While Pope was stealing gas from his dad, Kie, JJ and Iris were raiding Kie's parents restaurant. Why? For food for John B and Sarah. And Kie brought up how Pope confessed his feelings to her last night.
"Kie, you sure he just wasn't being weird Pope?"
"JJ, it wasn't really the kind of thing that needed interpretation." She said, handing food to Iris, who helped JJ pack it up, "Is that enough food for them?"
JJ glanced at Iris, "Probably for a couple of weeks and that's all they need, so, yeah."
"Guys, can I be honest?"
"Sure." Iris replied as Kie sighed.
"I think I actually hurt his feelings. Pope."
"Kie, don't beat yourself up too much. He's completely changed his feels." JJ said, grabbing the box and heading outside with Kie and Iris behind him, "The past 24 hours have been like Jekyll and Hyde."
"I hate to admit it but I miss the old Pope. At least I knew what to expect from him." She admitted as her parents came storming over to them, making Iris widen her eyes.
"Where you been?"
"Um, I'm fine. I slept here. Well, we slept here." Kie said, glancing back at the building.
"Well, we were up half the night, scared to death, looking for you. Were you even gonna tell us?" Her mom yelled.
JJ and Iris shared a glance.
And JJ thought, fuck, at least her parents care enough to look for her.
"Well, I'm telling you right now."
"Alright, what the hell are you guys up to? You haven't wanted to hang out with Iris since ninth grade, and even then, you two never got along. What the hell is going on? Huh?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Anna, but we gotta go." JJ said as he shut the trunk.
"Sorry." Kie muttered.
"No, absolutely not. Have you heard what's going on out there?" Anna asked, following Kie to the drivers side door.
"Mom, I'll explain later." Kie opened the door.
"Have you seen the storm coming in? This is not safe."
"I'm sorry mom, I have to go." She replied as JJ and Iris got into the car and kept quiet.
"These cops are armed, Kiara. One of you is going to get shot. I am not letting you do this!"
"Mom, John B needs me!"
"You need to stay here."
"I understand but I'll be careful." Kie slammed the door as her mom kept yelling after them as they drove off.
Iris watched as JJ took Kie's hand in his, but she immediately pushed him off.
"JJ, I'm fine."
"Right, yeah, sorry." He dropped his head as they continued to drive to the Cut.
Kie pulled up to JJ's house as he sighed.
"Home sweet home."
"Do you want me to come?" Kie asked and he shook his head.
"No."
"JJ, are you sure? We can both come." Iris said, putting a hand on his shoulder from behind as he briefly glanced back at her.
"It'll only take a second." He said as he got out of the vehicle and disappeared inside.
"We should've went in with him." Iris said as she peeled her eyes from the house, looking back at Kie.
