JJ Maybank Imagines

Terrified

warnings: abuse, drugs, alcohol

The last time I saw JJ he was getting dragged away by the police. Him and Pope had sunken Toppers boat, JJ took all the blame. Although that was nearly 2 days ago.

I thought he'd come back after but he was still gone. I decided I'd stop by his house to see what was going on. The directions there where burned into my soul from the amount of times I'd been.

Believe it or not before JJs mom went missing Luke wasn't an awful guy. JJ and I had always been friends so a lot of my childhood was spent at JJs until my parents told me it wasn't safe.

When I pull into the driveway I notice Luke's truck was gone which was a good sign. Luke didn't dare hit me, he knew that he'd go straight to jail considering my dad was a cop.

You can imagine my father wasn't so pleased to see JJ wander into the station.

With that I walk into JJs house, the sent of weed filling the small home. Music blasts from JJs room indicating that he was in there. "Jay!" I yell over the music while knocking on the door.

When I didn't get an answer I open the door. I definitely scared him because he jumped pinning me onto the wall. The second he noticed it was me and not Luke he let go.

His was face scattered with bruises, his lip busted and his cheeks tear stained. "it's just me" I say calmly. The boy begins rapidly apologizing.

I look around his room, it was trashed. When he's upset he tends to throw things and trash the place. Pictures, clothes and beer bottled scattered the floor.

I finally got a good look at his face, poor baby looked terrified.

"hey, are you ok?" I ask. He shakes his head, choking back his tears. I pull him into a hug and he immediately breaks down in my arms.

"he wouldn't stop y/n he just kept hitting me, it was so scary" he sobs. I knew JJ hated being venerable so it must've been really bad. I rub his back, tears of my own brimming my eyes. I'd never felt this terrible for him, I always felt bad but this was different, he was petrified.

JJ never got so scared to the point he'd shove me against a wall.

"it's ok, I've got you." I hum, still holding him tightly. After a minute or so he pulls away. I cup his face with my hands and wipe his tears.

"I love you JJ, and I'm always here. You always always always, have a home at my house, mkay?"

He nods, pushing my hands down and uttering a thank you.

"how about we clean this up, yea? Let's have a fresh start?" I say. "yeah... yeah let's do that" he smiles slightly.

I turn on some more upbeat, happy music to lighten the mood. I take his hand and spin him around, making him laugh. "there's the JJ I know!" I giggle while still dancing around him.

He sarcastically rolls his eyes with a laugh. We pick up all his laundry and throw it in the washer. All of the trash littered around is thrown into a trash bag.

"go through your clothes, throw away what you down want" I instruct him. He nods his head and starts pulling stuff out while I put his clean clothes on hangers.

The room fell quiet before I hear a soft whimper. I walk over to him, he was looking at a picture of him and his mom. I rub his back.

"I miss her" he sighs, wiping away any tears. "I know you do" I say quietly.

"she's missing out on a amazing, strong, handsome, blue eyed boy" I smile up at him, making him blush.

Not long later he'd made a pile of stuff to get rid of and all of this other clothes where hung. I made his bed and neatened up his desk.

"you ever gonna ditch the half naked girl posters?" I ask with a laugh, there was a couple hung on the wall from middle school. "nah, it's kinda like an artifact" he says proudly, making me shake my head with a laugh.

"and we're done!" I step back, looking at the clean room. He smiles while examining it. "thank you" JJ says genuinely.

"that's what I'm here for" I smile back, running a hand through his hair.

"JJ get your ass in here!"

We both jump at the sudden yell, clearly it came from Luke. "go out the window I'll be right out" JJ says, ushering me to the window.

"no," I say sternly "he won't hit me, he knows he'd go straight to jail" I knew JJ couldn't argue with that because it was true.

I take the blondes hand, walking out of the bedroom and into the living room where Luke stands. "come here boy" he hisses but I step between them.

JJs hand squeezes mine tightly the closer he gets. "don't fucking touch him Luke" he spat. "oh what are you gonna do? princess." he snarls.

"hm I'm not sure? My dad is a cop, I could send you to prison for uhhh let's see! Drug abuse, alcohol abuse, abusing your child, theft, do you want me to keep going?"

He grits his teeth with a scoff, I had the man stumped. "now if you don't mind, we're going to leave" I say, pulling JJ to the door and dragging him to my car.

Once we get into the car JJ takes a loud deep breath, grabbing at his chest. "just breath he's not gonna hurt you" I say softly. The blonde takes a few deep breath's before calming down.

"thank you y/n"

"you're welcome Jay"
