me and kie have each others backs

3rd person pov 

 via got off the boat with kiara, pope, jj and cleo. pope turned to via and he sighed 

"you're crazy pope, your parents are not going to appreciate me shacking up" cleo said and they all laughed. 

"no of course they will. are you kidding? heyward might put you to work but we could always use the help"pope said and via nudged him as she shook her head and laughed 

"I don't know man. are you sure?" she asked 

"yeah, look he might squawk a little bit but let me talk to him. we'll figure it out " pope exclaimed 

"this is us, home sweet home" kiara said as she opened the gate and they all walked in 

"damn via, you live here? this is like the white house man" cleo said and she laughed as she shook her head 

"you're going to be okay?" he asked the sisters who made eye contact and sighed. via held her sisters hand

"yeah me and kie have each others backs" she stated and kiara smiled and nodded. 

"tell sarah I love her" via exclaimed and they nodded. via held kiaras hand as they both nodded. they walked to the door and tried to open it but it wouldn't so via knocked. anna opened the door as she took in the sight of her daughters 

"hi mom" via said and she brought them into a hug 

"we're really sorry" kiara said and anna held kiaras face as she looked her over 

"oh my god, are you okay?" she asked 

"we're okay" via said 

"mike" anna called and mike ran in to the girls as he hugged via and she cried to him. kiara cried to anna

"you two go clean up, we can talk later" mike told the girls and they both nodded. via walked to her room as kiara walked to hers. via went to her bathroom and she looked herself over. she had never seen herself look so different and she was shocked by it 

"god I need to change" she said and she walked into the shower as she turned the water on. after that it was a long process of her trying to find the old her and even then, she stayed in the shower letting herself process everything. 

via had lost everything in the span of 1-3 months and now that she got It back, she didn't want to lose it but she knew that losing things was apart of life and you couldn't do anything about it. which via hated. why couldn't she do anything about it? why couldn't she change everything? why did everything have to hurt all the time? 

why did she hurt all the time? why did the world have something out for via carrera and when would she be able to finally breathe again. when would via be able to feel happy and safe and calm. when would be via be via and not this shadow of a girl she doesn't know. via didn't know herself anymore. 

after spending so much time running for her life and being on a remote island. she didn't know who she was and that was another thing she hated. she sighed as she washed her hair again. the dirt and grime kept coming. when she got out, she was able to moisturize her hair and her body. the girl was no longer a shadow of herself and she was someone. 

she got dressed and then kiara knocked on her door 

"john b found big john, look" she said and she handed her phone to via. via read over the email and smiled 

"holy shit" via said and kiara nodded. 

"yeah so I'm going to go to jjs and talk to him. also try to find cat and tell her we're home" she said and then there was a knock on the window. via turned to it and saw cat standing there

"CAT" she yelled and she ran over as she opened the door. cat fell through into vias arms as she hugged her and smiled 

"god it has not been the same without you v" she said as she looked via over 

"and I can say the same for you cat" she said and then cat looked up to see kiara. she ran over to her and hugged her as kiara hugged the girl and they both smiled 

"alright well I'm going to head out, cat do you want to come with?" kiara asked her 

"v, you'll be alright if I go?" she asked 

"go, go have fun. i need to stay here and fix my room anyway. its all over the place" she said and both the girls nodded as they walked out of vias room. via looked around as she saw her phone resting on her side table. it was unplugged and she plugged it back in. 

when it came on, there was message after message but she didn't care. she couldn't care because there was only one thing that she cared about and that was her family. her phone rang and she picked it up to see sarahs contact 

"hey whats up?" she asked 

"meet me at the dock , I need to tell you something" was all sarah said. via ended the call and she climbed out of her window as she walked to the dock. there was sarah with kiara. 

"hey" via called and sarah turned to her 

"rafes back" sarah exclaimed 

"what?" via asked 

"so I went back to get clothes and a phone and rafe is back" sarah said and via made eye contact with her sister  

"great" via exclaimed 

"yeah, I saw him at the house. i don't think he saw me but  I think the cross is coming back to Wilmington , tomorrow night" sarah stated 

"what?" kiara and via said together 

"yeah" 

"does pope know?" 

"no, I was going to tell him at the chateau" 

"well he cant, he's on lockdown" kiara said 

"okay, then ill hit up pope and then maybe you go to the chateau and tell john b. via you tell jj" sarah said 

"yeah alright" via said and they went to the chateau. via went to jj as kiara went to find  john b 

"hey j" via called to him and he turned to her 

"john b not here?" he asked 

"kie just went to find him but we have to talk" she told the boy  

"whats up v?" he asked her 

"rafe is back, sarah went back home and he was there but she also overheard him saying that the cross is coming over to Wilmington tomorrow night" via told him 

"he must be trying to sell it" jj stated 

"obviously and look sarah went to tell pope and whatever he decides, we follow. its his cross and family line, john b and big john went and got the twinkie. pope is on lockdown" via told him and jj nodded 

"wait v, we know where the cross is gonna be. that means its still on the field, okay alright. so we can come in and swoop. alright we're still in this v, we just gotta get everybody together and then we'll come up with a plan" jj said and she nodded 

"whatever you say maybank" she exclaimed and he smiled at her as she smiled back. the pair of friends were finally on the same side again. 

they just didn't know what the future would hold
