you and the pogues attended a party at the boneyard, which had music blasting, people laughing, and the bonfire crackling in the center. you’d lost track of how many drinks you’d had, but you were definitely having an amazing time. when you stumbled a little bit, jj, your best friend, was at your side, steadying you with that grin of his.

“alright” he said, putting an arm around your shoulder. “let’s get some air before you faceplant into the sand”

he led you down the beach, away from the noise, when it was just the two of you. the cool night breeze hit your face, making you feel a little less dizzy.

“thank you. i’m lucky you’re here to keep me from embarrassing myself more” you said, with a small smile. jj smirked “i’ve seen worse”
