Stay- JJ Watt Fanfic

Chapter 6

~JJ’s POV~

After Lucy opened up and let everything out it was a quiet drive to my house. I would glance over and she would be looking out the window, taking in her new sights.

“JJ?”

“Yea?”

“Did you ever try to find me?” She asked, still looking out the window.

“I did. But I always came up with nothing.”

“I wish you hadn’t.”

“Why?” I asked.

“Because I’m afraid of what this will turn into.” She sighed.

“So you regret coming down here?”

“I don’t know.” she admitted after a few minutes.

“Why are you having doubts? Lucy… please just try. If not for yourself, but for me.”

“I don’t want us to get hurt again. I don’t think I could handle it if you were ripped away from me again.”

“Lucy, I’m begging you. Please don’t change your mind. Please try to be happy… here with me.” I said pulling into my driveway.

“What happens when I have to go back to Nashville?” She asked, now looking at me.

“I don’t know but we’ll figure it out. One thing I know for sure is that I’m not going to give you up after I found you again.” I said.

She remained in the car, looking back out the window again, thinking… she always over thought things.

“I guess you need to show me my room then.” She said, taking off her seatbelt.

“Technically its our room.” I said.

She laughed nervously…

“Lucy… nothing wont happen unless you want it to.” I said, trying to give her some reassurance.

“I know.” she mumbled.

I let her into the house and gave her a quick tour, there wasn’t much to see but you could tell it was a little bit of a bachelor pad.

“You can tell a guy lives here.” She joked as she took it all in.

“It didn’t smell bad in here when you walked in did it?” I asked and she shook her head.

“No… it smells like you.”

“So it smells like?”

“Manly?” she said, unsure of her answer.

“What do I smell like?”

“I don’t know… outdoorsy but a hint of cologne?” she said blushing.

“Hmm. I’ve never been told I smell outdoorsy.”

“I don’t know how to describe it. I just know you smell good.”

“You smell good too.”

She was thoughtful for a moment.

“Are we really going to smell each other the whole time?” She asked.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“No, I was just complimenting you since you complimented me.”

She only nodded, clearly embarrassed. I led her upstairs and to the room we’d be sharing.
