s e v e n - bail

It was 7:30 am, I had to get ready and be at Beach Bar by 8:00 am to open. JJ was still asleep so I quietly got up and showered. He was also still in a lot of pain from last night. I couldn't sleep because the whole night he was tightly squeezing me and crying. JJ was having nightmares about his Dad and that absolutely broke me.

When I got out Theo was waiting at the bathroom door, "Hi buddy." I whispered, petting him.

I put on a bathing suit, sweatshirt, and sandals. I picked my puppy up and grabbed my keys. Theo was really well behaved for a puppy and everyone that he saw walk past or come into Beach Bar, he wanted to play with.

"It's 8:02. You're late." Kessie scoffed. I rolled my eyes and wrote Pope's paycheck for the week, handing it to him.

JJ walked over and kissed me, "You should've woke me up."

"I couldn't, you looked so peaceful!"

I had to work until 3:00 pm. A seven hour shift. Which was horrible because of how many people came to the beach today. Speaking of the beach, there's another party tonight on the beach and like always, tourists are gonna show up.

"Alright, i'm gonna close up. You can go home if you want." Kessie offered while cleaning the counter.

When I got home, I flopped on my bed and closed my eyes. I woke up a few hours later to JJ shaking me, "Hey, it's 8:30 we gotta go."

I didn't have enough time to change so I went in the outfit I had put on earlier. JJ and I walked to the beach because we planned on drinking and we weren't gonna drink and drive.

"Y/N!" Kie shouted and ran up to me.

Hours passed by and we didn't even notice because of how much fun we were having. We drank beers and danced to the summer music. JJ twirled me around and we all swung our heads dancing to the beat.

"I need to talk to you about something Y/N." Nash came up to me and mumbled.

"What the fuck does he want now." I said to myself then giving him a dirty look.

JJ was completely wasted. He walked up to Nash and spit in his face, "Get the fuck away from her." he slurred.

"Oh shit." Sarah stressed and turned to me.

I tried grabbing JJ but before I could, Nash punched him in the face causing him to bleed from his mouth and nose. I threw my drink at Nash and started screaming at him when all of a sudden JJ pushed me out of the way and started beating him. This wasn't gonna be the first time JJ beat up Nash, but hopefully it would be the last because this drama was getting out of hand. The only boy I wanted in my life was JJ, and Nash kept trying to ruin that by slowly trying to get back into my life.

Red and blue lights flashed from a distance as a police siren became louder and louder. The cops ran up to JJ and arrested him, "What the fuck are you doing?" I screamed. Kie held me back as I was trying to run to him.

An officer walked up to me, "He's being arrested for assault and underage drinking. You can come down to the police station if you would like."

Kie, Sarah, John B, Pope, and I all got into John B's van and sped to the police station. The whole ride there I couldn't stop thinking about how Nash got away with the whole thing and JJ was the only one arrested. I was so angry inside and I wanted to walk into that police station and punch every one of the officers in the face. They always had a problem with JJ because of his Dad, but JJ was nothing like his Dad and they just couldn't see that.

When we got there I ran to the desk, "JJ Maybank, how much is his bail?"

"300 dollars"

"Are you serious right now? 300 dollars? The guy hit him first, it was self defense." I criticized.

The lady behind the counter shrugged, "Sorry, you're gonna have to take that up with the officers. Are you paying for his bail or not?"

I went to an ATM that was in the waiting room and cashed out 300 dollars. We waited an hour for them to let him out because they were questioning him about "the assault that he started."

"Y/N would you mind making a statement?"

I got up from the chair and walked into the room. There were cameras in every corner recording, which really didn't seem necessary.

"Hi Y/N, i'll just be asking you a few questions. First, I wanna know how you know that Nash started the fight first and not JJ."

"Because I was standing right there." I admitted.

"And JJ didn't spit in his face?" the officer tilted his eyebrow.

"Nope." I denied. I wasn't gonna snitch on JJ, no matter what happened. And they wouldn't find JJ's DNA on Nash because after I threw my drink on him, he grabbed a napkin and cleaned it off his face.

"I know that he's your boyfriend but you don't have to lie Y/N."

I giggled, "I make my own choices. And i'm not lying sir." although, I was lying. I wasn't lying just because JJ was my boyfriend but because he was my best friend too and I love him.

It was now 2:30 am. They finally got all of our statements and released JJ on bail. Thankfully, all of our stories matched up and we didn't even have to plan it beforehand. We just knew to always stick by one another.

I changed into my pajamas, "Tonight did not go how I thought it would."

"I don't think anyone did." JJ laughed.

I kissed his cheek and laid next to him, "I'm just glad everything's ok. I love you JJ."

Laying next to him felt like a dream. JJ was wild and passionate which made me feel like I was floating on air. He wanted adventure and so did I, and we gave that to each other. His fierceness complements my inspirations.

As JJ ran his fingers through the back of my shirt, I tasted the cold beer on his lips. He sat me on top of him and gently pulled up my shirt. Holding me so tightly like he never wanted me to leave the bed. I sat up looking into the ocean blue eyes of the boy I was deeply and incredibly, in love with.

JJ softly kissed my lips and our foreheads rested on one another's, "I promise to love you forever Y/N."
