all the stars [jj maybank x oc]

one

every girl has a boy they'll never forget and a summer where it all began...

The sun was beginning its leisurely descent towards the edge of the horizon. The once blue sky faded into a purple hue and the stars peeked out from behind clouds floating through the sky. Kildare Island seemed at peace, at least for now.

Stella watched her brother dangle precariously from the rooftop of an unfinished mansion in Figure 8 and shook her head. Taking a swig from the shitty beer JJ bought from Guffy's earlier, Stella leaned her head on Pope's arm and sighed, reveling in the last drops of golden sunshine before dusk set in. A cool breeze swayed the palm trees around the construction site, creating an almost hypnotizing rustling sound. It was heavenly until John B ruined it.

"That's, what, a three-story fall to the deck? I give you about a one-in-three chance of survival!" shouted Pope from beside her, moving his arm from under Stella's head to grab a screwdriver beside them. Pope was Stella's absolute best friend. She loved how smart and dedicated he was, despite how often John B and JJ teased him for it. Stella always felt comfortable around Pope and knew she could talk about anything with him without being judged. He was the Pogues' moral compass, their spirit guide who was the voice of reason while JJ and John B were off doing reckless shit. Also because he was a Virgo. 

"Hey..." she whined, grabbing Pope's arm and placing it behind her head again. "I need a pillow. But seriously JB, get down from there before Kie and I whoop your ass into tomorrow."
