a/n: this was quite triggering to write due to past experiences with situations like this but thank you for the request, it was interesting to write <3

"You're a filthy slag. You can't show up at this house after hanging out with three boys. Do you enjoy slutting around?" your dad hissed at you, his hand gripping your neck harshly, leaving a dark bruise.
You shook your head but his fist connected to your cheek immediately after, breaking the soft skin. You yelled in pain, feeling the trickling blood fall from your cheekbone, down to your jaw.
He shoved you down to the cold floor and started to kick your ribs and your back, causing agonising pain to spread across your frozen body. You could hear your moms psychotic laughs over the buzzing in your ears. She always found humour in the situation.
As your dad walked away from you, you managed to push yourself off the floor and limp out of the front door. You could heard them calling out to you, frustration and rage in their voices.
You didn't know where to go. The pogues didn't know about your family issues because you didn't want to give them any more problems to have to deal with. You were all teenagers, for gods sake, you shouldn't have such stressful lives.
Contrary, you found yourself outside the chateau, the cuts starting to reopen due to constant movement. Of course the pogues will ask about it, what were you meant to tell them?
What were you meant to tell your boyfriend?
Before you could even begin to prepare your lies, the front door was thrown open and JJ and John B came storming towards you. John B held sympathy in his eyes but all that was shown on JJ's face was anger. Anger at whoever did this to you.
"Who was it?" he demanded, while John B tried to direct you into the house.
You shrugged, avoiding eye contact with the blue eyes that managed to pull out all answers from you.
He would do something he'll later regret if you let him find out who did it. He couldn't fight your father, your dad was an overweight, strong man who towered over JJ. It would be an unfair fight and JJ would just end up coming back in more pain that you.
John B started to cater to your injurys, softly patting rubbing alcohol over the cuts on your face. You wince in pain and make the mistake of looking over in JJ's direction. His eyes are intensely watching you, looking you up and down. His eyes catch something underneath your sleeve and his hands move faster than your brain, so before you know it your sleeve was pulled up. Self made cuts and scars scattered up your arm. Your eyes fogged up and your body shook. You let out a broken sob when you watched JJ's face become one of bewilderment and pity.
John B stood up and left the room, leaving you both alone.
JJ abruptly stood up and walked towards one of the chateau walls, his fist connecting with it, hard. A stinging sensation spread in his fists but he didnt care.
"Fuck!" he yelled, vexed with himself. How didn't he know?
He felt your small hand softly touch his shoulder, your own sobs having stopped slightly, enough to let you breathe normally. His body shook violently before he grasped you and pulled you into a tight hold.
"im sorry, im so sorry." he whispered, sorrowfully. His face held a deep frown as his tears wouldnt stop.
You pulled away slightly, looking him in his eyes.
"its not your fault, baby. I'm sorry i never told you. The bruises are from my dad. I didnt want to tell you because you already have so much to deal with. I get so despondent because i keep lying to you. im so sorry." you whined, sadness seeping through your broken words.
JJ held you tighter and whispered sweet nothings into your forehead, leaving soft kisses against your bruised skin.
"Im going to be here for you forever, i will never give up on you, y/n."
"i love you."
