"Hey did you guys see you know who leave just now?" Sarah whispered to the group.

"No who?" Topper asked.

Picking up her menu she mouthed the words pogues.

"Really, where?" Said Rafe, looking around.

"I just said they left dumb ass."

"Your bar of comprehension is literally in hell right now." Kie added, scanning through her menu.

" My graduation certificate says other wise."

"We all know that would've been an entirely different story if I didn't help you." She said.

"Whatever."

"Anyways, where were you last night?" Sarah asked, turning to the brunette.

"What do you mean?" She responded, glancing up.

"You said you were going to your house after you dropped me off, and I came over later but you weren't there."

Kiara nodded slightly while mentally coming up with an excuse. They have no knowledge that she surfs. It's the only thing she can do that's...hers. Of course she adores her friends but sometimes she wants to be alone ,especially when her parents put her in that situation. Also with the knowledge that JJ works at the place she surfs at. His existence is something she gradually doesn't find resentful but they'll say other wise.

She closes the menu setting it down before giving she thinks is a plausible answer.

"Um out, y'know just a little jog, helps to relive stress."

Sarah bobs her head understandably, turning back around."Oh, well call me next time, I wouldn't have mind."

"Right, sorry."

Some things are best when it's a secret.

After their lunch JJ drove them back to the château. He didn't want Mary to do anything else that could harm her. They stayed of course, since it's been a while since Big John hung out with them. JJ, Pope, and John B are currently hanging out in the backyard while Mary and Big John are on the dock admiring the view.

"I can't believe they graduated." He spoke, sipping on his beer.

"Tell me about it, it feels like they were just trying to walk yesterday."

" I know and eventually they'll help us try to walk."

A small chuckle escapes her lips. She glanced back seeing the blondes bright grin. Part of her believes the future is unexpected and she will outlive the life expectancy of her condition but the rest is not so sure about that.

"John?" She murmured, looking over at him.

"Hm?"

"When...y'know...it happens, would you keep an eye out for JJ for me?"

She sees his eyes drift down hesitating. He then turns to her.

"Mary-"

"Please, John." She begged softly.

Seeing the struggle in his eyes he finally nodded.

"Of course."

Sometimes reality hurts. But not as much as the illusion we create when we don't want to accept it.

Because our feelings and hopes love clouding the inevitable.

After longs hours of hot sun, and blazing heat Kiara finally made it home. After lunch they (mostly Sarah and Kiara) thought it would be best to walk around on the main land. It was something they don't do often as a group since it's predominantly the girls while the boys play games or throw parties.

She closed the door, locked it and headed up stairs. The house is quiet and empty. She didn't even bother saying goodbye the other day. All they do is leave and all she does is spend her time alone. They never really brought her with them all the time since it's always work related. Sometimes in the summer but she stopped because they hardly spent time together while they were there. She was too young to do anything else and her friends were other places to join her.

Dropping her bags next to her dresser she walked out going over to the bathroom. Moving the curtain she turned on the faucet, letting it run till it gets warm. Going back to her room she gradually takes off her jewelry one by one setting her rings, bracelets and necklaces on her dresser. Then opens one of the drawers getting some black shorts and a blue tank top.

Kiara grabbed her phone from her back pocket and plugged it in into her charger once she sat her clothes on the bed.  When she felt like everything was finished she got her towel from her closet and walked out again.

He kissed them goodnight.

"Love you" He whispered,quietly leaving the room.

When Luke got off of work that was their cue to head home. JJ ended up dropping Pope off and then picked his dad up letting him take the wheel. They made it with a tired Mary on their hands. The medication she takes took over and made her drowsy causing her to hardly stand sometimes. With the help of JJ, Luke managed to get her in the house safe and sound. Now she's fast asleep as peaceful can be.

JJ went to his room getting ready for bed. He has to get up bright and early tomorrow morning if he wants to make it on time. Closing his door, he took his shirt off throwing it on the floor. He put his phone and wallet on his nightstand before he sat on his bed. He kicked off his shoes and socks. JJ hates the feeling of sleeping with socks. It's something that feels illegal but isn't.

Getting under the blankets, he turned on his stomach getting comfortable as he relaxed his body. He finally closed his eyes slowly drifting off into a state of unconsciousness. Immediately, he heard a vibration causing him to wake back up. He took his hand from his pillow and grabbed his phone turning it upside. He saw a notification from Instagram.

Furrowing his brows he opened it, taking him to a message.

'Hey :)'

He's perplexed on who this is, until he took a quick glance at the name.

Kiara.

He doesn't know why or how Kiara even got his name. They never gave it away to each other. Maybe people on opposing sides but never directly. But hey, they're acquaintances, right?

Sitting up slightly JJ replied to her text;

'Hi :)'

They may have been ongoing rivals but if they can't seem to stay away from each other, then maybe they aren't supposed to.
