Thinking About You (Lams modern college AU)

Cut To John

I don't think I've ever seen Alex so scared like that. It's been a week since the storm, and I can still vividly remember his frightened face. He's doing better, and I like to think I helped with that.

I look at my turtle tank from where I was sitting on my bed. Duck was sleeping, John jr. was walking around, and Lucy was eating. They all looked so peaceful. They were my pride and joy.

Suddenly the door busted open. I forgot I left that unlocked.

"JOHN!" a weary Alex screamed at me. "It's Jefferson! He threatened me, he said he would hurt you if I didn't go with him, he would hurt everyone I love, so I've come to protect you because the way he said it, John, he was gonna kill you-"

"ALEX!" I yell, making him shut up. I pat the spot on my bed next to me and he sauntered over, laying his head on me.

"What did I tell you, Jefferson's messing with your head!"

"Yeah, John, but I don't want to take any risks!"

"He's not going to hurt me, ok? If anything, I'll hurt him." I whispered that last part under my breath.

"Ok. I just can't loose the ones I love. Not again."

"Don't worry. Do you mind watching the turtles for a bit? The lettuce is in the fridge."

"I don't mind, but where are you going?"

I got up and grabbed my coat and headed out. As soon as I closed the door, I answered Alex's question.

"To kick some Jefferson butt."

---------------

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the guy who stole my man." Jefferson growled, leaning against the side of the main school building.

"He wasn't yours, and never will be." I respond, fists clenching.

"I see he told you my little secret." Jefferson lifted his hand and slid it across the front of his neck.

"I'm not scared of you, Jefferson."

"Oh, but you are afraid of what i'm going to do to Alex. You're afraid there's nothing that your stupid little self could do but watch him suffer."

"I will not let you do this to him."

"Just admit you're a coward."

"I am not." I step closer to him, my teeth clenched.

"You are a freaking coward! Just like your boyfriend!"

"MY BOYFRIEND IS NOT A COWARD!"

"Ha, that ugly little pain? Of course he is! He's only good for getting me out of trouble."

"You were just going to use him?"

"What else to do? He's nothing to me. Mater of fact, he's nothing at all! Just some lost boy from the Caribbean-"

That's when I lost it.

I punched Jefferson straight in the jaw.

----------------

I returned to my dorm to see Alex holding Lucy, baby talking to her.

"John! I finally got her not to bite me!" He looked up from Lucy. "John? Is everything alright?"

"No."

Alex put Lucy back in the tank and came over to hug me. He took my right hand. He cringed and I knew he felt it. He looked at my hand.

"John, your hand is covered in blood!!!" He exclaimed like I didn't already know.

"I got Jefferson right in the jaw." I said in a low voice. Hearing what I said, he gasped, dropped my hands, and grabbed my shoulders.

"John, what in the world were you thinking! You can't just deck Jefferson! He's a man of revenge! He'll get you back, and it will be worse!"

"And ill be willing to take it. For you."
