Kiara's POV
I unlock the gate to my house feeling more nervous I walk up the stairs seeing my mom folding I open the door quietly "mom! Dad!"I call out closing the door I turn to see my mom on the balcony "oh thank God oh my god"my mom sighs in relief I walk towards her "where have you been? We were up all night long. I was at the hospital."she tells me "well the truck broke down and then my phone died.and we didn't have a plug"I tell her she laughs shaking her head "well,of course that makes  complete sense the plug? Of course. The plug"she laughs again "yeah"I whisper when she seats down "John b and Cj are back"I smile a little"yeah I heard that. I heard that on the news I heard he's arrested for murder and she's on trial for it too"she looks at me "yeah,but they didn't...they didn't do,okay? I promise. Somebody's framing them"I truthfully explain"and he's gonna need money for a good lawyer"I ease at her "I can't do this with you."she says after she scoffs "mom,this is really important."I tell her"you didn't even call me."she holds her hands out to the sides "John B and Cj are being arrested for murder I mean for you understand that? It's not all about you."I snap  she throws a rag down and stands up "yeah"she laughs again sarcastically turning to me "that's exactly what I was thinking at four in the morning when I was out on the beach looking to see if your body washed up with the tide I was definitely thinking this is all about me"I look down "Jesus honey,you treat me like shit"she says on the verge of breaking down "you treat me like shit. You don't even trust me."I remark "why should I trust you when all you do is lie to me!"she states her voice raising "when have I lied to you!"I tell back I see my dad walk in with two shopping bags he drops them and walks towards her "Kiara,stop it! Everything you're doing is for these boy and that girl."she implies "it's all about them"I repeat "it is always about the boys and I use to see that girl around town before and she's just as much trouble as them and your putting them above everything else."she tells me"god you are so worried that I'm gonna sleep with a pouge like you did! Well guess what? I already did"I shrug they look at me to see if I was serious "let me handle this--"my dad tries with my mom "no,no,no!,no! I'm done I don't think you have any idea how hard we worked to try and give you opportunities that other kids do not have!"she verbalizes again "how many times do I have to tell you guys that I don't care about those things?"I ask them "yes,and you should!"my mom Begins to fold clothes again "well,I'm sorry I don't! Look I'm a pouge,and I always will be! This is why I hat coming back here"I tell them "you hate coming back here?"my dad asks "baby you wanna live like a pouge?"my mom ask getting closer to me she grabs my clothes "let me show you what that's like" she throws them over the balcony "go live like a freaking pouge. Get your butt out of my house!"she points I feel tears well up in my eyes I look at my dad "nobody's stopping you!"my mom yells I nod walking downstairs picking up my clothes  walking away

Jj's POV
I ride to the jail on my dirtbike listening to music through my headphones with my sunglasses on I put my kickstand down I get off and put a toothpick in my mouth I see two sheriff's walk out I salute them before sticking the middle finger at them when they walked away I go to the front desk to talk to someone "I'm here to see John b Routledge and Ciara Jones"I tell the guy "no music, get rid of the toothpick and Ciara Jones is not allowed any visitors she's in the holding cell"he says something but I pretend I can't hear him "I can't hear what you're saying man, all right?
