Kie's POV:

I woke up and JJ was gone. I laid back in my bed and texted him a few times and called him over and over and he didn't respond. I texted him a few times before I realized he wasn't going to respond. I sent him one last text.

Kie: I won't bother you anymore but I need you to text me and let me know when you're home. Please... I need to know that you made it home safely

I had been laying in bed all day crying. My roommate Grace came in and I told her everything. It was all my fault. I never should have had Dylan over and I should have told JJ about it.

I had already filled up JJ's voicemail to the point where I couldn't leave any more messages. Later that night, he texted me.

JJ: Home

Kie: Please call me back J... I need to talk to you. Please I'm so sorry and I miss you. You have no idea how happy I was to see you when you opened my door. I've missed you so much and long distance is the worst thing in the world. Please call me... We need to talk.

Kie: I swear nothing happened with Dylan. I wouldn't ever do that to you. Please just call me so we can talk about it

JJ didn't respond and I realized how desperate I've sounded which is pretty pathetic but he was my boyfriend and I loved him. I wasn't going to let him go this easy. I cried myself to sleep and the next few days were pretty lonely and then my next semester started.

I saw Dylan on campus and he came and talked to me and said, "Your boyfriend is kinda a dick"

"No, he was right. You never should have been over that late in my bed"

He walked away with a stupid smirk on his face. All I wanted to do was call JJ and tel him how much I hated Dylan, but he wouldn't answer anyway.

I've considered just getting on a plane and flying home to talk to him but I couldn't with how busy I was and plane tickets were super expensive right now.

The next month and a half were pretty lonely and boring. My roommates were getting worried about me as I didn't do anything besides go to class, do homework, and go to the gym to workout.

It was finally Thanksgiving break and I was flying home. I haven't told anyone what happened between me and JJ besides my roommate Grace. I arrived home and I caught up with my parents and I tossed and turned all night long. I was only five minutes away from JJ and I wanted to see him so bad. He hasn't talked to me in almost two months so I'm guessing he doesn't even care anymore.

The next day, I went to the Chateau to see my friends and everyone except for JJ was there. I was confused and asked, "Where is JJ?"

"He should've been here by now. Don't know, he's been working long hours so he probably got stuck there" John B said

"Yeah, he's only been sleeping or working. We're kinda worried about him" Pope added

I texted JJ and said:

Kie: I'm at the Chateau with the pogues. They're all worried about you. I'm worried about you. Please come over

We hung out all day and JJ called Pope and said he was working today and tomorrow but he'd come over  when we could before I left. The next day I spent Thanksgiving with my family and then I had to leave early because I felt so sick. I drove to Luke's house and I looked into JJ's bedroom window. I couldn't see much as his blanket hung over the window to act as a curtain but the light was on.

I knew he wouldn't be working today. His boss wouldn't make him work a holiday. He was probably just trying to avoid me which hurt me even more. I went to the front door and quietly opened it. I saw Luke passed out on the couch and I tiptoed to JJ's room where the door was thankfully unlocked.

I slowly opened the door and saw him laying in bed. He looked up and saw me and I was quietly shutting the door. I didn't say anything to him. I walked over to him and crawled on top of him and I laid my body on him as I quietly cried. He didn't react but then he wrapped his arms around me.

His face looked rough like he had gotten in a few fights since the last time I saw him. I wondered how bad the bruises were on his stomach. I hoped that I wasn't hurting him. My mind was thinking about everything right now. I didn't know how to tell him so I just said it.

"I'm pregnant" I said whispered crying into his chest and he kissed my head as I cried

He held me in his arms and I just laid on his chest as I cried. I took the test two weeks ago and didn't know how to tell JJ over the phone so I waited until I came home for break. We had so much to figure out but right now I could only cry. They weren't even sad tears it was just me feeling so many emotions at once. I just wanted to stay here forever in JJ's arms.
