It was only a matter of time until Will broke up with you.The two of you were fighting constantly.
What you hadn't expected though, was it to hurt as much as it did.

Deciding that spending so time alone was the best idea, you canceled your plans with the pogues. Opting instead, to stay at home and wallow in your sorrows.

JJ had been texting you throughout the day, he hadn't believed your earlier text that implied that you were quote unquote 'busy'. He knew you better than that. He knew that something was wrong, and he was determined to find what that something was.

It was about eight pm, when the stubborn teen texted you again. Choosing to ignore the text this time, you decide to play some music and put your ear buds into your ears. And for the next thirty minutes, you sat on your bed listening to sad songs and doodling various pictures in your sketchbook.

As you finish drawing another eye, you hear some noise coming from outside your window. You take out one ear bud, and wait for another noise to see whether or not you were only imagining. It takes a few seconds for another sound to be heard. A small pebble hits your window lightly, before it falls back down to the ground below. You furrow your brows and take out your second ear bud before moving to the window.

You push your window open and look down. Your eyes widen as you notice the familiar tuft of blonde hair. JJ Maybank. He looks up at you and waves before motioning to the ladder.

You glance to your left at the ladder that's situated next to your window. Your dad had been working all day to repair the damage that hurricane Agatha had done to your roof. Turns out he hadn't finished, meaning the ladder was still out and could now serve as a perfect way for JJ to come up to your room.

You wave back at him, forcing a small smile to plant itself on your face, before motioning him to come up.

You move away from the window, sitting back down on your bed as you wait for JJ to make his way into your room.

You watch as JJ's face pops up and into your view.
The boy props his hands onto your windowsill before he pulls himself up and into your bedroom.

For a few moments the blonde doesn't say anything. His eyes wander around your room before settling on you.

"Are you okay?" He questions, moving to stand by your bed.

" I'm fine JJ" you respond as you close your sketchbook and put your pencils into your pencil pouch.

JJ scoffs, "You're not fine, and you know it. You never cancel hanging out with us." JJ sits down on your bed before placing your hand on your knee comfortingly.

" I was busy J" you mutter, brushing a strand piece of hair behind your ear.

"You and I both know that's not true" JJ says, his gaze on you feeling like needles.

"It's not a big deal okay" you mumble, cursing internally as you feel your eyes begin to well with tears.

JJ cups his hand around your cheek, his thumb wiping away a fallen tear.
"It's obviously not okay if you're crying."

You stare into his eyes, trying to decide whether or not you should tell him, because once you did, that would mean that it was actually over. Five months down the drain.

"Will broke up with me last night."

JJ's eyes widen at your words, his hand moving down to entwine with yours.

"He doesn't deserve you." The boy mutters angrily,
"You're too good for him."

You exhale quietly as more tears begin to run down your face. You rub them off with the back of your free hand, "I didn't think it would hurt this bad, but it does"

JJ's glare softens at your words. He pulls you into his arms,and into a comforting hug. You move your head onto his chest, and wrap your arms tightly around your waist.

"He's stupid for letting you go." JJ whispers as he places a small kiss on the top of your hair.

"If I was him, I would've never let you go"

You furrow your brows while glancing up at him, "what's that supposed to mean?"

JJ peers down at you and bites his lip nervously,
" To be honest, I've liked you for a while now and I was gonna tell you, but then you started dating Will" His voice getting quieter and quieter with each other.

Your eyes widen, his confession leaving you shocked.

With your silence, JJ begins to get more and more nervous, "look I'm sorry, forget I said—"
You interrupt his rambling by placing a quick kiss on his lips.

"I like you too" you say blushing. He glances at you with surprise, before a small smirk appears on his face. He leans down and kisses you.

The two of you pull away and you rest his forehead on yours. You can't help but wonder, how on earth did I get so lucky?
