Wish we Could grow up

NO ONES POV

You look over to see JJ jump off his bike you go to say hi but he hurry's past you and pushes the door open forcefully.

You get up and follow him in to the house nervous of what bad decisions he could be making

"JJ where are you what's going on " you say loudly walking in to the house you hear shuffling from the spare room you walk over quietly and open the door slightly

You see him on the floor with his hair in his hands you can tell he's crying you knock on the door quietly

"Go away " you hear from inside the room you smile to your self as you get an idea

"well this blunt isn't going to smoke itself" you say leaning on the wall outside the room you hear some more shuffling then the door cracks open

"Gimme" he says reaching out to you

"only if you tell me what's going on" you say calmly as you hold the blunt in your hand

"fine" he says swinging the door open and moving out of the way for you to walk in

You instantly see his busted lip and black eye

"omg JJ are you ok" you ask running up to him and holding his face in your hands studying his injuries

"Yea I'm fine it's nothing new" he says taking the blunt out of your hand and lighting it he puts it between his lips and takes a deep breath you watch as his muscles relax

Some how that was therapeutic to him it calmed him down his breathing evens out and the redness from his face fades

"What happened" you ask siting next to him

"I got home and my dad was going through my room and looking in all my stuff so I asked him what he was doing and he told me he was late on a payment to Barry and that he needed money " he says rubbing his knuckles

" I told him to give me a day and I could get him some money but he wouldn't listen and he kept accusing me of stealing from him and he got mad and...." He says looking at the floor

"And he hit me" he says you can tell he's tearing up you put your hand over his to comfort him

" hey come on let's clean you up" you say standing up still holding his hand he stands up and follows you smiling

You lead him to the kitchen and hop up on the sink and he sits on a bar stool facing you

" hey there's a med kit in the bottom drawer can you grab it " you ask grabbing a rag and running it under cold water

He sits back down and looks at you and he looks like he's about to be sick

" J are you okay" you ask looking at him then you see a red stain on his shirt and watch as it gets bigger

" holly shit " you say as you help him up and lead him over to the couch and lay him down and pull up his shirt

You have to close your eyes for a moment when you see how much damage his father really had done

you calm yourself down and assess his wound it was a cut about an inch wide and a half inch deep

" How did this happen" you ask cleaning the cut gently

"He uh pushed me down and I landed on a rock" he says wincing as he talked

"I swear to god I'm going to kill that man" you mummer

"I was gonna do it" you hear JJ whisper as you place a bandage over the cut you can hear him crying when he sits up he goes to walk off but you stop him by hugging him

He began to sob and hugged you back

" I can't take it anymore" he says holding on to you

" just a few more years" you whisper running your fingers through his hair

"Then we run away to Yucatán" he whispers back smiling

"Yup" you say still holding him
