Chapter Twelve- Classic Feuds


*Pandora's Pov*

I woke up to John almost pushing me off the bed, he was sweating and was mumbling some gibberish. 

"No you can't have her!" Constantine yelled in his sleep, I assumed he was having a nightmare. 

I gently tried shaking him awake, when I finally did tears were brimming in his eyes and he let out a gasp for air. 

"Bloody hell, Pandora!" John yelled at me. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, he's never yelled at me like that before I thought.

"You w-were having a nightmare." I stuttered out. 

"Blimey, you didn't need to wake me up considering it's none of your business." There was a hint of snarkiness in his voice. 

"Constantine what the hell is your problem?" I asked, starting to get aggravated. 

"I don't have a problem, you're the one always getting into my bloody business." He replied back. 

"I'm just trying to help you, John." 

"I don't need your help Pandora, you don't ever seem to understand that there is no helping me." He spat angrily. 

"Fine. You don't need me then I'll just leave." My voice was stern he was about to say something before I got out of bed and slammed the door shut behind me. 

3rd Person 

Pandora started sobbing uncontrollably as she packed a small bag filled with clothes, she was going to leave she didn't know where she'd be going, or when she was going to be back but Constantine was her one chance at something good and she seemed to ruin it. She put on her cloak and grabbed the stolen time courier she had off of her dresser. 

John had heard Pandora sobbing in her room, he felt terrible he didn't even know what came over himself, something had just snapped inside him. Ever since the Gala he didn't want to hurt Pandora anymore. By the way things look Constantine thought to himself, he just ruined the one thing that was good in his life. 

Pandora decided to stay in 2019, she went to the first place she knows she'd be excepted into. She went to her mothers house, she hasn't seen her mom in years since she ran away and lived with a friend named Jasper. Pandora walked up to the door and placed a gentle knock upon it, her mother than open the door revealing herself. 

"Honey? Is that you?" Her voice croaked she was on the edge of tears. 

"Yes it's me mom." Pandora responded as her mom engulfed her into a hug. Truth is she really missed her mom, she was just too worried about the dangers that await her to endanger the woman that gave her life. 

"Well come in come in." Her mom rushed her into the door and they both went and sat on the couch. 

Back at the waverider, John hadn't come out of his room all day he felt like absolute shit. Meanwhile the whole team has noticed Pandora was no where to be seen. Sara and Ray walk into Constantine's room abruptly. 

"Constantine, you ass how did you mess this up?" Sara questioned John, clearly pissed off. 

"What do you mean?" John was confused, wondering if Pandora was alright.

"Pandora is gone, she left. Whatever you did, you need to fix it before Neron makes another trail." Sara scolded John for his incompetence.

"Since when do you care about her, she wouldn't even be here if it weren't for her magic." John spat at Sara angrily. 

"You ever think that you cause yourself misery not because of some romantic 'I was born to walk alone' crap but because you're an ass who doesn't know how to trust people?" John knew deep down that Sara was right just didn't want to admit it. 

John went to open his mouth only to be cut off by Sara again while Ray was busy touching knick-knacks in Constantine's room.

"You don't think I'm scared, that I don't know grief? I'm not willing to turn my back on life John. If you're too stupid to see that Pandora loves you to how would you put it, 'bloody' death than you my friend are stupid and blind." She ranted off at John before the pair walked out of his room. 

John really loved Pandora, he hated the feeling of those gross butterflies that would erupt in him when she was around. Or how beautiful she looked even when she was a complete damsel in distress. It was in that moment John knew he had been too harsh and needed to find her before it was too late. 

Pandora had already explained why she left home and lived with someone named Jasper to help her understand how magic worked. Then the question I was most expecting came about.

"Do you have boyfriend? Girlfriend?" She knew John and her were feuding right now but she understood where he was coming from. She chuckled and gave an incredibly big smile before she responded.

"Yeah actually I do, his name is John Constantine." Her mother smiled before asking more questions about her daughter's significant other. 

"Does he protect my baby girl?"

"Yes mom, not that he needs to, but he does." Pandora replied with another ridiculously huge smile. Then there was a certain knock at the door causing Pandora to jump in fear, how could anyway know she was there. Her mom slowly got up to answer the door as Pandora prepared herself for the worse. 

*Pandora's Pov*

 As my mother opened the door, I grew with fear until a saw a certain dirty blonde haired male with a cigarette tucked behind his ear, in a trench coat. I walked up to the door beside my mom as Constantine gave me a look, the 'I was really worried about you look'. 

"Mom this is Constantine." I told her and she gave an 'oh' look and told him to come on in.

"So you're the guy that my daughter has been smiling ridiculously about." She blew me in the water as my cheeks flushed. 

"Well she's truly remarkable, if you don't mind could I have a minute with her?" He asked. 

"Oh yes of course, I'll go make some tea!" She exclaimed enthusiastically walking away. 

I pulled John over to the side and asked the one question I've been wondering. 

"How did you find me?"

"I used that DNA spell I taught you awhile back." He told me. In order to use that spell you needed hair off the person, meaning he ate my hair. The thought of that is gross. 

"I came to apologize-" He started before I cut him off. 

"John Constantine doesn't do sorry, I know your past is rocky and it was my fault I was prying too much and I'm sorry." 

"Pandora..You're my one chance at something good, I just don't want you to get hurt again because of me. Everyone I love dies, you know I resorted to chain smoking and alcoholism as a result." He said with a slight laugh. 

"Clearly, that theory is wrong Johny. I'm still standing, and next to you and it'll be that way in hopes for a very long time." He smiled and gave me a hug while kissing my forehead. 

"Kiddos! Tea is done!" We heard my mom call out from the kitchen. 

John gave me a questionable look, "Did she just call me 'kiddo'?" 

"It's her thing don't question it." He shook his head giving me a laugh before following me into the kitchen.
