story 126

JJ's POV:

Kie and I got together and we dated for three years. She graduated college two years ago and our relationship got complicated. We started arguing more. There was so much tension over stupid shit.

We ended things and it was for the best. I moved out of the apartment we shared and went by to my dad's house. He wasn't there anymore after he left the island years ago. Kie and I told our friends that we ended our relationship and they were sad about it but understood we had to do what was best for us.

I spent the first week wasted trying to get over Kie. I knew I'd never find someone like her again. It was hard to just get over a three-year relationship and we probably ruined our friendship too. I mean, we'll still be friends but it won't ever be the same. We've seen each other a few times at the Chateau and it was actually okay and not too awkward.

We had only been broken up about a month when I saw Kie and she looked like she was on a date with some guy. She seemed so happy. She was laughing and smiling and just so carefree. I haven't seen that side of her in a long time. She noticed me and she didn't say anything. She just gave me a small smile.

That night, I showed up at the Chateau and Kie was there. Pope looked at me and whispered, "She's telling us about her date if you wanna dip"

"Nah, it's fine" I said sitting down

"So, tell me about this guy" I said looking at her

She laughed and said, "You really wanna know"

"Yeah, I gotta make sure he's not some fuckboy" I said trying to lighten the mood

Everyone laughed and John B teased me and said, "You'd know"

Kie looked at me and said, "He isn't... He's a really good guy"

We hung out that night and two months later, I was at the Chateau with just the boys. Pope said, "You look miserable, JJ"

"I'm trying to get over my girlfriend"

"Well, it looks like she's moved on and you should too. You deserve to be happy like she is" Pope said always giving the best advice

"But he can't move on because he's still in love with her" John B said knowing my dilemma

We talked about the breakup for a while and it helped. John B and Pope were such good friends. They gave me advice and just told me it would get better. It had been five months in total since Kie and I broke up.

I've always been good with working with my hands and I knew cars pretty well. Kie texted me the other day saying her car was making a weird noise and she wanted to know if I could look at it. She was coming over today and I was going to do my best to help her. She showed me the noise and I was looking under the hood trying to figure out the issue.

"You look happier" I said realizing I should've kept that to myself

She looked slightly embarrassed but she played it off cool and said, "I am happy. Are you?"

I took a breath and I didn't even know how to answer that question. Thankfully, I didn't have to as we were interrupted by a car pulling up. It was Pope who was coming over to see if I needed help fixing Kie's car. Pope helped me and it ended up being a simple fix. Kie tied to pay me and I refused.

We invited John B and Sarah over for beers and pizza tonight. A storm was coming in soon and somehow Kie and I started bickering, it got to the point where we were in a pretty big fight in front of our friends.

"You seem so much happier with him than you were with me. I get it, Kie... You don't have to explain because I don't want to hear it" I yelled back at her as I walked outside to leave

"Where are you going?" She screamed as it was starting to rain

"Away from you!" I yelled back heading towards my bike when she ran out into the rain

"You're right, I might be more carefree and relaxed around him and seem happier because our relationship is so fucking easy. Every night he comes home from work, we eat dinner, maybe watch a movie and go to bed. Saturday is our date day and he does all the planning. Sunday we spend the whole day being lazy and preparing for the week. It's easy with him. There's no fighting or arguing over everything but you know what as much as fought at the end, we fought because it was real. What we had was fucking real and worth fighting for. We could tell each other anything and we'd solve our problems together. Life with you was an adventure every single day and our relationship wasn't easy and I wasn't always happy but that's real life. It's easy with him because I don't care about him the way I care about you. I don't love him, JJ. I love you and it might not have been real to you but it was real to me" She said now soaking wet out in the rain with me

I couldn't believe what she just said. I walked up to her and said, "I love you, Kie" as I crashed my lips into hers

We were making out in the rain and we were interrupted by Sarah saying, "Get a room"

"That's a great idea" I said picking Kie up and carrying her inside

The pogues all left, giving us alone time which was exactly what the two of us needed.
