Sparks | Rafe Cameron

9.

———

Last night felt like a blur. The paramedics rushing down, shoving past each of the pogues to get to John B. John B being wheeled away, Sarah following close behind. The pogues all going back to the chateau while Violet drove a tipsy Rafe back to tannyhill. It was around 5am when Violet dragged herself back to the chateau, passing out on the living room floor.

Violet was awoken by JJ stepping over her to head outside for some air. "What time is it?" Violet mumbles, rubbing her eyes as she sits up.

"Uh like 10?" JJ states as more of a question, turning to face Violet "you wanna come for a smoke..?" He asked awkwardly. The relationship between them still tense.

Nodding slowly, Violet stood up. As much as they were mad at one another, Violet seen this as a peace offering from JJ so she jumped at the chance to accept it. "Sure." She walks outside after him.

Sitting down on the porch with JJ, passing back a blunt back and forth Violet weirdly felt at peace. "I know you're mad at me JJ.. I understand that and I'm accepting it but.." she begins to ramble as the effects of the blunt slowly make its way into her system "I really miss our friendship." She looks over at him with a small frown.

"I can't forgive you.." JJ sighs as Violet immediately interrupts "I don't expect you to forgive me." She clarifies.

Taking a deep breath JJ looks over at violet "it'll take time." He confesses "and I'm sorry for acting like a dick recently."

Violet smiles slightly "apology accepted maybank." She hands him back the blunt before standing up, extending her hand "wanna head to the wreck and get some free food?" She giggles, JJs hand connecting with hers "you know I never pass that up." He laughs as they head for the wreck

Lounging in the wreck, to all the pogues surprise John B was already out of hospital and had been welcomed into a Kooks home. "I'm sorry. You're staying where?" Kiara asks as she cleans up the dishes from customers tables, violet watched not missing having to do that.

"Tannyhill." John B confesses, knowing Kiara would have a bad reaction.

Kiara furrows her eyebrows "So you're living with Sarah Cameron." She stated annoyed

"Okay, look, the only reason I'm living there is because her dad bailed me out, right?" John B looks over at Kiara "And it's way better than foster care, which, by the way, is where I was about to go if Ward didn't..." he begins to walk over to the table where the pogues were lounging

Pope leans back in his chair, fiddling with his hat as he interrupted "Hey, so do you have a membership to the clubs now?" He sits up, looking over at Violet "Wait violet do you?"

"I can go if rafe is there.." Violet confesses

Jj walks around the table "What about those golf carts they drive around? You get one of them?" JJ asks John B before pope interrupts again "Does it come with a sweater-vest, or do you have to buy one on your own?" He asks causing violet to laugh

"Look, you promised. You said you weren't with her." Kiara speaks up again, bringing down the mood

Jj turns to look outside "Bro, just own it. She got you." He shrugs as violet glances at pope awkwardly

"Look, if you wanna hang out with her, that's fine. But I'm letting you know now that I'm not doing anything with Sarah or Rafe for that matter." Kiara leans against one of the chairs

Violet raises her hands in defence as Kiara shot her a look

"Do you guys see her here?" John b rubs his face, looking around at the group "No, right. Okay."
