Changes//Rafe Cameron

Chapter 4 (ep.3)

It wasn't long after I finished dinner that John B, JJ, Pope, and Kiara came home filing through the door laughing hysterically with smiles from ear to ear. 'Whats up with you' I said then realising 'Pope were are you pants, you look like  little tootsie roll', the others continued to laugh all except Pope. 'Well dinners ready, so let's eat while it's hot then you can go play after' I said in my best mum voice, they all gathered around the table taking their seats. It was complete silence for a couple minutes before JJ ended up saying 'how the fuck can you cook this masterpiece and John B can't even make a sandwich, like are you sure you are really related', everybody laughed again until John B spoke up 'What do you mean i can make a sandwich', we all looked at him before kie chimed in 'You literally used mouldy bread this morning', 'yeah, and its just natural organism' John b said defensively looking at his food. I giggled I loved it when people liked my cooking, sometimes everyone just needs some warm food to feel better, were all human. 

Everyone finished their food and just chatted chatted away , I looked at my watch it read 9 pm, It wasn't even that late but I knew that tomorrow I had to be up and ready to babysit the smith kids for the whole day. ' Well you kiddies run along while I clean up, and i'll set up a bed for you Kie in my room and a bed for you Pope with JJ and John B', wait why can't Kie sleep in my room' John B questioned, I chuckled 'John B I really don't think Kie wants to spend a night in a room with three gross sweaty boys', kie nodded at this and said 'Thank you Harper, yeah you guys really need to have a shower seriously'.  'Say what you want Kie sweat is just the perfume of the body' JJ said while rapping is arms around Kie, 'JJ get off me, you're gross' kie shrieked as he let go, I chuckled 'okay change of plans showers then play time, John B your first'. Everybody got up pushed their chairs and expanded, John B to the bathroom, Pope grabbed  the remote and jumped onto the couch with JJ and Kie following. 

Kie was last to have her shower and as she finished i had successfully cleaned up the kitchen and taken out the trash. They all went into John B and JJ's room and I started too set up  a bed for kie in my room. My bedroom was a decent size and it was my pride and joy the rest of the house looked dysfunctional with mismatched cushions and couches, but my room was neat a simple with a rustic pink theme. It consisted of a set a draws, a queen size bed, and a small vanity with pretty make up that had been a gift from the Smith's for my birthday last year. I knew they gave it to me because they felt bad for my dad not being there and I was grateful for that. I pulled out the trundle and set up the bed with sheets in the cupboard in the hallway. Once I finished making Kie's bed I headed toward's the boy's room, as soon as I opened they all fell completely silent and stared at me 'okay' I said 'I'm just going to make Pope's bed and then you can continue your little girls talk', I walked around to John B's bed and pulled out the trundle underneath and started setting up the linen. ' i thought you said you were getting over Dad, John B' as i pointed over to the pile of maps i recognised, he replied ' I am, but i just thought they were interesting and I wanted to get them framed'. 'Framed' I said 'You John Booker Routledge want to frame something and put it on you wall', he responded 'yeah, the last part of Dad I swear', sighed continuing to make the bed while they were whispering to each other. 'Well I'm off to sleep, you should all too so you are nice and refreshed, and ready to run from the cops again tomorrow' they all laughed and said goodnight back.

I had been lying in my bed for 5 minutes before I heard kie come in the die and lie down on her make shift bed. 'Harper, are you awake'  I heard her say, 'Yeah, what's up' i said in response, 'um well John B kissed me today' she said nervously, ' he kissed you, my brother John B kissed you' i said shocked, 'yeah, I was as surprised as you are, but... I don't like him like that, I don't want to hurt his feelings, I just wanted to ask for your advice', 'Ahh' I said getting up into a sitting position and continuing ' John B will get over it, I know he likes, they all do actually, but I understand you don't want hurt his feelings, he's been a bit delicate lately. If I was you I would tell him just to stay friends, hell understand'. 'Wait so JJ likes me?' Kie said, 'yeah, you didn't notice, he's always looking at you, and he always tells me how great you are, do you like him?', Kie sighed ' I don't know he's always a fun time but when we are talking by ourselves about personal stuff, it like he shuts off and hardly speaks to me', 'that's just JJ I guess Kie , it took a while for me to get through, but be patient he'll open up to you, I know he will', 'Thanks Harper, but enough about me, what about you and Rafe Cameron', the room was dark but i could feel my cheeks blushing 'He's actually really nice, I know your shocked to her that, but it's like he's a whole knew person, he's really helped me over the past few days with John B', 'Well I'm glad Harper, even though his sister's a total bitch, I'm happy to hear he's changed from who he was'. 'Thanks Kie, Goodnight, I love you lots' I said and she replied with a I love you too. A couple seconds later I heard kie speak again 'I was meant to ask you my parents wanted to know if you wanted to come to midsummers with us', I beamed ' I would love to Kie, thank you' and with that we fell asleep.
