Emotions all around


“What do you mean you want to go home? Do you want to leave me?” John said sadly.
 “No John I don’t want to leave you I really don’t but you have to understand I miss my family so much and I’m so sick and tired of this stinking place it’s not funny.” She told him as the tears were still falling.
Still kneeling he put his hand on her cheek and said, “Sweetie I can understand that really I do and you’ll be going home in a few days right? But I want you to come back I know it’s selfish of me but I’ll miss you like hell if you didn’t and well I’m...(John started to choke up) I’m not ready to give up just yet.” He told her as he took her hand and kissed it.    
“No it’s not selfish of you because I don’t want to leave you either John. I was thinking how the hell when this program ends how I could extend this thing by coming up with maybe an aneurysm or something.” She said smiling. That even made John laugh and the both of them got into a fit of giggles.
As they were laughing Marsha walked in with Dr. Chan.  “Well it looks like John put you in a better mood. Dr. Chan has some good news for you.” Marsha told her.
“Oh whoopee!” she whispered to John. He just gave her a dirty look.                                                                  
 “Yes Ellie if you promise especially when you are home for the next two weeks and I’ll know because I’ll be in contact with your parents that if you do everything on this list we’ll let you go home. You need to stay hydrated and to eat regularly. And salt must be in your diet I know that sounds strange but with you it will help raise your blood pressure and help your fainting spells otherwise we’ll have to put you on salt pills. We are going to put you on iron so Marsha will get you those before you leave today. Stay on schedule with everything and when you get back we’ll check you to make sure everything went well. Now Marsha if you come with me we’ll get her paperwork and her meds set and make an appointment for when she gets back. Ellie you can get dressed and when Marsha gets back you all can go.” Dr. Chan told them.
When they left Ellie just looked at John and asked him, “So what was the dirty look for?”
“Oh that you were acting like a smartass. What if they heard you?” John asked her.
“Oh please what the hell do I care? I just want to get the hell out of here.” She told him getting annoyed again.
“Are you going to start swearing again? Because that’s so attractive on you.” He said sarcastically.
“Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black mister?” she asked him.
“No you don’t guys are supposed to swear nice little girls aren’t.” he told her tapping her nose.
“Bite me!” she told him.
“Where?” he said smiling.
“Look I know I swear a lot ok? I just try not to around my folks and if I do I don’t use the “F” word. In fact none of us do and that includes Daddy. Mommy doesn’t like it so nobody but nobody says it in front of her got it! And I’II try only to say hell and damn in front of them. Maybe when I get older I might but right now that’s all I say. We don’t want to get into trouble. But I’m not home so there you go!” she told him.
“Well why don’t you pretend and act like the nice little girl that I met.” He asked her making a kissy face at her.
“Well why don’t you take that statement and shove it up your cute little ass.” She told him right back.
John just stood there and couldn’t believe the girl he was falling in love with had a mouth on her and that he never heard it before this. In fact he really didn’t know that much apparently about her as she didn’t know that much about him. “Are you mad at me?” he asked her shocked.
She looked at him as she started to get out of the wheelchair. John went to help her and took her arm. She looked him in the eyes and said. “Yes and no.” she told him.
Wrapping his arms around her, “Then could you please tell me what I did because I’m a guy and I don’t always get things.” He told her as he then gave her a little kiss on her lips.
Making a sad face she looked up at him, “Because you think I’m Miss Little Goodgirl. Never does anything wrong, does what she’s told, oh and let’s not forget she’s sick so we have to be extra careful with her. I thought you were different but I guess I was wrong. The second you stepped foot in this place and saw what I go thru BOOM! They got to you too.” She told him sticking her head into his chest.
John started to rub her back and was smiling. Then kissing her on top of her head, “Hey they didn’t get to me ok? And I’m sorry for teasing you about the swearing but it just threw me off guard that’s all. I mean I’ve heard you swear before but not like this and it was just well it was funny ok. Forgive me?” he asked her.
Looking up at him she gave him a smile and he couldn’t help himself and leaned down and kissed her as if his life depended on it. She was taken aback by this and her heart was pounding a mile a minute.
When they separated she told him, “You know if they took my blood pressure right now I think they would be very happy.”
“Why?” he asked.
“Because for the first time since I’ve been in here I think it’s finally high.” she said smiling.
“Come on you need to get dress so we can get you out of here. Where are your closes?” he asked her. She told him they were in the closet and he went and got them for her. “Do you need help?” he asked her.
“I don’t think so but you probably shouldn’t go anywhere. Um if you don’t mind you could stand guard so I can get dressed right here in case I feel faint you know that way I won’t hurt myself.” She asked him shyly. He smiled as he told her that he wouldn’t go anywhere. She took off the little robe they gave her then John helped her untie the back of the johnnie she was wearing. He helped her slip it off as she stood there in nothing but her panties. She went and picked up her bra off the bed as John just tried so hard not to stare at her the way he did that night they shared together. He loved the way she looked, her cute body, the way her body curved and as he was standing there he didn’t hear her when she was asking him to help her.
“John? John!” she said loudly.
“Huh? Oh what Baby, I’m sorry.” He said apologetic.
“Are you alright?” she asked him while trying to hold her bra in place.
“Yeah I’m fine, you need me to fasten that?” he asked.
“Yes please.” She said as she turned around still only standing in her panties and now bra. John just kept praying that he wouldn’t show just how aroused he was because he didn’t want to get caught by Marsha in this state.
“There how’s that?” he asked her secretly wanting to throw her on that bed and too well…oh he had to get those thoughts out of his head and fast.
“Great thank you.” She said as she grabbed her jeans and put them on then her shirt. John sighed a big sigh of relief as she reached for her sneakers. It didn’t take long after that for Marsha to come back with the paperwork for her release and they were out the door.    
*********************************************************************
Once they got home Marsha got them settle out in the back yard. After they were alone John got up and went to Ellie and told her to move so he could get behind her so she could sit in front of him on the lounge chair. This way he could wrap his arms around her. He started chuckling and she looked up and behind her and asked, “What’s so funny?”
“You, you nearly killed me back there at the hospital when you were changing. I thought I was going to die when you were standing there in your underwear Babe you were so beautiful all I wanted to do was throw you down on the bed and well you know.” He told her as he kissed the top of her head.
Smiling, “I thought you said everything was ok. If I didn’t think you couldn’t have handled it I would have changed in the bathroom.” She told him as she gave him a little smirk but she didn’t know if he saw it or not.
John thought for a moment then it dawn on him, “Wait just a second. Did you freaking change in front of me on purpose?” he asked her a little shocked.
Shocked that he would even ask such a question she answered back, “I’m shocked that you would accuse me of such a thing John. I’m a good girl remember?” she said giggling.
“Yeah right.” He said as he started to tickle her.
“John No! Stop please! Cut it out!” she kept yelling as she was trying to wiggle out of his grip. But it was no use. He was enjoying this too much.
“Say Uncle! No better yet say Master!” John told her.
“Are freaking kidding me! Come on please stop!” she yelled again begging him.
“Nope say it,” he said laughing.
“Fine Master! Master! Now stop!” she yelled as tears were running down her cheeks. John finally stopped and hugged her tight as she asked him, “What the hell is it with you guys and the word Master. Are you a big I Dream of Jeannie fan or something?” she asked him still breathing hard.
Laughing he put his lips to her ear and whispered, “You’ll find out soon enough.” She looked at him strangely trying hard to get what he just said to her. So he said to her, “Well you did tell me not to make fun of you when you didn’t get things didn’t you?” as he was smirking at her.
“Yeah…” was all she said as she was wrecking her brain trying to figure out what he was trying to imply. What the hell did that have to do with anything with sex? John knew she was having a hard time trying to figure this out and now understood why she asked him not to make fun of her, this was just to priceless. But what made matters worse he was picturing her in Jeannie’s outfit. Oh God this is not good. Suddenly Ellie could feel John’s happiness underneath her.  “John I give up and I know it means something well you because well you know you’re kind of well…” she was really trying to get the words out.
“Yeah I know, I’m sorry Ellie but when you said I Dream of Jeannie I kind of pictured you in her outfit.” He told her as he started to blush.
“You did what?” she asked him and as she did that BINGO! The lights came on and she realized what he meant by his statement. “Ohhh I get it now John Francis!” she squealed to him.
Laughing now, “Well it took you long enough. Now come here.” He told her as she leaned in on his lap very carefully and he kissed her like he was making an imprint of it. He wasn’t going to let himself forgot how she kissed, how she tasted or how she felt because she was going to be gone for two weeks. “God you’re killing me you know that right?” he said to her as he held her tight.
Tucking her face into his neck, “I love you too.” She told him.
“Are you staying home the next two days or going back to the clinic I forgot to ask.” John asked her.
“Nope staying here then on Friday the car is picking me up in the afternoon and taking me to the airport why?” she asked him.
“Oh no reason I just have this hot chick I want to see and I want to make sure she’s going to be in her adopted home before she leaves me for a while.” He said smiling.
“Wow you got two girls leaving on Friday. Yeah I guess I’d pick the hot one too.” She said making a face.
“Oh ha ha very funny. When you get back I am so going to teach you a lesson young lady.” He whispered in her ear as his lips just dusted them just perfectly so it gave her a shiver down her spine. Chuckling, “You ok Baby?”
“Huh? Yeah, yeah fine. Don't do that! Jeepers Marsha’s right in the house John. “she told him all hot and bothered as he just laughed at her. “And what did you mean by that comment?” she asked him.
“I’ll tell you when you get back and show you also ok? So let’s just leave it at that. It will give you something to look forward to when you get back.” He told her hugging her tight.
“Fine but um when can we have time together like we had that night other night?” she asked shyly.
“You liked that Huh? Well I can tell you Ellie honestly that was the best night in my life. I just wish I could wake up with you every morning.” He told her kind of staring off into the distant and stroking her leg.  “When you get back I’ll try and arrange something again so we can be together I promise.” He told her wanting that just as much as she did. 
“Yeah that would be great just you and me again.” She said snuggling into him.  He just smiled as he had a little bit more in mind but he would get into that later. He’s hoping that when she gets back that she’ll be on the same page as he is. He knows he’s a little bit more sexually active than she is and he doesn’t want to scare her off but he does feel it’s getting time for them because he’s trying so hard to stay loyal to her and it’s been months since he’s had sex with anyone.
They were together for the last couple of days just hanging out much to the chagrin of his parents. Marsha would take the kids to the park so they could get some alone time in knowing that they wouldn’t see each other for a while even thou Michael told her not to take her eyes off of them. They just mainly kissed and cuddled knowing they couldn’t do much more but it was driving John nuts that he couldn’t do more than that. He so wanted to really hold her and touch her and say goodbye to her the way he wanted too. And on this day Thursday he brought over a special gift with him.
“You didn’t have to get me anything silly.” She told him all excited.  
“Yes I did you’re turning seventeen next week and I won’t be there so Happy Birthday Baby.” He said as he kissed her lovingly.
Trying not to cry when they separated, “Oh John Thank You.”  She told him as she started to open it.
Standing there anxiously waiting for her to open it he was ready split in two. When she unwrapped the box and then started to open the box she let out a gasp. There sitting in the box in cotton was a beautiful pin in rhinestones that said Elvis.  She just started at it like it was a million dollars. He wasn’t even sure if she was breathing. “Ellie? Ellie do you like it? Are you ok? Talk to me Babe.” He said concerned.
Looking up at him there was tears in her eyes, “John it’s beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Where did you get this?” she asked him.
“I have my ways. So I take it you really like it then?” he asked her smiling.
“Uh Huh, I can’t wait to show Marsha and Michael, oh and my parents and my brothers and sister.” She started to ramble.
“Ok I get it, how did I know you were going to like this.” he said laughing.
“Stop. You know you really didn’t have to get me anything.” She said to him as she wrapped her arms around him.
“OH yeah right not get my girlfriend anything for her birthday that would have gone over big.” He told her smiling and then laying another kiss on her. This kept going on until Marsha came home from the park with the kids. Ellie was so excited about the pin she couldn’t help but show it off to her. John was so glad he made the right choice. To see her face light up when he gave her that was everything.
Marsha hated to bring down her mood but she knew she had to. She had to remind Ellie to make sure that her bags were packed with everything that she needed so Michael could have it ready to get it in the car for tomorrow so they can head out to the airport. “I’m all set Marsha I finished this morning.” She told her.
John went out and brought take out back to the house so they could eat dinner together one last time before she left. Nothing special just hamburgers from his favorite take out spot. Michael and Marsha left them alone on the patio most of the night but it was killing Carol that she couldn’t see them the way the patio was situated. John Sr. told her to never mind and to leave it and that he should be home shortly. It had killed her too that he had spent the last few days with her over there but hopefully things would change in the next two weeks.  With things getting really late around midnight John told her goodnight and went home.
When he walked in quietly he was met by his Mom who was still up. “Well you decided to finally come home.” She said to him not so nicely.
John winced and really didn’t want to get into right now with her. “Yes Mom I finally came home. Funny it’s earlier than I’m used to but I’m home.” He shot back at her.
“What did I say about being a smartass.” She told him.
“I’m not I’m just answering your question Mar. Can we not do this please? I’m tired and I want to see Ellie off tomorrow so can I just go up to my room ok?” he asked her tiredly.
“Fine go I’ll be right up myself.” Carol told him. He quickly ran upstairs not wanting to get into anymore with her and shut his door. Carol locked up and just prayed that everything would work out the way she wanted and that he would eventually understand if he ever found out. It was for his own good only because she knew his potential and that he would be what he wanted to be.  
**********************************************************************
Friday came and the kids woke Ellie up by running in her room and jumping on her bed. They wanted to spend the morning with her so Marsha had made breakfast for the four of them so they could go to the park. They stayed there for a couple of hours and finally came home around noon time. When they got home sitting on the porch waiting for them was John. The kids were the first ones to run to him and he happily greeted them back. John was great with them and Marsha was always grateful for that but she knew the two of them wanted to spend what little time they had before Michael got home early to take Ellie to the airport. She hustled the kids into the house and John and Ellie went out back to their usual spot out back.
“So I haven’t told you this but my folks are making me get a day job and they want me to pay rent. They said they believe in me but want me to have something else that makes quote “real money” unquote.” He told her using his hand jesters.
Ellie didn’t want to seem unsupportive but she had to say something, “John I do understand what they’re saying thou.” Was all she got out before he looked at her with a shocked look on his face.
“Ellie what the Hell! It’s going to be a Bitch as it is trying to do both when I come in at two to three a.m. then have to get up at God only knows and stay at whatever time and run to my gigs!” he jumped down her throat without listening to her.
“John! Stop it! You can’t tell me something and not get my opinion on it. You do it to me to you know.” She shot back at him.
John sat there and felt bad that he had yelled at her. “I’m sorry your right. But they didn’t even hear me out.” He grumbled.
“Well that wasn’t right. But I do see they’re point. I know my parents are doing the same thing John. Right now Joey is working down the mall in one of the restaurants and he’s paying board and Daddy’s putting it away. I know your’s is a different case but for them it’s the same because they are trying to teach you responsibility. Unfortunately your just seeing it as getting in your way of your dreams.” She tried to explain to him.
He looked at her intently, “How the hell did you get so wise?” he said to her giving her one of his snide little smiles.
“I fell in love with you didn’t I?” she told him giving him a smile rather bigger right back.
“Smartass.” He shot back as he then started to laugh.
“I’ve been called worse.” She laughed back.
“I so don’t want you to go.” He finally said to her.
“Yeah I know neither do I but hopefully the next two weeks will go by fast.” She really hoped.
Before they knew it Michael was home and it was time for her to leave. She said her goodbye’s to the kids and to Marsha. But her goodbye to John were killing them both. They basically had kissed the way they had wanted before Michael got there but John was able to kiss her tenderly before she got into the car. Marsha gave Michael strict instructions to make sure he left after she got on the plane and that she would be fine. Jon straggled home and as Carol tried to talk to him he just went up to his room. He picked out what he was going to wear for tonight and then he jumped into the shower. When he got out Carol was just leaving Matty’s room as John was exiting the bath room.
“Oh dear where are you going tonight?” she asked him.
“Oh I have an audition at The Fast Lane tonight. I thought I told you and Dad that? Anyway I think I have a good chance at getting the lead singer gig.” He told her as he was heading to his bedroom.
“Well isn’t that wonderful. Did Ellie know that?” she asked him.
Turning around with an annoyed look on his face, “Oh course she knows why?” he wanted to know.
“Well she’s gone and now you’re going out and auditioning that’s all I just found it a little strange that’s all dear.” She told him. John wanted to say something to his Mom but decided against it and shocked his head and walked into his room and closed his door as she heard him lock his door. Carol just huffed but went downstairs quickly to make a phone call. It didn’t take long the person on the other end to pick up.
“So glad you picked up. John is going to The Fast Lane tonight and he’s auditioning for some band he wants into. I’m sure he’ll be hanging around some. Be there to put our plan into action. Ellie left this afternoon so he’s all your’s. Just don’t screw it up this time. I put too much time into you Dotty.” Carol told her.
“I won’t Mrs. B.” Dorothea told her.
