JJ's Pov
I opened my eyes, I lifted my arm up, the one with the cuts, I wanted to finish was I started, but they were all bandaged up. I tried standing up but I fell back down for my lack of blood. Where was my top? I couldn't care less, I grabbed the pocket knife that was still next to me, I held it up, looking at it. Who put these bandages on me? Who took my top off? Who cleaned me up? I looked at the knife, then placed it on my wrist, a bit above the bandages.
The door opened, I didn't have enough time to remove the knife from my wrist, I made eye contact with Kiara, I saw her eyes travel from my eyes too the knife, she placed her hand on her mouth, a tear rolled down her cheek. I placed the knife down on the bed, then placing a pillow on top of my head, I didn't want to face her yelling at me right now.
Kiara's Pov
I watched him place that pillow over his head, I couldn't believe it, I actually didn't think he was serious when he said he was suicidal, but I didn't know like this. JJ Maybank tried to kill himself, and I ignored his cries for help! "JJ!" I said, removing my hand from my face, I walked up to him slowly, moving away the pillow, he looked at me, he had tears all over his face.
"JJ, please don't leave me." I whispered, pulling him in for a hug, he groaned in pain, since I was pressing up against his cuts and bruises, he pulled away, laying back, he put his hands over his eyes, I moved his hands away and stared at him, I lay down next to him, I put my arm around him, hugging him, cuddling into him.
"Why'd you do it ..." I whispered, he looked at me and whispered; "My Dad called me worthless everyday, I tried staying strong, Kie, for you. I tried so hard, I really did! Please believe me Kie, I tried, I just couldn't take it anymore!" JJ said, raising his voice, tears ran down his cheek uncontrollably. "I know! I know you tried, you tried your best ..." I whispered, hugging him even more, crying with him
"Is there any other reason?" I asked, I knew there was, his Dad never really seemed to bother him before, but yet again, he never told us about it, this is the second time I've seen him cry, ever. The first time was the breakdown in the hot tub, but this was by far the worst.
"Yes, you. I've loved you ever since I met you, and when Pope texted me saying that you two are official, it broke me, I went home, I let my Dad beat me, I basically drove him to it, he stabbed me, then I tried killing myself, I was trying to make everyone's lives easier, by leaving." JJ whispered, I was shocked.
I never knew that he had feelings for me ... He ... Loves me? I didn't know. I've always had feelings for him as well ... I only dated Pope to move on from him, and also, pity.
