JJ's new girlfriend Serena is a Kook. They have been dating for almost two months, and no one knows. Serena is so in love she is ignoring all the signs until it is right in front of her face.
"Can we PLEASE go get something to eat?" Serena whines flopping down on her bed and leaning on JJ's shoulder. "Can't we just order in?" He mutters wrapping his arms around her. "JJ we haven't left the house in three days. I'm tired of takeout." She frowns. "And I just showered and got all dressed up." She pouts. "I know. You look beautiful baby. I'd just rather stay here." He says pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Why don't you ever want to leave the house?" She whispers sitting up. "I have everything I need right here." He says giving her hand a reassuring squeeze. "Where do you want to go to eat?" He offers seeing how sad she looks. "Really?" She smiled, immediately perking up. "Yeah. Anywhere you want." He chuckles kissing her again.
"Uh... Are you sure this is where you um wanna eat?" JJ frowns his leg immediately bouncing up and down in anxiety. "Yeah. It's my favorite. Why? What's wrong?" Serena questions confused. "I just uh. I'm just. Not feeling well. All of a sudden." JJ mumbles eyes going everywhere but his girlfriends. "Aw. I'm sorry baby." Serena frowns feeling guilty for dragging him out of the house when he wasn't feeling well. "It's ok. I'm sorry, I know you wanted to go out to eat." JJ mutters feeling incredibly guilty. "Don't apologize. Do you mind if we just run in and get takeout? We don't have to eat here." Serena questions trying to hide her disappointment. She had never been on a date with JJ, never. They are never in public together, and there have never been any signs of PDA. Yet she was in love with him, their moments at home together have been amazing. Serena was in complete denial.
"Hey... You sure you're ok?" Serena questions placing a hand on JJ's shoulder. They had ordered their food and were now waiting at the counter. He was anxiously looking around, clearly nervous. He couldn't stop tapping his foot, Serena could feel the anxiety radiating off him. "Yeah. Yeah. All good." He says giving her a tight-lipped smile. She wrapped her arms around him, snuggling her head into his chest. He relaxed into her touch, placing a kiss on the top of her head before his posture stiffened. Serena pulled back, surprised. His face was as white as a ghost. "Hey Jayj!" A female voice sounded out. Serena followed it to a stunning girl, who was holding another guy's hand. "Hey Kie. Hey Pope." JJ muttered taking a step away from Serena. "What are you doing over here?" The girl, Kie questioned. "Just uh grabbing a bite," JJ muttered looking down. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't notice you had company!" She smiles looking to Serena. "Who's this?" She questions. "This is uh." He hesitated glancing at his blonde girlfriend who looked at him with hopeful eyes. "Serena, I mow her lawn." He mutters after a moment. Serena gives him a confused look. "So are you two here together?" Pope questions. "Yeah. She is just my friend." JJ says quietly. "Your friend," Serena mutters. "Well, as your friend, I should tell you that you are a fucking asshole." She snaps. "C'mon Serena." JJ scoffs getting in her way as she goes to walk away. "Fuck. You." She whispers looking at him with a look he has never seen from her before, hate.
JJ stepped out of her way, letting her leave. "What the hell was that?" Kiara frowns. "Me being a fucking idiot." JJ groans running his hands through his hair before deciding to chase after her. "What's new," Pope mutters.
"Serena stop!" JJ shouts as she gets in her car. "Give me one good reason." She scoffs struggling to unlock the car, her tears blurring her vision. "So we can talk," JJ says grabbing the keys out of her hands. "About what JJ? I have nothing to say to you!" She shouts staring at the ground. "Well, I have something to say to you." JJ grabs her shoulders turning her to face him. He thought the look of pure hatred was bad, he would take it a thousand times over than to see the face she was giving him now. Heartbroken, she had tears filling her sea-green eyes and makeup starting to smear. "You're not my friend Serena." He whispers resting his forehead against hers. "Then what am I J?" She whimpers. "You're my girlfriend." He says wiping her falling tears with the pad of his thumb. "Behind closed doors. You're ashamed of me. I embarrass you." She says starting to sob. "No. No baby. That's not true." He soothes pulling her into a hug. "Then why? Why won't you go in public with me? Why won't you be seen with me? Why do you introduce me as your friend?" She rants crying. "Hey look at me." He whispers letting go of her so he can look her in the eyes. "I was afraid, I was afraid of how people would look not at me, but at you. You are fucking gorgeous, brilliant, and yes a kook. People are going to look down on you when they know you are with me. I'm not ashamed of you beautiful. I am ashamed of myself. I don't deserve you." He whispers. "You don't decide that. I do. I want to be with you, and I don't give a fuck about what anyone else thinks. You are it for me J..." She soothes pressing a soft kiss to his lips. "I love you." He whispers before kissing her again. Serena's heart was on fire. JJ has never used the L word with her before.
"There's something I need to do." He mutters grabbing her hand and leading her into the restaurant. "What are you doing?" She chuckles confused. "No more hiding." He smiles opening the door for her. "Hey everyone! Just wanted to let everyone here know that this beautiful girl is taken!" He shouted getting everyone's attention before pressing another kiss to her lips. "You are crazy." Serena laughs. "I know. C'mon I need to reintroduce you to somone."
