'Goodnight JJ'

After debating for the whole day wether or not they should keep the money, they decided that they would find a way to get a closer look at the shipwreck. But in the meantime, they would lay low. And in their world, it meant throwing a kegger. Charlotte put on a summer dress and waked out of the Chateau, where JJ was waiting for her. John B, Kie and Pope had gone to get supplies.

JJ whistled as she came through the doors. She blushed and laughed.

'Wow wow wow 'he said, gesturing at her 'look at thaaaat'

'Stop it' she shook her head. 

As she reached him he took her by the hand and made her twirl.

'You are officially the hottest date of the whole party' he smiled.

'Since when am I your date?' she teased.

He threw his arm around her shoulder.

'You're always my date'.

3 hours later, Charlotte was sitting on a fallen tree trunk, bored out of her mind. Her head rested on her hand which was propped onto her knees. She watched as JJ talked animatedly to a group of Tourons and Kooks, who were clearly very fond of him. John B came to sit next to her. He handed her a juice cup.

'You alright?' he asked.

'Yeah' she mumbled, taking a sip.

John B saw what she was starring at. JJ had his arm around a girl, swaying from side to side and laughing loudly.

'He said I was his date' she said quietly. 'Do you think it's because I'm not fun enough?'

John B scoffed.

'Char' he said.

She cocked her head to the side to look at him.

'The problem here is not you. You're awesome and he's an idiot. End of story'.

She smiled softly.

'Thank you'.

She rested her head on his shoulder. Kie came towards them, looking behind them.

'What is she doing her?' she asked.

The siblings turned around to see that Sarah Cameron had climbed on a fallen log. Her boyfriend, Topper, was begging for her to come down. Kie rolled her eyes and went back to the party.

'Oh, there goes your princess' Charlotte teased. 

John B nudged her. He had admitted to her and her only, that he had a crush on a Sarah Cameron. It was years ago but Charlotte never let it go. She turned back towards the party. Her heart sank when she saw JJ now making out with yet another girl.

'Hey' she told John B 'I'm out of here'

He nodded, giving her a small hug and kissing the top of her head.

She walked away from the beach, trying to restrain her tears. She heard someone run after her.

'Charlotte!' JJ's voice called her 'Where are you going?'

She tried to ignore her, but he caught up to her and grabbed her arm, forcing her to look at him.

'Just go back to making out with strangers, ok?!' she snapped.

JJ was taken aback. He took her hands in his.

'What's wrong, did something happen?'

She retracted her hands angrily.

'You happened!'

He looked at her, confused. She threw her hands in the air, annoyed that he didn't get it.
