CHAPTER THIRTY
growing apart doesn't change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled, im glad for that.
AS SOON AS KIARA AND POPE PULLED UP to the chateau dock the next morning and were stopped by the rest of the group who ran down, telling them they had to leave and go.
they had stayed up the whole night, just incase Rafe or Barry decided to come back in the middle of the night. they packed their things—not all of them obviously but just enough to keep them sorted for the couple of days they were gone.
Bambi could practically feel the bags under her eyes. she hadn't had a proper sleep in a good few days. it was clear to see that she was exhausted, even though she tried her best not to show it to everyone around her.
Sarah had gone to speak to Ward. John B tried to stop her but she was adamant that it would be okay and her dad would choose her over Rafe. even though he was completely okay with it, he let her go. trusting her enough to trust them.
the group scattered around and Bambi lay on the grass, her eyes closed. she wasn't trying to go to sleep, she just wanted to rest her eyes. the drunk she had hours before had disappeared and left her with a small headache. it wasn't enough to make her react but it hurt enough to bother her.
JJ sat slumped on a bench not too far away from her, he thought they shouldn't have came back here because he knew this was going to end up happening. he was just frustrated that nobody listened. his leg bounced up and down, the tapping on the grass was heard by everyone.
"—JJ." John b said his name and the blonde looked up at him, "can you stop tapping?"
"none of this would be happening now if we didn't come back here. we could have all left, together. but noo—John B makes the plans." JJ suddenly ranted, rolling his eyes at the boy.
John B narrowed his eyes at the blonde and Bambi turned her head to face the pair, still laying down. she kept eyes open though, "what is your problem, dude?" John B raised his eyebrows.
JJ ran his tounge over his teeth, "right now, my problem is you."
"can you guys like—not?" Kiara stared at the pair, "it's to early for you two to be bickering."
John B shrugged, pointing his finger at JJ like a child, "tell him that. he's the one in the gigantic mood for no reason. nobody has done anything."
Bambi stood up from her spot, walking over to her boyfriend. she stood in front of him as he began to open his mouth, ready to say something back to him. she smiled softly and even though he was mad, he couldn't help but smile back.
