Bullshit

" No effing way! You brought her here? So what? She's in on this now?" Kie paced back and forth with Ari by her side. They were now all back at the Chateau. Ari couldn't believe that John B brought her here.

" How could you John B! How could you bring her here! What the fuck is wrong with you?" Ari snapped running a hand through her hair. JJ tried to grab her to calm her down but she gently pushed his hands away pacing back and forth just like Kie. Okay she did really care about Sarah and John B being together.

John B didn't respond instead looked at the two boys for help. They all just shrugged not knowing what to do. They both did not want to be on the two girls bad sides.

" Look, all I care about is her cut comes out of your share." JJ informs pointing at John B.

" You know, I don't remember taking a vote. This our thing. A Pogue thing. How could you just add her all into the mix like that." Ari stood in front of John B glaring. John B doesn't meet her eyes, looking at the floor guiltily. Kie walked to her grabbing her hand in hers and pulling her back.

" I gotta say, I'm just a tad uncomfortable with all this." Pope pipes in awkwardly.

" When are you not uncomfortable?" John B snaps back.

" I dunno. I rode here on the back of JJ's bike pretty comfortably." Pope argues.

" It's true. Most relaxed I've ever seen him." JJ nods.

" That's cute guys." John B comments tilting his head a bit. Ari rolled her eyes letting go of Kie's hand and walking to her boyfriend sitting in his lap laying her head on his chest.

" Now you want me to hold you?" JJ whispers with a smile. Ari just kissed his neck and turned to look at the other's.

" You know we were all extremely comfortable until you brought her." Kie says making Ari hum in agreement.

" Stop talking about me like I'm not here!" Sarah says harshly to Kie.

" Then leave." Both Kie and Ari say together.

Sarah scoffs slightly hurt by her sister. " I told you."

" Told him what, exactly?" Kie asks.

" That you're a shit-talking bitch." Sarah replies. Ari gets up from JJ's lap walking in front of Kie.

Instead of stopping the blonde girl, JJ and Pope start making bets.

" Watch your mouth. Just because your sleeping with John B doesn't mean you can get all disrespectful. What is he? like you 3rd boyfriend in one month." Ari snaps roughly. " Face it Sarah, your the only bitch here."

Sarah sits back quietly not daring to say another word. Sarah didn't know what to say back. So instead she went to arguing back with Kie.

" Everybody shut up!" John B shouts. Everyone becomes quite. " Kie, you are my best friend, right? And Ari your my sister, blood or not. And Sarah, you're....you're my..."

" Say it." Sarah urges in a soft voice.

" You're my girlfriend." John B mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear.

" Ohh...that's new." Pope grumbles.

" And now she's your girlfriend?!" Kie asks.

" Yeah John B. What was all that talk about you were just using poor Sarah for information? You know get the map, cut her loose." Ari recalled talking in a baby/taunting tone.

Sarah took a moment to process her sisters words. Tears pooled at her eyes as she glanced at John B. " You said you were using me?"

" No." John B instantly lies.

" Yeah, you did." The other three Pogues corrected.

" Look, love just walked in, okay?" John B raised his voice a bit. Ari glanced at JJ catching his eye. JJ sends her a big smile hoping to help her in someway. Ari feels her stomach flutter. She sends him a soft small smile back.

" Vomit." Kie gags.

" I didn't expect it. It just—it just kind of happened. And I'm not gonna deny it. Right?"John B adds.

" Oh! that's corny." Pope whispers fake gagging.

" Look, cut the bullshit, John B. If she's in I'm out." Kie informs.

" Me too. I'm not doing this without my best girl." Ari pipes up pecking JJ's lips and walking next to Kie linking their arms.

" Ari, Kie. I'm not doing this. I can't!" John B protests.

" You are gonna decided. I think we're very interested actually. Us or her?" Kie urges.

" All three of you." John B shrugs.

JJ whistles. " Your so fucking stupid, man."

" After everything John B..." Ari trails off. Kie pulls in the girls arm. Ari glanced at her boyfriend sending him a look before letting Kie pull her away.

Ariella couldn't believe John B. How could he even fall in love with her after everything. But that left a thought in her mind.

" Corpses cry too, you know." Pope spoke as he sat in between both girls as they sat on the dock.

" Well, they secrete fluid from their eyes." Pope adds.

" Maybe not compare our feeling to secretions." Kie chuckles sadly. Ari smiles slightly wiping her tears.

" Technically it's discharge." Pope corrects. Ari feels a tap on her shoulder. She looks up and sees JJ standing there. He holds his hand out for her, but she hesitates looking back at Kie. The girl nods and motions for her to
go. Ari smiles a bit and takes her boyfriends hand as he pulled her up the dock away from
their best friends.

After a couple minutes the couple stood looking at the sun as it set, waves in the background.

" You okay, baby?" JJ breaks the silence turning to her as she still looked at the sun, her eyes water. That question just had to be the one to break her.

" How could he? How could he see past everything she did to me! She stood there and watched me get mentally abused. She sided with him. I was so close to wanting to take my own life, JJ. How could I ever forgive that?" Ari sobbed turning to the blonde, who instantly brought her into his chest running a hand through her hair.

" That's not something you can ever forgive. Not at all. You just need to show her who's boss. John B is fucking stupid and I let him have it, but we both know we can't stop them from falling in love." JJ said calmly kissing her forehead.

" I know and that's what hurts. How can I see her happy knowing all of this and deep down still scarred for life." Ari said through her small sobs.

JJ took her face in his hand softly. " No matter what you always have me. I don't if it's enough but while i'm here no one is hurting you. Not anymore."

" That is all I can ever ask for. It's more than enough. Your more than enough, my love." Ari calmed down as JJ wiped her tears away.

" I love you." JJ whispered looking into her beautiful blue eyes that were slightly red due to crying.

" I love you more." Ari whispered back letting JJ bring her into a softly but passionate kiss.

As they pulled away JJ says. " But maybe you should talk to her. It's better to confront it."

" No." Ari shook her head.

" For meeee?" JJ pouted.

" Now how can I say no to that." Ari sighed.

" Yesss!" JJ smiled proudly. Ari chuckled to herself as JJ wrapped an arm around her waist as they looked at the beautiful beach in front of them.

He made me happy. He was my lifeline.
