Ever since we came home last night from the bonfire, I've locked myself in my room. I didn't really want to talk to John B about it because I didn't want him to do something and go to jail. I also didn't really feel in the mood to socialize. I've just been sitting in my bed with my AirPods in listening to music with my knees to my chest.
I really hate rafe. He's done so much to me emotionally and I don't think he even notices. Not like he even cares at all
John b knew something was up with me as soon as we got in the van, he knows me pretty well. He just never said anything directly. I was quiet the whole way home, only saying a few short words.
I'm glad I have JJ. Without him I don't know what would have happened with rafe. He probably would have got what he's been wanting for years.
••••••••••𓆉︎••••••••••
I hear a knock on my door, I don't answer. The knocks keep going, finally after a few minutes they stop.
I go back to listening to my music, with my knees still to my chest. I hear a rustling noise but I don't pay it any attention until I see someone climbing through my window.
I throw my shoe that's on the ground next to me at the person.
"Ow! What the fuck was that for?" The person says holding their head
"JJ?!" I ask confused
"What the hell are you doing climbing through my window! You almost gave me a heart attack!" I say yelling at him
"Well, you weren't answering the door so I had no other choice!" He says walking to sit on my bed next to me
"So you had to break through my window? You couldn't have called me? I say looking at him
"I didn't even think about that.." he says slightly embarrassed
"Well, your here now. What did you want that you felt the need to break into my room and give me a heart attack?" I asked looking at his eyes
*(A/n start playing butterflies <3)*
"I was worried about you" he says as his face softens
"I'm fine JJ." I say looking away from him
"No your not. I can tell"
"How would you know?" I say still not looking at him
"Well, for starters you always look away when you lie and your knees are against your chest, you only do that when your anxious and sad" he says while reaching out his hand to my knee
I look back towards him, and just stare. So much is going through my mind right now. I always forget how well he knows me, almost as much as John b. I started to get butterflies in my stomach as he looked back into my eyes smiling directly at me. I don't think I should feel what I'm feeling right now.
He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear that fell in my face. Then looked back at my eyes. I think he can feel the tension between us because he stops and coughs while turning his head away from me.
"I have a surprise for you" he says turning back to me smiling
"Which is?" I say now curious
"You'll find out soon. Go get dressed." He says grinning at me then walking out of my room
As he left my room this huge smile formed on my face. He knows exactly how to make me feel better, but part of me wishes something else would happen between us. I know that will never happen though.
I walk over to my closet and changed into my red bikini and then into my jean shorts & black cropped t shirt.
I grabbed my Kildare island bag and put my book and stuff in it. After that I walked out of my room
••••••••••𓆉︎••••••••••
As I walked into the living room I saw John b and Sarah sitting on the couch with JJ. JJ was the first to turn to look at me.
"Hey grace!" Sarah said getting up to hug me
"Hey Sarah! I didn't know you were here." I say after the hug
"I got here about 30 minutes ago. John B said you haven't came out of your room all day. What's wrong?" She asked as a concerned friend
"I just didn't feel good. I'm better now" I say
I mean it isn't a complete lie. I didn't feel good. I'm slightly better but I'm not going to tell her why, I mean it is her brother.
I caught JJ looking at me. I could have swore he was looking me up and down. Maybe my brain was just imagining it.
"You ready?" JJ says as he stands up from the couch
"Yep!" I say smiling
"Where are you two going?" John B says
"It's a surprise. I don't know where we're going." I replied to my brother
"We'll make sure she's back here by 10 JJ or I'll punch you across the face!" John b says almost seriously
"Okay, fine! No need to get feisty!" JJ says with his arms up in defense
"Bye Sarah! Bye John b!" I say walking out of the chateau before JJ
JJ Waves his hand up at them before shutting the door
••••••••••𓆉︎••••••••••
"They definitely like each other." Sarah says to John B
"Gross don't say that!" He says making a face
"What it's true! Can't you see it?" She says looking at him
"I'm choosing not to."
"So your telling me you wouldn't let JJ date grace?"
"I mean I don't know.. But if he ever hurt her, I'd hurt him"
