FAIRYTALE ♕ outer banks

ᴛᴡᴇʟᴠᴇ

I woke up abruptly looking aorund seeing it was dark almost forgetting where I was, I sighed as I put my head in my hands. I sat up now remembering where I was and why I was here, I stayed there for a while before getting up dusting myself off.

I decided to walk back home, I just didn't know which one I was going back to yet. I didn't want to go back home to where my mother was and after last night, going back to the Chateau wasn't what I had in mind for today but anything was better than my house.

It was a long walk back and I was taking my time, now the sun was setting and I was enjoying the peaceful walk. A few cars had gone by most likely to go to work, driving by and a few waving at me.

I had reached the Chateau and as I got closer, I noticed no body was awake. I walked over to the hammocks and I sat down looking out to the ocean. It was peaceful as I watched the waves crash together.

My mind drifting to my brother as it did often but more so these days, I grabbed a hold of my necklace as I could hear his voice in the back of my head. I felt a tear drop making me wipe it as if it wasn't there, my heart was in my stomach.

"Hey, there you are." I hear and I see John B sitting next to me, "Are you alright?"

"If you're going to give me shit about dating Rafe too, I really don't want to hear it."

"No, I was just wondering where you went last night?"

"I was just out."

"Look I'm sorry about JJ, he didn't mean any of it." John B says making me scoff dryly as I dropped my necklace pursing my lips.

"What? You his PA or something?" I said raising an eyebrow looking at him in the corner of my eye making John B chuckle.

"No but I know him and so do you. He's a dick, it's in his nature to say things like he's talking out of his ass but he means well."

"Yes because him talking and bringing up shit that was two years old, like how I was drinking and doing drugs. Definitely a conversation starter JB." I said clenching my jaw a little, "I don't need to be reminded of my mistakes okay. I don't need that shit."

"I know. We don't blame you for it, we just worry about you." John B says making me look at him and he gives me a soft look, "You're like my sister Rory okay and I know I can never replace Sonny, but just know you're all I have. All we have." I sat there looking at him and I sighed smiling lightly.

"JB, you're my brother too okay, blood or not. I know I act sometimes, or most of the time but I swear I'm trying. It's just hard sometimes."

"I know and you take your time, just know we are here for you." John B says grabbing my hand making me hold on to and putting my head on his shoulder as we sat there watching the ocean. As we sat there I could hear a car pull up and I looked back to see my mum stepping out of the car.

"And my day couldn't get any fucking worse." I said pursing my lips as I stand up seeing my mother looking aorund before spotting me, I walked up to them with John B beside me, "What are you doing here?"

"We really need to talk Aurelia." My mum says making me purse my lips as I looked at her, "Alone."

"What you have to say in front of her, you can say in front of me." John B says grabbing my hand making me smile lightly at him, "Frankly because someone needs to hold her back." At that I held in my annoyance as I turned to my mother.

"Aurelia, this isn't a discussion for family only."

"The Pogues are my family, more than I can say for you." I said glaring at her making her sigh nodding.
