Eight

A few days had passed since JJ and I became a couple. We'd been spending every moment together, whether alone or with the other Pogues, who were still unaware of our relationship. As I sat at home, mustering the courage to tell my dad about JJ, I approached his office and knocked softly.
"Dad? Can I come in?" He welcomed me with a warm smile, and I settled into the chair opposite his desk."I need to talk to you about something... about a guy," I began, trying to keep my nerves in check."Is it one of Rafe's friends?" he teased, a playful twinkle in his eye.
I couldn't help but scrunch up my face at the mention of his friends."No way, Dad. It's JJ... Maybank" I revealed, watching his expression closely.
His smile faded instantly. "That dirty Pogue?" he exclaimed, his disapproval evident."Dad, come on. Sarah is with John B, and JJ's not what you think" I defended, my voice rising with frustration."Yeah, well, he's still a Pogue," he retorted, his tone firm yet resigned. "So is John B" I couldn't hide my disbelief.
"If you're not willing to end it, then you're out of this house," he stated bluntly, his ultimatum hanging heavy in the air. I shook my head, grappling with a mix of defiance and sadness. "Fine."

I hastily packed a few essentials before making my way down the familiar road to John B's place. As I approached the house, I noticed everyone was already there, including Sarah.

"Damn it" I muttered under my breath before mustering a smile and opening the screen door and walking to take a seat beside JJ.

"Having a party and didn't invite me?" I teased, trying to lighten the mood.
"Why do you have a bag?" Sarah asked, her curiosity piqued. "Dad decided to kick me out" I sighed, the weight of the situation sinking in as everyone's attention turned towards me.

"What?" JJ's concern was evident, and I shrugged in response."Why?" Sarah inquired, her brow furrowed with concern.
I took a moment to gather my thoughts. "Well... it's because of me and JJ," I admitted quietly, deciding it was time to come clean and explain everything.
Now everyone knew we were together."Well, you can stay here as long as you want to," John B offered with a warm smile, which I gratefully returned."And my place is always open too," Kiara chimed in, offering her support."And my mom wouldn't mind helping out either. She's always wanted a daughter," Pope added, extending his support."Thank you, guys,"
I replied, feeling a rush of gratitude towards my friends.
"I would offer for you to stay at mine, but I'm always here anyways," JJ said, his voice filled with sincerity."That's okay," I said, leaning my head on his shoulder. In that moment, I realized I had true friends—people who genuinely cared about me.

Okay I think her getting kicked out was a good move... hopefully. I don't know but I hope you liked this. I see people on here doing seasons so I think ima do that with this book. So this is the end of this "season" I guess. I'll be posting more often now as well (hopefully) so I'll have the next chapter out by next week! OKAY BYE FOR NOW!!!
