today it was just jb and i at the chateau. j was at work, kie at home, and pope helping his dad deliver groceries. i guess it was a good thing because me and jb were called to go to the sherrifs office today for some reason.
"yo, y/n are you almost ready?" jb called from the kitchen
"yeah im just getting dressed" i replied

i decided to wear jean shorts with a green tee and my converse.
"im ready!" i called as i walked out the front door, followed by jb
we hopped in the twinkie and he drove us to the mainland
"do you know why they called us down?" i asked as i turned to look at him
"nope, no idea" he said while keeping his eyes on the road. "oh and uncle teddy called today, he asked if we've heard from dad at all" he added on
"last time i heard from him was two weeks ago, he called to say he was close to finishing his mission" i said
"nothing since?" he asked
"no, i will call again tonight though" i said
soon enough we arrived at the sherrifs office.
"hey uh we were called down here?" jb said to the receptionist
"okay, hmm let me check" the lady said
"oh hey y/n and john b, come with me to my office" sheriff peterkin said as she walked into the room.
we followed her into her office.
"take a seat guys" she said while pointing to the chairs infront of her desk
"thank you, but what did you call us down for today?" jb asked while sitting down
"did we do something wrong?" i asked
"no, this is regarding your father" she said while changing her expression to a more upset one
"oh, have you heard from him at all?" jb asked while sitting up
she didnt say anything.
"he's okay, right?" i questioned
"im so sorry to inform you of this, but your father passed away." she mumbled
"what?" jb asked confused
"no, you're joking. please tell me you're joking." i said as my eyes filled with tears
"i am so sorry guys." she whispered
"no, no thats not right. i mean yeah he hasnt called for a while but that doesnt mean he's dead." i said while standing up
"i wish this wasnt true, im sorry." she mumbled
"how, how did he die?" jb asked as his voice broke
"his body was found in the ocean. he died at sea." she said
the tears that i tried to contain were now flooding down my face. how could he be gone?
"no, thats not right" i heard jb hiss
"i-i. can we just go home?" i whispered to jb
"yeah, lets go. um thank you sherrif" jb said while walking out
"what are we gonna do jb" i whispered as i was latched to his arm as we walked to the twinkie
"one day at a time" he mumbled as he helped me into the car.
the drive back to the chateau was quiet. the air was filled with pain. not a single sound except for my occasional whimper. i could tell jb was hurting. it was always dad, him, and i against the world. apart of him was missing. but he's the kind to suffer in silence
once we got back to the chateau, i ran to my room and shut my door. i needed to be alone.
"fuck!" i heard jb yell as he was punching the walls. he was breaking down.
i walked over to my dresser to look at pictures of jb, dad, and i.
"why did you leave!" i cried as i threw the frame across the room. the glass shattered everywhere
"you promised you would come back. you promised us. we have no one. you left us. you left us all alone dad. were just teenagers" i cried as i threw more frames
"shit. shit. shit. shit!" i yelled as i slid down the wall.
tears pooring down my face.
my hands shaking uncontrollably.
my heart sore. aching.
screaming crying.
through my blurred vision, i saw a familiar blonde come rushing in my room
"baby girl" he whispered while running over and lowering to my level.
he pulled me into his chest and held me tight.
"h-he's gone j. hes not coming home" i cried into his chest
"i know i know, let it out" he said while rubbing my back.
we must have been there for about an hour. on the floor, while i screamed and cried into his chest.
JJ's POV:
it hurt so bad seeing her like this. screaming, crying, shaking. broken glass all over her room. she didnt deserve this. any of it.
"lets go in bed, yeah?" i said while tucking her hair behind her ears
she nodded.
i picked her up and carried her to her bed. i layed right beside her. her gentle body snuggled right into mine. her head in my chest, her hands on my stomach, her legs tangled with mine.
i firmly wrapped my arms around her, holding her tight. as she let out soft cries into by body.
Y/N's POV:
i was snuggled tight into jj.
"j we're only sixteen. we dont have enough money for bills, and the funeral. we can barely support ourselves. what am i gonna do j?" i sniffled
"what are WE gonna do" he corrected. "were gonna do this together, okay. i am going to pick up more shifts, and we're gonna work through this." he added on
"j you dont have to do that for us" i whispered
"you're not doing it alone, so i will help you." he stated
"j?" i whispered
"yeah princess?"
"please dont leave. you are all i have left. just please dont go anywhere." i silently cried
"look at me." he says as i lift my head up.
"i am not going anywhere. i am not leaving you, okay? never." he states
"promise?" i whisper
"i promise y/n. i will never leave." he says
"i love you." i say as i place a kiss on his lips.
"i love you too"' he says while kissing back
"now you should get some sleep, we'll figure things out tomorrow, okay?" he says
