JJ MAYBANK IMAGINES

more than friends- jj Maybank

description: at a amusement park, you realise there is more than just friendship in between you and your " friend " 

in the POV of random oc: Scarlett

running through the line of the ride " enchanted castle " you and JJ were racing your way through it, trying too go first in line. while Kie and Pope followed behind. you were running ahead, beating jj and feeling a rush of adrenaline pumping through your veins as you were. 

suddenly jj jumped over the metal dividers, and got ahead of you. making you scream out in playfull annoyance, but your heart was still beating, and giggles escaped your mouth. for a second, you felt butterflies swarming throughout you. you felt what it was like too be in love with someone. but you couldn't admit it. he liked someone else anyways. Some random touron he hasn't shut up about. " alana " or whatever. you didn't want too admit it, but hearing her even say the name alana made you want too explode, it made you burn inside. hearing her talk about the girl that should have been you. 

" scar, whats up, cant get over? " jj said out of breath, he was teasing me. of course he was. i was behind a rope which stopped me from entering the right side of it. i had too go the whole long way too get over it. i laughed before he grabbed my waist and lifted me over the rope saving me by taking the short cut. jj was strong, but i didn't expect him too pick me up, and his hands on my waist, made me forget any other sense off emotion. my mouth was mixed with a shocked look, but plastered a smile on along with it. its not like i fought him carrying me, but its not like i was going too look like i enjoyed it.

by the time he put me down Pope and Kie reached where we were, scolding us for running off without them. but we kept running forward, ahead of them. we reached the closer portion of the line, crowded with many people. me and him fought yet again for first place in line, but he won. obviously. his hand was around my neck as we made our way ahead. we were playing with the random buttons around, while he was typing stupid things about how much he " loves me " and how i'm the best. as i moved my hand too type something, his hand fell on mine rubbing circles around the middle of my palm. my heart skipped beats. 

after a while of flirting and talking with Kie and Pope, we all went ahead. almost reaching the beginning of the ride. thats when i realised i should probably have my hair tied up. i asked Kie too tie up my hair, and as she was, JJ continuously pulled the hair tie off. calming he would do my hair for me. jesus. he grabbed my hair and tied it up, acctually quite well. i was other-thinking how i looked and he told me " your hair looks gorgeous down too ". AHHHHHHH

anyways, we got on the ride in which he held my hand throughout the whole ride, "friendly flirting" obviously a joke. in between screams i felt his thumb rub circles on the outside of my hand.  

we got off the ride, and i brushed my feelings for him off. i realised this was just a fling. it could not have been more, and there was no point of me thinking something was going on. he was jj. same guy i became friends with in grade 4, same guy who stuffed socks in my best friends face. he was jj. he was always jj, just jj, friendly best friend jj. we ended up doing a hell lot more of rides, which consisted of: him pining me against the wall " as a joke ", him and i obviously play fighting for the 387349th time, my legs going around his waist in a weird way accidentally a couple times, and in general just flirting. 

we walked too a coffee shop too get lunch, we all four took our seats and drank our coffee. we were in discussion when suddenly a wave of social anxiety took over me. i was shaking my foot an often thing i do during my anxiety attacks when he tapped my converse and sent me a smile. 

" why did you do that? " i curiously asked. firstly i was embarrassed too know if he saw that i was going through anxiety, and i was confused because its not every single day someone touched your shoe. 

" calm down, stop overthinking. i'm here okay " he said. my heart went insane at those words and a blush creeped my face, which is why i immediately turned my head, hiding from the reason why my face was looking like a sun-dried tomato. 

we carried on with lunch, laughing and talking. it also consisted of his hat on my head because he wanted too " hide me from old men " which was just him being over protective of me because a old man was staring me down. kie texted me making fun of the flirting going on between me and my best friend. although i didn't think he felt the same way. i mean, even i didn't know what i felt. 

we ended up swapping phones, and i was on his. he said he never let anyone on his phone, but i could cause i was his " special scar ". whilst going through it, i uploaded pics of me on his insta story. the comments " ship " pialing up in his dm's and mine as well.  i was going through his chats, texting John b who couldn't come as he was abroad. 

i went through his chats with his ex girlfriend, i think her name was dana. i was scrolling when i saw a chat come up with my name.  

Dana

bruh no, she's such a bitch! 

jj( you ) 

shut the hell up, scar isn't a bitch. 

the butterflies that grew in my chest as i read those words were un bearable. my heart was on fire, literally. i started smiling and teasing him on how he defended me. 

we ended up spending the rest of the day together with Pope and Kie, although it felt like it was just me and jj. together. holding hands, putting his hand on my waist, laughing non stop, tying my freaking laces for me. i fell for him and there was no denying it. 

by the end off the day, me and kie were going too go home when i heard jj run up too me, trying too say something. 

" alana texted me!! " my heart dropped. he looked excited. he told kie " i would date her ". i cant date someone who is confused on another girl too. why could he not see, we were more than friends, but he was too oblivious too realise.
