───── ❝ CHAPTER 5 PART 1 ❞ ─────
༄
the next morning, i woke up alone to my surprise. rafe spent the night last night after everything that happened. he must've left at like... the crack of dawn, probably to avoid being seen by my brother or mother. i was kinda pissed off that he left without saying goodbye but i just brushed it off and got ready for the day. i didn't have work and the pogues didn't tell me we had anything important going on with the gold mission today so i decided i was gonna take today to just chill at home, maybe go to the wreck and visit kie if things got boring around here as they usually are.
i was laying on my bed, my eyes fixed on my flatscreen tv, i was watching the notebook. right as my favorite scene of all time started, i heard a knock at my door. i rolled my eyes letting out a sigh as i paused the movie.
"come in!" i gave the person outside my room the okay.
topper peaked his head in, "hey little sis..."
"hey, loser." my lips pursed as i crossed my arms, "do you need something?" i raised a brow.
he nodded, "yeah, actually, uhh... you weren't with those pogues last night... we're you?" he scratched his head and looked at me.
"oh you mean last night when you attempted to murder john b for the what... second time now?" i gave him a condescending look. his actions never fail to disappoint me.
"lucy, i barely touched him. he lost balance on his own it wasn't my fault he fell." the dumbass in front of me tried to explain.
"you don't just like... fall through a railing? what did he even do to you, topper? he was literally just getting a map from sarah to borrow. that's it." i defended john b's honor.
"he kissed sarah. he's not as innocent as you think, luce." topper ran a hand through his bleached hair and shook his head.
my jaw immediately dropped, "no way... he kissed sarah fucking cameron?" i laughed slightly through my words, "damn i think you might have some competition, top." i stood up and pat his shoulder, slowly but surely pushing him in the direction out of my room so i could go back to watching my movie.
"way to be supportive." he mumbled and stormed off, slightly slamming my door behind him.
after i finished my movie and cried through half a box of tissues in result of watching said movie, i'd decided to go off to the wreck, kie was working there today and i assumed the boys would probably be there visiting her.
as suspected, they were. i walked in and they waved me over to their table in the corner that they were sitting at. i snagged a seat next to jj as him and pope talked. kie waiting tables as the three of us chatted.
"guys you won't believe this. topper told me that john b was totally kissing sarah last night before everything went down. i called it, they were having a rain kiss just like in th-"
"the notebook." both boys monotonously chorused, "we know." jj finished and shushed me.
i crossed my arms, "anyways," i started, "have i missed anything? i haven't talked to y'all like... at all today." i rest my head on his hands.
"nah, john b hasn't either." kie answered me as she sat down at the table with us, not busy with any customers.
"is he out of the hospital yet?" i asked and tucked a loose strand of my hair behind my air.
almost everyone shrugged until the bell that was above the door to the wreck rang. john b walking in right as we talked about him.
"well, speak of the devil." i pointed in his direction as the groups attention shifted to him.
we all caught up and had a lot to talk about even though he's literally been gone for less than 24 hours.
"i'm sorry. you're staying where?" kie snapped.
"tannyhill..." john b murmured.
"so you're living with sarah cameron?" she tilted her head.
"okay, look, the only reason i'm living there is because her dad bailed me out, alright?" john b sat back in his chair, "and it's way better than foster care, which, by the way, is where i was about to go if ward didn't-"
"hey, so do you have a membership to the clubs now?" pope cut him off.
"i don't know, pope-" john b scratched his head.
"what about those golf carts they drive around? you get one of them?" pope continued to tease.
"is the hair gel complimentary?" i giggled as i joined in.
"does it come with a sweater-vest, or do you have to buy one on your own?" jj ran a hand through his hair with a wide grin.
"look, you promised." kie over talked the three of us, anyone could see her heart shatter, as if she was made of glass, "you said you weren't with her..." she pursed her lips.
"bro, just own it. she got you." jj remarked.
"look, if you wanna hang out with her, that's fine." kie grit her teeth with jealousy, "but i'm letting you know now that i'm not doing anything with sarah." the curly haired girl demanded as the sunlight from outside beamed through the window.
"do you guys see her here?" john b was obviously triggered, i knew he was covering up the fact they had something between them, probably for kie's sake.
everyone either stayed silent or shook their head.
"no, right. okay. a little focus would be fantastic." he snapped.
