I won't share you

Fallen Flowers

The trip back was not all that bad. It was what happened after that, that was horrible. One of them being Angie confronted Johnny. I know this because last night there was banging at my door and when I opened it I saw a familiar sight. Johnny drenched from the rain. He was crying with out thinking or asking why I just... hugged him. Booth our knees gave in and we sat in the door way holding each other. Something else happened that night. But I don't want to share it. At least not now.
The next day as I sat up in bed with Johnny's warmth next to me I heard the phone ring. Rubbing my groggy eyes I reached over to my night stand and picked up my glasses carefully and slowly putting them on my face. Every thing seemed in slow motion. I looked next to me to see something beautiful. Johnny lying next to me. The sun hit his skin making it glow. He had the slightest smile on his face. And I then remembered what had happened that night and searched for my pants and trousers. I quickly shoved them on and made my way down stairs. I quickly grabbed the receiver. "Hello?" I questioned waiting for a familiar voice.
"Hey,Morrissey." I froze. It was Liam. "You're probably wondering how I got this number? Well you can thank your friend Stephen. He was quick to spill after a bit of a beating." I could hear a muffed yell. "Now Mozzer, I have a warning for you and your fag squad."(I'm so sorry I used that word) my breathe caught. "You all better watch yourselves today. We are after you." Then the call cut out. I put back the phone receiver. I could feel the tears running down my face as I made my way back up stairs. The stairs creaked. In my head they seemed louder. Everything did. Pushing my door open I made my way to the bed. I sat on the edge. Leaning over I kissed Johnny on his lips. They were warm. He stirred.
"I'm sorry did I wake you?" I apologized kissing him again.
"No it's fine. I was the phone ringing?" He said taking my hand and intertwining our fingers.
"Yes...." how could I tell him?!
"Who was it?" His eyebrows knitted them selves.
"It was Liam, he was giving us a warning." Johnny sat up like a rocket.
"He what?!?! What did he say?!" He said squeezing my hand.
"That today we should watch out. All of us." Johnny's eyes became reflective as tears threatened to fall. I kissed his cheek."I'm sure it will be fine. We can all meet up at the diner and discuss what to do." He nodded.
"Okay I have work anyway."

As I sat at the table with everyone one o could see everyone nervously swearing. Everyone but Mike. He sat on the outside staring at the jukebox. Memories dancing through his head. Johnny came over with a tray of drinks.
"So, there after us. I think if we all stay together it will be fine... wait. Where is Stephen?" Johnny said looking around the table. Crap I forgot about him.
"They took him. They took him Johnny." I said. His face grew grey.
"That's how they New your number. Shit. " I put my hand on his. "Well for now all we can do is wait." He smiled and stood me up. "What do you say Moz. Let's dance before we get the shit beaten out of us. " I smiled.
"Sure." Johnny walked over to the juke box and a song that I grew to have the best memories for played.

"I want a boy for my birthday
That's what I've been dreaming of
I won't have a happy birthday
Without a boy to love~"

Johnny walked over and took my hand. We swayed gently. Not to the beat. Just... enjoying eachother. We danced into the night. By 12pm the diner was closing.  We filed out. Tired of dancing and laughing. That was until we heard it. The motor sounds coming up the street.  Johnny pulled me close. Hectors hang circled us. The sounds died as they all stepped off their bikes.
  "Hello guys. Miss us?" Liam said. Noel seemed more distant today. Like he wasn't really there.
  "Liam. Leave you don't want to do this." Johnny said. Mike stood on the other side of me. His hands shook. I put my hand on his shoulder.
  "Well I don't have to I want to. Also it looks like your... missing something." He said. He turned to one of this other gang members. "Get him." The nodded then walked over to a parked car. Opening the back seat I heard the muffed screaming again. When he came back he was dragging someone with him. It was Stephen. His hands and feet were tied up. His face was caked in blood and one of his eyes was swollen shut. "So let's make a trade. Well give this shit bag to you if you... give us Mike. " Liam's smile grew. It grew with hunger.
   "Are you crazy?! You think we'd just give you Mike?!" Craig yelled.
  "You'll have to take him from us then!" Johnny  was not backing down. And nether was I.
  "Then I guess I'll have too. I've been doing everything the hard way." He lifted up a gun. "Hand him over." Liam gestured with his hand.
  "I'll go." Mike's voice was heard. He stepped forward. "Just let him go. And you can have me." Liam thought for a minute.
  "Sounds good. Come on over. " mike strode forward but just as he was about to reach him.
  "You're not taking him!!" Johnny ran forward then. A gun shot. Then another? Before I knew it I was on the ground with Johnny next to me. I felt pain every where. I ignored it crawling to Johnny and holding him. He was pale. Despite everything seeming to be in a whirl when. I could see blood. I wasn't sure if it was from me or him. I heard screaming and yelling but all I could do was look at Johnny's beautiful face.
  "Johnny.... Johnny please." I brushed his cheek lightly with my hand. He coughed some blood coming up.
  "Moz. Moz is that you?" He said weakly opening his eyes. My eyes some what adjusted to where he was shot. It was right where is lung was. He was choking on his own- " Moz, Moz kiss me." Tears were rolling down my cheeks. The same went for him. I leaned down and kissed him. "Moz can I ask a request. I know(cough) it's the last thing you'll do but. Will you... sing me too sleep." I nodded. I payed us both down I took his hand in mine.
   "
Please don't cry
For the ghost and the storm outside
Will not invade this sacred shrine
Nor infiltrate your mind
My life down I shall lie
If the bogey-man should try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
To tease, torment, and tantalize
Wavering shadows loom
A piano plays in an empty room
There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight
And when darkness lifts and the room is bright
I'll still be by your side
For you are all that matters
And I'll love you to till the day I die
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Ceiling shadows shimmy by
And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey
There's sadness in your beautiful eyes
Oh, your untouched, unsoiled, wondrous eyes
My life down I shall lie
Should restless spirits try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
I once had a child, and it saved my life
And I never even asked his name
I just looked into his wondrous eyes
And said : "never never never again"
And all too soon I did return
Just like a moth to a flame
So rattle my bones all over the stones
I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns
Oh, see how words as old as sin
Fit me like a glove
I'm here and here I'll stay
Together we lie, together we pray
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Mine
Climb up on my knee, sonny boy
Although you're only three, sonny boy
You're - you're mine
And your mother she just never knew
Oh, your mother...
As long...as long...as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
As long...as long...as long as...as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
Oh... "
