A/N - ASK QUESTIONS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

John's POV

   I can't believe I made Alexis cry. I never wanna see her tears again. I yelled at her because I didn't want Martha to have any more of a reason to have conflict with Alexis. I was about to open the door when Alexis grabbed my wrist and bit her lip. "Can I ask you something?"
   "Not right now. Martha-"
   "Yeah...ok. Never mind." She mumbled, I smiled and opened the door. Martha grabbed my collar and kissed me deeply, startling me. Alexis ducked away and sat next to Laf. I heard the buzzer go off and I moved to the elevator. I pressed the buzzer and paused.
   "There's a Hercules Mulligan here to see you, sir."
   "Send him up, please." I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair as Martha stared at me.
   "Johnny? Can I talk to you privately please?"
   "Uh...Sure." She followed me to my bedroom and she closed the door. She pulled me into a heated kiss and slipped her hand up my shirt. "What are you doing?" I asked between kisses.
   "Don't you know what I'm doing?" She purred, pushing me down on the bed.
   "Mar-"
   "Ugh, what did I tell you about your stupid lip ring." She huffed.
   "Martha, stop!" I shoved her off and pushed my shirt back down.
   "We have to get rid of those thoughts. You know what your father will do!"
   "I know...When they leave." Martha scoffed and pulled out her compact, checking her lipstick.
   "Fine." She sighed, she left the room and I huffed. I wiped my mouth on my sleeve and ignored the pink stain it left. I left the room and found Alexis, Laf, and Herc laughing about something and Martha eyeing Alexis. This sucked.
   "NO! LAF! MALDITO IDIOTA! INCLUSO SABES JUGAR! DETENER!" Alexis yelled after Laf killed her, we all looked at her in surprise and she huffed. "Que?"
   "We've just never heard you rage before." I muttered, Martha pulling me closer to her.
   "I have." Laf sighed, Alexis rolled her eyes and got up.
   "I'm going to use the bathroom." She left the room and Laf sighed.
   "It was an accident." Laf mumbled.
   "I think she's just stressed out." I smiled. "I'll go check on her." I started to get up and Martha pulled me back down.
   "She's fine."
   "No. I think I should-"
   "You shouldn't." Martha growled, I sighed and sat returned to my original position.
   "Uh...I'll go check on her." Herc smiled, I nodded and he got up. He left the room and I sighed. Martha kissed me and Laf cleared his throat. The silence hung low in the air and it was terrible. Soon Alexis and Hercules returned and Alexis plopped back down. She grunted and my head snapped up.
   "Are you ok?"
   "No..." She muttered.
   "Here. Maybe you should lay down-"
   "I think I'm gonna go home."
   "Oh..."
   "I just don't feel very well anymore. I should go home and rest."
   "Yeah-..." I mumbled, Alexis got to her feet and sighed.
   "I'm gonna go call James."
   "Oh, she does have a boyfriend?" Martha frowned.
   "James is my brother." Alexis muttered bitterly, leaving the room. I bit my lip and pushed Martha off of me, running after Alexis. I found her in the kitchen and grabbed her wrist. She paused dialing and looked up at me.
   "I know Martha's being a bitch and I'm being a dick but please stay? I know I said separate but please stay? I'm begging you. I need you. Please don't leave me?" Alexis bit her lip and glanced down at her phone.
   "I-...You're not being a dick, John. I know Martha's being difficult but-"
   "What?"
   "She's manipulating you and I'm not gonna sit here and let her-" She paused and took a calming breath.
   "What?"
   "Let her hurt you." Alexis muttered.
   "How is she hurting me?" I frowned.
   "I don't know. I just-..." She huffed and closed her phone. "It's not my fucking place."
   "I don't care."
   "I don't think that she loves you." She shrugged.
   "...What do you know?"
   "I know that looking through your phone and refusing to let you talk to other people isn't healthy behavior."
   "Alexis, you can't tell me that-"
   "John, my dad left my mom because he was cheating and she ignored all of the bull shit that he did to her because of us and I don't want that for you! I want you to be fucking happy! Martha is manipulative and fucking awful to you!" She snapped, I shifted and Alexis huffed. She started dialing again and I took her hand gently.
   "Maybe you're right but-..."
   "'She loves you'." She recited bitterly.
   "What?"
   "She doesn't love you! She's using you!" Alexis groaned, I sighed and shifted. Alexis leaned against me and I bit my lip, wrapping my arms around her waist. "I just don't want to see you unhappy." She whispered.
   "I'm not unhappy." I mumbled. "I'm fine...I promise."
   "Don't promise that." She sighed.
   "Please don't leave? I'm tired of you being away from me."
   "I am too." She sighed burying her face in my chest. "I can cook dinner?"
   "I was gonna order pizza."
   "Oh...Ok."
   "Is that ok with you?"
   "Yeah."
   "How about we go play Minecraft?"
   "I don't know if Martha will let you-"
   "I don't care. I wanna play with you. I bought you that PC so I could play with you." I smiled, she giggled a bit and I offered my hand. She took it and we stepped out of the kitchen. Martha noticed our hands immediately but I didn't care. Alexis was right...sort of. I love Martha but I should be able to be friends with Alexis. She came to America to be friends with me and I'm being unfair to her. "Hey, do y'all wanna see the game room?" I asked brightly.
   "Hell yeah!" Laf grinned, I smiled and we all headed up to the game room. "Ta da!" I smiled, Alexis carefully slid into her chair and powered up her PC.
   "Neat! Look at that!" Laf gasped. "I've been looking into building a PC. Where'd you get all these parts and stuff?" Laf asked, leaning over me and gawking at my PC. I chuckled and told him just to research stuff as I loaded up Minecraft. Alexis got in our world first and started sprinting around like a mad man. I snorted and punched her avatar when I spawned. She giggled and we started building some. I laughed as I built a small dick in Alexis' house and crouched, waiting for her to come in. She came in and her avatar stopped. She turned to me and I snorted.
   "I hate you." She muttered.
   "Aw, c'mon!" I laughed, uncrouching and jumping around her. She punched my avatar and sighed.
   "Take it down, please?"
   "Alri-"
   "Hey! This is the only dick you'll get, Alexis!" Laf grinned, she glared at him and he backed off. "It's a joke."
   "A shitty one." She muttered, I chuckled and took down the dick. We laughed and played and Martha pouted in the corner. I didn't care. I was being true to myself and having fun with my best friend.
