Her Light • Kiara Carrera

🐢03🐢

So, that's my crew. And that's me, John Booker Routledge. And this is where I live. An old fish shack on the marsh. The Château, as my dad used to call it. There's Dad. He disappeared at sea nine months ago, looking for a shipwreck. Who disappears at sea these days? I miss him. And then there's Mom. She split when I was three. Last I heard, she was in Colorado. I think it was Colorado. That's Uncle T. Since Dad's vanished, he's supposedly my legal guardian. At the moment, he's in Mississippi, building houses... which means it's just me right now, on my own, hangin' out with my friends. Three months after my dad was missing, he was officially presumed dead. I refused to sign the papers. Until I see a body, I'm not giving up.

Instead of being smart and staying over at the Carrera's before a hurricane Ash went surfing with John B and Pope "Those aren't surfable waves, bro." Pope said looking between the two "Says who?" Ash yelled as she took off to the ocean John B smiled hitting his arm before running after Asher after a bit of surfing Asher and John B squinted seeing a boat from afar they shared a look and brushed it off their shoulders surfing a little bit longer till the hurricane got worse then they headed back instead of going to the chateau Asher went to Kiara's

She climbed up the tree next to her window she reached over opening the window up scaring Kie she grabbed the bat out of Asher's backpack that she had left on the last day of school "Jesus!" Ash said as Kie almost swung the bat at her "What are you doing here? I could of hurt you! My parents are gonna kill you!" she said making her chuckle as she turned around to close the window

That's why I came through your window she said she sighed "Come on" she said grabbing her hand dragging her to her closet pulling out some of her clothes that she left she handed her a pair of her basketball shorts and one of her Tupac shirts "Thanks babe" she said quietly kissing her cheek before going to her bathroom she sat her clothes down freezing as the power went out

Babe! Kie whispered "I'm right here" she whispered grabbing her hand scaring her a little "Hold on" she whispered letting her hand go walking to her bag she had been in the house thousands of times she knew it like that back of her hand she opened up the small parts of her bag pulling out her lighter

She held up her lighter giving them some light Kie grabbed her phone turning her flashlight on Asher went into her bathroom lighting some of her candles setting them through out her room and bathroom in places they can't and wont burn something "Wanna shower?" Asher whispered

Of course that's the first thing that comes to your mind Kie whispered setting her phone down "Is that a yes" she asked making Kie roll her eyes "Duh" Kie said smiling the two shared a quiet laugh before going into the bathroom stripping from their clothes getting in the shower after they were done they got dried off and put their pajamas on

As Kie got under the blankets getting comfy she waited as Asher blew out the candles since she was to scared to she got into bed getting under the blankets as well and Kie cuddled up to her "Love you, princess" Asher whispered "Love you too, baby" Kie mumbled falling asleep Asher smiled kissing the top of her head and played with her hair as she slowly fell asleep
