prologue

JJ and Juliett known each other for one year, exactly this day. At Work, and for Julietts Uncle Thomas, they were inseparable since Day One.
It seemed like the Teenagers instantly klicked.
Juliett liked JJ's flirty behavior and how he treated her special.
Which is exactly why, everytime someone tried to flirt with her, she blew them off, saying she found interest in someone else. She fell for JJ. As hard as you can fall in Love at the Age of 15.
Yet her and JJ were completely different. JJ loved going to the Boneyard, and Juliett loved to stay inside, maybe at the Beach, writing songs, or singing them, and because she never went to Partys, she never met JJs Friends.
So when a few Months ago, JJ knocked on Julietts Door, completely drunk, confessing how his father regularly beats him, he started wonder if he maybe liked her too.

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Which is why a few Weeks later, as they both went to work together, they had this conversation.

"Soooo.." JJ started the Conversation and Juliett looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Have you ever been in love before?"

Julietts Heart startet to hammer against her chest.
"We are pretty young, i don't exactly know what it feels like to be in love." she answered with a quite voice.

After a few minutes of silence she looked up at him.
"Why? Are you in Love?"

JJ put both his hands in his pockets and looked her in the eye. "I don't know if its Love, but its something."

Juliett broke the eye contact and looked at her feet.
"Tell her." she whispered.

"You think?" JJ said, and you could hear that he was nervous.

Juliett looked up. "Yea.. tell her."

Touching her like she was glass, JJ grabbed her face and gave her passionate Kiss.
Julietts breath hitched. But as realization hits, she kissed back.

JJ smiled into the Kiss. She tasted like Cherry Chapstick. It's what he imagined she'd taste like.

As soon as they broke the Kiss, she looked at him.
"I didn't expect that." she whispered.

JJ smiled at her. "I didn't either."

As he pulled her in, kissing her again.

As soon as they broke this kiss.
She coughed. "So what does this make us?"

JJ scratched his neck. "Let's not rush into things. But.. I'd say we are something?"

Juliett answered with a smile. "I'd like that."

JJ smiled back at her kissing her once again.

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

That was exactly one month ago today. So she wanted to celebrate two things.
Right before she saw JJ, she was met with Rafe.
Juliett loved Rafe, as a friend. Maybe the best one she had. But, after things with JJ started, things with Rafe went downhill. So they weren't exactly friends anymore. They knew each other, they did smalltalk, but nothing more.

"You know he's gonna break your heart, right?" Rafe said to her.

Juliett eyed him. "He's not. He wouldn't do that to me."

Juliett felt two strong arms, around her stomach, so she twirled around jumping into JJ's Arms.

"You made it." she squealed.
