Chapter 7-embracing friendships like nothing happened.
JJ woke up knowing the one thing she had to do was talk to Emily even though she would be hurting her like she hurt herself, but she had the right to know what had happened and what was going on and truth be told she missed her other best friend she missed there girl chats and how they could always make each other smile when they were in the worst mood ever. JJ walked down the school hall way looking for Emily she walked up to Emily's locker standing next to her knowing it was now of never.
Emily-JJ
JJ-hey urmm I need to talk to you
Emily-okay but you will have to be quick I'm meeting urgh
JJ-actually he is who I wanted to talk about
Emily-this again JJ I am really sorry for what we did I just
JJ-no Emily I'm over that I am I actually came to tell you that Aaron came to see me last night
Emily-okay and why are you telling me this?
JJ sighed biting down on her lip
JJ-because he came over to tell me he wanted me back and he didn't want you and that he made a mistake
Emily-why why would he say that?
JJ-because he's a jerk and I told him to get lost and that if he was willing to do that to you then he doesn't deserve you I know you love him I thought I did but I really didn't I just thought you had a right to know and I no things have being rough between us but I don't want to ruin our friendship over some stupid guy who screwed us both over.
Emily let a couple of tears fall down her face she looked into JJ's eyes and new she was telling the truth.
Emily-your right and I am so sorry for what I did I don't even know what I was thinking he just
JJ-its okay really I miss my best friend so what do you say we forgive and forget?
Emily-you know it and I miss you guys too
JJ-look I no its hard but you need to sort things out with Aaron whatever you do ill still be your friend but know you deserve someone who actually wants to be with you for every part of you and I think I know one person who is dying to forgive but cant.
Emily-I no and I just wish I could make it up to all of you I wish I had never of done it
JJ-me and Penelope are having a girls night at mine tonight why don't you join us we can all patch things up
Emily-I'd like that , I guess I better go break someone's unreal heart for the second time in just a couple of weeks
JJ-ill see you later
JJ watched as Emily walked away she was glad she had done that she couldn't imagine how long she could of gone without telling her the truth but she new that Emily would do the right thing, JJ felt a smile creep across her face another reason for her to feel not alone. JJ walked into the English classroom to see Will writing up the lesson notes
Will-your early
JJ-yeah I just went to talk to Emily
JJ put her bag down and sat at her desk
Will-yeah and how did it go?
JJ-surprisingly well we made up and I told her about Aaron and she's going to join me and Penelope tonight
Will-good
JJ smiled at him watching as he carried on writing on the board. After class she met up with her friends .
JJ-hey guys

JJ-so I have something to tell you guys
Derek-and what would that be?
JJ-I made up with Emily
Spencer/Derek/Penelope-WHAT
JJ-wait let me tell you the hole story, Aaron came to my house last night and told me he made an mistake and wanted me back and I told him he was a jerk and that I'm over him and Emily doesn't deserve a guy like him and then I told Emily and I didn't want to ruin our 10 years of friendship over a stupid guy
Penelope-oh thank god because I miss her
JJ-I know you all have and she's joining us tonight
Penelope-YAY
JJ looked over at Derek watching him in his own thinking world
JJ-hey you can forgive her you know
Derek-I know I just don't know what to say to her
JJ-you'll find something to say
…...
JJ was sat in her kitchen getting snacks and drinks ready for her girl night with Penelope and Emily she was glad they could get back into there eventful girls nights that they always had when any of there parents were away. When she heard a knock on the door she opened it too see Both Pen and Emily laughing.
JJ- I see you both made up
Penelope-yes know come on we need to order food and get all the catch up gossip
Once they had ordered there pizza they all headed up to JJ's room and changed into there pyjamas and wrapped themselves in blankets in the living room watching films and catching up.
JJ-so how did it go with Aaron?
Emily looked at her friends and bit her lip
Emily-honestly he was shocked that you told me he totally denied it and then I basically told him my friendship with you was more important that him
JJ-wow
Emily-and you were right I do need a guy who will treat me right and who wants to be with me.
Penelope-yeah we all do
JJ sat listening to her friends when she felt her phone go off, she picked it up and saw the text message
New text message from

JJ smiled to herself not realising her friends were watching her
Emily-I know that look who is texting you
JJ looked up at and took hold of her phone tightly
JJ-no one
Penelope-yeah right
Penelope tackled JJ for her phone and started tickling her watching as she gave up dropping her phone, Emily picked it up
Emily - Hey, hope your enjoying yourself I miss you and who is Xxxxx ?
JJ looked up at her friends knowing she had to tell them something or they wouldn't get of her case
JJ-okay okay it's a guy who I've been seeing and I really like but you have to promise you wont tell anyone okay were still figuring things out
Penelope-and how long has this being going on?
JJ-for almost 2 weeks since me and Aaron broke up
Emily-can we no his name?

…...
JJ was glad they had all fixed everything was going great for her, she didn't realise how much her life could change in only a couple of weeks. JJ spent the next day hanging at school with her friends all back like they used to be. That night after she got home she decided to go see Will as she had missed him and not seen him in a couple of days. She went round to his apartment and found he wasn't there but she new where he would be.
JJ wondered into the all familiar park that gave her nightmares, she saw Will sat on the bench as Bruno ran around the park with his ball. Bruno saw a person walking by and ran over knowing exactly who it was he jumped up at JJ
JJ-hey there Bruno
JJ smiled as he jumped down and followed her over to the bench, Will looked up to see JJ
Will-hey
JJ-hey I've been looking everywhere for you
JJ sat down next to Will on the bench leaning her head on his shoulder
Will-you found me
She smiled looking up at him and then around the park she took a deep breath closing her eyes and then opening them again.
Will-you okay?
JJ looked up at Will nodding slightly
JJ-not really urgh you know that time when I said this place reminds me of someone?
Will-yeah
JJ-well urmm the person that died here was my sister
Will looked down at JJ pulling her close to him he wrapped his fingers in between hers
Will-I'm sorry
JJ-thanks , I just haven't thought about her that much the last couple days you know
Will-well if you want to think about her now then you can
JJ looked up at Will and smiled
Will-can I ask how she died?
JJ bit her lip and sat up so she was looking right into his eyes, she took hold of both of his hands.
JJ-I was 11 and she was 17 she came into my bedroom one afternoon and told me that no matter what happens she would always love me and then she handed me her necklace and I said I couldn't have it but she insisted so I took it even though I was really happy because I wanted one just like it, then she told me she was going out I didn't think anything of it until my dad came running in the house screaming for my mum telling her that he had just find Lacey's body right over there on the swing.
Will watched as the tears poured down JJ's cheeks he pulled her in close letting her cry in his arms
JJ-that was the last time I ever saw her
Will-I'm so sorry
He pulled JJ onto his lap holding her as she let all her tears out, he kissed her head not wanting to let her go, he couldn't believe how much grief she had in her life .
JJ-thank you
Will-for what?
JJ-being the one person I can finally let in and open up to the only people who know the real story are my family and close friends
Will-your welcome
JJ wiped the tears off her face and snuggled up to Will and watched as Bruno ran around like a crazy full of life dog.
