We arrive at the beach party parking the Twinkie viewing the beach, John B likes to keep his eyes on his baby. JJ opens the side door jumping out first he holds his hand out for me to grab onto as he helps me out. He does the same for Kie too.
Sarah gets out of the front along with John B. Kie and Sarah still haven't spoke a word to each other.
We walk onto the dimly lit beach, the sand soft and delicate between my toes. People are already drinking and dancing around the bonfire. The music is at perfect volume and no litter on the beach. Pogues know how to party.
I'm walking beside Sarah our arms linked. "You okay Sar?" She seems quiet.
"Yeah I'm just worried Topper is gonna show up tonight and make a scene."
I already know one thousand percent my brother is gonna turn up tonight along with Kelce and most likely Rafe. It's gonna be awkward her seeing Topper after they've broke up and now she's at a party with John B, he's gonna cause a scene alright.
"Hate to break it to you, but he is most definitely going to turn up tonight. The kooks always do even though they claim to hate pogues they obviously love their parties. He knows you're gonna be here with me."
She sighs anxiously. Not wanting her night to be a complete disaster before my brother ruins it for us all, I drag her straight to the keg and pour us both a drink. One after another. We end up downing at least 4 cups each.
We walk up to John B and JJ who are stood talking. Kie and Pope are at the other side of the beach.
"So Sarah Cameron, how does it feel to be single?" JJ is the first to talk, we all laugh at his stupid question.
"It feels... weird." Sarah answers honestly.
"Jesus, what time is it?" JJ shouts dramatically.
"Half past nine, why?" John B replies confusedly.
"I think they've broken their record, earliest the kooks have every crashed a party." JJ continues yelling jokingly.
We all follow his eye line to see the golden trio walking onto the beach followed by plenty of other groups of kooks.
"Oh no." Sarah whispers nervously quickly turning back around to face us not wanting her ex to know she was looking at him.
"You'll be fine, just avoid him at all costs. He's at one side of the beach, you move to the other." I explain consolingly trying to comfort her.
"What if he wants to talk to me?" She starts biting her finger nails with nervousness.
"You say no?" I shrug not having been in this situation before but still trying to be a good friend.
My eyes fall back on Rafe, Kelce and my brother who now seem to be conversing with... Kie?
"What the fuck." The words spill out my mouth.
The boys look in the same direction as me.
"Is that Kie?" John B squints unsure if his eyes were deceiving him.
"That's definitely Kie." JJ confirms.
"Why is she talking to them?" Sarah finally looks to see what we're all talking about.
"I have no fucking idea." We all shake our head in unison before turning our heads back to face each other.
Pope strolls over to us joining our circle. "Can someone please tell me why Kie is stood talking to them?" He wastes no time in asking the same thing we're all thinking.
"Why don't you tell us Pope, you was stood with her last." JJ puts his arm around my shoulder and I don't push him off.
"I have no idea. She said she was going to get a drink and she didn't come back and then I just spotted her talking to them so I came over here wondering if you knew why." He explains.
We all turn around in sync to look at Kie again. She's laughing with them all.
"Maybe she's gonna have another Kook year." JJ laughs awkwardly trying to break the tension we're all feeling.
"I don't think that's gonna be a joke by the looks of it JJ."
My eyes land on Rafe who is already looking back at me. His face expressionless. He looks down before walking away from his friends to get another drink at the Keg.
"I'm gonna go and find out." I tell the others. JJ takes his arm off me and I walk over to Rafe confidently.
"Rafe?" He turns around to look down at me.
"What?" He says abruptly.
I can't help but feel intimidated under his stare. "What was Kie saying?"
"Why don't you ask her?" He furrows his brows like I'm stupid.
I can feel my face heating up from embarrassment. "But I'm asking you?"
He sighs with annoyance. My presence is obviously irritating him. "She was just talking about midsummers and Kelce invited her to a party at his tomorrow." He sips his drink.
"Is she going?" I ask another question hoping to annoy him even more.
He shrugs. "Don't know, don't care."
"Alright, thanks for nothing." I huff before turning to walk away.
"Well next time ask your fucking friend." He growls causing me to halt mid step before turning back around.
"I just asked you a couple of questions, you don't have to be a dick about it." I scold him fearlessly.
"Go back to your boyfriend, JJ." He spits hatefully.
"He's not my boyfriend Rafe. Jeez! What is your problem!"
He walks right up to me his eyes peering down with pure hatred. "Why don't you get the hell out of my way so I can enjoy the rest of my night." He says so easily with no expression at all.
Yelling echoes across the entire beach causing both our heads to snap up. I should've known who is at the centre of it all.
Topper.
We rush over to find out what's going on.
"Ohh, here she is!" Topper announces my presence glaring down at me with his icy stare. "The girl that likes to ruin relationships!"
Everyone stares right at me.
"I didn't make Sarah break up with you Top-"
He doesn't even give me chance to finish speaking before he interrupts me.
"Oh shut up! If you wasn't here, me and Sarah would be together, we'd be happy!" Tears begin to prick the back of my eyes at his hurtful words but I blink them away, everyone on this beach is not seeing me cry.
"Topper-"
This time I am interrupted by Sarah.
"The only person who made us break up is you Topper! You did this yourself! Why would I ever want to be with someone who is capable of treating his own sister the way you do!"
"Vanessa has nothing to do with our relationship!" He whines as soon as it's Sarah he's talking to.
"V is my best friend, Top! We have been best friends forever, I can't just push her aside because of you. We wouldn't have even been together if she didn't exist, do you not get that!" Her voice loud and cold. This is the most I have ever seen Sarah angry. This is the most I have ever seen Sarah argue. Between the both of us, she is definitely the one who hates confrontation and arguments.
Topper looks defeated.
