Pope's cousin ( a Rafe x OC x JJ)

Pool

It's a bit odd really, I've been out on Kildare island for almost a week now and I don't miss the city, I thought I would , atleast a little bit but I don't.  I only ever visited this place , but to actually live here was a completely different experience. The island was a lot dirtier then I remember then again I did show up just after a hurricane . Speaking of hurricanes it's summer so Agatha won't be last , that I'm sure of.

It felt good to be with pope, I'd always wanted a sibling growing up but I was the only child, I would've killed for an older brother or a little sister. It felt nice being around family , that wasn't just my aunt even if In exchange I was worked like a mule by uncle Hey. I had a few days left till probation was over.

Oddly enough I was sort of looking forward to hanging out with that Rafe kid. It was sort of weird how instantaneously we clicked , our beginning was pretty unorthodox. But oddly enough I felt comfortable around him . I mean we did spend our first night together exchanging trauma, friendships have been built on less. The day I got high and ended up crashing at his place was the first day in a long time that I had felt alive, free almost, this whole week meet popes friends and being around him , this week. Had been the best I'd had in a long time, even if uncle hey was working me like a servant and I had been shot at by square groupers.

Things felt right here , truth be told New York didn't feel like home anymore, it felt more like a hell now then anything else. I started at Kildare highschool in the fall,  I wondered what that would be like , I heard they had surf breaks, I couldn't surf , I couldn't swim but I was looking forward to learn. This place wasn't what I was use to and the people here , there ways , customs and lingo was different but that didn't mean that I couldn't like it here.

Infact  a part of me already dose, I'm done getting high all the time trying to escape everything that's happened, I want to live and not just exist , I use to not even be able to get through the day if I wasn't high. I want those days to be behind me , I don't want to disappoint my parents anymore then I already have.

" uncle hey I'm done" .I said I had just finished cleaning out the septic , cleaning the tanks ., installing the filtration system and cleaning out fish. All before 12 which it almost was. I smelled like dead fish floating in a radioactive ravine . 

" hmmm ... I was going to have have you make a few deliveries for me but I figured you've worked hard enough and learned your lesson... so I'm letting if you off punishment early". My eyes widened

" I have ". I said  enthusiastically if I had to clean one more thing , I'd  die right here right now.

" but only on one condition, there are rules here , this is not New York , so don't think your gonna be acting how you did with my sister, absolutely no and i mean no getting high, if I even suspect that your under the influence, I'm going to start testing you every week, your curfew is 9 o'clock , if your with Pope and his friends  and you happen to sleep over at John B's cool but if not I want your butt here 9 o'clock not at nine o'clock you start making your way home , nine o'clock your in the house, you understand?" He asked

" yes uncle hey I understand ". I responded I felt like a freed slave. Goodbye fish guts , hello Rafe Cameron and his pool.

"Alright now be good go have fun , but not too much ". He said I would've hugged him had I not smelled like the inside of a whales ass.

Pope, had already gone off with John b and the others, I figured I could just hang with them tomorrow. I was planning to sneak out and see Rafe anyways but now I didn't have to possibly get in trouble to do it . I walked to my room and went to go take a shower. I picked out an outfit , a black cropped Nike sweatshirt with black biker jeans some matching white socks and slides, I made sure to bring my towel along with me. After the picking was over I went to go hit the shower it was 12:30 so I had some time till 2.
