The boy at the stable~ A JJ Hamblett/Union J Fanfiction~

The boy at the stables~Chapter 17~

I pay the taxi driver as he pulls up in the driveway to my house. Me and JJ had decided to get some stuff from my house then spend the night at his family home for the New Year. Opening the car door, I help JJ out of the taxi and grab his bag; we walk up the path towards my front door as the taxi pulls out of the driveway.

'Home sweet home.' I smile with relief; JJ smiling back as I unlock the door and we walk in.

As I place his bag on the floor, we walk into the living and sit down on the sofa.

'Finally!' JJ chuckles, getting comfortable with the pillows. Suddenly, his mobile phone begins to ring. He pulls it from his pocket, smiling at the name that flashed across the screen.

'Hi Mum!' he says cheerfully into the phone.

'Yes. Yes, I'm at Eva's now. Yes Mum, yes, I got discharged early, yeah, I know! I'll tell you about it later. 6pm? Sure. Ok, yeah, ok, I love you too. Ok, bye.' He puts down the phone and rolls his eyes.

'Mum's eh?' he laughs.

'Yeah, tell me about it.' I laugh back.

We sit awakwardly in my living room for a few moments; the continuous ticking of the clock ringing through our ears. I look back at him; his hazel eyes meeting with mine. He smerks, his face only centimetres away from mine, before his soft lips crash into my own. His hands make their way to my waist; pulling me even closer to his body on the sofa. Placing my own hands at his face, our lips move in sync as he kisses me passionately. We pull away for a moment; eager to catch our breath.

'JJ.' I gasp, our faces still close.

'Yes Eva?'

'Thank you for helping me remember.' I smile slightly; feeling my cheeks burn up.

'Well thank you for coming back into my life.' he says, before continuing to kiss me softly.

'Oh, my mum said we have to be at her house for 6pm, she said to dress nicely.' JJ adds, pulling away again.

I nod, before we resume kissing.

I remember the way he used to kiss me. It was just like this.

4:00pm came around quickly. We had spent the rest of the day packing some of my clothes and resting after our time in the hospital. It was nice to be back at home; back to a normal life with JJ.

'Eva, don't spend too long getting ready!' JJ shouts from the bathroom as I begin to do my hair and make up. I straighten all of my curly brown hair; the tips of my hair finally reaching the lower half of my back. I put on a light powder to my pale skin and pull out my mascara; applying the first layer before adding winged eyeliner. My red lipstick finishes my make up; highlighting my bow shaped lips. Getting up from my dressing table, I run over to my wardrobe; quickly browsing through the different dresses. I pick out one that matches my lipstick; a sleeveless, crimson red dress which was tight the top but goes out slightly at the bottom. I pull on some back tights and accompany it all with some black heels. That was it; I was ready!

As the bathroom door opened, I turned to face JJ. His jaw dropped, and so did mine. He stood in just a towell; leaning against the door frame. His tanned and toned chest made me feel flustered; the small towell around his waist causing me to blush.

'Wow Eva.' he exclaims.

'You, you look..you look beautiful!' he smiles widely. Giggling, I look away and out of the window.

'JJ, get some clothes on for goodness sake!' I giggle even more.

'Why? Don't you like it?' he smerks; biting down on his lip.

'Later.' I tell him, before chucking his shirt and underwear to him.

'Are you ready?' he asks as I turn the key in the ignition to my car after climbing in.

'Only if you are.' I smile.

'How's your head?' I ask; he rubs his head; adjusting his beanie and fiddling with the buttons on his denim shirt.

'Aching a bit, but fine none-the-less.' he promises; squeezing my hand.

'Ok, just try not to limp too much tonight!' I chuckle; pulling out of my driveway and out onto the street.

The journey to JJ's house went quickly seeing as he lives nearby. We did'nt talk much; the excitement of the new year and the new start mounting in our minds.

As I pull up at JJ's family home, we look at eachover in confusion. All of the lights are off; the house in complete darkness. We exit the car; hesitantly approaching the door.

He raises one eyebrow before pulling down on the door handle and opening the door; limping inside. I close the door behind me and hold tightly onto JJ's hand. My eyes try to pick out shapes in the dark room but I can't see anything.

'Hello? Anybody here?' JJ shouts loudly; squeezing my hand.

Suddenly, the lights go up and an almighty scream of 'Surprise!' echoes through the house. A banner hangs above our heads; the words 'Welcome home JJ, Eva and Union J' written neatly across it. Alcohol and presents lie across the room around a group of people. My eyes pick out a few that I recognise; JJ's parents, my dad, Josh, and three people who I had'nt seen in two years or met yet. Olly Marmon, Jaymi Hensley and George Shelley. JJ lets go of my hand; limping towards his parents and hugging them tightly. My hand moves to my mouth; tears rolling down my cheeks.

'It's ok babe, you're home now.' Jaymi runs towards me; his warm hug easing my tears.

I was'nt crying because I was upset; I was anything but upset right now. I was crying because I had finally found where I was supposed to be; home.

'Hey, does someone want a George hug?' A voice asks from behind JJ. I pull away; popping my head around Jaymi's body to see a cute boy giggling to himself; his soft, brown eyes looking straight into mine. I nod; choking on my tears slightly. Running into his open arms, he hugs me tightly; whispering 'It's going to be ok now' into my ear.

'Welcome back, Eva.' I hear a familiar voice from behind me say; Josh. All of a sudden, the entire household wrap there arms around me and George; hugging eachover tightly in one big group hug.

However small and insignificant that hug was, it was one of the best moments of my life.

We talked and danced all night running up to 11:59; we all avoided drinking too much because JJ couldn't drink after the accident. I spoke to George, Jaymi and Josh a lot; trying to remember more about them and get to know George; they were all such lovely boys, even with the fame on their shoulders.

'It's 10 seconds! Let's count down!' JJ's mum shouts; hushing our conversations. I stand by JJ; holding his hand tightly.

'10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1...Happy New Year everyone!' We all shout in unison; the TV programme on the BBC exploding in fireworks up in London. JJ spins me around; quickly adjusting his beanie before his hands move to my waist; pulling me closer.

'Happy New Year, Eva.' he says, before moving in to kiss me softly. All of the boys chant JJ's name; his parents and my dad clapping with joy.

2013; this would be the start of Union J. The start of my friendship with the boys. The start of mine and JJ's relationship. The start of my life.
