What happens when a girl who's scared to fall in love finds her long lost brother & falls into a love triangle? Will she end up on their goose chase to find 400 million dollars in gold? Who will she befriend? Will her brother remember her? Will his...
I sat inside on John B's pull out couch. The place we've all slept at least once. Jasmine now added to the list. Big John would always bring John B's pillows & blanket onto the pullout couch when we stayed the night & we all cuddled up together. Without him here everything just feels different. John B's been getting staked out by DCS & we don't have a good father figure who understands besides Heyward.
I set Jasmine's phone & bag on the side table & now I was sitting on the couch with Jasmine's head in my lap. The boys were outside looking at what Jasmine found in the wreck. She was laid on her side & her breathing seemed to be regulating again as I stroked my fingers through her hair analyzing her features again. Watching the way her chest rose & fell with every breath & the way her eyes slightly twitched.
She didn't get shot, it just grazed her side, which caused her to freak & pass out. When we got back to the Chateau Jj carried her inside & sat her on the pull out with me in tow. I told him to just got back outside & I would patch Jasmine up & stay with her. He hesitated for a second before going out back towards the boys.
I heard footsteps on the porch, assuming it was the boys. Jasmine started to stir bringing me out of whatever daze I was in. She rubbed her eyes before letting her hand fall back to my knee. I leaned forward to see if she was awake, which she was but she was just staring out into space so I didn't say anything. I felt something on my knee & looked to see her rubbing small shapes on my knee with her thumb.
I continued to run my hands through her hair. Her hair was soft & smooth. There were a few tangles in it mainly from her getting into the water & the wind from the boat.
Our moment was short lived when she suddenly sat up ran her fingers through her hair. She rubbed her eyes before looking at me & smiling her famous smile. Her smile was adorable. It shines. She's perfect in every way but that smile has got to be what catches me every single time.
We made eye contact. Her lips slightly parting. She looked towards my lips then back to my eyes & I mirrored her actions. I could've sworn we were both starting to lean in when the screen door flew open & laughter bursted inside.
"Hey y'all." Jj says furrowing his eyebrows before his face drops & he runs to Jasmine. "Don't scare me like that you asshole. I thought I was gonna lose you." He said tightening the hug.
"I've been through worse. I'm okay J. Thanks for caring though." She slightly chuckled.
"Me? Caring about you? Pfft, never." Jj said dragging out the word never & pushing her shoulder. I couldn't help but smile at the two. They were just alike & I was glad they found each other again.
"I was just grabbing some beers. We're gonna go chill outside." Jj said letting go of Jasmine before turning towards the fridge. "Y'all wanna come?" He asked looking over his shoulder at us with a case of beer in his hand.
We both agreed before grabbing our phones & starting our way outside to the boys where we spent at least four hours just drinking & laughing.
~~~~~~~~ Jasmine POV:
We finally got the boys to stop drinking & go inside. Jj & Pope passed out on then couch seconds after walking in & John B just sat on the floor staring at the wall. We were now at Kie's because of a text I received from Rafe back at the Chateau. He said he was throwing a party at his house later tonight. No details. Just a simple. "Party tonight. My house."
"Will you please come with me?" I begged Kie, setting down the mascara & spinning in my chair to face her. She agreed to help me get ready & drive me, but refused to go with me.
"No Jasmine. I already told you I don't associate with the kooks." Her voice was firm. Like a mother telling her children to stop for the last time. I decided to leave it at that & just finish getting ready for the party.

Kie just dropped me off & I honestly didn't think Rafe's house would be this big. I mean sure he's a stuck up rich asshole who seems to have everything handed to him but still. This house was ginormous.
I started walking towards the house & saw a bunch of other girls headed towards the back yard, in mixed clothing. Some had on dresses & some had on shorts with crop tops. I followed them since that was likely where everybody was. I also didn't want to ask anyone & look stupid. I was still confused on why Rafe would invite me after he sent me that text this morning. Lord is this boy bipolar.
When I reached the back of the house I saw what looked like every kid on the island walking around, talking, swimming, or getting drunk off their ass. I looked around trying to spot the drinks or find somebody who looked like I could start a conversation with. When I couldn't find either, I saw a guy walking away from a friend in my direction so I walked over towards him.
"Hey. Would you know where the drinks are by any chance?" I asked him smiling up at him. Why does every guy on this island have to be a whole 6 foot tall.
He checked me out before responding & it kind of grossed me out. "Yeah, they're over here. C'mon." He said smirking & resting his hand on my lower back. He took me inside & to the kitchen where I saw every kind of alcohol you could ever want. There was wine, beer, liquor. Literally anything that had alcohol in it was sitting on this table.
He led me over to the island before finally dropping his hand. While he was doing whatever he was doing I started to look around. The kitchen was just as nice as the outside of the house. How rich can one family be?
"Here you go." The guy said turning towards me with two drinks in his hand. The one in his left kept close to him & the one in the right reached out towards me. I smiled before grabbing the cup from him & taking a sip.
I furrowed my eyebrows, pulling the cup away from my face & looking down into it. "What is this?" I asked looking up to the guy.
"Oh it's just regular beer. I didn't know what you liked so I figured you could never go wrong with a simple beer." He explained rubbing the back of his neck and avoiding eye contact at all costs. I furrowed my eyebrows for a second but let it go over my shoulder. I was probably just overthinking all of this.
As I was about to take the last few sips of the drink I finally realized it didn't taste like beer. It had a weird flavor to it almost like something was put in it & I started getting dizzy. This asshole just spiked my drink.
"Did you fucking spike my drink?" I yelled at the guy, throwing the rest of the drink in his face. What the fuck is wrong with this island. So much shit has happened & it hasn't even been a week. I saw Rafe walking into the kitchen probably from all of the commotion. Everybody was standing around us as staring, jaws dropped. Everything happened so fast.
I started getting very dizzy & felt as though I was going to pass out. I felt a sting on the right side of my face & before I could even comprehend what happened the guy was on the floor with Rafe on top of him, beating the shit out of him. I wanted to interfere & break the fight up since it seemed that nobody else was, but everything turned into colorful dots before I felt a hit to the back of my head & everything went black.
