SINCERELY, YOUR DARLA. || ~ jj maybank.

JJS FLASHBACK,
September 9th, 2018.
14 years old.

I threw the tennis ball at the wall continuously
"jj, don't dent that wall boy." Big John told me.

Big John is John bs dad, he is like a father figure to me when my dad isn't.

"I won't." I blandly sigh.

"What's wrong with you?" John b asked from the couch.

"Nothing."

"Mhm." Big John nods.

I hold the tennis ball. "Nothing means nothing so stop with the interrogation."

"Jj, seriously, what's up. Because there's clearly something up." John b is starting to get annoyed.

"Do you need to know what I'm feeling all the time?" I snarl, starting to throw the tennis ball again.

He rolls his eyes. "It's not still about her, is it?"

I get defensive. "No, John b."

"Her being?" Big John asks us both.

"Her being Darla Miracle." John b chuckles.

I throw the tennis ball at John b. "I said no."

"Ah, her. Y'all used to hang around with her alot didn't you?" Big John asks.

"Yeah." I sigh. "Used to."

"But now he's all lonesome without her." John b laughs in an annoying voice.

"I'll snap that little wrench dick right off in a minute." I mutter.

"Hey! Language." Big John points at me.

John b tilts his head. "But it's true~"

I stomp over and grab the tennis ball from him.

"So what, is it a little crush you have going for her?" Big John clicks open a beer.

"No." I shout.

"He said no because it's more than a crush." John b mumbles.

"Tell him to shut up Big John!"

"All right! You are both acting immature." Big John shakes his head.

We suddenly see Pope running outside, huffing and puffing.

"What is Pope doing here?" I ask.

He bursts through the door in a matter of seconds. "Guys! Guys."

"Well hello to you too." Big John nods.

"It's Darla." Pope sighs.

"Darla what? Darla when? Darla where?" I ask, running out the door.

"See?" John b tells his dad.

"Pope, come on, man!"

Pope walks after me. "Wait!"

"What, dude?" I cross my arms.

"She's in the Wreck, Kiaras dads restaurant. You told me to tell you whenever I see her."

I nod. "Alright come on."

"Jj you can't just burst in and walk up to her." Pope says as John b walks out with the keys.

"Why not?" I shrug. "Haven't seen her in almost a year."

"Dude." Pope says as he walks quickly behind me out the driveway. "She's with her dad, they're having some party to celebrate her dad and his new girlfriends marriage."
