You and JJ had been dating for a few months. Your relationship was perfect, almost too perfect. You knew that eventually something was going to come between you, undoubtedly causing an argument. You just never the thought that the cause of the argument would be all because of a kook. And worst of all, the pogues had taken JJ's side.

You didn't blame them, they had known JJ longer than they had known you. But that wasn't an excuse to completely ignore your side of the story.

The truth was that Rafe had come onto you during a party at the boneyard. And him being much taller, made it practically impossible for you to push him off of you. JJ and Pope noticed almost immediately and pulled the Cameron boy off of you. You leaned in to hug your boyfriend, but he simply shook your hands off of his shoulders and left, with Pope trailing behind him a lost puppy.

You tried multiple times to talk to him, but each time he just got angrier. That disaster was three night ago, and you hadn't heard from him or the other pogues since.

To try and lift your mood, you decided to go surfing. Turns out your best friends seemed to have the same idea.

You were walking towards the beach, your surfboard resting casually on your hip, when you first noticed the crew. Their laughter and cheering flying through the air, piercing your heart like a blade. They were hanging out without you. You sucked in a deep breath before deciding to stay and do what you came here for, surf.

It wasn't long before they had noticed you two, but you chose to ignore them, after all you tried everything you could and if they didn't see that, then so be it.

But that couldn't stop the tears from welling up in your eyes as you sat on your board waiting for  another wave. Hearing JJ's laugh is what ended up breaking you.

"Shit, shit shit" you muttered while diving under a crappy wave. The tears began to cloud your vision to a point that you couldn't see. You quickly paddled back to shore and ran to your towel.

Unbeknownst to you, JJ had noticed your retreating figure and watched you worriedly. It looked like you were crying and that scared the shit out of him. He turned to Pope, who like JJ, was sitting on his board.
Pope's face said it all. It held guilt. The mathlete's face made JJ question everything.
"Are you sure that she was kissing Rafe?"
His question drew the attention of Kiara and John b, who both looked at each other confusedly before paddling closer to the two boys.

"I'm not sure at this point J." Pope stammered.

"He was drunk JJ, and so were you, so don't blame him" said Kie, defending Pope.

Kiara glanced at you, her face softening at the sight of your figure. Even from far away, she could tell you were trying hard to keep your tears in, but failing miserably. "Shit"

JJ looked at Kiara and then at you.
"Fuck guys! I messed up."
JJ ran his hand through his dripping hair before paddling out to shore. He dropped his board on the sand and began running towards your retreating figure.

You were heading back to your Mini Cooper, when you heard the sound of someone running from behind you.
"Wait! Y/n please!" A voice cried out.

JJ.

You clenched your jaw and continued walking. You felt JJ's hand grab your shoulder, forcing you to turn to him.

His face dropped at the sight of yours. His clear eyes met your cloudy ones. His hand wrapped around yours, pulling you towards him.

"Baby I'm so sorry, Pope told me that you two were kissing and I was so wasted that I believed him."

"Why didn't you ask me? Why didn't you come to me?" You whimpered, trying your hardest to keep the tears from falling down your rosy cheeks.

JJ looked down at his feet before looking up to meet your eyes, "I was scared."

Your eyebrows furrowed, "scared of what?"

" That it was true. Because if it was, then that would mean that I would lose you. And I don't know what I would do if I lost you." He paused, " you're different from any other girl I've dated and I'm a dumb ass for believing Pope when we were both shit-faced. It was all a big misunderstanding. I'm sorry."

You exhaled softly, a tear escaping your eye and trailing down your cheek. JJ's thumb reached out to wipe the tear softly. "Ice cream." You whispered, glancing into JJ's eyes.

The blonde looks at you confused, your words catching him off guard.

You chuckle and readjust your board. "You,"you pause pressing your finger into his chest.
"Owe me ice cream and cuddles for the next week, you big jerk." You turn to the group who were attempting to hide behind the same tree. Dumbasses you thought, "and you all owe me an apology"

JJ's shoulders relax at your words and he pulls you into a hug, kissing your nose gingerly. He continues to whisper apologies into your ear, but you shush him by kissing his lips gently. The two of you pull apart and the blond moves aside to let the others apologize.

"I'm sorry for never checking up on you. We girls have to stick up for each other, and I didn't do that. I'm sorry" Kiara says grabbing your surfboard from your hands, holding it with her free hand.

Pope was the next to apologize. " I shouldn't have assumed that you were kissing Rafe." He looks disgusted at the mention of Rafe, " I mean, come onnn, how stupid could I be. I'll get you a slushy to make up for it." You nod your head eagerly and he chuckles pulling you into another hug.

John b scratches his head awkwardly before walking towards you. " Truth is, I've been with Sarah these past few days, so I had no idea what happened at that party. I still should've called you though. You can pick the movie at our next movie night. Deal?"

"Deal." You state. You lace your hand with JJ's before turning to the others,

"Now how about that ice cream?"

This one was kinda all over the place, but I hope you still liked it :)
Peace ✌️
