Y/n's POV:

Where is he? I'm tired. Not just tired, I'm drained. I don't know how much longer I can do this anymore. I haven't left this room. The only times I've gotten out of bed is to piss or fill up my water bottle. Both of those are rare times.

"Y/n, come on! You have to look after yourself!" Sarah yells from behind the door. All I've been doing for two weeks is crying. I haven't slept, eaten, showered or anything. 

"Why should I? What's the point in living without him?" I scream through my sobs.

"Please open the door!" she yells. I make my way to the door and unlock it before getting back in bed. Sarah walks in and opens the blinds.

"Too bright." I groan.

"Shit." she mutters.

"What?" I ask.

"You look like shit!" she says. I haven't seen or spoken to anyone for two weeks.

"I don't give a fuck, I have no reason to prioritize my needs." I say, crying harder.

"You and I are having a self-care day today," she says. "I really need it." she mumbles.

"Why do you need it so much? I mean look at you! You're so put together!" I yell.

"Y/n do you honestly think I've been any better than you?" she yells, "I've felt so alone! I thought we would go through this together but instead you just locked yourself in here! I wanted to cry with you! Instead, I've been trying to hide my struggling! I've only cried at night, I haven't been sleeping. I put on a brave face for our family!" she yells, tears forming in her eyes. "Do you think I would be fine with this? Of course I'm not! I want to go home! I want my friends! I could've at least had one, but you've been in here, sulking!" she spits, crying now.

"I'm sorry Sarah! I had just adapted to my new home! I was finally happy again but then all of this happened! I'm sorry that you felt alone, I really am, but how do you think I felt when I got to the Outer Banks? I had never felt more alone in my life! When JJ told me he loved me, that's when I knew I belonged, when I knew that everything would be ok, when I was happy. JJ was the only person I knew I could trust here but then my life fell apart, again. So I'm sorry that you're upset but this has been extra hard on me!" I yell.

"I'm sorry y/n. I'm tired and upset. I didn't realize how hard it would've been for you." she says. I hug her, tightly.

"Sorry I lashed out like that." I whisper.

"No, I get it." she says.

"That self-care day sounds nice." I say. She giggles.

"Go have a shower, we have to get to the spa." she says. 

"Really?" I shout. Sarah nods and I run to my bag to grab an outfit. I packed a lot of nice clothes but honestly, I just wanna wear sweats. I get my grey set and one of JJ's hats and head into the bathroom to take a shower. The warm water feels amazing against my skin.

JJ's POV:

"It's so fucking hot in here." I groan quietly. We've been in this fucking box for god knows how long. I wanna go home, but home isn't the same without her. 

"JJ, just remind yourself why you're doing this." John B whispers to me. I half smile at him. He wants me to be happy, and this is the only way. I nod as we hear footsteps.

"Where are ya?" a female voice says. John B perks up. I don't know why. He should be quiet, not excited. He peeks through a small hole in the wall.

"No way! Cleo?" he exclaims. Who the fuck is Cleo?
