I open my eyes slowly, and feel a body on top of me. When I look down a bit, I find a head of messy, blonde bed hair. I begin to run my fingers through it, enjoying every second of what we have.
"Good morning, princess," a groggy voice says.
I giggle, "Good morning."
"How'd you sleep?"
"Comfortably," I answer. I glance down, and JJ shifts up to the pillow. We stare into each other's eyes with a smile. "How about you?"
"With you, everything is amazing," he says. He's so cheesy, but I love it. Suddenly, a frown crosses his face. "What's wrong," I ask softly.
"I have to go home today," he answers. He peels his eyes off of me.
"Why?"
"I need to grab some clothes," he tells me.
"Oh, well.. Then, I'm coming," I respond. He immediately sits up. "No," he says blankly.
I get up, kneeling on the bed. "Yes, JJ," I exclaim. "I told you that I won't let you go back alone again."
"Brie, you can't," he shouts. He runs his hands through his hair, then quickly comes to me. He bends down and presses his palms on either side of my belly. "Look.. Brie, you're pregnant, and my dad's dangerous. I won't put you or the baby in danger."
"J," I whisper. I climb off the bed to kiss him softly. Then, I look him dead in the eyes and say, "I'm coming."

JJ holds his hand out, and I rest my palm in his. He helps me step out of the Twinkie, then he slams the door shut. As we're walking to the front door of his dad's house, he steps in front of me.
"Hey, are you sure you wanna do this," he asks. He looks extremely worried.
"Yes," I answer with a reassuring smile. "I won't let him hurt any of us."
JJ takes a moment to process, then nods. I know he's still unsure about this, but I can't imagine his father being so terrible that he would hit a pregnant woman.
JJ throws the front door open, and I follow him inside. I look around at the trashy trailer. There are pill and beer bottles everywhere. JJ turns to me, placing his hands on my cheeks. "I'll be right back, okay?"
