local {joji x reader}

five

you enter an abnormally silent house. you turn and take the bag joji was holding with a small smile.

"i'll take that. thanks for today." you slip out as he hands it over.

"anytime. uh, if you need to um, talk. please, i'm here for you."

"thanks. i think i'll be okay." you lie and turn to your room. it was unbelievably awkward as you did, sensing he was staring at you.

you enter the room and shut the door. you completely lost it as you fell to the bed defeated. you couldn't keep yourself from crying, it just came so naturally. with every whimper and squeal that slipped from your mouth you knew this was real. the pain was finally unraveling. you got up and looked yourself in the mirror.

who were you?

you couldn't answer that because quite frankly you couldn't recognize yourself anymore. you weren't y/n anymore. you were a shell if not less of that person.

worthless trash.

you deserved this.

you belong single, love isn't for you.

joji interrupted your thoughts.

"y/n?" he asked quitely.

"uh yeah?" you flinched at the sound of his voice.

"are you okay?" he asked after a moment of silence.

"i'm uh," you wiped the last tear and looked down, not wanting to admit to yourself that you are completely and utterly dead. "yeah i'm fine."

"no, you're not." he walked closer.

"yes, i am." you defended.

"y/n, you just went through a horrible break up it's okay to not be okay."

"i said i'm fine." you said once more, feeling absolutely horrible for snapping on him. what could you do? you needed time to yourself and he wasn't helping. nothing was helping.

"what's going on in here?" you look back to see katt in the doorway, then quickly turn back around.

"n-nothing it's fine." you say not wanting to break into tears again.

"i'll take it from here." she whispers to joji loud enough for you to hear. he walks away and she shuts the door. "what happened, y/n?" she whispers softly as she motions for you to sit on the bed with her. you do so.

"it's just this whole thing with h/n and we went to his house and we got my stuff and he was drunk, like really really drunk, and we fought and he," your lip starts to quiver and you become quiet for a second.

"he hit me." the words roll of your tongue harshly but almost in a question when you realize the truth. he hit you. he did that.

"oh god, y/n, i'm so sorry." she takes you in for a hug as you cry into her shoulder.

"i didn't know what to say. joji punched him pretty hard and then we left and here we are now." you say breaking up into loud sobs. " i don't know what to do."

"he deserved it." she said rubbing my back in small circles. "i'm glad you left him." i nod.

"me too."

night time

"she's sleeping with me tonight." katt says to max. you were all tucked into her bed as he looked from you to her.

"really?" he asks sadly. she touched his arm.

"she needs this." she said in another loud whisper. you pretend to not be listening. he gives you a sympathetic look.

"oh alright. i guess i'll sleep with george." he joked as he kissed her. "goodnight."

"goodnight." she repeated back to him. he looked over to you.

"you only get one night to steal my girlfriend." he joked as he pointed to you. you smiled.

"i promise i won't break her." you joked back as you all laughed. he walked away and katt gently closed the door and hopped into bed with you. she got under the covers and cuddled you.

"everything will be okay." she whispered. the words floated from one ear to another.

everything is far from okay.
