June 14

I wake up and look around. Where am I? I don't recognize this place at all. It's not my home. And it's not the Cameron's home either. Where am I then? I look around the house anxiously. This isn't where I remember fainting.

It's not until I hear those voices that I realize where I am. I'm at John B's house. How did I end up here? I have so many questions, but I need to leave now. As soon as possible.

Just as I'm about to get up, I feel two arms pull me down again so that I'm lying down, and then I see JJ standing in front of me. I look at him in surprise and then John B comes walking over. In the coach, Pope and Kiara are sitting. What in the..

"What am I doing here?" I say aloud, trying to get up again, but being stopped again.

"Should we tell her?" JJ asks, a little nervously in his voice, looking towards his friends on the coach.

"Of course she has to know," Pope says, looking very uncomfortable. JJ scratches his head before he starts talking.

"After you fainted yesterday, your brother got pretty mad at Rafe for saying it was his fault you fainted, and Rafe got mad at Nathan for saying it was his fault. So they ended up in some fight, and they were both too injured to take you home. Topper helped them get out of there, and we may have accidentally hit Kelce a few times so he couldn't take you home. Trust me, we know how to do these things. We often end up in fights, compared to you," JJ explains.

Rafe and Nathan got into a fight because of me? That was the last thing I wanted because I know how good friends they are. They've been friends their whole lives and they've never fought since they were little and they disagreed about some toy car. And everything is because of me. My fault.

"But there's nothing wrong with you. You just fainted and hit your head, but it's okay now," JJ says.

"As if you're some doctor," I say, getting up and this time he lets me sit up completely. My head hurts so much.

"It was actually Pope who told us everything," John B says, handing me a glass of water that I hesitate to take. Is it really safe to drink tap water from the cut? I don't think so.

"You can breathe. The water is clean," John B says as if he had read my thoughts, and I drink the water almost immediately.

"Where are Rafe and Nathan now?" I ask.

"They're probably at home. I'm sorry your brother doesn't accept your boyfriend, but I wouldn't either," JJ says.

"JJ," Kiara says behind him, and I look up at her and she doesn't give me an annoyed look this time. On the contrary, she gives me a gentle smile.

"We think it's best if you stay here for a few hours until you're completely okay. Besides, you probably don't want to see your brother right now," John B says.

"But if Rafe finds out I'm here-" I start.

"Yes, we know your boyfriend hates us, but he'll never believe that the kook princess is at the cut with us," JJ says. Why does he keep commenting that Rafe is my boyfriend all the time? When he's not even that, but I don't have the energy to comment on anything. Kiara gets up and looks at me a little nervously.

"Are you up for talking?" She asks and points out the door.

"Sure," I say. This may be the only chance I get to finally talk to Kiara. To find out the truth about everything that happened that day. I follow Kiara out and we sit down on the grass just outside the chateau. Kiara looks out at the sea before clearing her throat.
