We sit in silence while driving for a while when Sarah talks to disturb the awkwardness.

"You know, some of this is partly his fault." Sarah says, taking some of the blame off me.

Does she really think that, or does she just want to make me feel better?

"I mean, what he said was wrong. He called Rafe a psycho, Sar. That's my boyfriend AND your brother." I tell her, making a point.

"That definitely isn't right, I don't really believe Jj would say that. It doesn't seem like him." She adds, in disbelief.

I know she's agrees with me.

"What do you mean it doesn't seem like him?" I question, intrigued by her comment. "Honestly, I have never think he's a little jealous." She guesses.——————————————————————————
"Jealous? Of me?" I say, thinking she's wrong. "Not jealous of you, jealous of Rafe." She replies, keeping her eyes on the road.

I laugh, "Why would Jj be jealous of Rafe?" I ask, thinking I've got her trapped.

"Hm, let's see. You spend more time with him than you do Jj, you seem happier with him.." She continues, coming up with more reasons.

"Okay, okay. I get it." I say, annoyed. She holds in a laugh, staying silent.

We walk down to the house. I see Kiara and John B
sitting by camp, drinking some beers and talking. They notice us walking over as they put their beer down.

They're probably going to bring up what happened last night, no doubt.——————————————————————————
"Mads!" They say, running towards me. They hug me tightly.

"How are you?" Kiara asks, placing her hand on my shoulder. "I'm fine, thanks." I say, smiling lightly.

"I'm so sorry about what happened at the party, that guy was a complete asshole. Kelce kicked him out and apparently he didn't even know him." Kiara explains.

"Yeah, I didn't even recognize him and we've met most of Kelce's friends already." I tell her, rubbing my arm. She nods, giving Sarah a hug.

I glance behind them, seeing Jj walk out. "Excuse me." I say through my anger.

It's taking every muscle in my body from holding back my rage.

I walk past John B and Kiara and walk towards him. "Hey, Mads." he says, looking down at his shoes. ——————————————————————————
John B and Kiara observes us to make sure I don't hit him right there on the spot. "Ten bucks on Mads?" John B says, passing Kiara a ten dollar bill.

"I'm going with Jj, he's good at arguments" Kiara bets. They shake hands and then watch us closely.

"Sarah?" John B asks, offering to a part in the bet. "I'm not betting between my friend and best friend." She says, continuing to watch us.

He's acting as if he didn't completely blow me off at kelce's party.

"This isn't a joke, guys." I tell them, seeing the little bet they had planned. "We know, John B can't afford cable so this is all we got." Kiara says, tying her hair up.

"Give us a good show." John B says, throwing a piece of food at me as a joke. ——————————————————————————
I turn around to Jj. I look at him in disbelief. "Hey?" I say, crossing my arms.

"Yeah.. what's wrong with that?" he says, looking at me, frowning.

Is he serious?

I scoff, looking down at the ground. "Can we talk?" I say, my face tightening.
