The chateau was filled with chaos as my brother, John B, stood between me and JJ, going back and forth yelling at us as if he was my father.

"Stay away from Y/n!" My brother pointed to the blonde and I couldn't help but roll my eyes, "I'm not letting this shit happen."

"John B!" I protested, "Would you just listen—"

"No, Y/n! I'm not letting you date my best friend!" John B then turned and pointed his finger at me. Out of anger I smacked his hand away and he scoffed.

"This is bullshit, man," JJ exhaled and held his hat tightly in his hands while backing away towards the door.

"Please don't go!" I pleaded with him, but as soon as the words left my lips he was gone, "I hate you!" I shouted at my brother, "You don't get to control my life!"

"I'm protecting you!" As I walked towards my room he followed close behind, "JJ is no good for you! I don't care that he's my best friend, all he'll do is hurt you!"

When I reached my door I stopped and turned around, "JJ is the best thing that's ever happened to me! Stop trying to act like dad, he's gone! That doesn't give you the right to act like this!" My hand grabbed onto the wooden door and slammed it shut right in his face.

I sat on my bed and pulled my knees to my chest, doing my best to keep myself together. There's one thing in my life I know for certain, that my love for JJ Maybank runs deeper than words. The feeling his love gave me was like a nuclear explosion in my chest.

My phone was held tight in my hand as I hit 'call' and listened to the ringing, soon being answered by JJ, "I'm glad you called, you okay?"

"Get me out of here," I stood up and began pacing through my room, "John B is bound to go full psycho and lock me in the house."

"Okay, where do you wanna go?" He asked and I heard him rustling things around in the background.

"I don't care, anywhere," I took a deep breath, "Somewhere we can be alone. I'll meet you on the outskirts of town, alright? By our old tree fort?"

"See you there, cupcake." Without another word we both ended the call and I dropped my hands to my sides. As quietly as I could manage I unlocked my window and watched my bedroom doorknob as I slipped my body out of the house, closing it behind me.

The only option I had was to walk, since I didn't want to alert my brother of me leaving. As my feet hit the pavement with a thud I felt my heart become heavy. I loved John B, overall he was the best brother anyone could ever ask for. But I also couldn't help but feel so alone in this world, the only thing I've ever asked from him was to approve of me being with JJ and he doesn't.

Twenty minutes of walking and overthinking went by and I finally reached the designated meeting spot. It was an area just outside of town, a small park next to the woods. Inside those woods was a tree fort JJ and I built in middle school, we used to hang out there all the time.

As the minutes ticked by I found myself sitting on the bench, looking left and right waiting for the blondes arrival.

My faith in him showing up began to fade when thirty minutes went by and he still wasn't here, "Come on, Jay." I whispered to myself. He wouldn't stand me up, would he? We've been through so much no way would he leave me alone.

An entire hour went by and I got tired of waiting, so I began my walk home and practiced the speech I would give to John B, saying how sorry I was for running off. He's probably freaking out right now blowing up my phone, I'd know that if I hadn't powered it off.

"Y/n!" JJ shouted, he seemed out of breath, "Y/n!" He repeated and when I spun around I saw him in a dead sprint running towards me, "Wait!"

"Where the hell were you!?" When he reached me I shoved him back and stopped him from saying a word, "I don't ask much from you, JJ! All I wanted was for you to save me from feeling so alone because I thought you loved me and you stood me up!"

"Hey, hey, I'm here now." He reached his arms towards me and I pulled away, "Just listen to me, please?"

I tapped my foot on the pavement as I chewed the inside of my cheek, "Start talkin'."

Instead of talking I watched as he got down on one knee and pulled a ring from his pocket, "Marry me, Y/n. You will never ever have to be alone. I love you and that's all I know for certain in this world." He held the ring up and I covered my gasp with my hands, "I talked to John B, Sarah's already shopping for a white dress."

"JJ—I—Oh my god," I started nodding my head yes and as he stood up off the ground he slid the ring onto my finger, "I love you, I love you, I love you!" I threw my arms around him and squeezed my eyes shut to enjoy this moment. We pulled away with giddy smiles on our faces and rested our foreheads against one another's.

"We're a love story, baby. I'm not letting you go that easy." He lifted his chin to place a kiss onto my forehead and I leaned my head onto his chest, my arms wrapping around his torso.

"The best love story of all."
