My Girl - JJ Maybank x female OC

You ready to go losers?

The pogues got back to John Bs and all did their own thing for a few hours until pope, JJ and Riley had to go and help popes dad with grocery deliveries for a bit of extra cash. Until then, it was just a chill afternoon.

Riley was relentlessly avoiding JJ, with everything she could, until she couldn't anymore. She walked into the spare room to get changed ready for the afternoon when JJ followed her in locking the door behind him.

"Can i help you?" She asked without looking up from the drawers she was searching through for clothes.

"Riley. Talk to me" was all JJ said.

"Why JJ" she carried on searching through the drawer as she sighed her response.

"You know why" he walked over and grabbed her shoulders spinning him round to face her.

"I'm a slut JJ remember? not someone you want to be associated with" she muttered, and tried pushing past him but he pulled her back.

"I'm not letting you walk away from me this time." He told the girl firmly "now what the hell did you do to your arm Riley?" he said so sternly, Riley had never seen him so serious, If the situation wasn't as serious as it was, she would have laughed.

"It's got nothing to do with you JJ" she sighed.

"It's got everything to do with me. You're my best friend, you're like a sister to me Riley"

Ouch.

"Whatever JJ. I don't want to talk about it, just leave me alone" Riley sighed turning back to the drawers.

"I didn't mean that" JJ signed, suddenly realising the mistake he had made in his previous words.

"Mean what?" She sighed back.

"Everything. Calling you a slut. I was jealous. That you were flirting with John B, that you flirt with boys, you flirt with people that aren't me. You're not like a sister to me Riley. Yeah you're my best friend but you're more than that, okay? You're.... I..... you're MY girl Riley okay MY girl." He finally finished, his voice raised slightly. Riley was completely taken aback by his words.

"J-" she began, but there was a knock on the door.

"You ready to go losers" pope shouted through the door "you two better not be Macking in there!" He joked, completely unaware of the situation. JJ gave Riley a sheepish smile before unlocking the door and making his way out, as she followed behind him, more confused than ever.

Heyward was passing grocery bags over to JJ, pope, and Riley who were on his boat.

"Get straight back here when you're done" he told them "no fishing" he said, mainly pointing his finger at JJ.

"I promised deliveries for this afternoon. Rich folk don't want to wait for you lazy sons of-" JJ stood holding his hands out to help with the bags "awh thank you JJ- sons of bitches" he finished.

"Right" pope sighed and Riley stifled a giggle.

They set off on the boat, an awkward tension between JJ and Riley that was oblivious to pope.

"It doesn't even look like the storm hit there" he said as they pulled up to figure 8.

"That's because they got generators bro get used to it" JJ said, an angry tone behind his voice. "And then they say the juice will be out all summer at the cut."

"Eat the rich" Riley mumbled.

"It's nice to be a kook" pope said.

"Lucky bastards" JJ scoffed.
