chapter 17: refresh

After resolving things with Kie, I felt refreshed. We had a sleepover in my room, just like the good old days.

Our parents have kept us in the house for almost a week since they were quite angry at us. Or maybe it's just that they didn't want us to be with the Pogues.

They told me and Kie that they would be out for a few days, on the mainland for a little getaway trip. Which led me to an idea: a party.

Me and Kie have either been at home or the Wreck, slaving around for our parents. We needed a break.

"Okay so mom and dad leave tonight. For at least 2 days." Kiara says, eager to plan the party.

"Yep. Tomorrow night we'll have the party. We have tomorrow to get everything setup. I can ask Rafe for alcohol. Does JJ have any kush?"

"Probably."

Because we've been stuck at the house, we haven't really been in contact with any of our friends. Texting them here and there, but not as much as we normally would be.

I wanted to invite Rafe and Sarah. But I knew the Pogues would be there.

However, I thought it would be a good idea to have all of them get along, at least for a night. Plus, Rafe and Sarah knew people, they'd get others to come for sure.

                                        -

Later that night our parents were about to leave.

"Kie, Cass! Come downstairs we're leaving!" Our dad shouts.

We hurry downstairs to hug them goodbye.

"We'll miss you girls. No funny business. We will be calling you, pick up!"

"Bye guys."

Me and Kiara both walk them out to the driveway.

I'm not sure why I was so loving with them. Probably because I was excited for them to leave.

It was around 6:30pm when they left, they wanted to go get dinner and then continue onto their trip.

I pick up my phone and call Rafe.

The phone rings for not even 5 seconds before he picks up.

"Hey princess." I could feel his smirk through the phone.

"Hey, my parents are out for a couple days, me and Kie wanna have a party tomorrow."

"Yeah? Alright, you want me to come or?"

"Maybe." I giggle as a smile slowly slides across my face.

"Hmm, I'm gonna have to check my very busy schedule."

I laugh.

"Hmm. Yeah I think I can squeeze a few hours in between."

"Rafe!"

"I'm joking, I'm joking. Of course I'll come. When is it?"

"Tomorrow, night. Maybe uh 8:30?"

I look towards Kiara as I think, giving her a thumbs up with furrowed brows to see if she's okay with that time.

She sticks her thumb up in return.

"8:30, yeah alright."

"Can you bring drinks?"

"Anything else princess?"

"Nope, just you and the drinks."

"Got it. You wanna come over tonight?"

I peek over again towards Kiara.

We've been having so much fun this past week together. I'm not quite sure I want to let that all go. Plus, If I'm being completely honest, I wanted to invite the Pogues over for a little more quality time. I haven't really interacted much with them ever since... Midsummers.

"Uhhh, I think I'll just stay home tonight. But we'll talk tomorrow, don't miss me too hard." I joke.

"That'll be a tough one sweetheart."

My heart melts every time he calls me either that, or princess.

He makes me feel so good, butterflies flying around in my stomach nonstop. A wave of overwhelming happiness passing right through me.

Once I get off the phone with Rafe, I look at Kiara.

"So, what's going on now?"

She looks up from her phone, after texting, assuming it was the Pogues.

"The boys are coming over."

"Sweet. You think they'll hate me?"

Now, if I'm actually being 100% honest, I'm nervous.

I left with Rafe that night after he punched JJ. I'm such a bad friend.

But I have to own up to all this. I need to make things right with JJ before the party tomorrow.
