A tragic tale of romance part 1:
A one-shot dedicated to Johnny and Kitty's love story. Part one shows us how they met , up until that fated fight that changed their relationship forever.
September of 1958
New York City, New York
It was a miserable day in New York City, mostly because it was the first day of school, which meant summer and fun was over and now they were forced to go back for another year of buses, books and teacher's dirty looks.
"Katrina~, Wake up, you don't want to be late for the first day of school…"A shrill, sing-song voice shouted.
"I'm already up and ready, mother…"A young girl of 16 said to her mother.
This girl had sandy blonde hair that was in a short, swift style that all of the girls were using now a days. She also had brown eyes, fair skin and she was wearing a purple skirt-and-sweater vest combo, a white shirt underneath, socks and Mary Janes shoes.
The very image of a "Good girl" of the era.
This girl was Katrina Jane Phillips, who was now 16 years old and was starting her junior year of High school today. She was the daughter of James Phillips who was a sergeant major in the Military but was now retired. Her mother was Susan Phillips, a typical housewife of the 50's who did everything by the book.
"Good morning honey…"Her mother Susan said with her shining teeth in a perfect smile.
"Good morning mother…"Katrina said politely.
"Did you sleep well, dear?..."Her father James said in his gruff, commander like voice.
"I did…"She said as she continued to eat the eggs her mother made her.
This was the typical life of an upper-middle class girl in the 1950's. You ate breakfast, got ready to school, did well in order to avoid a scolding and tried to find a suitable boyfriend. She did all of that, with the exception of the last one but she was going to remedy that this year.
"This is the year I'm going to find my prince Charming and I'm not going to let daddy scare him off…"The girl thought in determination.
Last year was a bust for her in the romance department, she had tried finding her prince but ended up with just some frogs or a wolf in sheep's clothing, and the few times she managed to find someone that fit the part, her insanely-over-protective father would scare them off.
Not this time.
This was the year that she would find herself the perfect boyfriend who would sweep her off her feet and ride her off into the sunset.
She knew it.
At school
Katrina Phillips sighed as she went to her locker, she had just received her class schedule and now got her text books. She had been hoping to find some pontifical boys for herself but all so fair either had girlfriend or just didn't catch her fancy. She wouldn't give up since sooner or later; she would run into Mr-
SLAM
She was knocked to the ground since she apparently bumped into someone, causing all of her books to land to the floor.
"Whoa, sorry about that…"The person she bumped into said.
The person offered to pick up her books and help herself up as well, As she muttered a quick thanks, she got a good look at him. She looked up to see that it was a boy with long, greasy blonde hair, blue eyes and he was very obviously a biker due to his jacket he was wearing. She could also tell from the recent scar on the side of his cheek that he was probably a delinquent as well.
'So Kitten, any reason you are off in a hurry?...'The boy asked in a flirtatious tone.
"I'm supposed to be heading to class, and my name is not Kitten, it's Katrina…"The girl said in annoyance.
This was the kind of person her parents would hate and she knew that she was better off without.
"Katrina, huh…Hmm….I think I like Kitten more, a cute name for a cute girl…"He said trying to be smooth. The girl looked unimpressed, not that it seemed to faze him.
"Look, um…"The girl started but realized that she didn't even know his name.
"Johnny…The name's Johnny…"He introduced himself.
"Well Johnny, thanks for helping me with my books but I have to get to class…"She said as she left.
'Alright, see ya around Kitten…'The boy called out, causing the girl to send him an annoyed look but he only had an interested grin.
"What's with him?..."She thought, getting a strange feeling that this would not be the last she heard of this guy.
Suddenly she saw her two friends Sandy and Janice who had alarmed looks on their faces.
"Katrina, are you alright?..."Sandy asked in concern.
"I'm fine, what's wrong?...'She asked, wondering why they were acting like this.
'That was Johnny 13…"Janice whispered.
"Who?..."Katrina asked in confusion.
"Oh yeah, I forgot that you moved here a little before the summer time, anyway Johnny 13 is one of the biggest delinquents at this school, he's had more detentions in one semester than most students have in four years…"Janice whispered as she casted a worried glance at him.
"What's the 13 stand for?...'She asked, not getting it.
"He seems to bring bad luck wherever he goes, since whenever he's around, a fight is bound to happen…'Sandy said like it was obvious.
"So he's a troublemaker?..."Kitty questioned. She had suspected from the scars that maybe he got into some fights but she didn't realize he had quite a reputation.
'He's also known to be a playboy…"She pointed and all three of them saw him sent a flirtatious grin to another girl who giggled.
Okay, so playboy might not be a stretch for him.
"Why were you talking to him?...'Sandy asked in a worried tone.
"I just bumped into him and he picked up my books, that's all…"Katrina explained, wondering why they were so freaked out.
"Be careful Katrina, Johnny 13 is trouble…"Janice warned her before all three of them headed off to class.
Katrina honestly didn't see why they were so scared about Johnny but decided that it was better to be safe than sorry.
Either way, she doubted that she would have any more run-ins with Mr. Johnny 13.
The next day
Katrina had arrived to her locker once more but to her surprise, she saw a rose and note taped to it. In a pleasant surprise, she picked it up and read it, a little excited at the prospect of an admirer.
"To my Kitten,
I hope that yesterday won't be the only moment between us
Yours truly, Johnny"
She turned to see Johnny at the end of the hall and he was sending her that flirtatious grin from the other day. Katrina groaned and wondered exactly what she did to gain the school's own bad boy 's attention. It was a real shame really, aside for the greasy hair and stubble, Johnny was good-looking but she wasn't into the bad boy type. Besides, even if she did like him, she knew her folks would never approve or her friends for that matter. Hopefully soon, he would get the hint that she was not interested and quit hitting on her. She knew that playboys didn't focus on one girl for long anyway.
She could safely say for certain that no matter what, Johnny would not be her first love.
Mid-October
Katrina sighed as she found yet another rose and love note on her locker. This has been happening for almost a month straight. Each morning she would find these little tokens on her locker and later, she would have to deal with Johnny trying to flirt with her. She always rejected his advances but it only seemed to encourage the biker even more
"Roses are red
Violets are blue
These flowers are pretty
But not as much as you"
"Just how corny can he get…"Katrina said in annoyance, though inside it was a little flattering.
She couldn't deny that it was kind of nice to have someone interested in you like this, even if it could be annoying sometimes. She even noticed that some of the girls sent her dirty looks whenever they saw Johnny flirting with her, even if she would deny him.
It was almost like they were jealous of her or something.
'So my little Kitten, like my poem?..."The biker said smoothly to the girl who rolled her eyes.
"I already told you that I'm not interested Johnny…"Kitty said as she left him there, though she knew that her words had no effect on him.
Unknown to even Johnny, she still kept the rose he had given her, not knowing why she did so but couldn't help it. She just hoped he didn't figure out, if not, it might give him the wrong idea.
Though even she wondered what was the right idea, anyway.
Late-November
"Come on, Kitty…Let's go watch a movie together after school…"Johnny asked her for the 10th time that day.
Apparently calling her "Kitten" wasn't enough , he decided to shorten it to "Kitty' sometimes.
'I said no Johnny…"She said in annoyance, having long stopped trying to correct him with those little nicknames of his. It was obvious he seemed fixated on calling her "Kitten" or "Kitty" for the rest of her life.
"Why?! You're not seeing anyone else, are you?...'He asked her.
She was tempted on telling him yes, but that would have been a lie. Not to mention he probably wouldn't have let that stop him anyway.
"No Johnny, I'm just not interested in you, that's all…"She said for the umpteenth time.
"But why? You got a problem with bikers?..."Johnny asked her seriously.
"Maybe I just don't want to be around a playboy who's idea of an elective is cutting class and chasing shirts!…"She yelled, unintentionally getting some attention.
She didn't care and she didn't bother to look back as she marched away in a huff. If she did, she would have seen the crestfallen look on his face and she would have known how much those words of her stung him.
The next day Kitty was surprised to see a certain boy sitting at the back of the class, staring out of the window.
"What are you doing here?..."She asked in surprise, wondering what he was up to.
"Class is about to start…"Was all that he said.
"Since when do you take this class?...'She demanded, knowing that she didn't recall seeing him here before.
"I take this class, I just didn't come before…."He said, not even looking at her.
"So why are you attending now?...'She asked in confusion.
"What are you a cop? I just am…"He said stubbornly.
She was surprised by that response. For as long as she has known him, Johnny would try and be smooth and flirtatious with her but right now, he looked so serious.
What has caused this?
Before she could ask more questions, the teacher came in to start class but even he seemed surprised to see Johnny arrive there on his own free will. For the rest of the class, Katrina tried to write her notes but she couldn't help but glance at Johnny ever so often. Maybe it was her imagination but there might be more to him than meets the eye.
Maybe.
Late January
It didn't take long before Johnny went back to flirting with her, sending her even more roses and gifts every now and again. Now it was the first day of the new semester and he decided to start it with sending her a cute teddy-bear along with her roses. She smiled at that, no longer annoyed by the attention and secretly having been looking forward to it.
"Meet me after school, there's something I want to ask you"
She was surprised by that, it wasn't really poetic or flirtatious, just a straight-forward message.
"You're not seriously falling for him, are you?..."Sandy asked with her hands on her hips.
"What do you mean?..."Katrina asked as she put the note away.
"We're talking about that 13 guy, you know that he's trouble…"Janice said.
"Will you two relax, I don't like him that way…'She said, though she avoided eye contact with them for some reason.
They noticed.
"Maybe we should tell a teacher or the principal, maybe that would make him stop coming onto you…"Sandy offered.
"You're not serious! I don't need to get anyone involved and it's just some harmless little notes….I can handle this…"Katrina said insistently.
She didn't want to get the adults involved in this. She didn't think what Johnny was doing was so bad…it could be annoying sometimes but not bad…and she didn't want him to get in trouble for it.
"We're just worried for you Katrina, Johnny 13 brings trouble wherever he goes…"Janice warned.
"What trouble are you talking about? It's been months since he last cut class and I don't recall him getting into any fights for a while…"Katrina said in defense of the blonde biker.
She was an observant girl, along with a gossip seeker and she knew the general happenings of the school. It's been a long time since she heard knew of Johnny causing or being part of a fight here.
"Maybe not here…but I heard that he's still getting into fights…"Janice said.
'I heard the other day, he got into a fist fight in a diner with this thug from another school, it was why he came to school with that black eye last week…"Sandy whispered.
"You're better off without him Katrina…"Janice said.
Katrina rolled her eyes, thinking they were being too overprotective. She reassured them that no matter what, she wasn't in any form of trouble with Johnny.
She didn't tell them that she was planning on seeing what he wanted later, though.
That afternoon
Katrina Phillips exited the school once the bell rang and saw Johnny waiting for her by the entrance.
"Hi there…"He said with a smile.
"Hi…'She said, looking down to her shoes.
"So what was it you wanted to talk about?..."She asked him.
"Not here…Let's go someplace a little nicer…"Johnny said as he took her to the where his motorcycle was.
"Where exactly are we going?...'She asked him in a suspicious tone.
"That's actually up to you…I got my ride, you get to pick the destination…'He said with that grin.
Katrina looked unsure but decided to go for it. She's never been on a motorcycle before and despite his appearance, she felt that she could trust Johnny to not do something reckless.
She knew that he wasn't that kind of trouble.
"How about the park? It's usually nice at this time…"She suggested.
"Very well, the park it is Kitten…"He said playfully as he pulled out an extra helmet.
She put on the helmet he offered her and sat on the back seat of the bike, feeling excited as they rode off .
However, two pairs of eyes saw what had happened and did not like it at all.
At the park
Once they arrived at their destination, she and Johnny began making some small talk and even strolled around the lake.
"It's beautiful here…'She commented as she fed one of the ducks some bread crumbs.
"Not as beautiful as you…"He said smoothly.
Katrina felt a blush on her face at that. She knew she couldn't keep lying to herself. She did love the attention he gave her. Despite everything, Johnny wasn't a bad guy, he was handsome and could be so romantic when he tried to be.
He was no prince Charming but….he was something.
He was definitely something alright.
"Why did you bring me here, anyway?..."She asked him, wanting to get to the point.
"Heh…You don't let a guy beat around the bush do you…"He chuckled before giving her a more serious look.
'Look, Katrina I-…'He started but was stopped by her shocked expression.
"What did you just call me?..."She asked, stunned.
"Katrina, that's your name, isn't it?...'He asked with a raised eyebrow.
"It is but…well…you always called me Kitten, I just figured you didn't know or didn't want to…"She tried to explained. It was kind of weird hearing him say her real name.
"Well….this is kinda serious for pet names, isn't it…'He said before giving her the most sincere look possible…."I really like you... a lot…"He confessed.
"But why me? Why do you seem so fixated on me than any other girl at the school?...'She asked him.
That question has been bugging her for the longest time. While Johnny was a trouble maker, he had a lot of girls interested in him for his and badboy ways. A lot of them were really pretty…prettier than her even but Johnny only seemed to be focused on her exclusively.
"Because…there's just something about you that draws me…You're beautiful, smart and you never let anyone walk all over you…There's something special about you and even I can't completely explain it but I just know that you're amazing and that I never felt this way about any other girl before…"He confessed.
"Really…"She said, actually touched by his words. However another questioned popped up in her head and she knew she had to ask him about it.
"Why did you suddenly start coming back to class?..."She asked him.
"Because you didn't like guys who were class cutters and skirt chases…"He confessed, surprising the girl in the process.
That was probably the sweetest thing she ever heard him say. To know that Johnny started improving himself as a student only because of her.
It was so strange yet so flattering.
"Katrina Phillips, I want to know…Will you be my girl?..."He said as he pulled out a class ring, it was gold with a green gemstone on it.
She stared at it in disbelief, feeling like this was some kind of fantasy. Before she could give him her answer, the last thing she ever wanted to happened, had happened.
"KATRINA!...'A loud, booming voice shouted. They turned around and to her dismay; she saw that it was her father with a furious look on his face.
"Daddy!...'She exclaimed, wondering why he was here.
"Why are you here?..."She asked him.
"Your friends told me that you were being harassed by this hoodlum and I came to get you…'He said in a protective voice.
"Sandy and Janice did what?!...'Katrina thought, unable to believe that they would do this, even after she told them not to.
"Hey! We weren't doing nothin', pops…'Johnny said in offense.
"Listen here punk! Stay away from my daughter if you know what's good for you…"James threatened and Katrina looked dismay, thinking he was going to scare away another boy.
To her surprise, Johnny didn't look scared, even with her father who was six feet tall, muscular and had experience taking men down in the military, was staring down at him menacingly. He looked like he was unafraid.
"You don't scare me…"He said, looking him straight in the eye.
"You should be scared…Let's go Katrina…"James said as he pulled his daughter away and dragged her to his car.
"Daddy! I can't believe you did that!...'A humiliated Katrina shouted but was silenced by his glare.
"Listen here daughter, I don't want you to be around that boy, he's no good for you and will never amount to anything…"He said.
"You don't even know him!...'Katrina shouted in defense.
Johnny wasn't a bad guy, sure he could be annoying and make mistakes, but he wasn't the bad guy they were all making him out to be. He could actually be really sweet.
"I am your father and you will do as I say, if I catch you near that boy again, consider yourself disowned!..."James shouted, his face red in anger.
Katrina looked horrified, unable to believe that he was doing this. Her father has always been a hard man, very strict but this was too much.
She couldn't believe that this was happening…even more since…she actually did like Johnny and was actually considering his offer.
The next day
Katrina was in a foul mood as she reentered the school. Yesterday was still a fresh wound in her mind. Her father was being a tyrant and her mother had sided with him, saying in her own, shrill words "Listen to us dear, we know what's best for you'
They didn't know squat about her, so how could they know what was best for her…
"Katrina…"She turned to see Janice and Sandy coming up to her.
She sent them an icy glare before she flat out ignored then, walking away. They stopped being her friends when they went behind her back and sold her out to her father. However, they didn't sense her anger at that and came again.
"What's up with you?...'Janice asked in annoyance with her hands on her hips.
That made her even angrier.
"Why did you both tell my dad I was with Johnny?..."She demanded, anger evident on her face.
"We saw him drag you to his motorcycle and we were worried…"Janice explained.
"He didn't drag me there, I chose to go with him…'She said angrily, tired of their smothering her over the Johnny thing.
"What?..."Janice said in disbelief.
"Because of what you did, my dads has forbid me of going near him…"She said angrily, though quiet enough not to alert any gossip seekers.
"So what, you're better off without him anyway…"Sandy said carelessly, making Katrina appalled by her attitude.
"I can't believe you two…'Katrina said in disbelief as she then walked away from them.
How can they act like they didn't care what their actions had done to her?!
As she tried to get away from those two, she ended up running into the person she was forbidden from ever making any contact with.
Johnny.
"No…"Katrina thought in dismay.
"Hey Kitten, you got a second…"He said with that smooth voice, like what happened yesterday didn't bother him.
"Look, we didn't have a chance to finish yesterday and I wanted to know your answer…'He said as he pulled out that class ring.
"Please no Johnny…"She thought as she stared at the beautiful ring.
She hated that she had to do this….She didn't want to but she had no choice in the matter.
"I'm sorry Johnny but my answer is no…"She said with a straight face, trying to hide what she was truly feeling on the inside.
"What do you mean?...'He asked, looking upset and stubborn.
"I said I am not interested, do I have to draw a picture…'She said harshly, although she could feel something inside of her break when she saw his look.
"Kitten, look-…"He started but was halted by her glare.
"My name is NOT Kitten! Just leave me alone!...'She shouted.
"Please don't make me hurt you more than I have to…"She silently begged as she saw the look on his face.
It made her feel terrible.
She only turned away from him and kept walking. He didn't follow her…He always used to follow her even when she blew him off.
Not this time.
The next day, there were no roses, no love notes and no Johnny near her locker. It was better this way, she told herself as she knew her father would have found out and punished her for it.
It was better this way…but she still felt like she made a terrible mistake.
A few months later
September of 1959
It was a new school year. A new start but Katrina felt like this year would be the worst one of her life. It's been months since that terrible day, where she had to break Johnny's heart and he hasn't tried flirting with her since then. She went to her locker and saw Janice and Sandy, her ex-friends down the hall. She sent then an acidic glare but didn't speak to them. She has stopped hanging out with them since then as well since they didn't care that they betrayed her, even more when she discovered the real why they were so against her giving Johnny a chance.
"Lying bitches…"She internally growled, unable to believe that she once thought they were actually her friends.
It turns out that Janice had previously dated Johnny during freshman year, only for the biker to break up with her after only a month. Since then, she had a massive grudge against him and couldn't stand the thought of him with another girl. Sandy also apparently had a thing for him but he turned her down due to lack of interest. They apparently still had it against him and would speak badly about him to anyone who was willing to listen…anyone being someone who might have liked the biker.
Like her.
Anyway the final bell had rung and she was just getting her things to go back to the prison she was forced to call her home, with her warden father and her useless mother. She left the school and saw Johnny prepping his motorcycle. She desperately wanted to talk to him, to make up for what she did but he had been avoiding her since that day. She knew that he must hate her now for turning him down in such a way. She hated herself for doing it but she had no choice. Her father and mother were impossible to reason to. She knew that they would never let her even be just friends with Johnny and that was tearing her apart. As the girl was still lost in thoughts, she noticed that the bus just left and she knew that the next one wouldn't be here for another 15 minutes. Since she only lived 2 blocks away, she decided to just walk home.
As she was about to turn the corner, two boys in leather jackets approached her. One of them was tall with a Mohawk and the other was fat and wearing sun glasses and they both had a slimy look to them. She didn't like the look of this.
"Hey there baby, where are you headin'..."Mohawk said with a disgusting smirk.
She ignored them and tried walking faster but they just kept following her. Now they were in front of her and grinning menacingly.
"Not good..." She thought in alarm but kept a stone cold face. She tried to run but they both grabbed her by the arms.
Let go of me!..."She shouted and struggled only for one of them to cover her mouth.
"Ooohhh sassy baby. .." The fat one said, showing a pair of crooked teeth.
"Ricky 's gonna like you..."Mohawk said as he and his friend dragged pulled her some direction.
"Hmmm...Hmmm. .."She tried to screamed and fight but they were too strong and she couldn't do anything as they dragged her off to who - knows - where! .
Elsewhere
The two creeps unceremoniously dropped her to the floor, her arms and legs were bound and she noticed that she was now in some kind of junk yard.
"We got the girl Ricky..."The fat one shouted and suddenly some tall, muscular guy with red hair and scars all over his face appear.
He looked like he was even bigger trouble than the other two.
"Hmm...wow...she's even cuter up close..."He said mockingly.
"Who are you and what do you want with me?..."Katrina demanded, trying to hide the fear she felt inside.
"Relax baby, if you cooperate, we won't lay a finger on you...but if you bug me...I can't make any promises..."The boy sneered..."They call me Ricky the ripper and this is all business here..."Ricky said.
"Business?..."Katrina asked out loud, not liking the sound of that.
"Not with you but with Johnny 13..."He said, showing the girl to the core.
"Johnny?! What are you saying?..."She demanded.
"Let's just say I got a score to settle with that guy and you get to be the bait, baby..."Ricky said then sent a smile that made the girls skin crawl.
"Not good..." Katrina thought as she tried to think of an escape.
"Get your filthy hands off of her!..."Was heard loudly. They all turned around to see a furious Johnny 13 storm in, his motorcycle not far away.
"Well,we'll, well Johnny 13, I was just about to send for ya, how'd you find us anyway..."Ricky demanded while his two underlings picked Katrina up to use as a hostage.
"I saw one of your cronies hanging near the school and I knew you couldn't be far behind, but really Ricky, now your up and taking people from the streets, I didn't think you'd do that..."Johnny said in disgust.
"Shows how much you know about life, little boy..."Ricky smirked as he sent a glance to Katrina, which made the blonde biker more angry.
"If you just wanted a rematch, just ask...don't bring her or anyone else into it..."Johnny said seriously, not liking how they were eyeing the girl.
"Oh really Blondie, then come on..."Ricky said as he cracked his knuckles, eager for payback.
"Oh man, it's three against one..." Katrina thought in dismay, worried for both her well being, as well as Johnny's.
She tried to be hopeful, after all Johnny was clearly a fighter but she noticed that he sent one look at her, before locking on with Ricky the ripper. Then the absolutely last thing she expected had happened. Ricky threw a single punch and hit Johnny square on the face. Then another one...and another one...until Johnny was on the ground.
"What are you doing 13! Not even gonna bother fighting back!..."Ricky mocked, thought he just kept beating on him.
Johnny only remained silent while Ricky continued to beat him. Mohawk guy and fatso decided to take part in it and now all three of them were beating Johnny to the ground, much to the horror of the captive who could't take her eyes off it. Johnny wasn't even trying to fight back.
"What?..." Katrina thought in horror as she continue to watch the three thugs continue to abuse him.
"What's a matter 13? Are you sleeping?..."Mohawk sneered as he gave him a black eye.
Johnny still didn't move.
"Eat this loser!..."Fatso shouted as he kicked him in the ribs.
Johnny still didn't move!
"Stand up!..."Ricky demanded as he kept punching and slapping him but still nothing.
"Stop it! Stop hurting him..."Katrina shouted as she tried to loosen her bindings but nothing.
The thugs ignored her and continued with what they were doing. She could only watch in horror as they continue to beat Johnny to a bloody pulp. After what felt like a painful eternity, the three thugs stopped with the attached but had nasty, smug looks on their faces.
"Looks like the rumors of you going soft are true...eh...it's not any fun if your not gonna fight back..."Ricky spat before he and his minions just left in boredom. Leaving behind their victim and their captive who was still trying to break her bindings. After forever, she managed to cut her ropes with a nearby fragment of a broken mirror and immediately ran up to Johnny who was still lying on ground
"Johnny! Johnny! Oh my gosh!..."She said as she examined him all over, feeling so much turmoil right now.
Johnny was bleeding all over. He had two black here, some of his teeth were chipped and she knew he likely had some internal injuries.
"Kitten..."He said in a weak, dazed voice.
"I...I don't understand. .. I mean...Why...why didn't you hit back once?!..."She shouted,tears she didn't even realize she had, began falling from her eyes.
None of this made any sense, Johnny was a fighter and she knew first had that he was fearless, given that he didn't even flinch against her father who was scarier than those three thugs put together. Despite seemingly calming down, Johnny didn't let anyone mess with him...so why did he-
She noticed he was looking in her eyes now with a grimace on his face, but it wasn't from the pain of his wounds.
"I'm sorry..."He said before blacking out.
"Johnny!..."Katrina shouted as she examined his pulse and was relieved that he still had one. She immediately ran to the neatest payphone and called for an ambulance. She couldn't leave Johnny alone like this.
She didn't want to leave him alone, period.
At the hospital
Katrina was now in a hospital room with Johnny who regain consciousness and was lying on the bed, his left arm in a sling and he clearly looked like he was in pain but the doctor treated him and left to give them a moment. Johnny began explain the story about Ricky, that last week they had gotten into a fight at some diner. He won but Ricky was a sore loser and vowed to get pay back.
"I guess Ricky found out that I knew you and tried to use that to his advantage, I don't know how he found out but I'm pretty sure he won't try to use you again now that he got what he wanted..."Johnny said, thought guilt was evident on his face.
"Why didn't you even try to fight back Johnny? I mean...you...you could have-..."She started but was stopped by the boy.
"You were taken hostage by them because of me...it was my fault that you were in danger and...if I just beaten them up there...He would only get angrier and...he knows now that I love you and he would have done something even worse than just take you hostage again...I guess I figured that if I just...let Ricky win...he wouldn't be tempted to try using you to get to get to me again...it would have been over..."He confessed.
He was a stunned look on her face and he wasn't surprised if she-
"Johnny...did you just say that you loved me?..."Katrina whispered in disbelief.
"Huh?...I guess I did..."The boy said, looking away from her.
"You love me?..."She asked him again, unable to believe this.
"What are you asking, you already knew that I had feelings for you...but I know that you don't. .."He was stopped when she suddenly came forward, surprising the injured boy in the process.
"But...why...why did you stop trying to talk or be around me?.."She asked him. She had to know. She had been so certain that he hated her because of her rejection.
"You said to that you didn't feel the same way...and to leave you alone...look Katrina, I'm sorry for all the trouble I cause but-..."The biker boy was silenced by a pair of lips crashing onto his own.
"Kitten..." He thought in surprise before he shrugged and melted into the kiss.
"Oh Johnny..." Katrina thought before parting with him, a dazed look on both of their faces but happy ones.
"Okay, I'm confused now...happy but confused. .."Johnny said in a truly lost tone.
She realized that this was probably an even bigger surprised to him than it was to her.
"Johnny, I do have feelings for you...I have for a while, but I was scared...since my dad made me stay away from you...but I don't care anymore...is it too late..for me to accept your ring?..."She asked in the most sincere tone possible.
"I would have waited forever for you, Katrina Phillips. ."Johnny said as he pulled out the ring from his pocket and placed it on her finger where it belonged.
"Call me Kitty..."She said before she went back to kissing him, no longer ignoring her feelings and no longer caring about her father or anyone else.
She finally found her Prince Charming, her leather wearing, greasy haired, motorcycle riding Prince Charming and she wasn't going to let him slip away from her. No one else mattered her now, not her parents, not the other kids at school or her ex friends. All that mattered was that she and Johnny finally found each other. She accepted that this was whom she would love for the rest of her life and no one else would matter to her. She loved Johnny and he loved her.
That was all that would matter now.

REPLIES to my loyal and totally awesome reviewers:
Invader Johnny: That would be funny, though it be mostly Ember since Danny is the overprotective big brother.
Guest: I really do appreciate and considered your suggestion but I am starting to feel that I milked deleted scenes long enough and I have other ideas on hand. Thank you for your patience and understanding
Spectrer: They sure do.
Dreams Come True 996: What else are little ghost powered sisters for anyway! LOL!
