JJ was your best friend before he was your ex boyfriend. You had only dated for a few months until the inevitable breakup came along. But that was about half a year ago, and JJ was the one who broke it off. You didn't blame him though, so much was happening in your lives: trying to find the Royal Merchant, JJ having to deal with his dad, John B becoming a fugitive, and all the other chaos that followed.
Of course you guys stayed friends afterwards. Kiara would always ask you if it was ever weird being around him after the two of you had broken up. And the truth is, it wasn't weird at all. There had been too much stuff to worry about to even think about the breakup. It wasn't until everyone found out that John B and Sarah were still alive when you finally started to think about everything that happened between you and JJ.
You were still very much in love with him, but you would never tell him that. Everyone was finally somewhat happy again and you didn't want to ruin that.

"Who wants a hit?" JJ asked as he held out his joint to everyone in John B's van.
"No thanks," everyone said in unison.
JJ looked at his friends with a disappointing face as they all bursted out laughing.
"I need cooler friends," JJ stated jokingly.
"Yeah good luck finding people who will actually want to deal with your ass," John B chuckled making everyone laugh. Sarah smacked him upside the head making him scoff.
"Fuck you guys," JJ pouted, glancing at you and smirking.
"On that note, I'm going to bed," Kie added while slowly getting out of the van. "Night, losers."
Pope followed a few minutes after, followed by John B and Sarah going back inside the chateau. You and JJ were left sitting in the van once they all said their good nights.
JJ stared at you before motioning his head for you to come sit by him. Once you had made your way over to him, he offered you his joint. You stared at it before looking him in the eyes and shaking your head.
"Oh come on Y/n, you haven't gotten high with me in forever," JJ tried to convince you with sad eyes.
"You're insanely good at peer pressuring, you know that?" You ask while smiling at him.
"It's my job to get beautiful girls like you to let loose and have some fun every now and then," he responded back while taking another hit.
He was insanely attractive. You watched him intently as he slowly blew the smoke out of his mouth.
"Give me the joint, asshat," you smirked as you took the joint from his hand.
You took a hit and immediately felt the smoke hit the back of your throat, causing a familiar burning sensation. You made eye contact with JJ and blew the smoke back out and into his face. He smirked at you as you handed the joint back to him.
"That was hot," he spoke quietly, not breaking eye contact with you.
"Shut up," you replied shoving his shoulder playfully. "Guys are so horny."
"I have to see you every day, hell yeah I'm gonna be horny."
"I think you're a little too high, JJ. The weed is starting to talk."
JJ's smile faded slightly as he watched you get a little nervous. You were nervous. You weren't sure if JJ actually meant what he was saying, or if he was just flirting to pass the time. You could feel the tension growing as the two of you stared at each other intently. JJ lifted his hand and rested it on the side of your face, gently using his thumb to rub your cheek. You were falling for him all over again. His eyes glanced between your eyes and lips, making you even more nervous than before. He tossed the end of the joint that was still in his other hand out the window.
"Y/n," JJ whispered.
"Hm," you hummed in response.
"I should've never let you go."
You almost choked on air. The words you've been waiting to hear for months had finally escaped his mouth. You looked at JJ not knowing what to say.
"Then why did you?" You asked once you found your voice again.
"Because I don't deserve you, Y/n. You're so incredibly beautiful and kind. I've never been so intimidated by a person in my life," JJ answered as he leaned in and rested his forehead on yours. "I miss you, Y/n. I miss you so fucking much."
You finally closed the space between the two of you, connecting your lips with his. His hand that was previously holding the joint made its way to the other side of your face. You wrapped your hands around the back of his neck pulling him closer to you in order to deepen the kiss. A smile crept its way across your lips. JJ pulled away and looked down at you.
"What are you smiling at?" He asked while also smiling.
"Your lips are still as soft as I remember," you laughed lightly while rubbing your thumb across his bottom lip.
JJ let out a small chuckle as you sat admiring his features.
"I missed you," you whispered.
"And I love you," he whispered back while leaning in for another kiss.
