Jiara - oneshots - part 1

story 54

JJ's POV:

We have been on the island for a week or so now. John B and Pope have been giving me shit because they think Kie likes me which I know wouldn't ever happen again.

Kie's POV:

We were sitting around the fire talking about our secrets and things we regret or wish we could change.

"You've never told us, why did you leave us for the kooks for that year?" John B asked

I wasn't expecting this question. I looked at JJ across the fire and he looked down and I knew I had to lie. So I simply said, "I just needed some time away from the pogue life"

"We all know that's a lie, tell them why you really left" JJ said speaking up

"That is the reason why" I said trying to change the subject

"Bullshit, you know it. Since you won't tell them, I will."

"JJ..." I said trying to shut him up but everyone was looking at him wanting him to spill the tea

"Kie and I dated in eighth grade... Nine whole months. Best nine months of my life. Until I fucked it up. I hurt her, that's why she had her kook year. It's all because of me"

"You two dated? You mean you kissed JJ before me?" Pope asked jealously

JJ chuckled and said, "We did a lot more than kiss Popey"

I looked down totally embarrassed by what he just said.

"So what did he do?" Sarah asked

"We just broke up" I said hiding the truth

"I cheated on her... It was a stupid mistake..." He said telling everyone and then he got up and walked away

"Wow, you never said anything. Is that why you made the no pogue on pogue macking rule?"John B questioned

"Yeah" I said getting up and following JJ down the beach a bit and the fire was about 200 years away

I caught up to him and said, "You didn't need to tell them that. I thought we were going to keep that a secret"

"We were, but they deserve to know the truth. That it was all my fault and not yours..."

"J, I really wish we would have just kept that between us. It makes me feel like I wasn't good enough for you... I just don't want to talk about it" I said crying

"No, fuck... Kie, look at me..." He said and I looked into his eyes and he maintained the strong eye contact

"Nothing that happened in the past is your fault. It wasn't that you weren't good enough for me, you were too good. I know that sounds stupid but it's the truth. Kie. Taylor was so stupid. I don't know why I did it. I was completely sober. I.."

"Taylor is a slut. You hooked up with her and not me. It's not like we hadn't done it before"

"I know, okay this is going to sound stupid but it's way easier for me to be with Taylor than it was with you because, with her, it meant nothing. It was just sex and us joking about everything. It would never have gone anywhere. With you, it fucking terrified me because I was so in love with you and I was scared that I would fuck it up"

"How could you have fucked it up?" I asked confused by his answer

"I don't know, okay!? My dad knew we were dating and he told me about when he dated kooks and how they ruined his life and how they hurt him and that's why my mom left."

"J, you aren't your father and you know that."

"I know and I really am sorry, Kie. There's no excuse for what I did."

"You know my kook year sucked. I ended up dating Rafe. I missed the pogues which is why I came back. I didn't want to because I didn't want to see you or be friends with you. I thought coming back would be easy, I didn't realize how pissed everyone would be at me for leaving. But you were the one who hugged me and told me that you missed me and I forgave you" 

We sat on the beach and talked for a little longer and then we went back to the group.

"How are the love birds?" John B teased

"Shut up, we're just friends... That's all we'll ever be" JJ said and my heart sank hearing those words leave his mouth

And that's all we were for the next few days until it was raining and I was freezing. It was dark out and we were all squished in our little shelter. I was in the corner next to John B who was cuddled up to Sarah and Sarah was close to Cleo who was holding Pope who was somewhat near JJ. JJ got up and he moved over to me and gave me his sweatshirt and he wrapped his arms around me.  He didn't say anything but just as I was falling asleep he whispered, "I lied, I don't just want to be friends"

"Neither do I" I whispered back and JJ kissed me softly

"Goodnight, princess" He teased

"Goodnight, Maybank" I whispered as I fell asleep in his arms

I woke up in his arms and Sarah said, "I knew it, JJ and Kie are together"

I just kissed JJ and he pulled me on top of him and continued to make out just to mess with the pogues. I finally had my boyfriend back.
