"What do you mean he left?" you ask your brother, John B.
"He left a note, saying he needed to go." John B holds it out to you. You grab it out of his hands and read the note. It literally says: I have to go. JJ. After everything that you two have been through, this is what he leaves behind.
"He can't just leave like this," you say and hand him back the note. Without waiting for a response, you walk out of the house and start running to the van.
"Where are you going?" he yells at you.
"Finding JJ." You don't wait for him. You get behind the wheel and as fast as you can, you drive to JJ his house. It's probably not the best place to look, because of his dad, but it's the first place you think off.

You stop the van in front of the house and rush to the door. You bang on the door, but nobody opens. You walk around the house and look in every room. Nobody is there, not even JJ his dad. Where the fuck can he be? A memory comes back to you.

"Where would you go if you could go anywhere?" JJ asks you. You're both laying down on the grass, right near the beach. You could hear the weaves and it was peaceful.
"Europe. You?"
"Just right here, with you. I don't care where. Just as long as I'm with you." JJ is not the type to get emotional. You smiled at him and pressed your lips to his.
"Right here is perfect," you whispered and from that moment on, that was the spot you two always went.

As fast as you could, you drove down to your spot. It was right near the light house. You parked the van and started running towards the spot. He wasn't there. You felt your heart break. How could he just left you like that? You try to hold back the tears, but they come out like a river. You let yourself fall down to your knees, grabbing your t-shirt. It hurts so much. It hurts so much already and he's been gone for an hour at least. You try to get a grip on yourself, so you can start looking again, but you can't.
"Y/N?" It's him. For a second you don't turn around, thinking you must have gone crazy. But when you turn around, he's really standing here, broken and bruised. There is blood all over his face, cuts on his arms and tears in his eyes.
"JJ," you mumble. You push yourself to your feet and run towards him. You wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him close to you. The bag he was holding, falls to the ground and he wraps his arms around you.
"I'm so sorry," he says and his voice cracks. He buries his head in your neck, while you hear him cry too. It's not very often that JJ shows his emotions, but you have never seen him like this.
"It's okay," you say while rubbing his back. You're just glad he's here with you.
"I was going to kill him, Y/N. I was going to, but something held me back and I ran. I wanted to go away, I want to get on the ferry, but it was fully booked so I came here to hide and then I saw you."
"It's okay," you say again and let him go. Looking him in the eye, seeing how broken he is, makes you tear up again.
"Please don't go. Don't leave me here alone," you say.
"I'm so sorry." He wipes away the tears from his face.
"I love you JJ, I really do. But don't even do this to me. I know you want to go away, disappear and never come back. But if you want to do it again, don't leave me. Take me with you." JJ only nods. You press your lips against his.

He pulls back. "I will never leave you," he says and kisses you again.
