I wake up to the sound of a car door shutting. I glance over and see a shirtless JJ, sprawled out on the bed next to me. The memories of last night come flooding back and panic sets in when I realize the car door was most likely John B getting back from Sarah's.
"Fuck" I mutter as I climb out of bed as fast as I can, immediately regretting it due to the pounding in my head. "JJ get up!" He groans and grabs his head with his hand, obviously experiencing the same pounding sensation. "John B is home" I say as I throw on a random shirt from the corner of the room. I pick up my undergarments from JJ's floor and rush to my room to slide on a pair of shorts. I'm able to throw my messy hair up into a bun just as I hear the front door opening. 'Be cool' I tell myself before stepping out into the living room. JJ exits his room soon after, now dressed.
"Hey!" I say greeting my brother.
"Hey guys, what'd you two do last night?" He replies as he sits down on the couch, just trying to make conversation.
"Oh, you know, the usual..." JJ tells him. Smooth, I think sarcastically to myself. I shoot him a glare, which John B thankfully didn't notice.
I clear my throat "so, how was you and Sarah's date night?"
"It was good, yeah."
"That's good..." there is an awkward silence that follows.
"Rafe dumped Liv." JJ blurts out.
"JJ, what the fuck?!" I exclaim, throwing my hands in the air.
"Wait, seriously? Are you okay?"
"I don't know... I definitely wasn't expecting it." A wave of guilt washes over me and makes me feel sick to my stomach. I excuse myself to the bathroom and take some Tylenol to help my head.
I make my way to the kitchen and brew a pot of coffee. I can't stop replaying the events from last night. Drunk or not, I shouldn't have hooked up with JJ. For one he was my best friend and for two Rafe literally broke things off so he could better himself. I am a horrible effing person, I think to myself.
I am broken out of my thought when I hear JJ beside me. "Hello? Earth to Liv. We gotta get going or we're gonna be late for work."
I pour some coffee into my travel mug and meet JJ in the Jeep to drive us to the boat shop.
"John B can never know." I warn him.
"Obviously."
Just John B isn't the one I'm worried about. As I drive us to work there is only one person on my mind.
