— The Benito teen sat on top of the boys lap running her hands through his hair holding in a bright smile wanting to be let out while he laid down on his bed admiring her in every way possible, the way her hair swayed, how she tried to avoid laughing, the way her hands ran through his blonde hair, and how dangerously close her face was to his.

Her tongue clicked as she sat up smiling at the frown that had made its way onto the boys face, her hands finding their way to his bare chest and laying them upon it.

Jjs eyes scattered along her face that held a calm look as she traced shapes around his chest with her dark red nails that slightly impaled his skin every now and then making the boy gulp.

"Tj." Her eyes looked from his chest to his head with her perfectly sculpted eyebrow raised with question. "Tj?"

"Our ship name." He gave a little smirk which Tina rolled her eyes as her hand ran through her hair which had been ruffed up from previous activities.

"Don't be cheesy JJ." She said, the maybank boy sitting up carefully placing his hands behind his to keep him up and steady. "We already have this — secret love affair going on." He said his second words in a girly voice.

Her tanned arms laid themselves over her shoulders placing more weight upon the boy who took one hand to play with a piece of her hair to which she hadn't minded, this time.

The girls dark eyes laid upon the may banks boys light ones with a slight tilt of her head at his words. "I like secrets." She said plainly but sounded euphoric to JJ listening to her words.

"Especially you, you're my favorite secret
mr. maybank." He slightly shrugged, red tints coating his cheeks as his finger kept twirling around her hair, it faintly turning blue before restarting all over again. "Do you not like being my secret?"

A slight pout going over her lips making JJ sigh in return watching her eyes became as such as innocent ones were, innocent being everything she surely wasn't.

"Of course I do but-"

"But what?" An interruption from the girl questioned, the uncertain look on JJ's face as he looked at her could tell it all, but she'd rather hear it from his mouth.

"I-I would rather- uhm- maybe." He stuttered, her eyes becoming more dull as she went back to his chest, nails tracing her name onto his skin this time bored of the talking already.
"Are you done?"

"I don't want to be a secret anymore T, i-its killing me." He said running a hard through his blonde hair. She just hummed reaching over to his roughed up nightstand beside the bed grabbing a thin sharpie blocking out anything but the slight of the boys lower abdomen.

He noticed her not responding and knew she didn't like what he just said, so he just breathed out before he was pushed back onto his pillow by the girl who was now on the lower part of his abdomen in her own world.

".....but I guess i could wait." She glanced up to him with a little smile of her own, his words finally invading her brain before looking back down and grabbing a own from the floor. "What're you doing?"

He looked down and watched her trace her name into his skin with the pen and slightly grimacing as she re did it over and over again until it was visible enough for her to trace over.

She took the cap of the sharpie off with her teeth and continued to trace over just once getting herself comfortable in a new position which left her in between the boys legs who had to endure the pain of an erection in the moment.

Her legs hanging off the bed but slightly still entangled in his, her hair had been flipped from the right to all of the left when she started tracing over the last word.

She then sat up using the sides of his abdomen and once again sat on his lap tapping at the two words to which JJ once more sat up to after the couple of comfortable minutes of silence as she didn't respond to his last words.

"It looks good." She shrugged placing the drawling items back on the desk before laying beside the boy who smiled as they became close once more. "I should get that tattooed."

"Oh god no." Tina said completely throwing that thought aside, the dislike heavily in the idea. "Barfing at the thought."

"I'm fucking offended at those words." He said raising his hands up smiling to Justine, then smirked once more as he looked to her neck.
"Nice bruise Tina, where'd you get it?"

Her eyes rolled as they still stayed upon his face, her eyes staring at him to which he smiled at. "It was me, I'll admit it."

"Your lucky I don't smother you in your sleep until you turn blue, maybank." He huffed at her words. "Its just a hickey babe, one — hickey."

"Yeah, and I told you to not give me them." She muttered. JJ waved off her words pretending the smothering in sleep comment didn't slightly concern him...but also turn him on.

He grabbed the pen and sharpie from the side and went back into his spot brushing his fingers over the sore spot he had given her not long ago. She grabbed his hand moving it away from her neck to which he raised an eyebrow at.

"What are you doing."

Just as she did, he ignored her words and turned to his side and used the pen to write his initials, instead of his name onto the hickey he had gave her to which she glared at him for but continued to let him do it relaxing her muscles.

He moved her hair away from her neck, his fingers grazing the purple mark and noticed her eyes fluttering shut.

So when he finished the sharpie trace over, he came to realize she had fallen asleep.

But he also came to realize that Justine Benito was someone he knew he could never be apart from, because no matter what she did and would do — he would always care for her even if she didn't care about him.

"𝖭𝖮 𝖥𝖤𝖱𝖦𝖸." Tina said sternly, the Bernese mountain dog whining at her words to which she smiled at and ruffled the puppy's fur. She looked at the clothing on her bed and put them in the laundry basket knowing she was about to wear them considering she didn't have many and didn't take that for advantage.

A knock at her door made her eyes roll as she gathered stuff for a shower ignoring the footsteps coming up beside her bed.

"You have a strong sent of sweat and a slight smell of cinnamon, I wonder who smells like that." Tina looked at the boy weirded out about his description and pushed past him heading towards the bathroom.

Booker, joined her side and flicked her hair only getting a slight glimpse of words before she smacked his hard away harshly. "I will find out T, and when I do, you'll never hear the end of it." He said squinting his eyes, her reaction waiting to occur.

But Justine only stepped inside the bathroom and gave the boy a bland look and shut the door in his face not offending him in the least bit. "I know his name starts with a J!" Shuffling stopped for a moment on the other side of the door before continuing with the shower turning on.

The boy had then walked away quickly stealing the girls dog which was quite big for a puppy and continued into his room where the next couple hours of video games would occur with the puppy cheering him on with many treats in the mix.

𝖡𝖨𝖫𝖫𝖸 𝖱𝖮𝖴𝖳𝖫𝖤𝖣𝖦𝖤 was a boy tina wanted to spend her life with ever since she was ten years old. A boy with dirty blonde hair that treated her as if they had been friends forever, and she always felt happy whenever she was around him.

He had the resemblance of prince charming every time he was around the girl, the smile, the hair, the body. And she became the cinderella who ended up marrying the prince.

Happiness, the need for belonging, the care for another person, but a last it didn't end that way.

Sure he was the main target for all girls around the island, and he knew it too, but he only settled for Justine. And she felt special, as if she was the only girl in the world.

But as they grew older and when Tina finally had the guts to ask him out, he had started acting different. Maybe it was just puberty? Growing older and wanting to fit in more- which billy was known to do in whatever social event he was in.

But it wasn't his aggressive attitude towards others that affected her — she took that in as him being overly protective and she loved it. Took every single minute of it even when she was the one blamed in the relationship, she was too in love to notice the red flags billy had placed upon in front of her eyes.

Over time, he started reflecting his feelings towards her whenever he was looked down upon by others. Talking to her as is she was a piece of gum on his shoe getting scraped off. Telling her how she wasn't worth much and how grateful she was that they had been dating.

And during the four years of their relationship, she didn't find herself grateful, she honestly just thought of herself as lucky that she found someone who told her the truth.

The cold blatant truth.

She found herself in situations where she had thought billy was the only one who would ever care for her, love her for her personality that was 'too' whiny for others, too needy for attention and love.

His love was expressed through his emotions, whether he was angry or happy with something current in his life. And happiness happened once in a blue moon.

He had gaslight her into believing so many things that breaking up with him was never a thought in her brain......she only thought of her only way out as — death.

But alas, alive and breathing today to look back upon stuff she knew were red flags, but she didn't care.

The bruises that often formed around her body, wrists, upper arms, hips, throat, other places. Then again, billy had always apologized for such mistakes in the end. Smothering her in kisses, talking to her like a human being she was, and giving her jewelry.

Jewelry, she had never known where he had gotten the money from but always gave him eyes of adoration in return along with a long session of telling her how she forgave him and constantly asked for a promise to not do such thing again.

He had always broken that promise.

And she had always forgiven him.

And to this day, despite the knowledge of things he's done in the past, Justine just couldn't help but still care for him despite another part of her craving for something as little as a little some bloodshed.

Strangely, her violent thoughts that were always kept in the back of her head were now trying to invade the core of her brain making it slightly strange for Tina and why she was feeling that way. But she didn't hate it, she felt as if she needed it. And that didn't scare her, the only thing that scared her was billy revving himself back into her life permanently.

Why?

She knew she wouldn't be able to escape it.
At the same time, she wouldn't let herself either at the expense of making the routledge boy himself happy even if she was miserable.

What she would do for love goes beyond her mind and care for herself, maybe its why her parents had left when she was just ten years old, they knew she would only complicate things more than that already were.

𝖢𝖮𝖬𝖥𝖮𝖱𝖳𝖠𝖡𝖫𝖤 𝖲𝖨𝖫𝖤𝖭𝖢𝖤 is what the two best friends laid in, dark room with moonlight peeking through the curtains which made a streak upon bookers face.

She laid in his arms, her head on his stomach as rain started pattering down quite harshly against the roof but weirdly made the duo even more comfortable then they started with.

The eyes of the teen started at the large flat screen blanking out of existence as wind tapped against the window making an eye of the boy open.

Booker knew Tina had a hard life, whether she lived with a kook or not. He knew that, and he made sure she took advantage of one of the extra rooms in his house three years ago as he wanted to be closer to her.

Tina smiled as the boy rubbed her back softly pulling her blanket over the hand as her eyes started fluttering shut, but bookers voice shortly caught her eyes in that stance.

"You know you can tell me anything, right?"
She glanced up and nodded without a single thought making a small smile appear on his face. "Good."

"Book?"

He gave a little hum. "Yeah?"

"Do you think I'm worth it?" His eyes squinted in confusion at her dumb words, them barely registering in his brain.

"Are you fucking stupid?"

She didn't move as she continue to stare at the tv and replied emotionless. "My brother told me I was you know, for dating billy."

His eyes softened pulling her closer to him which she did without a single complaint.
"Barry's an asshole, you know that." She agreed with that slightly with a slight head nod. "Does he need his ass beat by me again?"

She smiled at his words. The fight against a bitched out Barry and High booker invading her mind which ended in Barry holding his balls for dear life and booker celebrating with Queenie and Weed. "Obviously."

"I'll beat his ass again, don't worry T." He reassured in a whisper. She let out a breath closing her eyes which held heaviness from when she forces to keep them open.

"Don't worry." He muttered once more. The girl engulfed in his arms fast asleep not even caring about the current hurricane that was currently happening outside that knocked out their power for the next couple hours.

"I won't let anyone hurt you again."

Tina smiled at his words even as she slept but felt comfort in his words, as comforting as a weighted blanket on a cold snowy day.

𝗔/𝗡, booker is so bbygirl, Tina probably needs to get her ass to therapy, billy needs to get his ass a sentence, and JJ is just a simp.
