"Pope, leave," Devyn demanded, frowning at the sight of her teary-eyed best friend.
"I was just-"
"Bye," Devyn glared at him, the boy taking the hint and standing up with a sigh.
"If it were me, I know who I'd choose," Pope told Kiara before leaving.
Devyn sighed heavily as she plopped onto the dock, groaning at the soreness of her ribs and stomach.
"Hey, babygirl," Devyn gave Kie a soft smile. "How are you doing?"
"John B is such an idiot," Kiara seethed, shaking her head in a mix of anger and confusion. "I don't understand why there's even a choice? He's known her for three seconds!"
"I know," Devyn sighed, running a hand through her tangled waves. "I don't get it. But I'm taking your side, no matter what."
"I know, thank you," Kiara chuckled through her tears.
"You know," Devyn drawled, nudging Kie's leg with her foot. "We could always kill them. I have a shovel, you could drive your car. Ooh! We could let the sharks get them like whoever killed the groupers."
"You're insane," Kiara giggled, shaking her head. "You're downright certifiable."
"It's just part of my appeal," Devyn smirked, before her face became serious. "But for real, Kie. What do we do?"
"I don't know," Kiara sighed heavily, chocolate eyes trained on the water. "Maybe you could go up there and try and knock some sense into him?"
"I've been trying to do that my entire life," Devyn sighed, standing up and pressing a kiss to the girl's forehead. "But I'll keep trying for you, babygirl. Keep your head up, it's gonna be fine."
Kiara nodded, shooting the girl a smile as Devyn made her way back to the house, pausing nervously outside the front door at the sound of yelling.
"All I'm saying is if you hurt her I'm gonna kill you!" John B screamed angrily.
"And I'm saying I would never hurt her!" JJ fired back as Devyn hesitantly slipped into the Chateau.
"She's fragile, JJ! Her mom just died, her brother beats her, she doesn't even know who her dad is! The last thing she needs is for you to break her heart!" John B seethed, slapping JJ's chest. "I only want what's best for her."
"Both of you shut the fuck up!" Devyn snapped, their heads whipping toward her as they stepped away from one another, like a deer in the headlights. She thanked her lucky stars that Pope wasn't in the house to witness their stupid little stand off. The less people who had to witness this the better.
"John B, thank you for looking out for me but no more threatening JJ. He's my..." Devyn trailed off, unsure of what to call him. Was he her boyfriend? "I don't even know, he's my JJ!"
