JJ and you had a hate love- mostly hate relationship. You guys always would argue and act like you hated each other. But JJ really did care about you... but would he tell you that? Helllllll nah.

It didn't help that your dad's loved each other. JJs dad Luke was your father's best friend so they would go on fishing trips and JJ would make fun of you for having no idea what you're doing or talking about sports and you would have no idea what was going on. JJ would mess with you any time he had the chance.

So tonight wasn't any different, but you thought tonight was your night. Your time to pick on him. It was the 4th of July, so your family invited almost half of the human population. Your cousins aunts uncles grandparents nices nephews and JJ's family.

But you thought JJ would be a fish out of water. You knew everyone, and he knew absolutely NO ONE. You could make fun of him and- what the fuck? Of course he became best friends with your cousins and uncles and now he was out front played basketball with them. You went to look over in the front there was people everywhere. Backyard front yard all in the house getting ready for it to get dark amd have fireworks and you sighed as you looked in the front as they played and JJ just dunked and one cousin spoke.

"Aye. You're actually pretty good. Not dog shit like that guy."

He pointed to one of your uncles and everyone laughed.
