Bella has been through a lot in her 16 years on Earth. More than any 16-year-old should. Her life used to be filled with days surfing with the pouges, working on cars with her dad, and just laughing to laugh.
But things change. People change. Relat...

JJ laughs as he continues to hold onto Bella, "Oh! Alright."
"Have a good time!" Sarah laughs and waves.
Bella shouts laughing, "I hope you have protection!"
"There he goes, he jacked your boat, dude," JJ looks at John B.
"Pope's poking on the Pogue."
Sarah yelps, "Ow-ow!"
Bella breaks out into giggles. JJ changes his arms from around her waist, to around her shoulders.
JJ and John B are standing, as Bella and Sarah are sitting talking.
"You should probably-" JJ starts.
John B stops him, "Wait, wait, wait."
Bella stands up hearing something too.
"What?" JJ asks.
John B looks around, "What was that?"
"Your chicken?"
"I heard a car door."
Bella tries to listen closer, "No I heard it too."
Sarah stands up as well, getting nervous.
JJ starts to cluck like a chicken, and John B just covers his mouth.
"Get in the tree," Bella whispers. "Go, go!"
They all quickly scramble and start to climb the big tree.
JJ tosses water onto the fire to put it out, before joining them.
John B grabs onto Sarah and they are on one side of the tree, JJ and Bella on the other.
JJ slips and Bella grabs onto him preventing him from falling, she pulls him close as she leans against the tree trunk. JJ puts one arm above her to hold onto the tree, and another around her waist, she has both arms around him.
They make eye contact for a minute or so, both realizing how close they were, how everything was pressing against everything, but their attention is broken by the front door being slammed open by Barry.
Bella stifles a gasp and JJ puts the hand that was above her over her mouth to keep her quiet.
"Where the hell are you?" Rafe mutters just below them.
They all watch as Rafe looks around for them.
JJ takes a deep breath, that's a bit too loud for Bella as Rafe looks closer in their direction. She places a hand over his mouth as well.
Barry breaks something made of glass inside, and then storms out of the house. Bella flinches and JJ pulls her even closer somehow.
