Broken promises ~ JJ Maybank ~ Sequel to Promises

Chapter eleven ~ Homecoming

~Morning~

After a long trip back to outer banks our stomachs started rumbling.

Jj: anyone else starving? We need to grab some sort of breakfast.

S: We're going to find some food

Us girls went searching and were definitely luckier them the boys.

Ki: Jackpot!

Kiara had found a watermelon. The three of us sat down and started eating, well they did.

S: Keira here,

She hands me some watermelon.

K: oh I'm fine.

Kiara looked at me weirdly.

K: what?

Ki: eat.

K: I'm not hungry

Ki: well you haven't ate for what I know to be 48 hours. I'm pretty sure it's longer.

K: I swear I'm fine.

S: keeks, you've got to eat.

Ki: I've saw you go down this rout before, it wasn't good for you then and it's not now. Tell me when's the last time you had a fun meal.

I looked down at the watermelon in my hand and remembered the last time I ate was when Topper forced me to have some of the pasta he made to test if it was poisoned. Yet that was 10 days ago.

K: I'm fine, Topper made me dinner

S: He doesn't cook. And since when were you guys okay?

K: oh yeah after you guys "died" we became closer-

Ki: nope, you don't get to change the subject.

S: when did Topper cook you food.

I waited a minute before responding.

K: 9 or 10 days ago.

They both looked so disappointed in me. But all I could think about was that I didn't want the boys to know. The last time this happened I was staying at John bs and he wouldn't let me miss meal. And then there was Jj who was round John bs everyday just to make sure I was okay. He had to same routine of checking my arms and thighs then getting me food. I hated the smothering.

K: please don't tell the boys

S: why not?

K: Because last time this happened they smothered me, I hated it

Ki: Then stop doing this to yourself.

K: It's not that easy!

Sarah came next to me and hugged me.

S: We won't tell the boys if you promised to let us help you

They knew how much I hated help, I always wanted to me independent.

K: fine

I say reluctantly.

K: anyway so you and John B got married?

S: it wasn't exactly legal but... yeah. Now am I crazy or is that definitely something going on between you and Pope?

K: oh there is.

Ki: maybe

S: That's not a no

Ki: It's not a no
