｡･ﾟﾟ･･ﾟﾟ･｡Chapter 17 ｡･ﾟﾟ･･ﾟﾟ･｡

Typically, Frankie found outdoor movie nights to be a lot of fun. She found the experience romantic and unique. However, this time, she couldn't truly enjoy herself. After sinking Topper's boat and the incident with Topper and Rafe at Heyward's restaurant, she felt uneasy. Attending an outdoor movie night in a kook neighborhood didn't feel welcoming or friendly under the circumstances.

The outdoor movie was set up outside, surrounded by a small building. Chairs were placed in front of a projector, along with cushions and blankets to enhance comfort. Food and drinks were arranged on a nearby table, keeping them out of the way. Lucky for Frankie and Kiara, they had brought their own snacks, as they knew Pope and JJ were more inclined to rely on the free food of their friends rather than the food stand.

The four friends gathered together, but the absence of John B was noticeable. They went to the Château, hoping to see him, only to find the place empty and in disarray. There was no sign of him, like he had vanished completely. The lack of restocked food, power, and the presence of dust everywhere made it appear as if John B had never existed.

"I'm go glad that they're still doing this. Keep calm. Carry on. Back to OBX life." Kiara spoke leading the three towards where they could sit, "You know? Aren't you glad I made you come?"

"Ecstatic." Pope states sarcastically, trailing behind the curly brunette slowly.

"My couch was pretty comfy, I'll be honest." JJ states, pulling the cap down that sat ontop of his head.

"Oh yeah I actually agree, his couch was pretty comfy for once." Frankie agreed as she walked beside JJ, earning a slightly glare from Kie.

"We're out of the green zone, man." Pope stepped to the side, whispering down to the blonde.

"Dude, tranquilo, okay?" JJ whispered back.

"We're in the middle of kooklandia. This is the last place i wanted to be." Pope replies worriedly.

"Shut up, Pope." JJ snapped back.

"Will you two calm down." Frankie looked over at the two shaking her head, "Luckily for you, your protector is here. None one in kooklandia would come near you both while I'm here." She states proudly.

Kiara placed her bags down staring over at the three with a raised brow. "Frankie, you coming to get some drinks with me?" She asked the red head. Frankie looked over sending a girl a small, nodding her head before looking back at the two boys who faces dropped.

"You said you would protect us princess." JJ states.

"She lied! She lied, we are so dead." Pope panicked.

"I'll be quick," Frankie reassured, stepping back to follow Kiara, who had already begun moving forward. "I promised." The two girls walked up to the table stand. Kiara reached into her pocket to grab some cash out, "Hey, uh...can I get two Pepsis, please." Kiara asked the man who stood behind the table, notably agreeing.

Frankie stood beside the girl, tapping her foot gently against the ground. The whole moment would of been peaceful if a irritating voice didn't speak out towards the two.

"Hey Kie, Frankie." Rafe spoke, walking between some lines so he could beside the two, "Hey, what's up." He greeted, staring down at the girl's. "How are you?"

"We're fine." Kiara replied. Frankie stared at Rafe blankly, reaching for the two Pepsis cans.

"Good, good. Um...tell your boy that we know what he did." Rafe states his once kind tone fading away.
