as a child, i always wondered what death would be like
whether it would hurt, or be peaceful
would i feel anything and what would be the last thing i looked at

a persons eyes, my phone, a book, a nurse. what would be the last thing my eyes would make contact with before everything went black and my vision blurred as i slowly faded away into the abyss

i always felt connected to the ocean,
felt like it would call my name between every crash that smacked against the rocks along the surface
when the tide went out each evening and when the water tugged at my ankles while pooling around my feet

when the water would soak your body, leaving each angle wet and cold
my heart would be the opposite as the waves carried my body
my heart dry and warm as the oxygen leaves my breath

drowning is the least painful way to die people say
but is it? you're fighting your lungs, practically begging to feel the oxygen enter but it doesn't
leaving your heart to slow and you chest to explode into a thousand shades of agony

you feel defeated before you feel tired and you can't help but give in into the temptation of drowning in the sea

♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥

the light that faded into her eyes
making the girl squint her emerald orbs at the uncomfortable shine that glimmered along her features

turning to her side while sinking into the comfortable chair and snuggling closer to the blanket with her blonde hair swishing around the surface of the couch

pulling her dead body up to look at the familiar room that surrounded her
the pain streaking through her head as it pounded through her skull leaving the girl to push against her temple to relieve some tension

"she's up" a voice echos making layla turn her head to the source of the voice
everything was blurry, but she could see a figure walking towards her setting her heart into panic mode

"no" she mumbles shaking her head before pushing her body off the couch making her fall onto the hard wood floor with a thump
she crawls to the corner before trying to use her hand to push up the window but it flips

everything was in pain, everything was burning and everything was bruised
she could barely see in a straight line until the figure leaned closer to her face making her cheeks sting as the tears spilled from her eyes
her eyelashes blinking them away.

"layla" a whisper came making slam her eyes shut trying to drown out the voices, the echos

her body freezing in fear as the shadows walked around her, making her mind race for a solution while the bags under her eyes swell her face

"layla" the voice snapped in front of her making her eyes snap open to find two warm hands placed on her cheeks
they weren't the hands she wanted the same hands that felt like home

but they were hands that gave a comforting feeling, a safe one.

her green eyes dazzle in the light as she fades them open, trying to make out the concerned figure in front of her
her eyes scanning the face before she lets out a sigh in realisation

"jackson?"

♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥

"will you stop panicking, she's fine" aven called rolling her eyes at the blonde boy who paced the living room floor in the château

"you don't know that aven" he says looking at the girl who sat in the chair throwing popcorn into her mouth

johnb and pope had left to go find heyward and convince the man to let them take some groceries for free as the château were running out of food
and layla had gone home to change out of her sandy clothes but hadn't returned after a few hours

"look, ill call her" aven shared grabbing her phone from her back pocket
"she'll answer, say she's running late and everything will be fine" she presses laylas number before putting it on speaker

the call didn't even ring, it cut off taking the brunette straight to voicemail
which made the blonde turn to face her with a look of panic while the girl nervously chuckles

"one more try" she calls in nervousness her leg starting to shake slightly
she pressed the number allowing it to call but having it take her straight to voicemail for a second try

she locks her phone before clicking her teeth and looking back up at the blonde boy who was biting on his lip with a frown

"okay" she whispers, "now we can panic" aven sighs before standing up and grabbing her bag

jj opens the fridge grabbing 2 beers from it and holding it to the girl who looks up at him

"seriously?" she asks him making him shrug his shoulders making the girl sigh and open her bag wider allowing the boy to place the beers in gently.

jj runs over to the counter searching for the keys to the girls car before aven looks up at him seeing him in distress

"jj" she calls making him ignore her and continue looking for the keys
aven placed her bag on the chair and walks over to the boy grabbing his shoulders

"what aven?!" he asks loudly making the girl raise her eyebrows at the boys distress

"we'll find her" she nods at the boy making him raise his hands to his head making him take his hat off to take a breath

"its scares me, what im willing to do for that girl, aven" jj sighs, before opening the draw in the kitchen and placing the gun on the counter

"well, we're all bad guys in someone's story" aven sighs picking up the gun and sliding it into her jeans
"might as well make the most of it" she winks before a loud knock at the door cuts them off

the duo turn to face the door hearing the loud knocks which rested against the frame outside
"you expecting anyone?" jj whispers to the girl making her look up at him

"let's see, it's not pope or johnb theyd walk in, sarah and my girlfriend are currently stranded in the middle of the ocean and layla is missing" aven lists off on her fingers making jj look down at her

"i have no friends, who the fuck would i be expecting" aven shrugged before someone knocked again making the two gulp

before aven walks towards the door slowly with jj hiding behind her shoulder making the girl turn to face him

"are you seriously being the little bitch, right now?" she asked making jj hush her before she rolls her eyes and turns around to face the door again

another series of knocks can be heard making aven speak up
"yeah?" she called making jj slap her shoulder mocking the girl with the word yeah coming from his lips

"aven!" a voice calls out sounding serious
"let us in!" it calls out making jj frown hearing the boys voice behind the door

"jackson?" aven whispered recognising the voice anywhere

aven reaches for the door handle and unlocking it seeing the boy with a man behind him
but what caught their eyes was the unconscious girl in jackson's arms that was still, too still

jackson barged his way through the door making sure the blonde girl that rested peacefully was comfortable before placing her on the sofa bed and allowing william to move forward

"what happened to her?" aven asks her voice breaking looking at her sister who looked sick
she looked cold, and she looked scared

"i don't know" jackson responds before turning to look at the blonde boy who just stood their watching her dainty figure

jj walks over to bed and sits on the floor next to her, taking her small hands into his own
he noticed the chipped nail polish at her fingers so he could immediately tell she was anxious about something
but he also noticed the faint bruises that surrounded her wrists
handprints, making his heart drop and a faint feeling rising

he looked at the unconscious girl before bringing her freezing hand to his lips and placing a kiss on her knuckles before holding them tightly

"jack" aven said making the boy look at her with a serious expression
"what the hell, happened to my sister?" she demanded him making the boy lick his lips before shaking his head

"i don't know the full story" he shrugs
"i got a call from an unknown number saying that layla had fallen off the cliff and landed in the lake next to my house, crossly cabin?" he says making aven look at the blonde girl with pain in her eyes

"obviously i ran there as fast as possible and found her body floating on the surface" he explained

"she was ice cold, aven" he whispered making her look up at the boy
"she was freezing" he went on before jj looked up to see the man that jackson had brought with him hold up a needle and go to press it into the girls arm

"woah!" he snapped standing up at stopping the man push the needle in
his hand gripping his wrist making jackson push jj off
"what the hell man!" jj snapped at jackson

"don't hurt him" jackson said
"he's going to save her life, but if you keep being a dumbass she's not going to make it, you hear me?"

jj looked at the blonde girl
who looked terrified yet peaceful at the same time, the purple surrounding her eyes and her skin pale

making jj shake his head before dropping back onto his knees and sitting next to the blonde girl holding her hand in his own
before watching the man stick the needle into her arm and push the liquid straight into her veins

"this is william" jackson spoke
"he's a family doctor, the number said layla was in trouble with scott and ward something about her addiction, i can't remember"

"said that they were going to hurt her if she didn't hide, so a hospital was out of the picture so i called him" jackson explained making aven raise her hand to wipe the tears that had fallen

"i didn't want my parents finding her, so when she passed out again, i brought her here" he shrugged

"ofcourse" aven scoffs shaking her head
"ofcourse it was scott" she whispered before taking a breath and looking down at her sister

"she's going to be okay, right?" jj asked his voice breaking slightly making jackson look at william and asking him the question in french to which william replies in the language

"yeah, she's just resting from the blow of the water" jackson said making jj look at the girl who rested peacefully

aven looked at the broken boy next to her sister before asking jackson if he and william could speak to her outside
jackson speaking to william in french making the man nod before following the girl outside

she opens the door looking at jj
"jj" she whispers making him look up at her,
"you've got 10 minutes" she smiles making the boy nod before watching her close the door again

jj looked at the blonde girl who looked warmer, her skin was less pale but her eyes were still purple with bags decorating her flesh

jj sighs before going into johnbs room and grabbing a blanket from the bed making the boy throw it over the girl and letting her rest deeper into the warmth of the château

jj sighs before climbing next to her and stroking her hair back
"i really need you to wake up, rosie" he whispered lightly before sniffling

"i need you to open those eyes, and show me that gorgeous smile that i miss so i can kiss you again" he whispers before holding her hand in his own

looking at the nail polish that reflected against the light, the boy sat up and wondered into the room he took most nights before entering the bathroom and seeing layla and avens bags on the counter

he reaches for the girls pulling it open and searching for the item he was looking for and pulling it out before walking back towards the couch and sitting next to the girl lifting her hand to rest on his leg before shaking the bottle of nail varnish and opening it up

having the colour spread across her nails hiding the chips and scratches in the old paint to give her a sense of comfort so she didn't have to be reminded of the anxiety she'd just been forced into

lifting her hand up to blow gently on the nails making his cold air hit her skin before feeling a slight twitch on his thigh

looking down to see the girls finger slightly moving
he screwed the nail varnish back up and placed it on the side before leaning close to the girl lifting her head up to place on his lap

"rosie" he whispered holding her face in his hands
"come on baby, open those eyes for me" he begged

and she did.

her green eyes fluttering open to feel the light burn into each eye causing her to squint before the light vanished

opening her eyes gently to see a hand in front of her face blocking the light from her vision
she didn't know whose hand it was as everything was coming back slowly, each sense developing and expanding as time went on

the one thing that made her heart jump was the hand that was holding her vision made her eyes slide down to the wrist seeing the blue beaded bracelet with the word dumbass wrote across it making her heart leap out of her chest

"jj" she cried, she could feel the tears flow down her face but she couldn't move her head, she was too tired

"hey, hey" he whispered leaning over her to be face to face with the girl while using his head to block the light so she could see him
"don't move, you've got to rest" he whispered making the girl nod gently

silence fills the room for a moment as jj keeps using his hands to caress her face and stroke her hair watching the girls eyes blink adjusting to the light

"im scared" she whispers making jj look down at her

the blonde boy sighs before pushing himself to lay next to the girl and watching her head tilt towards him slowly

"what happened, rosie?" jj asked making layla freeze, he watched as the blonde girls teeth started to grind her teeth

layla could feel her skin become warm and sticky with the sweat beginning to build up against her flushed skin
and the shallow breaths that she began to take making her remember the last thing her eyes saw

the last thing she made eye contact with was his guilty expression
before he watched her fall, she didn't want to see anything as she fell slamming her eyes shut as her body dropped her before feeling contact with the ocean surface

"im in trouble" she whispered making jj blink at the girl with a confused expression
"someone lied to my uncle, said that i have a coke problem still and i robbed the camerons of 2K to pay for them"

"their going to send me away, jj" she whispered feeling the cold tears which made her eyes cloudy and red with fear

"rosie" he whispered grasping at the girls cheeks before holding them lightly in his hands his fingertips running against her skin
"im not going to let them take you" he whispered back before leaning in and pressing his lips to the girl's forehead

the girl slammed her eyes shut making water pool from her lashes making the boy pull her closer to his chest
hearing his heart beat echo through her making her understand she was okay
and she'd always be okay with him

"hey" jj said making the girl look up at him as he raises his hand to wipe the tears that drowned her green eyes
"im with you okay? always." he says nodding at the girl confidently making the girl nod as well

before leaning back into his chest
"jj" she whispered making the boy hum in response making it rock through his chest and vibrate against the girl

"i love you" layla said her voice breaking making the boy sigh in sympathy

"i love you too" he whispered back making the blonde girl smile gently as she curled up into his arms

her body was in so much pain, she could barely move but she needed too
and she wanted too.

♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥

"what'd she say?" the brunette asked the blonde boy who led on the couch with the blonde asleep in his arms as william fiddled with his bag next to her

"someone snitched about the, uh...problem she had" jj mumbled watching the girl drift off into a peaceful sleep

she didn't look scared anymore, she looked relaxed, almost free.

"your uncles trying to send her away for it?" he shrugs looking from the blonde to the brunette in the corner who was picking at the beer bottle label

"that asshole" aven muttered under her breath, she knew who'd snitch
she told layla to stay away from the boy but she'd always go back and aven didn't know why.
layla didn't know why.

"assurez-vous qu'elle en prenne deux par jour, matin et soir." william spoke making the boy frown at the language barrier as jackson was in the bathroom
"elle devrait commencer à se sentir mieux dans une semaine environ, mais elle a besoin de se reposer"
he said shaking some pills in the air before placing them next to the couch

"oui, je m'assure qu'elle te remercie" aven spoke up making the doctor nod before packing his bag and leaving the château

"you speak french?" he asked the brunette girl who was sipping the beer

"apparently" she shrugged making him chuckle as the bathroom door unlocks revealing jackson who was looking stressed

aven sighed looking at the counter before jj forced a cough to get her attention making her look up at him who nodded towards jackson

aven groans rolling her eyes before placing her beer down and walking towards the boy that saved her sister

"look, i don't like you, never have" aven said making jj chuckle which jackson just furrowed his brows
"but thank you for helping layla, i appreciate you for stepping in" she whispered making jackson nod

"id always go back to save her" he said making aven cringe

"don't make me punch you" she shook her head making jackson laugh slightly before looking at the blonde girl in jjs arms

"look after her, okay?" he asked making aven nod as he smiles before grabbing his jacket and leaving the door

aven watched the boy that held onto the blonde girl seeing the way his eyes looked at her face
he looked at her how everyone wants to be looked at

he looks at her different from how he looked at other girls
he looked at her like the moon and stars shone out her eyes

aven sighs before grabbing her phone and walking into johnbs room to grab a jumper before walking back into the room and looking at the couple

"ill be back soon, watch her" aven said looking at her sister who finally looked at peace

"where are you going?" jj called from the couch looking confused at the brunette

"sort that asshole out" she groans grabbing the gun from the counter and slipping it into her jeans before leaving

"aven!" jj called before sighing and looking at the girl he had held for hours
most people would let them sleep alone but jj was selfish
he didn't want to leave her

he couldn't leave her.

♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥

the house looked darker, emptier, full
the walls looked higher and the ground felt more claustrophobic

the air suffocated the girl as she stepped into the house, slamming the door to gather the attention

"what the" she heard in the distance before his figure appeared round the corner

"why are you slamming my doors?" scott asked the girl in which she dropped her backpack to the ground and stared at the man

"what have you done to my sister?" aven asked making the man scoff and roll his eyes and the brunette

"your sister has problems" he said shaking his head

"you know who got her into those problems" she says making the man look at aven who just smirked
"rafe" she said making his face not move a muscle

"your precious rafe cameron, practically forced your niece to do drugs to point where she got addicted" aven explains

"we managed to get off them, then boom he goes and gets her them again fully aware that she quit"

"besides, rafe is the full addict here" aven scoffs licking her lips
"taking them to parties, when getting girls high so they'll do him"

"stop it" scott said

"that is why im into girls, because growing up in the outerbanks with you constantly on my ass, and our neighbourly friend shoving coke up my sisters nose has put me off men"

"you wanna know what happened to that 2K?" aven asks making scott point towards the breakfast bar where the girl sat making him stand behind the counter

"your niece helped him get out of the shit he had brought on himself so his dad wouldn't kill him" she glared as he opened the kitchen draw searching around for something

"you put the blame on the wrong person, because that little shit next door is getting away with it while layla can barely keep her eyes open for more than 20 minutes because you nearly killed her!"

"do not raise your voice at me" scott spits making the girl chuckle

"oh, im ever so sorry" aven apologises, "where are my manners, oh yeah" she reaches into her pocket before holding up her middle finger at the man who shakes his head

"what happened to you aven-lilly? you used to me so sweet and polite and then you got with the carrera girl and-" scott sighed rubbing his forehead

"let me make one thing clear right now, you marry that girl and ill put a bullet in your head" he glares

"why wait?" aven asks making scott slide open the draw of the counter and hold up a gun directing it straight at avens forehead

of course she was scared, but she couldn't show it.
he'd knew he'd one if he saw dear cross her face, so she shook her head with a smile

before she pulls the gun from her jeans and aiming it at his own forehead making his face drop

"you're a sick girl, aven-lilly" he snaps holding the gun towards her

"oh stop, please" she says, "i get it, you're proud of me" she smiles sarcastically at the man in front of her who clears his throat aiming is gun for her chest

"you must really like being a freak" scott says making aven chuckle

"you know what they say, sweet in the streets yet a freak in the sheets" she smirks making scott lower the gun from the girl and place it in the draw

she holds her gun up higher before clicking the safety off making his eyes snap up to her own
"call it off" she says making him grind his teeth, his knuckles turning white from gripping the counter

"what?" he asks her

"did i mumble?" aven snaps
"call it off!" she demands making scott pick up the phone and press a few buttons before turning it off

"sorted" he said making her lower the gun and place it back into her jeans

"hurt my sister, and i won't hesitate to pull that trigger" aven glares before turning around to the door and slamming it shut behind her

taking a deep breath, the cold air filling her lungs making her sigh
layla was going to be okay, and aven would always make sure layla would be okay.

the château was quiet that morning, te sun rose up and the sky was tinted a gorgeous pink and orange tone making it feel calm

johnbs eyes opened as the sun reflected through his window sending streaks of sun rays into his dull eyes
groaning with a stretch as he pulls his body up from the bed that he laid in before making his way into the spare room to see the bed the pope and aven shared cuddled up in one another's arms

"get up losers" johnb calls making aven stick her finger up in response and making pope stretch his body out

he smiled at the dark skinned boy who returns it before leaving and allowing them to get ready before walking into the lounge and seeing the two blondes snuggled up into the sofa bed

grabbing the pills that sat on the counter before kicking jjs side making him jump at the contact before looking at johnb

"what the fuck?" he asked before rubbing his eyes and turning his head to check on the blonde girl who cuddled into the duvet they had chucked over her body

johnb clicked his tongue making jj look up as he passes the pills and handing him the girls water bottle that rested on the side table

"get ready, we've got to get sarah and kiara" he said making jj nod in response before rubbing his eyes and looking over at the girl next to him

"layla" jj whispers hearing johnbs footsteps lead to the kitchen

"come on" he whispers nudging her shoulder making her groan and shrug the blonde off
"get, up" he said shoving her body lightly making her huff in annoyance

"i don't wanna" she said leaning closer into the duvet

"you have too" jj sighed, "we've got to go pick up kiara and sarah, remember the girls we left stranded?" jj spoke making layla open her eyes to look at him before slamming them shut again

jj sighs looking up at the ceiling before taking the girls arms and pulling her towards his body making her struggle in his grip and he lets her body rest between his legs her head on his stomach making her relax again falling deeper into his chest

"i thought i told you to get her up?" a voice said in front making jj look up at johnb

"i have" jj explained pointing to the girl
"she won't get up, not even to take her pill" he shrugs

johnb groans placing his cereal on the counter before walking over to the couch and kneeling in front of the girl
"layla" he whispers making her eyes open to look at the boy crouched in front of her

"can you take your pill please" he asks handing her the water and a pill in his hand making the girl sigh but nod her head and she pulls her body up

jj giving her a slight push with an confused expression as the girl sits up leaning against jjs front as she places the pill on her tongue and using the water to swish it down

"open" johnb says making layla roll her eyes as she opens her mouth showing the pill no longer there
"she's good" he nods making the girl let her weight drift against jj as he strolls her hair back

"can i stay here?" layla asks making johnb turn around and furrow his brows at the girl

"alone?" he asks making her nod her head
the boy giving her an uncertain look

"i just want to rest today, and i don't want to go near the water" she says taking a breath of the oxygen around trying to remind herself she can breathe

"uh?" johnb said looking at jj who just shrugged making johnb turn back to the girl
"promise you'll stay in?" he asks making the girl frown

"cross my heart, hope to die" she whispers making jj nudge her shoulder lightly

"not funny" he whispered into her ear making tingles shoot down her spine

♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥

the pogues had left an hour ago making the girl pull herself up from the bed, the baggy jumper covering her face and the leggings clinging to her legs that shook beneath her

she walked into the bathroom, pulling the string to turn to light on before seeing her reflection
she'd never looked worse, she'd have days with the occasional breakout or dry skin or bags that clouded her skin
even bruises from scott that places against her skin

but it was never this bad.
she looked pale, so pale it wasn't healthy
forgetting the last time she ate

she raised her jumped to look at her stomach which felt full but she knew it wasn't seeing her rib cage highlight and her bones feel weak

she gathers the water from the tap remembering the cold feeling that it brought to her

the water that dropped from her finger tips as she splashed her face and remembered the same feeling when her head smacked the surface of the ocean

taking in a sharp breath as she blinks her green eyes into the mirror and slamming the tap off sharply

her fingers clung to the counter as her face dripped with water before she dropped to her knees on the floor

the cold tiles beneath her reminding her off the waves that slammed her body downwards, holding her down and not letting her come back up

she looked at her hands as they shook, her freshly painted nails that were brought to her face rubbing her eyes

but everytime her eyes shut all she could hear was the crash of waves that drowned her
the darkness that evaporated her
the deepest secrets that hide in the ocean whispering into her ears as the pull her further down into the abyss

she remembers something, then nothing
she couldn't see anything she only felt and heard the water around her

the dark eyes that were filled of guilt as she heard the rock beneath her crunch before her vision got cut short
his eyes
rafes eyes.

♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥

hearing the soft knocks on the door makes the blonde call out
"open" she calls before seeing the dark haired boy open the door and smile down at the girl on the couch

"you sure you want to do this?" jackson asked the girl making her breathe to herself before nodding

"yes, im sure" she replies making the boy offer her a sympathetic expression making her roll her eyes
"don't give me that look, im fine" she smiles trying to convince the boy and herself

"ill be right beside you" he nods helping the girl stand as she hugs him tightly

♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥.·:*¨ ¨*:·.♥

sitting in the passenger seat outside the house looking as a car pulls off leaving the residence making the duo swing the doors open and letting the girl slowly pace herself towards the house

seeing the boy outside looking at his bike and inspecting the sides of the paint where it had been scratched

layla clears her throat making him turn around, his mouth opening as he takes in her appearance

"layla?" he whispered

"rafe" she nods making him furrow his brows before running over to her and letting her fall into his arms
she accepted the hug for a moment before pushing him off he frail body making him look down at her

"layla, im so sorry" he whispers as his eyes began to cloud up with the tears that threatened to fall which only made the girl confused

"why are you crying?" she asked him as he quickly wiped a tear

"im not" he shut off making the girl sigh in front of him how quickly he would change his emotions

"look, i just want to know why" she said making rafe look down as he chewed on his bottom lip

"i needed too" he whispered making her hurt more, the pain increase as the words that tumbled out

"you set me up, you were going to watch them send me away to get out of your trouble?" she said

"are you serious?" she asks making rafe grind his teeth and he nods his head
"you're lying" she said making him look at her, "what is it really, huh?" she asks making the boy ignore the comments

"stop ignoring me!" she expressed making him shove the blonde who tripped backwards landing in jackson's arms

"watch it" jackson glared at rafe who scoffed at the boy

"this your new fuck buddy?" he raised his brows
"got bored of maybank already?" he chuckles shaking his head

"that's not true and you know it" jackson said making rafe chuckle and lick his upper lip before letting his hand rub his jaw in thought

"im with jj" layla whispers making rafe look up hurt at the comment the fact that she was now with jj maybank didn't sit right in his stomach

"you wanna know why i did it?" he asked

"well that's what ive been asking you for the past five fucking minutes" she responds making him glare

"because you're weak" he spits
"and you'll always be weak that's why i use you so often, you can't even fight your own battles in your head" he laughs making the girls expression drop

"can't even defend yourself from a middle aged man" he smirks making jackson let go of layla as he rushes over to hit rafe

but a tug on his arm stops him watching as rafe looked between the two

"forget it, let's go" layla says tugging jackson in the direction of the car as he lets out a breath and sorts out his shirt

"i bet he's well disappointed that talk didn't kill you, now he's got to finish the job" rafe laughed
"that's why i lied about you having the drugs and stealing the money, maybe getting you off this island wasn't enough, maybe after all the shit you've put me through i wanted to see you dead" he smiles as the girl turns around throwing her fist straight into his nose making the boy fall back as she shakes her hand in pain

jackson looks at the boy on the floor holding his nose before grasping the girls hand and pulling her towards the vehicle which they get in and shut the doors

jackson sighs turning to layla who just laughs quietly to herself before looking at the boy who bit his lip in amusement

"well?" jackson asks

making the girl pull out a tape recorder from her pocket and clicking play
"that's why i lied about you having the drugs and stealing the money"
you heard rafes voice play over the recording before her thumb clicks the stop button

"got it" she smirks
