After we finished searching, we decided to head back to the Chateau and do a huddle and decide what our next plan would be. John B dropped us off and said he would be back shortly.
"Guys, what do we think he is doing?" I asked. We were all hanging out on the porch, drinking beer, and waiting for John B to return.
"Macking Sarah Cameron." JJ said as held me tightly as I sat on his lap.
"JJ, come on." I said and slapped his arm.
"Oh shit." Pope said. We all looked in the direction he was looking in and that's when my blood started boiling.
"No effing way!" Kie hollered. We watched as John B walked up the steps to the porch with Sarah following close behind. My eyes were locked on her as she sat down on the empty couch and John B sat next to her.
"You brought her here, so what, she's in on this now?" I snapped. Kie and I watched as John B looked at the boys for support and they both just looked around.
"Look, all I care about is her cut comes out of your share." JJ said. I slapped him again and he shrugged his shoulders.
"You know, I don't remember taking a vote. This is our thing." Kie said. "A pogue thing."
"I gotta say, I'm just a tad uncomfortable with all of this." Pope said.
"Thank you." Kie said.
"When are you not uncomfortable?" John B asked.
"I don't know. I rode here this morning on the back of JJ's bike pretty comfortably." Pope said.
"It's true. The most relaxed I've ever seen him." JJ said.
"Real cute guys." John B said.
"I rode my longboard here. Even with a fractured arm." I said.
"Which I told her not to do." JJ said.
"You know, we were all extremely comfortable until you brought her here." Kie said.
"Stop talking about me like I'm not even here." Sarah snapped.
"Then fucking leave." I snapped back. I felt JJ's grip on me tighten because he knew I was getting heated.
"I told you." Sarah said.
"Told him what exactly?" Kie asked.
"That you're a liar?" I added.
"No, that you two are shit talking bitches." Sarah said.
"You did not just say that!" I yelled and quickly got up from JJ's lap.
"My money is on Stella." I heard JJ whisper.
"Ya, she'll kick her ass even with a cast on." Pope said.
"When have I ever lied to you two?" Sarah asked.
"You know you get someone close to you a..." Kie started but John B cut her off.
"Everybody, shut up!" John B hollered.
"Stella, Kie." he started. "You two are my best friends."
"And Sarah." he said but hesitated. "You're my...."
"Say it." she said.
"You're my girlfriend." he said and smiled.
"Oh god, I'm gonna be sick." I said.
"Weren't you just using her?" Kie asked.
"You said you were using me?" Sarah asked.
"No." John B said.
"Yeah, you totally did bud." I said.
"Look, if she's in, Stella and I are out." Kie said.
"There you go again, putting words in Stella's mouth." John B said.
"Bro, are you deaf?" I snapped. "I told you if it has anything to do with her, Kie can make decisions for me all she wants."
"Let's go, Stella." Kie said and walked towards the door. I glared at John B and Sarah as I walked by and ran to catch up with Kie.
"Guys?" John B asked.
"We gotta follow our girls." Pope said.
"Sorry man." JJ said. He and Pope then ran after Kie and I.
Stella's P.O.V.
"I just can't believe this shit." Kie hissed as she and I sat down on the dock.
"He's been lying to us this entire time." I scoffed.
"Some friend." Kie added.
"Ladies." JJ said as he and Pope approached.
"Did you two know?" I asked.
"Know what?" Pope asked.
"That John B was macking Sarah Cameron this entire time?" Kie asked.
"No we didn't." JJ said. "I swear."
"Whatever." Kie hissed. "He and Malibu Barbie can find the gold on their own."
"Kie, come on." JJ said.
"Don't come on me." she said. "He betrayed us." I watched as Pope and JJ turned their heads to me.
"Don't look at me." I said. "I agree with Kie on this one."
"Well, this is great." Pope said as he sat down next to Kie. JJ then walked over and sat down by me.
"You were getting pretty feisty back there, babe." he said and kissed my cheek.
"I was in full fight mode." I said.
"I could tell." he laughed.
"I could take someone out with this thing." I laughed as I started swinging my cast.
"Preferably not me." JJ laughed and lowered my arm.
