Chapter 16
(Caspian)
I hopped out of the pool before glancing up at Johnnie's window, the sight of her light being turned off made my stomach ache before letting out a sigh.
F**k..today has been one of the worst days I have had in a long time. I just can't get the image of her flirting with someone else out of my head...I know it's hypocritical..I know I'm a huge a*s for all the s**t I have done to her..I just pray to God I can fix this somehow. I honestly just don't even know where to start.
Maybe I should go up there and confess everything..tell her I have been a complete a*****e and all the things I said weren't true..that I wanted so badly to hate her but now I just want to say f**k it and do something for myself for once. Would Johnnie understand? Or have I gone too far..
I walked over to the table where I left my phone and quickly picked it up.
That's when I saw a few texts..a couple from Ava who I broke up with the day before we left..and then a few from Milo. I thought he already went to sleep..
From Milo: Dude..don't be mad..
The first started, making my jaw clench immediately as I scrolled down to the rest.
From Milo: Johnnie and I might've gone to the party..
What the f**k did he just say?!
Without even reading the rest, I quickly pulled up his number and hit call.
"Hey.." He answered sheepishly as the sound of music pulsed in the background.
"Where the f**k is she." I barked..he knew how I felt about Johnnie..he has always known..that's why he would say s**t to try and break me. Even at the airport he was trying to make me f*****g crack.
"I think Charlie just took her upstairs..I lost her for a moment but then I saw him go up with some chick..I can't find her or anyone else...this place has gotten out of control." Milo began to panic as I tried so damn hard not to flip the hell out..I could tell he was drunk and freaking too.
"I will be there in a minute..don't f*****g move." I said, not even waiting for him to tell me where the party was because I already knew..that blonde chick from earlier tried to get me to go with her and I said hell no..
I know the guy who is throwing it..Rj..he used to sell my brother weed and is bad f*****g news.
I grabbed my t-shirt before slipping it on and began running down the street without f*****g shoes.
No way in hell am I going to let Johnnie do this..she is going to regret it, especially if she is f*****g drunk.
I could hear the music from here, wondering how the hell the cops hadn't been called yet as I made my way to the house. I quickly jogged across the lawn, ignoring the lingering stares from women and men alike as I burst through the door. That's when I saw a sea of bodies and Milo was stuck in the middle..he gets sensory overload..nobody really knows this but in large crowds, he becomes super anxious and even has panic attacks..so I knew I had to get him out of there. I pushed my way through, batting away random girls as I finally made my way to him and gripped his arm. "Which way did they go?" I asked, making Milo look up at me with awe as I started tugging him to the stairs.
"Over this way." He finally spoke after we were able to get through the crowd of half-naked bodies.
This place was insane..people were making out in every corner as a fight suddenly broke out in the kitchen. We bounded up the stairs, taking two at a time as a long hallway with like ten f*****g doors came into view..shit.. I went to the first one, luckily it wasn't locked and I shoved it open.
"What the hell!" A guy with red hair yelled as a brunette continued sucking him off, not even noticing the intrusion.
It went like that for the next five damn doors..and I was getting pissed..
Then I heard a guy yelling out in pleasure..the Australian accent was pretty damn obvious as panic coursed through me..
I rammed into the door, making it break open as I saw the Aussie thrusting in and out of someone, making my heart shatter.
"Johnnie." I yelled, feeling Milo behind me as the girl turned and screamed..then I realized it wasn't Johnnie..no, it was that brown-haired chick from earlier at the pool.
"What the hell man!" Charlie yelled before grabbing a pillow and covering his junk.
"Where the hell is Johnnie?!" I asked angrily, wondering where the f**k she was.
"How the hell should I know man? She went and threw up all over herself, might want to check the bathroom..now get the hell out, man." He yelled and I didn't waste a second before turning and leaving. I could feel the relief flood through me as I looked towards Milo who looked like he might just throw up as well.
Then I realized that was the girl he was into.
"Come on, let's find Johnnie then go home." I said before dragging him down the hall to where I guessed the bathroom must've been.
The door was locked and I began to panic..what if she threw up and passed out in it or something?! Or if some guy went in there after her!
I rammed my shoulder into the door, that desperation returning full force as I finally heard it crack before swinging open. "Johnnie!" I called out, looking in the bathroom and not seeing her anywhere as stomsch twisted and hen I heard a groan, making my heart leap into my throat as I stepped forward.
I lifted my hand and pulled the shower curtain back and sure enough..there she was.
"For f***s sake." I breathed out, feeling all that fear slip away as Johnnie's big grey eyes fluttered open before meeting mine.
"C..Caspian..what are you." She grumbled and I didn't even hesitate..I could tell she threw up all over herself, but I didn't give a s**t.
"Come on, let's go home." I spoke softly before scooping her in my arms and holding her as she clung to me like a little koala.
"I threw up.." She said, making me stifle a laugh as I held her tightly against me.
"I know.." I stated before tugging Milo along with me.
"The Aussie wasn't into me either..he was just trying to make that other girl jealous.." She mumbled, the sadness in her tone making my chest ache.
"Did you really like him that much?" I asked, making her pause for a moment before answering.
"No..I guess it just felt nice to be wanted for once." She muttered as I weaved us through the crowd, still holding onto Milo's arm as well as I led us outside.
I guess there is one benefit to being such a large guy..everyone moves the hell out of the way so they don't get run over. Once we were outside, I took a deep breath of fresh air as Milo stumbled behind us.
"Do you need a moment dude?" I asked, seeing his face go pale as he nodded his head before stumbling to a nearby bush. "What did you guys drink?" I asked, wondering why the hell they were both f*****g wasted. "Something called jungle juice.." Johnnie giggled before snuggling into me.
"Do I stink?" She suddenly asked before pulling back, the most adorable pout now forming on her lips as I felt my heart flutter.
"No, you smell great." I lied, not wanting to hurt her feelings.
"Liar." She called me out before nuzzling back into my neck. Feeling her this close to me felt so f*****g natural..it was crazy..I felt like my sting was tingling from everywhere she touched me.
"Th..thanks for coming for me though... my mom will be pissed." She exclaimed while popping the p on pissed.
"Well, I'm pretty pissed..so you will have to deal with that instead." I declared, making her pull back and blink her eyes. "What will you do? Spank me again?" She teased before giggling once again..and I tried so damn hard not to smile..she was being cuter than ever. "I will do exactly that..but not until you sober up..that way you can feel the full extent of your punishment." I said firmly, making a shiver tremble through her as she searched my gaze before swallowing hard.
"You are so mean." She pouted, making me unable to stop the laughter from spilling out. Since when was she such a brat? "Me not spanking you now is mean?" I asked her curiously and watched in amazement as she nodded her head yes. "You just like to torture me..I don't know why you hate me so much..aren't I a good girl Caspian?" She asked, her voice sweet and sad all at the same time as I pulled back to look at her once more. Her words made my heart ache..
"Yes..usually you are a good girl Johnnie..but tonight you were very bad." I stated, knowing she probably wouldn't even remember half of this tomorrow, especially with the way her head was lulling from side to side. "You good Milo? We have to go back." I said, watching as Milo nodded his head before stumbling out of the bushes. "I am never drinking again." He groaned, and I started walking us back again. That's when I brought Johnnie to my room before placing her on the bed and told her not to move before I went down and practically dragged Milo to his bed before throwing him on it.
I hurried back to my room, worried about Johnnie as I suddenly heard the shower going in my bathroom, making me freeze.
I reached for the handle, taking a deep breath before walking in.
"Are you okay?" I asked, trying to keep my eyes locked onto hers as I saw she was naked and sitting in the shower.
"I..I threw up again." She groaned, prompting me to examine her f*****g breathtakingly gorgeous body..shit..no..behave yourself..
"Let me help you okay?" I spoke softly before opening the glass door. I could see the throw up in her hair as I grabbed my shampoo and began washing it.
I watched in awe as she leaned back into me, letting me help her as I decided just to do her hair..
I was not going to be a f*****g perv...
I quickly rinsed her hair out before turning the water off, helped her stand and wrapped a large towel around her. She was so small and cute...
"Here Jo, let me brush your teeth." I said before lifting her up and placing her on the counter.
I grabbed the extra toothbrush we had in here for guests as I wet it and began brushing, her big eyes just watching me intently.
"Do..do I smell better now?" She asked and I just nodded my head yes before tucking her hair behind her ear.
"Come this way, let me get you some clothes." I declared, pulling her to my bed and quickly shoved one of my shirts over her head and watched as she flopped back.
She began to giggle as I grabbed a bottle of water and helped her sit up once more, making her drink.
"There, now you are ready for bed." I whispered, my palms gliding across her cheek as her eyes drifted up to my lips, making me freeze.
Then before I knew what was happening, Johnnie pressed her lips to mine, her eyes closing tight as she kissed me roughly before promptly falling back onto the bed and raised her arm above her head, pointing to the ceiling. "See! I can get my first kiss..screw you Caspian..other hot guys obviously want me." and then she passed out..what the f**k was that?!
