Meant To Be

~Chapter nineteen~

The beeping of my heart monitor brings me back to my consciousness. Still feeling droopy, I look around at my surroundings and see a very distressed, cute boy sitting next to me with his face in his hands.

"Hi.." I softly say.

He jolts up and takes my hands into his and smiles at me. "You made me worried sick, Azaleà. Do you realize that," he chuckled softly.

"my bad," I smile back, "how long have I been out of it?" I questioned the blonde. "Just a day. Your dad stopped by I told him what you did and he felt so accomplished of you. He gave me a wad of cash to give to for, 'along the road."

"What did I do again?" I question as my memory is a bit foggy.

"You tried to steer the gun away from Rafe but unfortunatly you were too late and he shot sherrif Peterkin. Then Rafe looked at you and said the same thing you said. 'Karma's a bitch.' He shot you three times before Sarah took the gun from Rafe's hand and took the bullets out of it before smashing it on the ground love. But you survived him, again. You are so brave for that. I admire you, Azaleà Lopez."

Tears were forming in my eyes watching JJ telling me what I did, he was proud of me. For once somebody was proud of me. I smiled and tried to wipe my tears away but J grabbed my hand's softy and held them. "I love you so much Azaleà. More than anything. You mean so much to me."

"I love you too JJ, you have helped me through so much this year. I owe you all the credit,            "I smile as I lean into him and he kisses me so softly not wanting to hurt me. 

I've longed for this, I drop his hands and intertwine my fingers into his hair as he deepens the kiss. He pauses and looks up at me and says, "Did we get the gold back?" I asked the blonde while he just looked down at me. 

"No we did not, and for some reason, I'm glad. I haven't lost you. I'm so deeply proud and in love with you princess."

"You are?" I asked him not being sure if he really really meant it. "Of course I am darling!" 

"What about John B?" I asked now worried. "Uhh.. Ward spoke over in the microphone from Peterkin that they needed an ambulance and not short after they arrived." He started. "They all think John B did the murder of sherrif Peterkin." 

"They what!?" I yell angry. "What the fuck!"

"Azaleà it's okay sit back down you need to rest. I'm going to sign you out so we can go back to the Chatêau. Okay?"

"Azaleà!! God you're okay!" John B runs up to me and hugs me. "I'm so sorry I didn't do anything!" He apologizes. I smile at him and started talking. "Hey Jombee it's fine!" 

"What did you just call me?" The brunette boy asks. "J-Jombee?" 

I nodded and winked at JJ. "Yeah, you like it?" I say smiling. "Fuck off Azaleà!" He laughs. "Oh yeah and Pope is Popey's brain and Kiara is Kikiroo."

"Oh my god guys!" Kiara says while smacking my arm a bit. "Oh my god I haven't got the best one yet!" I smirked at JJ. "Rafe's nickname is Rafey Has No Wifey" 

We all laughed as we got inside of the chatêau. "Should we do a kegger tonight?" JJ asks the group while holding me tight from behind. 

"JJ, maybe if you aren't bringing a gun this time?" I chuckled. "Is that okay for you?" I looked up to see him smiling down at me. "I won't shoot Topper this time." He laughed.

"Hey hey, we're also not going to shoot someone else!" Pope quickly said. "Fine." JJ answered the brunette. 

"Do y'all want to hold like a tiny kegger just for us like no other people in the 'cat's ass'?" I asked the teens while smiling. "Oh my god you remembered!"
