Starcrossed Lovers- JJ Maybank

Chapter~4~ Aftermath

Sadie woke up with the sunlight shining through the window, and into her eyes. She groaned rolling over, coming face to face with a sleeping JJ. She smiled, looking over his features, he looked so peaceful when sleeping. She patted around on the bed for her phone, picking it up, and checking the time. It read 7:30am, meaning she had about 30 minutes to get home.

Ugh, all she wanted was to cuddle deeper into JJ and fall back asleep. But, she carefully unwrapped JJ's arm from around her waist, so not to wake him up, and got off of the pullout. JJ stirred, causing Sadie to wince and pause her movements, watching to see if she woke him up. He just groaned a little and stopped moving, falling back asleep.

She sighed, relieved and started to get her her stuff, she looked down to see that she did actually change into some spare clothes last night, and went to find her other clothes. She quietly walked into the bathroom to check, they weren't there, she walked into the other room, nope.

She furrowed her eyebrows, confused. She then realized they might be in John B's room, and carefully made her way there. She quietly knocked to see if he was awake. When she got no response, she walked in, seeing her clothes in the floor next to his bed. She walked in fully, going to grab clothes.

"You headin' out?" She heard quietly from behind her.

She quickly spun around, startled, to see John B sitting up a little, looking at her.

"Oh yeah, sorry for waking you, I had to get my clothes." Sadie said, slipping her shoes on, quickly.
"Alright, see you later." John B said, laying back down.
"Yeah, you too." Sadie said, going out the room and shutting the door.

She walked back out into the living room, grabbing her phone and keys. She walked over to JJ, carefully kissing his cheek. She then walked out to her car, getting in and driving to her house.

Once she arrived, she got out and started walking to the house. On her way, she looked around, seeing the aftermath of the storm.

"Like I said before, freaking Agatha." She mumbled to herself.

She approached her front door and walked in. She saw Wheezie walking down the stairs.

"Hey, Z, where's Sarah?" Sadie asked.
"Uh, out back I think." She muttered, absentmindedly, scrolling through her phone.
"Alright, thanks!" Sadie said back, going outside.
"Yeah." She said, going into the kitchen.

Sadie walked out back to find Sarah, and she did, she was talking to Topper. She walked up to them and smiled.

"Hey guys!" She exclaimed.
"Hey Sade!" Sarah said, slinging her arm over her friend's shoulder.
"Hey Sadie." Topper said, smiling at the girl.
"What y'all talking about?" Sadie asked, looking between the two.
"Oh, nothing, just the usual you know?" Sarah responded.
"Cool, where's Ward? He asked me to come home early so.." Sadie trailed off, looking around.
"Oh, yeah. He told me to tell you that, he went to do something and he needs you to go help Rafe get the back up generators or something like that." Sarah said.
"Oh okay. Where's Rafe?" Sadie asked.
"Um, I don't know. Check his room, maybe." Sarah said.
"Alright, bye y'all." Sadie said, walking off.

She walked back into the house, and up to Rafe's room. She approached his door and knocked, waiting for a response.

"Rafe?" She called out through the door.

She heard shuffling, and put her ear closer to the door.

"Uh, just a minute!" She heard, from the other side of the door.

She rolled her eyes and smiled, thinking he had a girl in there or something. Soon the door opened and Rafe stood there, breathing heavy.

"What's up?" He asked.
"Uh, Ward told me to come help you with the generators." Sadie said.
"Oh, uh, you know what? It's fine, I'll take care of it, alright?" He rushed out.
"Oh okay, um, are you sure? Because I'll hel-" She tried your reason.
"No, no, it's fine. I got it, thanks though!" He quickly cut her off, shutting the door in her face.
"Uuhhhhh okay..." Sadie said confused.
