WHY WAS JJ SO ANGRY WITH COLLINS? Truthfully, even he didn't understand why his feelings towards her were so strong. Part of him realized he was being ridiculous, but sometimes his pride was bigger than his brain, and right now his pride wouldn't allow him to let Collins back in as easily as the rest of his friends had.
Sure, they were all just kids when Collins left. And not long after that, Kie transferred schools and for a little while, they lost her too. But at least she kept coming back. She made an effort to hang out with them. She wanted to still be their friend.
Collins, however, just left. He'd been heartbroken when Mr. and Mrs. Campbell passed away, they were 2 of the only people to treat him like he was more than just a little kid.
As soon as he'd been told about their deaths, his first thought was of Collins. He knew that she didn't have any other relatives, judging from the fact that they never spent Thanksgiving or Christmas with anyone other than the 3 of them.
He made a promise to himself that he was going to be there for her. He may have just been a kid, but he swore he'd protect her and be there for her the best that he could. So when he found out that she'd left the island completely, he was heartbroken again.
His dad was a cruel man. Had been for a long time. He couldn't even tell his son about the death of the Campbell's, he heard it from John B. the next day. By the time he'd gotten on his bike and pedaled to their home, Collins was gone.
He was unaware that she'd be back to pack some of her things not long after he finally gave up on waiting because he knew his dad would be pissed, and they ended up missing each other by less than 10 minutes.
As JJ laid in bed, part of him regretted asking to be taken home. But when he thought of how Collins left them and then just showed up out of the blue, his anger came back.
When he showed up at The Wreck with Pope and John B., the second she turned around, he knew who she was even though half a decade had gone by.
