Cat & Johnny

Part 10

I look at Johnny and he has a look of defeat on his face. I try to lighten the mood. "Do you want something to eat? I can cook something." He looks at me and says "Yeah, you! Come here." This damn Johnny. He is sliding another condom on, and we are back at it again up against the wall. I can't help but hear Johnny's phone vibrating on the counter. I'm sure it's Leah but the way my ass is clapping from these back strokes, I ignore it. Johnny is holding the back of my neck and kissing my back. I am so aroused. I am so turned on by him. There is nothing I would rather be doing than butt naked in my living room being fucked harder than I can stand. Johnny doesn't last long in this round. He's moaning. I haven't went round for round in so long I forgot what it felt like. When we finish we both look at each other and smile. I feel butterflies, and from the looks of it he feels them too. We both are exhausted. When we finish I tell Johnny I am about to take another shower, and we decide to get takeout instead of me cooking dinner.
While walking to the bathroom, Johnnys phone starts ringing again. I start to think to myself. Am I falling in love with this man. How could I? I'm not ready for this. Or am I? Johnny is everything I need right now from the sex to the way he makes me feel. But this whirlwind around us is getting bigger and bigger. Johnny keeps ignoring her call. I turn on the shower. I can hear Johnny talking, and he is on the phone with his cousin. His cousin starts telling him how crazy it is that Leah is out of jail already. I am thinking the same thing. I sent April a text. "I know you are tired of my shit, but what am I suppose to do friend? I like him, ALOT!" As soon as the message sends I step in the shower.
While showering I start thinking about love. How fast I've started to love someone who was a complete stranger. Now, I think about him every day. This is crazy. I know that Johnny is grieving and I know that he needs someone to comfort him. I could not imagine. Life is so crazy. Its always a lesson. It has a weird way of taking you all the way through something just to make sure you understand the importance of the lesson. I begin to think about how this just might be what I need. It's crazy, but it feels so good. I try to stop thinking so much and decide to just go with the flow.
When stepping out of the shower I hear the doorbell ring. Thinking to myself dang the food arrived fast, but I am glad because I'm starving. I start drying off my body, and I hear some loud  noise coming from the living room. It sounds like something hitting up against the wall. Something doesn't feel right. I lock the bathroom door. I text Troy, "GET HERE NOW!"
I hear Johnny scream. He begins to scream my name, "CAT! CAT!" I put on my robe and grab my pistol from my dresser. When I get in the living room Johnny is against the wall holding his stomach as blood forms a puddle around his feet. I see Leah holding a knife. She charges toward me, and without hesitation I shoot her twice. She hits the ground, and places her hand on her gunshot wounds. "You can't kill me bitch!" I kick the knife that she dropped on the floor. I rush over to help Johnny, he is breathing heavy. I use his phone to dial 911, and Leah is still on the floor screaming. The operator is trying to gather information and I am taking off my robe to give Johnny something to place on his stomach, I ask the operator to please hurry. Johnnys eyes are rolling in the back of his head. I tell him to stay with me please. I feel my eyes watering up. My heart is racing, and I feel so helpless right now in this moment. We are suppose to be preparing for Johnny's son's funeral. I don't want to prepare for his. Five minutes pass before the ambulance makes it to the door. I reach up from the floor and open it. When they come in they go toward Leah because she is still making noise but I tell them she is the intruder please help Johnny one of them comes to Johnny and the other goes to Leah. They see that they both are in critical condition, so they call for back up. I feel like I am dreaming all of this blood on the floor. Johnny starts gasping for air and he stops breathing, and they begin to resuscitate Johnny.
I pass out.
When I wake up, I am in a hospital bed with an IV hooked up to my arm. I immediately press the call button because I need to know where Johnny is. I start to panic and I start hearing a lot of beeping. They rush into the room and tell me to calm down, but I can't. I feel so weak so exhausted, but I need to know where Johnny is. The nurse tells me to calm down because I am going to do more damage. I ask her if she knows what happened, and she says she only knows some of what happened, but she will be happy to get the doctor in to help me. I start to cry because how did I end up here, how did I pass out? And where is Johnny? Part of me wants to know where Leah is too.
When she leaves I pick up the hospital phone to call April. She answers on the first ring. "Cat! Are you okay? We showed up at the house when the ambulance was taking you to the hospital. I didn't know what to think there was blood everywhere. We are in the waiting room."
I try to call Johnnys phone from the hospital phone, but it's going straight to voicemail.
April walks in, and comes to sit next to me on the hospital bed. My eyes fill with tears, "can you help me find Johnny?"
April takes my hand. "Cat, he didn't make it. I'm so sorry."
My heart sinks to the bottom of my stomach.
Johnny is dead.
I start to have a panic attack. April calls for the nurses. I can't breathe. I keep picturing him screaming my name. I tried to help him.
Leah she just wouldn't let him go. She killed him because she couldn't stand to see him move on, not with me or anyone else.
Now I'm alone again.
Helpless. I wish this was a dream. I hope this is a dream. I'm waiting to wake up.
