Kiara's pov:

I had woken up after a short 30 minute nap, with my head rested between JJ's neck and shoulder. The hour before that seemed to be almost a blur. With my nightmares of my parents finding me and kidnapping me again, once I get off this plane, and also with Sarah's mental breakdown.

I looked around to see if anyone was still awake, and to my surprise Cleo was. She was sitting on her seat watching the tv. I looked over towards her to see what she was watching. The tv displayed multiple different dishes of food along with some chiefs, so I'm toning to assume that it's some baking show.

I walked over to Cleo, "Hey," I whispered loud enough to get her attention. She turned around to face me.

" Oh hey Kie, how did ja sleep." Cleo asked.

"Um, let's just say not the best." I said sitting down in the seat by her.

" yeah I get it, these past few days have been rough." Cleo says as she turns off the tv show.

I looked back to wear I was sitting before to see if JJ was still asleep. And sure enough he was sleeping, maybe not peacefully, but at least he was sleeping.

Cleo caught me staring at JJ and decided to switch up are conversation. " So what's been going on with you and JJ?"

I panicked at the question, not knowing how to respond, " um nothing really why are you asking?" I said trying to make it seem believable.

" oh I don't now maybe it's because you guys are always around each other. You guys would die for each other, and I mean I see the way you too look at each other. So if you can't tell that you are in love with JJ and he is in love with you then you must be blind." Cleo whispered so no one else that was possibly awake or in a light sleep could hear.

I didn't know how to respond to that statement, without spilling mine and JJ's secrets. So I just sat there in silence with Cleo hoping she would eventually change the topic.

Right as I was about to say something Sarah had walked up to me. Her face was red and her eyes were bloodshot from all of her crying previously. She was covering herself in a medium sized gray blanket that JJ had out on her. She was staring at the floor swaying back and forth but occasionally looking up at me, letting me know that she wanted to talk.

" Hey Cleo I'll be back in a bit okay." I got up from the seat and made my way towards Sarah. We went to the back of plane where she was when she had a complete mental breakdown.

We both sat down on the small blue couch near one of the tvs. I looked down at the floor and saw 3 empty cans of beer lying on the floor. " Sarah did you drink all of that beer and half a bottle of wine tonight?" I asked concerned for her.

She looked guilty while staring at the bottles of beer and then again my face. " yeah" she admitted, " yeah, yeah, I did." she mumbled, which turned into a small wimpier. I pulled her into a hug trying to calm her down and let her know that I'm there for her. As I looked behind her while hugging her I caught John B's eyes.

He quickly made his way towards us to see what was wrong. As he got closer I noticed his red puffy eyes and checks.

I pulled away from the hug, " just let me know if you ever need something or need to talk okay. I'll always be there for you." I said as I patted her back and let John B take over and talk to her. " that goes for you too okay" I whispered in John B's ear.

As I was walking back towards Cleo I realized that she had fallen asleep in Popes lap, so I headed back to JJ and to my surprise he was awake.

" Hey" JJ grumbled in a groggy morning voice, he quickly looked around to make sure there was no one near us, and then he gave me a small peck on my lips.
