. Thank you, you may go."
They all leave with a bit of shock expression that Dawn is suspended. They didn't know that Mr. Michaels knew about the incident.
After school, as promise, they all go visit AJ at her house.
"Hello Mrs. Lee." They all greet when Mrs. Lee answers the door.
"Hello everyone, come in. AJ is probably awake watching Love it or List it." She kisses one of their cheeks as they enter.
"Thanks."
They head up to AJ's room to hear her screaming. They rush inside to see her throw a pillow at the TV. "AJ, what's wrong?" Randy and Jack rush to her side.
"Oh I was just watching a scary movie. I threw the pillow because it made me scream." AJ explains her actions.
John and Randy both chuckle. "You know that wouldn't make a difference. You know how you are with scary movies." Randy tells to her.
"Yes I know, but I have nothing else to do. I can't play videogames with the seizure warnings. I don't like to read that much besides my comic books. I read all my comic books, so to keep myself awake I am watching scary movies." She discloses to them.
"Well my baby wants scary movies we will watch with you; anything for her." Jack sits beside her with a peck on her cheek.
"That is such a boyfriend thing to say. However, you will regret it when she calls you at night because of her nightmares." Randy warns.
"She won't do that. She will call you because she knows it will bother you." He argues.
"It is true." AJ nods with a smile.
"Damn, you are right?" He snaps his fingers. "Before that, don't you want to know what happen at school?" Randy stalls.
"Sure, anything exciting."
"Yup, I think our Dawn problem is almost over." John mentions.
"Oh, how do you know?" AJ wonders knowing they have said that before.
"Mr. Michaels called all of us to his office." Jack starts.
"I hope you comforted Stacey, Randy. That is probably her first time in the principal's office without knowing the purpose."
"He did don't worry bestie. He takes go care of me." Stacey hugs Randy.
"Anyways-" Jack continues never used to the cuteness from her sister and Randy. "He told us that Dawn got suspended for tackling you. He wants all the information before he makes his final decision." Jack concludes.
"So, it is almost over." AJ smiles thanking God that no one will get hurt again.
"It is almost over." Jack kisses her head. He is relief that Stacey and AJ won't get hurt again. "Now we can watch the scary movie."
"Wait, there is still more." Randy stalls again. "Umm…" He ponders trying to think of something.
"Randy, stop stalling we are watching." AJ glares at him.
"Fine."
When they press play, there is a knock on the door. "Sweetie, another friend from school is here." They all look at each other questioning on who it could be.
"Kourtney?" They all say in shock as she stands at the doorway.
