Blake was looking up at the sky when she saw Ward Cameron's plane fly above their heads with all the gold "There goes the gold" Pope said kicking a plastic chair "Fuck!" he threw some things at the wall

"Pope!" Kie exclaimed in shock while Blake and Jj just stared at him not completely understanding what was going on

"God damn it!" Pope picked a baseball bat "Shit! Fuck!" he smashed a few things with it "Shit! Damn it!" he kept smashing and throwing things

"I think he broke character" Blake whispered to Jj

"Yeah that's more of a me and you thing, sometimes even John b" JJ agreed with her

"Pope!" Kie yelled desperate for him to stop "Pope!" she exclaimed again as Pope finally sat down "Pope" Kie approached him gently

"Yeah, dude. I was wondering when this was gonna happen" JJ said walking to where Pope and Kie were
"Here you go, chief. A little weed never hurt no one" he handed Pope a joint

"JJ" Kie warned him

"Relax, Kie. That's probably the best thing for him right now, to get his mind somewhere else than the gold" Blake approached the group

"You know he doesn't smoke" Kie told them not wanting the pair to corrupt Pope

"Well, maybe not until today" JJ shrugged

"Pope. Yeah, what is that gonna help?" Kie asked him while Blake took a seat next to Pope

"I lost my scholarship. Walked out in the middle of the interview. It's gone. It's not gonna happen" Pope informed his friends as Jj threw an arm around Blake protectively

"You did that for us?" Kie asked him clearly feeling guilty about the argument they had the night before

"No, not for us. For nothing" He sighed

"I'm here for you, Pope" JJ said standing up and dragging Blake up to "Welcome to my world, okay?" he patted Pope's shoulder

"JJ-

"What, Kie? He's right. It doesn't matter anymore" Jj snapped at Kie

"Look" Blake spoke up "I'll try to get you another interview Pope. I'll call everyone I know in New York or London or wherever necessary, k?" Blake assured him. She knew she had the contacts and the influence necessary to get Pope into any university he wanted and she was going to do exactly that because he lost everything for his friends.

"You don't have to do that" Pope told her smoking Jj's weed

"But I will" Blake smiled at him. She could see then someone appearing "JB?" she gasped

"Dude! Dude, you good?" Jj rushed to his side

"Oh, my God! John B!" Kie exclaimed when she saw how bad John b looked

"Is this yours?" The blonde asked inspecting John b's bloody hands

"What happened?" Blake asked him

"Whose blood is that?" Kie questioned too

"Hey, you okay, man?" JJ asked his best friend again

A police siren was then heard in the street making the pogues hide behind some things.

"Blake, get down!" Jj exclaimed when he saw she wasn't kneeling "Shit!" he dragged her down in front of him to then hide his face in the crook of her nexk

"I think you have a little explaining to do" Blake turned to John b when the siren was long gone
