JJ was sleeping over. Again. And he still wouldn't tell you why. Now, don't get me wrong, you didn't mind. He was your best friend and you promised to always be there for him. And it wasn't hard because your parents were never home, but with him pleading with you to sleep with him at night and jerking awake at practically any movement or noise, you just needed to know what was going on.
"JJ?" I whispered. It was late. Maybe 3? I didn't know, all I knew was that whatever could be bothering JJ at home enough for him his practically live here was eating me alive. "Hm?" He said, clearly as wide awake as me. "Why do you come over so often? Not that I don't enjoy your company, and if you don't want to tell me you don't have to, but if it's something I can help with, I wanna help you." I sighed.
JJ's body tightened, I felt it as my head lay on his chest. "JJ?" I asked. "Are you okay?" I whispered. "No." He muttered back. "Oh, JJ... What's wrong baby?" I said, pushing his hair from his eyes only to see tears. "It's... It's my Dad, (y/n)." JJ said quietly, barely audible. "What do you mean?" I asked. JJ got out of bed and pulled his shirt off. The bruises on his abdomen were the size of volleyballs. I covered my mouth and choked back a sob. "JJ..."
Tears were streaming down his cheeks at this point, and I quickly pulled him back into bed and kissed his forehead. "Jesus fuck... I'll be damned if I left anyone hurt you ever again." I said. "(Y/n)... I almost killed him." JJ said. I nodded. "J... It's okay... It's gonna be okay, baby. I'm not letting you go home. Not ever." I said coldly. "Why?" JJ asked.
"Because, JJ... I'm hopelessly, madly in love with you." I said, embarrassed, looking away. JJ grabbed my face and turned it to me. "I love you too, (y/n). How could I not? You've taken care of me every time without even knowing what was going on." JJ said seriously. He kissed my lips gently. "I love you." He said. "I seriously, seriously love you."
