“I’ll do it.” Opal responded flatly, reaching out to take the file from her best friend’s hand. There was nothing more that she wanted to do than to remain at the Hollow and cuddle with McQueen, but feeling undeserving of that comfort – the tiny raven-haired girl would channel her emotions into action instead.

“I’ve watched her do this all my life.”

JJ handed over the file and then buried his face into his hands. He didn’t know what he was doing, this was the exact same feeling that haunted him when George said no all those years ago. What the hell was he good for if not this?

He rubbed his hands over his face before looking up at Opal through weary eyes. “I’ll clean up around here then.” He was worried about O, he didn’t want to leave her alone. She seemed almost robotic in so many ways. “Maybe we can talk?”

“Are the girls safe?” She asked over her shoulder at him, eyes steady looking at the placement of his hand. “Are they at the Hollow?” 

“Yes. They’re safe. You took good care of them. Everyone’s fine.” He reassured, shooting Mary an actual smile, not his fake one for work. “They’re okay, Mary.”

“She’s a woman, that’s how she does it.“ Dylan said, standing in the door way of Mary’s office with her hands stuffed into her jackets pocket. Since the death of Dante Blackwell, protection on The Green Fairy and Mary’s fairies had been put on high alert. Dylan would have done the exact same, if she was in George’s shoes. It was obvious that the method behind Dante’s death had been to hurt George, so it only made sense that his security on the people who he cared about and his investments be put on a higher security detail.

“Then it’s definitely beyond me.” While he didn’t see the exact use of Dylan hovering, he had to admit that the view had been appreciated. You’d think that being surrounded by stunning girls all day would make him immune but it ended up making him more appreciative of the things that separated all the girls. “So... you bored yet? We’re not as interesting as the front line, I’m sure.”

He looked up from the desk, looking out of place and out of his depth. It had been a good idea in theory but really? Mary was a goddess. She did so much and JJ didn’t even know where to start. He only wanted to help. “I thought I could organise all of this but I think this system is out of my depth. I’m not sure how Mary does all this.”

She should have been at the hospital. She should have been their to support Felicity and Diana and all those left behind. Mary would make a visit eventually, but all she wanted to do right now is work. Work to stop from thinking about it, or drinking about it. The car and what was left of it must have been gone by now, the mortician must have been around to collect what little the family had to bury. But the debris was still there, the stains were still there and all she wanted to do was have that not be the site his kids came back too. Nor was it something she’d want to leave for George or the Lost Boys to do themselves. 

So she works, sweeping up the glass, washing the stains from the walls and the pavement. And she feels it, not letting herself dettach the stain from the man who’d left them. He had been her friend, had been there when George was locked away, and came back to see them again. 

Guilt is the heaviest thing to carry, and she felt all hundred plus pounds of  Dante Blackwell on her shoulders.

JJ held his hand over the top of Mary’s, pausing her action of sweeping the glass away. 

“I’ll do this, Mary.” He said quietly. The mood was somber, barely any smiles anymore. Even his appointments had been cancelled because no one was venturing into Neverland for a little while. “Please.”

JJ: I'm fine? What's going on?

“Be quick. I’ll make us drinks.” Mary offered as an answer to his question, swiveling in her chair and moving toward the mini bar in her office. 

JJ was quick with a promise of drink being made. He found his drink on Mary’s desk and the call boy smiled wryly to himself. “I’m going to assume that’s a double cause you look less stressed out than you did when I left you.”

Effie’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she looked at the guy. Being hit on wasn’t even in her line of vision. Despite how occupation, she was never one to assume that people had eyes on her. “I–I stay at the Black Sheep.” She answered, shivering at the wind that slapped against her wet skin.

“I should probably head there.”

“Would you oppose me escorting you? Just for my peace of mind. Actually-” JJ looked down at the water pooling around them. “Let’s get out of this lake first. I’m JJ, by the way.” He climbed out of the water, holding out his hand to help Effie out.

Mary considered it, it had been a while since she made a stop at the hollow and if Tink was smart, she’d accept the gift with nothing less than grace. But Mary’s mind couldn’t help but think about the now vacant room, she’d visited last time to help the girls clean and the girl who no longer resided there. “I can’t,” Mary said putting aside another file. “Maggie’s doing to be a hard one to replace but it needs to be done.” She had girls rotate through periodically, after all her years Mary could make anyone into a star at the Fairy. But there were a select few who felt like real losses when they went, and bringing someone in to take over their spot on a more permanent basis was a task Mary didn’t feel she could outsource to anyone. 

JJ frowned, trying to solve the issue. Mary just looked close to burning out and JJ knew that not many of the girls would step forward to help. “Then don’t start without me. Let me give these shoes to Tink and then I’ll come help you. Fresh eyes, you know. Would that be helpful?”

[jaxksonjacobo-blog]

streetwclkers:

“I…don’t know.” Effie answered meekly, knowing that she wouldn’t have an answer that would satisfy him. The things she did only made sense in her own head. “I’m sorry– You didn’t have to worry about me.”

“Yeah, no. When a girl is trying to drown herself, I get concerned. Do you have a place to stay? Come on, you can come to mine and dry off. You can’t stay in your wet clothes.” He was talking too fast and he was realising very quickly how he was coming off. “I’m not hitting on you. Just to confirm. I’m only worried and I know how it is to be feeling helpless and I wish someone had helped me a long time before something did.”

“When it rains, it never drizzles.” Mary shrugged, closing another file and setting it aside. “Between home and work, I think I run on stress and spirits.” It’s not something she’d admit to just anyone, let alone one of her fairies. But she trusted JJ, it was another reason he’d managed to stay in her good graces all this time. 

JJ paused, placing the shoes on the table. “How about you get those to Tink and take a break? What do you need me to do? I can file or call clients. You look like you need a walk and a breather.”

Opal remained silent, seeing no point in telling JJ that his request seemed impossible. After all, the mere existence of her was enough for her mother to abandon her on the doorsteps of a brothel. The small Fairy was under no delusions that no one really wanted to be there for her through it all. But she’d made peace with that ages ago, so she simply said with a false smile:

“Yeah.”

JJ gave Opal a quick hug. “Are you going to be okay? I can call my next client and reschedule and we can get chinese food wasted if you want?”

Effie exhaled sharply as she was brought back to the surface, blinking rapidly through the drops of water as she tried to place the face. She didn’t recognize him, but his good intention of saving her was enough to make her relax. Slightly.

“I– I was going for a swim.”

“A swim? Seriously?” JJ was staring incredulously at this girl. His legs were going numb in the icy cold water, his teeth beginning to chatter. “Why?”

[jaxksonjacobo-blog]

streetwclkers:

The lake was unsanitary. That was Effie’s initial thought.

Still, she needed to escape for a bit. Her head often times got too crowded. Slipping off her heels, she didn’t hesitate to dip her toes into the water before completely stepping in. She exhaled a sharp breath as she waded through the shallow part to deeper territory, eyes fluttering close before taking a deep breath and completely submerging herself.

JJ had been running, squeezing in some exercise whenever he could. Running cleared his head from all the schedules and demands of his clients. But when he saw a girl wadding into the water, he stopped. He watched. He panicked. 

JJ ran into the water, diving in and bringing the girl to the surface. “Are you okay?!” He spluttered out, water dripping off his face and hair. “Are you mad?!”

“Isn’t that what I’m known for?” Opal questioned hollowly, her prior conversation with Edie suddenly haunting her once more. She’d been so sure of who she was meant to be but now, it seemed like everything was changing. And she didn’t know what the hell to do with it.

“I’m the one to play games with because I’m fun. That’s what guys want me for.”

This conversation had gotten less playful and more emotional than JJ meant it to but it was also Opal and JJ would do anything to make her feel better. “That’s bullshit, O. You are not your job. No one in this place is. You’re more than just a fun time. And that’s what I’m saying, you deserve someone who will see that. So ditch the Jenkins boy and find someone who wants to be there for the bad as well as the good.”

“Stop.” Opal hissed, swatting his hand away from her hair. She worked too hard on it for it to be messed with. At her best friend’s question, she rolled her eyes as she let out a huff.

“Why do you hate him so much?”

JJ sighed. “I don’t hate him, O. I just think that if you look at someone the way he looks at you, you do something about it. You don’t just dance around them and hope they notice. You deserve more than someone playing games.”

“Frightened? Of me? I’m a freaking angel.” Opal protested, whacking JJ’s arm away as he tried to push her away.

“I think your halo is a little crooked these days.’ JJ teased, ruffling Opal’s hair in return. “Also I still haven’t gotten an apology over your blatant ignoring of me at your birthday. Leaving me for a red haired doucheface was a low blow.”
