Bad Timing - Jiara (JJ Maybank & Kiara Carrera)

Chapter 13

"JJ?" Kie chimes with closed eyes and a cheeky smile as her eyes get used to the bright light of the room. Her hands stumble around trying to feel if JJ is on his side of the bed, but there was no one. The girl flips over, only to see an empty space beside her.

"Of course he did..." she sighs in dissapointment. Kiara grabs her phone from the pockets of the jeans that were laying on the floor without getting out of bed, which was really hard. Un-surprisingly, there was no text message from JJ. Almost all of the pogues texted her, except him. Kie stares at the texts from her mom, she is begging her to come home, but it still just the second day here. She throws her phone away trying to distract herself from her mood that has become terrible. The girl rolls out of bed, as she puts her jeans on along with the hoodie she was wearing last night.

"hey guys" kiara mumbles as she steps into the room facing hers. She plops down on the pogues' couch as she strolls through her Instagram feed.

"people think I am missing!" she chuckles.

"yeah me too" sarah says.

"uh- I go missing for weeks, and not one single text...wow" JB jokes making the girls laugh.

"we were thinking we'd get that tour back from Ryan" sarah states as kiara nods. The place was astonishing, and even though JJ and her got to explore a bit...it didn't serve the place justice.

Abruptly, the one and only JJ walks in the room as he mumbles a 'hi'. Kie and JJ's eyes briefly lock before chills went through her whole body. She looks away instantly, as she wasn't ready to have the awkward after-sex phase yet, especially with everyone around.

"JJ... you're here" sarah says tediously while rolling her eyes, followed by JJ ignoring her.

"We are getting back the tour you took from us" JohnB says

"great" he mumbles with a monotone voice as he helps JohnB make breakfast in the kitchen.

"is everything okay man?" JohnB whispers.
"uh-yeah... why wouldn't it be?" JJ stutters awkwardly as he steps into the room kiara and sarah were in.

"where is pope by the way?" he asks, not breaking eye contact with kie.

"in his room... that nerd is writing his collage application. He's been re-writing it over and over again since yesterday" kiara states as JJ lets out a slight chuckle, making the girl blush.

"pope...I need you help man- "JJ storms in the room

"dude- cant you knock?!" He shouts with JJ's appearance.

"so what do you want now?" Pope says with irritation as he rolls his eyes again.
"i need your help with something" JJ states.

"yeah no shit" Pope continues acting bitchy making JJ burst out laughing
"come on this is serious! I need you...to help me steal weed" JJ says mumbling the last part, knowing Pope would never accept.

"yeah... you know you're funny sometimes" Pope chuckles as he falls back on his bed.

"Pope I am serios I really need your help" JJ pleads.
"look my scholarship is on the line, I am not losing my future just so you could get high" Pope explains the reason for his existence, the famous scholarship.
"first of, the weed is not for me... I don't do that anymore" it was true, he made a promise to Agnes, his therapist, that he would try to be a better person, for kie, for himself, so stopping smoking was the first on the list.
"yeah I am totally buying that-"
"second! I'll try to calm your mom down when we go back to obx." JJ ignores pope's irritating comments.
"no? I already told you... no!" Pope exclaims before JJ could cut him off again.
"you're really going to have to work on that apology speech more than your collage application without my help! come on, your mama loves me! " JJ finally convinces Pope.
