Part Six

(I re-edited this story. Also sorry that this story isn't the best. It's one of my first two😅I'm trying to improve on my other stories. So if you don't enjoy this one go check out another one of mine.~𝓐 🤍)

Jo's POV.

I've been here for three months now. Rafe has tried getting with me but I just ignore him when he says he misses me, probably just wants to play me again but I've been hanging out with the Pogues and Topper. Me and Topper haven't had sex in a while but that's okay. We just hang out and go on dates. We watch movies and cuddle. We're all sitting on the dock drinking a beer.

"So Jo, are you guys getting serious?"

Kie asks. I look at Topper and he looks at me and he smiles.

'Yes we are.'
"I'm happy for you."
'Thanks Sarah.'

We hear someone coming and we see it's Rafe.

"The hell are you doing here?"

JJ says standing up.

"Jo we need to talk."
'Then talk.'

I cross my arms.

"Alone? Please!"
'Fine. I'll be back guys.'

I get up and follow him away from everyone.

'Talk.'

I say crossing my arms.

"Okay well um I know it was only a bet but I miss you. And I actually do, like you."
'Well good for you Rafe but no thanks. Is that all?'

I say unfolding my arms.

"You and Topper didn't really fuck did you?"
'Yes, we did.'
"Oh! Uh see you around I guess. Bye Josie."
'Bye'

I act like I don't care but god damn I still have hella feelings for him. But I don't know what to do. Topper is a really nice guy but I just feel so different around Rafe and I love that. But if I go back it'll probably all just turn out bad. So I just hold all the feelings in. Me and Topper sat on the edge of the deck. JJ hands me a blunt.

'Thanks J.'
"Thought you needed it."

He smiles. I smile back.

'Yeah always.'

I hit it and I hold it in and hit it three more times and then inhale and exhale a lot of smoke comes out of my mouth.

"Damn take it easy."
'I've probably been smoking a lot longer than you have. I know what I'm doing.'

I hand him back the blunt and take a sip of my beer. Everyone is looking at me.

'Why are yall looking at me?'
"Curious, how long have you been smoking?"

JJ smiles.

'I was maybe ten when I had my first ever joint. But I started smoking heavily when I was twelve.'
"Damn."

Topper says.
