The next morning we had all woken up, the boys already coming up with a plan about the gold. Apparently we were going to have to get rid of the wheat symbol and take it into a pawn shop. Now, I was already having my doubts with the boys as I raised an eyebrow.
"I can feel your judgement Rory." John B says and I snickered looking at him shrugging my shoulders.
"I didn't even say anything."
"You have a look." Pope says, waving his hand in front of my face and points at me, "I mean, you always have a look but this, it's that one."
"Sorry for me having my doubts." I said, picking up the gold from the table it was much cleaner, "But please enlighten me how the hell you're going to melt this? We have no power you know."
"Oh so optimistic Rory." JJ says, grabbing it from my hands with a smirk making me roll my eyes.
"You know what? Clearly you boys have got it so let me go join the girls." I said giving the boys a sarcastic smile walking away from them to the van where the girls were sitting.
"How'd it go?" Kie asked, snickering and I chuckled.
"As expected. I guarantee you they have no idea what they're doing."
"It's a wonder how far they've lasted without us." Sarah says shaking her head looking at the boys making me laugh. I looked over at JJ who was standing there with the gold in his hands talking to the boys and I couldn't help but stare.
My mind drifting to what I admitted to the girls last night, I couldn't help but think about it. I didn't even know that's what I had at the back of my mind. I knew there was nothing to be scared of but I couldn't help it.
I was so head over heels for him and the fear of it being thrown back in my face was hard. I knew JJ's history with girls and it wasn't good but I knew I shouldn't hold that against him, like how he wouldn't hold my past relationships over my head.
"What are you thinking about?" Sarah says nudging me making me break out of my thoughts and look at her snickering.
"Nothing."
"You know there's nothing for you to worry about Rory." Kie says looking at me, she knew what was running through my mind.
"I know. It's just my overthinking going haywire."
"You love him, he loves you and then you have great amazing sex before you get married and have kids. Simple." Sarah says shrugging her shoulders making me break out into laughter.
"I think I'll hold off getting married."
"Says the girl who got engaged." Kie says giving me a look and I give one back making Sarah gasp.
"You were going to marry my brother? Oh my god."
"Look I jumped at it yes, because I thought I loved him enough to get married. But I was just scared of losing what we had and I said yes."
"You really loved Rafe, didn't you?" Sarah says looking at me, playfulness dying down as she looks at me seriously making me nod.
"I mean yeah. We dated for two years and even though it hurt to love him, I just wanted him to stay in my life and I thought getting married was the way to go. I just kind of feel guilty about it now."
"Why?"
"Because I gave him the hope I would be in his life like he did with me. I just didn't know I was letting my fear of abandonment take over. I had lost my parents, my brother and I'm about to lose my grandfather, I didn't want anyone else leaving." I said biting the inside of my cheek furrowing my eyebrows, "Does that make me a bad person?"
