OK, so I thought I'd do a new HollyFiction for you all, it's about Craig's overwhelming jealously, and Spike and Craig having quite a dark-side, but I'm still undecided on that

I used a song for the first chapter, Soul Mate By Natasha Bedingfield, its very fitting for the current situation. So I suggest you listen to it if you have it

Comments muchly appreciated


Chapter 1


Incompatiable...
It don’t matter though
Cos someone’s bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
You’re not easy to find

John-Paul lay in his bed, thinking about events, while listening to the radio, the song was speaking out to him, in more ways than one, the words made such sense, but yet they were construed in many ways.

Craig Dean, now there’s a name he didn’t want to think about, let alone see again after what had happened back in February of 2007. The images of Craig going crazy and beating seven pulps out of him still haunted John-Paul’s mind. Craig tried to make amends with his pathetic excuse of an apology two days later to the event, John-Paul had simply replied “I thought you were better than them, mates? Yeah…right!” and he simply walked away, walked right out of Craig’s life, and left him standing in the middle of the village, looking devastated.

Now three months later, John-Paul was beginning to move on with his life, Craig was well and truly out of his mind, or was he? He had met a special someone Spike Jameson, he had met Spike from Jacqui’s sham of a wedding at the wedding reception where Spike had been doing the DJ-ing, and they instantly hit it off.

Is it possible? Mr Loveable
Is already in my life
Right in front of me
Or maybe you’re in disguise

“Maybe he is in disguise…” John-Paul thought through. “But no, I’m moving on, I have too, Spike’s in my life, and for once I’m truly happy…aren’t I?” John-Paul sat up from his bed, trying to make sense of his situation, why had things turned out so wrong with Craig, all he did was fall in love with him, but then he had found hope in the form of Spike.

Who doesn’t long for someone to hold?
Who knows how to love you without being told?
Somebody tell me why I’m on my own.
If there’s a soul mate for everyone

He threw himself back down on his bed, John-Paul was beginning to question this apparent song, it was playing on his mind…

Over at The Dog in the Pond, up in the flat, away from all the punters, away from prying eyes, sat one guy in his bedroom, listening to the radio, to the exact same station, the same song, for this had been his plan…

Here we are again…
Circles never end…
How do I find the perfect fit?
There’s enough for everyone…
[But I’m still waiting in line…

The song made tears fall from Craig’s eyes, for this was the song that made him feel like there was something missing, something that he couldn’t quite grasp at yet, Sarah was everything to him, but there was something…somehow missing from his life.

Who doesn’t long for someone to hold?
Who knows how to love you without being told?
Somebody tell me why I’m on my own
If there’s a soul mate for everyone…
If there’s a soul mate...for everyone…

He sat there on his bed, taking all the words in, the words had so much meaning, that’s why he had picked it, someone out there must know what these words meant, the song carried on, and Craig continued to listen…

Most relationships seem so transitory
There all good but not the permanent ones
Who doesn’t long for someone to hold?
Who knows how to love you without being told?
Oh someone tell me why I’m on my own
If there’s a soul mate…for everyone

The song came to an end, and the radio presenter’s voice came on slowly, John-Paul was laying on his bed still, the song spoke to him, in more ways than one, and presumed it meant his liking for Spike. “That was a song for a very special person, and he wants this person to know that he’s very sorry for all that he’s done, that was from a…um…Mr McDean” the presenter spoke clearly, immediately grabbing John-Paul’s attention, “Mr McDean…” John-Paul thought “nah, surely not? Why would he? Unless he wants to give us a go as mates again…but that seemed a bit intimate…right?” he mused over, but shrugged away his thoughts from the vibrating tune of his phone, it was Spike, John-Paul grinned.

Back over at The Dog, Craig was smiling to himself, “surely he has clicked on that I want to be mates again, right? But it was a bit of an intimate song” Craig mused over, but shrugged off his thoughts as well, Craig lay back down, and drifted into a light sleep…

It's a really good start, please continue!

Here's the next part, trying to make it sound alright, sorry if its a bit muddled, I took the scene where John-Paul, Hannah and Sarah are stood outside Drive n Buy talking, its from Wednesday's Channel 4 episode, and elaborated from where Sarah shouted Craig! down the phone. comments appreciated



Chapter 2

Craig awoke feeling a little startled; he’s fallen asleep after his song had played on the radio that he had picked to attempt to win John-Paul back. He looked towards his phone, “no messages, no nothing…”Craig said to himself picking the phone up, “not even from Sarah…well I suppose there’s a first time for everything”. Craig fell backwards onto his bed, he wasn’t up for doing anything, or going anywhere, he had no get up and go.

John-Paul was out in the village taking a walk to Drive ‘n Buy, Myra had run out of the essentials, bread and milk, so John-Paul was sent packing to get some, even if the prices were shockingly high, John-Paul didn’t want to make a one hour walk to the super market just for two items.

As he was walking he bumped into Sarah and Hannah coming out of Drive ‘n Buy itself, John-Paul himself was feeling particularly happy, he had found a new friend, in the form of Spike, and was beginning to feel there was a spark there, and seeing Sarah and Hannah, somehow made him feel happier…

“What’s all this then?” John-Paul asked jokingly, looking at the massive bag of sweets that Hannah was carrying, “time of the month is it?” he carried on. Hannah took a tone of mocked shocked, “John-Paul?!” she said playfully hitting him the side. “Hello!” John-Paul said chirp fully with a big grin, Sarah jumped in this time, “Hiya” with an equally big smile. Hannah’s face dropped, John-Paul couldn’t think why, “Anyway, I’m allowed to talk about periods and that” John-Paul said cheekily.

Hannah became sarcastic, “Why’s that because you’re gay?!”, but this didn’t go un-phased by John-Paul, “No, because I’ve been filling up hot water bottles before I could even crawl” he said in his usual cheeky way, but meaning no offence. Hannah wanted to change the subject, she didn’t like how John-Paul could be so open with her, even so now that they weren’t back together.

“So where you off too then?” Hannah said with a usually forced smile, “Oh, just going in there actually, me mum’s run out of some stuff” John-Paul said motioning towards the shop, “Oh and…well…” he stopped mid-sentence, feeling flustered and undecided whether or not to tell his Ex-girlfriend that he had met someone, “go on, what you gonna say?” Hannah pushed him, “Well I’m kinda meeting someone later…” John-Paul whimpered out, unsure of what Hannah’s reaction would be, “Spike?...” Hannah said quietly, John-Paul simply nodded.
Sarah’s phone began to ring, and she stumbled to find it in her bag, John-Paul carried on, mustering up his courage, “It’s our first…proper…date” he said with a smile, Sarah found her phone and went to answer it, “Craig?!” she shouted, obviously something had gone off, or hadn’t gone off, John-Paul thought, “Well I better be off, mum will be wondering where I’ve got too, tell Sarah bye, and I’ll see ya later” John-Paul said making his way for the shop door. “Yeah…see you later” Hannah said, walking quite fast away trying to catch up with Sarah.

Over at The Dog, Craig was on the phone to Sarah, “I’m sorry alright…I just don’t want to go out at the minute…I’m not feeling well Sarah … yeah course I’m telling the truth why wouldn’t I? ... What? ... Later? ... Well I don’t know … But John-Paul will be doing his set there won’t he? … He won’t want me hanging round will he … he hates me as it is … and I don’t blame him … well alright … I’ll come out with you … yes I’m sure! See you later …. Love you too” and to those final words Craig put the phone down. He was going to try to make amends tonight; it was his one shot chance, his last chance to make things work.

Craig threw his phone on the floor, and went to lie back down on his bed, “I suppose I’ll have to make an effort to go, I hope he’ll talk to me” Craig thought silently, “can’t stand not being his mate”. Craig got up, and made his way to the bathroom, “well shower time, don’t want to be smelling like a drunk homeless person do I”. He pulled the switch on wall to bring the shower on, and turned it to full, the room soon filled with hot steam, and to this Craig stripped off ,and stepped into the heat of the falling water…

Missed ya Geordie!

OK, heres the next bit! I got a bit carried away, its 3 pages long this part hehe. This chapter is based around Thursday Channel 4 in The Loft, but with a Scripter twist



Chapter 3

Craig had had his shower, and indeed felt better for it, he felt as if his head had been cleared. He looked in the mirror and gave himself a cheeky grin, “tonight’s the night Mr. Dean, your going to win a certain person back” Craig said to himself applying gel to his hair, he wanted to make a good impression, but not to show too much of an effort, but just enough. He was feeling good, he would have John-Paul back come the end of the night, and that’s what counted.

John-Paul, Hannah and Sarah were sat on the bottom floor of The Loft nightclub, John-Paul was sat in the middle and the either girls sat at the sides of him. Hannah was under the weather, she’d heard Spike’s name mentioned more times than she could stand, and though John-Paul was gay, she couldn’t help but be self-centred and jealous at the fact John-Paul was moving on with his life, and indeed very almost had a boyfriend.

“Hannah, what IS up with you tonight? You look like you’ve had your back side smacked a dozen times, did Matty dump you?” Sarah said in a sarcastic tone, but playfully all the same, she knew about Hannah’s ‘imaginary boyfriend’ and that she was making a fool of herself in front of John-Paul. “No, Sarah! It’s just well…you know” Hannah said quietly trying not to get any attention.

“Oh come off it, I know you’re not very fond of a certain someone, and it isn’t me is it?!” John-Paul said loudly, causing Hannah to freeze with shock, John-Paul wasn’t stupid, Hannah had been trying to ward off Spike with every trick in the book, and it had seemed to work, Spike had laid off John-Paul, but that was only because he’d had enough of Hannah, she was like the sister he never EVER wanted. “I can’t believe you Hannah, for once I was happy! And you went and ruined it all, don’t you want me happy?!” John-Paul said with force in his voice, “Well I’m sorry John-Paul! But I can’t help how I feel!” Hannah spat back, “How you feel?! God Hannah, I really liked him! And I thought he liked me too, that was until you came along! Just stay out of my love life, alright!” John-Paul said getting up and heading to the bar.

Hannah stood up, and shouted over to John-Paul, and he spun round, “That’s exactly what I’m going to do!” she shouted running off up the stairs “Well done, that helped!” Sarah shouted coming over to him, “listen John-Paul I’m sorry about her, but you know what she’s like with all this, she’ll come round eventually, properly I mean, just give her time” Sarah reasoned, “I know, but she’s got to let herself and me move on, she went and ruined my first date with the first guy” John-Paul said making his way back to his seat, “It’ll get easier, just be patient” Sarah said, patting John-Paul’s hand.

Craig came down the stairs of The Loft, he saw his girlfriend, and his ex-best mate, “No Hannah? I wonder where she is?” Craig thought to himself, he came here tonight to win back John-Paul, but Sonny had towed along, that was going to make things a little bit difficult. Why had Sonny become his mate? He was a good for nothing low life.

Craig walked up to Sarah who was sat next to John-Paul, “Alright babe” Sarah said cheerfully, receiving a quick kiss from Craig, and John-Paul looked the other way, he didn’t want to talk to Craig, neither speak to him. Nor see him kiss Sarah. “Alright gay boy! Nice hair Sarah!” Sonny butted in, bringing Sarah and John-Paul to their senses, “Sonny…um thought he’d tag along” Craig mustered out, “well he could have asked first!” Sarah said spitefully, “Or not come at all” John-Paul said sarcastically, “Sonny! Bar…let’s go the bar…get a drink…you two want anything” Craig said, motioning Sonny away to the bar, and trying to break the ice with John-Paul, Sarah and John-Paul nodded dismissively.

Sonny and Craig were stood at the bar, “Look at him, with your woman, makes me sick how he gets all the attention yet he’s a fully fledged poofter, I think you should sort him again mate!” Sonny said with a snigger, “Doesn’t bother me, maybe he’s in touch with his feminine side and that’s what women like isn’t it” Craig reasoned getting the drinks from the bar man and paying for them. “So you’re OK with this? You’re alright with your bird talking to that…that..” Sonny spat, trying to get his words out, but Craig stopped him mid-sentence, “What? Poofter? Is that what you’re going to say?! Why don’t you just leave him alone, he’s just the same as me and you, except he likes blokes not girls” Craig shouted, causing Sarah and John-Paul to turn round seeing that Craig was shouting at Sonny, “So what you’re like him?!” Sonny shouted, “it’s better being a homophobic bully, you’re an arrogant pig Sonny!” Craig shouted pushing Sonny causing his drink to spill onto his shirt, “Thanks a lot Dean! You ain’t hanging round with me again!” Sonny ran out screaming, to which Craig laughed at, “I don’t want to!” Craig laughed loudly, then his attention was brought back to where his girlfriend was sat, she had a big grin on her face, and John-Paul had certainly gone red from embarrassment, but he was also secretly pleased that Craig had gone to the lengths he had to defend him, pity he hadn’t done that three months prior.

Craig came back over the table, “Wow Craig! I am impressed, you showed him, didn’t he John-Paul eh?” Sarah beamed with joy, “Um…yeah…whatever…I’m gonna go, need to get back” John-Paul stood up to leave, Craig grabbed his arm, “please don’t…can we…talk?” Craig asked softly, looking sincere. “I don’t know…I don’t want another fighting contesting…alright…but it better be good” John-Paul smiled, thinking this might be a good idea, and he sat down. “Look…mate, I’m sorry, and I mean it, for everything…” Craig stated softly, “What? Your sorry for beating seven shades out of me are you? Or the fact you never stood by me when you said, no, you promised you would?” “You gave as good as you got! Listen if you won’t hear me out, then I’m not going to bother…”Craig said getting annoyed that after all these months the wounds still hadn’t healed.

“I’m sorry John-Paul, I don’t care what people say anymore, I even defended you to Sonny didn’t I?” Craig said , stating the obvious, this is what made John-Paul reconsider taking him back, the fact Craig had finally stuck up for him, it was a start. “Well it’s a start I guess, so yeah…apology accepted” John-Paul smiled “But anything like this happens again, and your life won’t be worth living” he said seriously, “I promise…mate” Craig smiled, trying to not look excited at the fact he had his mate back, Sarah sat there grinning, and stood up, and stood in between both John-Paul and Craig, she gave Craig a quick kiss and whispered, “Thank you babe”, then she turned to John-Paul “Back to normal again, thanks John Paul”. Everything was beginning to return to normality…Was it…?
