JJ's POV:

Kie and I were texting and it seemed super flirty. She was going to come over after work and I know she was stressed about the whole money thing. I planned a little something to help her relax. I was going to have her take a hot bath and then give her a massage. I even went out and bought the bath salts she loves. But she texted me and said she couldn't come over. It was weird. She seemed mad or upset.

I brushed it off and I cleaned up the candles out of the bathroom and went to bed. Today was a really shitty day and I wished I could at least hugged my girl today.

I didn't see or talk to Kie at all the next day. The day after that we were both at the Chateau and she seemed more distant than usual. She came over to me and asked, "Can we talk?"

"Yeah" I said getting up ready to follow her but Pope tagged along and we ended up not talking

I wondered what she wanted to talk about. It seemed pretty serious and her mood seemed off too. I brushed it off and figured she'll tell me later. However, we never ended up talking later. I went to work the next day after school and as expected, it sucked. I really needed to find a new job but nobody wants to hire a kid with the last name Maybank.

Kie had to come in and cover for someone's shift and I wasn't focused. I turned around and bumped into Kie who dropped a whole tray of food on the floor and the plates all broke.

"Watch where you're fucking walking" Kie snapped at me 

I've done this before to her. She hates when people look at her and everyone was watching. I started cleaning up the mess and she was now pissed off. I really didn't mean to piss her off. It was an accident. I just wanted to talk to her and know what she wanted to talk about.

She wouldn't even look at me for the rest of the shift. She came over that night and I got mad and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

"Please just calm down before we talk" She said nervously

"Are you pregnant?" I asked as suddenly that thought popped into my head

"What? No!" She said and I was relieved

"Then this is about the money... I thought we moved past that. You know I didn't take the money. We were fine the other day, you were so flirty with me when we were texting and then you flipped a switch"

We were in the middle of a huge fight. We've never fought over anything before. She yelled at me about the money. She was more upset about how I got caught with it twice. She wasn't accusing me of taking it, more just mad about how it makes me look and how it makes things that much worse with her dad.

I told her it wasn't me and then she asked, "Well then who stole it?"

"I don't know, but it wasn't me" I yelled back, hurt that now she seemed to not believe me

Kie grabbed her stuff and looked back at me and said, "By the way, in case you care, I kissed William"

"What?" I asked surprised and hoping I heard her wrong

"William and I kissed," She said clearly with tears in her eyes

I felt like I had been punched in the gut. Why did she kiss him? Why was she telling me like this? This must have been what she wanted to talk about

"You kissed William?"

"Yeah, I did.." She said bitchy

I never cried, but suddenly, I found tears forming in my eyes. They were slowly dripping down my cheeks. Kie didn't say anything. She looked down and I noticed her hands shaking.
