Enemy Lines-JJ

"Saige, can you open up?" Kiara's familiar voice called out from behind her bedroom door. It was 10 in the morning and she didn't even realize she had fallen asleep.

She got up from her bed and unlocked her door. Kiara was dressed in a bikini with only a t-shirt to cover up. Saige had always been so jealous of Kiara- her body was perfect and everybody wanted to look like her.

"Get ready and put your bathing suit on. We're going out today."

"Where are we going?" Saige asked her as Kiara walked out of her room.

"Not telling! Just get ready!"

Saige sighed. She really didn't feel like going out- she was exhausted after crying half the night over Rafe's antics and just wanted to be alone. But, she was always willing to make time for Kiara. She put on her pale pink bikini and covered up with a tank top and shorts, then went downstairs to grab a bite for breakfast. She heard Kiara yelling at her to hurry up so she downed her breakfast and ran outside, hopping into the car.

"You gonna tell me where we're going?" Saige asked as Kiara began to drive.

"We are going to John B's to have a nice relaxing day out on the water in his boat."

"What?" This made Saige panic. She tried opening the car door so she could jump out but Kiara had the door locked.

"No, I can't go over there! Rafe is gonna kill me, take me back home!"

"What Rafe doesn't know what hurt him, Saige, chill! When's the last time you went out and had fun without him around?"

"I don't remember," Saige sighed, "he just scares me sometimes. I feel like he's watching my every move."

"Well, that's an awful way to live! Dump his ass, girl. You can do it."

Saige rolled her eyes. "It's not that easy and you know it."

"Yeah well forget him for the day. Plus, you owe me for what you said to the guys last night. The whole ride home they fought over who they thought I wanted to makeout with!"

Saige laughed. "Do they know I'm coming?

"I told John B, he probably told the guys. Don't worry about them, it's gonna be a blast."

After a few minutes of driving they pulled up to a house that was much different than her Kook home. It was modest, but she was totally digging the vibe. Kiara hoped out and ran inside, leaving Saige outside by herself.

"Really, Kie?" She mumbled to herself before getting out of the car and walking onto the screened porch. She made her way through the front door to be met with the eyes of the three boys she met last night.

"Saige! How's it going?" John B asked.

"Goin' alright." She said with a slight smile. To be honest, she never really hung around boys. There were none that Rafe trusted around her except for Topper and Kelce, and neither of them were Saige's cup of tea. She was normally around Kiara, Sarah and random girls from school she saw out in public.

"So, who's ready to take the boat out for a spin?" Pope asked, who was already headed out the back door.

"Lets go!"

The boys all loaded up the things they needed on the boat and made small talk, joking around and laughing with each other. The only one who hadn't really talked much was JJ. In fact, he hadn't said really anything at all to Saige and she didn't hear much out of him except for when he stood up for her to Rafe.

She walked up to JJ who was getting all the beers loaded into the cooler. "Hey!" She said to him. He wasn't expecting that, he jumped and looked at her.

"Hey." He smiled at her.

"Um, I just wanted to say thanks for yesterday. Rafe is a huge ass sometimes, sorry he put his hands on you."

"No biggie," JJ replied, "I could've taken him down if I wanted to." He showed off his large muscles to Saige.

"I don't know," she giggled, "Rafe is pretty tough. I've seen him fight."

"Rafe is all talk! The little bitch cried about his teddy bear going missing when he was twelve. I remember it." Kiara butted in. Everbody died laughing at that image, even Saige.

"Enough of this Rafe talk. Let's head out." John B laughed. Everybody hopped onto the boat and off they went.

-

They made it out pretty far into the water. Saige was used to being on the water, her dad owned a boat that was about $100k more than John B's boat was worth, and she often when out on the Cameron families boat. She was really close to the family and enjoyed hanging out them, even if she wasn't crazy about Rafe.

"You gonna get in?" JJ asked Saige. That's when she looked up and saw the most beautiful set of blue eyes she'd ever seen and she couldn't stop looking into them.

She remembered she hadn't replied to him. "Oh- yeah, I'm coming." She said with a smile. He smiled back.

There was one thing running through Saige's brain- she had to get to know this boy more.

But, what about Rafe?
