Kie's POV:

My heart broke for JJ hearing how Luke talked to him and about him. I wanted to comfort him and tell him that I loved him but it would have just sounded like pity. JJ took off and I've sent him so many texts and left many voicemails.

Kie: Jayge, please talk to me. I'm worried about you

Kie: Whatever is going on we can handle it, together

Kie: JJ, you're scaring me. Please just let me know you're alright

Kie: I'm here for you, always. Not matter what it is, I'm here. I care about you so much ❤️

It's been two days and I was worried. At lunch, he showed up and I sprinted to his arms.

He smelled like booze and he was still in the same clothes he was in when he left. He broke the hug and he broke up with me. I was crying in front of everyone at lunch and Cody was the one to come hug me.

I didn't want to hug Cody, but I needed a hug. He walked me out of school away from everyone and I was sobbing.

"He's an ass for doing that in front of everyone. Come on, let me take you home"

"I can drive" I said not wanting to leave my car here

"Fine, but I'm going to follow you home"

Cody followed me home and he came inside and I said, "I just want to be alone right now"

"Okay, text me if you need anything. You know I still love you and I hate seeing you in pain"

Cody left and I sat on the couch and curled up in a blanket and I was fully prepared to sit there and rot for the rest of my life. It feels like someone ripped my heart out of my chest, brutally murdered it, tried to sew it back together, failed, and just shoved what was left back into my chest.

I wanted so badly to just text JJ and tell him that I loved him but he didn't deserve to hear it over a text and in this situation. I wanted him to truly know I meant it. I didn't realize how many hours I'd been laying there when my parent's walked in the door from work.

"Kiara, what's wrong?" My mom asked immediately knowing something was off

"JJ broke up with me" I said starting to cry again

My mom hugged me and I broke down all over again in her arms. My dad sat down too and asked, "Do you need me to kick his ass?"

"No" I said as that was the last thing JJ needed

"I need you to be kind to him when and if he shows up to work"

"Honey, what happened?" My dad asked

"I don't want to talk about it right now" I said wiping my tears so I could go back to being numb

I went upstairs and took a shower, crawled into bed for the night. Sarah texted me and I just ignored it.

Sarah: I heard what happened at lunch, looks like mission get Cody back is going according to plan

I skipped school the next day and that wasn't a good idea because we only had two days left before summer. That night, Sarah came over and she was all happy until she saw me.

"Kie, why are you so sad? Your plan is going perfect! Cody still loves you and wants you back and you and JJ ended your fake relationship"

I looked up at her with tears in my eyes and it was in that moment she knew. I don't know how she didn't notice sooner.

"Holy shit..." She said suddenly super interested in everything and sitting on the bench at the end of my bed

"Yeah... It's kinda fucked up"

"When did you know?"

"Honestly, I don't know... For a while I guess. I just didn't want to admit it. I always forget it was fake"

She hugged me and said, "I'm so sorry, Kie..."

"I slept with him" I admitted as she knew that was part of the rules and it was a really big deal for me

Sarah could do random hook-ups and she has. She's tried to set me up a few times but I could never do it. It took me almost a year of dating Cody to lose my virginity to him. Now, here I am after 'fake dating' JJ for less than two months and I slept with him.

"Does he know how you feel?" She asked

"I never got to tell him before it all blew up" I said explaining everything to her

She hugged me and I cried. I was so stressed as we had finals the next two days before school was out for summer. Finals. I said goodbye to Sarah and I drove to the Chateau and knocked on the door.

John B and Pope opened the door and he said, "We thought you were JJ. He's been ignoring our calls all day"

"I know it's like bro code or whatever to hate me but please make sure JJ is okay and please make him study and take his finals. If he doesn't take his finals he'll have to repeat junior year again"

"Why do you even care? He dumped you" John B said

"Because I do, please just make sure he takes his finals" I said leaving the Chateau

I made it through finals and completely ignored every single human being at school, including JJ. He wouldn't even look at me. School was done for the year and I spent the next three days rotting away in bed.

I was going over to Sarah's today to help distract me. We were taking one of their boats out and I showed up and stopped and Cody were there. She apologized and I just went with it.

We were out on the marsh and Cody stayed close to me. He asked how I was doing and he said he wasn't trying to push me back into dating but he just wanted to be there to support me. I just felt so numb and dead inside. My heart began to race when I saw the HMS Pogue. John B, Pope, and JJ were on it. JJ... I looked at Topper and said, "Please slow down when we pass them"

"Fuck no" He said speeding up

JJ didn't even look up when we passed. Cody yelled, "I won, I got the girl"

"Fuck off pogues" Topper yelled

About an hour later, we headed back to Sarah's and I got right in my car and left. I drove to the Chateau the boat was there. I knocked on the door and John B opened it.

"He doesn't want to see you"

"I'm so sorry for what Topper and Cody said. I'm not back with Cody. I just want him to know that"

"Yeah, whatever" John B said closing the door on me which I deserved

I left the Chateau and I went home and my dad informed me that JJ hasn't been showing up to work. I could deal with this anymore right now, I went to bed super early that night. I missed JJ. I missed hugging him and kissing him. I missed knowing he was always there for me. I missed us being friends. I missed everything about him.
