Closed Door ? JIARA ?

JJ's POV:

I sat up in bed and I saw Kie standing there. She was crying, she was a complete mess. It was a stormy night out she jumped when the thunder hit.

She didn't say anything. She just walked over to me and hugged me. She was bawling and I wrapped my arms around her. I didn't know what was wrong but I still cared about her.

"What's wrong?" I asked worried

"I can't talk right now. Can I stay here tonight?" She asked

"Yeah.." I said moving over more

She laid down and cuddled up next to me. I wrapped my arms around her and she fell asleep on my chest. This was by far the strangest thing that's ever happened. I wanted to know what was wrong. I wanted to scream at her for cheating on me. I wanted to kick her out, but part of me knew she needed to stay.

I fell asleep and when I woke up, Kie was gone. I got ready for school and realized that Kie skipped school today. I didn't even care we had a test in math today. I left the building and went to the ocean. I was going to surf, but I was in luck. I saw Kie sitting on the beach in our spot.

"Hey.." I said walking up to her

"Hey." She said almost in a whisper

"We should talk about last night.." I said concerned

"There's not much to say." She said still not looking at me

"Kie, you came into my room in the middle of the night in tears. You slept next to me all night and you were gone when I got up. You've been avoiding me for almost two weeks. Please talk to me.."

"Not here.." She said

"Where?" I asked

"Island.." She said quietly

We took my bike to John B's and she went to the boat and I went and packed a small bag of food, drinks, and a blanket.

She wrapped up in the blanket and didn't say a word the whole way out there. We got there and she went and sat by the fire and I went and sat next to her.

"Kie, what's going on?"

"I need you to promise you aren't going to freak out. That's why we're here. There is no one for you to fight or punch."

She looked at me and said, "It's a really long story but there's this guy and his name is Ben. Our moms grew up together and they were in town the last week and a half. That's why I've been so busy. My mom has had every minute of my life planned out with Ben this last week.

It started with dinner at the country club and I tolerated it because what was I supposed to tell her. But then things changed with Ben. I was laying in bed five days ago and he came in my room..

I cut Kie off and said, "I know. I picked up a shift and I saw you guys. I sat you holding hands and flirting with him. So save yourself the pain and I'll end the relationship for you. We're done. Over. Enjoy your kook boyfriend. I knew this was too good to be true. I knew you could never love me."

I stormed off into the woods of the island and Kie sat there crying. I decided to explore this place more. I used to when I was little but the trees have grown since.

Kiara's POV:

I had been busy at home with our new house guests. My mom's childhood best friend, Diane was here with her husband, Anthony, and their son, Benjamin.

I've known Ben since we were kids and since we were little, our moms have always tried to set us up. It was the most annoying thing ever. They arrived in town and my parents convientetly forogt to tell me.

The first thing we did was a dinner at the country club. Ben was worse than Rafe and Topper combined. He only cared about himself and money. He grabbed my hand I moved it away as I used it to take a sip of water. I used my hand and nervoulsy played with my hair.

The dinner took forever and I wished I was with the pogues, just hanging out. I hated the kook life.

John B, Pope, and JJ have been asking me to hang out but my mom took my phone away to encourage me to spend more time with Ben. It was his fourth night here and his family was staying at my house.

He came into my room and I said, "Get out."

He came and put his hand over my mouth and he kissed my neck. I was pushing him back but he was so much stronger than me. He moved his hand to my throat and he lightly pushed down.

"It will get tighter if you scream or resist me.." He threatened

He lifted my shirt off and I tried to move away but his grip tightened. He took his shirt off and he left bruised all over my body from me fighting back.

I was in only my underwear when I heard my mom coming upstairs. I started to kick the wall and she came to my door but it was locked.

"Kiara, why is your door locked. Open it immediately.." She demanded

Ben quickly let go as my mom kept knocking and I put my clothes back on and Ben went to the closet. I opened the door and said, "I'm not feeling good mom."

"What's wrong?" She asked

"I don't know, my stomach hurts really bad."

"Maybe you got food poisiong?" She asked rubbing my back ightly

"Maybe... I had the same thing as Ben. Can we go see if he's feeling okay?" I asked

"In the morning, darling.." She said

"Go back to bed.." My mom said as she went in her room and I took off down the stairs and I ran to JJ's house

It took me about thirty minutes to get there. I was a complete mess when I showed up. I didn't know what to do. I still had to process what happened. I didn't know what to tell him so I didn't.

JJ let me spend the night and I felt so safe in his arms. When I woke up, I left because I wanted to avoid the coversation about why I was crying last night. I knew I couldn't go home and I couldn't go to school as Ben would look there for me. So I went to John B's and showered there and changed into some clothes I had left there.

I didn't go home for three days and my parents must have been worried but I didn't care. I wasn't going back until Ben was gone.

I ended up at the beach, alone where JJ showeed up. I knew I had to tell him so I had him take me to his island so he wouldn't try to kill Ben. I knew he would freak out and I didn't want him to do something stupid.

I just felt so drained and empty inside. When I finally started to tell him, he freaked out and thought I was cheating on him. He took off into the woods and I sat there crying all alone. I just wanted JJ to hold me but he broke up with me. I sat there on the beach. Completely numb.
