JJ Maybank Imagines

tw: abuse, neglect

I've always hated talking about my feelings and home life to JJ. Not because I didn't trust him it's because his is considerably worse. I've never got hit but the verbal abuse is a constant.

All of my fathers harsh words are always flooding my thoughts. Or all of the times I've had to drag my mother out of bed just so she'll go to work. Most of my days are spent babysitting and taking care of things around the house.

Lately things have gotten bad again. My dad never seems to be in a good mood and my mom hasn't left the couch in days.

I was spending yet another day at home, skipping school. My father was working, my mom was out doing god knows what and my 2 younger brothers where at school.

I begin to clean up the very neglected kitchen. Most of it was scattered with old food and dirty dishes. Tears brim my eyes as I think about everything I've ever been told by my parents.

you're not good enough.

loose weight.

you do nothing to help out.

I know I know you hate us so much.

how about you get off your ass for once.

My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of my best friends voice. I wipe my tears and turn to face the blonde. He's the only one I ever let over when the house was at this state. I knew he didn't care.

"hey, where have you been?" he chuckles while walking over. It didn't take him long to see my teary eyes. "what's wrong?" he asked.

I shake my head "nothing... why aren't you at school?" I ask in return, trying to change the subject. "I came to ask you the same thing, what's going on y/n?" he says, clearly worried.

When I don't reply he pulls me into a hug, my head wresting on his chest so I can hear his heartbeat. "I'm ok" I whisper despite that not being the truth. I was anything but fine.

"I'm always here" he says, rubbing my back. "you want some help cleaning this up?" JJ offers. I pull away and nod with a smile. I quickly kiss his cheek causing him to blush and hide his smile before we start cleaning.

Despite all our effort I knew it wouldn't be enough for the father but at least I'd feel cleaner. "I'm sorry you have to help me with this, it's disgusting" I sigh.

"no it's fine, better than the crack my dad smokes" he chuckles. I wish I could joke about this stuff like JJ jokes about his dad. It was like he didn't even care.

A few hours later we found ourselves on the beach, passing a blunt back and fourth.

"why haven't you been coming over, everyone's missed you" JJ pouts. I shake my head "just my parents you know how they are" I say.

JJ turns to me, telling me to continue with just his eyes. "I don't know, it's all becoming to much. Just the constant comments and nagging. I feel like shit for feeling this way because I could have it so much worse but what if he's right Jay? And my mom, she hasn't gotten up in days unless it's to go out random places. I-I just don't know what to do..." I vent.

He nods, showing that he was listening. "don't feel like shit that's normal. He's not right because he has the most badass, hard working daughter in the world. And for your mom, that's not your fault" he says honestly.

The blonde pulls me into his side. "don't shut me out again" he says, kissing the top of my head. I nod "I love you Jay" I say softly.

"I love you too"
