The Bad Boy in Appt. 2D

Chapter Four

Elizabeth~

I woke up Sunday morning with my eyes all red and puffy from crying. I really thought Matthew was protecting me but really he's the one I needed to stay away from. It was about 9 in the morning when I woke up so I decided to wash my face and go downstairs. I walked down stairs and was really surprised by how quite it was. My mom usually got up at 6 am everyday and watched the news and whatever else was on but this time was different.

I thought maybe she lefted so I went out to the patio and saw her car sitting in her parking spot. I decided to surprise her and make her breakfast and take it up to her. I put eggs, bacon, pancakes and hashbrowns on a plate and started walking up the stairs. I knocked on her door, "Mom can I come in?" I didn't hear a reply but I walked in anyway.

She looked so peaceful while she was sleeping but I didn't want her to get into the habit of sleeping in. "Mom wake up." I shook her body lightly but i got no response. "Mom!" I screamed and shook her harder but she wasn't waking up. At this point I was freaking out. I called 911 and they rushed over.

"Elizabeth I'm sorry to have to tell you this.." I could feel tears running down my face because I knew what he was about to say. "But, Your mom passed away." I felt myself collapse to the floor tears flowing out of me like a waterfall. I ran up to my room and locked my self in there. I felt a vibration coming from my phone so i picked it up and it read, 'Lizzy I saw your mom being carried away is everything okay?! I'm next door if you need to talk. -John' 

Flashbacks of my mother not waking up kept replaying in my head. I never thought I would wake up and find my mom dead. I felt tears pouring down my face but I managed to write out my text. 'My mother passed away last night while she was sleeping..' A few seconds after I hit send I heard several knocks on my door. "Come in!" I heard the door slowly open not caring who it was I shoved my face in my moms favorite pillow and began to cry even more.

"Hey Liz I wanted to stop by and make sure you are okay." I felt John sit on the couch next me and start rubbing my back. "I know how it feels to lose your mom, Its happened to me to." I couldnt look at him so I shoved my face deeper into the pillow. I felt strong arms wrap around me pulling me up from the pillow and placing my head on his chest. "It will get better with time Elizabeth, and I am going to be there for you every second of the day. Whenever you need me just call and i'll be there." I looked up at him and smiled.

"Thank you John it really means a lot. I will be there whenever you need me to." I took out my phone and texted paige 'Hey something tragic just happened.. My mom just passed and I was hoping you and your mom can come stay with me for a bit while i recover..' I wrapped my arms around John and he held me tighter I didn't want him to let go. 

I laid in his arms and didn't realize i fell asleep on him until I woke up still in his arms. He was asleep to but I needed to pee. I stood up to wake to the bathroom and felt dizzy from standing to fast and i felt him get up with me.

"Hey sleeping beauty." I looked at him and he had a smirk plastered on his face. I was not in that type of mood so I rolled my eyes and started walking upstairs and John followed. I walked to my closet to find something else to wear because I was still in my pajama's. I wen't into the bathroom to change since John was sitting on my bed and I also had to brush my teeth.

I heard a knock on the door so I asked John to go downstairs and and answer it. "Liz some lawyer is here to talk to you!" I heard the door close and footsteps walking up the stairs so I quickly changed and walked downstairs.

"Hi I am Steven Phillips, Your mothers lawyer. I heard what happened and I am very sorry about your loss.." I looked at the ground trying to hold back tears. "But, I bring important information." I looked at Steven with a very confused look. "Your mother had already made a will, which means you have a lot of stuff coming your way." I didn't understand what he was talking about so I just nodded. "Your mother left everything up to you. You get her car, her house, and over 5 million dollars that was in her bank plus the extra million she had on her life insurance." although that was good news that I was set and didn't need help with anything, I would of rather my mom be here with me then have all the money I could ever want of need.

John knew I didn't care about the money or cars or house so he quickly walked over to me and hugged me. "Well I will let you two be, again I am so sorry for your loss." Steven started walking down the stairs and out the door and I couldn't help but to start bawling my eyes out. 

I needed to get out of the house and I really needed clothes for school tomorrow so I decided to go shopping. I had no clue where any stores where so I asked John to give me directions but he said he didn't want to leave my side at all today so he was taking me. Yay I get to have more girls give me dirty looks because I was hanging out with Jonathan Boulet. 

John and I pulled up to West field Plaza Camino Real mall. I really wanted to be alone but I was in no position to pass up a friend after what happened today. We walked threw the front entrance and the place was huge! It was like I was in heaven. We walked into the first store to the right which happened to be my favorite store ever. Hollister. I grabbed several outfits and went into the changing room to try them on.

I bought a bunch of stuff from Hollister because that's where most of my clothes are from. I spotted American Eagle and pulled John into the store. He must have saw someone he didn't want to see or someone he used to date because he ducked behind a rack of clothes. "What are you doing?" He was starring at the cashier so he didn't answer me. I just dropped the topic and continued to shop. John wouldn't walk up to the cash register with me and I was okay with that. "Thank you and please come again", the lady gave me a small smile. "Don't worry I will." I returned her smile with an even bigger one. I walked out of the store and motioned to John I was ready to leave.

As we got to the apartment complex all I could think about was my mother. I wanted to know why she left so early. Why was I being punished I didn't anything horribly bad to have all this happen to me. I felt tears pouring down my face like a water fall and I could feel John starring at me, but at this moment I didn't care. 

We pulled into the parking spot and John jumped out and opened my car door for me. When I got out of the car John grabbed my hand and locked our fingers together. His hands were a lot bigger than mine were and they were warm and I loved it. His hand in mine felt so right. 

John took the house key from me and unlocked my front door, "After you ma'am." I walked in front of him and started walking up the stairs, I heard him lock the door and follow behind. I sat on the couch and starred at a picture of me and my mom as John cradled me in his arms. I couldn't help but cry more. "I know iv'e told you this a lot but in time it will get better i promise.." John kissed my for head and I couldn't help but to smile. He was so sweet that it felt Un-real.

I walked up stairs into my bedroom and John followed, It was about 9pm and I have had enough of this day and just walked to sleep. John said he was spending the night whether I liked it or not but I knew even if he asked I wouldn't want him to leave. I crawled in bed and waited for John to get done in the bathroom, He came out and laid on the floor. "Why are you down there I promise I don't bite.. hard at least." he laughed I tried to cheer myself up as much as possible.

"Is Elizabeth Proctor asking me John Boulet to sleep in the same bed as her?" He had a playful shocked look on his face. 

"Shut up and get up here." I playfully threw a pillow at him. He got into my bed and laid next to me, He got closer to me and wrapped his tan, nicely toned, very big arms around me and instantly I felt like I had no worries or doubts in the world. I felt my self start to fall asleep and before I knew it John and I fell asleep together and it was really nice.
