My Sun - JJ Maybank

Chapter 66: Walking Away

The drive was very awkward to say the least. Louis tried to engage in a conversation with JJ but JJ glared at him through the rearview mirror, causing Louis to sit back down and avoid all eye contact. Louis knew it was only time until JJ would pull him aside to have a conversation, and if he was being honest, that was the last conversation he wanted to have.

He wasn't himself back then. He was struggling and he wasn't close enough at the time to put his burden on people, so instead he but the burden into drugs. Yet here he was, knowing that would come back to haunt him.

When the van finally came to a stop, JJ was the first to get out and storm to the house not uttering a word, causing Louis to slightly frown as he has never seen his boyfriend this enraged before. 

Louis was the next to exit, John B shook his head at the French boy, trying to tell him it would be best if he stayed here, but of course Louis didn't listen, and went after JJ, causing John B to go after him.

"I know you got a stash around here somewhere." JJ mumbles, beginning to search through the house that was messy and littered with junk.

When John B and Louis entered, Louis instantly was hit with the smell of alcohol and had to cough to try and get some fresh air. Sadly, this wasn't the first time Louis had been in Barry's home. He came here often after dark when he was still using, this was the main house where he would smoke or do coke if it weren't in his bathroom or somewhere random late at night.

Louis hated how he knew this place, but that was just part of his story and he needed to accept it.

"Yeah, so what's your plan, slick?" John B asks the enraged blonde who was trashing the place more than it already was looking for something.

"Well, as thou hath stealeth from us, we shall stealeth from ye." JJ says with sarcasm and hatred all through his voice. 

JJ looks up to John B but avoids Louis. He could stand the thought of looking at Louis right now. The idea of even sharing a second of eye contact made his heart hurt.

"That kind of got lost in translation. " John B mumbles.

"An eye for an eye, John B." JJ says, losing his patients and searching the house once more.

Louis felt bad watching the scene in front of him. He knew JJ was upset with what Barry did, holding a gun to all his friends heads, but Louis was curious if most of this anger was caused because of him, or more so the past he had with Barry.

"Yeah, that's great, JJ. But what happens after you rob a drug dealer, huh? He knows who we are!" John B yells, following JJ to try and get the boy to understand the dangers of what he is doing.

"I'm not scared of this guy." JJ scoffs.

For the first time in almost an hour, JJ and Louis make eye contact, it tears the boys hearts apart when they do.

"Well I am Jay.... I'm really scared of him" Louis whispers, hoping if JJ hears the fear in his voice he might calm down enough to think rationally.

"yeah because you were SO scared when you used him as your drug dealer!" JJ grits out, glaring at his boyfriend before looking back to his bestfriend.

"JJ, don't..." John B mumbles.

JJ walks down a hallway and begins searching through one of the bedrooms. When he finds nothing, he goes to the closet and begins searching their as well. He pulls back with a black duffle bag in hand and smiles in achievement when he pulls out money.

"There we go." JJ mumbles, putting money into his own bag quickly not sparing a glance with either of the boys until he is done.

"What are you doing?" John B asks, following JJ back into the living room of the house which Louis still stands.
