8teen - Khalid

Blue sky.

_________Jules' POV:

I woke up in Rafe's bed, his arm wrapped loosely around my waist. I became suddenly aware of how much I needed a piss. God how long have I been holding this? I sort of wriggled out of his grasp until I made it to the end of the bed, I then got up and sprinted to the bathroom. I quickly relieved myself before freshening up. I feel so stale, I don't know if that makes sense, but I feel like my hair is crunchy and my mouth dry. Probably all that weed. I decided a shower is the best thing for me right now. I entered the shower and flicked the faucet on, sighing as the hot water hit my skin. Today I'm supposed to be meeting with a potential buyer. The house is too big for just JJ and I, I've never really liked big houses, so I plan on downsizing and putting a large chunk of the money aside for JJ, wether he wants to go to college or travel the world, or even just blow it all on weed, it's his choice. The last two days have been amazing. My family is together again. I do slightly regret the night before the pogues returned, I wish I hadn't have even thought of suicide. My brother would never leave me.

After my shower I was surprised to see Rafe still asleep. God he looks so peaceful while sleeping. I love him, I want to be with him all the time, I don't care if it's clingy of annoying. I don't think I could ever get sick of him. He is perfect.

After admiring Rafe for a little while longer, I remembered I do have to get ready. I pulled on a white shirt with blue jeans and some strappy heeled sandals. I straightened my hair and put some makeup on. I have to look serious, I suppose. After sliding on my last ring, I grabbed a white prada bag and began my exit. I carefully closed the door behind me, I don't want Rafe waking up. He deserves his sleep.

I headed towards the kitchen and saw JJ, who looked rather stressed."What's wrong?" I asked."Oh nothing. Just some issues with Kiara, she's not answering her phone and her parents aren't answering either." He nodded. "Oh. I'm sure she's okay, she's smart." I smiled. "Yeah, true." He nodded."I'm meeting a potential buyer of the house today. I'll keep you updated. Also, if Rafe asks, tell him I'm meeting with Rose's friend." I nodded. "Okay." JJ nodded. I looked at him again, he seems worried. Extremely worried. "Oh fine, come on. We'll go check in on her." I sighed while dragging his hand and pulling him outside with me.

The sky was clear, aside from the occasional cloud. I love being here. I unlocked the car and watched as JJ hopped in, for some reason I have a really bad feeling in my stomach, almost like something bad is bound to happen. I know there's nothing wrong, I know everyone is safe but that feeling won't leave. I hopped in beside him and we made our way over to Kiaras house.

Her driveway was empty, strange. I hopped out, JJ beside me, as we made our way towards the house. I knocked carefully but there was no answer."Maybe she's not home?" I asked."Where else would she be?" He asked ."I mean, she's got other friends. Call the rest of your friends and see if she's there if it's troubling you so much." I shrugged. To my surprise he did just that. He called John b, Sarah (which made no sense considering we stayed in the same house), some other people I don't know and finally Pope. Thankfully she's with him, and safe. "You want me to drop you over there?" I asked while climbing back into the car."If you don't mind." He smiled awkwardly. "When we get our new place, Kiara can stay with us, I mean I don't see why not." I shrugged. We drove off towards the Haywards. I was running slightly behind schedule but whatever.

"Thank you Jules I'll see you back at Sarah's." JJ called out before disappearing inside the Haywards home. Great. I wanted to grab a coffee before, but I suppose no coffee won't hurt. I sped off towards my house since I'm running kind of late.. I arrived a few minutes later to see two cars out front. They're definitely going to think I'm unprofessional. I hopped out and greeted two women. "Hi, I'm Lisa Crawley, it's lovely to meet you." A short haired woman spoke. "I'm Jules, I'm so sorry for being late. It's so lovely to meet you." I smiled while shaking the two womens hands. "Im Anastasia Granger, you have a beautiful home." A tall blonde woman spoke. "Oh thank you." I smiled.

I have a basic tour and explained the historical significance of the house to the two ladies. Of course I kept out the fact my mother killed herself in the lounge area, I mean I don't see how that would be important. Anastasia seemed happy with the house, well thrilled honestly. She was extremely interested in the attic, which is weird because it's too warm and smells a bit. Lisa, the real estate agent told me that she was extremely interested, so I'm guessing she'll buy it. Not that I really care, this house hasn't felt like home, not once. We bid our goodbyes before I decided to head back to the Cameron's.

I stepped through the door and saw Rafe getting shouted at by John b and Sarah. "Hello?" I said in more of a question, rather than a statement. "He cheated on you??" Sarah said while raising her eyebrows in disbelief. "Oh. Yeah, he did." I said awkwardly. "Rafe, you're literally punching, I'd be so quiet, I wouldn't even dare look in another girls direction for the rest of your life." Sarah scolded her brother. "Jules and I worked this out already, I just thought you should know." He explained awkwardly. "I'm going to stay quiet." John b nodded while leaning back. "I cannot believe you even thought, to cheat. That's so disgusting I can't even look at you right now." She scoffed. "I was beyond wasted!" Rafe protested."If I hear that excuse one more fucking time." Sarah yelled while picking up her water bottle and throwing it at him. I couldn't help but laugh, she's so funny. "I don't-" John b started before Sarah turned to him. "And you. I don't want to hear another word from you." She warned before getting up and walking towards me. "God, what is wrong with them?" She sighed."They're extremely stupid." I nodded."Literally." Sarah sighed.Sarah and I talked shit about her brother for awhile before we decided we were hungry and should order food.

"Fuck faces, what do you want from TacoBell?" Sarah called out. "Uh whatever you're having." John b answered. "Same." Rafe replied. "I think we should order something foul, and pretend we're eating it as well." Sarah nodded. "Okay that's kind of smart." I laughed.

We got our food and had a little concert in Sarah's Jeep, blasting Lana Del Rey and feeling bad for ourselves. Why? Because we can. While driving home I felt the same bad feeling in my stomach, this time stronger. I'm not sure what's causing that but I'm safe. My family is safe, we're all okay.

Once at home, we threw the food at dipshit one and two, before kicking them off the couch and taking over.We started watching the Harry Potter films just because we know Rafe can't stand them. "You wanna watch something else? Maybe anything else?" Rafe asked. "Nope." Sarah shook here head while increasing the volume. "I'm sorry but this shit is so unbelievable. A baby would not be able to kill some powerful wizard." Rafe scoffed while taking a bite from his taco. "Sorry what?" Sarah said in a mocking tone while increasing the volume. "If you're mad because you didn't get a letter, just say so." Sarah shrugged."Oh for fuck sake." Rafe sighed while taking a defeated bite from his taco. "Oh funny story, Rafe was stupid when we were younger, funny how somethings never change" she paused while throwing a glance at Rafe."And one day I decided to prank him by sending him a Hogwarts letter. Rose and I spent hours perfecting it. At the time Rafe was obsessed with Harry Potter so it was perfect, he believed it for so long. He even packed his bags to go to Hogwarts but the night before he was meant to go, I told him it wasn't real. He cried for three hours." Sarah smiled evilly. "I was ten." Rafe mumbled. "It was fucking hilarious. He didn't speak to me for a month." Sarah laughed. "And people call me the troubled child.. she literally ruined my childhood dreams." He sighed. "I felt the same way about Narnia." John b added. I couldn't help but laugh, I never expected that. From either of them.

"Surely you were obsessed with a movie." I spoke while turning to Sarah. "Clueless, I wanted her closet so bad. I also just wanted to be her." Sarah shrugged. "Hm mine was Finding Nemo." I shrugged. "See? Ours are normal, whereas Narnia and Harry Potter fanboy, well. Not so normal." Sarah gave them a flat smile. I love Sarah, I think she's easily one of the funniest people I've ever met. She's so mean to her brother I love it.

After the movie had finished, Sarah and I decided to go for a walk to talk more shit about the boys. On the walk I decided maybe I should tell her about the feeling in my stomach. "Sarah can I tell you something?" I asked while awkwardly playing with my rings. "Of course. If he cheated on you more than once I'm going back to the house to cut his dick off." He laughed."No, no it's not that." I shrugged. "Well please do tell because now I'm interested." She smiled. "I've had this unshakable feeling since yesterday, it's like that feeling you get when something bad is about to happen. I don't know why it's there or why it won't leave, but I can't figure out what's causing it." I sighed."Are you stressed about anything?" She asked, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "No it's not like stress it's like dread I think I don't really know." I shrugged."Im not sure what could cause it, I mean we're all safe, we're all okay, nothing's going to happen." Sarah smiled while pulling me into a hug. "You're right, I just can't seem to shake it." I shrugged while a smile grew on my lips. "Okay, we'll try and help you get more comfortable. I don't want you to be torn up over it." She smiled.

We walked around the beautiful roads of figure eight until the sun began to set. We made our way back to the Cameron's house without any incident, honestly I'm just glad to be back with Rafe. The feeling seems to lighten up whenever I'm with him.

Here's a longer chapter since the last chapter was kinda a fill one... I'm sorry! But I love you all so much and what in the Fucking world. How does this story have 5k reads?? I love you all so much. Thank you. Also, I have one last little dramatic scene coming before the story will begin it's end. I hope everyone is safe and enjoying the start of Summer.
