As per usual, it didn't take long for JJ and Callie to arrive at the Chateau. They could see that it was quiet before they even got off the bike.
Walking towards the house, Callie called out for their friend but there was no response. JJ shrugged, both of them heading inside to see if they could find either Routledge.
"Nothing," Callie announced as she met back with JJ in the living room.
The boy sighed as he readjusted his cap, "Well, they've gotta be somewhere."
"We'll find them," Callie tried to reassure him.
She went to say something else when she felt her phone buzz in her pocket. It was strange to feel that again. Retrieving it, she unlocked her phone to see that she had received a text.
Kiara hey, i need you to meet me at the dock. asap
Callie be there in ten
Callie sighed as she slipped her phone back into her pocket. "Kiara needs me. Do you maybe just want to wait here in case they come back? I don't think he has his phone yet."
JJ was hesitant, not wanting to separate from her after everything that they had been through. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded, "Alright. Keep me posted."
He leaned down to kiss her on the forehead, just as the girl reached down and took his keys from his pocket. "I'm also going to borrow these, thank you."
"Hey, don't you hurt my baby," he called after her as she headed out to his bike.
Callie walked backwards so that she could talk to him, hand over her heart, "And here I was thinking that I was your baby."
JJ smirked as he crossed his arms in front of himself, "Who said I was talking about the bike?"
The girl pursed her lips as she turned back around, shaking her head at herself for blushing at something so small. She wondered if she would always get these butterflies when he said things like that - she hoped so.
Leaving the Chateau, she rode JJ's bike to the docks. It would've been a rather long walk, so she was grateful to have the bike with her. When she arrived and got off the bike, she spotted not only Kiara but also Sarah and Florence.
Callie smiled as she jogged down the dock to meet the three girls. When she reached them, she threw her arms around Florence, shocking the girl. "It's so good to see you," she smiled.
Florence chuckled as she hugged her back, "You too, Merrick."
The girl pulled back after a moment to turn to her friends, "So, what's this about?"
