JJ's pov

I'm walking to the chateau from Luke's even though I told Brooke that I would go to her house after I told him about the baby. She's called me like twice since I've been walking I just don't want her to see me like this and stress her out it's not good for the baby. I can't help but think that maybe he was right, I can't raise a baby.

"Hey man, what's up how's Brooke" John B says as I walk into the chateau

"Fuck off man" I say walking into the bedroom

Brooke's pov

It's been 3 hours since JJ left my house, so I'm worried that something bad could've happened because he said he'd only be about an hour, so you can see why I'm so worried. And I've called him about million times and texted him a billion times, he won't answer either one.

"JJ come on where are you" I say worried after another failed phone call

"Mom!" I yell going downstairs

"Yes honey" she says

"JJ won't answer his phone I think something bad happened, should go ever there" I say panicked

"Honey I'm sure he's fine, didn't he bring his friends with him and maybe his phone died and he's on the way here now" she says trying to calm me down

"No mom his phone isn't dead its ringing" I say starting to freak out

"Ok honey I'm su..." she says getting interrupted from the call on my phone

On the phone

"Hello" I answer fast not paying attention to who was really there

"Hey it's John b, what are you doing" he says sounding scared

"Damn, I thought you were JJ, I'm not doing anything besides looking for JJ and are you ok you sound scared"

"Well sorry I'm not JJ, but to answer your question he's here and he won't talk to me" he says

"Ok I'll be there" I say

Off the phone

"JJ's at the chateau something bad happened I got to go" I say rambling

"Ok just be safe" my mom says as I walk out the door

At the chateau

I walk into the chateau and see John B on the couch.

"Hey where's JJ" I say out of breath from running

"Where he always is" John B says

"Thanks" I say

I walk to the the bedroom door and knock.

"Go away John B!" JJ yells

"It's not John B baby" I say calmly

"What are you doing here" he says more calm

"I was worried you weren't answering your phone. Can I come in please" I say

I hear the door unlock, so I go in and see him laying on the bed facing away from the door. Makes me feel that he definitely has some bruises.

"Hey baby, can you look at me please" I say quietly sitting down on the bed

"Why" he says with no emotion

"Babe please don't make this hard" I say

So he sits up and leans on the hardboard looking straight, still not looking at me. So I put my hand under his chin and turn his head towards me and I see his black eye and his busted lip.

"Oh J I'm so sorry I shouldn't have made you go, I knew that he wouldn't be happy" I say

"You don't have to apologize it's not your fault, I should've listened to you and took John B with me" he says finally looking me in the eyes

"Yeah you probably should've" I say laughing

"Shut up" he says smiling

"I'll be right back and get your face cleaned" I say

Few minutes later

"Ok, I'm bac- why are you crying" I say

"What are we doing" he says crying

"What do you mean" I say

"I mean we're young, I'm broke, neither of us have no idea what we're doing like we're way over out heads here we're both still in high school we can't have a baby" he yells standing up

"JJ what are you talking about I thought this is what you wanted" I say getting sad

"Come on just think about it all the kooks would come after you for having a baby with me, we would have to stop going to school and I know that you want to go to college and you won't be able because we would have a baby and I wouldn't be able to go surfing or hang out with the pouges as mu..." he says getting interrupted

"JJ SHUT UP" I yell grabbing his face

"I can do online college and you won't be alone I can take care of the baby while you go surfing with the pouges. We will have time for are selves, ok. I know you're scared, I am to, but I thought we made up ourmind that we were keeping the baby" I say trying to calm him down

"Yeah we did, but I just...we can't raise a baby Brooke" he says calming down

"Why not" I say

"Because, I don't know maybe you could, but me, I can't" he says sitting down

"I don't understand JJ you were so happy about the baby and us raising the baby, what changed" I say

"It's...my dad, he...told me that I would be a bad dad that I couldn't raise a baby and that I'd be like him and I guess I can't help but think that he's right" he says crying

"Hey JJ it's ok, you are nothing like Luke. This baby is going to love you and you will be an amazing dad" I say hugging him. "Lay down J come on" I say

Then we lay down and I cuddle him until he stops crying and eventually he falls asleep.

"I love you" I wripser in his ear before I go to sleep myself
