Broken promises ~ JJ Maybank ~ Sequel to Promises

Chapter nineteen ~ Police Station

~JJ's POV~

I walk in the cell to see John b sitting down at a table, I go and sit in front of him and sigh.

We look up at eachother and burst into laughter.

Jj: I thought it was gonna be me.

Jb: I did too. welcome to my humble abode.

Jj: when you said you had a new apartment, I had no idea.

Jb: yeah it's uh...

Jj: it's cozy

Jb: u guess you could say that

Jj: a little aluminium theme.

Jb: yeah I like to go for cold, dark...

Jj: alone kinda theme.

Jb: depressing...

Jj: yeah yeah.

I say sarcastically, I felt good to laugh with him.

Jj: look I would love to sit and chit chat but I'm on the clock. And I'm here for one reason only, okay?

Jb: to tell me why you told keira you love her?

He joked and smiled at me. I gritted my teeth and rolled my eyes. I kinda thought since no one had brought it up, we all moved past it.

Jb: is it true?

Jj: shut up man. Let's talk about Operation Liberation baby.

Jb: oh boy here we go.

Jj: I know I know, here me out though. Step one piss of the cops so badly they don't see what's coming.

I send a peace sign to the cop as he walks past.

J: check, step two at exactly 11pm this evening, your gonna have an attack of acute appendicitis.

Jb: do you even know what appendicitis is?

Jj: yeah. Remember eighth grade algebra final?

Jb: Jesus christ

Jj: worked like a charm.

Jb: you even made keira fall for it, she took care of you all night.

He smirked at me. My mind took me back to that night in eighth grade, we were only 14 years old. Keira had made sure I stayed at hers that night so I didn't go home to my dad. I liked playing sick with her, she always took care of me.
I laid on her bed and she had a wet towel on my head, I was sweating cause she had just hit puberty and she was beautiful before but wow she was hot now. She sat next to me and kept stroking my hair and playing with my rings. Even to this day she loves playing with rings. She stayed awake all night to make sure I was okay when in reality I was fine. The next morning I work up and she was so tired. I told her to sleep and till the early afternoon she was asleep on my chest, best 6 hours of my life.

Jb: hey, we haven't got long.

I snap back to reality and continue my plan. I tel him about how to fake the appendicitis and how I will get him out.

Jb: you know you've gone crazy.

Jj: you think you have any other way out of this?

Jb: does anyone else know about this plan?

I shook my head.

Jj: popes at his dads, Kiaras at home, Sarah's talking to Wheezie-

Jb: and keira?

Jj: quiet.

I looked down at my ring. The one she plays with all the time. The one she bought me when I wanted to steal it. It hurt inside, the feeling of us drifting apart. I need her back. I just don't know how to do it, so much has happened.

Jb: check up on her.

Jj: she hates me.

Jb: your her bestfriend

Jj: so are you!

Jb: you think I can go help her?... she's hurting, and I think there's more going on then she's telling us. It started of the three of us, we made a promise to not leave eachother behind.

Jj: well apparently im not good at keeping promises.

Jb: what happened to you two?

What didn't happen to us two.

Jj: it's nothing

It's everything.

Pl: times up.

Plumb walks in and I leave. We walk past all the cells and I look to my right and see my dad out in the yard. I knock on the door and shout his name.

Jj: dad. Dad!

Pl: let's go

She pulls me back and forces me to carry on walking.

Jj: I see what you did there plumb.

She pushes me outside after I get my things.

Pl: you'll be back here one day. It's in your blood.

I put my hat on and walk to my motorcycle. She's right.
