JJs POV
"I don't think she could physically take any longer." John B grumbles looking to the bathroom door. I got here about fifteen minutes ago and she was in the shower so it's been a while. "I'll go check on her." I chuckle standing up and knocking on the door. "Hey Addy it's me." I say confused when I get no response. "Addy? You alright?" Again no response. I glance at John B who stood up and walked over concerned. "Addy, open up." John B says grabbing the handle. He was shocked to find it locked. She usually never even closed the door. "Hey I'm coming in." He announces grabbing the lock pick off the doorframe and clicking it in. Both of us froze for a minute. Adeline was sobbing. She was sitting against the wall in the shower fully clothed with the water running down over her. I don't even bother stripping just turns off the water and sits next to her pulling her as close to me as possible. "Hey baby. Hey Breathe Addy." I say concerned as her entire body was trembling. "Addy! Adeline!" John B barks crouching down in front of her. Her eyes snap to his. "Yeah it's ok. I'm right here. Breathe. With me. What's going on?" John B questions. "He's gone. He he isn't. He isn't coming back. He's he's dead. And he he isn't coming coming back. I I want I want my dad. I just want want my Dad. I want my Dad back." She hysterically sobs into my chest. "Oh cupcake." I mutter kissing her cheek. "I want my Dad." She cries harder. "I know Addy. Me too." John B whispers ruffling her hair. "I can't do it anymore. I keep expecting him to walk through the door but he doesn't. I can't do it. I don't want to do it. It hurts. I don't wanna be here anymore." She cries harder. "No cupcake. Don't say that. Don't say that." I sigh cringing at her words. "I'm gonna get you some water." John B says voice breaking. Adeline has struggled with suicidal thoughts since she was thirteen. John B has a hard time with it after he found her with her wrist slit in the bathtub when she was 15. "I'm sorry." She cries. "Why are you sorry baby?" I question confused. Growing up in a house like mine I knew over apologizing for things that aren't my fault. I didn't want her to feel like that with me. "I did something and I didn't consider how you would feel." She sobs into my chest making my grip on her tighten. "What did you do?" I question my voice just above a whisper. "I hurt myself." She mumbles. "Let me see." I croak out. I hate when this happens. She has gotten better recently but there's been quite a few scenarios. She takes off her orange crop top and reveals a gash on her boob. "Addy... Baby..." I mutter pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I'm sorry." She cried. "You don't have to apologize to me. Ever. Just... why didn't you call me?" She shrugs. "I don't know." I sigh and wrap my arms around her. "Do you want to get dressed?" She nods and I help her up and hand her a towel. She wraps herself up and heads to her room. "Can you check on JB?" I nod and head to the kitchen where I find him leaning against the fridge. "You alright Man?" I question putting a hand on his shoulder. "Yeah... I hate when she talks like that. All I see is her lying there lifeless in the tub." He sighs. "Yeah I know man..." I mutter. We are all scarred from the day. Pacing around the waiting room. John B soaked in his little sisters blood. Not knowing whether she was dead or alive. It was torture. "I'm sorry I put you through that." Adeline says from the door frame. Her hair was in a messy bun and she had on a white crop top and low waisted sweatpants. She looked hot "Hey. I'm sorry I didn't know you where out." John B says quickly. "I'm not made of glass." She whispers. "I know. Still going to treat you like you are." He sighs tossing her a water bottle. "Thanks." She sighs rolling her eyes. "Look I'm sorry. I put you guys through a lot of shit. Thanks for not giving up on me." She mutters wiping her eyes. "Wouldn't dream of it cupcake. I love you. We all do." I whisper wrapping my arms against her waist and kissing her neck. "I love you too." She whispers turning around and kissing me. "Alright. Make out in your room." John B says scoffing.

Adeline's POV
After JJ had left John B had knocked on my door. "Hey you got a minute?" He questions. "Yeah what's up?" I whisper. "I just wanted to let you know that I love you. And I miss him too. You're not alone in this." He sighs. "We should have a sleepover." I say putting my phone down. "Sleepover? We live together Addy." John B says confused. "In Dads bed. Like we did when we were kids. It's way more comfortable." I says wrapping my blanket around my shoulders and grabbing his hand leading him to our fathers messy bedroom. When we were kids this is where we slept when we were sick or upset. "Alright." He chuckles. "I love you too." I sighs flopping on his bed.
