Alright! You all voted for JJ/John B(at least they're in the lead lol) That means you are getting a portion that is way farther into the chapter than I originally planned to give, therefore will know a lot more, you sly dogs lol. Also way less of a cliff hanger then if I were deciding, believe it or not! π
Let me know what you think and if this is something you'd like to see again. Kinda fun to see what people would like and give you some things early.

Anna was at the ER not even fifteen minutes after they were. Apparently she got concerned when Mike called and asked after Kie. Told her their child wasn't responding to phone calls and when Mike suddenly also went radio silent she became worried enough to go to the Wreck herself.
Can imagine what she found.
Now she sits opposite her husband, running a soothing hand over his back. JJ clocks the gesture. It reminds him of Kie. How her gentle hands always comforted him. What he wouldn't give for them now.
"JJ," John B's voice rings in his head. He thinks he's hallucinating when he looks up and sees his best friend pausing. John B looks at the Carreras before walking over and kneeling beside him.
"What are you doing here?"
John B blinks. "You called me, man," he reminds.
He did? He thinks back, scrunching his face as he recalls a frantic phone call to his brother from the back of Shoupe's truck, not even knowing what he was saying. Rarely has JJ reached out to anyone for help directly, aside from Kie. He was so distressed he didn't know what he was doing.
"Hey," John B says, hands coming to his shoulders. He again looks over at Anna and Mike, who aren't really paying him any attention. They look far too lost in their own world to notice he's even here. "Hey, JJ," he says again, patting his face to get his attention. "What happened?"
JJ's panicked phone call to him was more anxiety inducing than informative. It was hard to even make out anything he was saying over his cries and begs for help. For a minute John B thought JJ was the one that was in trouble. And then he said something about Kie and heading to the hospital. Took John B all of ten seconds to get in the Twinkie and make his way over.
JJ sighs out an anxious exhale. His chest feels like it's being gripped from the inside. He thinks it would hurt less to have his limb amputated. He stares at his shorts before he answers, not able to look at his brother.
"Kie's um," he sniffles. "Kie's hurt real bad."
"What do you mean?" John B demands, looking around, like she's in the room with them to give her own assessment.
"Iβ" JJ doesn't even know how to say it out loud. It was all so sickening. How could this happen? "S-sh-she was closing the Wreck," he pushes out. "Travis attacked her."
John B's eyes widen in shock before JJ reaches for him, wanting--needing someone to comfort him. "Please," he pleads. "Tell me she's going to be okay, I need someone to tell me she's gonna be okay."
John B isn't prepared for the kind of emotional vulnerability coming from his brother. It's childlike and fragile. It's not the tough exterior he usually sees.
Begs the question, what the hell happened to Kie that got him this...scared?
"Course she is, Jay," John B says immediately, embracing him back. "She's gonna be fine."
She had to be. There was no world where Kie wouldn't be okay. Right?

Mike puts a hand on the door, pulling it like JJ just had not even a minute ago. His face is completely stricken with shock, jaw hanging slightly ajar as he takes in the scene, trying to understand why his only daughter, only child, wasn't answering her phone when he left her not even an hour ago.
Fear grips him. JJ sees it dawning on him. The reason why no one was around. Why it was dark and vacant.
"I told Travis they could close early," Mike answers.
He has no idea what to say to that. Keeps his mouth shut on the good chance he pops off something like blaming Mike for this whole ordeal.
But why would he leave her with him? Why didn't he just stay and close with her like he has been? JJ logically knows it's not Mike's fault thatβ
He's faced with reality again. He doesn't know what is going on. They don't actually know anything, they're just wandering around like idiots, trying to figure out why she isn't picking up her phone.
The Wreck is locked up and the lights are off but there is still a chance that she could be there right? What the fuck would the alternative be?
He doesn't want to think about it. Can't let himself go down that road. That isn't happening. This isn't happening. It's a misunderstanding. She's not answering because her phone is dead. God knows he's called enough times for that to be the case. She's safe. Nothing is happening.
Mike pulls out his keys, like he's shocked back to life by the idea that they should probably check inside the establishment if they want to rule it out as a location of her last known whereabouts.
What a fucking morbid thing to think. Makes her sound like she is about to be put up on a plastic bag at a grocery store. Have you seen this missing girl? She'd hate that. Even if she did disappear, the last thing she would want to be is on plastic.
Stop thinking like that, she's fine
Only she isn't fine. Just as Mike is turning the lock and pulling the door open, they freeze. From within the restaurant, JJ can hear someone screaming.
Maybe if I were forced to write like I used to be, then I would actually have a habit to do so & use it as an outlet; but as it stands right now, my outlets are broken & unused & I donβt know how to fix them. :/
Practice, I say, but where is the actual urge to try to make shitty art? I just want it to be done.
Where is the love for the journey & not the obsession of a fictionalized destination. You know Germany exists, and you know you can make it there, so everything in between slips right past you & you forget you are a Sailor, a Traveler, an Adventurer! So go out & explore!
Fall on your face & scratch up both your knees, boy!
Dyinggg to know how the Travis storyline finally gets wrapped up in Together π the way youβve written Jiara in that fic is amazing
Ahhhhhhhhhh πππ I'm so excited to show you!!! Writing it as we speak. Probably the most emotional I've gotten yet, so prepare yourself. I'm being very dramatic this next round π«£
Thank you so much for that wonderful compliment, it means the a lot to hear, you've no idea. I love writing for you. π€
