JJ Maybank Imagines

Wish I could Take your pain🤍

(JJ and Y/n are not dating in this, they are best friends but they definitely have feelings for each other)

Today was boring. I didn't see any of my friends. JJ's been AWOL since yesterday, I'm starting to get worried.

John B and Sarah are out on a date. Pope's working, and Kiara is grounded. So I chose today to catch up on homework and and chores.

I cleaned my room for the first time in I don't know how long. Did my laundry too. I'm proud of myself, I usually don't have the energy for anything like this. But, like I said, Today was boring.

Now I'm in my room reading a book I was supposed to finish in my English class. Divergent by Veronica Roth. My All time favourite movie, and the books are amazing too.

My door bursts open and I flinch. When I calm down I notice it's JJ, but he doesn't look like the usual JJ. His eyes are red and puffy like he's been crying. His cheek bone is cut and bruised. What the hell happened to him.

"Your mom let me in." He stands at the foot of my bed, he looks like he's about to cry.

"What happened, Jay? Did someone do this to you? Was it Rafe? Did Rafe jump you again?" I close my book and start panicking, "I swear to god I'm going to kill that Cameron Cunt." He shakes his head as a no.

"M-My dad." A tear falls from his cheek and I move to the end of the bed to wrap my arms around him, he immediately hugs me back holding his arms around my waist and crying into my shoulder.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I whisper, trying to be at least some way helpful. But I don't know what to do. He shakes his head.

"Just hold me, please." He mumbles into my shoulder.

My heart is breaking to see him like this. I want Luke dead, he's a shit Father, and a coward for beating his own son. But most of all I want JJ's pain to go away, I hate when he is in pain. If I could take all his suffering away and trade places, I'd do it in a heart beat.

"Come on, you need to lay down and get some rest." I move away from him and let him onto the bed, he lays down and pulls me with him. He lays his head in the crook of my neck and wraps his arms around my waist. I bring one hand to play with his hair because I know it comforts him. And I use my other hand to trace patterns on his arm.

JJ has always loved physical affection. I think he uses it as a way to know that I'm still there. It calms his anxiety and remind him that he's not alone.

"Thank you for always being here for me." A tear falls from my eye as he speaks, I let it fall because I know he can't see me. "I love you, Y/n." I don't know if he meant this as in more than a friend, or as a best friend. But either way I love him too.

"I love you too, Jay." I kiss the top of his head and continue playing with his hair.

"You know, you're the only person I know that calls me Jay." I know he is trying to take his mind off of everything. It's how he copes with things. He finds something else to talk about so that he doesn't have to think about the thing that bothers him. But I know when he's hurting.

"I am?" His thumb starts tracing circles on the bare skin of my waist.

"Mhm" he hums a yes and nudges his head further into the crook of my neck. I think he's tired. Now that I think of it, I'm pretty tired too. We lay in silence for a while before eventually falling asleep in each other's arms.

I love this boy with my whole heart. And I hate to see him hurt. So no matter how bad it is, I will always be by his side, and I will always want to take his pain. Because he is my everything, he is what matters most. He may not see it, but to me he is so important. I don't know what I'd do without him.
