Forever & Always

For Life : 15

Hailey's pov:

July 31st, Friday

     I woke up in JJ's arms in our bed. It felt nice to be home and in his arms. I'm sad I only have 7 days left with everyone before I'm off to New York and Pennsylvania, for good. I leave August 7th. JJ was still sleeping so I decided to pull out my phone. My Instagram blew up overnight. The last I checked I was at 512k, now I'm at 897k! I always wanted to be known in the world and now that it's happening it feels surreal.
     "Wow look who's famous." JJ said in his morning voice. It startled me so I jumped. "Why so jumpy baby?"
     "You know I'm not used to having someone in my room anymore you know."
     "You mean you didn't have random hookups with the hot model guys?"
     "No. You jealous? You want some hot model guys? I'm sure I can get you some."
     "Yeah sure." We laughed and stayed in bed for a little longer. I decided to get up and get ready for the day after another 30 minutes of just holding each other. I had just finished putting on my makeup when I got a text message.
     "Hey H. I know how much the Pogues love you and how much they dislike me, so I'm steering clear of you all. I'll come pick you up when we're getting ready to leave. I'm driving my truck instead of taking a plane. I was wondering if you want to go with me instead of getting on a plane?" Topper says in his text. I reply instantly.
     "Hey Top! I'll totally come with you! I really didn't want to go on a plane with all of my bags and stuff, since I'm bringing my stuff from here back to New York. So you just made my life a lot easier!"
     "Awesome at least I won't be alone for the ride. Anyway I won't keep you from having fun. Spend time with them. Bye H."
     "Bye T!" I looked back in the mirror to see JJ looking over my shoulder. I jumped up not knowing he was behind me. In the process, I smacked our heads together.
     "Ow! Shit you really are jumpy!" He said rubbing his head.
     "I told you!" I said rubbing mine as well. Someone knocked on the door and came in, it was John B.
     "Just making sure you two weren't fighting again." He said and leaned against the doorframe. I laughed slightly and laid my head on JJ's arm.
"Nope just scaring her that's all." JJ said looking down at me and I rolled my eyes.
"Right. Well do you guys want to head over to The Wreck?" John B asks.
"I'm down." I say and JJ nods. So that's what we do. We went to The Wreck and hung out for a few hours. After that we went out on the HMS Pogue. We went to our usual spot in the marsh and stayed until sundown. The day went by way too fast.

August 1st, Saturday

      I woke up to yelling. It was the boys, Pope, JJ, and John B.
     "I'm just saying Clifford the Big Red Dog would win!" Pope yells.
     "No Godzilla! Are you stupid?" JJ yelled back. I decided to scare them.
     "Shut the fuck up!" I yelled. They all whipped their heads towards me and looked frightened. I acted serious for as long as possible before laughing. Sarah came out of John B's room, and I felt a little bad that I woke her up.
     "I agree with her! Shut the fuck up!" She said then shut the door again. I guess I didn't wake her up.
     "I don't think she was joking." I say going over to sit in JJ's lap on the couch.
     "I don't think so either." John B said smiling.
     "Might I add, you scared me shitless Williams." I gave him a confused look. Then he realized what he said. "I-I mean Routledge. Sorry still getting used to it. Don't kill me." I got off of JJ's lap and sat down in front of Pope glaring at him. He swallowed thickly and stared back at me.
     "What did you say?" I say acting seriously offended. He didn't reply so I repeated myself. "I said what did you say?"
     "I-I'm s-sorry." He stuttered.
     "Hailey you good?" John B asked. I turned to glare at him, then looked over at JJ he was smiling. He knew I was joking but I wouldn't give him that satisfaction.
     "Why the hell are you smiling? This isn't a joke JJ." His smile quickly faded. I scoffed and walked to my bedroom door. "I don't want to annoy Sarah so pretend I'm slamming the door." I say before shutting the door. I counted to 10 then opened it again. I started laughing.
     "I knew it." JJ said and walked over to me. He picked me up and threw me back onto the couch.
     "You all are way too gullible." I say calming down. They all laughed.
