"What are you doing here?" I ask JJ, tapping Rafe's hand to put down the lamp.

"You said you were going to your dads, I was checking if you were alright." JJ says.

"But clearly you are, hanging out with the slut of obx." JJ scoffs.

"What did you just say?" Rafe asks.

I look to JJ, seeing glossy red bloodshot eyes. He was slightly slurring and was unsteady on his feet.

"He's drunk, leave it." I say to Rafe.

"Yeah Rafe, leave it." JJ slurs.

"You have a lot of nerve coming here." Rafe scoffs.

"Why, is JJ not allowed here?" JJ pouts sarcastically.

"JJ stop." I sigh, knowing this would make Rafe angry.

"I say you leave." Rafe says.

"Or what? I'm trying to have a peaceful conversation with Gia." JJ laughs.

"Go home." Rafe walks closer to him, looking inches taller which sparkled a tiny look of fear in JJ's eyes.

"I'm not scared of you bro." JJ says.

"No, you're not doing this. And especially not in my house." I state.

"We'll go outside then?" Rafe keeps his eyes on JJ.

"And what, you're gonna kill me like you did to Barry?" JJ scoffs.

"'Nah, I'll hit you like your old man does." Rafe shrugs.

"Stop." I say again.

"Gia- just stay out of this." Rafe looks back to me.

"He's clearly wasted!" I reply.

"So that gives him an excuse to say all this shit?" he scoffs.

"No but you're winding him up even more." I say.

"It's always my fault, right?" Rafe laughs, backing away from JJ and moving around the room.

"I didn't say that." I sigh, rolling my eyes at his constant stressing out.

"Just leave man." Rafe says.

"I'm good where I'm at." JJ says, sitting down on the chair infront of the desk.

"JJ-" I sigh.

"What? You want me to go?" JJ asks genuinely.

"Hooray, you finally got the hint." Rafe says.

"No, it's just- we were kinda in the middle of something." I say.

"Right- right." JJ nods, wiping his nose with his finger.

"I just thought I'd check on you like always after what Rafe did." JJ says, taking out pre-rolls from his pocket and putting them back in.

After any misconvenience me and JJ would always smoke it out, and talk about everything and anything we could together. I frown thinking about him, I didn't forget about him, there just wasn't much time on my hands.

"You weren't even there." Rafe scoffs.

"Yeah but she did come crying to me right after so I think I know pretty well." JJ shrugs.
