After spending most of midsummers with jj on the beach, I had made my way home and slept away the alcohol. Until I was woken up by my brother.

4:26am.
"vi, Wakeup." John b shakes me. "I'm awake! What do you want." I groan. "I'm meeting Sarah at the hawks nest. Please, I need you to come." He begs. "Ugh. Whatever." I groan as I roll out of bed.

We make our way and we both quickly meet up with Sarah in the thunder rain. They talk about they're plan to break up with topper... until the man himself shows. Drunk, stumbling in his place. Topper that is.

"Guys..." I whisper, trying to get them to stop kissing and notice topper. "I knew it, sarah. I knew you were lying to me." Topper groans before snapping John b and sarah out of theyre kissing. "Topper!" Sarah shouts. "Hey, topper your dru-" I go on to day before I was cut off. "Your a stupid, lying whore." Topper points at both, me and sarah. Me and her both scoff before John b slightly pushes him away. "Stop." John b states.

John b and topper both snag on at eachother until I get in the way off John b, to quit the fight, until topper pushes me out of the way, full force. Causing the rotten baluster to snap and I then go down with it. As soon as I hit the ground I'm knocked out. Long fall.

"Vienna!" John b and Sarah scream. They keep screaming my name... that's all I can remember.

JJS POV

"she's in the hospital because you couldn't go meet your little girlfriend on your own." I snap at John b as I push him across the living room. "okay big man, what we gonna do about it. Huh?" John b snaps back. "Go to toppers place, and fucking kill him." I say as the anger grows in me.

Vienna is in the hospital. The one person I care, trust and love, is in the hospital. Me knowing I couldn't be there, to stop topper, angers me even more.

"Yeah great fucking going jj." John b laughs sarcastically at my remark. I sigh before leaving the chateau and heading to the hospital.

With guilt written all over my face, I see her, vienna. In the hospital bed, cut lip, bruised arm.

I sit in the chair beside her hospital bed as my eyes fill with tears. Me? An emotional person? No. I was just actually genuinely fucking sad. If it was John b in the hospital bed, I'd make Sarah go see him and I'd still be with vienna, talking about how much im worrying about John b. Sounds cruel that im not there for him, but vienna has always been my safe space, someone I can talk to.

I slowly take her lifeless hand into mine as I lock in our fingers and bring her hand up to my face and slowly lay a kiss on it, leaving it held up at my face. I didn't care about anything else right now. Even if John b was here, pope even, I'd only care about her.

As I was lost in my thoughts her eyes started flickering open. "Vi." I gasp, still having her hand up against my face. "sup." She giggles.

LATER THAT DAY.
viennas pov.

Me and jj later show up at the chateau after I got discharged from the hospital, jj didn't tell John b or pope, so I could suprise them.

I walk into the chateau and both of the boys turn around to look, expecting just jj, they saw me. In my 15 years of living, I've never, ever, seen John b so god damn happy. He and pope both run up and hug me, tight. Very tight.

"Okay, guys... sore, very sore." I laugh as I wince.
"Sorry." They both laugh as they pull away. I look at jj and notice him looking down, I realise I haven't hugged him. I haven't even asked him if he's okay.

I take his hand into mine and pull him over to me, he quickly wraps his arms around me and I wrap mine around him as I feel him release a deep breath, one that felt like it's been trapped inside him since... forever.

Later that day, me and jj were sat at the docks, smoking joints. "Should you even be smoking? Has your lungs not collapsed?" Jj asks as he laughs.
"Shut up, dickhead." I laugh back. "It's so hot." I then say, as I'm wearing a hoodie and sweatpants. I take off my hoodie, leaving me in a crop top.

"Holy shit!" Jj shouts. I quickly look over and his eyes are examining my back. I landed on my back in the fall, so it was bruised, badly. "Yeah." I sigh. "When I get my hands on topper..." jj whispers, a whisper I heard. "overprotective jj, mode on." I laugh.

"Do you remember last night?" He then suddenly asks. The only thing I remember is midsummers, falling and... "yeah." I smile as I look down. "Shit..." he chuckles. "do you actually like me like that, though?" I ask. I've been played too many times... I know jj wouldnt but... doesn't hurt to ask.

"No, I don't think I like you anymore, I think I'm actually, genuinely, in love with you." He sighs. "It's not just a stupid crush anymore, Vienna." He goes on. "I love you too." I say, once again.

I look over at him with a slight smile, as does he. He then raises his hand slowly as tucks a piece of loose hair behind my ear. He looks at me for a moment before his lips crashed on mine. I kiss him back as he place his hand on my cheek.

He slowly then pulls away and looks at me with a smile.

"Our secret, yeah?" He whispers.

"Bet." I reply, also whispering.
