Cam had been ignoring her buzzing phone the whole time. "who keeps texting you?" he asks as she picks up her phone.

"John B, he was really worried about you" she sighs. JJ makes a 'O' with his lips "oh, tell him I'm ok" she nods and makes sure to text back that he's safe and ok.

"can you tell me exactly what happened?" she asks, JJ takes a deep breath before starting his story.

JJs POV from earlier

"dad!?" I yell, making sure I wasn't about to get jumped. I just finished my shift from work and needed new clothes then I planned on leaving.

I walk into the living room to find dad past out with an empty bottle of OXY laying next to him. Maybe he was finally dead? Two of my fingers wrest on his neck just to find he still has a pulse.

After finding my alive father... sadly, I start shoving clothes in a bag. I don't know what happened but I felt someone grab me and shove me to the ground.

"get off!" I fight back but get continuously punched in the face. Right as I was about to get out I feel cold metal press to my temple.

You don't know adrenaline until you are covered in blood feeling like you're dying with a gun to your head. "you little shit you ruined my life! YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME!" my father screams in my face, clicking the safety off.

"and now.... you're gonna fucking pay" Luke grins, drugs make you do crazy things. There was so many things I wanted to say and do, I'm 16 I haven't lived yet.

Right as I think I'm about to take my last breath my father collapses over me, pulling the trigger and shooting the window above my head. I stand up, grabbing mg bag and running as fast as I can.

The sound of another gunshot hurts my ears but I don't look back. My legs definitely never carried me as fast as they did in that moment...

Present time (third person)

A single tear escapes the boys eyes while he tells her just what happened. "I'm proud of you" she hums, wiping away his tear. "for what?"

"for not giving up, for always being there for everyone even when you weren't ok. You're a really really good person JJ"

He smiles and letting his cheeks go red. Pressing a firm kiss to her temple he lets a laugh escape his lips. "you wanna go home?" he asks her. She nods standing up and following him to her car. "you know, I don't think home is a place. It's a person" she says, looking up at her new blonde boyfriend.

"who's your home?"

"you"

"you're my home to princess"

Camilla laughs, getting into the drivers side of her car. She never thought of JJ as the 'lovey dovey' type of boyfriend but he hadn't stopped and she really loved it.

His hand wrest on her thigh, rubbing his thumb back and fourth as she drives back to the chateau. "can we keep this on the down low?" the blonde asks when they get back to the house. "that's my thing!" she giggles "yes Jay, we can."

Cami smiles as JJ kisses her lightly before getting out of the car and going inside. "jesus christ you scared the hell out of me" John B says rushing to JJ and hugging him.

"woah unexpected PDA there Bree, I'm ok dude" he chuckles, shoving his best friend off. John B sighs, shaking his head.

"hey i'm going to Popes for the night, I'm helping Heyward first thing so I'll see you tomorrow" the brunette informs before rushing out the door.
