Estranged

The morning.

*next morning

Kie gets up to go to the bathroom, leaving Sarah asleep in her bed.

She walks sleepily down the corridor when she bumps into something.

"Hey You should watch where your going?"

She looks up and it's JJ. Shirtless. Wrapped in a towel. Oh god.

"So should you" she replies. She can't help but look at his abs, god this boy is hot. When she meets his eyes again he's smirking. Shit. He takes the opportunity to look her up and down with sends a shiver up her spine.

He smirks and walks into his room.

"Hey"

Kie turns around and Sarah stood in her doorway rubbing her eyes.

"Who were you talking to?"

"What? no one" she smiles

"Ok? You wanna stay for breakfast?" Sarah asks

"Erm.." she thinks for a second, this can't happen, she cannot fancy her best friends brother, she's so not that girl. "...actually I should probably get back, I have homework I need to finish before school tomorrow, sorry"

"Oh. Ok"

They both walk back into Sarah's room and Kie starts getting dressed.

"You're still picking me up tomorrow right?" Sarah asks as Kie picks up her t shirt.

"Of course" she smiles

"Sarah..." JJ walks in "shit... sorry" he turns away and Kie pulls her top down to cover herself embarrassed.

"Don't you knock?" Sarah asks annoyed

"I just wanted to know if you had a phone charger I could use, forgot mine"

"Here" she throws one over to him

"Thanks" he says before glancing at Kie again and then leaving the room.

"Sorry about that" Sarah sighs

"Oh no it's fine, erm i gotta get home I'll see you tomorrow" Kie replies grabbing her bag.

"Ok" she smiles

———————————————————————————

Kie walks quickly down the stairs, trying to make a speedy exit. But just as she reaches the front door...

"Kie!"

She turns around

"Rafe"

"You should stay away from him"

"what are you talking about?" Kie asks confused

"JJ? I heard you two talking earlier"

"So you were spying on me?"

"It's my house?"

"Whatever, anyway it was nothing"

"Good. Keep it that way, he's bad news"

"What is your problem with him?"

"That's my business, just take my advice, stay away"

"Look I don't take orders from you. I gotta go" she turns and walks out the door. Once it closes she takes a deep breath. Maybe he's right, maybe she should stop coming around so much, she can't think straight here anymore, and she doesn't want to do something she regrets.

———————————————————————————

Sarah walks into JJ's room after Kie leaves.

"Geeze, knock much?"

"Coming from you?" She laughs

"Look I'm sorry about that I didn't know she was.."

"Whatever it doesn't matter, you ready for school tomorrow"

"nope, I'm so done with school"

"Bad experience?"

"Look Sarah, you don't have to pretend like you care ok?"

"Who says I don't? Look whether you like it or not, we're family now"

"Yeah" he laughs "since like yesterday, you weren't so bothered before that were you!"

"Look i know your angry but don't take it out on me?! Because you and I both know I'm not the one your actually angry at"

"Whatever" he mutters

"Let us give you a ride to school tomorrow"

"Us?"

"Well me and Kie, I can't drive so she normally takes me. But you can come with?"

"Yeah no thanks?"

"JJ come on? I'm trying to be nice here"

"If i say yes will you leave me alone?"

She nods

"Fine"

"Good, be ready at 8" she walks out feeling satisfied with herself.

*next day

**beep beep

Kies sat in her car outside Sarah's house.

Suddenly she emerges from the front door, but stops.

"Girl hurry up we're gunna be late!" Kie yells over.

"One sec!" Sarah yells back before leaning back inside and yelling something Kie couldn't hear. Then another person walks out the door. JJ.

Kie sighs, great.

"I told JJ we'd give him a ride, you don't mind do you?"

"Er no, not at all" she replies looking at him.

"Great" Sarah head for the passenger door "hey I always sit upfront?"

"Too bad" JJ shrugs getting in before her.

Sarah rolls her eyes and gets in the back.

"Yep you two are definitely siblings" Kie laughs before putting her foot on the gas.
