Bad Timing - Jiara (JJ Maybank & Kiara Carrera)

Chapter 3

"So now my very, very, very big family is all coming for dinner, and my parents are still fighting, and I have to get through a whole evening of chitchatting with everyone about Stanford and how my education is going, which normally, I would love to brag about, but now with all the other stuff going on, it just doesn't feel right, even though JJ is great, too great actually, on top of the world, happiest I've ever seen him which is weird considering all his problems" Kiara nags continuously as all the Pogues pretend to hear the story she has told countless times now.

"We still can't see him, right?" 

"Yeah, Agnes would let anyone step foot inside the therapy center if their name is not on that stupid list" Sarah clarifies as all the people in the room roll their eyes. Agnes was hated by the Pogues, and even though they never hated on their own tribe, Agnes just gave off a bad vibe, kind of a kook-vibe, which is why they never trusted her, yet JJ seemed to, which was the only reason they tolerated her.

"Why don't you talk to her, tell her that it'll be good for him to change sceneries for once"

"I would do that, except she hates me, for some odd reason" Kiara puffs her cheeks, the conversation itself giving her a head ache. 

"Well, she's a pogue, so she's probably just jealous of your money" Danny shrugs, joining in the banter between Kiara and Pope as he tried to find a logical conclusion, yet it wasn't as simple as his clarification. 

"No, it's more than that, and I would have my dad look into it, except he keeps telling me I'm overreacting" Kiara sighs, viewing herself in the mirror one final time, something she's been doing quite often, and not only because of the possibility of a literal baby she's too afraid of taking a test to prove if its existence, but mostly due to the fact that ever since she saw how alike JJ and Sarah were, she's been trying to look extra perfect, in hopes of that making her feel better about being more compatible with JJ, and attempting to stop her overthinking. 

"We'll look into her ourselves then, and you look just fine" JohnB's palms moved to Kiara's shoulders as they twisted her away from the mirror and facing him assuredly.

"More trouble! Are you trying to get us killed or something?" Pope gets up from under Danny's arm that was thrown over his shoulder, dragging Kiara from her wrist to sit her down at the foot of the bed, proceeding to place himself on the bed right above her as he attempts a new hairstyle on her. 

"All I know, is that that woman is sketchy as fuck." JohnB throws himself on the bed with a rough bounce, causing Sarah's frown and Pope's glare, for now they were all squished together on the small bed with only Danielle away on the couch at his house that seemed moderate for a kook.

"THANK YOU!" Kiara screams at the top of her lungs, too grateful that somebody shared the same opinions she had about Agnes, plus, Kiara and JB know JJ the most, that's why they have the fastest time out of the rest figuring and connection his current issues with his past, but that doesn't mean the process isn't hard.

"I mean I get that she wants the best for JJ or whatever, but sometimes I truly think she's a psychopath who's obssesed with him" JohnB continues, adding to Kiara's satisfaction as she nodded her head in agreement, too grateful for JB's words than she could even explain. 

"It's like everything he does she wants to control" Kiara concludes, yet the intuitive thoughts she was having never halted.

"Exactly! We should definitely look into her, I don't care what JJ says" JohnB declares, pulling his phone out of his back pocket, and Kiara, even though it appeared reversed, could read the projection on the mirror that were sites concerning the therapy center and Agnes' journey.
