Outer Banks Imagines

Pogue/JJ

Y/n pov
"Mom why did you make so many?" I asked my mother laughing as she stood in the kitchen. There was probably more then 5 dozen chocolate chip cookies here.
"I got bored, and stressed from work so I'm making cookies!" She said and pulled another 12 cookies out of the oven. I just chuckled at her. This was typical. Normally she does more time consuming baking like pies or cakes with interesting designs.
"And what are we supposed to do with all of them?" I asked her and sat at the stool by the island.
"Take some to your friends. Take some to JJ." She said and looked at me with a smirk.
"What how-." I asked flustered but she cut me off.
"How'd I know you liked him? Well let's see, you really only talk about him, your phone wallpaper is him and you, and he always is taking you home. I see the way you look at him. Im busy a lot but I'm not blind." She said laughing. Well damn there goes that secret.
"It's a small crush. Nothing major." I told my mom truthfully. I was still confused if I liked JJ or if I just liked the way he looked and when he gave me attention.
"We'll go take some to him I bet he'd enjoy them. You can even say you made them." She said with a smirk. She's always trying to get me with a guy. It's actually pretty funny.
"Alright but I gotta change first." I said and stood up from my spot at the island. I jogged up the stairs and shut my door. I'm gonna wear a cute outfit! Make it so he notices me. I put on a white bikini and used JJ red flannel as a cover and put on some light wash jean shorts. Not to shabby, it'll work.
"Mom I'm leaving." I said while I put my shoes on. I heard her rushing to the front door where I stood.
"Here, there's like 2 dozen." She shrugged. "You think that'll be enough?" She asked worried.
"Yes that's plenty." I laughed and grabbed the Tupperware box from her.
"Alright I'll be back later!" I told her as I walked out the door.
"Be safe! Love you." I heard her call out to me. I returned the gesture and grabbed my long board to get to JJ house. I've never met his family so maybe I could meet his parents and possibly siblings? He never talks about them, when I'm around at least. I think it's maybe because we've only been friends for about a year. I've been best friends with Kiara for a long time but she finally introduced me to the pogues later on. Which I was grateful for.
I skated to a stop in front of JJ house. A truck sat in the gravel along with some tools here and there. His bike was sitting in the grass so he must be home. I only knew were he lived, because John B took him and I each home one night. I forgot my skateboard that day.
I walked up to the front door and knocked. I waited patiently. No answer. I knocked again but a little louder. This time I heard a grumble and heavy footsteps. The door flung open and a tall man stood in front of me. Grey hair and wrinkles littered his face.
"Hi I'm y/n I'm looking for JJ he's-" I was saying but he cut me off.
"Your his friend. I know, he's always talkin about ya." He said and crossed his arms over his chest. "Come in." He grumbled and opened the door. I smiled and thanked him. Beer bottles were all over the living room table. I tried not to judge but the place definitely could've been cleaned more.
"Here we can put those in the kitchen." JJ dad said and lead me farther in the house.
"I'm sorry I didn't catch your name?" I asked him and placed the cookies down on the counter.
"Luke." He said and stood up straighter. He looked me up and down. He's kind of creepy, but again I won't judge.
"Well as I seem to hear that your so close to my son I think I should get a hug." He smirks and I didn't realize but I was gripping the counter. He stalks forward and pulled me into him. He placed his hands on places of me that I was definitely not comfortable with.
"Get off you asshole!" I yelled and tried to push him away. He didn't budge. So I did what I had to do. I kicked him in the groin. He let me go and bent over in pain. I stood there shocked I did that. I've never done that before.
"You bitch-." He was saying but we got off my JJ walking inside.

JJ pov
"So you think your dad will have the code to get into the yard?" Pope asked. He was skeptical. My dad got fired from the impound yard for showing up drunk. But we needed to get in there to get the drone. First though I needed to figure out that code and we had to go get y/n.
"He's gotta." I said and shrugged it off. Let's hope he does.
"Alright you guys stay here." I said as John B stopped the van.
"Are you sure? I can go in with you?" John B asked. They all knew of my dad, except y/n, I didn't want her to think of me different.
"Ya I'll be fine." I said and walked up to the place I dreaded the most.
"Dad?" I called walking inside the door.
I heard a groan from the kitchen. God what did he do this time. I walked in and saw y/n there with wide eyes and my dad glaring at her.
"You've got a feisty one there boy." My dad said looking up at me.
"Y/n what's going on?" I asked her. Tears started to fall down her face.
"I-I need to go." She said and pushed past me.

Y/n pov
As I was walking out I stumbled into John B. Kie and Pope I saw behind him.
"Woah y/n you ok?" He asked and held my shoulders. That's when the sobs came. I cried into his chest.
"I wanna go home." I cried into him. He rubbed my pack and caressed my head.
"Shh alright I'll get you home." He said in a light voice. He pulled me outside to the van and we got in along with Kie and pope.
"We gotta wait for JJ so tell me what happened?" John B said. I sat next to him still crying into him.
"His dad h-he touched me." I said and gave my three friends the whole story.
"I couldn't tell JJ! It'll break his heart to know his dad was like that!" I cried.
"Trust me he knows." I heard John B whisper, but it seemed like I wasn't supposed to hear it so I said nothing.
"Please take me home." I begged him.
"How about we go back to mine? I don't think your mom will like us if we drop you off like this." John B said and wiped my tears. He was right. My mother would never let me hang with them if she saw me like this.
I gave him a nod and just laid back into him and closed my eyes. Before I knew it, I was sleeping while we waited for JJ to get back to the van.

I woke up in a bed. This definitely wasn't mine. I looked around, I was in John B room.....Oh right. All those memories went through my mind again and I got upset all over again. My crying must have caught the attention of my friends because they came rushing in the room. Kiara laid one the bed with me and held me in her arms like JB did earlier. Everyone else sat or stood around the room looking at me.
"Y/n what happened?" I heard JJ ask. They must've not told him. I looked at John B and he nodded for me to go on.
After I finished telling JJ what happened today he seemed to be burning with rage.
"I'm sorry! I didn't want you to know your dad was like that." I said sadly and looked down at my hands that Kie still held in her own hands.
"Y/n." JJ sighed and ran his hands down his face.
"Well give you some space." Pope said and him, Kie and John B all left and shut the door. JJ sat next to me and I moved so my legs hung over the side of John B bed.
"I know what my dad is like. He um he's done bad stuff for years." JJ started to say. As he went on about his family it made me want to do more then just kick Luke in the balls. When JJ was finished I didn't really know what to say. So I hugged him. I cried of course but I hugged him like my life depended on it.
"I'm so sorry." I said over and over again. He calmed me down and help my face in his hands.
"I um punched him." JJ said. "For touching you." He added on. For some reason that made me feel better. JJ cared about me enough to punch his dad, knowing that JJ would get beaten later for doing so.
"Thank you." I said and placed my head on his shoulder. He gripped my hand.
"No need to thank me. I'm just so sorry." He said and ran his thumb over my knuckles.
"Don't apologize for the shit your dad does." I mumbled to him. "I know how to make it better though." I said and stood up quickly and pulled him up too.
"You bring the cookies?" I asked him. He nodded.
"Did you make them?" He asked me as we walked out of John B room.
"No my mom did." I said and walked into view of the rest of the group. I sighed.
"Soo." I said. It was kind of awkward. "You guys want cookies?" I asked and motioned to the box on the table. John B jumped up and immediately started eating some.
"We've been waiting for you to eat these! They are so good!" He moaned out making everyone laugh. I looked back at JJ who stood slightly behind me. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and watched his face turn pink.
