betrayal.1

kiara pov:

"right here should be far enough" jj says as we hop off of his bike. i grab the bag and we both run towards the train tracks. jj trips over literally nothing on the way to them. he's always falling over air. "you good?" i say. "yeah i'm fine" he says as he takes the bag out of my hand and grabs the jumper cables. "so what exactly do we do?" i say. "just watch" he says. he puts his hand on the top of the wire and opens the clamp. "here we go" he says. "don't get electrocuted please" i say. "yeah, no promises with that. 3, 2, 1" he counts down as he connects the wires to the tracks. he stands next to me and we both watch the light. "come on" jj says. we watch for a few seconds. "no! shit!" he says. "it didn't work?" i say, staring at the green light. "why didn't it work!?" i say. "that's what it was supposed to do- so that it would change red- oh my god" he says as he puts his hands on the back of his head and starts pacing. "what do we do? we could... throw a tree? on the track and blockade it!?" he says. i furrow my eyebrows and shake my head. "hey... the train touches both parts of the track" i say, picking up one of the clamps at the end of the wire and putting it on the other part of the track. we both turn out attention back to the lights. "come on, we don't have a plan b" i say. the light switches from green to red. "yes!" "yes!" we both say at the same time. "that's what i'm talking about!" he says. we start to walk but jj stops and turns around. he holds his hands out and i slap them. "science" i point both of my fingers at him. "you're a genius. i was gonna do that-" he says. "no it's all you!" i say. "now we wait" he says. we decide to hide behind a tree until the train comes. we're sat waiting when we can hear it getting closer. "this plan might actually work" i say. the train comes to a stop. "okay, they've probably got a few minutes to jack the cross" i say. "this has to work" he says. i look at him. "this could be our last chance to get it" he says. i nod. we hear a car pull up and both look forward. "woah woah" i say. "kie, back up, back up" he says, gently slapping my leg. i grab his arm to keep my balance while i move back. "shit" he says. "no no no, that was not part of the plan" i say. we watch 2 guys in neon yellow vests get out of the truck. they go towards the jumper cables on the track. "what is this bullshit!?" one of the guys say. "oh shit, this is really not good" i say. they take the cables off of the track and talk through their radios a few times, but we can't hear what they say. "do you reckon they had enough time?" i say. he shakes his head. the train stars again. "there goes the plan. we gotta help them" he says. we run through the trees, but jj drops his hat and stops to grab it. "come on!" i say. we get to the bike and he reaches in his pocket to grab his keys. he pulls the keys out but something falls out of his pocket. he gets on the bike as i crouch down. "hey, you dropped your-"i say but i stop when my heart drops. "why do you have this?" i say as i pick up my dad's money clip. he sighs and closes his eyes. "if i'm gonna get accused of being a thief i may as well get something out of it". i shake my head in disappointment. "you're just giving them ammunition" i say. "ammunition for what kie? they already hate me" he says. "they didn't have a reason, you're giving them a reason" i say. "who cares kie? we don't have time for this. get on" he says. "i do. i care!" i say. "well you shouldn't! it doesn't matter!" he says. "it does! you're giving them more of a reason! you're proving them right!" i say. "kie we don't have time for this!" he says. "get on the bike, kiara" he says. just then a truck comes swerving round the corner. "that's top" he says. and then we see a box on the back of the truck. "and that's the cross! get on!" he says. i get on the back of the bike and wrap my arms around his waist. i look down, still thinking about what i just found out. my dad was awful and he had no right to say what he said to and about jj, but jj is giving them a right. if it was just my parents i would probably understand but jj didn't think about me. how i'm in the middle. we follow topper, sarah, cleo, pope and the cross in toppers truck ahead of us. i hear sirens behind us. "jayj..." "i know, i know" he says. my heart is pounding and i'm freaking out. jj drives the bike to the side of topper's truck. "what are you doing!?" i say, but he ignores me. "top keeping going straight!" jj shouts. "y'all be careful, alright!" topper shouts. the police aren't far behind us. "get ready to jump" jj says. "what!?" i shout. "what!?" pope shouts. "have you lost your mind!?" i shout. "probably, get ready to jump!" jj says. "come on, i got you!" pope says. "jj. what are you gonna do!?" i say. "draw the cops" he says. "why do i need to jump?" i say. he doesn't say anything. "jj!" "i don't want anything to happen to you. jump!" jj says. "i don't want something to happen to you!" i say. "kiara!" he shouts. "please!" he says. i look at the truck next to me. pope holds his arms out. "don't do anything dangerous!" i say as i get ready to jump. "careful!" pope says. i stand up and put my hand on jj's shoulder. i put my leg on the truck as i grab pope's arm. i take a deep breathe. jj tries to stay as steady as possible. i take another deep breathe before letting go of jj's shoulder and jumping. pope catches me and i land on top of the box the cross is in. "are you okay?" cleo says. i nod and sit in between pope and cleo as i watch jj. he goes way behind us and turns around. "what's he gonna do!?" cleo says. "i don't know, and i don't think he does either" pope says. jj drives towards the cops and throws a rock at the front window. "oh my god" i say. the cops stop and turn around chasing jj, "he did it" cleo says. "ohhh shit" i say as i watch jj get further and further away. topper keeps driving forwards until we can't see them anymore. "topper stop!" i shout. "we gotta go get him!" cleo says. "absolutely not!" top shouts. "topper, we're going to get jj!" sarah shouts. he keeps driving. "please! they're gonna arrest him. we can't just leave him" sarah says. topper shakes his head before stopping and turning around. "hurry!" pope shouts. "move it!" i shout. we go back form the road we just drove up and we begin to hear the sirens again. "topper turn here!" pope shouts. "no! i'm getting us out of here!" he shouts. "topper!" sarah says. "turn!" cleo shouts. "nah nah" topper says. "topper! yes!" sarah says, she grabs the wheel and makes the truck swerves round the corner. "there he is!" pope shouts, pointing at the road parallel to us. jj is driving up it, followed by the cops. "how are we gonna get to him!?" sarah shouts, but none of us say anything. we keep driving forward until we start to drive towards a bridge. "no way, he's up on the overpath!" sarah says. we all look at the bridge above us to see jj driving across it with the police behind him. a car drives towards jj. "oh my-" pope is cut off when topper slams the breaks on as jj's bike crashes through the barrier of the bridge and in front of us. "pope! go!" i say as i push pope to get out of the truck. sarah gets out of passenger seat and runs towards the bike at the same time as me. the bike is destroyed, but there's no sign of jj. "jayj!?" i shout. "jj!?" sarah shouts. "where is he!?" i shout. "maybe he's up on the bridge" pope says. i look up to see the police car smashed into the car that jj tried to dodge and ended up like this. "no no no" i cry, running my fingers through my hair and crouching down. "jj!?" pope shouts again. i've lost him. he's not here. he's gone. and the last thing i said to him was arguing. "now, i would like to say... i did that on purpose" a voice from behind me says. i take my head out of my hands and look up. "but that was the gnarliest power slide i've ever done". my mouth drops. "you're alive!" pope shouts. "you're alive!" he repeats as he hugs jj. i stand up. "damn that was gnarly!" topper shouts. "that was trucking dude-" jj is cut off by sarah pushing him then hugging him. "we really thought you did it this time jayj" she says. "okay, now the pleasantries are nice but we should really get going" pope says, and him, topper, cleo and sarah run back to the truck. i move a step closer to jj and he does the same. i honestly don't know wether i want to hug him or slap him. i shake my head. "don't ever do that again" i say. he bites his lip and looks down before putting his hat on his head. he goes to say something but he's interrupted. "hey!". we look up to see a cop shouting down at us. "stay right there!" he shouts. jj grabs my hand and runs to the truck. we jump in and topper drives forward, avoiding the bike wreckage.
