Meant To Be

~Chapter twelve~

It's been a long night. First my parents, second Rafe, third John B. The whole thing with John B last night was a whole blur, all that I can really make sense of is that once we got to the hospital. The whole crew was drenched in rain and tears waiting for our beloved friend to be okay. JJ was pretty much restless, Kiara and I comforted each other, while Pope sat down a bounced his leg out of anxiousness.

Sarah walked in tears streaming from her eyes as the 'delightful' Mr. Cameron walks behind her. Before they talk with the doctors Ward just glares at me as I stare right back at him. Not a single sign of guilt in my body for the things I've said about his family. I stand up. not breaking eye contact, and leave. I was so emotionaly and physically exhausted at that moment. I knew John B would turn out to be okay though.

JJ followed behind me not saying a word, a comfortable silence fell between us was we walked back to the chateau together. Hand in hand. Legs tired from all the walking. I colasped onto the spare bedroom that JJ decided to claim for himself, with the amount of times he stays there. I didn't even care if I was soaked or in heels and a dress, I was ready to pass the fuck out.

I woke up with the sun just shinning enough so where it caught in my eyes. I tried to move but felt a strong muscles wrapped around me. I tensed up for a moment swinging my head to the other side to see the peaceful blonde deep in his slumber. I let out a soft sigh and stared at the boy.

How did I get so lucky?

Were not even an official and I know, that this man will take me far in life. I stroke a piece of hair out of his face. I must of startled him because he jumped right up.

"Oh I'm sorry love." I said in a hushed tone. 

"it's okay," he said with a sad look in his eyes. Part of him is probably worried about his best friend and the second is he's very sensitive with me at sometimes. He re-adjusts his position to wear im right up next to him and he's slightly sitting up. "how'd you sleep princess," he said with his morning voice.

my heart melts. princess. I used to hate that word but something about when J says it I can't seem to only feel safe and loved in that moment. "good," I hummed. I rested my head on his shoulder as he set his chin onto my head. "you think John B is good?"

"I know he'll be fine. He's a tough guy I promise you love." JJ answered to my question. 

"JJ?" I asked now looking over at the roof of the room we were sleeping in. "Yeah? Everything okay?" He asks turning to me.

"Last night-" 

"princess, we don't have to talk about mid-disaster unless you want to," He said in a cooing tone while pulling my body in tighter.

"my dad was there," I said in a hushed tone. I took a second to collect my thoughts and continued," I saw him for the first time in a long time. W-we barely talk and I-I'm disowned now.." I started to tear up and choke on my words.

"Hey hey hey, it's okay I've got you. The blonde said while pressing his lips onto my forhead. "We can be your family if you'd want to." He smiled. 

"my-my mom is the shitty one, or so I thought," I stated wiping my tears on the back of my hand. "dad, he-he didn't say or do anything when my mom said those things. does he agree with her? how fucked is that, what the actual fu-"

J cut me off before I started to get angry he turned my face towards him and cupped my face. "Azaleà love, biological familys sucks. you only need us now. okay? were your family." He pecked me on the lips and I did a slight grin at his comment. "lets talk about something happy, okay?" He said wiping his thumb across one of my tears.
