"What are you doing, step-bro?" Bianca teased, trying to stifle her giggles as she drove her convertible over to John B's Chateau.
"Ew, B!" Sarah swatted her best friend's arm, "Shut up- it's not like that!"
Sarah and filled Bianca in about what happened at the hospital- Ward Cameron had basically adopted John B after she'd expressed that he'd been running from DCS for a while, since his uncle was MIA and he had no legal guardian. Sarah explained how Ward was enthralled by John B protecting her at the Hawk's nest from Topper- which Bianca thought was total bullshit because as psycho as Topper could be, he'd never intentionally hurt the girl- and how Ward forgave him for stealing his scuba gear.
"So," Bianca hummed as they headed into Pogue territory, "Is he going to be on the family Christmas card, now?"
"No- I don't know," Sarah cried in exasperation, "I'm still trying to figure it out- and then there's Topper who's acting like a total psycho!"
Bianca frowned, "Topper came to see you?"
"Yeah, like right before you picked me up- he asked about John B," Sarah huffed, crossing her arms over her chest and watched as the houses got smaller and shabbier, "He kept saying how he didn't push him and that he just lost his balance, but I saw him."
Sarah turned to face her best friend, "And then told me he loves me, but he doesn't B, he loves the idea of me and being seen with me, but he doesn't love me."
Bianca felt that way sometimes too- that her relationship with Rafe was just for show. At first it was nice, he took her to fancy restaurants and bought her expensive gifts, but now, the cracks were starting to reveal itself. It felt that way when they went to Island Club parties, it felt that way when her mother told her not to break up with Rafe, it felt that way when they walked out together at Midsummers and Bianca wasn't sure she liked playing dollies and dress up anymore.
"I told him I can't be with him, not after last night," Sarah spoke lowly, "And speaking of last night- what happened? JJ told me he'd drive you home."
"Nothing," Bianca mumbled, turning back to the road ahead, "He just stayed the night."
"What!?" The Cameron girl gaped, "Did you guys.." She trailed off.
