Kai
The next weeks were tense. Not just for Cody and me, but for JJ and Ted too. Ted wanted to bring the wedding forward and JJ didn't want to rush it. On our side of the camp, Cai and Kodii were settling in nicely and were adjusted to planes. So we were hanging out at the bar just talking with the kids, well we were trying to turn our kids into geniuses. By trying to get them to say Mama or Dada, or something in baby language. But they were only relatively-newborns. So it would be a while before they started speaking. Cody, however, tried to get Cai to say Dada, but ultimately failed. Cai's definitely gonna be a Momma's boy. I stopped talking when Ted walked in, muttering like a mad man as he sat down at the bar. "Cody. Would ya looking after the kids for a second. I'm gonna see what's up with Ted." Cody looked at Ted and saw that something was up.
"Yeah, sure, I can handle them for a couple minutes. Go see what's up with Grumpy." I giggled at his humour and got up from the booth, taking my drink with me. I warily walked up to the bar and stood next to Ted's slumped figure.
"This seat taken?" I asked Ted. I didn't get an answer so I sat there anyway. I had one of my gut feelings and I guessed something had a) happened or b) was going to happen. Either way. "Ted, what's wrong?"
"Nothing Kaila." I don't know why, he always calls me by my full name. It's weird.
"Cut out the bullshit, Ted. I've known you for 13 years. I know when something's up." I answered back, defiantly. I'm not an idiot so don't treat me like one, mate.
"Kaila, why don't you just stay out of it?" Ted snapped. I went into Kaila-kid mode then.
"You want to be like that, fine. Just don't do anything too stupid will you?" I walked back to Cody, drink in hand." He's pissed alright. I wonder what happened." I pondered. I wanted to do my jokey, imaginary stroke ya beard whilst thinking thing but that was not the time nor the place for it.
"Call JJ and see what happened. Maybe she can shed some light on the subject." I rolled my eyes at his 'Meet the Robinsons' quotation. But I did just that.
"Hey Kai."
"JJ what is going on with Ted? He's pissed and upset and drinking." I wanted to add the dude was drinking the bar out but that wouldn't help.
"Kai, we had an argument he's jealous that I'm hanging with Tommy, he think's and I quote I'm 'screwing him'. " Bollocks.
"What? You wouldn't." That wouldn't happen. I know that one for a fact. But I think I know why JJ's been hanging round with Ty a lot. I know he's been depressed lately but maybe it has something to do with the way that what happened to Ryan was dealt with. But not the way I want to think. Maybe Ty's tether had snapped and he shot Ryan. I wouldn't be complaining and it was revenge and it could be in self defence for all I know. But I want Ty or JJ to tell me. I'm not going to go round making accusations like that.
"I know I wouldn't but try telling him that!" Good point. Ted is a bit stubborn. Well, I say a bit.
"Ok I'll let him stew for a while and then I'll talk to him." I'll leave it till later. He normally calms down at night. I hung up the call and decided to take the kids out shopping. May as well do something to pass the time. We had dinner out so we didn't come back till about quarter past 9. And when we did, we were met with a crying and ringless JJ. "JJ!" She continued running. I had a feeling where she would go. I whipped out my phone and sent a text to Ted.
To: Ted
That whore Williams better be gone by the time I get there or I swear to fucking god I will hurt her.
I was now very pissed off. I rushed up to Ted and JJ's room. To find Ted in boxers and Williams in underwear. JJ had obviously walked in on them getting down and dirty."You, get the fuck out now, you fucking homewreaker!" When she smirked, I grabbed her by the hair, led her out and chucked her into the elevator. "Theodore Marvin DiBiase! How the fuck could you cheat on JJ? With her no less!" I shouted, punching the door. "Fuck!"
"Kai, leave him to drown in sorrow. He's not getting any sympathy. We better find JJ before she gets in trouble." I let Cody lead me way and into our room next door. He bandaged up my hand and we grabbed our luggage and went straight to the airport. "Where would she go?"
"Home. Gainesville in Georgia. That's where AJ is. I'll call him when we get there." We got on the first plane there and by the time we got there it was about 10am. I sat in the parking lot with Cody and the kids, with my phone pressed against my ear, waiting anxiously for AJ to pick up.
"Kai, what's up?"
"AJ, where are you?" I asked, a bit panicy.
"At the gym. Why? Is this about JJ?"
"Yes, this is about JJ. Can you pick us up from the airport and take us to a hotel and then your house? I know JJ's there."
"Yeah sure. I'll be there in 10 minutes max, meet you in the parking lot."
"Thanks AJ, lifesaver." I hung up the call and sat next to Cody, with his arm around my shoulder. I was getting anxious. True to his word, AJ came and picked us up and took us to an hotel where we dropped off our stuff. I couldn't stop thanking him, considering almost 2 years ago he hated my guts. He took us to his house, and I could've sworn I could hear JJ crying. AJ opened the door and I saw his oldest Ajay, pounce on him like a tiger. We stepped inside gingerly, and greeted Ajay who seemed pleased to see us with Cai and Kodii. I left him with Cody knowing full well he could handle him and the kids. I walked into the kitchen following AJ, and I saw Wendy talking to JJ who, like I said, was sobbing her heart out. "JJ?" She turned to face me and I hugged the living daylights out of her. I was half waiting for her to notice the bandage on my hand. She always had a curious eye.
