Johnny ~ My Confidence Is Leaving Me On My Own ~ Christ {Book3}

Johnny Christ ch 6

Jimmy's POV

I woke up and my head hurt badly so I stumbled to the bathroom to potty and see if they have any Advil. I jumped dropping the bottle in the sink as Ali walked into the bathroom. "Agh! You scared me." I pouted down at her. Man she was shorter than Johnny.. I was in a house of gnomes.. haha!

"Sorry Jimmy." She said picking up the bottle and dropping two in her palm. "Johnny may need these." She grinned handing me the bottle and leaving the bathroom. I nodded at her back and grabbed my head.. ouchy.

I took two with a sip of water and went into the kitchen cause my belly was growling. Ali was making something that smelled really good so I sat down waiting for it. "You know when we were first starting out Johnny used to cook. Grilled cheese and things like that.. well none of us knew how to tell him they were burnt so we closed our noses and ate them anyways." I said grinning and holding my nose.

She laughed then grinned at me. "I didn't know he cooked anything." She said turning back to the stove.

"Yeah, one time when we were playing in Vegas he made us all baked chicken casserole but he used the microwave in place of an oven so it burned the edges making them hard and the inside was all gooey." She laughed again and I watched Johnny glare at me as he walked to her at the stove. What was with him?.. Maybe he was upset that I told her about his cooking.. I shook it off.

"What are you cooking?" Johnny asked wrapping his arms around her waist. He looked at me then put his chin on her head. I couldn't figure him out.. 

"Just omelets." She said laughing softly. 

"Smells great." Johnny said releasing her from his hold. She grinned at him. 

"Thank you honey." I heard her say as she reached for plates. Johnny grabbed a few and handed them to her. I was probably was intruding.. maybe that was why Johnny looked at me so mean.. 

"I just remembered I have to meet Zacky for.. breakfast." I said standing. 

Johnny nodded and Ali grinned at me. "Have fun.'' She said turning back to the stove. Johnny frowned at Ali as I left the kitchen..

_______________

Jimmy left shutting the door softly.. I wonder why he left so quickly.. I filled our plates sitting Johnny's down next to mine. "How's your head?" I asked sitting next to him.

"Fine.'' He was frowning at his eggs.

"Is your omelet alright?" I asked taking a bite of mine. He nodded eating it slowly. What was wrong with him.. maybe he needed a day to sleep off his headache.."I was thinking of helping shop for Stacy's going away cookout tomorrow." 

"Fine." He said staring at his plate.. 

"Is something wrong Johnny?" I asked sitting my fork down.

"No."  He pushed the food around on his plate.

"Then can you answer me with more than one syllable?" 

He got up from the table and walked away. "I'm tired." He went into his room and shut the door leaving me at the table alone with our barely touched plates.

I wiped at the tears filling my eyes as I left his apartment.. I didn't know what to do... had I done something wrong? I was going to give him a little space.. Britt grinned at me when she picked me up to go shopping  I smiled sadly getting in with her.. it might be a long day..

Britt put her hand in my face waving it in front of my eyes. "HELLO! Ali? Is anyone there?"

"I'm sorry." I said looking up from the floor. I couldn't believe the way Johnny had been acting. Did he remember telling me he loved me?... My stomach twisted making me feel sick.. was he done with me.. NO I wouldn't let him treat me like some over night ..

"Let's go to the decorations." Britt said gently pulling my arm, I followed trying not to think. "Do you think we should go one color or like rainbow effect?" 

"It's up to you." I said shrugging. I picked up one colorful paper lantern and pretended to think about it. 

"I was thinking colors because these lights with the table decor would be gorgeous." Britt pointed to the various colorful table decorations. "Look at these!" She said excitedly. 

"What are they?" I asked frowning at the pink paper things.

"They are lights that float in the water. But the're only pink so we'd have to go pink.. do you think we should get them?" She asked biting her lip. 

"Whatever you want." I said setting the lights down. She nodded leaving me alone as she walked down the isle looking over everything. I loved Johnny so much.. I wonder what he's doing.. 

"Ali! Come look at these." I went over to Britt and looked at where she pointed at the same lights only smaller and in different colors. I nodded and she loaded them into her cart. Johnny.. "What about these?" Britt pointed to plastic plates and cups in various shapes, sizes and colors.

"Those are perfect." I said nodding. She grinned stack them in the cart. 

"Could you go get another cart?" she asked pulling boxes down to look inside. I nodded I wanted a minute to myself.. I just needed a breath.

I pushed out the front doors watching people walk passed me. Some were looking at me like I was crazy... 

_________

I helped Britt and Matt unload all the bags of decorations, food, and 'the gift' that was so important that I was sworn to secrecy. "Thanks for going with Britt, Ali." Matt said grinning and wrapping his arm around her waist. 

"No problem." I said smiling and walking to my door.. Something I hadn't thought about was .. was I supposed to stay here tonight?.. what about Johnny?.. When would I see him again?.. I closed my eyes as my emotions were at war. "I'm going to bed." I said opening my door.. 

"What about your dinner?'' Britt asked putting her hand on my door frame.

"I'm not hungry." She nodded sadly and let me shut the door. I sat on my bed hugging my pillow against my chest. I wanted to see Johnny.. maybe he was feeling better.. 

I swallowed remembering his words of love.. I knew he loved me no matter what happens I will always have that.. The knock on my door didn't surprise or startle me.. I knew Britt would want answers.. I sighed getting up off the bed. "Listen Britt-" I cut off my words looking at Johnny. He was smiling at me holding his hands behind his back. "Johnny? What are you doing here?''

"I came to apologise. I had a hangover and took it out on you.. I'm sorry.. can you forgive me?" He produced a large box of chocolates and a handful of roses. 

I felt the tears well up as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. "Yes.. I forgive you!" I said hearing him laugh my favorite laugh made the butterflies dance in my stomach. 

I kissed him several times all over his cheek quickly . "I brought you a vase." I hear Britt say after she cleared her throat. I grinned at her and she smiled adding. "Dinner will be ready in twenty minutes." 

"Thanks." I took the vase from her and she left us alone. I put the roses in the vase of water and sat it on my night stand. Johnny sat on my bed holding the chocolates. I sat with him opening the box of chocolates and putting one in my mouth. 

"You got a little.." Johnny reached out wiping the melted chocolate from my lip and leaned down kissing me..
