My Love//JJ MAYBANK

Boneyard

Victorias POV

I sit in the car with my airpods in while everyone else goes in the store to try and convince Dominic to let us get a keg for free and we will invite him to out party. Reason being, Dominic is a 23 year old man who works at a store and sells kegs full of beer to kids to make extra money, because he is a pogue and needs to live somehow right.

I'm listening to my party playlist which is what were gonna be listening to tonight at the kegger because I am always in charge of the music considering I have the best taste and playlists.

The song "How Do I Say Goodbye" by Dean Lewis comes on and my mind instantly goes to my mother and how much I have the need to hug her and speak to her.

Its a faint memory because I was only a baby, but I remember my mom would play this song many, many times after her parents passed away. I guess the meaning in the song is passed through the best part of the family. My father would always yell at my mom to stop playing this song so she would everytime he was around her.

You know what I think is funny. How I have a photographic memory but how I can only remember the worst memories between my parents when I was a baby. I dont remember a single time my parents weren't fighting or my father wasn't yelling at mom for some stupid reason that really didn't matter. 

I close my eyes and continue listening to the music so when the others get back they hopefully wont know that I am crying.

I feel the car shake minutes later and that gives me the indication that the others are back.

JJ and Pope join me in the back of the van along with a keg. They place it in front of Popes legs and JJ comes to sit beside me from what I can hear because my music isn't too loud.

He lifts my head off of the chair and places it on his thighs, running his fingers through my hair.

I am still listening to music and my eyes are closed so I assume they must think I am asleep.

I feel a hand on my face and wipe under my eye and a gaze on me.

I open my eyes to see JJ looking at me with worry clearly evident on his face.

He opens his mouth as if he was going to ask why I was crying but before he could I shake my head lightly telling him not to. I show him the song I am listening to and he knows immediately why I am crying, its the same everytime.

He just smiles sadly and wipes under my eyes again then grabs my hand with one and the other plays with my hair. He keeps his gaze on my face though, examining it as if this is the last time he is ever going to see it again and I do the same.

Before I know it, were pulling up to Boneyard and everyone is getting out of the car.

I pause the music and take out my headphones and sit up so JJ can move.

I reach into one of the seats and grab my makeup bag but before I can get it fully out JJ wraps his hand around my wrist gently.

"Come on princess, you really don't need that. You're drop dead gorgeous as you are right now. As your natural self." He says sweetly.

I look down and smile before looking back up and saying "thank you Jay. But I am putting on concealer and mascara to cover up the fact I was crying earlier."

I grab the bag and a mirror.
I curl my lashes and put on the foundation with a sponge then do my mascara, all the while, jj is watching every single move.

"Dude, how do you not poke your eye out doing that?" He asks chuckling in shock and amusement.

"Its really not that hard. Just do it right I guess." I laugh.
