"We're friends." JJ chuckles lightly, confusion filling his eyes.
"Friends? Friends don't do this." I furrow my eyebrows, slightly hurt.
He gets up, now sitting besides me on the bed. I get up too, copying his actions and facing him with my hands in my lap.
"What do you want us to be?" JJ asks.
"Isn't it obvious, Jay? I know you're not as stupid as you lead on." I say, my tone coming off harsher than intended.
"Julie, you're drunk. You just found out your dad is a murderer, and you recently got out of a shitty relationship. If anything, I'm gonna make your situation worse." JJ runs a hand through his hair, refusing to make eye contact with me.
"No, Jay. You don't get it. I want you. I keep telling you, I want you. And- and you keep denying it." I scoot closer to him, placing my hands on either side of his face to force him to look at me.
"You know I want you too. But it's not gonna work." Those last 5 words made me feel like I got stabbed straight in the heart.
"Why won't it work? We can make it work." I stammer, tears building up in my eyes.
"I think it's best if we uh, don't sleep together tonight." JJ gets up and heads for the door.
"Fuck you." I mutter, blinking back tears.
Without another word, he leaves, leaving me alone in this dingy room.

"Jules!" A loud banging came from outside the bedroom door.
"Shut up!" I yell, shoving my head in between two pillows.
"We're going out to surf! Wanna come?" Pope yells from behind the door.
"Give me five minutes." I yell back, my voice muffled in the sheets. I pull myself out of bed and walk over to the dresser. I open the second drawer which had a few of my clothes and slide on a floral bikini top and white denim jeans. I open the door to see the others waiting on the couch, JJ not even bothering to look up at me.
"C'mon!" Pope wraps his arm around my shoulder as we all pile out of the house. It was only a 2 minute walk to the beach, so I decided to walk with Pope and Kie, letting the boy ramble on about his weird science-y shit.
Once we arrive, JJ and John B immediately take off running towards the waves while the rest of us sit in the sand. I laid on my back, shutting my eyes and slowly dozing off. As I slept peacefully, the two other pogues ran off into the waves as well, leaving me alone.
"Hey, is that Jules? Juliette!" A familiar voice approached me, causing me to open my eyes and bring one hand to my face to block the sun.
Sarah Cameron walked up to me with Rafe and Kelce following behind. I sit up, looking at the three Kooks. "Hey, guys." I smile, avoiding eye contact with Rafe.
"We have drinks. Want some?" Kelce holds out a couple bottles of wine, waving them back and forth.
"Absolutely." I grab a bottle from him and I could feel Rafe's eyes on me. "Hey Sarah, can we talk alone?" I ask the girl.
"Yeah, shoo!" She swats the boys away before joining me on the ground. "What's up?" Sarah asks me.
"Uh, weird question. Has Ward been acting weird by any chance? Like weirder than normal?"
"I mean, I guess. After the boat ride with John B, I haven't even spoken to either of them. My dad's been locked away in his office or with your dad. And John B just never showed back up to Tannyhill." Sarah shrugs. "Why?"
"No reason." I look down at the wine bottle in my hands.
"Okayyy." Sarah chuckles awkwardly. "So, you and JJ finally together or what?"
"Completely the opposite. He rejected me last night." I roll my eyes, looking out at the pogues fighting against the waves.
"Well, my brother has been nonstop talking about you, Jules. It's well known, best way to get back at JJ is to make him jealous." Sarah winks at me before the sound of Rafe and Kelce approaching us interrupts us.
"Rafe!" I whip my head around to look at him. "You wanna get in the water?" I ask him, smiling up at him.
"Someone's happy today." Rafe helps me up with a chuckle and begins leading me to the water.
"Fake it till you make it, you know?" I grin, letting the boy pick me up under the water. In the near distance, JJ and the others had given up on surfing and just messed around in the water. My smile suddenly drops as his crystal blue eyes meet mine.
"Hey, Rafe?" I look into his eyes.
"Hm?"
"Kiss me." Without hesitation, the tall blond pulls me into a kiss. Although I felt absolutely nothing from this kiss, the reaction I got from JJ made up for it.
"Fuck!" I hear an angry shout in the distance, followed by an angry splash.
"JJ." Kiara places her hand on his chest to soothe him.
"Get off me." He shoves her off, and I couldn't tell if he was approaching us or making his way to the shore.
I kept my lips connected to Rafe's, running my hand through his hair.
"Cameron!" An upset voice causes us to separate, looking at JJ in confusion. With one swift movement, JJ's fist connects with Rafe's jaw.
"JJ, what the fuck?" I immediately rush to Rafe's aid, holding his face in my hands as I watch rage fill his eyes.
"You can do better than him." JJ continues to move past us, shoving between me and Rafe in the process.
"What the hell, JJ?" Pope and the rest of the pogues follow after the angry blond. I also follow after him, shoving him harshly once we approach the sand.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I shout.
"Me? You're the one that keeps going back to this fucking douchebag!" Jealousy seethed through his teeth.
"Oh, so we can't date but I also can't date anyone else?" I yell back.
"Sounds good to me." JJ says sarcastically, snatching the bottle of alcohol I left on the floor.
"You're such an asshole." I continue to follow him as he walks away.
"I just want what's best for you, Julie."
"No! You're being selfish!" He continues walking farther away, now reaching the hot pavement as the others ignored us and continued to have fun on the beach.
"I'm being self-less." He finally turns to face me, taking a sip of alcohol.
"Just say you don't like me. And that everything we've done was a dumb mistake, and I'll leave you alone." I whisper.
And for one split second, his guard drops. He steps closer to me, pulling me by my waist and placing a long kiss on my lips. Without another word, he walks off, leaving me stranded.

"Still no sign of JJ?" Kiara glances at the window besides the chateau door.
