57 - Luke Maybank pt2 /// Jiara

I was waiting to feel the impact of the cool metal but it never happened.

THUD!

I cautiously opened my eyes to see the drunk man spread out on the floor. His eyes had rolled to the back of his head. JJ stoof over him holding some sort of metal thing with shaky hands.

"JJ?..." I whispered

He dropped it and collapsed onto the floor next to me.

"Kie I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry" he tried to hold back sobs. He cupped my bleeding face and looked down into my eyes.

"I-im fine" I said, sitting upright again.

He buried his face into his hands, shaking and trying to hide his tears which were ready to spill.

"JJ it's alri-"

He slapped his hand back down onto his lap and started shouting.
"Fuck, Kie! Why would you do that?"

"Do what?" I asked obliviously

"Don't fucking try to take my dad on"

"He was hurting you, I wasn't just gonna-"

"He's done that so many times Kie. He's... fuck, he coulda killed you"

"He coulda killed you too, infact he almost did. So how's that any better?"

He went silent for a moment "your an idiot, you know that right?"

"And so are you. You shouldn't of kept on going back to him"

"It's not so easy..." JJ sighed

"It's is though. That guys an abusive asshole"

"He's my dad, okay?

"Fuck that! What kind of dad does that to their kid on a regular basis? Especially as your hurt this bad. You were kidnapped—you could of died last week, but he didn't care. Look at you JJ, look at yourself!"

(Remember that Kie is completely unaware that Luke is the one who got JJ kidnapped)

"I know Kie, okay? I know. Now please just-just shut up" his voice started to break

I looked down to the floor and saw a drop of my own blood fall. Shit, I almost forgot that I was beaten the crap out of by Luke.

He started to cry, like real crying.

I had no idea what to do.

"What the fuckkk" he howled silently, he pointed to my face and lowered his head into my lap.

"Sh, sh, sh. It's okay, it's okay" I tried to comfort him

"Kie?.." he choked on a sob "what-what you did there back there... It-it was amazing. Thankyou"

"Hey" I turned his head and forced him to look at me "any time, alright?" I smiled at him.

His eyes fluttered before he grabbed my face and smashed his lips down onto my own.

I froze.

It only lasted a second as he quickly pulled away.

"What the fuck was that?" I asked in shock. I couldn't tell if this was just a rebound after what had happened or if he genuinely meant it.

"I-I'm sorry" he stuttered nervously "I don't know what happened. I just - I just love you so much and-"

"-Shut up" I whispered, holding his jaw and we melted into a soft kiss.

JJ had found it. The light to his dark. The missing piece in him has finally been connected. Kiara on the other hand had feelings for him for years but never owned up to it because she thought JJ would reject her. She thought he flirted with her as a joke because... Well it's JJ. He flirts with everyone, even the guys.

We pulled apart from the kiss and we just looked at eachother, enjoying eachother's presence.

"Wh-what was that?" JJ panted
"A kiss?" I replied simply

A big grin formed on his face.

We were so lost in eachother we didn't even recognise the nurse bustling into the room.

{ JJ POV }

She just stood and stared. Trying to process what the fuck had happened in here.

She looked at us: Kie's bloody face. My pale ass body which had spots of blood everywhere. And then my dad, unconscious on the floor.

"It's not what it looks like" I spoke up quickly

"WE NEED HELP IN ROOM 109" She bellowed down the corridor.

She turned back to us, eyes wide and wondering.

"What the hell happened?" Was all she managed to say

My mouth started moving but no sound came out. Kie rubbed my shoulder comfortingly.

Then about 5 other nurses and doctors came storming into the room.
All blabbering amongst themselves about what happened and giving occasional glances at us.

Something clicked in her brain and the nurse finally understood "oh you poor kids" she sympathised

"Right, JJ you've just had blood transfusion a few days ago and it seems like you've lost most of that now" she looked at all the different spots the tubes were harshly ripped out of.

"And you, darling" she turned to Kie "Jesus... here" she handed her a clean towel and an ice pack.

__________________________________

I was bundled into a spare room whilst they sorted everything out in there. I was placed onto another bed with new tubes going into me, this time it was pumping more blood in. Great! More money. Fucking fantastic.

I was still in a state of shock after what had happened in there but the staff were taking really great care of me. The only thing that pisses me of though was how sympathetic they're being.

They're speaking to me like I'm a toddler who's just grazed his knee.

Kiara, on the other hand, I have no idea where she is. One of the head doctors took her off somewhere and I'm betting that he's fucking all her mind — interrogating her on the details that went on in room 109 today.

They didn't have the nerve to ask me any questions, because well... They realise that it's my dad and it's not their responsibility to ask me — it's CPS' job to do that.

I'm not saying shit to CPS especially if it's that bitch, Cheryl — John B's social woman thingy whatever the fuck they're called. How am I supposed to know?

They're probably gonna try and send me down mainland to live with a foster family. They can try but I ain't going anywhere. I'm staying here in the OBX with my best friends.

If this had happened a few weeks ago I could argue that there's no point at all in staying here, but now I've got reason to stay. Kie... and Pope of course. Although I'm not sure how he'd take it if me and Kiara were to get together.

I have no idea what the future holds but whatever happens, just has to happen I guess. But I know that I ain't going down without a fight.

Two more chapters left until the end. Trust me guys these next two are gonna be an emotional rollercoaster.
