JJ Maybank Imagines

Pain🤍

16 feels like a never ending loop. I wake up, hangout with the Pogues, and then sleep. There's nothing interesting about my life anymore. When I first met JJ and John B, it made me feel alive, we'd break into houses under construction, ignore the law, stay awake until our eyes burned to close. It was amazing. But nothings changing, it feels boring now, I want more, I want to feel alive again.

I walked down the middle of the road, it's pitch black out. Maybe a car will come to fast without seeing me, and the endless loop will finally end.

I haven't seen the Pogues for almost two weeks now. They kept calling and texting me about a treasure hunt, it was getting annoying so I tossed my phone in the ocean. I don't want to see them, I don't want to go look for some treasure like little kids. I don't want to be alive.

It was dark enough outside that I don't think a car would see me too well. Most of the people on the cut don't have very bright headlights anyway. I laid down on the road and stayed still. The concrete was hot from being in the sun all day, but I could tell it was cooling down from the cold night.

Headlights. There's a car coming, not as fast as I had hoped but it'll be enough to hurt. I closed my eyes and waited.

"I swear the car was closer, why hasn't it hit me yet." I whispered, my eyes were still closed, where's this damn car?

"It hasn't hit you because it stopped." A familiar voice spoke. I groaned figuring out who it was. JJ. I opened one eye just to make sure, yep the same blonde with the same amount of sarcasm.

"JJ what are you doing." I rolled my eyes at the blonde hovering above me with a tilted head.

"Me? I should be asking you the same question. Y/n get up, when your old and grey and wrinkly, then I'll push you in front of a car. But until then, your not leaving me." He extended his hand out to me, taking it would mean going back to the endless loop, letting it hang there would mean.. Actually I don't know what it would mean. Maybe I'll let it hang there just to find out.

"I'm not getting up." I growled at the blonde. He nodded and started walking away. Hm that was easy. Too easy. I felt a blanket fall on me. Opening my eyes I see JJ laying down beside me. "JJ, go home." I turned my head to face him only to see he was already looking at me.

"Y/n I am not leaving without you. So we can sit here all night in the cold, or you can come back to John B's and we can tell you everything that's been happening, cause there sure is a lot of shit you missed." He kinda chuckled as he spoke the last sentence. The truth is, I don't care about what I missed out on or what surf board John B ruined or what classes Pope is passing in and how many blunts JJ can smoke in an hour. I want my life back. But I know JJ is too stubborn and he will legitimately stay here all night with me if he has to.

"I'm not doing this because I want to, I'm doing this so you don't freeze to death." I stated standing up and walking toward the Van.

It was the next day, the Pogues had caught me up on everything that happened. And holy shit JJ was right, this wasn't regular Pogue mischief this was straight out of a movie.

Pope was at us scholarship interview, and the rest of us were sitting on the dock looking out at the water.

"You sure he got everything?" Kiara questioned with a sad tone. John B had explained to us how he went to check the well only to find that Ward stole the gold. I looked down at the deck, I kinda wished I had been there for everyone while this was going on.

"Every bar." John B replied with an annoyed expression. He wasn't to happy so I've heard, and by the looks of it he could kill Ward for what he's done. "The whole enchilada." He threw a rock into the water and I watched it splash.
