If I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too
Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe
All the hell you gave me?
'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you
'Til my dying day

----

And I can go anywhere I want
Anywhere I want, just not home
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
But you would still miss me in your bones
And I still talk to you (when I'm screaming at the sky)
And when you can't sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies)

AS I was walked back inside after Carter left, I saw Kie and JJ filling up cardboard boxes with essentials that my brother and Sarah might need. 

Kie hadn't asked her father's permission, but oh well...I guess, she's choosing the 'will cross that bridge when we get to it' option as she brings out packages of food.

"Where's Carter?" Kie asked as I walked in and went towards the bar counter.

"He had to go somewhere..." I replied, giving her same answer he gave me. 

"Now? In the time we needed him to protect us?" Kie questioned. 

"You pick a bone with him later on, Kie...it doesn't matter, he thinks whatever it is he's going to do will work.." I shrugged, leaning my elbows on the counter as I watched her. "So, I see no point in arguing with him anymore...I'm worried about JB and Sarah," I sighed. 

"Everything will alright, Lils...have faith okay? If Carter thinks there's something he can do this time around, to help...let him," JJ assures.

"Yeah.." I nodded as I stood up and went into the back kitchen, to grab more food as Kie accompanied me, while JJ continued to pack. "What happened with Pope after I left and sneaked into Tannyhill?" I asked her. 

"He told me he's in love with me...but...I rejected him and he's not taking it well, now," Kie sighed.

"Pftt... well, I can see that," I rolled my eyes. "But I mean, what happened?" I pressed. I wanted to know...it's weird for me...but we are still girl friends...we should still continue to gossip about our love lives and boys. 

"What happened is that he was so stoned and high to understand anything from my side..." Kie started as we both walk out from the kitchen. "I was honest with him...told him that I wanted different things...and he just--"

"You sure he wasn't just being weird Pope?" JJ asked. We placed our packages on the counter and grabbed them, packing them in the box.

"It wasn't really the kinda thing that needed interpretation," Kie deadpanned at my boyfriend as she handed him two loaves of bread and some juice cartoons.
