The Boy Next Door

Johnny Lawerance

(Y/n)'s POV-

"This is it" Daniel said as we stood outside his apartment. He opened the door and walked it. I followed him, both of us still holding boxes. We walked into what I assumed was his room and I put the box on the ground. "Thanks for the help." Daniel said smiling. "Its nothing." I replied.

"So um, you doing anything later?" He asked me. "Hm, I dont know." I said in a teasing tone. He smiled and rolled his eyes. "C'mon, I know a really good diner just downtown." He suggested. "I'll think about it." I smirked. I wasnt going to play 'easy to get'. I was going to have fun with this. Daniel was cute and he seemed sweet but I liked somebody else. Couldn't hurt to tease a little though, right?

"Well if that's all you'll need, I'll be on my way." I said as I turned to walk out. "Wait..." He said quickly. I looked back at him over my shoulder and raised one eyebrow. He tried to say something but he ended up studdering. "I'll see you around Karate Kid." I said with a smile and walked out, heading into the apartment next door.

I went to my room and started to get undressed to take a shower. I didnt plan on washing my hair so I pulled it up in a messy bun.

I stepped in under the stream of water and admired how warm it was.

I was only in there for a few minutes before I heard a knock at the door. I panicked. Nobody else was here so I had to get it. But that would be kinda difficult saying I WAS IN THE SHOWER.

I was going to get dressed before I opened the door but when I heard the knock again I didnt have much of a choice.

"Uhm, just a minute!" I yelled.

I just threw on a towel and ran to the door.

I steadied myself, then opened it.

"Hey (y/n)." A familiar voice said smoothly.

My eyes went wide as I realized that I was standing at the door, in a bath towel, in front of THE Johnny Lawerance!

"You alright there?" He asked, eyeing me up and down.

I was frozen but soon snapped out of it. "Uh, yeah!" I said a bit too quickly.

I looked past him to make sure nobody else was watching.

"Mind if I come in?" He asked with a smirk.

"I... Uh... Sure?" I stuttered. I moved out of the way as he walked into my apartment.

"Um, can you just sit right here for a second, while I uh-" I stopped, motioning to my attire.

He chuckled. "Go ahead."

I quickly made my way back to the bathroom and started to change.

Before I was even finished putting on my clothes, Johnny started talking to me, through the thin walls.

"So I heard someone new moved into the building."

"Haha, yeah. They did." I responded.

"Do you know them yet?" He asked me.

"Oh, actually I was just talking to them before you showed up." I smiled, thinking of Daniel.

"Oh!" He said with a hint of disgust in his voice. "Thats him?!" I couldn't see him but I could tell he rolled his eyes.

I laughed nervously. "Um, yeah. Wait, how do you know who I was talking to earlier?"

"I have friends." He said plainly.

"Gee, stalker much?" I giggled but still kinda creeped out. "Is that all you came by for Johnny?" I asked him.

"Well that, and I wanted to warn you."

"Warn me?" I repeated.

"That boy, is no good."

"What do you mean? You havent even met him!" I was now dressed so I walked out with my hands on my hips.

Johnny stared me dead in the eyes. "He. Is. No. Good." He started. "He's a wannabe. He's poor. A Jersey kid."

"Johnny, you dont even know him. And I wont tolerate you being rude to that boy in my house. Leave." I said sternly.

"Oh come on (y/n). We both you you dont want me to leave. Just cool it." He smirked.

He wasnt wrong. But Daniel has been nothing but nice to me and I had to draw the line somewhere.

"Maybe this'll cool you off. When you wash your mouth out with soap and learn to talk and act decent I might cool off too!" I yelled as I pointed to the door.

A/n- Outsiders reference :)

"Fine!" He yelled back as he made his way to the door and opened it. "But I will tell you somethin' (y/n), you cant protect that boy from everything! Especially not me!"

"Johnny, if you hurt that kid I'll-" I was off.

"You'll do what?" He asked amused.

I was at a loss for words and he noticed so he started to leave. "Dont hurt him." I said finally.

"No promises." He smirked and slammed the door. I ran to catch up to him but when I opened the door again, he was gone.

This was NOT good.

A/n- sorry this was kinda short and Im sorry that I havent been updating a lot. It just kinda sucks when you enjoy writting something but only 4 people actually read it. It just kinda brings your mood down, y'know? Anyway, I guess im just writting it for myself so there wont be constant updates. If more people show an interest in it then maybe Ill update more often. Bye peeps.
