✿ RIPTIDE ✿
🍒💵☀️ ♥ ➵ you won't let go of me ♥

o. KENNEDI CARRERA WAS the definition of an epitome. Her home life seemed perfect up for everyone who was looking from the outside, but if you put it under a microscope, it would be shattered. Her parents found something wrong with her constantly, always ridiculing and picking out small things, praising her twin, Kiara. Kennedi never lived up to their expectations, getting kicked out of Kook Academy, and basically moving out of her house, only coming back every few days. The Carrera household was a constant warzone whenever she stepped foot into the house, shouts echoing across the empty halls, her sister peering over the bannister, hands slamming on counters. Nothing was ever what it needed to be, especially when it came to her.

oo. JJ MAYBANK WAS always to be found far from his house, minus the days he had something to grab that was definitely lying somewhere on the premises. Much like Kennedi, his home life was completely broken, but instead of verbal it was physical. Bruises, cuts, and broken bones littering his body, never letting his father get the best of him, especially when it came to trying to prove his worth. He found solace in other beings, choosing to make a home he found rather than the one he lived in. JJ didn't know what it was to be loved by a parent, Big John was the only thing that came close, but he was gone now, leaving JJ a piece of the person he was before.

ooo. KENNEDI AND JJ were the only ones able to put their pieces back together, always in the silence of a room, hidden in the corner, praying that their ghosts wouldn't catch up with them. The two teens continued to fight, never letting anyone get the best of them, chasing away their fears by letting loose, only to ultimately wind up getting in trouble with some sort of power figure. Kennedi would always stitch and bandage JJ's wounds, pressing kisses to each one, assuring him they would get better and he would get out. JJ would find himself whispering words of encouragements to Kennedi whenever he could, praising the ground she walked on, trying to pick up the shards her parents had created, wishing that he could be enough to make her whole again.

"AND THATS KENNEDI, the wild child. She's Kiara's twin, but despite looking the same the two are polar opposites. She has a shit relationship with her parents, so my dad had basically adopted her, so she's spent most of her time at my place, hiding from her parents. Their loss though, this girl is the one thing that holds us all together. JJ and her are best friends, the two of them attached at the hip. Always running around and causing mischief, but they somehow always end up together at the end of the night. They have a thing for each other, but won't make a move living in denial."
