Disclaimer: ok! Well the only thing in this story I don't own is the s club and a lot of songs will be taken from other artists because I like them. Everything else is my own material from my own head!
Spoilers: Well today you can expect the chase for Rachel and one of them catches up with her eventually. Thanks for all the reviews all though it did surprise me a bit when one review said that Johnny “Unbelievable sucks!” If you review could you please leave your thoughts on Johnny because I’m supposed to be portraying him as the good guy, which means you’re supposed to like him. Any help on making him more likeable will be appreciated and for those who don’t like him, you’ll begin to like the story later on.
::Paul’s Hotel Room::
Paul lay on his bed, looking up at the ceiling. However the ceiling wasn’t what he say. All he saw was Rachel and the great times he had spent with her over the year or more their relationship had been going. They had some splits in that time, but they were resolved and they were never like this. Before it was just about how he treated her, and he had to admit he wasn’t the perfect boyfriend. But he was a good boyfriend but sometimes lost his temper. He blamed Johnny because he was what he wasn’t. Paul cared for Rachel, but didn’t show it the way Johnny did and not as often. If Johnny wasn’t around, he had no doubt Rachel would be happy with the relationship and none of this would have happened. It didn’t help that Johnny was such a close friend with Rachel either. Even after everything that had happened between them.
He looked at his bedside clock; the time was 10:00pm. He had to go to sleep, so he could catch his flight at 5 in the morning but he couldn’t. He kept thinking of Rachel, he had to fix all this! But he also couldn’t get what the little girl said on the plan. Johnny wasn’t chasing him was he? Just then his mobile came into view, right next to the clock. He quickly picked it up, and found Johnny’s name and decided to call him. The phone rang and rang but the voice that answered wasn’t what he expected.
Sean: Yo, who this?
It was a good thing that Johnny’s phone didn’t have his name on it, all though he didn’t realize at the time.
Paul: Is Johnny there?
Sean: Yeah, he’s just chilling with me in Miami!
Paul: And who is this?
Sean: You ask a lot of questions and you haven’t even told me who you are!
Paul: I’m Paul Cattermole!
Silence down the phone, all though he could hear the man’s breathing!
Sean: I’ll just pass the phone to Johnny!
He waited as he heard movement on the other end of the line. He heard the man call Johnny’s name.
Johnny: Paul, where are you?
Paul: So you are following me?
Johnny: What? If I was following you would I be in Miami with P.Diddy in the recording studio?
Paul: Aren’t you supposed to be rehearsing with us?
Johnny: Simon gave me some time off, one of the perks in my new contract!
Paul: Oh, so you’re not looking for Rachel or myself?
Johnny: Why would I be looking for you or Rachel?
Paul: No reason man, I must just be feeling paranoid or something.
Johnny: It’s cool! hope you enjoy rehearsing dude!
Paul: Thanks, that means a lot from someone living it up in Miami. I see ya later!
Johnny: Yeah, later!
Paul pressed a button on his mobile and then put it back on the table. He felt relief that Johnny wasn’t even aware of everything that was going on. He just hoped he didn’t call Hannah for a while because she might tell him everything. He thought about trying Rachel’s phone again but he then decided not to waste his time. He had got the answer machine the 10 times he had already tried. He sat back and yawned as he let his headrest against the pillow. He went to sleep, still unaware of the whole truth.
::Miami, Sean Combs Pad::
Sean Combs sat there, watching TV and half listening to the song that Johnny was trying to get the music right for in the recording studio he had installed in his house. It was remarkable, even in crisis Johnny was still writing music. He had a feeling Usher would be interested in this song. It had the Usher feeling to it. Usher Raymond was coming around the next day to pick up Johnny to go Barbados. Johnny was extremely lucky that Usher just happened to be going on holiday to the exact same place Johnny needed to go and in a private plan as well, which meant less time to get there. Suddenly Johnny’s phone started to ring. He answered it, it might be important after all.
Sean: Yo, who this?
There seemed to be a delay in the answer, he guessed whoever it was, got caught of guard by his voice instead of Johnny’s.
Paul: Is Johnny there?
Sean: Yeah, he’s just chilling with me in Miami!
Paul: And who is this?
Sean: You ask a lot of questions and you haven’t even told me who you are!
Paul: I’m Paul Cattermole!
Sean let the name register and then realized who it was, the guy Johnny was chasing.
Sean: I’ll just pass the phone to Johnny!
He got up and walked over to the studio and knocked on the window. Johnny looked up and then came out of the room he was in after Sean motioned for him to. Sean covered the mobile with his hand and whispered to Johnny.
Sean: It’s Paul!
Johnny nodded and then took the phone from Sean who decided to stay.
Johnny: Paul, where are you?
Paul: So you are following me?
Johnny: What? If I was following you would I be in Miami with P.Diddy in the recording studio?
Paul: Aren’t you supposed to be rehearsing with us?
Johnny: Simon gave me some time off, one of the perks in my new contract!
Paul: Oh, so you’re not looking for Rachel or myself?
Johnny: Why would I be looking for you or Rachel?
Paul: No reason man, I must just be feeling paranoid or something.
Johnny: It’s cool! Hope you enjoy rehearsing dude!
Paul: Thanks, that means a lot from someone living it up in Miami. I see ya later!
Johnny: Yeah, later!
Johnny watched the phone and saw Paul hang up. He put the phone in his pocket and looked at Sean.
Johnny: I hate lying!
Sean: Well your pretty good at it!
Johnny smiled.
Johnny: Paul’s not too bad at it either. He tried to make it seem like he was still with the band in the UK. Does he think I don’t speak to my girlfriend or something, I don’t believe he fell for it.
Sean: Perhaps your just lucky, he is probably thinking about other things.
Johnny: Well I hope my luck carries S Club’s future through this whole mess and keeps it alive.
Sean: You’ve always got a home at Bad Boy Entertainment if you need it.
Johnny: Thanks man! If you don’t mind, I’ll get back to the song. It takes my mind off of all this.
Sean: Far from me to stop a magician at work!
Johnny just smiled and walked back into the studio. It was a weak smile that even Sean could tell. He hadn’t known him for that long but the one thing really noticeable about Johnny was his smile. That was nothing like it!
Johnny watched Sean go back to watching his TV. He sat in front of the keyboard and played a few keys. Then he went back and changed the keys. Then he began singing along with playing.
You Don’t Have To Call
It’s Okay Girl
Cause I’m gonna be alright tonight!
He nodded his head and then wrote something down. Then he threw the pen down. His head wasn’t into it! He felt guilty about something but he could place the feeling. He just knew one thing and that was that he had to speak to the person he cared about more than the future of this band. He took his mobile out of his pocket and pressed one button, and put the number to his ear.
Hannah: Hello Johnny!
Johnny: Han, you sound pleased to hear from me?
Hannah: It’s because I am. This might sound stupid but I am seriously missing you other here.
Johnny: It doesn’t sound stupid at all. I feel the same way; it’s the first night we haven’t spent together in ages. I can’t even write this stupid song and you know nothing normally stops me from writing a song.
Hannah: I should have come with you!
Johnny: I wish you did! So how did today go, it was supposed to be a preview for Simon wasn’t it.
Hannah: That was a true disaster! We could only do five songs with you three gone. And the dance routines weren’t as good. Also we have a new dance instructor, Mashka’s disappeared apparently. Until she comes back with got a replacement. How are things over there?
Johnny: Paul just called me, asking if I was looking for him. I lied to him and said I was with Sean recording some tracks. I think he bought it! Also I’ve got someone watching Paul closely. Hopefully this will all be sorted soon!
Hannah: Good!
Johnny: Han, you know I’ve realized something tonight! Well I’ve known for quite a bit now actually!
Hannah: Know what?
Johnny: I’ve realized that you are the most important thing in my life and I can’t live without you. I love you Han!
Hannah: I love you too babe!
Johnny: Well hopefully you love me enough to give me the answer I want here because…….
Hannah: What is it Johnny?
Johnny: Hannah, would you marry me?
Johnny couldn’t hear anything as he could feel his body begin to shake. He was beginning to get worried before………..
Hannah: YES!
Johnny: Great! I just wish I could kiss you now!
Hannah: Same! You realize this is going to make me miss you even more.
Johnny: I’ll be back soon, that’s a promise!
Johnny listened down the phone and could hear Hannah crying!
Johnny: Are you crying Han?
Hannah: Yeah, I’m just so happy!
Johnny: Not as happy as me!
Hannah: No, more!
Johnny: Let’s not get into one of those couple arguments. After all, we are engaged! Well not officially. I should have done it properly, got a ring and asked on a knee.
Hannah: None of that matters, what mattered was that you asked me and made me the happiest I’ve ever been.
Johnny: Well I should go now, or I want be able to call you again till I get back to England. I’ll miss you babe.
Hannah: I’ll miss you to!
Johnny: Bye!
Hannah: Bye!
Johnny looked at the phone and smiled. For the rest of that night he no longer worried about anything, just dreamed of his future.
::S Club House::
The band mates just sat there looking at Hannah like she was the ultimate weirdo. There she was talking down the phone in the corner of the room, away from them all so they couldn’t full hear. She was crying her eyes out but sounded as happy as she had ever been.

The band mates just sat there looking at Hannah like she was the ultimate weirdo. There she was talking down the phone in the corner of the room, away from them all so they couldn’t full hear. She was crying her eyes out but sounded as happy as she had ever been.
Bradley: What do you thinks going on with her?
Tina: Well I know she is really missing Johnny.
Jon: It’s only been a day! They are lucky they are nearly always together. Stacey and I aren’t as lucky.
Tina: But she’s used to having Johnny around all the time and now he’s just flown off to Barbados because of another women.
Jo: Well perhaps we will find out!
They all look over to Hannah as she had finished her phone conversation and was walking back to the band with the biggest smile on her face.
Bradley: What are you so happy about?
Jo: And why have you been crying?
Her smile got bigger as she waited for the questions to end. When they finished she opened her arms out in an ecstatic happiness.
Hannah: Johnny just asked me to marry him!
At first she stood there, getting no reaction. The others had to let it sink in. It wasn’t long until Jo and Tina got up screaming and Bradley and Jon just smiled at each other as the girls started jumping up and down.
Jo: Oh My GOD! This is so cool!
Tina: See, I told you that you had nothing to worry about!
Bradley: You know, I think this calls for a celebration!
Tina: Your right, get the champagne! We have to toast the new couple.
And that’s exactly what they did, for the rest of the night!
Bradley: What do you thinks going on with her?
Tina: Well I know she is really missing Johnny.
