JJ stepped back, a chuckle escaping his lips as he heard Maisie's unexpected words.
"If this is your way of telling me to go away, I don't —"
"It's the truth." she cut him off, her throat growing dry from the amount of times she had swallowed in one minute. Forming the words to tell him she was pregnant was easy, especially when he was causing her a variety of different emotions.
But awaiting his reaction was not.
It was fucking worrying.
His face dropped. His fingers ran through his blond, sweaty locks. He couldn't believe it.
"It's mine, isn't it?" JJ questioned, tilting his head as he stared at her, awaiting an honest response from his best friend. He knew she didn't like to lie, she never did. From the moment he met her.
Maisie nodded, her vision blurring whilst she looked down, avoiding eye contact, "Yes." she replied, her words coming out shaky. "It's yours."
Hearing that, it's yours, was all he needed to feel his heart drop. He loved Maisie, platonically or not. And now she was telling him she was carrying his baby at sixteen years old. He could barely take care of himself, let alone a baby.
"Please say something, Jay." the girl pleaded, fumbling with her fingers as a sense of comfort. The skin beneath her nails was practically shredded, due to her picking at it 24/7.
