Y/n's POV:
Shock and pain flow through me. JJ just said that he wanted nothing to do with Kie and he'd tell her to back off but now they're dating? I'm disgusted. I knew he was a liar, I guess I just didn't realise he'd still lie to me. I opened up to him. JJ is one of the four people in this world who knows my biggest secret. I bet he told her. Shit. He better not have.
"Oh shut the fuck up Kie." JJ groans, "I'm so over your lies, you're just a manipulative bitch. Honestly Kie. All week you've been clung onto me and I'm so over it. You are harassing me for fucksake. You kissed me once, lied to everyone, pretended like we've been dating for weeks, kissed me again, and lied about it again. I'm starting to notice a pattern." he says. Kie looks at me.
"You believe me, right y/n?" she asks.
"I don't know." I mumble. JJ looks at me. His gaze softens. "You know what?" I say, "No Kie. I actually don't believe you anymore." I say. Both of their jaws drop. Kie stutters a bit before she screams and stomps away.
"Does this mean you'll let me explain?" he asks. I take a deep breath.
"Yeah." I say. A massive smile spreads across his face. I giggle.
"Come here." he says. I stay still. He rolls his eyes as he pulls me into a hug. A big, warm hug.
..
"I just want you to know that I am so, so sorry and I would do anything to take it back." he says. 'The woman was too stunned to speak.' My eyes scan his face. All I see and feel is his regret and guilt.
"I can't believe it." I say.
"I'm really sorry." he says.
"No, I mean I can't believe I believed her." I say, "I can't believe she did this and I actually believed what she said." I say, horrified at myself.
"Thank you." he says.
"For what?" I ask.
"Listening." he says.
"Oh. I'm sorry." I say.
"Why?" he asks.
"For not listening to you." I say.
"No, no I get it." he says. I smile at him. That's all that needs to be said.
"Ok, well it's late and I'm tired so, goodnight." I say.
"Wait!" he says. It sounds urgent.
"Are you ok?" I ask.
"Yeah," he says, "Just please don't hurt yourself." he begs.
"I won't." I say sadly. Now I kinda regret telling him. I mean, I don't, but I do at the same time. JJ is just so protective of me. Almost too protective.
...
I'm awoken by my buzzing phone.
"Hello?" I say, my voice croaky.
"Did I wake you up?" Topper asks.
"Yes actually." I say.
"Sorry about that." he says, "Anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to grab breakfast?" he asks.
"Topper Thorton are you asking me out on a date?" I tease.
"What if I am?" he asks.
"Well, then I'd say what time will you be here?" I ask.
"Wait really?" he asks.
"Yes, now what time?" I repeat.
"How long do you need to get ready?" he asks.
"That depends on where we're going." I say.
"Nowhere special." he says.
"Ok then like an hour." I say.
"See you in half an hour!" he chimes.
"Wait, what?" I yell, not realising that he hung up. I literally sprint into the bathroom, throw my hair in a bun and leap into the shower. I said one hour and he's gonna be here in thirty minutes.
I think Topper's trying to loosen up. Like he came to take me out in the middle of the school day and now he's randomly asking me out for breakfast, no planning at all and then giving me thirty minutes to get ready! I will say though, it's pretty sweet of him.
I quickly get ready, doing some light, simple makeup. Shit, my roots are so grown out. I'm thinking of just going brunette but I like being a blonde. I'll think about this later, when I have more time to think. There's knocking at my bedroom door.
"Come in!" I call. I'm expecting it's either Topper or Sarah. I'm slightly surprised when JJ walks into my bathroom.
"Good morning y/n." he says.
"Oh, I wasn't expecting you." I say honestly.
"What's that supposed to mean? Who were you expecting?" he asks.
"It doesn't matter." I say.
"Please tell me." he begs.
"I really don't think you want to know." I say.
"Topper?" he asks.
"What if I was?" I ask.
"I'd advise you to ditch your plans with the asshole and come and do something with your real friends." he says.
"JJ, if you keep speaking this way I'm gonna self harm." I say sweetly.
"But he is an asshole and I don't want you hanging out with him." he says.
"JJ, who kept my secret even though he knew it was probably best to tell someone?" I ask.
"Fine, but if he lays a fing-" he begins.
"You won't have to worry about that." I say, cutting him off.
"I'm just saying. Why go out with someone as gorgeous as you without any fun?" he says. Oh nah.
"So was sex the only thing you valued in our relationship?" I ask.
"Fuck no!" he says, "Of course not. You were. You're happiness was, is even. Y/n I seriously love you and that's why I'm advising that you back off from Topper." he says. JJ touches my heart just by the way he looks at me, but his words are something else.
"Thanks for looking out for me, but you can't tell me what to do anymore." I say, "Well, you can't tell me what to do no matter what but especially now that we're broken up." I say. Every time I think about how me and JJ aren't together, my heart breaks a lot more. You wouldn't think it's possible but apparently, it is.
"Ok. I just came to tell you I'm going now. Have fun today, I love y/n." he says. As I'm about to say 'I love you too' I stop myself. He's not mine anymore. I still definitely love him but he doesn't need to know how much I love him, how much I miss him, how much I need him.
"K bye." I say. He takes a deep breath before leaving me alone in the bathroom. The room feels so empty without him. I start to tear up, but then I remember I've got makeup on and I stop myself from crying.
I quickly put on a white tank and some low rise jeans. So fucking basic but Topper is really rushing me. I check the weather. I know I probably won't be gone long but I wanna see what it's gonna be. Rain. I have missed the rain but I just love summer so much so I'm sad cause it's ending. I quickly grab my black jacket as I hear knocking at the door.
"Knock knock!" Topper beams.
"Hang on!" I yell. I grab my phone from my charger and run out the door.
"I'm ready." I say.
"Wow, I'm impressed." he says.
"You should be, half an hour is not long enough to get ready." I grumble.
"Well, you did it and you still look incredible." he says.
"Aww, thanks." I say. We make our way to his car and, oo fun, he takes me to none other than The Wreck. I wonder if bestie Kie's here?
