DRIVING THROUGH The Outer Banks always made Kennedy fall into her thoughts, watching the trees fly by made her mind race. Especially when she wasn't the one driving. Being the driver always made the constant thoughts and worries cease, and now as she sat in the back of John B's van, others around her chatted away. Some of her knew she should've been active in the conversations surrounding her, but the bigger part just couldn't.

This day had already been nothing but a mess and acting like everything was okay was something Kennedy couldn't comprehend. Not when there was a text on her phone that made her poor mood even more sour. Kennedy's phone was tightly gripped in her hand as she occasionally stared down at the opened screen, reading her mother's words over and over. Figuring out how it was a good time to bring up her issues when the others around her were so hellbent on finding this gold. She thought her problems were not significant enough to the pogues, so she assumed the minute she brought it up, JJ and Riley were the only ones who would actually volunteer to help.

The text her mother sent was simple, telling the blonde that she had until midnight tonight or else everything she owned was getting thrown out on the curb. The information made the girl sick to her stomach knowing her mother was a woman of her word. Everything, all the memories, anything that had a hint of remembrance of Kennedy was going to get thrown out. Kennedy knew she was getting the treatment that Maggie went through. Pictures of the eldest Thornton sibling used to line the walls of their mansion, but they got taken down, report cards, graduation photos, everything was eventually stripped from the walls, leaving it seem like she never existed in the first place.

Kennedy knew that tomorrow would be the day that her mother forever erased her from her home and her thoughts. It hurt Kennedy that the woman would do that without any remorse like the girl had meant nothing to her, just simply a pawn in her big game. There was always a part of Kennedy that hoped that her mother would just finally see through everything and see how happy JJ made her, how much he made her light up. She hoped her mother would just let her be, realize her wrongs, and try to make an effort. But that was just a pipe dream. The bruise on her cheek could attest to that.

She hated that her mother was all she could think about, she wanted to think about how she was finally free and had people that cared about her well-being. But as she sat in this car, all she could think about was how she wished things would've gone differently.

The other three that remained in the back with her had been conversing since they left Battery Jasper, and they hadn't paid much attention to the quietness of Kennedy. But she should've known that the blond boy next to her would've eventually found it odd. The thing she didn't know was that he had been watching her since they got into the van. There previously was a lightness to her walk, to how she carried herself. But about five minutes into the drive, JJ couldn't help but notice her shoulders carrying a weight he hadn't noticed before.
