The next morning, Bella woke up in her bed, on her own, instantly getting up and going to have a cold shower - due to there still being no power - needing to wake herself up after a long night of pure thinking about the fact that her dad is definitely alive. She knew it this whole time, but there was always that one tiny part of the girl that almost believed everything that everyone was telling her to think. John B was always 100% sure on the fact that their dad was still out there somewhere, but finding his compass completely secured it for Bella.

After the brunette got out of the shower, she waltzed back into her bedroom in just a towel with dripping wet hair. She got changed into a black bikini, pulling on some denim shorts and a crop top over the top. As she started to use a towel to dry my hair, there was an appearance of someone that she could see behind her in the mirror.

She turned to see JJ standing in my doorway ''Hi'' he spoke softly.

''Hi'' she replied sweetly, walking past him, to put the damp towel in the bathroom.

''How're you this morning Elle?'' He trailed behind her.

The girl leant on the bathroom sink facing the boy, crossing her arms ''I'm okay J. What about you?''

He smiled brightly from his position at the bathroom door ''I'm good actually'' Seeing him smile was such a gorgeous sight for Bella and had her thinking over the thoughts that had ran through her mind the previous day. What if she liked JJ in a way best friends shouldn't? She couldn't though, even if she did, it's JJ and she's just Bella...

She was quickly brought out of her thoughts after realising that JJ was now standing in front of her, looking down at her face to see if she was truly okay like she had said she was. looking back up at him, a question had just come to her mind, the same one she had when she first woke up ''Where did you stay last night?''

''I just went home, wanted to leave you and JB alone for a bit'' he smiled softly, them still being in close proximity, her heart twisting with sadness. The brunette hates even just the thought of JJ going home to his deadbeat father.

She placed her palms on his cheeks, his face being in her hands ''J, don't ever think you can't call the chateau home, or even this place. Are you sure you're okay, you don't have to lie to me''

He placed one of his own hands over one of hers and the other on her waist, butterflies instantly swarming her stomach ''I'm always fine when i'm with you Elle'' leaning down down to kiss her forehead, making her blush as she took a hand off his face, interlocking their fingers. His other hand still on her waist, pulling it away with her free hand dragging him out of the house.

They headed over to the chateau and JJ ran ahead ''Watch this'' as she carried on walking up the steps to the home, JJ had banged on the door and shouted ''DCS! I know you're in there!'' making his way over to the window that John B was sleeping in front of and banged on it when the boy had started to look outside, making him jump. ''Gotcha slick'' JJ laughed.

Bella slapped the blonde on the shoulder ''That's not funny JJ. I swear to god if you did that to me I would've punched you''

He opened the door for her, taking her hand in his ''And that's exactly why I didn't do it to you princess''

When they walked in and saw John B still slightly shaken up from his scare, the pair started laughing ''You should've seen your face'' JJ said through laughs.

John B had properly woken up and the three of them set off in the van, John B driving, JJ in the passenger seat and Bella lying across the seats in the back.
