promise?

14.

rafe killed peterkin. rafe killed peterkin. rafe killed peterkin. no he didn't.

i wish i could erase what i've just seen. i'm scared. i lived with him. i had sex with him. i was with him like an hour ago. what the hell is going on right now? rafe is a murderer. a murderer.

jj rushes down to the boat, the laptop in his hands while john b has his arm around me, guiding me down the steps.

"y/n? what happened?" kie asks.

"we need to leave, like now." jj says.

pope gets in the drivers seat and starts to drive away.

"what happened y/n? what did you find?" sarah asks, putting her hand on mine.

"rafe. he- he-" i stutter, starting to break down again.

"what did he do y/n?" kiara asks.

"he murdered peterkin." john b says.

sarah let's go of my hand, her hand pounding against her face.

"what did you find?" pope asks.

"holy shit." kiara whispers to herself.

"how do you know?" pope asks.

jj lifts the laptop up.

"scooters laptop. it has a bunch of files. y/n went through them and found this." john b says.

"what the hell? so we take it to the police!" kie shouts.

"no." john b starts, "i'm gonna get him myself."

"but that means y/n has to stay with him." sarah says.

i cant. i just cant.

john b looks at me hopelessly.

"please y/n." he begs.

i sit and think for a moment.

"yea- okay." i agree, nodding.

kie puts her arm around me.

"but for now.." she starts, "let's have fun."

everyone nods and starts laughing.

"on the other hand.." jj says.

".. we found this." he finishes, lifting a gun and a stack of money.

"a gun?!" kiara shouts.

"i told you guys not to let him do anything stupid!" pope yells.

"and we told you no promises." john b replies.

sarah looks at me, her face saddens.

"y/n.." she starts, "that must be a lot for you to see right now."

me? does she mean she knew? or expected it? why isn't she affected the same way i am? it's her brother, he's just my boyfriend.

"yeah.." i say.

jj hands me his weed pen, me looking up at him.

"nothing wrong with a little weed." he says.

i take it. i need it right now.

"hey i have an idea!" jj starts, "let's throw a party!"

"you watch a video of peterkin getting shot and decide that you want to throw a party?" pope asks, sarcastically.

jeez pope. way to sugar coat it.

"why not? that means we'll be closer to rafe. it's better for john b. plus, we throw it at the boneyard, kooks cant mess with us." jj replies.
