"all i'm saying is that i think i deserve to know where the hell you disappeared to!" kiara teased. "it was no big deal just things over in tannyhill that needed to be sorted" meilani responds. "tannyhill? don't you tell me you met up with rafe again?" meilani scoffs. "no, are you trying to incline that i don't have any feelings towards my boyfriend?" kiara laughs.

meilani wipes down tables just before closing. "lani" kiara calls. the girl turns around to see kiara and cayman standing at the entrance. her face falls. "what do you want?" she says bluntly. her brother walks towards her. she's hesitant and takes a step back.

"mel please, i just want to talk" she can see the pleading in his eyes. kie gives her a nod and the pair walk outside to a table.

meilani stares at her brother blankly, not really interested in anything that'll come out of his mouth.

"where have you been?" the silence is broken. "kiaras" meilani replies bluntly, picking at her nails. she knew in her mind if jj were here he'd have swatted her hands by now telling her to have some sense, she made a mental note to stop. "how is it there?" cayman stalls. "fine." there's an awkward silence yet again. "what do you do there?"

"cut the bullshit cayman, what do you want? i highly doubt you came here to ask if i was having an amazing time at the carreras or not!" meilani slams her hand against the metal table. "dad and i are worried about you! you just took off the other night with no contact!" cayman rambles. "worried?" meilani scoffs, "dad hasn't been too worried about me in the past few months and you left home so that really shows me you care." meilani becomes quickly frustrated with the boy in front of her. she doesn't even know him anymore.

"come home lani, we want to make this right." "over my dead body" meilani says bluntly, getting up from her chair. "meilani luana please!" the brother pleaded. meilani froze in her spot, back turned to cayman. she hadn't been called meilani luana since her mother died, her mother constantly called her that.

the girl felt her eyes prick with tears, she didn't know how to react. instead she didn't look over her shoulder and took off running back inside.

"he did it kie, he called me meilani luana." the girl sobbed into her best friends shoulder. kiara rubbed her back, soothing her. "shh baby it's okay, you're okay" she cooed.

meilani ran towards jj as soon as she set her eyes on him. he saw the girl running at him and his instincts told him to open his arms. she ran into them and he picked her up. he swayed back in forth with her rubbing her hair. "what's wrong baby?" he whispered. "i missed you."

the pair walked along the docks, fingers interlocking. "i want to leave for a while" meilani blurted out. "where do you wanna go and for how long?" jj supported the idea, squeezing her hand tighter. "i think we should just go to off the mainland and stay there for a couple days" she smiled. he stopped and looked her in the eyes. he brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear and cupped her face. jj then placed a soft kiss on her lips, she wouldn't let him go. instead she grabbed his hand and they ran onto the hms pogue.

jj lay meilani down flat on her back. he looked down at her. "stop biting your lip" he chuckled. in response, meilani bit it harder. she pulled him down onto her and flipped him onto his back. she straddled him, taking her shirt off to reveal her bikini top. jj pulled his shirt over his head to reveal his bare chest. she undid her strap and slipped the top down her shoulders. he smirked up at her pulling the girl down on top of him.
