Better Together - (One Direction fanfic by Kaitlynn)

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

Jackie dodged out of the way as the guard reeled forward in pained surprise. Josh pushed him to the ground, "Don't even TOUCH her," he pounded his face until two other guards tried dragging him off. Josh struggled fiercely and ended up kicking one in their happy place. The guard doubled over in pain and chaos erupted. Jackie shrieked and ran to his side as the other guard backhanded Josh in the face.  Airport security was running over now, walkie talkies out. The other boys, motivated by Josh, broke free of the guards and started running with their bags towards the door leading to the plane. Scarlett, redfaced and screaming, clung to her father as he pulled out his phone and yelled for control. Jackie caressed Joshs's face gently as she kneeled beside him. Who even cared about this drama anymore?! Maybe they were better off as normal city girls. "C'mon Jackie, find your bags, hurry," Josh groaned and tried to rise. His face was scratched, his jaw was turning purple, as were his knuckles from punching the guard. She sighed and leaned down in the chaos to kiss his injuries gently, "Kisses heal booboos..." she whispered in his ear before being pulled away again by guards. The boys were stopped by security, fed up looks on their faces and bags in hand. The Kingsleys standing in the doorway, looking smug as guards held Kaitlynn and Josh again. Jackie sagged against the guard and looked around in defeat, it actually happened. Scarlett won. "Nice try," Scarlett snarled, "But I. Always. Win," she waved a hand mercilessly. Jackie felt herself being dragged away painfully along with Kaitlynn, "Josh!" Jackie twisted around to see  the boys standing helplessly and saw him look up at her, his face so defeated she felt her eyes water, "We can make it work! Just," she winced as the guard yanked her quite painfully, "don't forget me okay?" Jackie heard her voice break as Josh yelled something back she couldn't hear for some strange reason. Then she realized it was because she was sobbing rather hard. She watched Josh's helpless receding figure through blurry eyes and foggy eyeglasses, unable to control her tears. "STOP!" A commanding British voice cut through the calamity of the airport. Jackie could make out a short, suited figure walking calmly up to the Kingsleys with Paul by his side. "I'm afraid you can't do this Rob." Simon.
