JJ's POV:

I showed up at the Chateau and when I arrived, I saw Kie was sitting there next to Sarah. I have no idea why she's home. She looked at me so did Sarah. I looked over at John B and he said, "I saw her earlier today but I didn't know she'd be here. I just wanted to go fishing"

Kie walked up to me and said, "I walked into my room last night and you were asleep in my bed"

"Sorry, your parents invited me to stay"

"I don't care, they like you more than me now. Funny how that works.. You have my parents, my house on Figure Eight, my car and I'm the one with nothing"

"You let me borrow your car and you can have it back anytime you want. Your parents were just helping me out after my dad.. Well, it doesn't matter because I'm not staying there anymore. You've made it perfectly clear that we're done" I said getting on the boat to go fishing with John B

Once we were out in the marsh, away from the girls he said, "Damn, that's rough"

"This is exactly why I don't do relationships"

John B and I spent the evening fishing the marsh and I spent the night at the Chateau. I was sitting by the fire with John B when Kie came and sat next to me.

John B took the hint and he went inside where Sarah was. Kie didn't say anything, she just sat with me. I was the first to speak when I asked, "Why are you home from school?"

"I don't know... I was on my way to class but then I asked my friend to bring me to the airport and I ended up here"

I gave her a small smile. She looked exhausted, mentally and physically. I just wanted to help her, to reach out and hug her and hold her and promise her that I would fix whatever was bothering her, but I didn't. I just sat there with her and neither of us spoke.

"So your dad's back?" She asked trying to make conversation

"I'm handling it" I snapped

She gently reached out and cupped my face in her hands over my bruise. I was fighting back tears as I looked away from her. I could see her trying to be strong for me. She slowly inched closer to my lips as I did the same. I would have kissed her too, but she pulled back.

"Kie, what changed?" I asked

"Living with Gavin and his friends" She answered quietly

"Did you sleep with him?" I asked

She didn't answer. She looked into my eyes and then she looked down and her eyes filled with tears, just like mine did. She didn't have to answer.

"I don't know if I can ever get over that... I'm sorry" I said getting up and heading inside to the spare room

"Jayge... Wait" She called out but I kept walking

I couldn't believe she slept with Gavin. I didn't think I had anything to worry about. I thought she loved me. I could get over a date or even a kiss, but having sex with him. I don't know if I can forgive her for that.

Kie's POV:

It's been two days and JJ has been ignoring all my calls and texts. I've barely gotten out of bed. I was half hoping he'd show up here as most of his stuff is still in my bedroom. All I wanted was for him to walk into my room and crawl into bed with me.

Sarah came over today to check on me because I've been ignoring her calls and texts. She basically told me I need to take a shower and figure my shit out. My mom came into my room next and asked when I was going back to school. I told her that I didn't know yet but was staying on top of my classes.

"Kiara, what happened between the two of you? What made you decide to break up with him?" My mom asked in a caring way and not in a judgemental way

I took a breath and said, "It wasn't just one thing but it has to do with Gavin and living in a house with him and all his friends"

My mom looked serious and asked, "They didn't do anything to do, did they?"

"No, it's nothing like that. They're all amazing people. It's all on me"

"Don't blame yourself too much, honey" My mom hugged me and I started crying

"I didn't mean for it to happen... It just happened and I woke up the next morning next to him and my first thought was how I was going to tell JJ. Then I realized how I actually enjoy hanging out and being around Gavin and I realized that it's not fair for me to do that to JJ"

My mom looked at me and even though she'd never admit it, I could tell she was disappointed, ashamed, embarrassed, and even upset. She gave me a small smile and said, "Honey, you'll figure out what to do, you always do"

She left my room and I checked my phone. I had no messages from JJ and a bunch from Gavin over the past few days

Gavin: Hey, I heard you went to the airport. I hope everything is okay. Please text me so I know you're safe

Gavin: Kiara, we should really talk about what happened as I have a feeling that's why you left

Gavin: I'm worried about you

Gavin: I miss you

I didn't want him to be worried so I sent him a simple text message.

Kie: I'm at home. I'm safe. Don't worry
