Happy Anniversary

Shit goes down 😝

☸

Jade had now woken up and she was laying in Kie's bed alone with a faint headache. That's what you get when you don't smoke weed for a month straight. She wasn't sure what time it was exactly, but she knew it was around 9 o'clock. Kie was out getting the food for tonight for her parent's anniversary celebration later on tonight.

She sits up from the bed and yawns loudly before getting changed into real clothes and walking out of the house to the front porch.

"I don't want to hurt Jade." A very familiar voice says.

"Hurt me?" Jade asks, walking towards the couch that Kie and Sarah were sitting down on.

"Hey!" Kie smiles, sitting up straight as well as Sarah.

"Hey." Jade smiles, sitting down next to the pair. "Where have you been Sarah? I couldn't find you all of yesterday." She asks, looking at her with a confused look.

"Oh. Well, uh... look." Sarah looks down with a sad face clearly trying to avoid eye contact. "I was..." Her mood suddenly heightening. "I was looking for you." She says, smiling at her.

"Uh, ok. What for?" She asks, nodding her head.

"Well, I was just... looking." Sarah says, looking at Kie for help.

"Yeah, she needed to find a place for you and her to stay cause she was worried... and stuff." Kie adds, nodding her head.

"Ok... look I'm going to head to the Chateau to change for the party tonight. It's at 5, right?" Jade asks, standing up and grabbing a bike.

"Uh, yeah. Talk later?" Kie asks, standing up.

"Yeah, of course." Jade nods, "See you Sar." Jade smiles.

"Bye." Sarah says, closing her eyes and nodding her head.

"JJ?" Jade asks, walking into the run down house. "John B? Big John?" She yells, sitting down on the couch when she loses hope of finding them in there. "Great."

Looking around it was clear that the three of them had been here recently. JJ's old but still functional phone was sitting on the rotting table and John B's shirt that she had last seen him wear was scrunched up in a messy ball in the corner. She gets up from her spot on the couch and continues to walk into the room she had dubbed as hers when Big John first went missing to get changed. She enters the room and opens the closet door that was barely holding together. She squats down and pulls a variety of decent looking clothes from the floor and hangers and stands back up to assess the situation. Her actions are stopped when she sees that JJ's gun is hidden in those said clothes. "JJ." She whispers, picking it up and throwing it to the side.

As the blonde goes to stand up a rough hand reaches around her mouth and pulls her towards their body. Jade screams into the hand and begins to struggle against it. She continues to fight until a very familiar voice pauses her movements and causes her to push away from them violently.

"Jade. It's me." Ward says, watching as the girl turns around with a betrayed face. "I'm not going to hurt you. I promise."

"What the hell!" Jade shouts, observing his all-black outfit and his new cane. "What are you doing here?" She asks, her breathing heavier than before. "You could get arrested!"

"Your brother needs some snapping back into reality." He says, sitting down in an old chair. "He melted the cross." Ward explains, looking down and brushing his hair out of his face.h
