"Sorry, you're staying where?" Kie asked, while grabbing a plate out of the cabinet. We were at The Wreck, the restaurant which was owned by Kie's parents.
"Tannyhill," John B responded.
"So you're living with Sarah Cameron," I judgmentally stated.
"Okay, look, the only reason I'm living there is because her dad bailed me out, right? And it's way better than foster care, which, by the way, is where I was about to go if Ward didn't-"
"Hey, so like, you have a membership to the clubs now?" Pope interrupted John B.
"I don't know, Pope."
JJ and Pope kept mocking John B by asking if he got one of those golf carts, a sweater vest and a whole lot of other stuff.
"Look you promised," Kiara said.
"Yea, you said you weren't with her," I added.
"Look if you want to hang out with her that's fine, but I'm letting you know that I'm not doing anything with Sarah," Kie continued.
"Do you guys see her here?" John B asked. "No, right, okay. A little focus would be fantastic. We've got the map, right?"
We started studying the map again. I glared at John B and he shot me an apologetic smile.
When we figured out where we needed to go, we started driving around the island. We ended up at the Crain house. "Worst case scenario."
JJ started to tell us horror stories about Hollis Crain, the daughter of the owner of the house. We started looking around the house. We went into some basement, but didn't find anything.
"Know why we didn't find it?" Kie asked. "Bad karma."
"Oh god, here we go," John B sighed.
"You know we had a good thing going. And then you decide to rope in Barbie, and now the trail's gone dry. Coincidence? Probably not." Kie ranted.
"This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you about Sarah," John B looked irritated. "What the hell is the deal with you two?"
"Nothing," Kie was getting angrier.
"Nothing? Is it because I kissed you? Is that the problem?" John B had a smug smile on his face and he sounded condescending as he spoke to Kie. He might as well have been Rafe.
Clap.
Kie bitch clapped him. Pope and JJ both gasped: 'oh, shit.'
"Stop treating me like some girl that's obsessed with you, instead of your best friend, whose actually trying to look out for you."
You go Kie.
"And what about me, John B?" I interrupted. "I mean, let's finally be honest right? Don't you think your best friend deserves to know the truth?"
"Kaila, not here. Not now." John B had a stern look on his face.
"No, because you know, it's funny to me. You kiss me, then turn around and kiss Kiara. Then you come back to me, tell me that that was a mistake, kiss me again, multiple times, and now what? You just fell in love with Sarah Cameron all of a sudden? What, like I didn't mean anything?"
John B was silent and looked at JJ, trying to figure out what was going on inside my brother's head. If we weren't on a mission right now, I believe there's an actual chance JJ would've killed him.
"You did what to my sister?"
"Look, man, she's old enough to make those choices for herself, alright?" John B protested. "It just happened. It's over now. Don't worry."
