JJ

I was scared.

I was so scared that Rogue would cave.

We only had five minutes left of homeroom. Why couldn't I have been put in his!?

What if Ried pressured him again!?

If he even-

"Mr.Ellards, are you alright?"

I looked up at the old bat that just so happened to be my homeroom teacher. She was strict as hell, I was gonna have one hell of a year with her.

"I'm fine." I muttered through gritted teeth.

That caused a few glances my way, I was usually so easy going.

But not now.

I just wanted to get to my best friend.

We had known each other since first grade.

It took MONTHS for him to trust me.

And he never knew what common games were called. Like hide and seek, or tag. It was like he had never been a kid before he met me.

When he smiled it made my day.

Not many people could make him smile.

And once you get past his tough guy mask, he's actually a pretty sweet guy.

He was a TOTAL chick magnet.

Not that I cared, I swing both ways.

Me and Rogue have never liked each other romantically or something.

Except that one time we woke up next to each other..nude.

But we don't talk about that.

I nearly fell out of my seat when the bell rang.

Recovering quickly I snatched up my bag and sprinted out of the room.

Skidding down the hall I made it to Rieds room in under a minute. I peered through the window to see Ried facing away from me.

Talking to Rogue.

Who of course looked like a kicked puppy.

Rogue

Mr.Ried had made me stay after class.

And I had never been more terrified.

"I didn't like the way you snapped at me today. Maybe you need a detention? Just the two of us?" He drawled.

I looked down on instinct "No sir, I'll be better."

He scoffed lightly, "You? Better? Yeah right."

He's right.

You should've never left him.

He would've put you in your place.

I shivered as the voices laughed.

"Look at me." He ordered.

I slowly looked up.

His eyes sparkled as he smiled at me.

I felt a warm feeling come over me.

Remebing just how much I loved him I stepped closer.

"Theres the Rogue I remeber." He praised putting a hand on my shoulder.

I smiled leaning into his touch, how could I have ever left my Josh?

Josh Ried.

Even his name was perfect.

Sighing happily I vaguely thought about how foggy my mind felt.

"You know what?" He said lightly pushing me away "I don't think I want you back."

My face fell as my heart cracked in two.

"Wh-what?" I stammered.

The door slammed open making both of us jump.

"Rogue! Let's go."

Mr.Ried broke eye contact with me to look at JJ.

And suddenly all my love for him disappeared.

I shook my head trying to clear the fogginess that lingered there.

"I'm not done speaking with him yet." Mr.Ried said calmly.

JJ ignored him grabbing me by the arm and dragging me out.

Once we got outside and around the corner he stopped looking me up and down.

"Are you alright? Did he touch you? Did he say anything?" He asked quickly.

"I'm fine" I muttered "nothing happened."

He frowned, "You need to tell me man.."

"I said I'm fine." I assured him "what class is Boone in right now?"

"I don't know, but you have Spanish. So get going." He sighed.

I nodded moving past him quickly before he could ask anymore questions.

As I weaved my way through the halls, I found myself getting sick with fear.

It terrified me that he could still control me like that.

I just wanted to see Boone.
