JJ's hung up.

You'd been spending less time at the Chateau in favor of spending time with Trent since it was the last week that he'd be on the island. His mind was racing, conflicted with the thoughts of your mouth on Trent and his lips on your neck. The night of the party had been the worst moment of the week and his jaw hurt from clenching by the time he ended up crashing out on John B's couch. JJ always drank to forget and that night wasn't an exception.

He knew it wasn't just about sex with you anymore. It wasn't about the opportunity for him to get off by the hand of someone else. It wasn't about him taking advantage of you. There was nothing complicated about the two of you in the bedroom.

But outside of the bedroom, JJ's head was spinning every time you said goodbye or forced him out the door because your parents were home. He didn't have to think when he was with you; JJ knew what you wanted and knew what to expect. He knew that his time alone with you was the product of these lessons but that didn't mean he had to think of this time as anything but passionate. When his tongue wasn't down your throat, he was thinking about the tight feeling in his chest that left him wondering what was going to happen once you told him it was over because he didn't want this to end.

JJ hadn't thought about the lessons ending until he saw you tucked underneath Trent's arm at the party. This whole situation wasn't friends with benefits and he knew it, which is why it messed with his head so much. Yes, there was the whole "no strings attached" ordeal, but this wasn't just one of you calling the other for sex. This was much more complicated. You were one of JJ's best friends but the only difference is you'd seen him naked, intentionally.

His thoughts are preoccupied with the idea that once the lessons end, you might still be with Trent despite him no longer being on the island. JJ would have to go back to being just friends and he'd have to pretend that he never saw you naked. He'd have to pretend he didn't revel in the thought of you trembling beneath him. The other Pogues, to his knowledge, had no idea that the both of you were fooling around and he didn't know if it was something he wanted to disclose. On one hand, he wanted a second opinion on whether or not this was something healthy. On the other hand, he knew what they would say; that JJ didn't care about catching feelings and it was unlikely that he would consider succumbing to being a boyfriend. He knew he'd expressed his disdain for relationships in the past, but now he wasn't so sure.

You ended up skipping out on the last two beach sessions in favor of Trent. Pope had decided to stay behind on the sand with JJ while Sarah, Kiara, and John B. enjoyed themselves under the warmth of the sun and the contrasting coolness of the ocean waves. Pope could sense something was amiss when JJ was the first to propose having a relaxing afternoon and hadn't shown up with his surfboard tucked underneath his arm.

"Something's up," Pope stated. "Something's been up for a while and I didn't want to say anything about it until I knew for sure, but something's definitely up." JJ shook his head.

"It's nothing." Pope nudged JJ with his shoulder.

"C'mon, man. You don't want to surf, your mind is a million miles from where you are, and not to mention, this entire week you've been moody."

"I'm not moody," JJ muttered with a scowl, flicking at a clump of sand near his foot. Pope's mouth formed a knowing smile. JJ sighed. "Okay, I've been moody."

"What's up? Is it your dad again?"

"No," JJ replied softly. "I just think life is bullshit."

"We all think life is bullshit."
