GLITCH.
035 | you beat up Rafe Cameron?

" DONT GO!" JJ wined, keeping ahold of Renee's hand making it extremely difficult for her to change even if it was only JJ's shirt and a pair of John B's sweatpants until she got home and was able to get changed into her own clothes,

After watching John B be wheeled on a gurney into an ambulance and Sarah Cameron more or less deciding she was going to go with him, leaving his friends practically in the dark about the entire situation except a single text Sarah sent to Renee in the early hours of that very morning

FROM: SARAH CAMERON 😑

he's awake, fractured arm but doctors are saying he'll be discharged by the morning :)

Leaving some sort of peace in all of their minds, Kiara and Pope left together and so did Renee and JJ who decided to escape to the empty and surprisingly somewhat tidy chateau. Spending the earliest hours of the morning asleep in the hammock, using the thinnest of blankets but their body heat keeping them warm.

" I need to go home, my moms probably sent a hunting party out for me dead or alive." Renee hummed " especially after the events of last night."

" I'll hide you...just don't go." his positioned being sat on the floor, forcing his weight down making it even more complicated for Renee to worm her way out of the chateau door.

She huffed, bending down on her knees until she was eye level with JJ who moved forward to rest his forehead against hers — pouting in a plead for her to stay.

" god, you're lucky I'm so into you." the girl groaned in defeat, earning a smirk from her boyfriend who obviously reciprocated the feeling.

edging in, his lips delicately brushed on top of hers — noticing the hitch of her breath as he did so was sending him insane. It was not healthy for one person to drive you insane with the smallest things.

" feelings mutual baby." He spoke against her lips, before firmly planting a kiss on her, loosening his grip on her enough for her to slide her hands over his shoulders and deepen the kiss.

As much as she would have wanted to stay in that position all day, she decided on sliding her hands off of her boyfriend and pulling away. JJ ached for her touch as soon as they weren't connected in some sort of way.

" I'll meet you at the wreck." Renee quickening her pace as she noticed JJ launch up from his seat on the floor of John B's living room and begin to chase after her.

" Ren!" his voice hollered as she could feel the heavy thuds of his footsteps on the ground only encouraging her to move faster towards the end of the yard as her car was at her house.

Although it was almost inevitable. Renee was still surprised when JJ's arms wrapped  around her waist and lifted her legs off the ground stopping her from continuing to run.

" JJ!" her voice let out a slight squeal as he began to pepper kisses against her exposed skin.

" at least let me have a civilised conversation with you." she huffed — prompting JJ to drop her back down so she could face him.

Greeted by his signature childish grin, she couldn't help but smile as they spent the next few seconds just looking at each other.

" alright." JJ sighed " how about a compromise?" his hands raising as Renee cocked an eyebrow.

" a compromise?" she asked, confused.

" yeah, I'll take you home on my bike and then." He stopped himself, " well that's it."

JJ's attempt to spend more time in his girlfriends company was extremely transparent.

" so I get nothing?" JJ shook his head at her sarcastic remark.

" no, you get five to ten minutes longer with me depending on the traffic in town." Renee smiled brightly at his words, nodding and caving into his request.

" fine," Renee caved, before pointing a finger in the boys direction "but only because my feet are still hurting from all that running from last night."

"are you sure you don't mean your legs?" Renee felt her jaw fail to clench after hearing his remark, JJ was obviously amused by her reaction and began to laugh, silently leading her towards the bike.

" HAVE YOU ANY IDEA OF WHAT EMBARRASSMENT YOU CAUSED THIS FAMILY!" Caroline yelped at her children, who sat in a silence at the end of the dinner table.

After JJ had dropped her home, Renee hadn't been in the house for less than ten seconds before being paced the firing end of her mother's rage with steam practically streaming out her ears and her eyes a dark colour.

She was surprised when her brother was seated down beside her, soon enough earning the same amount of anger fuelled attention from their mother.

Occasionally Lennon and Renee would even look at each other and have to pull themselves together to stop themselves from laughing.

" what would your father say, if he saw you two this way." she told them sharply " I know, he'd be so disappointed on how you two turned out."

Renee furrowed her eyebrows: she knew that she had some something worth this wrath...but Lennon? golden boy? what had he done so bad.

" I expected this from you Renee, running off with your little pogue friends and new criminal boyfriend." Renee had become numb to words that were meant to jab her — the blades of her moms  slowly becoming blunt to her skin as the months had passed.

" but you Lennon." Flickering her eyes to the older child , diverting her attention to her oldest child with a pure look of disappointment

" I expected better from you, I mean-" she stopped to let out an exaggerated sigh.

" beating up Rafe Cameron" she sighed "what was that all about?"

Renee turned her head in shock, mouth shaped in an 'o' whilst she wondered since when her older brother had turned on Rafe.

" you beat up Rafe?" she asked in a curiosity as she didn't believe it herself. " why did you beat up Rafe?"

Lennon smirked at his sisters words which were spoken in an awe and slight jealousy that he managed to do it before her. Nodding and leaning further back in his chair. In a proud cockiness.

" I don't why you look so pleased with yourself Lennon, because you're going to go up to tanny hill and apologise!"

" am I fuck?" Lennon scoffed at the idea before squinting "he deserved it, he's an asshole."

" where is all this coming from!" Caroline scoffed, leaning further on the end dining chair. Her nails gripping the material of the chair tighter as her annoyance was slowly beckoning her closer.

" Rafe's your best friend, he has been since you were ten." Lennon shook his head at his mother's words, a slight anger distilling itself in him at her now false words.

" no he's not, not after last night!" Lennon's tone deepened and voice rose in a noticeable way. Renee turned her head, being as clueless as her mother as it came down to the events of last night.

" if you had heard the things he said about..." Renee was the object of his gaze, looking saddened by the clueless look in her eyes, clueless to what Rafe had said about her, she didn't deserve any of it.

" or the things he's done, you would've done the same Ma." he concluded before slouching back into his seat.

JJ had mentioned Lennon being present when he was being hassled in the bathroom yet assured her that he played no malicious part in the events that happened. Renee couldn't help but wonder that maybe it was something said in the locker room combined with her retelling of the golf course scene that brought upon this sudden change of heart for her brother.

" your father would be disappointed in you both." Renee's head turned back instantly at her words that were guaranteed to sting a little. they did.

" you especially Lennon."

Renee was so use to being her families disappointment that it didn't even cross her mind that she could be the golden child for even a mere second. not that if it was something she wanted.

The silence overcame all three of them. A sense of awkwardness thickening into tension — although it didn't last long as she hoped it would.

" I'm going out." Caroline announced in the midst of a sigh " once again I have to fix your mistakes."

The two siblings sat in a awkward silence as the sound of heels clicking furthered from the dining room and towards the front door. Renee only daring to open her mouth after the extremely hard slam of the front door rang through her ears.

" you fucking punched Rafe?" her words came out in a laughter the product of her awe and shock that he would do something like that.

" yeah. what about it?" obviously shrugging it off as if it were nothing.

Renee furrowed her eyebrows " well..why?" she questioned, not liking the bluntness of her brothers answers.

Lennon didn't want to tell her. He didn't want to tell her the things Rafe had said about her knowing it was a lie and especially that he was aware she would be hurt by Rafe's comments.

Looking at his little sister who had big doe eyes whilst waiting patiently for his answer that pressured the corner of his lips into turning up by the teeniest amount as he shook his head as an answer.

" guys an asshole." Renee's mouth gaped open as a jolt of excitement filled her. Yet she still sat back

" you believed me." she hummed " you actually believed what I said about Rafe and finally see him as the asshole that he is."

Pure joy spread across her lips as she began to clap her hands together as an attempt to applaud her brothers arc of maturity.

" okay maybe I did." his words weren't exactly lies as he did find truth in his sisters words but wasn't the main reason for his sudden change of heart.

" but it's not a big deal, so don't make it a big deal." he brushed it off and as much as Renee wanted to do the complete opposite, through her excitement she found herself compromising and nodding as the realisation of how hard it must be for her brother crossing her mind.

Slipping from the dining table chair, she walked around and towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

" I'm going to see John B, I'll probably be late." she began to jog up the stairs.

Finally turning around as she pointed towards Lennon who was still lounged in the seat and now scrolling on his phone.

" If you need me and I don't pick up the phone I'll probably be at the chate- John B's house."

Finally showing a small but sincere smile at her brother before continuing her jog upstairs to change and meet her friends at the wreck.

Stopping in the middle of the steps as she turned back around, her brothers nose already in his phone, " hey Len?" Renee hummed.

Len, she hadn't called him that in a long time.

He lifts his gaze, looking at his sister with a soft curving of his lips which he also hadn't done naturally in a while " yeah Ren?"

The girl smiled " I think dad would be proud to know at least one of us inherited his uppercut."

She heard a laugh before turning back around and continuing up to her room.

Maybe her big brother wasn't as big of an asshole that she once thought.

AUTHORS NOTE.
chapter one of Lennon not being a complete ass hole, I had the intentions of giving him a redemption as soon as I realised I wanted Renee to have a sibling. 

Hope you enjoyed!!
