Forbidden Love -JJ Maybank x y/n Cameron

Chapter 27

Y/n's POV:

After we all got ready and had something to eat, I decided it would be a good idea for me and Sarah to go and talk to Ward. We all sit down in the living room.

"Thanks for letting us use the jet." I say.

"Of course, I want you girls to get home safely." he says.

"What if it's a trap?" Sarah whispers. I side eye Ward quickly and he looks calm.

"Please let me know when you get there." he says.

"We will, don't worry." Sarah replies dryly. I see JJ poke his head around the wall and I smile at him to show him everything's fine. I can tell Ward saw me looking at JJ by what he says next.

"They can come in, I'd like to discuss something with them actually." he says. I look back and nod.

"You guys can come in now!" I call out. JJ bursts in, pushing everyone back. My eyes follow him the entire time as he speed walks over to me and sits down next to me. Everyone else finds a spot on the couches.

"Don't tell anyone that I'm alive." Ward says.

"Done, just don't follow us." John B says. 

"Thank you. Well, you'd better get going. Mike's waiting and I think that's all I needed to say." he says.

"Thanks Dad." Sarah says. Ward looks at JJ before speaking again.

"Oh yeah, you guys are all welcome to stay at Tannyhill." he adds.

"Thanks, Dad." I say. He smiles at me. It felt so wrong to call him Dad, but that's who he is, he's my Dad.

"Can I have a chat with John B and JJ before you guys go?" he asks. Sarah and I look at each other. We both nod and turn to the boys. JJ looks at me nervously. 

"I'll be just out there." I whisper. He frowns but lets me get up. Sarah, Kie, Cleo, Pope and I all head out and into the kitchen.

"What d'ya think he wants?" Cleo asks.

"Knowing my Dad, you can never know." Sarah replies. Shit. What's he gonna ask? I already know JJ's uncomfortable with this situation right now. I wish this had never happened.

JJ's POV:

"What do you want?" I ask as soon as everyone else is out of earshot.

"I want to make sure you guys are gonna protect my daughters." he says.

"What do you think I would've done? You took her away and you know how that made me feel?" I ask, "It made me scared ok. I don't get scared very often but for two weeks, I was terrified. I thought I was never gonna see her again. I hate that I was so scared. What was worse is that I failed to protect her. That was the one thing I didn't realize I needed to be so on top of. So I'm gonna ask you one thing, stay away from now on." I say.

"JJ, it's ok man." John B whispers.

"No, it's not ok! Ward kidnapped his children, he took them away. Y/n had only just adjusted and he took her away. She didn't sleep or eat for two weeks and neither did I. I'm sick of kooks always having the upper hand!" I yell. 

"JJ!" Ward yells. I look at him. His eyes are full of sadness and regret. "I had to do what I had to do! I wanted my family to be together but I'd done something terrible so this was the best idea I could come up with. I know it's wrong and seriously messed up but I wanted to see my family, to see my girls back together after 15 years!" he says. I start walking away.

"We have to go." I huff. Ward makes me angry, like really fucking angry, but I don't think I've ever been this mad before. I want to calm down before y/n sees me. I don't want her worrying about the little conversation we had.

"Breathe JJ." John B whispers to me. I'm trying to but I'm too angry to even look at him.

"Let's go guys!" Sarah yells.

"Coming!" John B yells, grabbing my arm and leading me out of the house. We all load up into the car but before we leave, someone approaches the car.

Sarah's POV:

A/n: Listen to Car's Outside - Sped up Version by James Arthur

As we're all getting in the car, someone comes up to me.

"So you're just gonna leave without saying goodbye?" Wheezie says.

"Oh Wheez." I say, giving her a big hug.

"I'm gonna miss you so much." she sniffles.

"I'm gonna miss you so much more." I sniffle.

"What's the hold up?" y/n asks. She's desperate to get home.

"Sister moment." I call back. As fresh tears stream down my face, I feel another set of arms wrap around me and Wheezie's hug. I look to see y/n, crying as she hugs us. I giggle a little. It's just funny how y/n was yelling about how she wanted to get home, and now she's crying and hugging us. She pulls back.

"I didn't know you for that long, but you were always there for me when I was upset over something. And when I was sick, you both did such a great job looking after me. I wish I could've had more time with my little sister." she says.

"I wish we could've stayed together." Wheezie sniffles, tears streaming down her face as well. JJ comes and pulls y/n to the side, hugging her. She quickly rejoins the moment, JJ's arms around her waist.

"Why can't we?" I say.

"What do you mean? We're going home." y/n says.

"Why can't Wheezie come?" I say, suggesting the idea that's been burning in my heart for a while now.

"Do you think Dad would let me go too?" she asks.

"I don't see why not." I say.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go ask him!" I squeal. Y/n, Wheezie and I run inside to find Ward tearing up on the couch.

"Can I go too?" Wheezie asks.

"What?" Ward says, "Honey are you sure? You'd be there with no parents and I just don't think it's safe." he says. That's a kid's dream, no parents and unsafe.

"We'd look after her." I say. "Please?" I add.

"Fine, go get your things quickly and then you have to get to the jet." he says. I'm surprised at his generosity, but I appreciate it. We make our way to Wheezie's room to help her pack her things. She hadn't unpacked that much so we were pretty quick.

Once we'd packed all her things we ran to the car and put her bags in the back.

"Room for one more?" I ask.

"Hold on, who?" John B asks.

"Me!" Wheezie says excitedly as she jumps in the car. I sit in the passenger seat and lean my head on John B's shoulder as he drives us to the airport.
