A Jiara Story | together forever

Chapter 2

Pope's POV:

After I heard the news about John B and Sarah, I felt worse than I ever had. I mean finding out that my best friend was lost at sea, that was not easy to hear.

I'm not sure if I believe it. I mean everyone is saying that they are dead, even Ward. But somewhere inside me, I feel like they are still alive, out there, somewhere.

This summer has been the crappiest summer of my life. I mean first I lost my scholarship, then John B and Sarah disappeared, and I haven't seen Kie or JJ since that night.

When I got the text from Kie, I was really happy. I mean, don't get me wrong, I am seriously hurt that John B is gone, but at the same time I wanted to move on with my life. I mean, not like forget about JB, but just start hanging out with Kie and JJ again.

I hadn't talked to Kie about the kiss since it happened, and I had no idea how she felt about it.

All I knew was that I really loved her, not like a friend, but I was just in love with her.

I don't know if she feels the same way though. I hope so.

As I was getting ready to meet up with Kie, and maybe JJ.

He hadn't responded to our texts, he was probably somewhere drinking or something.

I texted Kie that I was on my way. She responded that she was already there. I wondered if JJ was also there, and if so that Kie was alone with JJ.

I don't know why the thought of that bothered me so much. I guess just because JJ has always been hitting on her, and she is mine.

Or well not really, but I want her to be.

I got on my bike and started biking towards the Chateau.

When I got there, I saw Kie's green truck outside, parked right in front of the house. I didn't see any sign of JJ, which made me kind of happy.

As soon as I realized I was feeling this way a wash of guilt came over me. How could I? JJ was my best friend. He took the blame for me with Toppers boat. How could I ever feel that way?

I quickly stopped thinking about it and started walking towards the Chateau.

I got serious John B chills being in that place, and I felt super guilty for even thinking that I could just 'move on' with my life. I mean John B was my best friend, like a brother.

I opened the door to the Chateau and found Kie sitting on the sofa.

She looked up at me as I walked in, and looked at her.

Kie's POV:

I heard someone outside and thought that maybe it was JJ.

When Pope walked through the door I was slightly disappointed that it wasn't JJ.

I looked up at Pope and forced a hint of a smile. He was staring intensely at me, it kind of scared me.

He walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. It felt good, I missed him. We stood there for like an eternity until I pulled out of the hug.

"Hi Pope" I said awkwardly. He just kept looking at me. "Hey Kie" he replied.

"How are you?" he asked me.

I know he didn't have bad intentions asking me that, but part of me was really annoyed with that question. Like how do you think I am. I just lost 2 of my best friends at sea, and the other one is God knows where.

I just faked a smile and said: "been better, you?" "Yeah, me too" he responded. There was this weird awkward tension between us.

I just asked him the question I had been wanting to ask him since he arrived: "have you seen or heard from JJ?" 

I mean, I was seriously worried about him, but maybe he texted Pope or something.
