Forgotten History

As Marcus's knee sunk into Johns gut he coughed out all the air that had filled his lungs. That blow had been enough to throughly get his attention. He was far from giving up however. "Shut the fuck up." he groaned. Instinctively he kicked Marcus in the shin as hard as he could with his poor footing. Then with a bent arm he swung his elbow up towards the side of Marcus's face.
His breathing was heavy and sweat began to collect on his face and body. John regularly went to the gym to keep in good shape, but working out wasn't alone enough to prepare him for such a vigorous fight. Emotions high and inhabitants low, John would press on.

Being pushed away only agitated him more. Neither did Marcus denying his perceived right to Rin. "Well you weren't anywhere to be seen! If you wanted her you should have done it before she decided to be with someone else!" he retorted as he moved in once more. With firm footing he charged in with his shoulder while the opposing fist readied to strike Marcus in the abdomen.

John stood there watching as Marcus reacted to the assault. "Calm down?! You fucked her and you took her from me! You piece of shit!" he shouted. As he stood there yelling he clinched and straightened out his hand a few times. He had likely broken a bone or two but the adrenaline kept the pain at bay. "You'll pay for what you did!" he growled as he slammed into Marcus, gearing up for another strike.

John soon arrived on Deck F and began his hunt for the man he believed to have stolen his girlfriend. Despite what Rin tried to tell him he felt that everything would have been fine had Marcus never shown up. Rounding a corner he saw Marcus and another man sitting outside a Sims room. Ignoring the man (Kyle) beside Marcus he marched forward. "Hey jackass!" he said before decking Marcus in the face.

It played out much like Rin worried it would. She knew he hated her now and that he wouldn't get over this easily. As to what exactly would happen next though she wasn't sure. Would he drag this to their superiors and make a complete mess out of it? Would he otherwise make her life a living hell? She didn't know. The only thing she felt sure of is that there wasn't anything else she could do. A twisted relief was the only thing she felt as she walked away. You live and you learn... she told herself.

John stormed through the corridors, obviously enraged. Along the way he occasionally passed a familiar face. People who knew John knew him to be a calm and easy going guy so when they saw him in the state of blistering anger it was quite the shock. It was evident that the John everyone had known was lost, at least for the time being. The question, though, was this monster the real John or had it simply taken over the gentle soul?
The craving for blood and revenge drove him forward towards one of the most foolish decisions of his young life. Using his bridge clearance codes he accessed crew assignments and found that Marcus'sssquad was on a training routine on Deck F. Quickly he made his way there.

"I'll can't up with you later." she told him and gave him a quick kiss then headed out the door. Her mind rushed with a thousand different outcomes. Even as she showered she thought of what all could go wrong. By the time she was on her way to meet John her stomach was filled with knots. She had told John to meet her in a place they had often gone to talk. Upon arriving she found him sitting there patiently waiting.

John: "Hey! There you are! You okay? You don't look so good?"

Rin: "Hey... Yeah I'm okay. There's just something I need to talk to you about."

She said taking a step back from him as he tried to hug her. After a few minutes of awkward silence and small tall she decided to get into the heart of the matter.

Rin: "I can't be with you anymore. I don't love you and I won't ever love you, not really anyways. And it's not because oh you, it's just that your not the one I want to be with... Your a really awesome person and I'm really thankful you've been there for me but I won't be happy in a relationship with you. "

Her words were chopping and uncoordinated. As she spoke she regretted how it came out. Somehow everything she said seemed to make it worse. The disappointment, confusion and upset could be seen spreading across John.

John:" it's him isn't it? Your friend from the ground squad. You love him, don't you? " he asked, fits clinched.

Rin:".... Yes. I'm sorry that I led you on. I thought I wanted to be with you but it's him I want. I never meant to-" she was cut off.

John: "Did you fuck him?"

Rin: "uhh I don't think we should -"

John: "Damn it Rin! Did you fuck him?! Right under my nose did you just throw yourself down for him??"

Rin: Groaning she shook her head. "It's not like that... But yes, I did sleep with him. It's not that I wanted to cheat on youiit's that I love him and want to be with him." she tried to explain.

John: Standing and pacing it was obvious he was enraged. "You fucking slutt." he growled. It was like he had become a different person. "I trusted you and you went behind my back and screwed another guy! Are there more?? Have youbbeen letting every guy on the whole damn ship hit it?? And to think you said you wanted to wait until we were more serious beforewe had sex!" he rambled.

Rin: "Please just let me explain..." she begged.

John: "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it!" he yelled before storming out.

She caught Marcus practically staring at her. She knew he was probably worried. "I'll be okay." she told him kindly. On the inside she was nervous, jittery, and worried. As usual she tried to hide her weaknesses, which were currently emotions. Like most things that got her worked up she knew during and after wouldn't be as bad as the annoying time leading up to it. Just get it over and move on. she repeated to herself constantly in her head.

Shaking her head Rin got up and went to his locker. "here" she saidttossing him some fresh clothes. "The good thing about uniforms, they all look the same." she remarked as she slipped on one of his t-shirts. "After I get a shower and such I'm going to talk to John." she said as she pull on her boots.

" Luckily I'm not on duty till later. Got some newbies to check over. Make sure they know what to shoot." she remarked before turning and sitting on the side of the bed. She glanced around the room. "I don't know! I'm not the keeper of your clothes!" she teased him. Then realized she couldn't find all of her own clothes. "Damn it! They've all gone missing."

With a grunt and a groan she pulled the covers up over her face. "Shhhhh go back to sleep..." she mumbled sleepily. After a moment she realizedshe wwouldn't be able to go back to sleep. Yawning and stretching she rolled over to look at him. "I always sleep good by you." she told him with a smile.
