Over My Dead Body // A JJ Watt fanfiction

Chapter 2

AN: Hello lovelies! Thank you for stopping to read my story! I wrote this one awhile ago but never put it up and then I forgot about it and it got lost on the abyss that is my computer lol! I went through some old files and I stumbled on it and decided to post it. It was one of the first stories I ever wrote. I was going to just put it up as is but I read through it myself I realized how bad it really was lol. So I decided to revamp it here and there before posting it. I've gotten through the revamp of the first 15 chapters, and I haven't posted in forever so I decided I'd post a few and gauge interest. Feel free to let me know what you think! I love reading your thoughts!! :) xoxo

Chapter 2

The ride to the bar was full of laughs and jokes. They picked on each other for the entire duration of the ride. Brian pulled into the parking lot of the bar and into the first open spot he found. He turned off the car and got out. Trish opened her door and slid out of the car, closing the door behind her.

"Stay close to me," Brian instructed.

Trish rolled her eyes but followed closely behind him. They stopped at the door, showing their ID's to the bouncer. He placed a stamp on the top of both Trish and Brian's left hands before permitting them to enter.

Brian reached back, taking Trish's hand before leading her through the crowded bar. He quickly found the roped off area where his friends and teammates were.

"Yoooo! You finally made it!"

Trish assumed this was the birthday boy, judging from the fact that the entire party seemed to focus around him.

"I told you I would," Brian shot back with a grin.

The man extended his hand and Brian extended his free hand, shaking hands with him.

"Trish, this is my friend and teammate, Arian Foster. Arian, this is my little sister, Trish."

Arian extended his hand to her. Rather than shake her hand, he pulled her in for a hug, taking her by surprise.

"It's nice to finally meet you!"

"... Uhh... Thank you and happy birthday," she offered politely.

"Thank you." Arian smiled widely at her, discretely giving her a once over. After a few minutes of taking her in, he finally shook his head. "There's no way ya'll are related. She's too damn beautiful to be related to your goofy lookin ass!"

"Really bro?" Brian snapped.

"I'm just sayin," Arian retorted with a nonchalant shrug.

"We're not related by blood. We grew up together... Our mom's are best friends. We were basically together everyday since we were in diapers. We're so close that we just consider each other brother and sister," Brian explained.

"Ahh! I get ya. So what brings you all the way down to H-Town and to live with his ass?" Arian asked innocently.

There was a brief silence. Arian could see the look of panic that was evident on her face.

"Hey... How about you go over there and grab us both a beer?" Brian suggested.

"Okay," Trish answered before quickly disappearing into the crowd.

"Uh, did I say something wrong?" Arian asked confused by what just happened.

Brian hesitated, trying to decide how to approach the situation. "She came down here because... Her ex used to beat her. The last time he beat her pretty bad and put her in the hospital. She got a restraining order but that didn't stop him..."
