"Look, I'm callin' it off. All right?" John B said as everyone sat around his backyard.

"Peterkin said, if I stay out of the marsh, she'll help me with DCS." John B added.

"And you believed her?" JJ asked in shock.

"Yes, I believe her, JJ." John B said annoyed.

"An actual cop, John B. You believed a cop." JJ walked closer to the garage that everyone was sitting in.

"Yeah, I don't think we should get too involved with cops." I said, fiddling with the dead skin around my nails.

"We all know that you don't like cops, Zia." Pope said.

I gave him a glare and looked back down.

"All I gotta do is stay out of the marsh for a couple days, and she'll help me out. It doesn't help that your ass was the one shooting a gun." John B said to JJ annoyed.

"You know what I should have done? Just let Topper drown your ass." JJ said in response.

"Hey! Do- Relax, alright? Both of you." I knew that what JJ said wasn't necessary and definitely wasn't true. I could feel an argument coming and didn't want to deal with it.

"Topper was gonna drown me?" John B said, completely ignoring what I just said.

"Sure looked like it."

"Funny." John B scoffed.

"Have you looked in a mirror lately?"

"Tell me some more, come on."

"They always win, don't they man? Kooks versus Pogues. They always, always win!" JJ shouted as he punched some type of ball that was hanging from the roof causing us all to jump.

"Look, its okay." Kie said sympathetically, trying to calm him down.

"No! It's not okay! They don't want you in the Marsh because there's something valuable down there and you know it!" JJ raised his finger and pointed at John B.

"And I understand why you don't want to go." JJ said looking down at Pope.

"You're the Golden Boy. You have way too much to risk." Then he looked at Kie.

"And you... You're already rich as fuck anyway." I laughed and so did Kie.

"And Z."

I looked up at him. He was looking down at me with his beautiful blue eyes.

"You have practically nothing to lose, I'm sorry to say it but you don't."

He was right. I already lost all of my biological family. And the "Aunt" I live with, yeah. She's some stranger who offered to give me sanctuary. Of course, I know her now. She is really sweet and amazing and I love her, but there is no blood-relation. I lied about practically everything. Everything except stupid shit like my favorite color and what not.

And of course I never lied about how much I loved all of them. That was mainly because I never told them how much I loved them, but I definitely loved them a hell of a lot.

"And you and me, man? We got nothing to lose, either!" JJ said loudly to John B.

"And I know it didn't used to be that way for you, but-" JJ began but John B cut him off.

"I don't want to talk about this. I don't want to talk about it." John B pushed past JJ and walked out of the garage.

"John B, listen to me. I have a plan." JJ said loudly, following John B.
