TW: MENTION OF ABUSE

PART THREE:

"JJ, what was that?" You asked, the anger dissipating slightly. 

"N-nothing, just stop," he replied. 

"Did you think I was going to hit you?" You asked, hurt. You bit your lip. 

"N-no," he replied. 

"Stop lying to me. Please."

"Fine! Yeah, I thought you were going to, but why should you care?! You hate me anyway!" JJ said loudly, his voice cracking a little. 

"I-I don't hate you..." You replied gently a few moments later. 

"Don't even pretend," he said. 

"I don't! JJ, I actually have grown to care about you. Could you believe that?" You said, some anger returning in your voice. You tried to get rid of it, because you knew he was upset.

"Why would you?" JJ muttered. 

"Why would I? Are you serious?" You said. Then you realized what you said and blushed slightly.
"Look, the point is, I wouldn't hit you, okay?" You said a few moments later. 

"Yeah, I know, it's just a r-reflex..." JJ replied. 

"Reflex?" You asked, confused.

"J-just don't worry about it," JJ said, his voice cracking slightly. 

"No, what do you mean?" You asked. 

"I- just-... It doesn't matter, okay? Just drop it..."

"No! It does matter! Explain!"

"Ever wonder why I always have bruises and cuts?! It because my dad hits me, okay?! And it's really bad and I just don't wanna talk about it so now you know! Now will you get off my ass now?!" He yelled, some tears in his eyes.

"JJ..." You didn't know what to say. You wrapped your arms around him. "I'm sorry... I didn't know..."

"G-get off me...! I don't need your sympathy..." JJ said, trying pushing you away weakly. 

"JJ. I'm sorry I just wanna help you..."

"I don't want your help," he replied, his voice shaking, tears falling down. You squeezed your arms tighter. "I'm not letting go."

The others considered doing something, but decided against it. This was your and JJ's moment.

"I'm so sorry... You don't deserve that..."

"I-I don't know how much longer I can take it..." He muttered, embracing you, his head in your neck. You felt it get wet from his tears. 

"You should have told me..." You said.

"I-I don't hate you..." He said a few minutes later. "I'm sorry...."

"No, d-don't be sorry... I know you didn't mean it..." you replied. 

"I-...I said a lot of bad things to you I'm sorry..."

"Hey, it's okay. I did too... I'm sorry... I was too harsh..." 

"N-no I d-deserved that," he said. 

"No. You don't deserve to be yelled at. And you don't deserve what your dad does to you either. I'm sorry..." You replied, tears in your eyes.

"I don't hate you... I-I'm actually quite fond of you..." JJ said. You blushed. 

"Who wouldn't be?" You said jokingly. You both let out a small chuckle. JJ sniffled a little bit. 

"Hey, if you ever need anything... I'm here..." You said comfortingly.

"Th-thanks..." He replied. 

"Yeah, of course," you said, backing up slightly just so you could wipe some of his tears away, before returning to how you were before.

A few minutes went by.

"I love you," you finally had the confidence to say, blushing a lot. 

"I love you too," JJ replied quietly. His tears had slowly stopped and they were almost completely gone. He moved his head upright and looked at you. You were both blushing. The others were trying hard not to scream out "AWWWWWW", but somehow, they held in the urge.

Suddenly, you kissed him. That was it. There was then a chorus of obnoxious "AWWWWWW"'s. And with that, you both flipped them off, without breaking your kiss.

el end.
