Is it love or... ( Jj Maybanks )

Chapter sixteen

Sarah held the crying girl stroking her hair.
"We have to get you back to the chateau" Sarah whispered it was dark and they were in a doggie place.
"No I look like this they will ask questions" Gigi sniffed whipping her tears away but it was no use as more fell.
"Gigi these people love you they just want you safe." Sarah said taking a deep breath with the girl. "Come on" Sarah said helping to girl up. The time flashed midnight on Sarah's phone by the time they made it to the chateau. Gigi was still a mess her legs shaking. Her eyes still crying. John b came running out.
"Gigi" John b ran up the girls hugging Sarah then Gigi. He held Gigi in his arms. Gig just started to cry again.
"I've got you" John b said kissing her head.
Sarah's eyes watered. The rest of the pogues came running out kie was the fist to get to her friends crashing into her.
"Oh my god I was worried" kie cried.
"I'm sorry" Gigi whispered. John b joined the hug so did pope and then jj. His eyes burning. Sarah stood there unsure of what to.
"Come on Sarah" Gigi smiled. Sarah join the hug and smiled tears running down her face.

Gigi wondered around chateau everyone had been very quiet towards her. She sat down on a chair and sighed. Jj walked into the kitchen. He saw the girl he smile flat and tears pouring from her eyes. He had a sudden urge of regret. He should have stop her. He could have stopped her but no he didn't. He walked over to her. Sitting on the floor in front of her .
"Please forgive me" jj whispered.
"What" Gigi asked confused
"I could have stopped you from going but I didn't do anything" jj said resting his head on her knee. Gigi ran her fingers through his hair sighing.
"It wasn't your fault" Gigi said holding his hand.
"I just wish.." jj stopped when the girl got up. He got up with her. She immediately hugged jj. He also immediately hugged back. They both took a deep breath.
"You know I think your hugs are better than kie's" Gigi smiled at him.
"Really" jj smiled back look into her eyes
"Yep. Just don't tell her" Gigi smiled. The hugged for a few more seconds before Gigi smiled and say she was going to head to bed.
Jj squeezed her one last time before letting her go to the spare room knowing he would have to sleep on the sofa bed but he didn't mind.

"Don't you think it's mad that they are all lovey dovey when they use to be at each other throats" John b said to the group. Sarah had gone home after a small conversation with Gigi. They had spoken about how Sarah was always there for her even if there past was rough.
"Yeah next think we know they will be exploring each other's throat" pope laughed.
"Shut up pope" jj said walking over and sitting down next to John b.
"Well it's true" pope said putting his hands up.
"So what do we do know. Do we pretend we don't notice or do we ask or.." John b asked.
"You are such an overprotective brother" jj smiled.
"I think we just carry on as normal. She means to be normal so" pope smiles

The next week was slow. Kie was working because someone was sick and her mum asked her to fill in. Gigi had been sleeping for most of the day. Pope was helping his dad more. And John b was with Sarah. Jj well he was...

"Shut up jj" the girl laughed. She placed her towel on the beach
"No i think it's funny" jj laughed at her.
"I'm sure you think had pope being pussy whipped is funny" Gigi said taking her top and shorts off. They were on the beach. Everyone else was busy and the heat was crazy. It was going to be the hottest week in the obx.
Gigi had thought of the idea. They were sat around the chateau doing nothing like the did yesterday so she thought the beach would entertain them and maybe cool them down.
"Well take your top off. I took mine off" Gigi said unpacking the other towel
"Wow someone is eager to see my abs" jj said taking his top off.
"Sure" Gigi scoffed. Secretly she would enjoy the fact the jj was shirtless. And jj would secretly enjoy that she was in her bikini.
"Did you bring anything to smoke" Gigi asked looking through the bag.
"Yep" jj said popping the 'p'
"Okay we will save that for later" Gigi has getting up looking at the beach. It wasn't a very popular part of the beach she would come her as a child with her mother and fathers when things were normal. She smiled remembering the fond memories. She then turned to jj.
"First one in gets in gets carried back" Gigi shouted as she took off down the beach. Jj turned to see the girl already half way down the beach. Gigi was tall, so running was easy for her. He had always got a super model vibe off her. She was elegant when she want to be. He laughed to himself as he ran after her.
"Come on old man" Gigi shouted laughing as she ran into the water. Jj was quick on her heels.
The water was cold making Gigi scream.
"Oh my god it's cold" she laughed as she watched jj run towards her.
"It's about to get much colder" jj shouted pulling the girl into the water.
She screamed as the cold salty water hit her skin. She felt jj's hands around her waist bring her back up from the water.
"Jj" she screamed splashing him with water laughing. They swam out into deeper water and just sat in the waves. The sun began to set by the time they made it back to towels.
Gigi dried her self off then handed the towel to jj as she dried his she sat on the dry towel getting out the joint and lighting it. Jj put the wet down and sat next to her.
"That was so much fun" jj said as Gigi passed him the joint. Jj took a hit and held in his fingers. Gigi lay her head on jjs shoulder and shivered.
"You cold" jj asked
"A bit but I'm fine"
"Here" jj said reaching over grabbing his T-shirt. She took and thanked him putting it on. Once it was on jj leaned back so he was lying on the sand. Gigi matched his position. She rested her head on his chest and her had on his shoulder.
"This is so strange" Gigi chuckled to herself
"What is strange about this" jj asked confused
"Well a few weeks ago I would have drowned you in the sea and know I'm lying next to you sharing a joint watching the sunset" she smiled
"Well things change. People change" jj said pulling her closer.
"What do you think about Sarah" Gigi said changing the subjects as she felt her checks turn red.
"I think she's cool" jj said looked at the orange sky.
"Same I'm mean she is really nice and I kinda she were she is coming from after talking to rafe and stuff" suddenly jj sat up and turned to her.
"When did you speak to rafe" jj asked her his brow creased.
"When I was at Barrie's" Gigi said confused at his reaction.
"Why didn't you come to kie or pope or me why Barry" jj said look at her. "And can I remind you he is a literal drug dealer"
"I have known Barry for like ever" Gigi said getting defensive over her friend
"What do you mean by that" jj said his expression still angry.
"We just.. he.. we" Gigi stumbled over her words not knowing how to explain her friendship with Barry.
"And rafe and you best friends with him"
"God no, he was buying form Barry and I was there" Gigi tried to explain not like the raising tension.
"Can I just remind you that the rafe literally tried to bet us all up a few weeks ago." Jj said
"I know." Gigi paused not sure how to explain.
"Gosh" jj said getting up.
"Jj come on you know I would talk to rafe willingly" Gigi said sitting up on her knees.
"I don't know you" jj said look disappointed
"What do you mean" Gigi asked her face showing that she was clearly upset.
"I will see you back at the chateau" jj said walking away.
"Jj" the girl shouted but jj didn't turn around he just kept walking away.
Once he was out of sight. The girl pulled out her phone.

"Hey Sarah can I come over"
