JJ Maybank Imagines

"What the fuck did you just say?"

Immediately, you let go of his neck. Fuck, why did you say that? You just revealed one of your biggest secrets. This wasn't supposed to happen.

"I- uhm-" you stuttered, becoming just a little sober. JJ stared at you in shock. He couldn't believe the words that just came out of your mouth.

"Y/n you said that Jace gave you bruises. What do you mean? Is he hitting you?"

You swallowed. Could you deny it? Would JJ believe it if you said it was a joke? Or was this the moment you could finally tell someone the truth?

So, you nodded, looking down so you could avoid eye contact. JJ's mouth fell open. He couldn't believe that he didn't notice his best friend's boyfriend was hitting her. "What?!" Was all he could bring out. Sighing, you sat down on JJ's bed. You were afraid to explain everything. To tell why you kept it a secret, all the things Jace did, and why he was doing this.

So to ease the pain you added, "Only when I deserve it." JJ's eyes widened. He could tell you were brainwashed by Jace. But at some point, you did believe that you deserved it. He made you believe that.

JJ squatted down in front of you, grabbing your hands and slowly rubbing them with his thumbs. "You think that you deserve it?" You shrugged, still looking at your lap. "When does he do it?" JJ asked.

"When I come home late, don't text him back immediately, when I say something that upsets him or when I'm a lot with you." The last thing was almost a whisper. JJ sighed in frustration. He was mad, furious even. But he also felt bad for you, and really guilty too.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked after a few seconds of silence. "I'm sorry, I couldn't. Jace would be so mad and I was so scared."

JJ stood up and sat next to you. He wrapped his arms around you. You laid your head against his chest. "I'm so so sorry you had to go through this, sweetheart. I'm so sorry I never noticed. But I promise I will be there for you and I will help you." He placed a gentle kiss on your head and caressed your back softly. "It's not your fault" you quietly let out.

Then you felt a wave of tiredness and the effects of the alcohol hit you. You felt your eyelids get heavier. JJ picked you up and layed you down in bed, immediately after that you dozed off.

When you woke up, your eyes fluttered open. After blinking a few times, you noticed that you were in JJ's room in the Chateau. You sat up and rubbed your eyes. Your head pounded. Suddenly, JJ burst into the room. He carried a tray in his hands.

"Oh you're awake. I wanted to wake you up cause I made breakfast." He held the tray up. You saw a plate with pancakes and two glasses of orange juice.

"Thanks" you mumbled, still suffering from that giant headache. "And I brought you this." He showed you an aspirin. "Just what I need."

He sat down next to you and you took the aspirin, hoping your headache will ease. You both started eating and to your surprise, the pancakes tasted really good.

You stayed silent, remembering the conversation from yesterday. About Jace. You really didn't want to talk about it again. But you knew JJ was about to bring it up.

"Uhm, about yesterday.." he started, glancing at you. You swallowed and nodded slowly. "You probably don't want to talk about it but.. we have to talk about it now you're sober." You knew he was right. You knew this was the moment you had to be honest. So, you told him everything. From the beginning.

About how everything started well but then changed drastically. JJ listened carefully and held your hand. When you were finished, you noticed that your cheeks were wet. JJ wiped the tears away with his sleeve.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you" you whispered. JJ shook his head. "That's ok sweetheart, it's not your fault. It's good you're telling me now. And I'm really proud of you." He pressed a gentle kiss on your head.

"Do you uhm- do you want me to go with you to Jace today? I don't want you anywhere near him ever again." You looked up at him surprised. You didn't think a second about breaking up with him now. Of course you couldn't stay with that idiot anymore after this. JJ would never let you.

The thought of going alone to him, especially to break up with him, scared you and made you nauseous. So you nodded. Secretly relieved that you were finally relieved from Jace after today.

"I will go with you and I promise you'll be safe."
