jj pov:

"what the fuck is going on here!?" i shout. "none of your business, pogue" he says. i snicker as he steps back. "she's just being a little bitch" he says. this fills me with anger. i step forward, and punch him in the face. "jj!" kie shouts. "stop!" sarah shouts. "jj bro, come on" john b says, pulling on my arm. i shrug him off and go over to _______ on the floor. i lean over him as i punch him in her face again. "don't ever touch, or call her a bitch again. do you understand?" i say. i step back a little and go to john b and pope. "this is all your fault kie, i hope you know that" he says. i bite my tongue as i look at him. he's just asking for it. "shut up" i say, but i'm pulled to face the other way by hands on my shoulders. i look at john b and pope who are standing in-front of me. "don't bite, he's not worth it" pope says. "no!" cleo shouts as i hear a click behind me. i furrow my eyebrows as john b and pope's faces drop. "what?" i say. just as i'm turning around i hear a loud bang. a gunshot.

kiara pov:

"shut up" sarah says. "what is it, with you telling me to shut up?" jj says. "you do it all the time" he adds. "because you're annoying" sarah says. "oh my god give it a rest" john b says, but they both ignore him. "i take that very personally" jj says. "good" sarah says. "see!? like that is so unnecessary!" jj says. "what are y'all arguing about?" cleo says, coming outside the chateau with pope. "who kiara likes more" john b says. "it's clearly me" sarah says. "you wish" jj says, throwing a marshmallow at her. she gasps. "you're so dead" she says, standing up. "am i now" jj says. "bro i don't like either of you more" i say. "i love you both, it's just two different types of love" i add.

sarah's been my best friend since we were like, 4. and jj's my boyfriend, i'm not choosing who i like more because i love them both.

"that was a waste of a marshmallow" john b says. sarah freezes, crosses her arms and stares at john b. he puts his hands up in surrender. "i swear y'all are siblings" pope says, sitting down on a stump. "i'd rather die" sarah says. "you'd be lucky to have me as a brother!" jj says. sarah snorts. "lucky my ass" she says. "pope's right, y'all have such a sibling bond" i say. "she's just annoying" jj says. "you're annoying" sarah says. "just drop it!" john b shouts.

jj and sarah are the ones in the group who argue the worst. they could argue about literally anything. but they're still best friends. their bond is actually quite cute.

sarah sits back down. "wouldn't it be crazy, if y'all actually were siblings?" cleo says. "yeah, very" sarah says. "i mean, neither of you know your mom" john b says. "and y'all kinda look alike" i add. sarah and jj look at each-other. "i guess.." sarah says. "wouldn't that make us twins though?" jj says. "not necessarily, if one of you were born in like, september, then the other 9-11 months later, then y'all would still be in the same school year" i say. "well, jj's born in october, and sarah is born in august the year after" john b says. "oh my god y'all it actually adds up" pope says. "it's very unlikely though" cleo adds. "and that would make jj related to rafe and wheezie too" john b says. i feel a pit in my stomach when he says rafe. after what happened... i can't even listen to his name he said without feeling sick. "okay, i'm done with these weird conspiracy things" jj says, standing up. "i'm going to bed" he says, walking inside. i talk to the others for a few more minutes before following him inside.

"hey" i say, walking in the spare room. he's lay on the bed, on his phone. "hi" he says, putting his phone down on the table next to him. i lay down next to him. "hey kie?" he says. "yeah?" i say. "did something happen between you and rafe?" he says. my heart drops. "what?" i say. "it's just.. whenever someone mentions him or he's nearby you change, like your scared" he says. i sigh. it happened so long ago, but it still scares me. i've never told anyone except for sarah. that's why her and rafe don't get along much anymore, because of what he did. i turn over to face jj. he moves back a little so i can see him. he takes my hands in his. "whatever it is, you can tell me" he says. i take a deep breathe. "uhm.." i start. "he tried to rape me" i blurt out. jj furrows his eyebrows. "what?" he says. i'm filled with regret. i wish i hadn't have said anything. tears begin to form in my eyes. "it was uhh, at a party at sarah's house, a few years ago" i say. jj stares at me, listening. "i was really drunk and at first we were just making out and then he tried to go further, and when i tried to push him away he wouldn't get off of me. luckily sarah walked in and saw what was going on, otherwise he probably would've succeeded" i say, looking down. jj mouth hangs open. "kie i'm so sorry" he says. "don't apologise" i say. "he's a son of a bitch" jj says. "you can't tell anyone" i say. "i won't" he says. "i promise i won't" he says, pulling me into a hug. i let the couple of tears that were in my eyes drop out, then i lay down next to jj, and we eventually fall asleep. it feels relieving to tell someone other than sarah about what happened. i've been needing to get it off my chest. i'm just scared of what jj may do if he comes across rafe, because he doesn't know rafe like me and sarah do. he's dangerous.
