Coming For You

Chapter Three

Clash! Glass shatters everywhere as he is thrown through a window. That guy came out of nowhere. He feels the blood on his face as he stands up. He looks closely at his enemy standing in front of him. That is when he looks younger than what was assumed. Before he realizes it, he's knocked to the gro...

John jumps awake, nearly falling off of the bed. He looks over toward Alicia glad he didn't wake her up. What he just experienced would be hard to explain right now. He takes a deep breath and tries to calm down. The sense of it was just a dream doesn't help him that much. John takes one more deep breath before laying back down. John finds it really hard to close his eyes though, despite how tired he is. As he attempts to fall back asleep, he hears footsteps in the hallway. He sits up and sees Mikayla walk by the room. He stumbles out of the bed and heads to the living room where he finds Mikayla.

From the first second John walks into the room, Mikayla can see the tiredness on his face. She also sees a little bit of worry on his face. She knows it was a dream he had, but she was trying to find words of how to talk to John about it. Finally, she said, "What was the dream about?" she tries to be quiet since Alicia is sleeping. 

John just looks at her and doesn't answer her question. Mikayla says his name a few more times. John looks at Mikayla again and runs his hand through his hair. "I don't really know to explain it. I'll I can say is, I keep telling myself it's just a dream, but that doesn't even help me."

"Just try to explain it the best way you can."

John takes a deep breath. "All I really remember of it is the part I'm afraid about. What happened was, I was in a bar setting. I had just got pushed through a big glass window. There was a kid standing in front of me about your age. He seemed to be my enemy in it. I was looking him in the eye, then, he shot me. I didn't notice the gun, but I knew he shot me. I woke up after that. I've tried so hard to convince myself it's just a dream." John lays back on the couch. He looks more worried than he originally was. Mikayla comes over to sit beside him. Pepper follows her and lays on the floor beside John. "I'm sure this means absolutely nothing. I..I mean, it might mean something, but it probably isn't what you think it means.

"I hope it doesn't mean what I think it does. I seemed like the guy was after me. Yes, I'm an entertainer and people in the enertainment business have people thatdon't like them. But, I don't think there's anyone who hates me to that point. At least not that I know," John pauses for a second. "...except for Dave Fisherman."

Dave Fisherman is one of the two guys that kidnapped Mikayla and Pepper. They tortured them and put Mikayla down. They convinced her Alicia and John didn't care about them. Mikayla is glad she came across the people she did at the time she did. If Mikayla hadn't she would have not came to the spot John and Alicia came too those days. She would have never been able to come to realize that Dave was wrong. John mentioning that name brings her back to someone else too. That person is Bob Fisherman. Without even realizing it, Mikayla says out loud, "I wonder where Bob went." John looks at her with a very confused look. Mikayla looks up and realizes she said is out loud. "Remember the kid I talked to at that one event? He seemed like we've been friends forever?" John nods. "He came to the studio a few days before that crooked talent show. He warned me to not fall for Dave's tricks. He came up to me before Dave's henchman shot you and kidnapped me. He was telling me how I should have listened to him and then he walked off. I haven't heard from him since then."

"If he knew Dave was up to something, why didn't he try to save you himself? I mean, he probably had a thought or actually knew what Dave was gonna do. Of course, he probably didn't know bad it would be or turn out." John quickly glances at a scar on his one leg. Every time that scar is mentioned, Mikayla feels guilty. Though she knew it wasn't her fault, Mikayla still gets a small of it sort of was her fault. John and Alicia always remind her it isn't. John tried to convince her again in that moment. Like every other time, she smiles. It reminds her of how blessed she is to have them in her life.
