Summary
JJ had his first panic attack when he was in the third grade.
Coincidentally, he met John Booker Rutledge the same day.
JJ was holed up underneath the slide, trying his hardest to catch his breath. John B was playing a game of tag with his friends, and he was trying his hardest to get away.
He ducked under the slide, running right into a hyperventilating JJ.
The rest was history.
*
JJ doesn't let people in. Sometimes, it's not his choice.

Summary
Pope shakes his head, rubs his neck. “You don’t want me to make this a thing.”
JJ nods, says nothing.
“I have to make this a thing, J,” he says finally. JJ groans, but deep down he’s glad someone doesn’t listen to him for once. “I don’t know what’s going on. I want to help.”
“Nothin’s goin on,” JJ mutters. “This isn’t new, Pope.”
“Yea, I gathered that much.”
Pope waits. He’s always had a way of getting to JJ, even when his other friends couldn’t. JJ would spill all his secrets to Pope, if he asked. He always will.
*
JJ has an anxiety attack, and Pope is the only one around. Thankfully, Pope is a JJ whisperer.
