The good and the bad of Evangeline's relationship with JJ Maybank.
They would never leave each other alone until that one day JJ showed up at Evangeline's door with bloodshot eyes and tear-stained cheeks.

It had been days since the bonfire at the Boneyard. She had thought about JJ a few times but never seen him after that. She didn't pay much attention to it. The Outer Banks was a small island—everybody knew everybody and she knew she'd end up seeing him again.
"Are you ready, Eva?" Sarah asked her best friend. They were getting ready to go to the beach by themselves.
"Yeah, just have to brush my hair... then I'm ready." Sarah nodded in response as Evangeline picked up the hairbrush on Sarah's vanity. Evangeline and Sarah typically went to Sarah's house—Evangeline never liked to have people over much. Mostly because of her parents, though.
Once Evangeline was finished, they got all their things together and walked to the beach. The walk to the beach from Sarah's was not long at all. Only around a two or three minute walk. Whenever they went, they always walked there. Evangeline and Sarah thought that walking was an extremely calming thing, for some reason. Any chance they could, they'd walk somewhere if it was in walking distance.
There were sort of a lot of people at the beach. Families and friends gathered around to have a good time. One of Evangeline's favorite places was the beach. She just love the scenery. The water and the sand—it was all so beautiful to her.
"I kinda wanna lay out today," Evangeline said to Sarah. "Need to tan more."
"Then do it! I'll lay out with you." Sarah offered. Sarah was wearing high-waisted denim shorts and a pink and white floral bikini with white sandals. Evangeline was wearing high-waisted black shorts with a blue and white striped bikini, along with Birkenstock's.
"You sure?" Evangeline questioned. "You can swim if you want to, I'm serious."
"Oh, shut up," Sarah said, beginning to unbutton her shorts. "I'm laying out."
"Fine." Evangeline said, unbuttoning her shirts and sliding them off. When she did, the belly button piercing she had was shown off. She wasn't supposed to get it—her parents said no. When she was fourteen, she was drunk off her ass and made Sarah pierce her bellybutton. It looked good, surprisingly for how messed up the two girls were. When her parents found out, they were definitely furious. But Evangeline didn't care. She liked it—the piercing made her feel confident. She overall liked the way it looked.
"It's so hot," Sarah complained.
"We live in the Outer Banks, Sarah," Evangeline said. "Of course it's gonna be hot."
"Still!" Sarah objected. "It shouldn't be this hot."
"Well, think about it... when we're done tanning we can cool off in the nice, cold ocean water." Evangeline said, going up to Sarah and wrapping her arm around her.
"Okay, you're right. That sounds nice." Evangeline let out a laugh as she unwrapped her arm from Sarah and grabbed her towel. She laid it out and sat down on it, grabbing her sunglasses and putting them on. She laid on her back, putting her arms behind her head and shutting her eyes.
