The sun shined through my room early the next morning.

I woke up around 8:00am yawning tiredly.

JJ was still sleeping soundly next to me his blond hair wild as he snored softly.

His cheeks were a faint rosey pink as I kissed his forehead softly and stroked his hair.

The events that occurred made me realize how scared I actually was of losing him.

I decided to get up and get ready for the day taking a much needed shower and brushing my teeth before pulling on a pink cropped tee with brown shorts and my white converse.

I made my way back into my room to find JJ sitting on my bed looking at me frantically.

I looked at him confused as he pulled me into a hug.

"I thought you left me..." He says lowly.

I rub his back comfortingly.

"Of course not. I just went to get ready" I say pulling away and cupping his face softly.

"Attie promise you won't leave me" JJ says looking down at me.

I look up at him.

"I promise" I reply softly.

He smiles at me.

"You must be starving lets go downstairs and get some breakfast, okay?" I say towards the blond haired boy softly.

He nods and I take his hand in mine as I lead him downstairs and towards the kitchen.

We ate breakfast and chilled for a bit before making our way down towards the Château

"How's it feelin'?" Pope asks.

"Feels good" I reply.

I was sitting in a tin drum holding onto the rope as Pope hoisted the drum up.

"Taking you down" Pope says.

"Okay" I say softly.

Pope soon hoists the rope down and when I finally feel my feet touching solid ground I get out of the drum.

JJ was sitting on the hot tub his feet in the lukewarm water from last night.

"John B pullin' a Houdini" JJ says flatly.

"Yeah, where is he? I have my scholarship interview tomorrow morning. We gotta get this done" Pope adds.

I turn and see John B walking towards us with an unhappy look on his face.

"Speak of the devil" I say flatly, shielding my eyes from the sun.

"Dude, I set up the entire winch to pull up the gold everything—"

"—No, he did not. I did that." Pope says speaking over JJ.

"—Hey JB." Kiara calls.

He walks into the house acting as if none of us were there.

"Uh...what's that all about?" Pope questions, looking over at JJ.

"I was gonna ask you the same question" JJ replies.
