automatic love- jiara outer banks fanfic

chapter 4

"why are we here? you hate keggers" kiara says to sarah as they get out of the car. "because i need to let loose" sarah says, grabbing a drink. "why? are you okay?" kie says. "yeah, i think. i just can't figure out my feelings right now. i honestly don't know how i feel. and i'm tired of thinking about it. getting drunk is the only way i can stop" sarah says. "yeah, i feel the same. well, i know that i feel something for jj. i just don't know if i want to. or if he feels something for me" kiara says. sarah snorts. "have you seen the way he looks at you?" sarah says. kie shakes her head, even though she has. she just doesn't want to get her hopes up when he probably doesn't like her like that.

"bro, what is up with you and sarah?" pope says to john b. "whattt what are you even talking about?" john b says, scratching the back of his neck. "the weird stares, y'all like, look into each others eyes for like a minute straight then turn around and sit awkwardly while you blush at the floor" jj says. "i blush? yeah, right. i don't blush" john b rolls his eyes. "you do!" pope says. "jj you do too! with kie!" john b says. "dude obviously, she's literally the hottest girl i've ever seen and when i flirt with her she doesn't tell me to fuck off" jj says. pope chuckles. "she does flirt with you a little" he says. "exactly" jj says. "then maybe she likes you. but whatever happens jj, don't break her heart" john b says. "yeah, we may have only known her for like a week but she's nice, and we like her. we don't wanna lose her" pope says. jj nods. "i won't".

"where are they? it's been 5 minutes and they left at the same time as us" sarah says, looking around. "oh, here they are" kie says, pointing at the boys. "what took so long?! did pope drive?" sarah says. "why do you keep criticising everyone's driving?" jj says. "because, yours is reckless, and yours is slow" sarah says, pointing at jj then pope. jj rolls his eyes and looks at kie. "you still soaked?" jj says. "nah" kiara says, looking down at her clothes. just a small top and her denim shorts.

sarah finishes her second drink. "time for another one!" she says. "sarah! no no-" kie says. "i'm fineee i told you, letting lose" sarah says as she cracks open the beer can. kie rolls her eyes and looks back at jj. "are you okay?" she says. he nods. "oh, yeah" he says. she nods before turning her attention to john b. "how long were you guys here before us?" he says. "like, 5 minutes" kiara says. "ah" john b says. "yeah! 5 whole minutes because y'all can't drive!" sarah curses. "okay sarah" john b says.

the pogues have been there for a few hours now. sarah is mortal and dancing with john b, pope is with a few people he knows and kiara is with jj.

"why is sarah getting drunk?" jj says. "uh, she wants to 'let loose'. she's overwhelmed by her feelings right now and she's decided that the only way to get rid of them was to make it so that she can't think straight" kiara says. jj nods. "relatable". "you've done that before?" kie says. jj nods. "loads". "does it help?" kie says. jj shrugs his shoulders. "for a few hours, then you start thinking again when the alcohol begins to wear off. and you wake up the next morning hungover and still having those thoughts. it doesn't get rid of them, it just pushes them to the side for a little bit" jj says. kiara nods. "you really have a way with words, jj" kiara says. "i could actually say the same thing about you" jj says. "really?" kie giggles. "yeah... when you talk if feels like i'm listening to a book or something, like.. a good one that's not boring" jj says. "did you just compare me to a book?" kiara laughs. "yeah... but in a good way" jj says. "how can a book be good? they're so boring" kie says. "yeah but you're like, a different book. a special book" jj says. "special?" kie says. "very special" jj says. kie smiles, and they make eye contact for a few seconds, before they're interrupted by a very drunk sarah.

"kiara! bitch come on!" sarah says, garbbing kie's arm. "what?" kie says. "sorry jj, i gotta steal her for a little time" sarah slurs as she drags kie away. "what do you want?" kie says. "i need you to- to stay with me" sarah says. "why?" kie says. "because drunk words are sober thoughts, and i'm very drunk right now. i'm scared of what i'll saayyy" sarah says. "o-kay, think it's time to go home sarah" kie says. "no! no you can't! my dad- he'll kill me if i go home like this!" sarah says. kie sighs. john b comes up to them. "wassup?" he says. sarah let's out a small, quiet scream, causing john b to furrow his eyebrows. "she needs to go home, but she doesn't want her dad to find out she's drunk" she says. "but she's 18? she's allowed to drink?" john b says. "what do you think ward cameron would say if his daughter turned up at 2 am, very intoxicated from beers?" kie says. "fair point. you can stay at mine" john b says. kie nods. "okay".

"uhm, you two can sleep in the spare room" john b says to kie who's dragging sarah through the house. "thanks" kie says, practically throwing sarah inside the room. "what is actually wrong with her?" kie says. "what do you mean?" john b says. she shakes her head. "she got this drunk so she could get something, off her mind. but now she thinks she's gonna tell everyone about that something because she can't control what leaves her mouth right now, and now i have to babysit her" kie says. john b chuckles. "drinking doesn't get rid of the thoughts, if just pushes them to the side for a little" he says. "that's what jj said" kie says. john b smiles. "yeah he's the one that taught me that" john b says. kie smiles. "he's actually pretty smart with words. since i've known him he's made some very valid points" kie says. "he thinks the same about you" john b says. kie raises her eyebrows and smirks. "he's like, talked about me?" kie says. john b snorts. "all the time kie". "what does-" "kiara!" sarah cuts kie off. "shut up!" kie shouts back. "what does he like, say?" kie says. "kieeeee!" sarah shouts. kie sighs and john b chuckles. "if you wait, he might tell you himself" he says, pushing kie inside the room with sarah.

jj and pope get back a few minutes later, as pope drove. and like sarah said, pop drives slow. jj and pope both sleep on the couch and john b sleeps in his room.

"hey kie?" sarah says. "mhm?" "will you ever leave me?" sarah says. "what?" kie says. "will you ever leave me?" sarah repeats. "where is this coming from?" kie says. "everyone does. everyone always leaves me. will you?" sarah says. "no. never" kie says. "do you promise?" sarah says. "i promise. you're stuck with me" kie says. sarah laughs slightly before smacking her hand over her mouth and running to the bathroom. "here we go" kie says to herself as she follows the blonde.

she sits on the floor in front of the toilet, her head leaning over it. "oh- okay, come on" kie says, grabbing sarah's hair and tying it back in a ponytail. sarah leans back and wipes her mouth. "are y'all good!?" pope calls out. "yeah!" "no!" kie and sarah say at the same time. sarah leans back over the toilet and starts being sick again. kie sighs as she waits for her to stop. this is going to be a long night.
