Clueless

Chapter Nine - BANG

John's POV

I leaned down to kiss her right as the song ended. I was just an inch away from her lips, I couldn't help but smirk. This is finally gonna happen.

BANG!

A barrel tipped over and Jarrett fell out of it. Marcus came out from behind the wall and busted out laughing. Abby quickly jumped away and blushed. I felt my cheeks becoming red too. Of course, they just had to ruin it.

Abby's POV

Was he going to kiss me?

BANG!

Jarrett fell out of a barrel and Marcus came out from behind it. Marcus took one look at us and started laughing. I jumped away from John and hoped it wouldn't be awkward. Stupid people....

"Jarrett!" Marcus yelled. "We almost had the whole thing!" I looked over at John completely confused. He shrugged. I couldn't help but note the hint of disappointment and sadness in his eyes. I really hoped we woulda kissed...

"What do you mean the whole thing?" John asked.

"Nothing......" Marcus said a little to quickly as he ran out of the barn doors, Jarrett not far behind him..

"Soo.. That was a little weird. Sorry bout that!" John laughed it off.

"No need to apologize. I've been here enough to know what they're like!" I said, laughing too.

"True, true." Star and Starlight decided just then that they would come back into the barns. They both walked straight into their pens and stood still. It was weird, usually it take forever for them to get that way. John and I shared a look before walking over to take care of our horses.

It took us a while before we got done. I started climbing up the ladder right away. I jumped right onto our pile of blankets. It took me about 2 seconds to notice how we now had more blankets, like 10. I smiled as I sank down in comfort. John softly laid down next to me. He laughed at me then started rubbing my back. I let out a sigh and felt completely relaxed. We stayed that way for a half hour before he laid down next to me instead. Right as his head hit his pillow, a phone went off. We both rushed around the blankets trying to find the phone. Once we finally got it I answered it as I laid down with my head in John's lap. He instantly started playing with my hair. I smiled as I said hello.

"Hello. Is this Abby Mae Merrino?" I sat up sharply. John leaned in slightly trying to hear what was going on.

"Yes, this is. Who is this?" I ask.

"Dr. Laredo. I'm sad to tell you but your mom has been hospitalized. She has cancer and we're not sure if she's going to make it. We know you aren't close to here, or her for that matter, that's why I was told to tell you over the phone." I sat there in complete silence. Once John noticed I wasn't going to talk he took the phone and walked away. I can't believe this. I literally didn't have a blood parent. Both of them are gone or practically gone. I sat completely still until John came back. I felt his hand lightly touch my shoulder and I completely broke down. I started balling. He quickly picked me up and sat me in his lap.

We stayed like that for around two hours before I felt like all my tears were gone. I looked up at John and saw he had tears in his eyes. One single one left his eye and I wiped it away. We both smiled slightly.

"Thank you," I barely whispered but I knew he heard.

"No need to thank me. I can't stand to see you like this. I hate that you have to deal with the parents you do. I hate that I have to see you cry or that you cry in general. I'm sorry that our day was ruined, I promise I'll make it up to you." John rumbled on. A tiny smile broke out on my face.

"You don't need to make it up to me, you just being you, is enough," I said, looking into his eyes. They were still bright blue, but red too. I hated that he had been crying because of me. I noticed how close we were and instantly the butterflies flew back. Then add in the fact that he was leaning in, didn't help. My stomach flipped. I started to lean in to, hoping, praying that we wouldn't get interrupted this time. He fully leaned in and my lips were met with his.

It felt better than anyone could describe. In that moment, I forgot about everything except John. I forgot about my dad, my mom, Danielle, Derek. Everything was gone except the one thing I never wanted to leave. Sparks were flying like crazy. Him, everything about him is amazing. He slightly leaned back, resting his forehead on mine. My eyes were still closed and I felt a smile coming to my lips. I opened my eyes and were met with his blazing blue eyes. His smile was a mile wide and he looked happy. I cannot describe all the feelings going on right now. Happy, sad, scared, excited, everything. But most of all, content. I was sad about my mum, extremely sad, but I was never that close with her. Mad at My dad. Happy that my brother was finally back. but most of all, Lucky. Lucky to have the best friend I do. Lucky to have just kissed John. Lucky to have the people around me now that I do. Lucky that I get John in my life.

Lucky.

John's POV

"You don't need to make it up to me, you just being you, is enough," Abby said. This girl will be the death of me I swear. She's sitting on my lap, she just got done crying, she's in one of my sweatshirts, and her hairs in a bun. She is absolutely beautiful and she doesn't know it. After she said that I noticed how close we were. Butterflies. FLIPPEN BUTTERFLIES! I honestly never got butterflies with anyone but her. I couldn't help it, I needed to, I slowly started to lean in. Once she noticed what I was doing she did to. When her lips hit mine it was like everything else disappeared.

I want to stay like this forever.
