"Where the fuck were you?" Sarah said to Ivy after she had rejoined the rest of the group at midsummers.

Ivy and JJ had established that he should just keep out of sight for a while. So he's currently just chilling in the room still. Well, Ivy assumed he was. She didn't actually know if he decided to stay, knowing he'd get his ass caught eventually.

"Well, I found JJ. Your brother was trying to chase him around. For what reason, we will never know. "

Rafe was an asshole, but Ivy felt it was just wrong to say that to his sister. Like when you're talking shit about your mum and your friend agrees, like no, you can't talk about my mum like that.

"Kiara's looking at me," Sarah added, singling to the girl with a nod of her head. Kiara was indeed looking at the two, eyes in slits and nostrils flared. Something then caught the girls' attention. It caught Sarah and Ivy's too. Someone was yelling from outside.

Looking through the crowd of people, Ivy tried to spot where the voice was coming from. She wasn't surprised when she saw JJ in the arms of a security guard. She couldn't hear what he was saying, but he was talking to an old man before downing said man's drinks.

Ivy rubbed the bridge of her nose and shook her head. Oh, JJ

"It's okay, everybody, don't worry." He shouted, throwing his arms up in the air. What a way to draw attention to yourself, you idiot. "Let's leave it to the men and women in uniform. Let's hear it for them."JJ began to clap as he made his way further into the crowd, which was now all looking at him.

"Rose!, you look like lady liberty," JJ told her, Ivy snickered but caught Rose looking at her as she did. She wiped it off with a little cough and smiled at Rose.

JJ made his way past Ivy and sent her a smirk followed by a wink. It made her blush just a little bit.

"Let go of him," Kiara voiced from behind. "You can't just boot him!"

"Excuse me. Ma'am," the security guard said while still attached to JJ's arm. lucky.

"I invited him here. I'm a member of this club."

"yeah he can walk himself dickhead" Ivy muttered, making sure only the security guard heard. He turned to look at her, but Ivy was only looking at JJ's face. He looked almost proud of her. It was with that same smile when he suddenly pushed the guard backwards, resulting in him crashing into other people, which caused glasses to fall and break on the floor. He called out to Pope and Kiara as he started to make his way further back to the beach.

Ivy heard people muttering things behind her like, "What a disgrace", "should've stayed on the cut", and "no wonder Luke hit him". That one almost made Ivy turn around and punch whoever said it.

Ivy watched John B, who had come out of nowhere JJ, and Pope unite, running away from midsummers. Kiara then rushed past Ivy and made her way to JJ. When she reached him, he picked her up and span her around.

Ivy felt her stomach drop as she watched JJ's arms warp around Kiara. Ivy didn't ignore the fact she was jealous. That should have been her in his arms, not Kiara. She looked away from the two and noticed Sarah staring at the group.

At that moment, all both girls wanted was to run away with them, but they knew they couldn't.

"It's okay, Sarah," Ivy whispered while she grabbed the girl's hand. "Remember, you'll see John B later; we just have to wait a little longer."

"I know, I just wish I was able to run away from all this"

"Me too." Ivy gave the girl a weak smile and Sarah returned one, pressing her forehead against Ivy's.
