Chapter Two 

what about me and kie?

3rd person pov 

the group of them stood next to each at the chateau as they all looked at each other in confusion. They had the compass but why? it was weird and they knew it was weird. John b left the house the next morning and he went back to sarahs to drop off the scuba gear that they had poached. Lydia filled them up for him to make sure that they didn't get caught for taking them and not filling them. 

lydia woke up the next morning and she got dressed as she walked to work. She walked in and unlocked the door with a smile and a sigh as she held the doors open and started everything up. Any pictures that had been developed were now put into bags for people to take for themselves. She sat on the edge of the counter as she sent out the messages that told people that their photos were ready for them to pick up. 

"lydia monroe, how are you?" topper asked as he walked in with sarah following after him and she tilted her head. She sighed as she smiled at sarah 

"you guys here for your photos?" she asked them and sarah nodded as she grabbed the bag of their photos and she handed it to them. Topper paid them and she watched them leave the shop. she sighed and jumped back up onto the counter as she waited for anyone else to come and get their photos. 

She didn't know about anything that was happening at the chateau, she didn't know about the plans that were happening and nor did she know about what they were discovering with the compass. She laid back on the counter and stared at the ceiling as she read her book. This is what she did everyday, she would sit there and wait. The photos that had been developed were ready and so she would wait for people to come in. 

she laid there on the counter until about two in the afternoon when she had to start closing. The group of her best friends walked in and lydia turned to kiara who had tears in her eyes and even though she didn't know what had happened, she walked over and hugged the girl immediately. Kiara hugged lydia back and lydia looked at the others as jj paced around the shop and she made eye contact with john b 

"what the hell happened?" she asked with conviction in her voice and john b took off his hat as he played with his hair and shook his head. she ran her hand down kies back and held her as kiara let a few tears flow and she nodded as she held her closely 

"those guys that shot at us, they came to john bs house, tried to fucking kill us lyd, i mean it was bad, they had guns and everything, broke into the house, yelled john bs name, we had to sneak out of the window in big johns office and head in the fucking chicken coop. JJ had to kill mr.little just to make sure that we didn't get caught" Pope stated and she looked at them as kie pulled away from the girl and lydia turned to her 

"are you okay?" she asked kie specifically and kiara nodded as she held lydias hand and looked at the others. JJ and John b shared a look between each other because as far as they knew, lydia and kiara were just friends but it was looking like more. JJ felt his chest tighten and his stomach tingle, he stared at them and didn't know why he felt the way he did. 

he didn't like lydia like that, he knew he didn't. he liked kiara like that, he told lydia that after they had kissed because he felt bad and didn't want to lead her on. Lydia knew he liked kiara, he knew he liked kiara and yet he was more hurt from seeing lydia holding kies hand, then seeing kie holding lydias hand. 

"you killed mr.little?" lydia asked jj and he tilted his head at the girl and sighed as he ran his hands through his hair and nodded with a sigh 

"if they heard him, they would've killed us. it was us or him, lyd" he told her and she nodded her head in understanding before she looked at john b in confusion 

"so whats the plan? i mean you're obviously here for a reason" she exclaimed 

"well we can't do any of this without you lyd, youre a pogie. you're stuck with us" he told her and ruffled her hair as she shoved him away and smiled with a laugh 

"alright, im closing up and then we can go on this fucking goose chase that we're going on, capiche?" she asked and they all nodded in understanding as they watched the girl get to work. Any and all photos that had been ready were picked up and any new photos had been developed and were going to sit out and dry in the dark room. She turned off the lights, locked up the registers, locked any doors and windows. She made sure that everything was in order and she turned to them with a smile 

"lets go fucking do this thing" she said and they all smiled as they walked out of the photo store. She turned and locked the front door before she ran to the twinkie with the others and they left to where john b was bringing them. She sat in the back with the others as she rested against kiara and listened to john b talk to them about it

"my dads trying to give me a message. Look, I don't need a therapy session, im not tripping out. Look, my dad is missing, missing. You don't know what its like to have the person closest to you vanish and then have no idea what happened. just wake up every morning wondering" he told them and lydia nodded as she ran her hand over his shoulder and they got to the lighthouse. 

"right, you're gonna post up and look out for bogeys, okay?" john b told jj and lydia looked at them 

"wait, why me?" jj asked 

"because you're not coming" pope told jj 

"why?" 

"look, jj there are independent and dependent variables. And you're an independent variable, we don't know what youre gonna do" pop stated and john b interrupted as jj started to fight pope on it 

"listen to me for a second. Pope, Lyd, you stay and look out with jj. if we get split up, we meet back at jjs house" john b said and kie walked off with john b but not before she kissed lydias cheek and then she walked off. Lydia smiled as she walked over to the open door of the twinkie and she sat down with her book 

"so you and kie?" jj asked her all of a sudden and she lifted her head making eye contact with him

"what about me and kie?" lydia asked and jj stared at her 

"i mean clearly you two have got something going on, unless im like totally seeing things and need to get my eyes checked" he stated and she laughed and shook her head 

"i don't know what it is j, i don't even know if shes into girls like that" she stated and jj sighed 

"are you into girls like that?" he asked her and she thought for a second, she had never really felt the need to label herself because it didn't matter to her who or what she liked. She liked people, it didn't matter if they were boys or girls, she just liked people and she didn't know how to explain that to jj without it coming out strange 

"i am but im also into guys like that. I don't know how to call it j" she explained and he nodded before they heard the sound of sirens and she sat up. she ran over to the drivers seat and she got in as jj and pope got in the back, she reversed it and pulled up to the stairs watching as john b and kie got in the twinkie. she put it into drive and she high-tailed it out of there. 

"you guys alright?" lydia asked as she sped away from the lighthouse. 

"yeah we're alright" john b said and they drove back to the chateau as they got out. They all separated and went their ways. Alot had happened and they all needed time to process what was going on in their lives, lydia went home and she laid on her bed as she slept like a baby that night. 

The next day, she would go to work and so would john b. Kiara went to the wreck and pope went to heywards shop. JJ ended up following lydia to work and he stayed with her the whole day. She watched him but she didn't say much to him and she did all the work that she needed to. She closed the shop up and they headed to heywards where they stood in the back waiting for pope. Lydia rested against the wall with her eyes closed and she listened to jj smoke but she didn't say or do anything about it. That was when john b pulled up in the twinkie and the three of them got in where they headed to the wreck and kiara got in with them. They soon headed to the cemetary 

"you mind if i just relax on this one? its been a long day and a lot of weird stuffs gone down. im just gonna lay low" jj said and lydia sighed as she listened to jj. John b got with them to the cemetary and they all got out as they walked in and stopped at one of the graves. 

"see, my great-great-grandmother. olivia redfield. that was her maiden name. Help me with the door" john b said and they started to push the door open but a cottonmouth snake came out and jj started to bark at it 

"jesus jj, stop fucking barking at the snakes" lydia said and pope told them that they wouldn't be able to open it. Lydia and Kiara looked at each other and spoke up saying that they could get in together if anything happened to the other, so they would have each other. JJ boosted kiara and lydia into the grave and they crawled in together. 

"okay, flashlight?" kiara and lydia called to them as they looked around the grave together in confusion. Lydia held her flashlight as kiara held hers and they stopped at a letter and they stared at it 

"oh my god" they said together 

what the hell had her and kiara found? 

-ABBYS NOTES-
