Blurring the lines ~ Jiara

Confusion

Kiara woke up first and it was late morning. She saw JJ sleeping peacefully beside her which brought a smile to her face. How has all of this happened so fast, she barely even knew him a few weeks ago and now she doesn't want to be away from him. She realised suddenly that she's been out all night and her parents are probably worried sick. Yes they had argued but they didn't deserve that so she set of home, not wanting to wake JJ up.

When JJ woke up he was confused, John B was staring directly in his eyes.

" hey sleepyhead" he smirked

JJ rolled over and gave him the middle finger.

" no seriously, get up "

" whyyy" he whined

" dude it's midday, stop being a lazy shit" JB chuckles as he throws JJ's shirt that was on the floor at his face.

JJ rubs his eyes and immediately notices Kiaras absence. This seems to be a reoccurring event with them, every time they spend the night together, one isn't there in the morning, it's kinda frustrating. JJ starts to worry a little, does she still have doubts over him, why does he even care? He's only known her for a few weeks now. This was all very confusing for him.

JJ shrugs and shakes away the thoughts, he didn't want to think about all that right now, he just woke up , so it was too soon for all that deep shit.

Kiara tries to sneak through the house quietly to her room. But " Kiara" he mum says loudly and firmly from the coach not even having to look at her, her dads sat next to her. Kiara stops in her tracks and scrunches up her face before walking over to them. " yes" she practically whispers.

Her mum coldly turns her head to look at her daughter. " care to explain yourself?"
Kiara avoids eye contact and doesn't say anything.
" no?" Her mum pushes
" you're grounded"

"What! What for? I had to get out of here , what did you want me to do stay and listen to your bullshi.."

Her mum grew immediately angry and cut her of by slapping her across the face suddenly.

Kiara was taken aback, she held her face in pain, too shocked to speak.

"Anna" Mike warns but then turning his attention back to the TV.

Kiara just look sadly at her dad, he wasn't going to defend her. Her eyes glossed over, fighting back the tears. She ran up to her room and slammed the door then crashing on her bed finally allowing all the emotion to overcome her, crying uncontrollably. This had been building, for longer then she'd realised.

———————————————————————————

JJ was missing Kiaras company already in the few hours they'd been apart, but he didn't like that feeling. He's independent and doesn't want to ever need anyone. So he tried not to think about her and got on with his day. He hadn't hung out with Pope and John B properly for a little while so they all went to the beach for a surf, and it felt great, like it was back to normal.

" so are you gunna tell us about this mystery girl then or what" Pope questions smiling and nudging JJ as they all lie on the sand.

" huh?" JJ replies innocently

" come on, did you think we hadn't noticed?" John B laughs

JJ tilts his head to the side scrunching his face.

"So?" JB pushes

"I'm not really sure to be honest, it's all kinda confusing"

" she keeps blowing hot and cold a little bit, like yesterday, everything was great and then this morning she just... vanishes"

They both burst out laughing.

" what?" He says angrily

" sorry man it's just .... Karma" JB says continuing to laugh.

JJ raises his eyebrows confused.

" look, that sounds like your describing yourself, you never get attached to girls, because you bail before you get the chance to, it seems like you really like this girl based on how you've been acting compared to all the girls you've been with in the past, this seems different so ....... Don't run" he taps him on the shoulder before standing and walking down the beach back towards the chateaux with pope following behind and then finally JJ.

JJ lay in bed that night not being able to stop thinking about what John B said, it was driving him mad, he couldn't sleep. He twisted and turned uncomfortably for a bit before rolling over and grabbing his phone.

phone convo:

JJ: hey, you awake?

( kiara was also lying wide awake in bed staring at the ceiling, a purple bruise darkening on her cheek still throbbing from earlier when she heard her phone vibrate)

Kiara: yeah

JJ: are you ok?

Kiara: yeah

JJ: what's with the one word answers

Kiara: I'm just drained

JJ: do you wanna come over?

Kiara: 👍

JJ:🏃‍♀️

Kiara: on my way
