"Oh, hey J. Do you need anything?" He doesn't say anything but just walks up to the bed and sits down next to me completely silent. I turn my head to look at him, my brows furrowed in confusion. He turns to look at me and just pulls me into a hug. This isn't normal for Jj to do, as he suffers with abuse himself, so I'm just frozen in surprise but soon melt into the hug. I don't like hugs so this is new to me but he just makes me feel so safe.. I can't explain it. We hug in silent for a few minutes before he speaks, "You don't deserve anything that you go through. I hope you know that." He says in a calm, hushed tone. I just nod my head and snuggle into him more.

The Next Day

I get up and walk to the kitchen to see John B, Sarah, Kiara and Pope all passed out drunk on the floor. Clearly Popes had a tough night as his snores are as loud as an aeroplane landing. I walk to the pantry and grab some breakfast, but as I turn around, I jump when I see Jj standing right there. "Holy shit J you scared me so bad! What are you doing just standing there?" "Am I not aloud to be in the same room as my princess?" He says seductively as he walks closer to me. I just roll my eyes and walk to the cabinet to grab a bowl for my cereal. I feel blue eye piercing through me the whole time but decide to ignore it. I go and sit down on the table and start eating. I unlock my phone just to see it being bombarded with notifications from my parents, and one of them catches my eye.
The Texts:
"Where the hell are you?!"
"Answer me right now you bitch!"
"I swear to God you are dead the second I see you!"
"I called the cops since your selfish ass won't get back here yourself."
"Oh fuck." I whisper under my breath, but was clearly loud enough for Jj to come up to me confused. "What's wrong?" "My dad called the cops because I didn't go home or answer my phone last night." I answer not even bothering to look at him, knowing he doesn't have that good of a past with cops. "Cops? As in the Kildare cops?! You know I can't fucking be seen near them! They have so much shit against me to put me in jail for at least 20 years!" He starts yelling frantically, slowly waking the others up. "I know, i know. But he texted that 3 hours ago, and they aren't here. So i doubt he actually did-" I get cut off by a knock at the door. Oh shit.

Everyone is now up, and are all trying to hurriedly hide Jj as I figure out what I'm gonna say to the cops. I mean, I'm a 17 year old who disappeared from home in the middle of the day and didn't answer any calls or texts the rest of the day and night. How am I even supposed to explain that? Once they hid Jj (he's crouched down in a ball in a cabinet where we put bowls), I walk to the door and open it. "Hey there Y/N. What's going on with you?" Shoupe asks. "Ohhh hey there Shoupe!! Haha funny to see you, uhm I'm doing well actually, I don't see any reason you would need to be here but I was actually about to go home in the shower sooo better get going I guess aha." I say awkwardly, being clear I'm lying as Pope face palms himself. "Yeah well I got a call that you supposedly disappeared from your home, so you're not going anywhere till you give me a good reason and get in my car so I can take you home." He says in a stern voice. As soon as he mentions him taking me back home, everyone gets stiff and Kiara starts arguing about how I'm perfectly fine here. I'm just stood frozen, as Shoupe is yelling at everyone to calm down. Once they all finally go quiet, Shoupe tries to reason with me but I just stay quiet and stare. He clicks his fingers in my face and I start hyperventilating. "No no no you can't take me home please don't, I can't go home" I say, starting to shake. "I'm sorry Y/N but it's the law. If your parents want you home and you're under 18 you gotta go back. Please come with me now." As soon as Shoupe finishes that sentence, I make a run for it. I run as far as I can till I don't hear the yelling of Shoupe telling me to get back there and all the Pogues telling me to run faster. I stop so I can catch my breath and realise I don't know where I'm at.

JJS POV:

As soon as I heard everyone telling Y/N to run faster, I jump out of the cabinet and run to them. I didn't care that Shoupe was still there, I just cared that Y/N made it out safely. "Jj! You do realise I can arrest you right here right now?!" Shoupe yells at me angrily "Yeah yeah whatever" I say as I slowly walk away from the house and start to run trying to find Y/N. I run for miles, but I can't find her. I start to get worried and call her phone until she answers. I start to lose hope, until I hear her voice on the other side of the phone. "J? I don't know where I am I'm scared" God her voice is so beautiful. I've loved her since I met her, but there's no way I'll ever tell her. "Alright, it's okay, can you tell me what you see? I'll try to find you." "Uh, it's like, a really old busted up house, and I see 2 people in the front yard but I can't see their faces.. hang on I'm gonna try look closer" "Be careful Y/N" "One of them has.. black buzzed hair and is talking to a tall guy with like.. dark brown hair I think? He's giving the guy with black hair money." My heart starts racing. Barry. Rafe. Rafe. Barry. Rafe and Barry. "Y/N, run."
