Kill for You- John Wick

Chapter 10

Helloooo I'm back(ish)! I've kinda lost inspiration with this one and have gotten distracted w another story I might publish soon tehe im sorry. I'm still not discontinuing this story I might decide to finish it at some point but for now I have this unfinished and unedited lil chapter I figured I'd just publish and stop gatekeeping lol :D

I breathed a sigh of relief that the scary man was gone, I had no intention of facing him again tonight. I felt a little bad that I'd just hid but confrontation was not my thing, probably why Reed loved me so much. I slowly rose from my spot on the floor after a few minutes, deciding to just shower and go to bed. I was exhausted even though it was only 8:30 and I'd done nothing today, but I just wanted today to be over.

I quickly ran through the shower, and dried off, before looking in the mirror to see my face all red and puffy. I brushed off my appearance and finished getting ready for bed. I was a little on edge, constantly expecting John to burst through the door and start yelling at me again, but he never did much to my relief.

When I was all ready for bed I climbed under the fluffy covers of the bed and snuggled up, trying to forget about the days events. I turned on the tv, flipping through the channels until I found sponge bob, I didn't really want to be alone right now. Thats not to say I wanted John here, I was still mad at him, and honestly he'd really scared me, but I just didn't want to be alone in the dark so the tv helped a little.

I watched my show for a while, every so often glancing at the door. Finally around 11 my eyes began to droop and I dozed off into a restless sleep.

I awoke to the sound of my own scream, as I often did lately. I sat up abruptly with a gasp. Rubbing the tears from my eyes as I tried to forget my nightmare.

Just then the bathroom door swung open and a dark figure stepped out. I knew it was John. He must've come back while I was asleep. He was illuminated by the dim bathroom light just enough that I was able to see he had just gotten out of the shower. He wore a pair of sweatpants and and a black t shirt. His hair hung damp in front of his face and he wore a bit of a worried expression,

I shrunk away from his figure and he spoke,

"you okay?" His voice was low but gentle, making me feel at least a little better that he didn't sound angry

However I was still mad at him, I didn't respond, just flipped over and closed my eyes, trying to call back asleep,

"Sophie" he sighed, sounding frustrated

I heard his footsteps as he approached me and I just pulled the covers up further to hide my face, in no mood to forgive the assassin,

"I'm sorry I scared you" he sounded a little guilty as he apologized, making my ears perk up though I refused to turn and look at him still

"I'm just trying to keep you safe and when you do stupid things like that I get a little annoyed" he spoke pointedly, it seemed that even though he was apologizing he was also lecturing me,

"sorry I'm so stupid and annoying" I broke my silence, unable to pass up such a perfectly set up moment for some self pity

I kept my face hidden under the blankets, deciding that acting childish was the best solution for this argument,

"Sophie" John sighed indignantly, though sounding almost a little amused, "you know that's not what I meant"

"John" I mumbled, my voice a bit muffled from the covers that still hid my face, "you're big and you're scary and I don't handle being yelled at very well" I finally turned so that I was laying my back with John's large figure hovering over me, "I'm sorry I was stupid, I know you're trying to protect me I-I just don't like um feeling trapped y'know" I tried to explain as best I could
