Jj Imagines

After Math pt 5

we arrive and the music blasting all around kegs layed out with people holding red solo cups jj walks in front of me and turns around pointing fake guns at me 

"so what do you think" 

i laugh looking up at the string lights hanging from the trees

"i love it" i whisper 

(kilby girl by backseat lovers is playing during the party such a great song i rec)

"so come with me"

"remember i don't drink"

he winces and puts a hand over his chest

"don't snap at me princess you can always have fun without drinking follow me" 

he takes my hand and i laugh the whole way out of the party on the beach the music distant from us 

"so do you come here often" i look to the side where jj's eyes glisten from the moonlight 

(song changes to medicine by daughter)

"yes i do" he groans when he sits down 

"it seems like you have alot of history with this place"

"yeah well its not good history i can tell you that"

he mutters 

"do you want to talk about it" i ask moving my hand to his hand grasping it 

he looks down at the sudden pressure and smile faintly 

"uh lets just say i'm not a very liked person"

y/n tilts her head to the side confusion filling her mind 

"what makes you say that in my opinion i think you are the most kindest,  awesome and overall just cool" she breathes after finisheing her statement 

"you like me princess" he smirks 

she roll her eyes and then giggles 

"maybe" she gestures 

"but tell me please, i might not relate but i know for a fact keeping it in doesn't help one bit" i say softly 

he nods understanding 

"long story short my mom dissapeared without a trace, her and my dad were never the high school sweet hearts, after that my dad's drinking problems started getting worse. once i got older he started being abusive and now he is a train wreck"

his voice cracks at the end 

i scoot closer to him silent not daring to say another word, because i never would understand what it felt like being abused 

yeah my dad left, my parents were always traveling, they had me when they were young so they didn't mature enough yet but at least i had grandparents who cares

"the only person-" he sniffles wiping his tears 

"the only person who ever got me out of that mess was my best friend since third grade john b, he was a pogue and that house i lived in is his he got lost at sea since last summer, we were" he stops chuckling at the thought 

"we found the royal merchant and he got framed for something he didn't do and he went off with his girlfriend and has been missing ever since"

he inhales sharply 

"after that the rest of the crew tried to be there but without him nothing could ever be the same he was our anchor....... my anchor and now he's gone" 

i shush him when he hugs me tighter tears running down my shirt 

"the only other person that saved me was joe and you" he whispers 

i look up telling myself to not cry at this moment, this was his moment not mine. he is at the time of need and i need to be there for him, to be strong for him. 

"you are safe now i promise" i whisper

this was going to be a long time 

with every growing second both their feelings grew strong like cement and bricks 

nothing could tear them apart and that was a fact everybody had to face now 

this moment they were going to be the new duo that nobody ever thought could happen
