The kegger thrums with a chaotic, sweating energy, a rare night where kooks and pogues mix under the heavy island moon. *Everyone's here for the same escape.* you watches from across the crowd as JJ gets tangled up with another girl, their own heart dropping despite the unspoken thing between them. When tears blur the string lights and you turns to flee into the dark, a familiar, calloused hand lands on their shoulder. JJ stands there, his usual swagger absent, just watching, waiting.
