In Love With Mr. Doggy (Skillet Fanfic)

Chapter 37: Korey's Awakening

Korey's POV

I suddenly woke up from my comatic state. It felt like ages!

Wait... am I already old?

I checked my hands. Phew! They're not wrinkled up.

"Oh my gosh, Korey! You're awake!" Jen came into my room and hugged me tightly.

"I'm not yet old, right?" I asked her to make things sure.

"Of course not! It's only been a week. I'm so glad you're finally awake!"

"Me too, Jen! Where's my Johnny?"

Jen's beaming smile faded. "Kor... Rica ruined our reputation."

"What?! How?"

"I came back from a vacation yesterday and I watched the news. They flashed two footages. One was me and Rica fighting. The other one is... you won't like it."

"Come on. Tell me!"

"A video of Rica and John... smooching."

This was the thing I feared most- John cheating on me. He cheated on me with my best friend! Hoe could they betray me? Did they think that I will never recover from my coma and they're free to cheat? They thought wrong!

"Jen, where is he right now?"

"He's in a hospital a few miles from here."

"Why?"

"I dunno. Ben told me." her voice was shaking.

"And with whom?" I raised my eyebrow.

"With Rica as usual."

"That's it! I'm going to pay the bills now. We need to head there."

"But Korey, you just woke up."

I didn't listen to Jen. I called the nurse and told them to release me.

*TIME SKIPS TO THE OTHER HOSPITAL*
"In what room is John in, Jen?"

"Room 7 on the 4th floor." she lazily responded.

Jen seems antsy. I can sense that she's keeping a horrifying secret from me. What could it be?

We got to an elevator and I got the courage to asked Jen what she's hiding. Whatever it is I have to know.

"Jen, will you tell me what is it that you're hiding? You're making things hard for me. Spill. The. Beans." I demanded.

"You won't like it, Ko-Kor."

"I need to know!"

"Kor, please! I can't!" Jen was in the edge of crying. Her face was reddish in color.

"Is it-?"

The elevator doors opened which cut me off. I ran to John's room. I'm yearning for him so much!

I miss those captivating eyes of him.
His sweet scent of sweat.
His wonderful touch.
His strong muscles.
His beautiful tattoos.
His magical kisses.
And most of all, his love.

I shakily swayed the door open. Jen followed behind me and closed it. We need to be careful. We don't want anyone to know what's going on with our personal lives anymore. We had enough of it!

John was sleeping and Rica was rubbing HIS HANDS!

"Get away!" I yelled without thinking twice that I might interrupt John.

Rica backed away from him and I replaced her position.

"John, wake up please. I'm here... your angel is here."

John's eyes fluttered open. Those lovely orbits shining like a starlight that gave me a refreshing feeling.

"Korey..." his throaty voice was weak.

"Baby, what happened to you?"

"Korey... Korey..." John's eyes were soon flooded with tears.

He brought my hands on his chest and hugged it. This action is very unsual for John. He only does it in a very rare situation. Especially when he has a dilema. Wait does he have one? What the actual junk is going on here?!

"Jen, tell me everything! Every. Single. Thing." I commanded.

Jen sighed and said, "John has a brain tumour. He fractured his head and we still don't know how."

Brain tumour?! How did he fractured his... head? Could it be...? Could it be me causing him this pain?

The flashback hit me like a thunder, guilt striking my heart. John banged his head on the wall the last time when we had a fight about Rica. And all I could do was to stare at him.

Jen's POV

"It was all my fault... everything... fault... fault..."

I shifted my looks to Korey. What is she muttering about? It isn't her fault. It's obviously Rica's.

I patted her back. "Kor, none of this is on you. Right, John?"

John nodded and caressed Korey's cheeks. Korey backed away instantly. I was surprised by her sudden move. She always likes it when John does that.

"You don't understand! Any of you! I'm the one who did this."

"You bashed John's head?" I felt alerted.

"No! I'm the reason why John did this. He beats himself up whenever I get angry on him. Instead of him hurting me, he would hurt himself. But this time, it got out of hand. And all I did was to stare at him while he's doing all those distasteful junk! Even our kids saw it! I wasn't a good mother."

Korey teared up and embraced John. John couldn't do anything but to blink and blink and blink. I know that he's sorry. I can see it in his eyes. Now to make Rica pay for everything she had done!

I moved towards the pathetic little jerk and slapped her across her cheek. She didn't do anything nor she reacted. I want her to fight!

"C'mon! Is that all you got?" I insulted her

"Jen, stop it! You're making an another huge scandal." John groggily scolded.

Once again, I acted all stubborn and hit Rica one more time. Still no reaction. Oh well, she deserves it anyway. I jabbed her nose. Blood flew down from it.

"Aaargh!"

John began wriggling on the hospital bed. The connections on him were loosening.

"John, please! Stop panicking!" Korey tried to restrain him.

John was incredibly strong! He pushed Korey away and pulled the dextrose away from his hand. He kicked the door open, the thing hit the wall and broke. Great, we have so much to pay for. John ran outside the hospital and no one was able to stop him.

"What the heck?! Where is he going?" I was worried about him.

"Goodjob, Jenny!" Korey glared at me.

Darn it! I wasn't thinking about the consequences! Of course it will damage John too much because he's sick.

"I'm not finish. You're going to pay... the both of you are!" Korey added.

Oh this is great! My bff is mad at me!

She called for a police to track John. What is that guy going to do? I can't help but to think. He better not do anything stupid like killing himself, right? He won't, I guess. John is an optimistic dude. He won't do such things like that. I wish that I'm correct.
