!!! TW: assault (sexual and abuse) !!!

"I'm so glad they're still doing this," Kiara says happily. "Keep calm, carry on."

"Back to OBX life?" Lio asks.

"Back to OBX life. Ya know?" Kie replies. "Aren't you guys glad I made you come?"

"Ecstatic," Pope answers sarcastically.

"Lio's bed was pretty comfy, I'm bein' honest," JJ clears his throat, making Lio smile.

"We're out of the green zone, man," Pope whispers in JJ's direction.

"Dude, Tranquilo, okay?" JJ responds, setting his bag down.

"Tranquilo?" Lio mumbles to herself, subtly confused.

"We're in the middle of Kooklandia." Pope sets his bag down on the ground next to him, "This is the last place I wanted to be."

"Shut up, Pope."

"We're getting drinks. You guys want anything?" Lio asks, grabbing her money.

"PBR, babygirl," JJ replies sending her a wink.

"Just a Pepsi, please," Pope smiles.

"JJ, I can't get you one here, I'm sixteen."

"Use your fake," JJ shrugs.

"JJ! Shut the fuck up!" Lio whisper-yells. "I'm getting you a Pepsi."

"Thanks, Lio!" Pope hollers.

"Thank you, my sexy ass queen!" JJ shouts as Lio walks away with Kie.

"Hey, uh... can I get two Pepsis? Please?" Kie asks, taking out her money.

Lioana quickly hands the man her money instead.

"Bro," Kie begins.

"JJ's basically my child, and I'm Pope's lil' sister," Lio shrugs.

"Hey Kie," a voice says. "Oh, we got Lio too. Hot damn!" The man says as Lio looks up.

"You've gotta be fucking kidding me," Lio scoffs and crosses her arms.

"Hey, what's up?" Rafe disingenuously asks. "How are you?"

"I was doing great, up until now," Lio replies as Rafe looks her body up and down while licking his lips subtly.

"I'm fine," Kie answers dully.

"Good, good, um... " Rafe looks past Kie, at Lio, "Tell your boy that we know what he did."

Lio's body goes numb and the color in her face falls to a pale white.
