The next morning JJ decided to go by Kies house. He knew she had a tough day yesterday and he wanted to try to cheer her up.
He got there early and knocked on the door. Mike answered and let him inside
"JJ, I wasn't expecting you" Mike said, but happy he was there
"Yea, sorry" JJ said "I just wanted to ride with Kie to school if that's alright with y'all"
"Of course" Mike said, going back into the kitchen with JJ "so, do you know about pope?"
JJ eyebrows pinched as he was confused. He didn't think Kie would tell her dad that he had tried to kiss her.
"It depends.." JJ said hesitantly, not wanting to get her in trouble incase he was talking about something else.
"What happened at the chateau" Mike said, grabbing a handful of almonds from the pantry
"You mean.. how he tried to.." JJ said, tapping his lips
"Mhm" Mike nodded, curious at how JJ felt about it
"Yeaaaa" JJ said "she told me about that"
"Did you talk to him?" Mike asked
"Well.. he had just gotten broken up with, and- I thought about the things I would probably do if Kie broke up with me so I kinda just dropped it after he apologized" JJ explained
Mike shrugged his face, surprised that JJ didn't get mad and punch him.
"Apparently now, he's being a dick though- sorry" he said, covering his mouth since he cussed and mike just laughed "but um- yea that's kinda why I came here. she told me she'd tell me about it today."
"Ahh" mike said, finally understanding as they heard Kies door open and then shut. She came down stairs and looked like she was kind of in a bad mood.
She had both her AirPods in, and her arms were crossed. She braided two stands of hair that framed her face and was in a black cropped top and jeans.
She looked up as she was coming down the stairs, and saw JJ standing at the entrance
"JJ?" She asked, not knowing why he was there. Her face lit up and she took both headphones out and put them back in the case before going up to him and hugging him
"Hey" he said, hugging her back
"What are you doing here?" She asked, looking up at him
"I wanted to see you before school" he smiled "you okay?"
"Yea" she smiled and almost kissed him but then realized her dad was still standing there "I'm fine"
"Y'all better get going or you'll be late" Mike said and Kie went up to him to hug him goodbye. "Bye baby, have a good day. JJ, you stay out of trouble" he teased and they went out to her car.
JJ drove and Kie sat in the passenger seat. She leaned her head down on the center counsel and held one of JJs hands. She pulled her knees into her chest as she kept almost falling asleep in the car.
"Kie" JJ said, a little concerned at how tired she looked. "Really, are you okay?"
"Yea" she mumbled, sitting up a little "just tired"
He drove for a little bit longer, still worried about her. He didn't know what to say to help her.
"do you care if we're a little late?" He asked, looking over at her.
She sat up a little more.
"No?" she said a little confused.
He turned his blinker on Kie laughed as he turned into a fast food restaurant.
