TW: self harm.

once we arrived at the château, pope quickly stepped out of the car. me following behind him but slowly.

"kenzie are you okay?" he asked looking over the car and making contact with me. "yeah im fine. i just dont feel that good today." i told him as we walked inside.

"dude! wheres jb?" pope asked as we walked up the front porch. "he's probably getting beer or something." kiara replied, just as john b walked in.

"no fucking way you brought her here so now shes apart of it?!" kie said to john b.  everyone was silent and jb looked at pope, then jj, then me for help.

"look all i care about is that her cut comes out of your share." jj said. "you know i don't remember taking a vote." kie said. "this is our thing. a pogue thing." she finished.

"you didnt have this big of problem when kenzie joined!? now you guys are best friends." john b said getting defensive. "this has nothing to do with me! the situation is completely different!" i yelled at him.

"i gotta say, im a tad uncomfortable with all this." pope chimed in and we wall looked at him. "thank you-" i said.

"when are you not uncomfortable pope!" john b said yelling at one of his best friends now. "i dunno i have rode here on the back of jj's bike pretty comfortable, multiple times." he said back to john b. "its true most relaxed ive ever seen him." jj replied.

"thats cute guys." jb said sarcastically while rolling his eyes and looking at me and kie.

"you know we were all extremely comfortable till you brought her here." kiara said while glaring at sarah. "can you guys pretend im at least here?!" sarah said while looking at kie. "then leave, we dont want you here." i said to her as she rolled her eyes.

she scoffed and looked at john b, "i told you."

"told him what? exactly." i asked. "that you're a liar?" i asked. "no, that you two are shit talking cunts." she yelled at me and kie.

i leaped at her before i felt a pair of hands on my waist realizing it was pope.

"oh shit-" pope and jj said together. "when have i lied?!" sarah questioned.

pope put me down and sat back next to jj.

"my moneys on kie and kenzie." the two boys said while watching.

"you get close to someone and then you-- for like a month?" i turned to kie. "yeah a month-- " she agreed.

"i didnt lie about shit!" she yelled back.

"everybody shut up!" john b yelled. "kiara youre my best friend. kenzie youre like a sister. sarah-- sarah you're my-- my girlfriend--." john b said.

"ohh... thats new.." jj whisper shouted to pope. "shes your girlfriend now?" kie asked. "what was all that talk about you were just using her for information?" i asked him. "get a map, cut her lose." i finished while looking at the guilt form in his face.

"you said you were using me?" sarah asked. "no--" he started to say. "yeah you did-" jj and pope both said. "you said all those things." me and kie looked at each other and agreed.

"look, love kinda just walked in, okay?" he said. "oh vomit." kie snickered and i gave a small chuckle at what she said. "i didnt expect it." john b pleeded. "i didnt expect it, it just happened." "im not gonna deny it. right?" he finished. pope turns to me and whispers "oh thats corny."

"look cut the bullshit john b. if shes in im out." kie said.  "kie im not doing this. i cant!" he said. "you are going to decide." she stated. "im very interested actually. me or her? john b me or her?" she said while glaring at him. "both." he said with a blank face. "ooh.." pope said. "went for the hail mary." jj whistles.
