Part 6

Y'all i'm so sorry this chapter came out so late i've been so busy lately and had only like 30 minutes of free time a day anyways hope you enjoy😘🤞

*Kiara POV*

I decided to tell the pouges before I did anything. I walked back to the château. I walked up the porch and stood there. Cleo was sitting on the couch. "What happened to you man" she said. "Wheres Pope, Sarah and John B?" I asked. "There inside" she said. "Guys come out here!" she yelled.

They all walked out and saw me covered in blood. "Kiara what the hell happened to you?!" Sarah asked in a loud but worried tone. "It's JJ" I began to tear up. "He's in the hospital. He got hurt bad. I don't what to do!" I said with tears in my eyes.

"Kiara. Do you know anything? What happened? Is he ok?" John B asked worried. "He has a concussion  a lot stitches, bruises and cuts. He didn't tell him who did it to him and he's awake right now." I said tears still in my eyes.

"Dammit JJ is in the hospital and the last thing I said to him was how we have families and he doesn't" Pope muttered.

"I was thinking we could all go see him in about twenty minutes?" I asked. They all agreed.

I walked home to change and take a shower. I walked in the door and the first thing my parents say is "Kiara where the hell were you and why are you covered in blood?!" they yelled. "Long story ill only be 10 minutes then i'm going back to the hospital." I said. "Kiara Carrera come back here!" my mom yelled. I ignored her and stormed upstairs.

*JJ POV*

Its been thirty minutes since Kie left but it feels like hours. Ironically right after her and all the pouges walked in. "Listen JJ I'm sorry about how things went down before" Pope said with guilt on his face. "Pope. Shut up its fine." I said.

"JJ what the hell happened to you" John B said while playfully hitting me in the arm. "Actually JJ who did this to you?" Kie asked in a serious tone.

"Do we half to talk about this now?" I asked. "JJ its fine take you time" Sarah replied. We were all talking and laughing. A doctor came in "Sorry to interrupt but JJ we've been looking at your x-rays and you should be all set to leave in the morning!" she exclaimed.

"JJ that's amazing!" Kie said as we all went in for a group hug. "Guys i'm heading to the vending machine, i'm getting hungry" Pope said. "I'll go with him or he'll get the worst snacks of all time you have a record of that" John B added.

"Since you guys are doing that nows a good time to head to the bathroom," Sarah said. She started walking out the door and Cleo chased after her. "Hey man wait up for me!" she yelled.

"Don't worry I won't leave you" Kiara giggled. She had the most beautiful laugh.

Within seconds she went from smiling to crying. "Hey Kie whats wrong?" I asked her "JJ I watched you almost die. And nothing in that moment mattered to me just making sure you were ok. If your heart rate would of dropped anymore you would of died. And it would have been my fault. If I would of gotten to you sooner I could of brought you here sooner. God JJ if I would of gotten to you sooner we wouldn't be in this mess!" She cried.

Her cries hurt me more then my dad hurting me or saying those terrible things to me.

"JJ please tell me what happened" she said continuing crying.

I sat up on the bed and looked her in the eye. "After I walked you home I went home. I got home to my dad standing there. The cops caught him and he went to jail but he got out early. Before I could say anything he did this to me. What hurt worse is he said things to me like no one would ever love me, if I died the world would be a better place and he would cry tears of joy. He said my mom did the right thing by leaving me. Part of me thinks that its true." I said.

A few seconds later I was in Kie's arms and we were both crying and holding each other. "JJ don't ever listen to him you are perfect. Me and the pouges love you. And we'll never stop. JJ I would die with you if you ever died. Hell in the ocean I would of if the pouges didn't come in time! None of those things he said are true and he is a sick sick person for doing this to you. Shit JJ he almost killed you" she cried in my chest.

"Hey Kie it's ok. I'm ok. Everything's ok. Everything will stay ok." I smiled at her as she wiped away her tears.

*Pope POV*

"John B what do you think should we get water, protein bars and some chips?" I asked. He tapped me on the shoulder, "see Pope this is why you need me here how about since they don't have beer we get coke. And instead of protein bars skittles and for the chips doritos-" I interrupted him "John B those are all unhealthy and JJ needs to recover" I announced.

"Pope hate to break it to you but this is JJ recover food" he said putting in a five dollar bill in the vending machine.

We both had are arms full of the food and headed to the room. Cleo and Sarah were walking back at the same time.

I walked in and saw Kiara sitting across from JJ on the bed a little to close for my standards.

"Thanks John B for getting the good stuff" Kiara and JJ said in unison then laughed.

Kiara sat on the bed with JJ and Cleo and I had our own chairs. John B sat in his own with Sarah on his lap.

We began laughing and talking. I just stared and JJ and Kiara.

"Hey Kie watch bet you I can fit this whole pack of skittles in my mouth!" he said. She giggled as he dropped most of them, "dumbass" she kept laughing.

JJ opened the soda and began chugging it and spilling it over the bed. "Wow JJ nice going you got it all over me" Kiara said sarcastically but she wasn't even mad at him. He gave her a goofy look which made her laugh.

It was like they were dating and trying to keep it a secret but not doing good enough.

"Guys it's getting pretty late I think we should go we can come back in the morning" I said annoyed.

"You guys can head out i'm gonna stay a bit longer" Kiara said. Of course she had to stay longer because she can't spend one second away from JJ. What does he have I don't? I have a future and college and I can make a living. Kiara was my first kiss but JJ fails school doesn't care about anything and has kissed half the girls in outerbanks.

We all left and I headed home. I laid awake on my bed staring at the ceiling thinking about how mad I was at JJ.

*Kiara POV*

I sat across from JJ and everything one of us said we would laugh. It got to the point to if we even looked at each other we would burst out laughing.

There was five minutes of straight laughing the a doctor came in. "Sorry to interrupt but since you are leaving in the morning I thought i'd give you the hospital bills" she said. As soon as she said that JJ's smile turned into a frown.

The nurse handed him the papers and left. "How bad is it?" I asked. He handed it to me so I could see "What the fuck why is it forty three thousand dollars!" I yelled. "I don't have any insurance and I had surgery" he said with a worried look. "Don't worry i'll figure it out don't worry about a thing" I said as I hugged him.

A different doctor came in a few minutes after. "Hello ma'am on Thursdays are visiting hours are from five am to ten pm and it's already 10:15. It is time for you to go" she told me.

"Wait no. Please can I stay- he's my best friend please let me stay!" I yelled. "Ma'am like I said you need to go" her voice getting louder.

"Please can you let me stay! I need a be here! Please!" I yelled louder. "JJ i'll be back in the morn-" I was cut off by them forcing me out the door.

I didn't want to go but I knew I had to.  I really didn't want to leave him. I just wanted to sleep there again. Next to him. Peacefully.
