Chapter 16
Five weeks had passed since Johnny had arrived. Everyonr was back to normal after the dinner, well everyone except pe that is. She had been acting very strange, and being very bitchy. She would get into an arguement with just about everybody, cry for no reason at all, or just set off somewhere by herself and not say anything at all.. It was the day before Johny had to go back to England and they had been fighting all day over small things. She decided to get away from the house for alittle while. So she went to visit Toy. They had both planned to get together and start to plan the wedding later that day anyways.
"Hey girl. You're here early, Whatcha up to?" TOy asked as she opened the door to let her in. Pe sighed.
"I needed to get away from the house for a littlie while. Johnny and I have been fight all morning." she said sitting down at the table.
"fight? Why?" Toy asked as she took the sit next to her. She knew it was unusally for the couple to fight like this. "What happened?"
"I don't know..I-I don't want to talk about it. Lets just get this wedding planned, I need something to help me keep my mind off things ."
"Pe? Are you OK?...I mean you've ..well you haven't been yourself lately. Is something borthering you?" Toy asked worried about her friend. It wasn't like her to fight with everybody, she usually got long with them.
"I'm fine!...Why is everybody asking me that?" she said with a slight attitude.
"Because we're worried about you...I mean It's not like you to be like this."
"Be like WHAT?! I'm the same way i've always been! Why is everyone all over my damn back lately!?" She was yelling for no reason and had a very bad attitude which was pissing toy off.
"Becasuse you're being a BITCH! That's why!...Everytime somebody trys to help you or ask how you're doing you jump dowm their damn throat!"
"Well if everyone would stop acting like my fucking parents I wouldn't be jumping down everybody's damn throat."
"I don't understand you...You're getting mad at everyone because they care about you. That's some fucked up shit. You need help."
"Whatever! You know, you and Johnny are really getting on my nerves. I'm sick of yall shit!" Petress said getting and walking out of the door. Toy just sat there and sighed. THis was the first fight her andPe had been in, in the last two and half years. And she's not sure what it was about. She got grabbed a bottle of water for mt the frighe and went upstairs. A few seconds later the phone rang.
"Hello?" she said still upset about what just hapened.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did i catch you at a bad time?" Johnny Asked.
"Oh Hi Johnny. I'm sorry. What's up?'
"are you OK? What's wrong?"
"Nothing much except i had just had a fight with your girlfriend..What's up with her? She's been acting really weird lately."
"I have no idea. We had just had a fight before she went over to your house."
"Yeah, she told me. So what did you need?" TOy sighed.
"Oh actually i was lookiong for her...Is she still there?"
"Nope, after the fight she stormed out of here."
"Oh..Well, do you know where she went?"
"Nah, not a clue."
Oh, OK...Well thanks anyways."
"No problem. If you find her let me know?"
"I will...talk to you later...Bye Toy."
"Bye." toy said. After they hung- up Johnny went back in the kicthen to finish cooking. He was making dinner for them, since it was his last night with her and he didn't want to spend it with the both of them mad at each other, he wanted to be something special until they were together again. Johnny countiues to cook until he hear the front door open it was Pe. He walked out of the kicthen and towards her, but she just pushed him away and walked upstairs. he fellowed her. She was stnading in the mirror when he came up there.
"Baby, what's wrong?" he asked rubbing her shoulders as he stood behind her. She jercked away from him
"Nothing!...J-Just leave me alone."
"What in the HELL is your problem! You fight with me, then go and fight with Toy! Why are you treating everybody like shit!" He yelled. She was started to piss him off with her bad attitude.
"Everybody just need to leave me alone. If yall think I'm being a BITCH. Then just leave me the fuck alone." She said walking back out of them room. He went after her.
"Waht are you talking abou?.. I never said that...I would never call you that. Baby I'm just worried about. You've been acting strange lately." He said relaxing alittle.
"Whatever Johnny! You nor Toy are my parents, so I wish that you would just leave me the fuck alone!"
"Damn you need to do something about your stanky ass attitude. What the hell is your problem!!... You're acting really stupid."
"Yeah? So i guess I'm a STUPID BITCH huh!!Fuck you Johnny, you and Toy both, which the two of you are probably doing behind my back anyways!...I mean since both of think so much alike, maybe you too should be together." Pe said walking out of the house and slamming the door behind her.
Petress Drives down a dark road thinking to herself. "What i'm i going to do? I have to tell him. But I'm scared. Well i could at least tell Victoira...I mean after all she is my BEST friend. I don't know. GOD what should i do?' Phssssssss. Her thought was interrupted by the sound of her tire going on flat.
"DAMN!!" she crussed out loud. Her she was in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire, that she would have to change alone in the dark. Petress exhaled, popped the trunk then got out of her car. THis was a scary road, there was no one around, only woods and darkness. She tried using her cell phone to call for help but coouldn't get a connection. "SHIT! " She crussed again as she walked around towards the trunk of the car. She heard a nosie as she was looking for the speare, but tried to ignore it and find the tire and get it changed so she can get back home. She heard the noise once more before she felt someone walk up behind her, eith a sharp object sticking in her side.
"If you're a good girl and behave, i promise not to hurt you." The person said. Petress tried not to cry. She knew what was about to happen and she feared for her life. The guy started to feel up her leg rubbing on her thighs.
" NO!...Please don't!" she cried out loud, before she felt his hand across her face heard.
"You STUPID BITCH! didn't I tell you not to talk!" he said grabbing her breast hard. Petress Screamed and not thinking pushed him away trying to get away from him. He quckly grabbed her, and the last thing she remember his feeling his fist against her face before she hit the ground and was knocked out.
It had been almost three hours since Petres had left the house, and Johnny was starting to get worried, and hadn't heard from her since. He called her cell but got no answer which wasn' like her, no matter what she would always answer her phone, just incase it's an emergency. When he tried for the sixth time and stil got no answer he really started to worry. He called over her parents, brother and sister, cousins, baically her whole family, to see if she had been over there or if they heard anything from her, but none of them had. He then tried Howie,Kevin, and Nicks house but they hadn't heard or seen her either. He finially decided to call over AJ's. The phone rung about three times before Aj picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hi AJ. It's Johnny. Is Toy there?"
"Yeah. She's upstairs. What's up?"
"Have you seen Pe, or Heard from her?"
"Nah dog, i thought you two would be together since it was your last night together. You don't know where she is?"
"No. She left the house earlier today after we had a fight, that was almost three hours ago."
"Damn..no i haven't seen her. I'll ask Toy though...Hold on." he said putting hte phone down. Johny could here mubbling in the back ground. "Hey John. Toy said she hadn't seen or heard from her since earlier today."
"Damn.." Johnny sighed. 'where could she be' he thought to himself. "thanks. Hey if you hear from her call me on my cell phone. I'm going to go look for her."
"OK...Good luck man." AJ said as they hung up the phone. Just as he hung up that phone Toy's Cell phone rang. AJ wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and started kissing her shoulders, until he saw the look on her face.
"Baby, what's wrong?" he said. as a tear started to fal doen her face. "Baby, who was it?"
"Mrs. Lillie."
"Pe's mom?..What did she want."
"We need to get to the hospital. Pe's been attacked by a rapist." she said as the memories started to come back to her of earlier that day, and the tears started to fall more. Her and Aj left as soon as they coulld. When they got to the hospital all of her family and the rest of the boys and their girlfriends were there. They all set aroud the wating room waiting for the doctor to come in and let them know something..
It had been almost an hour before they notice that Johnny wasn't there.
"Hey Toy did anybody call Johnny?" Lisha Pe's sister asked. "The doctoer had seen all of our numbers in her book, but he's wasn't in there, and they couldn't find her cell pjone nowhere in the car."
"Johnny doesn't know? Oh damn. I'll call him." Toy said explain to AJ about Johnny.
"OK baby, do you want me to call him or do you want me to?" he asked.
"I'll call him." she said turning to see the doctor enter the room. "Go find out what happened. I'll be right over." she said trying to smile.
"Ok babe." he said, kissing her check and walking over to were everyone else was standing. She started to call Johnny. He picked up his phone quckly.
"Hello?"
"Umm. Hi Johnny. It's Me Toy.."
"Toy, Have you heard from her?" he asked you could tell that he was worried. Victoria sighed.
"Yeah...Johnny, Petress's in the hospital..."
"Hospital?...W-What's wrong with her? I-Is she OK?"
"I'm not sure yet. They believe she was raped...You need to get up her, and fast." She said. hunging up the phone after telling him what hospital she was at and how to get there. Aj then walked up to her to feel her in on what happened. "What happened? Is she ok?"
"Yeah, the doctor said she's going to be just fine. They said that it wasa attempted rape. She has a few bruises in her face were he hit her, but she'll be OK. They said that some guy had brought her end, he was driving down the road were her car went on flat and say them in his head lights. He got there just in time. The guy had knife which he cut her side with, when she tried to run. he was going to kill her."
"God...I'm glad she's alright. Did they catch the guy?"
"Yeah, he's in jail for attempted rape, sexual arrassment, and an attempted double homecide."
"Double homicide?" Toy asked confussed.
"Yeah, the way he was holding the knife could have killed both her had the baby."
"Baby?"
"Yeah she's pregnant, which explains ALOT." Aj siad holding Toy in his arms. everyione eles had went in to see her.
"Why didn't she tell me? I wonder if she told Johnny?"
"Most likely not, she was probably scared to you know with his career and all." AJ sighed. "That's probaly why she was extra grachy." Toy she nodded feeling even more quilty then before. She had just had a fight with her best friend all because SHE was pregnant. "I feel so bad" She thought to herself, as the words started to flo back into her head.
"You want to go see her?" Toy nodded her head softly. When they walked into the room, everyone else was gone and Pe was laying on her back with her head turned towards the window, she turned her head back towards the door when she heard AJ clear his throat. When her and toy saw each other they both started to cry. Toy walked over and hugged her friend. Both of them keep saying how sorry they were.
"I'm sooo sorry. I didn't know/ Why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't know....I should have. And i'm sorry too. " Petress said as they hugged once more.
"So, How far along are you?"
"The doctor said about four or five weeks." Pe. said with a smile. "He said I really need to get a check up, So he's going to call up an OBGYN, and they're going to do an ultrasound."
"Awww...Your baby's first picture." Toy said smiling back.
"Hey. AJ." Petress said smiling at him as he walked over and gave her a hug.
"Hey girlie. I'm glad you're OK...Don't you every scare us like that again." he said with a smile.
"Trust me I WONT." She laughed. "Hey, I know this is kinda soon, but I would like it very much if you and Toy would be the Godparents of my baby?"
"Wow, Of course. W-We would love to." They both said as they hugged her again.
"Well It's late and you need your rest. We'll be back first thing in the morning." Toy said smiling has she hugged her friend one last time. "I'm so glad you're OK. Take care of yourself and OUR God child." She smiled.
"Bye." Then her and AJ left. It wasn't until an hour later while Petress was half asleep that Johnny had arrived. He almost cried when he saw the burises on her face, but to hi, she was still beautiful.
"Babygirl?" He whispered softly pushing her heir behind her ear waking her up."
"J-Johnny?" she said sounding as excited as she did the night he called her before he came back to the states. She throw her arms around hes neck pullin him down. He smiled. "Baby i'm so sorry. I didn't mean those things that i had said...I'm so sorry Johnny. I love you so much."
"I'm sorry too baby. I was so worried. I had went out to find you...a-and when toy called me and told me that you were in the hospital i didn't know what to think. Are you OK?" He asked holding her close.
"Yes. Except for a few bruises and alittle cut i'm fine. I was lucky, if that guy wouldn't have came along when he did. That dude would have raped and killed me and i would have never got the chance to see you agin, never got the chance to tell you that I was sorry." she said crying. Johnny just held her in his arms. "Baby please stay with me tonight."
"I will baby. I will." He said laying next to her and kissing her forehead, as she cuddled up close to his chest and fell asleep. This wasn't excatlly how Johnny had planned to spend his last night wiht his girlfrined but he was enjoying it.
The Next morning Johnny and Pe were awaken by the OBGYN. He was setting up fo rthe ultrasound. Pe had totally forgotten about that. She became nervous when she saw the look on Johnny's face. He didn't understand why they were setting up an ultrasound machine for.
"Hmmm. Baby, what's going on?" Johnny asked looking confussed. Petress was just silent for a minute. The doctor saw that they needed to talk so he excused himself and walked out the room saying he would be back in ten mintues, leaveing the couple alone. "Babe, is there something you want to tell me?"
Pe bit her bottom lip and sighed as she got ready to tell her boyfriend of fours years that for 4 weeks she had been hiding her pragnacy from him.
