Broken promises ~ JJ Maybank ~ Sequel to Promises

Chapter twenty-one ~ "She's Never Fine"

~JJ's POV~

I panted heavily as I hopped into Kiaras car.

Ki: I'm seriously not even gonna ask.

Jj: look I busted the wrong guy out of jail, sue me.

Kiara glared at me.

Ki: what!

Jj: at least I was trying.

Ki: why are you always doing such stupid shit.

Jj: well I'm gonna end up in jail anyway so... so why does it matter.

Officer plum was right, of course I'll end up back there.

P: you okay man?

Jj: yeah.

P: it's okay if your not. John b's in jail. Keiras not talking to you.

Ki: we get it.

Jj: you don't get it.

Ki: Jj-

Jj: I told her all that stuff and it was like she forgot who I was. And I couldn't talk to John b about it cause he's gone.

P: he's not gone.

My breathing soon started to steady. After a minute silence I spoke up.

Jj: where is keira anyway?

Ki: erm... I don't actually know

She looked at pope.

P: I was with her earlier but not seen her since.

I fell silent. Oh god. Where is she? She could be anyway. What if she's hurt? What if she's alone? What is she went home? What if-

P: we'll look for her in the morning. She's probably fine.

She's not fine. She's never fine.

~Keira's POV~

I lay on toppers boat with a blanket wrapped around me. I open my eyes and see him starting at me.

K: jeez top.

T: sorry, I was just worried.

K: I know, I'm sorry-

T: you don't have to be sorry. I just have a lot of questions.

K: erm yeah sure.

I sit up and wince in pain from my stomach.

T: what the hells been going on? Mom and dad have been arguing. Dads gone somewhere. He said mom shouldnt have done that to you and just left. What did she do?

I smiled at the fact that my dad stuck up for me.

K: she kicked me out. We had a massive argument like usually and told me to go live like a pogue.

T: shit, it'll be fine I'll get you back in-

K: I don't wanna be back in. Top,

I take his hand.

K: you know I love you. But I can't stay at that house. It's your home. It's not mine. My home is with the pogues.

T: I understand. Erm, what happened to you, you were in pain and I don't no why?

K: Rafe shot me. He shot up into a tree looking for John b and Sarah and he shot me.

T: that son of a bitch.

K: yeah he is.

T: and last night?

K: I told him I didn't love him. And that I love someone else-

T: Jj?

K: why does everyone think that?

T: it's obvious. It's been obvious even before you and Rafe became a thing.

K: oh.

T: where you wanna go?

K: erm can you take me to the cut? To John bs old place.

T: yeah. I'll take you home.

He smiled at me and stood up walking over to the wheel.

After a while we were there, I got off the boat and told topper I'll come see him soon.
