Forbidden Love -JJ Maybank x y/n Cameron

Chapter 40

Topper's POV:

Sarah said y/n was 'going out'. I've seen the way y/n and JJ are friends again, she has to be here. I mean, I've looked around the entirety of Figure 8 and still haven't found her, so if she's not here I'll be worried. Well, more worried. 

As I pull up to John B's house, I see her car. So she is here. I don't understand why, but that just kinda, slightly, maybe, breaks my heart a little.

I get out of the car and storm to the door where I see JJ and y/n... hugging? Ew.

"Bien sûr mon amour." she says, breaking my heart even more.

"You know I can't understand what you say when you speak in different languages." JJ complains.

"But I can." I say, purely out of jealousy. Y/n turns around and looks at me. Her smile evaporates and I shake my head in disapproval. I turn to leave.

"Topper wait!" she yells as she chases after me.

"Why y/n? It's ok if you love him. I just wish you would've told me sooner." I say.

"Topper you have got to be kidding! JJ is just a friend." she says.

"Mon amour?" I question. "You're words, not mine." I say.

"You're being ridiculous. Of course I love him Top, but there's nothing between us anymore." she says.

"Then why do you love him?" I ask.

"Do you still love Sarah?" she asks.

"Yeah, she was one of the first people I really loved." I say.

"That's how I feel about JJ, I'll never be able to stop loving him." she says.

"So you promise there's nothing going on between you two then?" I ask.

"Yes Topper, I promise." she says, staring into my eyes.

"Great." I say, smiling. She looks behind me and into my car.

"What's all that?" she asks.

"Don't worry, you head home and put on a nice outfit." I say. She raises a brow at me. "Just do it." I groan.

"Ok." she says, getting in her car and driving off. 

JJ's POV:

A/n Listen to Miserable Man by David Kushner, makes this part just hit different

I watch as she drives away and make sure she's definitely gone before going to have a little chat with bestie Topper.

"Hey Topper, before you go, can I talk to you?" I ask.

"What do you want?" he asks.

"You're gonna ask her to be your girlfriend, aren't you?" I ask.

"So what if I am?" he asks.

"I just want you to treat her right, ok?" I say. I feel a tremble in my bottom lip.

"Of course I will. I don't want her to have to go through a repeat of her last relationship." he says.

"Oh, and I thought you should know that she loves dogs, like a lot. She always used to ask if we could get a puppy. And she loves Daisys, they're her favourite flower. Just don't ask her why unless you wanna see her cry. And she'd much rather just lay down and watch a movie and have you hold her than do anything like, intimate. She's like a teddy bear, just wants cuddles." I say, tearing up at the memories.

"JJ, I-" he stutters. 

"And she loves when you call her pretty, or beautiful, or gorgeous, or stunning. They mean more than hot, or sexy. Just treat her right, she deserves it." I say as I walk away. There's no way I'm gonna let Topper see me cry. God, I miss her so fucking much. I seriously fucked up.
