What A Time

Stranded

(This part is from when they were all sitting around the fire at the end of ep. 10)

Music: I really recommend playing the song 'What a time' by Julia Michaels and Niall Horan quietly in the background, it make such a difference. Hope you enjoy this chapter. x

JJs Pov:

For just a few good moments I was the happiest I have ever been. With everything going on, the  laughter, the sight of my friends happiness and smiles beaming over the burning fire made all my problems go away in an instant, even if was just for a small moment, I loved it. I loved seeing my family happy.

I love them all  but I just can't my eyes of her. Kiara Carrera. The way she laughed at me when I burned my finger on the fire, the way her eyes were sparkling at me under the orange sunset, the way her gorgeous, rich, dark hair waved in the wind like the ocean. She was my happiness. She made me smile. But I know I can't have her, I know I don't deserve her, she just isn't mine to have.

Kiaras Pov:

What an idiot he burnt his finger on the fire AGAIN. His stupidity just made me burst out laughing at him. He was my happiness. It was the best night, I got high and danced,  laughed  and messed around with JJ. When I was with him all my problems went away in an instant.

Once everyone had calmed down a bit and sat down to chat, I was sitting with JJ looking at the bash on his head that had almost killed him earlier. God, I don't know what I would do if he died. Honestly I'd probably die with him. I was looking at the bash and then found myself  brushing and twirling my fingers through his fluffy, sun kissed,  golden hair. Ugh I loved it. Once I realised what I was doing I quickly put my hands by my sides. 
'Sorry.' I said sharply and awkwardly as I turned my
head to avoid making  eye contact.
JJ made a confused look and laughed, also not looking at me to avoid awkward eye contact.
He then turned to look at me with his shimmering ocean blue eyes 'I really don't mind'. He said smiling

My heart started beating rapidly when he said those innocent but meaningful words that I could feel made my cheeks go bright red. I just looked back into his gorgeous eyes and smiled back. At that moment I could feel someone's eyes from the other direction on me. I turned to look and it was Popes, he stared deeply into my eyes with a devastated but knowing look. He had seen me and JJ flirting all night. He sharply turned his head back to continue his conversation with Cleo.

I love Pope, I really do but only as a friend. I would die for him. But I can only truly now understand that I do not love Pope any more than a friend. I guess I only stayed with him because that's what everyone told me to do after I kissed him. I know, I know it's sounds like I lead him on but between the not knowing  if my best friend was still alive or not and the getting high and the fighting with my parents, I didn't know what my feelings were. But it has most certainly become apparent to me over these last couple of days that Pope is not the first person I turned to when I was upset or needing help it was J- .Holy shit. Holy shit. It was JJ.   I'm in love with JJ Maybank.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter x.
