What even is love? - Jiara

Part 1

*Kiara POV*

It was nice. The pouges were pouges. All together just like in the summer and now we even have Cleo. We were all sitting by the fire roasting fish.

I glance over only to see JJ touching his head in pain. Then I realized even though were all together were trapped on an island away from my family and JJ almost died. Died. A powerful word. JJ could have died. As in being gone forever. I couldn't help to think that the last thing he would've done was to save me and I couldn't of saved him.

"Hey Kie you good?" he asked calmly. I nodded and just stayed silent.

*JJ POV*

I could tell something was up with Kiara. It made me  upset that I didn't know what was wrong. She just sat there. Didn't talk to anyone. Didn't move. Just stayed still.

I didn't even know how to help her she stayed silent when everyone else was talking and laughing with each other.

I just stared at my feet, bored, not knowing what to do. Thankfully Pope finally chipped in "Guys I think we should all head to bed so we can get an early start on tomorrow. We need to explore this place and look for food." We all agreed and all slept under a big palm tree. It was the best we had, we planned to make a hut over the next few days.

*Kiara POV*

I just sat up against one side of the palm tree next to Cleo and Sarah. The boys were on the other side. I couldn't sleep. I tried to but couldn't. Every time I shut my eyes I got flashbacks. Baby, you wanna live like a pouge. Let me show you whats that like. Go live like a freaking pouge. Get your butt out of my house! Flash. Kie! Flash. JJ! Flash. J!-Jage! Please stay with me come on. Flash.

I carefully got up trying not to wake anyone up and walked towards the water. I sat down on a rock and just stared at the dark water.

Everything thing was black. The waves crashing against rocks canceling out the birds chirps.

*JJ POV*

I was laying down on the smooth sand. I couldn't sleep. I didn't know why. Nothing was bothering me except I couldn't bare to know Kie was upset and she wouldn't tell anyone.

I got up and decided to see if anyone else was awake. I looked on the other side of the giant hard swaying palm tree and Kie was gone.

I looked straight ahead at the forest and didn't see any sign of anyone. I was about to wake everyone up until I saw a her. Sitting on a rock with her curls flowing in the wind.

She looked sad. She was sitting by the ocean with her head buried in her knees. I walked over to her and lightly tapped her shoulder. "hey", I said. "JJ?" she asked shivering. It broke my heart that she was cold so I gave her my navy blue drawstring hoodie. "thank you" she said.

She looked up at me and had big puffy red eyes. "Kie whats wrong you can't hide it now I can tell you've been crying so just please tell me you can always talk to me", I said a little more aggressively.

"JJ what do you wand to me to say 'Im perfectly fine after today and today turned out to be a perfect day,' "she said annoyed. "JJ HOW THE FUCK CAN I KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE! YOU ALMOST DIED. YOU. YOUR MY BEST FRIEND. THE LAST THING YOU WOULD'VE DONE IS SAVE ME. HOW WOULD I DEAL WITH THAT GUILT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE IF YOU JUST DIDN'T SURVIVE" Kie exclaimed now starting to cry.

"Kiara. I am ok. If it weren't for you I would've died. You saved me. Besides Kie, I had to save you, your you. You have people that love you and a family who loves you and there probably worried about you and looking for you." I said softly reassuring her.

I hugged her and with no hesitation she hugged me back. I felt loved for the first time. Theres just something about her that makes me never wanna lose her. Never wanna be apart from her. That makes me care in away I never knew possible.

*Kiara POV*

I hugged JJ tightly. He rubbed my back and said "hey its ok" and with that I bursted into tears, crying into his chest. He held me tighter and I felt safe. Like nothing could go wrong because he was here, holding me right by my side.

It was getting later in the night and I was laying next to JJ. He was already asleep. Although I couldn't be surprised it was late. I decided to go to bed. "thank you J" I said softly. I kissed him on the cheek and fell asleep.

*JJ POV*

I couldn't believe what just happened. Kiara Carrera just kissed me. It was only on the cheek and she thought I was asleep but still. I felt something. Something like never before. I felt a weird felling in my stomach.

I laid down just admiring her. Shit JJ it's just Kie. Why are you felling this way you've known her for years! I didn't know anything. Why I was felling like this? What changed? Have I always felt like this? I kept rambling on in my thoughts.

I could stay up for hours just watching Kie sleep but I knew Pope would get all mad if I wasn't up in the morning ready to explore the island and look for supplies and whatever. So I shut my eyes taking one last look and the beautiful girl next to me and shut my eyes. I was gonna try my hardest to go to sleep but every time I shut my eyes all I could see was her.
