'i should be back in like, an hour, tops!' jj smiled. 'and remember, anyone comes here, call me, and i mean it.'

'i got it, you drilled this into my head the last 20 minutes.' ivy laughed.

'it's just cause i love you.' jj said, leaning down and planting a kiss on ivy's lips. 'gotta protect my girl.'

'and there go the butterflies.' ivy smiled.

'good.' jj whispered, 'i hope they never go away.'

jj's hands unwrapped from ivy's waist, reaching down and picking up his longboard, walking towards the pavement before getting a running start, then jumping on the board, going down the road and towards ricky's

once jj was out of sight, ivy turned around, opening the door to the chateau, letting it slam behind her as she collapsed onto the couch.

after laying there for what felt like hours, ivy pulled herself from the comfort of the couch, going back to her room where she grabbed a plain jean shorts and a cropped sublime tank top.

ivy stood in the fogged bathroom mirror, combing out her hair, her curls forming as she put her hair into two french braids.

she then pulled her charger out of the wall, going into her room, grabbing her backpack and shoes.

after shoving her charger into her bag, ivy stood up, going over the checklist in her head to make sure she had everything she would need.

then she heard a car horn honk, followed by a short sound of a siren.

ivy slowly exited her room, looking out the window to see an ambulance sitting in the driveway with jj walking away from it, two white uniforms in his hands.

the two made eye contact, a smirk creeping up onto jj's face, 'ready?'

———————————————————————————

jj parked the ambulance on a corner, pulling his phone out to check the time. 'waiting on your call john b. come on buddy.'

jj looked over at ivy, one of his baseball caps pulled down over her eyes as she slept against the window.

a few seconds later, the chirping of a siren woke ivy up. she looked out the drivers side window to see a cruiser pulling up beside the ambulance.

'i hate when it's slow like this, you know?'

'tell me about it man.' jj sighed.

'haven't had a call all night.' ivy added.

'hey- what happened to ricky?' the man asked. 'he bang out?'

'something like that.' jj lied.

the radio then beeped, catching both ivy and jj's attention.

'one three eddie. we got an unknown at kc detention.'

jj snatched up the radio, 'uh, yea, ten four. i'll be right there. thank you so much, over.'

'first call of the night.' ivy smiled.

'duty calls. i'll see you later officer. you have a good night though, ok?' jj smiled.

'hold up. i got nothing to do. i'll pace you.' the man offered.

the officer then flipped on the lights and sirens, pulling out in front of the ambulance, jj following close behind him.

-

as jj pulled up to the gate of the detention center, ivy quickly switched jj's hat out for the emt one.

a security guard then shone a flashlight into the ambulance, jj shielding his face from the light as ivy looked down at her feet.
