My Sun - JJ Maybank

Chapter 75: Blood

Louis and John B ran. It pained John B to hear the sniffles and sobs that escaped Louis.

John B knew something happened with JJ and him, so for Louis to also have to deal with the grief of someone he considered a dad made John B feel even more guilty. Louis didn't deserve any of this pain.

"Louis I'm-"

"No... Don't say anything." Louis whispered, continuing to run beside John B, his blood on his hands slowly drying and staining his pale skin.

The rest of the run was quiet. John B looking back every now and then to make sure Louis was okay and Louis constantly looking at his hands, the blood making his skin itch and heart hurt. The two boys kept running until they made it to a shed, it was the destination they picked in case any pogue ever got seperated.

The boys just missed Pope having a meltdown, one that had JJ encouraging Pope to smoke, which Pope gladly accepted. Leo hated that Pope was doing such a thing and kept glaring at Mattie anytime he would go near JJ.

JJ and Mattie were the reason Louis hadn't shown up in hours and Leo absolutely hated that.

John B was the first to enter, his hands shaking so badly from the blood under his nails and on his hands. JJ was the first to notice and quickly ran to John B's side. Louis was behind John B but hiding by a wall, keeping his presence hidden slightly.

"Dude! Dude, you good?" JJ asks, rushing to his friend and trying to search for any wounds. 

Mattie being the overprotective and manipulating person he is went up behind JJ and hugged him from behind, causing the blonde to glare and flinch from the contact slightly. But JJ couldn't worry about himself. JJ had to worry about his friend at the moment.

 "Oh, my God! John B!" Kie yells, running to her friend with tears forming in her eyes with the thought of him being hurt.

Louis stepped out from John B, however it wasn't that he wanted too, but his legs gave away and he fell to the floor, creating a loud crash that happened behind John.

Louis whole body was shaking and Louis was trying desperately to get the blood off of him, so much so he was scratching his arms and creating his own blood to mix with his dead fathers.

"Louis!" Leo yells, running to his brother and hugging him tightly. Leo didn't care about the blood at the moment, he was just thankful to see his brother after so long.

Louis breaks down when Leo gives him at hug. How on earth was Louis suppose to tell his little brother that their father was dead? How was he suppose to go home and look Anne in the eyes after everything he witnessed? Louis was indeed the cause of Henry's death. If only Louis didn't wear the vest than he would be okay.

The vest....

The vest Louis was wearing right now, the same one that saved him but not Henry.

Louis begins to feel like he is suffocating. Louis feels as if the vest is getting tighter around his body. He needed it off. He needed it off now.

"O-off.... off!" Louis struggles trying to pull at the vest but his hands shake to much that he can't do anything.

It just seems to get tighter.

"Louis... Mikey hey." JJ bends down, trying to help the boy but Louis flinches away from him.

"No! No-not you!" Louis all but pleads, causing JJ to back up in fear.

Mattie saw this as his opportunity to once again belittle Louis and hurt the boys more. Mattie pulls JJ into a hug, trying to show Louis that he is now the one comforting the blonde and not him.

To make everything worse for Louis, Mattie than pulls JJ into a small shared kiss after whispering words of encouragement, and Louis feels his heart break more and the vest tighten.

JJ hated the kiss. It gave flashbacks to last night. I gave flashbacks of something he never wanted to remember. It almost made JJ want to gag from how forced the kiss was. How different the kiss felt to the ones he had with Louis

Louis tugs at the vest once more and with the help of Kie, he finally gets it off. Louis quickly throws it away from him and grabs at his heart, trying to get some sense of reality back.

"Is this yours?" Leo asks, and looks between his brother and John B.

 "Whose blood is that?" Kie asks.

Louis just shakes his head and attempts to breath, attempts to get some sense on the world.

JJ feels his heart crack when he hears the whimpers and sobs that escape Louis, and JJ wishes more than anything to comfort him.

But JJ deserved this.

JJ deserved to be forced into this relationship that held manipulation, abuse, and lust.

Mattie tightens his grip of JJ, too tight for JJ's liking. The grip Mattie had was right on JJ's bruises ribs, and JJ took it as a warning to keep his mouth quiet. As much as JJ wanted to help Louis, JJ was stuck.

He was absolutely and completely stuck.

Sirens go off in the distance and Louis cries even more, clinging onto his brother still.

Not only is Louis crying now because of the sirens but also from the look Mattie gives JJ, and how open JJ is to show that he moved on.

If only Louis were in a proper mindset than maybe Louis would be able to piece together the disturbed look in JJ's eyes. Or the reasoning why Mattie, the boy who told Louis all of JJ's secrets, was now clinging onto JJ's side. If Louis were thinking straight, maybe just maybe he would of figured out that Mattie was playing with the boys all along.

But Louis didn't. For he just witnessed the death of a loved one, and had blood on his hands once more.

The sirens going off remind Louis that never again will any siren be caused by the hands of Henry Brooks. Never again will any siren be pulled by his father.

Henry Brooks was dead. Louis saw it.

JJ moved on. Louis was witnessing it.

Louis was completely alone. Louis was living it.

Blood was on his hands, Louis hoped maybe soon the only blood on his hands would be his own.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is late but I wanted to do another update. SO HI!

Um.. this is sad :(

Does anyone else feel bad for JJ?

Like I feel like JJ is in the manipulative relationship he can't get out of because Mattie holds so many secrets of JJ and also because apart of JJ feels like he deserves this. 

Louis is depressed.... which sucks. Um... he with soon confront JJ which won't end well because guess who is going to be there to witness it all?

Let me know if you liked it and what you want to see in Book 2! I am taking any ideas :)

Hope you like this.
