At first it catches me by surprise but then I begin to slowly sink in and can't find myself pulling away. My heart rate begins to quicken. Suddenly, the sound of a harsh wave crashing against the rocks pulls me back to my senses. Pope.
"JJ WHAT THE HELL?!" I yell, shoving him away and getting up way too fast, I feel dizzy. "Umm okay I think I tHINK .... we just kissed." He says, nervously. "Oh my god. Oh mY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE!! LOOK WE CANT TELL ANYONE WHAT JUST HAPPENED!! POPE CANNOT FIND OUT ABOUT THIS!!" I shout, trying to gather my thoughts as best as I can, while grabbing my things to leave.
"Woah woah where are you going??" He asks me, a frown on his face. "I DONT KNOW I JUST ... I NEED TO GET OUT OF H-". And then it comes to me. "Wait. JJ did you ... Did you do all this because you thought you and I would-", "nO WHAT?! No no off course not. Kie, I did this for my friend okay not-" I cut him off. "Well cleARLY NOT!!" I shout back. "Look JJ, I'm not gonna fall for your stupid games okay. Don't think that just because you get me stuff and do these nice gestures, I'll be all over you. Do you seriously not have aNY respect for the fact that I have a boyfriend. Did you really think you could lure me into your little trap!?" I yell.
"Is that what you think of me?" He asks, his tone softer than just a few seconds ago. "That's what everyone thinks of you." I say, my voice no louder than a whisper. "You didn't answer my question. Is that what YOU think of me." He asks again. I don't reply. "wow, Kie. Just when you think you know a person. Look I'm sorry that what just happened, happened. But that's no reason for you to go all out in accusing me of someone who does crap like 'lure girls into his trap' like what the hell is that about?! And I do have respect for you and for my best friend so don't you dARE TELL ME I DONT!!" He screams. "You know what. Screw Pogues for life. You're nothing but a selfish, stereotypical Kook. You can drop the facade."
"wha-Screw you." I say, racing back to my car, trying to fight back the tears but fail. Luckily, I get into the driver's seat and lock the door just as JJ catches up to me. "Kie waIT IM SORRY OPEN THE DOOR! KIE!" JJ screams, banging on my door. I turn to look at him and roll down the window. "Kie, I-", "No. Sorry isn't going to undo anything that just happened or anything you said." I can see now that his eyes are welling up with tears too, and before I change my mind I turn my head to the road in front of me. "thanks for the surprise." I say, softly, and roll the window back up. "KIE, WAIT PLEASE!!" He screams, trying his best to catch up to the car. But I speed up and his voice gets softer and softer as I get further and further away from him.
I don't know where I'm going, or what I'm going to do. But I just need to get away from him. I look at the rear view mirror, and I can't see him anymore. My face is now wet with tears as I replay everything that just happened. And then I glance at my wrist and take a look at the bracelet before turning away and thinking: what have i done.
