Cruel Summer {JJ Maybank} [c.s]

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫

It had been two days since the death of Grayson and Miranda Gilbert.

Aubrey had pretty much avoided everyone in town except Jenna, Jeremy, and John; they were the only ones who didn't look down on her... she still didn't feel anything towards their deaths. She of course had been texting JJ and her friends and still didn't know that her boyfriend was on his way to see her.

Jenna and John were planning the funerals. Elena was in her room and Jeremy and Aubrey were in her room, the younger boy had his head in his sister's lap as she ran her fingers through his hair. It was quiet but not uncomfortably, so the two didn't need to talk, they understood that it was a safe place away from any judgment.

Aubrey didn't have to fake being sad about Grayson and Miranda's deaths and Jeremy could be sad if he wanted to without being judged for not being overly emotional about the whole thing like Elena was, and it was understandable that she would be but still that didn't mean Bree and Jeremy had to be as well.

The comfortable silence was broken by Jenna yelling up "Bree can you come downstairs for a minute please?"

The two siblings shared a confused look as Aubrey shrugged and Jeremy sat up and got up as well, following Bree out of the room, curious about what Jenna wanted with her.

Bree had no idea of the surprise that she was about to get when she walked into the living room. Aubrey walked into the living room, "what's up, Aunt Jen?"

The strawberry blonde gave Aubrey a look, "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to have company?"

Aubrey looked confused, "I don't know what you mean, Aunt Jen... I'm not expecting anyone."

Jenna then realized that Bree hadn't known that her friend was coming, "well then, how do you explain the boy that knocked on the door asking for you?"

Aubrey shrugged, "I don't know Aunt Jen, nobody told me that they were coming over."

JJ smirked knowing that she would be really surprised to see him, and stepped out from behind a wall, "Well you see about that Rey..."

Her head snapped towards him and her face lit up in a way that Jenna had never seen, as a smile broke out on her face, "Jay!" Then she ran over and hugged him, the blonde teenager wrapped his arms around her waist. "What are you doing here?" He picked her up, spinning her around a couple of times before placing her back on the floor. Aubrey giggled at that, which was a sound the strawberry blonde hadn't heard in a long time.

JJ looked down at her and the look of pure adoration was clear to see in his eyes when he looked at her, "Well when you told me what happened, I wanted to be here for you and since you weren't coming to us anymore I decided to come to you..."

Aubrey had a grin on her face as she hugged her boyfriend tightly before pulling away only for JJ to wrap his arms around her waist and pull her back into his chest, Jeremy had a soft smile on his face watching them, from the moment he met the blonde male he knew that he would be good for Bree. "Well then I think proper introductions are in order, so Aunt Jen this is JJ and Jay meet my aunt Jenna."

Jenna had figured out who the boy was by her niece's reaction to him but nodded, "I figured, but it's nice to officially meet you, JJ."

"You too, Jenna, Rey has told me nothing but good things about you."

Aubrey looked at her aunt, "Soooo could he stay with us while he's in town?" Bree was giving her 'puppy face' which Jenna could rarely resist.

Jenna rolled her eyes, but there was no bite behind it and sighed, "Fine, but no funny business, you two" Both of their faces turned red, though the blonde male buried his face in his girlfriend's hair to hide the blush on his cheeks.
