~JJ's pov-countinuing for where his chapter left~

I tried to keep breathing in and out. It wasn't working. Kie would tell me to think of something that makes me happy.

She does.

She's not here.

She's not here and it's my fault. I shouldn't have left her alone. I should've been there. I should've done something. I should've figure out how to get to her faster.

I tried to keep breathing but it wasn't working and even if I was trying my best to stay calm it only made me panick more.

I felt like I was drowning but this time Kie wasn't here to save me.

"JJ?" John B asked from the other side of the room.

I couldn't say anything, if I'd have talked then he'd figure out. I wasn't even sure if I could've talk. John B would know from the second I open my mouth. It's not the first time he found me like this. He's also the one who was helping me but we didn't have time for this now.

I tried to ignore him and keep taking deep breaths in but pointless.

"JJ you're okay?" John B asked again but I didn't answer.

Breath

Breath

Breath

Breath

Just fucking breath

"JJ" he said again. "JJ it's just me in here" he added after a while.

Keep breathing

Keep breathing

Keep breathing

"JJ" he said again.

The moment when I started freaking out even more was when I realised that I couldn't even hear him clearly anymore. It was the moment when I could've only hear my heart beating and nothing else.

I didn't even relaise that John B already came in until I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"You're okay, okay?" he said. "She's okay" he added.

I shaked my head unable to form any words. He tried to hold me by the shoulders and make me look at him.

"I'm gonna talk with Sarah and we won't keep trying clothes and all, okay? We'll go now I promise" he said.

"I should've done something" I managed to say even if I wasn't sure if John B even understood what I said.

"You didn't know, no one knew this was gonna happen but we'll save her okay? I promise we will" he said.

I don't remember for how long we stayed there and for how long he's been talking but it worked. I eventually calmed down a little. I was still struggling to take the deep breaths in but it was better.

"I'm gonna go tell Sarah to leave the clothes and go okay?" he said.

I nodded but before he left the room I added "You know I'm doing you a favour, right? You look like a damn kook" I said pointing towards the blue suit Sarah made him try.

"You're lucky you didn't see what she had for you" he said letting out a relieved laugh.

As soon as he got out of the changing cabin I took a quick glance in the mirror, I looked well enough to get out but I stayed there for a few more minutes just in case. John B knocked on the wall from the cabin a few times letting me know that we're leaving.

I didn't talk with anyone on our way out of the shop. The only one talking was Sarah complaining about leaving.

"I still don't get what did you mean by not feeling the right vibe in clothes" she said.

"Well if you don't feel it you don't feel it" John B shrugged his shoulders then winked at me.

Sarah scoffed next to him but didn't say anything else. I was glad he didn't say anything to her even if I knew she wouldn't judge.

"Where's the Twinkie?" Pope asked. "It was right here"

"Maybe we didn't park it here" Cleo said.

"No I'm sure it was here" said John B.

"Well why'd someone steal the twinkie and not any of this other cars?" asked Cleo.

"Maybe cause this wasn't a parking spot" said Pope inspecting a small sign from an wall.

"Great now we got no car and no clothes" Sarah said eyeing John B.

"Don't blame me" he said.

"Well I am blaming you" she said then mocked him "the clothes weren't the right vibe"

"Well if we wouldn't have stop then we'd still have a car" he said.

I looked around trying to see if I can spot anything but the only thing I noticed were lots of boats parked in the port.

"Guys?" I asked but no one heard me.

"Who the hell feels the vibe in clothes" Sarah countinued.

"Guys?" I tried again but nothing.

"Well I do" said John B.

"Guys" I tried again but nothing.

Suddenly Cleo whistled catching their attention. I need to learn how to do that as soon as we're back.

"We don't have time for this, we need to find a way of getting to Kie" she said.

"We could steal a boat" I said still looking at the port.

"How are you planning on stealing a boat?" Pope asked.

"I'm not going to Sarah is" I said.

"Hell no" she simply answered giving me a look like I was insane.

"Here you can rent boats, you just gotta talk about your family and they'll give it to you" I said like it was obvious.

"Well at least it's not stealing at all" she said staring to give in.

"And while you're talking I'm gonna go get the keys with Cleo cause there's no way they'll give you the boat" I added.

"So it is stealing" she said again.

"You're not the one doing it so in the worst case scenario you're an accomplice" I said.

"Okay fine let's do it" she said giving in.

"John B, you and Pope wait around the boat so we could leave faster" I said.

We got towards the renting spot. Sarah was walking first followed by John B and Pope and me and Cleo walked on the other side of the road so they won't see us around them.

"Got your knife?" I asked.

"Never leaving without it" she said.
