🦋☀ 🌊 - 6

    everyone was pretty quiet until they reached land. they laughed off what just happened although all of them were still shaky and confused. they just wanted to know what was in the bag.

"what do you guys think it is?" kiara runs up the dock with john b followed by the others.

"should be money, right?" he hoped.

bending down and unzipping the bag, everyone watched impatiently. it was a big back pack that could be filled with anything

"that or the keys to something valuable." jj laughs excitedly.

"can we just open the bag?" pope cuts everyone off with a serious tone.

"wow pope, that's a rare outburst of emotion." olivia smiles at the cautious boy on the side.

"you guys are just killing me with anticipation. just open the bag." pope disregards everyone's questions and comments.

john b pulls out another small bag that held a round metal tube in it. whatever it was opened from the top allowing john b to reach his hand in and grab something out from it.

"what is it?" olivia kneels down next to john b.

"a compass."

everyone's smile and excitement drops when john b says the words. "oh wow. that's great."

"better luck next time. right?" olivia pats john b's shoulder and stands up to stretch her legs.

"dude what? it's not worth anything." jj examines john b's face.

everyone turns their attention to the boy on the ground. the words that left his mouth next was something no one was ready for. "this is my fathers." john b smiles.

everyone looks around at each other. "no way." olivia drops back down to her friend.

"we got to figure this out." john b stands up excitedly.

"tomorrow though. i got to get back home." olivia stands up too, looking around.

"yeah, i have to go." kiara grabs her back pack and throws it over her shoulder.

olivia notices jj's drop of emotions. "jj, can you walk me home?"

jj looks up at the brunette girl. he didn't expect her to ask him to walk her home because of what happened the night before, but he accepted the invite. "yeah! of course."

the group heads their separate ways except for jj and olivia. they walk in silence through the quiet night, shivering from the cold.

"i'm really sorry about the other night." jj scratches the back of his head, breaking the silence.

"you were protecting your friend. it's whatever." olivia shrugs it off without an argument. "just please don't do it again."

"i won't." jj chuckles. "i thought you were going to kill me."

"i was thinking about it." olivia admits sarcastically.

"you were ignoring me and shit." jj waves his hands around. "really shocked, actually."

"uh huh. i'll do it again if i have to." olivia rolls her eyes.

"i have a question."

"what is it?"

"what do you think is going on between john b and kiara?" jj looks over at the girl. it was taking a lot in him not to take her hand and warm her up the best he could.

"i honestly don't know. i'll have to ask her." olivia shrugs her shoulders. she was thinking the same thing.

the duo soon arrived in front of olivia's house. jj looks over her house and sticks his hands in his pockets. "so, this is it?"

"is your dad going to be home?" olivia holds her arms over her chest.

"yeah, i'll have to be quiet."

"wanna stay the night?" olivia wobbles on the tip of her toes.

the two made it pretty common for jj to stay the night. olivia was the only person who really knew about his dads bad behaviors, therefore jj would come over in the middle of the night when he just wanted company.

"if it's okay." jj was thankful for her and her requests. he never wanted olivia to get caught up in his personal problems, but when she went over to his house one day she figured it out pretty quickly. he stayed at john b's all the time, but even john b needed his privacy sometimes.

"of course. come on. we just have to stay quiet." olivia takes the boys hands and drags him into the house. it was somewhat late at night so she didn't expect everyone to be sitting together.

jj and olivia make their way into her room and close the door quietly. letting out a small laugh, she begins rummaging through her draws for pajamas.

"olivia is that you? are you home?" her moms voice echoes outside of the door.

"shit." olivia quickly runs over to the door. "stay here." she opens the door and closes it behind her. "yes, mom."

"you're back." she smiles, hugging her daughter tightly.

"yeah. surprise." olivia gives her mom a fake smile.

"we found you a date to midsummers." her mom claps her hands excitedly.

olivias face and body drops immediately. whoever her mom found couldn't have been good. i'm fact, she didn't even care to have a midsummers date.

jj presses his ear against the door to eavesdrop on their conversation. normally he wouldn't, but once he heard she had a midsummers date he couldn't help but listen in.

"your brother told me how much you and rafe got along, and you should have heard what he said about you. he was so excited to ask you, but he couldn't find you anywhere."

"rafe? as in, rafe cameron?" her jaw drops. "no way. mom i'm not going."

"what? why not? you should be thankful. someone other than your pogue friends like you. come on, it'll be fun." her mom takes the girls hands.

olivia knew she wasn't getting out of this. no matter how hard she tried it didn't matter if she agreed or not. "whatever."

jj on the other hand, well, he couldn't help but feel a ping of jealousy. rafe wasn't a good person to be around and if he could he would come out and put an end to it there, but he couldn't. "shit." he mumbles, running his hand through his hair.

"i'm going to get some sleep. i'll see you tomorrow."

"okay honey, rest up." her mom smiles.

olivia opens the door to see jj sitting on her bed. she hoped he didn't hear anything her mom said to her, but he did. "you ready?"

jj looks up at olivia and gives her small bed. olivia sets up the blankets on the floor and throws him a pillow.

"what do you think we're doing tomorrow?" olivia turns off her lamp and lays in bed.

"i'm supposed to meet john b tomorrow morning. i guess we'll see where that goes."

olivia nods her head. "alright then, i'll see you tomorrow." she smiles down at the boy on the floor.

"night olive oil." jj smirks up.

"night bitch boy." olivia chuckles, laying down on her back.

both of them couldn't really fall asleep after what her mom told her. rafe cameron is going to be her midsummers date and there was no changing it.
