I laid my head down on my arms that were resting on the table. Last night I barley got any sleep. I stayed beside John B all night long making sure he kept breathing, anytime he'd move around I'd put my ear up to his chest to make sure it was beating rhythmically, call me crazy but that what it was like living with anxiety, you imagine the worst case scenario.

When I wasn't thinking about John B my mind was clouded with JJ. All I thought about was him. His eyes, his dimples,— but I couldn't kiss him again not until I talked to him and we haven't had a moment alone since the beach.

A hand rested on my back. "Hey you okay?" The boy himself peered over. I sat up groggily nodding my head. "Just tired." JJ looks at me doubtingly but took my word for it, and takes a seat beside me. our confession yesterday hadn't made a difference in our friendship we were still JJ and Andie expect we loved each other, like a lot. It was actually embarrassing how much I loved him, I loved his stupid blonde hair and his beautiful blue eyes and that goofy smile and I've just been waiting for the perfect moment to talk to him.

"So your moving out into a Cameron's house? How the hell does that make sense." I jumped into the conversation.

"Only because he bailed us out." He declared, "If it wasn't for him we'd be drowning in hospital bills." He leaned back in his chair.

"All I'm saying is don't expect me to go with you." I communicated. He couldn't honestly believe that even for a second I'd agree to move in there with him, brother or not he would have to tie me up and drag me in that house.

"He promised me you'd have a room too, it woudnt be too bad."

"You're not serous?" I found what he was saying incredibly funny. "Listen. Be with Sarah all you want but the last thing I wanna do is move in there." I informed my older brother.

"Good because you not." JJ piped up. John B rolled shot JJ a pointed look. "Stay out of it."  If I told John B about rafe he for sure wouldn't want me staying there but I just wanted to put the whole thing past me already. "Didn't rafe like beat your ass?" I shinned a lopsided grin.

John B gave me a dirty look,"He did not beat my ass" his gritted his teeth.

Kiara came out from the counter of the wreck placing chips down. "Your promised you weren't with her," she sat down. He shrugs slightly. "Listen if you wanna hang out with her we're not gonna stop you. but I'm letting you know I'm not doing anything with her." Ki said to him and I nod in agreement.

"Do you guys see her here? No, okay. Then a little focus would be fantastic." John B sassed. I rolled my eye plopping a chip in my mouth, "your sassy" I commented to myself, JJ nudged me and we both shared a small laugh. Pope snapped his fingers, "Eh tweedle dumb and tweedle doo, some focus would be great"

His expression dulled, "party pooper" JJ grumbled, I smile tightly and crossed my hands over my chest.

"We got the map, right?"

"It's out of whack cause the guy was ganj'ad when he drew it" JJ mutters, druming his fingers on the table.

"No...It's cause the coast changed."

"So we just have to look for the landmarks that haven't changed." Pope factually stated, reading off the old map. "What's about the old forks?" The old forks was a old battle ground that was now used as a monument that people could come visit, it was mainly used for tourists so it was well known. "Battery Jasper," Kie confirmed and she pointed to the map. I stood up on my feet and snatched the keys off the table, "well what are we waiting for?"
