CHAPTER TEN - THE BONFIRE
"He deserved it, right?" JJ said, fishing off Leon's dock with Kie standing next to him.
"Are you joking? Of course he deserved it" Kiara replied instantly.
"Never seen anyone blow themselves up like that" Pope said, without thinking.
"Cross that one off the bucket list"
"JJ!" John B tossed an empty can of beer at his head, shaking his head as he looked over at the two Toretto siblings laid out on the HMS Pogue. He made his way down and sat beside Eleanor, grabbing her hand without hesitation.
"Sucks for Sarah" JJ added, surprisingly sincere for once. He glanced at Eleanor, sympathy in his eyes.
"Baby, you okay?" John B asked, squeezing her hand gently.
"It's not me I'm worried about, JB" She sighed, just as footsteps crunched along the dock. Looking up, she saw Sarah standing there, arms folded tightly across her chest "Can we talk?"
Eleanor nodded "Wish me luck" She stepped off the boat and followed Sarah to a quieter stretch of dock, the sounds of waves crashing filling the space between them.
"You alright?" Eleanor's voice broke the silence.
"I just...I needed a break. I'm sorry"
"From what?"
"From everything. From everyone. From the Pogues. From...you"
Eleanor's brow furrowed "Excuse me?"
"I'm sorry, I just-"
"We didn't blow your dad up, Sarah" Eleanor didn't mean to snap "He did that all on his own"
"I know that"
"Then what exactly are you taking a break from? The people who've risked everything for you? Who've fought beside you even when it hurt?" Eleanor's voice started to rise "John B and I were nearly killed in that jail because of your dad. He sent inmates after us. We almost died in them cells!"
Sarah blinked hard, guilt stinging behind her eyes.
"He was still my dad"
"And I understand that but you were my friend" Eleanor snapped "You think that doesn't count for anything?"
A heavy silence fell between them, thick and raw.
"What the hell is going on?" Brian came onto the dock, glancing between the two girls. His expression hardened when he saw Sarah's tear-streaked face.
"You need a break? From us?" Brian asked "From the people who held you when that boat exploded? From me?"
