betrayal. 2

jj pov:

the next day we all go to the chateau to see big john. i still haven't spoken to kiara, i'd rather not. if her parents are gonna see me as a thief then there's no changing that. they hate me and they think i'm just like my father. i know i shouldn't have taken mike's money clip, but he deserved it. however, kiara didn't.

"hey!" big john waves as we all walk towards him. i hug him and he hugs me back. "jj! you haven't changed a bit" he says. i move back and he hugs kiara. "hey there, kie" he says. "we've all missed you so much!" kie says. "look at you, big guy!" he says as he hugs pope. i look at kie but she avoids eye contact and looks at sarah. i jump on big john's back as john b walks outside. we laugh and mess around with him for a few minutes before we sit down. big john sits in the hammock, john b sits on a stool in between me and sarah, cleo sits next to sarah and pope and kie stand in front of us. kie doesn't look at me the whole time. she barely even talks. and it's because of me.

"so we went to find the other piece of this like sacred rock in charleston" john b says, "sacred rock?" pope says. "yeah... it's like a cuboid and has symbols on it" john b says. "like, glyphs?" kie says. "yeah" john b says. "i saw it, when i was at singh's. well it was like in a painting" kie says, i can tell she doesn't want to remember any of it, any of what happened at singh's place. "did he say anything?, like involving it?" john b says. "uh, except for saying he got it stolen from him, and then telling me he would kill me if i didn't help him, not really. just that it leads to el dorado" kie says. i feel sorry for her. i mean, we all do. she was locked in that place, told she was gonna get killed, practically watched portis get killed, and all with a person who's tried to kill all of us multiple times. "yeah but, it led to nothing. just a dead end" john b says. me and sarah both look at john b at the same time, catching each others eye. she shakes her head. she can tell something's off and so can i. "so that's it? the gold, the cross, and now el dorado. we're down 3 for 3 guys" pope says, throwing his can.he chuckles. "great!" he says, walking away. cleo gets up and follows him. kie forces a smile as she says "see you, john b". he nods and she walks past me. she looks at me, but looks away when i look back. "i'm gonna go fishing. thanks for the beer" i say. i place the can down and follow kie. "kie" i say. she stops and sighs. "are you mad?" i say. "obviously" she says. i nod. "my dad didn't have a right to say those things to you. but you're giving him the right by stealing from him. from my family. you didn't think about me in this situation" she says, before continuing to walk. i don't chase after her. i let her walk.

kiara pov:

"i mean, he's a thief! why would he steal my money clip!?" my dad says. "okay.. well, we're not pressing charges right?" my mom says. my dad doesn't say anything. "dad.. please" i say. "okay, fine. no charges. but you're dropping that little gangster jj, right?" my dad says. i look down and nod. "i know... he stole" i say. "good. i'm proud of you kie. this is the first step" my dad says. i don't say anything. suddenly there's a knock on the door. we all look over. "sarah?" my mom says. i stand up. "i got it". i walk over and open the door. "hey" i say. "hi" sarah says. "are you alright?" i say. "yeah, i don't mean to bother if this is a bad time..." she says. "no, you're good" i say. "okay, uh.. basically, me and john b kinda got into like, a little fight..." she says. "yeah, he's been acting so off since his dad got back" i say. "and umm.. i don't have anywhere to stay, cleo's at pope's, and rafe's at tannyhill... and i was just wondering... if i could like, stay here with you?" she says. i nod. "yeah, yeah of course-" "hold on, no. no!" my dad cuts me off. i furrow my eyebrows and look at him. "come on kiara. we're respecting your boundaries, you have to respect ours too" my mom says. i put my hands out. "look, sarah. i'm sorry, you're always welcome here. but come back tomorrow. right now we just need some family time" my dad says. "yeah.. of course" sarah says. "i'm sorry..." i say. "no.. it's fine. i'll probably just hit up.. jj or something" she says. i nod. "sorry" sarah says to my parents before walking away from the door. i turn around and close the door. "she has nowhere to go!" i say. "kiara" my dad says. "you can't just push her away like that!" i say. "kiara! i told you! tomorrow!" my dad says. "it's not like she's asking for a sleepover or something! she has nowhere to-" "enough" my mom cuts me off. i sigh. "anyways..." my mom says, sitting back down. i roll my eyes before sitting back down too. "kie, we think it's a good idea if you see someone" my dad says. "what?" i say. "like, a professional. like a therapist" my mom says. i shake my head. "no way". "i know, it doesn't sound great but you should talk about what has happened. you've been through alot the past few weeks and i think you should let your emotions out" my mom says. i shake my head again. "i don't need... help" i say. "the appointment is booked for today. give it a try" my dad says. i sigh. "look... give it a shot. if you don't like it, you don't have to do it again. we're just doing what's best for you" my mom says. i nod. "okay, fine" i say, standing up and going towards the stairs. "kie, where are you going?" my dad says. "to have a shower" i say before walking up the stairs.
