What a time for you and I ~ Jiara

i need you

Kiara pov:

It was 11:30 am. I had a feeling I should have waited for tomorrow, but Pope went home, and my parents would probably have heard about it by tomorrow.

I took a deep breath before I reached for the spare key hidden in the fern beside the porch. I searched around for it but there was nothing. I sighed.

I guess I have to knock. I thought to myself.

They were probably still up anyway.

I lifted my hand and threw three hard knocks. To my dismay, my mother answered.

"Oh my- KIARA" She yelled frantically. "Mike-Mike get over here"

She grabbed my arm and pulled me inside.

"WHAT THE HELL KIARA"

"Mom I'm really sorr-"

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? WE THOUGHT YOU WERE MISSING, KIARA WE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD"

Tears started swelling up in my eyes.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH SHIT YOU HAVE PUT US THROUGH?" She started crying

"I didn't mean for it to turn out like that"

"No Kiara!! You never do!"

I heard loud footsteps approaching. I look over to see my dad.

"Kiara-"

My eyes soften. If anyone at all I didn't want to hurt him.

"Dad-"

"I've never been so disappointed in you Kiara."

I felt terrible.

"It's those damn Pogues. They changed her. If they never existed she'd still be Kiara."

"No mom, it's the Kooks! You have no idea!!"

"I don't want to hear it Kiara. You're going to that school for troubled teens. And you're going tomorrow."

"What the hell?" I yelled. "I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS"

"GO TO YOUR ROOM NOW KIARA. IF YOU LEAVE I SWEAR YOU WILL NEVER SEE THOSE POGUES EVER AGAIN!"

I ran into my room and shut the door. It's just not fair. The Pogues are all I have. Without them I don't know what I'll do. I started hyperventilating. What are they doing to me, they're ripping every bit of happiness I have left away. I felt like I was having a panic attack. Like my lungs were being pulled from my chest. My heart rate was rapid and my breathing was unsteady.

My phone began to ring. I almost threw it across the room before I remembered I would receive a call from JJ.

I picked up the phone. "J-JJ" I began. I tried to calm my breathing and relax my voice but I couldn't.

"Kie? Are you alright?"

I paused.

"No" I whispered.

"I'm coming to get you."

"No JJ, you-you can't. It will make things way worse..please."

"Kie-"

I sniffled.

"I can stay on the phone with you all night, however long you need. I'm here"

A warmth came over me. JJ's voice was so calming. He sounded.. safe.

"Try and relax. Don't think about it. Everything will be fine. I promise."

I laid back on my bed and kept the phone to my ear. "Don't hang up.."

"I won't."

Kie closed her eyes and eventually fell asleep.

JJ stayed up half the night waiting to make sure she was okay. When he fell asleep, he still kept the phone going all night so if she needed him, he would wake up.
