Louis Michael Caswell-Brooks. The new boy on the block. Moving all the way from France to the Outer Banks he tries to fit in all while dealing with the grief caused back at home. Along the way he meets a group of teens who enjoy breaking rules, and...

By the time Louis felt strong enough to get up from his position on the floor he knew it had been well past an hour since he left the house. He also knew that from Henry's stern voice, being late would come with consequences.
Louis could come home and tell the Brooks what happened, yet that would lead to questioning about why the Kooks attacked him and he would have to rat out JJ for using a gun, which would then lead to the pogues mission being exposed and everything would go to shit.
The next best option then, is to lie or atleast avoid the truth.
So Louis stood up slowly, limping from the pain he had and walked back to the road, grabbing his abounded skateboard and heading for the Château to pick Leo up. Each bump he road over from the skateboard caused a pain to his body and his face felt dirty from the dried blood. He looks like a mess, that was a given.
To make matters worse he was trying his hardest to not grieve the loss of his mother, trying to bottle up his emotions and not shed a tear on her birthday and he was failing miserably.
When Louis reached the Château he stared at the scene in front of him.
Leo was standing on a surf board that was on the ground, with John B giving him instructions. JJ was off to the side, smoking a blunt and giving a thumbs up each time Leo looked to him for confirmation that he stood up correctly or had the right stance.
Louis slightly hated himself more when he realizes he was the reason that Leo's fun would be ruined.
Your fault.
Louis slipped the hoodie hood above his head and kept his face down as he approached them. The last thing he wanted was for JJ to see Louis' beat up face and take matters into his own hand.
"Leo. Hey we need to go." Louis says once he approaches the 3 boys, Kie and Pope not being in sight.
Leo looks over at his brother and has a puzzled look cross his face before it turns into an upset frown.
"But.."
"Leo I'm serious. Let's go." Louis interrupts, not letting Leo question him.
Louis wanted to find Leo then leave. He didn't want conversation with the others and he certainly did not want to talk to JJ after those kooks attacked him for JJ's wrong doing.
"Mikey hey." JJ says, throwing the blunt to the floor and stepping on it.
Louis continues to keep his head down and ignores JJ entirely. He didn't care if he hurt the blondes feelings. Louis' feelings were hurt enough to last him a life time.
"Leo. Let's go. Now."
Leo grumbles but gets off of the surf board. Waving to JJ before giving a side hug to John B who ruffles his hair. Leo pulls away from John B's torment and goes to to his brother, giving him an annoyed look.
