4: Forever, Miss Clumsy (John Pearce/Justice Crew Fanfic)

Chapter 7

* Bailey’s POV *

When I heard Serenity uttered the word alone, things came popping in my mind and it all head straight into John’s direction. The girl hated me from the start because according to her, I left John, and when things were becoming good for them, I came back and stole him away from her.

And now finding out I was still alive, and John’s still with me, I was afraid that my life was still in danger. Carla may have been stuck in prison for what she did, but it didn’t stop me from still worrying. Serenity was supposed to be my sister, and yet, since we have been introduced to each other, we haven’t played that role of what sisters should do.

She wasn’t like Faith and Love who was easy to get along with. She was different, but more confident when it comes to things, especially involving what she had in mind and in her heart – mostly involving John.

“Bailey…” John nudged me as I haven’t reacted to what Serenity had said, but soon found my head slightly nodding, agreeing.

It was time to fix things, and if she didn’t want to cooperate, then I don’t need to obey her. She did say that the eldest and the youngest were usually the ones who clash anyway.

Don’t ask me where I suddenly have gotten the confidence from, but I think John and Xander has to do with it. I could always ask Xander to threaten her away, right? I think I’m at least Xander’s favourite sister.

Oh gosh no, what has gotten into me?

“You could all leave us alone.” I uttered as I felt John slowly letting go of my grip, moving me to the side so he can get out of the bed.

Together with the other guys, John went out of the room. But before they all had left, Jared’s head popped back inside and told me to shout if I needed anything, or push the button to call the nurse.

Serenity glared at him for suggesting the idea, and I might have gotten scared for him. Maybe even a bit for myself as well, but continued on.

Once Jared left for good, Serenity sat on one chair across from me. With a stern look on her face, she started her speech.

“Bailey…”

* John’s POV *

As that night had happened, things between Serenity and I have went out smoothly. She did say she understood how deep my love for Bailey was and just because I dropped Bailey to be with her, doesn’t mean I didn’t have feelings for Bailey any longer. But it didn’t even mean that I was in love with Serenity.

She was right. Her explanation was correct all along. I didn’t love Serenity, but more of used her because it was the only way I knew at that time. So when these things happened, I was surprised when she backed down that easy. She told me she understood things, but it didn’t stop me from worrying, especially now that Bailey and I were back together.

Why would she want to talk to Bailey alone?

As I thought things through, I came out with some ideas in my head. What if she was in danger and Serenity was just acting out earlier? Because in reality, she hasn’t forgiven us and wanted revenge. It wasn’t impossible knowing the girl as my heart beat jolted in the air, an alarming idea was revolting in my head.

“Xander.” I whispered, almost calling him mentally as I have Chase, Levi, and Jared sitting right next to me. They might think I was going crazy, calling my best friend who was clearly gone.

Though, he didn’t say anything or make his presence known. No one had answered to my calls, not even that guy that Slade was telling me about. Maybe Xander knew of what Serenity could do and was inside the room, watching them.
