hurricane agatha

Last night, my dad called me. Telling me he had to go on a fishing trip, again.

We had a small argument about it but in the end, he went anyways.

I fell asleep at John B's last night. I tried to sleep in the guest room with Jj, that didn't work out. He had some blonde touron with him. Disgusting.

John B just threw a pillow at my head when I asked.

I didn't even try to ask Kiara. She sleeps like a maniac and I would've ended up on the floor anyways.

The only spot left was with Pope. He took the couch on the porch and was still up when I asked.

"Hey, can I sleep with you tonight? Everyone else has taken their territory around the house."

"Uh, sure." Pope says nervously.

"Great." I smile.

Pope was laying on the couch already so I just layed infront of him. He wrapped his arm around my waist, making sure I didn't fall off.

The next morning

"G, your phone." Pope groans early the next morning.

Dad

Dad

Dad

Dad

Alessia

Dad

Alessia

I place my phone on the small table near the couch and groan.

"You good?" Pope asks, half awake.

"I'm fine. My dad is just an ass sometimes."

"Mhm."

"I'm going to see if Humpty Dumpty has any sort of food here. Want anything?" I ask Pope, tracing my fingers through his hair.

"Whatever is fine."

I stand up and walk over to the kitchen. I wave a small good morning to kie as I walk past her, half asleep on the pullout.

As I walk towards the kitchen I see John B tap his beer on a picture of his uncle T. He's supposed to be John B's legal guardian but I honestly don't even know where he is.

"Seriously? Beer? It's 9am."

"Sorry?"

"Bruh you're going to be an addict before you're 25." I tell him.

"Sounds good." John B laughs.

I go through John B's cupboards and all I found was some moldy bread and rotten eggs.

"Great." I scoff.

I continue to search the house. Hoping to find some sort of long lasting food. Maybe a can of peaches or something.

"Mother Fucker!" I shout.

"Shut the hell up!" I hear Jj yell from the guest room.

"Bro you're the one having loud ass sex! You shut the hell up or kick the blonde out!" I yell back. "All I could hear last night is your loud moaning dude."

"You're just complaining because you haven't gotten laid in over 3 months!" Jj yells at me, walking into the kitchen. He was stumbling over himself, trying to put his pants on.

"Dude that's a lie and you know it!"

"When is the last time you got laid?" Jj laughs.

"Last week." I smile.

"Wait, really? With who?"

"This brown haired touron." I smile slightly.

"Guy?"

"Girl."

"Thats my girl!" Jj laughs, doing the pogue handshake with me.

"Seriously, kick her out."

"Fine."

I continue looking for any source of food. No dice. John B doesn't even have running water!

"John B! Do you have anything edible in this damn house?" I shout

I didn't get a response. All I heard was Kiara groaning from the couch. "John B?" I yell again.

I start looking around the chaeteu when I see him outside on the hammock.

I can only imagine what he's thinking about. Probably his dad.

John B's dad went missing about 9 months ago. After 3 months passed Big John was offically presumed dead. John B never gave up though. He still thinks he's out there.

I felt bad for the boy. I can't even imagine what it would be like to lose my dad. I mean yeah, I hate him at this point. But, I honestly don't know where I would be without him.

I let him stay out there. Normally, I would go after him. Making sure he's okay, today I assumed he would be fine without me.

"Hurricane Agatha continues to head towards Kildare county." That message caught my attention.

Jj, Pope, and I were at my house. We were still rummaging around looking for food. "Ha! Jello!" Jj shouts excitedly.

"Guys?" I whispered.

"What?" Pope shouts from behind me.

"The tv."

"Shit." The two boys say at the same time.
