Case Closed

Real

Peony's P.O.V.

"What?"

"What? What, your the one who just showed up at my door."

"But you look stressed."

"I do not."

"You do, and tiered too."

"I'm fine, training was just hard especially on top of everything with my dad."

"Okay."

Did he have something to say or are we just gonna stand here.

"Did you want to tell me something, or..."

"Actually, I forgot what it was."

"Was it important."

"I can't remember, if I remember I'll come back and tell you."

"Okay, see you."

That was kind of weird. At least it wasn't John I guess.

I stayed in my room the rest of the day trying to figure out what was going on but I kept going around in circles. Eventually I fell asleep.

*****

"You came back."

He seemed apologetic. It was the same guy from before only this time he wasn't yelling.

"I'm sorry about yelling before, sometimes I get a little over protective."

He's truly sorry. And what's he talking about over protective I'm not his to protect.

"Look if you wanna go through the motions with John then go head-"

Saying this was causing him a lot more anger and discomfort than he wanted to admit.

"I won't stop you, and I'm done trying to warn you. But when this thing with John reveals what it actually is, make sure you don't beat yourself up too hard. In fact come to me first, we'll talk about it."

I opened my mouth and the first thing that came to mind.

"I won't sleep with you."

"Give it time, you'll come around."

He came closer and stood in front of me. His hands rested on my hips, he was going to kiss me. I know I shouldn't, but I do, I want him to kiss me. You can't cheat on John.

******

I opened my eyes but I didn't wake up in my room. I'm standing in my father's cell and he's whispering to himself. His eyes are closed and he's sitting in the corner. Legs crossed and hands cuffed. He looks troubled.

"Go away."

He wears the handcuffs as though it makes him innocent. Like he doesn't want to commit any crimes, or anymore crimes. He speaks out loud but his eyes are still closed.

Who's he talking to? It can't be me... right? But here's no one else here.

"You."

He looked me straight in the eye, and he says it again.

"Go away!"

******

I woke up in my room and John is sitting at my vanity. I sit up he turns around to face me.

"Good morning."

"What are doing here?"

"I missed you."

"It's been one day."

"I know, but we have another training today and I wanted to see if you're okay."

"I have to get ready."

  I got out of bed and started and grabbed my clothes from the cabinet.

"Are you mad at me?"

"No, what makes you think I'm mad at you?"

I sat on the edge of the bed in front him.

"Nothing, but you didn't come by yesterday."

"Was I supposed to?"

"No, but you kind of snuck off the other night."

"I just didn't wanna wake you that's all."

"So you're okay."

"I'm fine... I'm not avoiding you, and my life is still mess. I was just tired yesterday, nothing changed."

Okay fine I'm kind of avoiding you, but what am I supposed to do? I mean if you told me you were having dreams about another attractive girl, I wouldn't feel too good about it. I mean she doesn't even have to be attractive, just another girl would make me jealous, and angry and I don't know.

What if this is a test and if I don't tell John he'll break up with me when the same guy appears in his dreams and tells him what happened. And he'll move on and marry some amazing girl named Molly from Amsterdam and I end up alone because  when ever I start dating a guy I have the same dream. And this guy in my dreams just keeps getting rid of my potential husband(s). Eventually I'd give up and I accept that I'm fated die alone. All because I didn't tell John...

Nah... that's not going to happen. That's crazy.

John's P.O.V.

I wanna to give her some space to figure things out.

But how much space do I give her??? I know something happened, but I don't wanna pry if she's not ready to tell me yet.

"Okay I'll come back in 20 minutes we'll walk to the training room together, if you want."

"Okay."
