Your POV

I was on my way to Chateau because we were all going to hang out together. I always like to walk rather than having either Kie or JJ pick me up since the both of them are always very fond of my house even though I'm not poor or rich I'm like in the middle. My parents are pretty well paid and we have a big house, but not super big like a normal house that fits my whole family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was looking around my surrounding when I all of a sudden heard a familiar voice shout John B. I got concerned because JJ never shouts like that, I mean he shouts but never with any concern in his tone. So I'm running up the path to find JJ, Kie and Pope all standing still watching John B walk down to the docks. When I came to a stop I was breathing a little fast which caught all three of their attention. Before any of them could get a word out I said...

" What the hell is going on here? Why did John B walk down to the docks by himself? Why are you so concerned for him?"

All of them were just standing still not talking. I snapped my fingers to get their attention. Pope was the first to break. I looked at him with general confusion. He let out a breathy sigh.

" We we're talking about his father when he got a sad look on his face. We all thought he was going to cry, but he instead just walked away from us."

I nodded and asked...

" Then how come I heard JJ shout his name with a tone of concern?"

Pope looked over at JJ and silently asked if he wanted to answer or he should continue to do the talking. JJ looked over at me and told me...

" I shouted his name cause I'm concerned for him. He just got the news that his father passed, but he won't talk to anyone. I just wish he would open up to me. Like I've been there for him since third grade."

I could tell he was about to cry, but he didn't want to show it, so I pulled him into a warm, but comforting hug, I whispered things to calm him down like..'jay it's going to be okay. He'll come around to talking about it eventually. Don't stress over this okay.'

I was about to pull away from the hug, but he pulled me back into the hug. I felt him tighten his grip on me,which made me smile. I put my hand on the back of his hair to see if that would calm him down a little more, since he was still somewhat upset about the whole John B thing.

JJ's POV

I felt Y/n/n begin to pull away from our hug we were sharing. I didn't really want the huf to end so I pulled her back into it, but hugged somewhat tighter. I could feel her smile when I did that. I then felt her play with my hair which calmed me down some, I then pulled away from our hug. She still held me in her arms, but was just looking in my eyes to make sure I'm calm and won't break down again.

I smiled down at her to let her know I was calm and wasn't going to break down again.

Your POV
Once I knew he was calm I looked over at Pope and Kie.

" Are you guys good or do you guys want a hug from me too?" I asked

They both smiled, but declined. I smiled and nodded before saying...

" Um, I'm going to go check on JB."

All three of them nodded. I started my way down to the dock where he was sat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was getting super close to him, so I slowed down my speed. I let out a slow breath before sitting down next to him.

We sat in silence for a little before I turned my head to already find John B looking at me. I gave him a small smile before saying...

" Are you feeling okay? Because the group tried to get your attention, but you didn't listen to them."

He let out a heavy sigh before saying...

" I just have a lot going on in my mind right now."

I nodded and waited to see if he was going to say anything else before speaking. He went to open his mouth, but he closed it. I gave him a smile to see if that would help and to let him know that I am listening.

John B's POV

I wanted to tell her about what was going on in my mind, but it's hard for me to talk about. When I opened my mouth,I then closed it again. I let out a heavy sigh before I heard her tell me...

" Hey JB, you know you can tell me anything right."

I nodded my head and got ready to tell her. I saw her waiting for me to start talking while giving her full attention.

I started saying...

" Um, it's just all this stuff with my dad. It's been so hard for me to comprehend that he;s like really gone. I just miss him so much and I never got to apologize for the fight we had." I paused because I could feel my eyes starting to water.

Y/n/n noticed and gently put her hand on my knee to show me she was here. I gave her a smile before finishing off what I was going to say...

" I never got to say goodbye to him Y/n/n. I still had so much to learn from him. I wish he never had to go on that trip."

I could feel tears running down my face this time and I didn't stop them. I felt her hands go near my face and then her thumbs were wiping away my tears.

" JB, it's never going to be a goodbye. Okay." she told me

I looked at her a little confused. " What." I whispered

She gave me a smile before saying...

" It isn't goodbye, it is simply see you later."

I gave her a smile and just pulled her in for a hug.

I then said..

" Thank you for always being there for me Y/n/n."

I could tell that she smiled.

" You're welcome, and I'll always be there for you no matter what."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay I can't tell if this is a weird way to end this,but I couldn't think of anything else so I think it's good. If you want you guys can put your opinions in the comments if you want. Again I am sorry for not being active. I was sick and didn't feel like doing much those couple of days.
