JJ pulled up to the small house, getting off his bike. Leaves and broken tree branches were scattered across the yard as he jogged up to the porch. The storm didn't do much damage around there, thankfully.

He opened the screen door, unlocking the main door. He entered quickly and quietly, not wanting to disturb them.

"Morning."

He turned around being startled seeing Mary on the couch with her blanket.

"Thought you were asleep."

She shrugged, "Eh, sleeping is for the weak."

He chuckled quietly, walking over to the kitchen " Sorry I'm late."

"Don't worry, all that matters is that you're safe and home."

He put the bag of vegetables in the refrigerator and went over to her.

"But next time you decide not to put gas in your bike and go out into a storm, you'll be staying out there."

He nodded, taking a seat next to her, "Noted."

"Other than that, how was your time there?"

"With Carrera?"

"Mhm"

He sighed, making himself a little more comfortable, "Uh, it was nice, I mean...she's definitely not what I thought she was."

"So..you could say that y'all are friends?"

"Semi friends, why?."

She shook her head, "No reason, I just think she'd be good for you."

He narrowed his brows, "Good for me?"

"Yeah, listen I love you, but you do need more friends besides me and your father."

"What do you mean, I have JB and Pope."

"You do but what about when they're not there...what about...when I'm not here."

His gaze fell, knowing exactly what she's asking, "Don't say that."

"JJ-"

"Ma don't, you're gonna be fine, nothing is gonna happen because you'll be okay."

Before Mary could add anything, a hard cough escaped her mouth. JJ immediately sat up scooting over, patting her back as panic washed over him. She covered her mouth while small droplets of blood fell onto her hand. She could hardly breathe with her head feeling like staples and nails were being punctured inside her brain.

"Get.....your....f-father"

He did what she said, hopping off the couch, running to their room, "Dad, DAD!"

Luke abruptly opened his eyes, seeing a frantic JJ by the door, "What, what's wrong?"

"Mom, s-she's not okay."

He heard panic laced his voice which made his heart drop. He got out of bed and quickly passed him. The blonde rushed over to Mary holding her head in lap as he stroked her hair.
