Chapter 8.
As the school trip came to an end, the group and there fellow classmates were heading home. Emily sighed, looking round at her boyfriend Derek. "I'm gonna go sit with her." Emily, said sitting up.
"Okay, I tried talking to him but.." Derek spoke.
Emily, nodded climbing out of her seat, Emily walked down the coach, seeing her best friend, leaning against the window, watching the passing traffic. Sitting down In the seat, Emily let out a breath. "You ready to talk yet?"
JJ shook her head, not moving her eyes from the window. "I gave him everything." she whispered.
"I know you did, and JJ I know you love him, and I know he loves you."
"Then why did he cheat on me" JJ said turning to her friend.
"He didn't cheat! You were broken up."
Sighing, JJ laid her head back onto the window. "I just don't wanna talk to him. Or see him."
Emily gave her friend a sad look. "Well if you need to talk, you know were we all are."
JJ sighed, gulping down a breath.
As they got back to school. JJ grabbed her bags, rushing off to her car, she didn't want to talk to anyone, she just wanted to be alone. Watching as she rushed off to her car, Will let out a breath. Seeing there friends.
"Don't worry, I'll stay out of her way." Will said, grabbing his bags.
"Will wait."
"I'm off to get help. Just…"
"Will."
"She hates me. And there's nothing I can do about it." Will said walking off.
Sighing, Emily turned back around. "Do we tell her?"
"Give her a couple of days, she'll be ready then."

Walking into the centre, Will looked round at his father, as they stopped at the reception. "Will, its good to see you again." The lady said. "Yeah." Will said running a hand through his hair. After everything had been sorted, Will was shown to his old room. Sitting down on the bed, Will took a deep breath. Running a hand through his hair, he let a few tears fall, knowing he had to stop, stop and be a better person.
Wiping the table, JJ looked up hearing the door bell chime. Seeing her friends, JJ sighed, watching as they sat down at the table. "I'll grab us some drinks."
Emily gave her a little smile, a couple of minutes later, JJ joined them. "So how's my gumdrop?" Penelope asked, taking the glass of JJ.
"Honestly, I feel like crap" JJ said sitting down.
"I'm sorry Jay."
"How did I not see this coming, he'd used before and now." JJ shook her head. "Have you spoke to him?" JJ said looking up at his friends.
"Not since we got back but…"
"But what?"
"Derek, went round to see him earlier" Penelope paused. "He's checked himself back into the rehab, down in New Orleans."
"WHAT!"
Sighing, Emily placed her hand onto JJ's "He said, he knew you don't wanna talk to him. So he's gone, to fix himself."
Sighing, JJ shook her head. "He really has gone."
"You okay?"
"I guess I will be."

Sitting in bed, JJ looked up seeing her mother. "Hi"
"How you holding up?" Sandy said walking into her daughters room.
"Okay… I guess." JJ said gulping down a breath.
Sitting down on the bed, Sandy put the envelope down.
"Mom?"
"Will's father gave me this, at the café the other morning"
JJ licked her lips together. "He told you what happened?"
"He told me, more than you did."
"I'm sorry.."
"Don't be, just read this letter for me okay."
JJ nodded, wiping the tear that had fallen down her cheek. Closing the door as she left, Sandy headed downstairs knowing her daughter, needed time alone.
Opening the letter, JJ took a deep breath laying back against her pillow.
Dear JJ,
I know your mad at me, and I that you don't want to see me right now. And the truth is. I don't blame you. I hate myself too. But the truth is, all my life I've turned to drugs, and I guess when I met you, that all changed. I really do you love Jennifer, and I'm so sorry that I hurt you. What I did was stupid and it should of never happened, and I regret it everyday, and that's why I didn't tell you, I didn't want you to think I was a scum who cheated. I guess I'm just used to been by myself, but that's why I've gone back to rehab, and won't be back for a while, so I hope that one day you can forgive me and know, that night was the best night of my life and I do truly love you. So see you around JJ. Be safe.
Letting the tears fall down her cheek, JJ held the letter close to her chest, letting the tears fall out.
