My Love//JJ MAYBANK

Bruises

We drop Kie and Pope off first because i just live down the road from John B.

Once they dropped me off, the boys are giving me an uneasy look. I give them a reassuring nod with a small smile telling them ill be by shortly, and I head to my front door.

I quickly notice my dad's car in the driveway. I take a deep breath prepared for the worst to come from him.

I open the door to the smell of alcohol and a not so pleasant sight of my father on the couch passed out.

I quietly snuck up to my room to pack some more clothes, because I don't plan on coming home anytime soon and its better to get it all over with now, now that he's asleep.

I packed some underwear, bathing suits, shirts and shorts.

I had just walked out of my room and I saw my dad standing outside my doorway.

"Hey da-" before I could finish, he had grabbed a huge chunk of my hair and threw me into a wall behind him. I fell to the floor. He kicked me in the face twice and the stomach 6 times, bruising my ribs and abdomen.

I tried to get up but he sent another kick to my ribs.
"Where have you been? Whoring around again, huh?" He yelled at me.

"No!"

"Dont lie to me girl!"

"I'm not a fucking whore you asshole! I'm not you, sleeping around with every woman I see!" I told him.

"You fucking bit-" before he finished his sentence he picked me up by my left arm and threw me down the stairs, then he walked over me to go to his room on the other side of the house.

I could barely move after that, so for 10 minutes I just sat there doing nothing.

Finally I slowly got up and headed out the door.

John Bs house was only an 8 minute walk from my house so I assumed I could walk it alone and in pain.

About halfway through my walk I started hyperventilating because the heat does not go well with me when I am at a loss of breath.

I bent down to my knees for one minute just to breath and calm myself down.

Eventually I was fine and continued walking to John Bs in pain.

I walked through the door and saw JJ and John B sitting on the couch watching TV.

They looked anxious for some reason, then I looked down saw my bruises and remembered why.

Before they saw me I went to the bathroom leaving the door unlocked incase I need someone.

I'm pretty sure they heard me because the next thing i know, I'm standing in front of the mirror with JJ knocking on the door asking if I was alright.

I didnt answer him but instead let him in.

He looked over me and didn't see any bruises but then I lifted my shirt and he had tears pooling in his eyes, trying to blink them away.

"Jay, I really need to pee can you help me pull them down... please?" I ask him quietly because its embarrassing not being able to bend down to properly take my shorts off.

"Yeah, of course. And hey, you don't need to be embarrassed about this okay?" he said quickly before walking me over to the toilet and unbottoning my jean shorts and pulling them down along with my underwear.
He didn't look so it wasn't weird.

He pulled them down to my knees and helped me sit down.

"I'll be outside the door lemme know if you need anything else, alright Cupcake?" He told me heading out to the couch.

"Will do" I said quietly.

After I finished i pulled up my shorts washed my hands and walked to the kitchen.

JJ came up behind my putting his hands around my waist lightly, making sure not to hurt me.

"Will you let me check you out Cupcake?" he asked, face in my shoulder.

"Yeah sure." I simply replied because I know how much he loves to clean me up and make sure I'm okay.

He took me back into the bathroom and grabbed some alcohol wipes and a face cloth.

"How bad was it this time?" He asked me gently.

"Worse than last, he didn't even give me notice it just happend. One minute he's standing in front of my door as soon as I open it, next thing I know is I'm on the floor getting kicked in the head, stomach, side and thrown down the stairs." I said tearing up a little bit as I do.

"Wait he got your head??" He said a little louder than I was expecting.

"Umm yeah, minor concussion maybe?" I answered with a question more so then a statement.

He was looking my dead in the eyes as if he were mad at me for not telling him sooner.

I looked down to my lap getting uncomfortable.

He wrapped his arms around my shoulders giving me a hug.

"Where did he get your head?" He asked me looking in the mirror while hugging me to see if he could find any blood.

"Left side. Ear to almost middle of the head... he was wearing steel toe boots J, it hurts like a bitch." I said after a short pause.

He cleans around the wound as gently as he can but still getting enough before he just hugs me for a minute.

He put my legs around his waist and lifted me off the sink. Opening the door and carrying me to his bedroom.

He sat on his bed with me and we just silently sat there hugging for a good 7 minutes before I completely broke down.

I cried wondering what I could have ever done to make my dad hate me so much that he feels a need to beat me.

Then eventually the pain in my stomach got worse and I started hyperventilating from not breathing properly, from the pain.

"Breath, nice and slow, in and out. Think of the beach, while we're walking down it, the two of us at sunset. Laughing at a funny ass joke you told me out of the blue. Or the scent of the ocean, or something that calms you down. Can you do that for me Cupcake?" Jj instructs trying his hardest to calm me down like he does with panic attacks.

I picture cuddling JJ on the sand looking up at the stars with out toes in the water and I immediately calm down. Because he is my home. Wherever he is, I feel as safe as can be.

"Thank you, for everything that you do for me bubbs. I love you" I said kissing his cheek and hugging him again.
"Always Princess." He replied simply.
