039. RAFE JUMPED US

Scarlett's eyes shot open at the sound of a door shutting. She immediately sat up and began to panic before she noticed her sister sitting right next to her.

"Hey." Sarah smiled.

"Where are we? What time is it?" Scarlett groaned, running her hands through her hair and over her face.

"We're at Topper's house. He let us stay the night." The blonde explained to her sister. "He's going to get the Malibu right now to take us home. How are you feeling?"

"I feel like shit," Scarlett answered. "You?"

"I feel like I got hit by a bus," Sarah spoke, making a smile break out on both girl's faces.

"My head is pounding." Scarlett rubbed her temples and Sarah nodded.

"Yeah, it's probably because of the gash on the side of your forehead. How the hell did that happen?" Sarah questioned her sister, cringing as she stared at the gash which had dried blood all around it.

"Rafe punched me and my head flew back and I hit a pipe." Scarlett groaned as she looked down at the trey on Sarah's lap. She grabbed the croissant that was on a plate and immediately took a big bite.

"I can see where he punched you. You have a bruise on your cheek." Sarah told her, taking a sip of the orange juice that was on the tray as well.

"I probably look like I actually got hit by a bus." Scarlett rolled her eyes, not even wanting to think about how horrible she looked.

After a few minutes, Topper's boat was ready and the twins hopped on. They told him to take them to the Chateau.

Scarlett smiled when they approached John B's dock, but her face went blank when she noticed that John B was sitting next to Kie on the HMS Pogue.

"John B?" Sarah questioned in disbelief. She stood up and helped Scarlett up. "John B!" She smiled.

"Holy shit!" Scarlett let out an airy laugh as they came closer and closer to the doc. "JJ your plan really worked." She laughed and the blonde boy shook his head.

"Oh my God. He's out." Sarah let out an airy laugh as she grabbed Scarlett's hand and ran towards the front of the boat.

"There he is." Topped muttered, but both girls ignored him.

Sarah grabbed the rope and handed it to Pope when they reached the boat. Sarah climbed off first and immediately engulfed John B into a hug.

Scarlett climbed off of the boat and right into JJ's arms. The boy held a tight grip on her, almost like if he let go she'd disappear again.

"Where the hell were you last night? I was worried." JJ asked his girlfriend, but she ignored his question and turned to John B.

It wasn't that she didn't want to tell him she was with Topper all night, she just wanted to hear about how John B got out.

"How'd you get out, JB?" Scarlett questioned the brunette boy and he looked over at her then at Sarah with a large grin.

"Uh, they dropped all the charges." He smiled.

"What?" Sarah questioned in disbelief and both girls let out small laughs.

"Yeah, no, yeah, I'm a free man." Sarah brought John B into a large hug as he spoke.

"That's amazing." She cheered.

"I know. It's great, but... but listen Sarah, Scarlett, they're coming after Rafe." John B looked at both of the girls with a face filled with sorrow. Though he hated the Kook, he felt sorry for the twins because that's their older brother who they grew up with.
