story 101

Kie's POV:

Today was Thanksgiving and this holiday looked different for all the pogues. Sarah was having it at her house and she invited John B. Pope was with his parents. I was also with my parents at the huge Thanksgiving they hosted every year. I had no idea what JJ was doing but he usually went over to Pope's or he found some girl to hang out with.

I was in the middle of my Thanksgiving when JJ sent me an SOS text. I excused myself from the table and I drove to his house. I arrived and I carefully opened the door and said, "JJ"

"Yeah, I'm in the kitchen"

I walked into the kitchen and I'd never been in his house before. I saw he cooked, like actual Thanksgiving food. He sat at the table and his lip was busted open, his knuckles were red, and his white shirt was full of blood.

"Are the okay?" I asked grabbing an ice pack from the freezer and wrapping it in a dish cloth

I lightly held the ice pack to his knuckles and he said, "I tried, Kie.. I tried to have a Thanksgiving with my dad. He just came came home and said it was some kook shit holiday and he beat the shit out of me"

"You made all this?" I asked surprised

"Yeah, I mean it's not a turkey it's a rotisserie chicken because who the fuck knows how to cook a turkey and everything else is out of a fucking box and probably tastes like shit but I tried"

I got up and I hugged him. He always tried so hard to impress his father and Luke never seemed to care.

"Let's get you cleaned up" I said as we went to the bathroom and found some first aid supplies

After that, JJ said, "I just need to get the fuck out of here"

"I'd love to stay and enjoy your Thanksgiving meal if you'd let me" I said meaning it

"Kie, I'm not stupid. You have all your family and friends over right now. Your family is known for having incredible food. This is shitty food and you deserve something that won't make you sick"

"It's not going to make me sick" I said grabbing a plate and putting some food on it

JJ did the same and he pulled out two beers for us. He nervously watched as I tried everything and I said, "Relax, this tastes amazing"

"Really?"

"J, sometimes it's about the thought, effort that goes into this not the quality. I'd much rather be here eating with you than around all the kooks at my house"

I got seconds and so did JJ. I helped him clean up the leftovers and then I asked, "So where did your dad go?"

"To the bar, the club, who knows" JJ said not really caring

"What do you want to do now?"

"Take a nap" JJ said heading to his bedroom and I didn't really know what to do

Should I follow him? Should I just leave and let him nap? Thankfully, I didn't have to make a decision because JJ called, "You coming?"

I followed him to his room. It was small. He had a dresser, a nightstand, and a twin sized bed. There wasn't much in his room but he had some clothes laying around his floor.

I entered his room and he locked his door behind me. He told me it was just in case and he always had it locked.

I was in a leather skirt, a sweater, and heels. JJ looked and said, "I have some clean clothes in that top drawer if you want to put something more comfortable on"

I slipped my heels off and walked over to the drawer. I grabbed a pair of his joggers and one of the t-shirts. I looked at him and said, "No peaking"

He turned his back and he try to look once as I changed into his clothes. I walked back toward his bed and he said, "Damn, my clothes look better on you than they do on me"

"Shut up" I said laying down beside him

His bed was small so we were pretty close. It was around seven at night and we were just going to take a quick nap.

"J, thank you for spending Thanksgiving with me. It's the most fun Thanksgiving I've had in years"

"Thanks for coming, I knew you would"

"Always" I said as we both fell asleep

That little nap turned into me waking up at 8am. I woke up literally in JJ's arms. I lightly shook him awake and said, "J, get up"

"What time is it?"

"8am"

"That's early, come back to bed" He said pulling me back closer to him

"I have to go. My parents don't even know that I left last night"

JJ sat up and he just asked, "Are you freaked out because you spent the night here?"

"No... I mean maybe. I don't know. I didn't expect the night to end with a sleepover. I know how many girls you have in your bed and I don't know if you were expecting something last night but.."

"I've never had any girls in my bed at my dads house. I've never even let John B or Pope come over. You're the first girl to ever sleep in this tiny bed with me. I had no expectations. I was just exhausted last night and wanted to nap. I didn't realize I was going to sleep all night. Truth is, I haven't slept that good since before my mom left"

"Really?"

"I usually wake up a few times every night from nightmares and shit"

I laid back down and said, "You win, we'll go back to sleep for a few more hours"

We curled back up together and this time a little closer than before. I felt so safe here with him and he felt safe with me. I have a feeling we were going to be spending many more nights together.
