falling deep- JJ Maybank

Untitled Part 25

People say losing people makes you stronger, they say it changes you because you have seen every day isn't promised. I wanna sit here and confidently say im gonna change for the best, that my mum will be sat in the clouds right now being proud. But all I feel is dead.

Here I am sat on my dressing table chair staring at my own tiered reflection while Kie gently braids my hair. I agreed to leave the house today because I feel like all I need is fresh air in a clear time of distraught. Kie picked me out an outfit, a pair of black denim shorts along with a green and blue shirt. I loved this shirt, it was a tie dye pattern and tied up into a crop top. It remined me of my mums eyes.

I decided to let Kie do her magic with my makeup, I know I needed it. She only did some mascara and gloss and of course some gold highlight in my inner corners. She swears to god my eyebrows are perfect and that made me smile a little.

''Kie,'' I randomly bursted out, she looked up from doing one of my braids with a sweet smile.

''Yeah,'' She replied carrying on with my hair.

''Your my best friend and I just need to thank you,'' She tied the end of my braid and looked at me dead in the mirror.

''You don't need to thank me Ari your my sister I would do anything to help you,'' She wrapped her arms around me and put her head on my shoulder both of us looking in the mirror.

''You look hot,'' She smirked.

''Thanks you too boo boo,''

I was sat in the back of the twinkie with JJ and Pope, the dark skinned boy far too distracted in his text book to even hear mine and JJ's conversation. My head laid perfectly on JJ's chest as he drew circles on my thighs.

''You know you don't have to do this if you aren't ready to,'' He whispered in my ear, I forgot how much that made me feel special.

''I know but I need to get out and get a distraction,''

''Okay but the minute you wanna leave we can I promise,'' I just simply smiled up at him with a cheesy grin. I linked our hands together and for the rest of the ride we spoke about what movie we wanted to watch later.

Suddenly we came to a stop and I slowly lifted my head from JJs chest looking out of the window. A huge house was surrounded by tall walls and overgrown greenery. The place had an eerie feeling just one Ari couldn't pin point her finger on. She looked over to Pope and could see the boys bottom lip visibly trembling.

She tried hard to contain her laughter, '' Are you scared,'' She whispered to him while cocking and eyebrow in a joking manner. He narrowed his eyes into a scowl ,''Nope,''

She snorted before joining JJ and jumping out of the van, almost immidiately JJ grabbed her hand interlocking there fingers. John B silently and discreetly smiled at the sight. He was overprotective of Ari to say the least but seeing her happy especially at a time like this was some what relieving.

They all walked into the property, JJ and Ari not letting each other go.

Aria hadn't covered her scars today, she didn't feel the need too. All the pouge's noticed them especially JJ but they were on strict orders by Kiara not to mention it.
They knew the truth they heard her mother admit it, however a part of the boys wished it was all a dream.

''You guys know who's house this is right?'' Kie asked, Kie and I lead the way JJ standing behind us at all times.

''Honestly I don't really believe the stories of this place,'' My brother spoke up, instantly being hushed by Pope. JJ crept up to me and Kie putting a hand on either one of our shoulders.
