John B's Little Sister // JJ Maybank

Chapter Two

"Grace..." John B softly says, with a still shocked look on his face. I drop my bag on the floor and run over to him and hug him tightly. Him, still shocked, hesitantly hugs back. "I-I can't believe you're here." he says softly while progressively hugging me tighter. I pull away and look at John B's friends. The blonde one coughs and looks at me, "I'm JJ and that is Kiara." JJ points at the only other girl in the room. I smile at the both of them and John B starts to talk, "everyone this is my little sister Grace...Lynn, GraceLynn." He says, gently setting his hand on my shoulder.
I smile up at John B, "so...where is dad?" I watch his face fall, same for Pope, JJ, and Kiara. I begin to worry, what could have happened to him that I wouldn't know about? John B puts his hand on my back and leads me outside. I look at him with a confused expression, "Where is dad John B?" He looks down at his previously white converse, now very dirty. "Dad's lost..."
I slightly giggle, like what on earth is he talking about, "Grace." John B gives me a stern look. "Oh shit, you're being serious?" I slowly lower myself to the chair beside me, trying to calmly take it all in, John B kneels down in front of me. I manage to stutter out, "what do you mean he's lost? how did he get lost? is he dead, how do you know he's lost?" I look at John B in disbelief.
"He's not dead, at least i don't believe he is. I'm not signing off the papers until i see a body. He went missing 9 months ago, he was looking for a sh-" I quickly cut him off, "The Royal Merchant. Yeah, mom always talked about how invested he was in that thing, she never understood it," I sigh.
John B and I sit in silence for a few minutes before i look back up at him with tears rolling down my cheeks, "He's really gone?" John B hugs me, "We have each other now okay?" he hugs me tighter.

God, i'm so glad to be back.

(Pope's POV)

Kie, JJ and I watch John B hold Grace in his arms as she cries. "It seems like it's going well," JJ says sarcastically, I can almost feel the eye-roll he received from Kiara. The three of us turn our attention back to one another.
"Okay so how bad is it that I honestly forgot John B even had a sister?" Kiara looks at JJ then at me. JJ clears his throat and scratches the back of his neck, "well i mean...yeah fuck it, i forgot too." Kiara looks at him, "exactly, I mean come on, he never talks about her, he hasn't seen her since he was what, like three years old? I'm surprised he even remembers her."
Kiara looks at a picture of John B and Gracelynn that is hanging on the wall over the couch. "I'm not surprised he remembers her, John B has a pretty good memory, and come
on, she's his sister, if he would have forgotten her that would be kinda messed up." Kiara nods and for once actually agrees with him.

For Me?

I know all about Gracelynn. John B told me everything he remembers about her. He talks all the time about how much he misses her. He told me every little detail he was told about her from his uncle who remained in contact with their mom and Grace after the split. I look back to see Gracelynn smile at John B while wiping her tears away.

Who could forget that smile?
