Kie, Pope and JJ were all sitting on the couch of the chateau

"I wish we could go back to normal" Kie said tucking her legs under her chin wrapping her arms around her legs

"Well I don't know how we do that." JJ said
"I don't think it will ever be like old times again. Not without John B and Sarah" he finished and they all sighed

"I have an idea" Pope spoke and the two others turned to look at him

"We could have a Kegger. Come on guys think about it we need one last party at the chateau before the bank takes this place. It's what John B would want right?" Pope said and they all looked at him in disbelief
"Wow pope I didn't know you had any good ideas how long have you been working on that?" JJ teases and Kiara sat up straighter

"He's right. I just want to get drunk as fuck and forget about all this for one night" Kiara agreed . JJ looked at her quizzically

"What's up with you lately? You've only ever been a responsible drinker and smoker." JJ said confused why she'd been letting it all go for the past week

"My best-friends just died JJ, give it a rest. I'm fine"
Kiara said sternly and stood up
"What are we waiting for? let's go get it"
Both boys got up reluctantly following her

-
The sun had set and the moon was just starting to peak out from behind the trees on the property. The Pogues had strung up Christmas lights and such, and blocked off the door to the house. They'd set up the speaker system and the party was on, most of the teenagers on the island were now in John Bs yard. Kiara thought it was a little ridiculous that even kooks had shown up, but there hadn't been any trouble anyways.

"Leave your gun in the house like I told you to?" Kiara asked as she sat on the porch steps holding a beer hearing JJ walk up. He sat down next to her

"Yes mom"
He mocked and she shoved his shoulder before finishing her cup, she stood up about to get another before JJ grabbed her hand gently stopping her
"Hey don't you think you should slow down?" JJ asked

"So now I need to bring two back since you clearly haven't started drinking yet tonight." Kiara said and JJ sighed letting her go, he didn't want to come off as controlling or a hypocrite. Suddenly he felt a tap on the shoulder looking up to see pope
"Hey bro I just saw topper- and I have a bad feeling that means Rafe is probably here, or worse, Barry" pope said in a worrying tone and JJ sighed
"God dammit. I'm gonna go look you stay close to the house, I left my gun on John Bs bed." JJ advised before he walked away.

JJ had walked several laps around the house, and he was kind of upset that he wasn't having as much of a good time as he usually did at parties. The party seemed to do the opposite of help him feel like things were back to normal. He was about to go back when he spotted Kiara and the kook behind the house.

Kiara leaned back against the house looking up at Rafe who seemed to tower over her and she giggled as she sipped her drink. The last time Kiara and Rafe we're together, he was strangling her. Now they were acting completely different. He had a finger under her red solo cup encouraging to drink more and more of the liquid.

JJ quickly walked up shoving Rafe off
"What the fuck are you doing here?! I should turn in your ass we know what you and your dad did!" JJ barked

"Calm down J-" Kiara slurred teaching for his arm but was clearly too intoxicated
"He was just gonna take me to see John B and Sarah" Kiara continued as Rafe sneered.
JJ turned his head to Kiara, she'd only had two drinks she would not have forgotten that easily, nor been that intoxicated, his eyed dropped to the drink in her hand and it hit him

"What the fuck did you do to her drink?" He demanded to know, putting himself in between Rafe and Kiara.

"Nothing. I think she's probably had a little too much to drink" Rafe lied with a smug look.
Kiara whined behind JJ about how she wanted to go see John B.

"You put something in her drink!"

"That is a very serious accusation" Rafe said trying to act like he was morally above that but JJ wasn't buying it. Kiara yawned behind him.

"Oh yeah?" JJ asked plucking the drink from her hands
"Why don't you have a sip?" He said to Rafe with eyes of stone

"Oh no thanks I don't drink-"
"You're a fucking pussy Rafe" JJ said starting to shove him dropping the drink
"J-" He heard Kie say sleepily and Rafe smirked
"I'd take better watch of her if I were you" he said starting to walk away, JJ couldn't stop him having to catch Kiara as she collapsed.

JJ was fuming of course, he wanted to get back at the older boy, especially for something as serious as this, but he glanced down seeing Kiara sleeping and sighed. She looked pretty peaceful, she didn't even look that relaxed when she slept normally just because of everything that was going on.
JJ quickly slide his other arm under hers legs carrying her bridal style up to the house and pope noticed walking up

"What's-"
"That fucking Kook, Rafe put something in her drink" JJ said angrily as he shifted her weight in his arms, looking down at Kie asleep in his arms
"I'll watch out for her you just enjoy the party- make sure that Rafe and his friends aren't still here. Rafe would have gotten away with it if I hadn't shown up" JJ said trying to chill out as he walked into the house carrying Kiara.

JJ walked towards the back of the house setting her down on John Bs bed, it was safer than leaving her on the pull out couch in the living room where anyone could walk in.

Kiara was half awake, watching JJ. She grabbed her hand
"JJ come here" she cooed opening her arms up like she was asking for a hug. He leaned down with a sigh to hug her, but before he knew what was going on, she'd pulled him on top of her connecting their lips.

JJ couldn't help but kiss back for a moment as her hand cupped his cheek. The girl he was in-love with was right underneath him kissing him finally, but he broke the kiss after a moment
"Kie what are you-"
"Shhh"
"No Kiara! You're drunk and drugged" JJ said pulling away sitting up on the bed
"Y-you need to get some sleep" JJ said in a disappointed voice.

He wished that the kiss had been real, not just some drugged mistake. It took everything in him to stop, if he'd given he what she wanted, he would have been taking advantage of her, and he'd be no better than Rafe

"You just- need to get some rest.." JJ trailed off calming down looking down at the girl. She nodded and closed her eyes with a yawn, within a couple minutes she'd fallen asleep.

JJ looked down at her, she looked alot more peaceful than he'd seen her in a long time. 

JJ stayed awake sitting up next to her on the bed for the full night, he didn't do anything but stare at the door waiting incase someone came in, and sat soaking in his feelings for Kiara, and it was all he could think about, he was miserable.
