i posted part 11 yesterday and it got all weird and wouldn't show up. so i re-posted it this morning. hope you can all see it now!

Kie's POV:

I spent all day with the pogues and it was a blast. I've missed them so much. It was getting late and I was going home. So was JJ and Pope. They both got in my car and I dropped JJ off first because that made the most sense and then Pope.

I drove back to JJ's house and he was sitting outside and I got out of my car and practically ran to him. He stood up and asked, "So who is this boy you're you're seeing?"

"No one it was just a story to get them to leave us alone"

JJ looked at me almost like he didn't believe me and I said, "J, I swear it was just a story. I need you right now. I've been thinking about this moment since the day I left"

He wasted no time and he crashed his lips into mine. I've missed him so much. I jumped in his arms and he picked me up as I wrapped my legs around him.

We were making out the whole way to his bedroom. I took my shirt off and tossed it on the floor and JJ then then sat on the bed. We continued to make out and then he pulled away and he looked at me. He looked like he had something important to say.

He didn't say anything. He just went back to kissing me. Every inch of my body he kissed. He's never done this before. I felt awkward and wanted to cover up. JJ must have noticed because he stopped and he said, "If you don't like it, I'll stop but don't ever feel embarrassed or cover up for me. I don't mean this to sound weird but your beautiful and your body is perfect"

He was being so sweet. I looked at him and I kissed him. We continued on with our night. We both laid in his small bed and I asked, "I know it's none of my business, but how many girls have you been with since I left?"

He started counting on his fingers and was quiet for a few seconds before he said, "thirty one"

I couldn't believe he slept with thirty one girls since I left. I mean what he did was none of my business but still. Before I could even respond he said, "I'm just kidding... I followed our agreement and didn't hook up with anyone else. It's been a long three and a half months"

"You didn't?" I asked relieved

"No, did you you?"

"No... But I did kiss this guy. It was stupid. I was with my roommate and her boyfriend at this party and I was bored and this guy named Louis came up to me and we talked and then we just kinda kissed. It wasn't like we made out it was just a kiss and I broke it off and said I wasn't interested" I answered honestly as he kissed me

He broke the kiss and asked, "Who is the better kisser?"

"Definitely you" I replied as we went for round two

"Holy shit, that was incredible" JJ said trying to catch his breath

We laid in his bed and he asked, "So, do you want to keep this a secret from the pogues? I know you told them there was a Flordia boy. I know John B didn't buy it"

"No, we can tell them. I just didn't want them to bother us about it all day"

JJ was trying to braid my hair so I was teaching him. He actually wasn't awful and I loved the feeling of him playing with my hair. I was wrapped in a blanket and my back was facing JJ. He practiced a few times and then he started kissing my back and I said, "You're crazy for wanting to go again"

"You taste like sweat" He said

"Fuck off" I said laughing

We both started play fighting/wrestling and he asked, "I feel disgusting. All sweaty and sticky. Would you want to join me in the shower?"

"I'd love to" I said as he scooped me up and carried me to the bathroom

He started the shower and we got in. He let me stand in the water so I didn't get cold pretty much the whole time except for when he was washing his hair. He washed my hair for me. It was the sweetest thing ever. I wondered why he was being so sweet to me.

We got out of the shower and dried off and JJ gave me his clothes to wear. I loved wearing his clothes and then we checked the time and it was three in the morning. I was getting ready to leave when the front door slammed shut.

"SHIT" JJ whispered super loud

"You need to go right now, he's home" JJ informed me

He got super tense. He was shaking. He looked at me and told me to go. I was just frozen. I couldn't just leave him here. The door started to open and I just hid in his closet. I had no choice and I knew if Luke saw me it would only make things worse for JJ.

Luke came into his room drunk saying, "What the fuck are you doing up, boy?"

"I'm just going to bed. I'm an adult dad"

"You live under my fucking roof so you follow my damn rules" Luke said punching JJ

I had tears forming in my eyes. I couldn't believe I was witnessing this. JJ pushed him back and Luke got pissed and said, "You know what, you're a worthless piece of shit! You just take up space in my damn house. You should've just died with your mom!"

JJ hit Luke so hard that he was out with one punch. I had tears streaming down my face. JJ was shoving his shit into a backpack and I got up and grabbed my stuff and we went out to my car. I got in the driver's seat and JJ didn't even get in the car. He was walking.

"J, where are you going?"

"To cool off"

"No, you're coming with me"

"No, I'm not... I'm going to do my own thing tonight. I need to be alone. So leave me the fuck alone" He yelled at me

I slowly followed behind him in my car and it pissed him off even more but I wasn't going to leave him alone. He walked for about two minutes before he quietly got in. He didn't say a word to me. He didn't even look at me. I had no idea where to drive to. So I drove to this abandoned house and I parked my car.

I looked at him and I was the one crying. How pathetic is that.

"JJ, I know you don't want to talk about it and that's fine. What happened tonight stays between us. I promise not to ever tell anyone. But Luke doesn't know anything. Fuck him. You mean so much to me. I would be lost without you. Luke doesn't deserve you as a son. You're way too fucking good for him" I said crying and JJ didn't say anything

I crawled over the center console and into his lap. He wrapped his arms around me and we both cried together. He didn't say anything and I didn't expect him too. After a few minutes, we folded the backseats down so we could lie down ad get some sleep.

Tonight, he was the little spoon and I didn't care about the fucking rules of our arrangement. My best friend needed me and I was going to be there for him.

"Please just promise me that you won't take off in the middle of the night because I'll freak out if I'm here alone"

"I promise" He said grabbing my hand and holding it close to his chest as he kissed my hand goodnight
