JJ Maybank Imagines

The Visit

Y/n POV:

I sat down at the table. I could feel the anxiety coming off my body as I nervously tapped my foot against the cement. I'm not entirely sure why I am even here, but it felt like I needed to be here. I stared down at my hands, picking at my nails. As I kept picking, a small smile crept onto my face. I could hear JJ telling me in the back of my mind to stop, whenever I would start he always grabs my hands and kisses them to calm me down.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the chime of the door. It slowly opened and in walked the guard, directing the man I came to see over to me.

Luke Maybank.

He got busted a couple of weeks ago for drugs or something and JJ had been taking it really hard. I mean yeah he hated his dad and everything he put him through, but that doesn't mean he wants him to be in jail. On top of that DCS has been on my ass trying to place him in foster care. The stress is slowly killing him, and that is killing me.

Luke sat down across from me as the guard uncuffed him. I could tell that he looked a bit confused, he had only met me twice and both times he was quite out of it.

I just stared at him for a minute. He had blue eyes like JJ's but they looked nothing alike. These eyes are filled with nothing but hate and regret. While JJ's are so full of life and love. I couldn't understand how the man I loved could have come from such a horrible person.

"You're my boy's girlfriend, right?" Luke broke the silence

"Yes sir, I am" I said timidly. I knew that I was safe with the guard around, but something about this man just made me feel uneasy. Maybe it was all the times I had to clean up JJ after they got into it. Or the fact that he is the reason that a drug dealer has been messing with JJ.

"Well, well. What can I do for you?" He said in almost a joking tone.

"I just wanted to talk," I said, trying to maintain eye contact. I didn't want him to know that I was scared.

"You want to talk?" He questioned "About what."

"JJ" I responded quietly

"Ah the prodigal son. What he get himself in some kind of trouble? Let me guess, he got caught with drugs, no alcohol.... .wait maybe it was trespassing" Luke kept going on.

"No.. stop" I said sternly. "He is not in trouble, but he will be if you don't help me"

"What are you talking about?" He said as I reached into my bag to grab the reason that I came.

I pulled out a couple of papers and a pen. I knew that JJ would never come to do this on his own, and he was going to be pissed when I told him I was here but this was something I needed to do.

"I need you to sign these" I said, sliding the papers and pen over to him.

"What the hell are these?"

"They are emancipation papers. Basically if you sign these you waive your parental rights and responsibility of JJ. You won't be responsible for him in any way."

"Why would I sign these?" He questioned as he leaned back in his chair. I could tell he was enjoying the fact that I was uncomfortable.

I took a long deep breath, I knew it was going to be a little difficult to get him to sign them.

"Because somewhere in the deep twisted mind and heart of yours, you still care about your son. He has a chance to have a better life, a life that he deserves" I began to plead

"Let me guess, with you?" Luke snarled "You think you can fix him don't you. Well, trust me honey. There is no fixing him. He is a thief and a criminal just like his daddy"

"You have no right to say that." I yelled "You have no idea who your son is. He is kind and loving. He is loyal to a fucking fault. He would trade his life for any of his friends any day. Something I know he didn't get from your sorry ass" I continued to light into him, he had no right to talk about JJ like that. "JJ is a hundred times the man that you are, and one day he is going to be the best dad in the world. Living a life that he probably thinks that he doesn't deserve. So for once in your goddamn life, do the right thing as sign the papers" I finished huffing, handing him the pen.

He just looked at me, almost with a bit of sorrow in his eyes. He took the pen out of my hand and signed the papers in the places that I had marked. He set the pen down and slid the papers back over to me.

"Thank you" I whispered out with a sad smile on my face. Luke motioned for the guard to come and get him. He placed the cuffs back on and they made their way to the door. Before they stepped through He turned around as said "Take care of him"

That was the first time I had ever seen Luke actually care about JJ. I gave him a nod and said "He's safe with me".

Luke returned my confession with a smile and walked through the door. I stood there for a moment. It was really over, JJ was free. I gathered the papers and made my own way out of the prison.

<time skip>

I pulled into the driveway of the chateau. I saw JJ's bike on the side of the house, meaning he was home from work. Luckily I didn't see the van, so hopefully he was alone.

I walked into the house to see him in the kitchen making a sandwich. His face lit up when he saw me.

"Hey babe" He said, smiling. His smile was one of my favorite things about him. It was hopeful.

"Hey" I said as I walked over and put my arms around his waist and placed my head on his back.

"What did you do today?" He asked.

"I went to see your dad" I mumbled into his back, but he heard me and quickly turned around so that he was facing me.

"You what?" He questioned, the look on his face was one of concern and a bit of anger. "Y/n I told you to stay away from him, why the hell would you go to see him?" JJ had pushed my arms from around his waist so that we were standing a few feet away from each other.

I knew he wasn't going to be happy so this reaction wasn't a shock.

"Look J, I know what you said. But I had to go" I said. I moved in closer to him and tried to put my hand on his cheek, but he pushed it away.

"What possible reason could I have for going to see him?" He asked, I could tell he was afraid of the answer.

I slowly moved away and toward my bag. I grabbed the papers out of my bag and handed them to him.

"To get these" I said softly

He looked down at the paper and quickly realized what they were. He flipped through them and saw that they were signed.

"Are these what I think they are?" He questioned, the look on his face was one I couldn't believe to describe. It was one of relief, happiness, and calm.

"Yeah J they are." I said as I pulled his head to mine so that our foreheads were touching. "Baby your free"

He picked me up and spun me around, I could hear the happiness in his laugh. My boy was free.

As my feet fell back to the floor he pulled me into a long kiss. His hands were on my cheeks and mine were situated on his waist. After a few moments we pulled away for air. Placing our forehead together once more.

"I'm free" he whispered with a huge goofy grin on his face.

I knew right then that no matter what happened JJ was going to get to live the life he always wanted. And that was all I could ask for.
