My Babysitter is Johnnie Guilbert..what?!

Chapter Ten

Jessica's POV:  I woke up the next morning and felt even worse than I did before. I let my mom know I was staying home and then I checked my phone for texts from Johnnie. There wasn't anything and I didn't really know what to do so I yelled for my mom to come up to my room.

"Mom can I have Johnnie's moms number"

"Yes it's 419-234-4567"

I put the number in my contacts and then I texted her.

M is for Jessica JM is for Johnnie's mom

M: hey this is Jessica, how is Johnnie?
JM: Things are pretty rough for him right now, he's not going to school today
M: I'm still sick but do you mind if I come over?
JM: He just finally fell asleep after staying up all night come around one
M: Okay thank you

I put my phone down and decided that I might as well get some sleep.

Around noon

I woke up and checked my phone again and Johnnie still hadn't texted. My stomach doesn't hurt that much anymore but I keep going through being really hot and itchy to being really cold. Plus my throat feels like someone slid a knife down it.

M: Hey is Johnnie awake?
JM: Yes, do you need a ride over?
M: That would be great thank you

I changed into a pair of shorts and a tshirt and then headed down stairs.

"Johnnie's mom is coming to pick me up"

"Okay love you"

"Love you too"

I walked out the door and waited for his mom to get there and then she pulled up. It was another long and awkward car ride to get to his house.

"Before we go in can I ask you a question?"

"Of course"

"Does Johnnie and his dad get along well?"

"No me and him are getting a divorce soon because he treats Johnnie horribly"

"Oh"

We walked in and nobody else was home.

"He's in his room"

She led me to his room and I walked in.

"Hey" I said walking over to him.

"Hi"

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked and he shook his head no.

"He's in a better place now Johnnie, has not suffering anymore" I said hugging him and he started to cry again.

"I love you so much"

He pulled away and I kissed his cheek and he faked a little smile.

"Come on let's go do something fun!"

"I'm not up for fun"

"We can go to hot topic, we could go swimming, we could go to the park"

"No"

"Swimming will help you relax"

"I SAID NO"

"I...I'm sorry"

"GET OUT"

His mom came into the room and grabbed my wrist and led me out and I heard Johnnie slam his door.

"He needs more time" His mom said.

"What if he hurts himself, what if he's blaming himself for this"

"Jessica he will be okay"

"But what if he's not. I bet that's what you told him about his friend Sam didn't you?"

"Listen you should leave"

"No"

I walked back to his room and slammed the door open and saw Johnnie with a blade and he immediately tried hiding it. I grabbed it from under his pillow and held it in my hands.

"You can't hurt yourself Johnnie, he chose to take his life. You didn't make him do it"

"I wasn't there for him"

"It couldn't have been stopped, it wouldn't have mattered if you were there or not"

"He's dead Jessica..My best friend is dead"

I tried to hug him but he pushed me away and I felt tears build up in my eyes. He's so hurt right now and I don't know how to help him. I sat there and looked at him as he just stared into space and I grabbed his hand. He wouldn't tighten his grip on my hand but that's okay.

"Johnnie"

He looked at me and I saw the pain in his eyes and I hugged him, this time he allowed it.

"You can let it out" I told him.

He started crying and I held onto him and told him things I thought would make him feel better.

"Can we go swim?" He asked me pulling away.

"Of course, you'll have to take me to my house to get my swim suit"

He grabbed his trucks and we went to his truck and he drove me to my house. I hurried and grabbed my bikini and then got back in and we went to the public pool about fifteen minutes away. When we arrived Johnnie paid for us to get in then we went and changed into our swim suits.

"You look nice" He said and I blushed.

"You do too" I said and he smiled.

I honestly shouldn't be here still, I'm like dying from how sick I feel. I started coughing and it sounded really bad because I haven't had anything to drink today to soothe my throat.

"That sounds bad"

"I'm okay" I assured him.

We went into the pool and it was really cold but it felt good. If someone from school saw me id probably get in trouble for skipping even though technically I am sick.
