In outer banks, everyone was sad. As a very tragic death has recently happened. A lot changed in the last month or so. Pope and Kie took their relationship to another level, Sarah and John B were the same, except a bit sad at the loss of their friend. Meanwhile JJ, the blonde boy was out trying to drink himself to death, getting into easy fights at keg parties, stealing beers from stores. The gangs starting to think he hasn't been drunk for more than three hours in the last month total. You may think JJ's taking her death worse, you haven't seen Rafe yet. Rafe was in his hot dark musty room all the time, only coming out at night to get snacks and more beer or some of his dad's expensive alcohol, taking it back into his room, drinking the whole bottle in a day, than going back out to get more. He looked like he's been asleep for days but in reality, he's only slept for a total of 72 hours in the past month. Up to an hour to three a day. He had his door locked, no one being able to get in. He hasn't seen light or another human in a whole month. Rose started to worry if he was even alive, but when she saw the foods missing and beer missing, it answered her question. While everyone wept in outer banks, Ruby, she was living the life. That's right, I'm not dead bitches. Can't get rid of me that easy. I wasn't exactly on the run, but I was on the run at the same time. I had been found by a large ship with a family of nice black folks in the sea, saving me. I was now in the Bahamas, making a living. Nothing to worry about, no one bothering me. No fights, not shooting, no arguments, no deaths. Except my own of course. The past couple days I debated on texting the gang and telling them if I was alive or not. And today, when I pick pocketed an old woman's phone, I sent JJ Maybank, a text. A picture of me, actually.
JJ- what kind of sick joke is this?
Ruby- hello to you too, Maybank.
JJ- who is this?
Ruby- little pickle at your service
JJ- holy fuck, that's no fucking way your alive.
Ruby- like John B said one to many times before, can't get rid of me that easily 😉
JJ- fuck Ruby, you scared the shit out of all of us, where are you?
Ruby- the Bahamas.
JJ- with the gold? Your with the gold?
Ruby- yep, ight I better return this old ladies phone, talk to you in the future Blondie, peace ✌️.
I smiled to myself slipping the phone back. I walked through the streets of a beautiful town I thought I'd never live to see. My heart stopped when I saw an all to familiar face just a feet ahead of me, standing next to his father. Wow, he looked like shit. I had stopped in my tracks, staring at the shitty looking boy ahead of me. He must've felt the stare on him as he looked ahead of himself, looking straight at me, locking eyes with me. His face dropped, a small smile threatened to break at his lips. He started to hit his dad, when he finally got the older man's attention he pointed at me. Wards face dropped at the sight of me. "Ruby! Your ok!"Ward yelled walking towards me "not today bitch."I whispered walking across the street in a hurry, Ward still following me. I shoved past people I looked behind me seeing he was a lot closer, I started to run him now running. I jumped up onto a chair ran over the table and jumped back down I looked back seeing him reaching out to me, I jumped up grabbing onto a street pole lifting my lower self up, Ward running right underneath me. I jumped down making a run for it, eventually loosing him. I bent over resting my hands on both knees breathing out laughing. "Move along."I told the people who stared at me like I was crazy.
"Too easy Ward."I whispered cracking the safe open in his beach house, I smiled at the view in front of me. Stacks and stacks of gold. "You always were one for trespassing."I spun around seeing Rafe, still looking like shit. "Not trespassing if I was told I can come here anytime I want."I squinted my eyes "yeah, that was before, before all hell broke loose and you broke up with me."he crossed his arms taking a step closer to me "I only broke up with you because you stabbed my dad in my own kitchen!"I yelled "you what?!"Ward yelled coming up to us "shit."I whispered "don't listen to her, dad, I didn't kill him."he stuttered "then why has he been missing?"Ward yelled, I took this as my cue to run. I booked it past Rafe running past the pistol I took notice of when I first came in here, I shoved the gun in my pocket covering it with my shirt as I ran outside and onto the main roads. As I ran from the two Cameron men chasing me, I ran down alleys, crossed roads, knocked people down. I ran out of an alley stopping as a bike thing almost hit me, I looked up seeing the gang piled onto it scared "Ruby!"JJ yelled I looked back seeing Rafe catching up and Ward yards behind him. "Make room."I said hopping on JJ's lap we all yelling at John B to go "how the hell are we all fitting on this?"I laughed looking back gulping at Rafe and Ward as they stopped looking defeated, Rafe jealous for my touchiness with JJ. "Ruby, why do you have a gun in your pocket?"JJ asked pushing me forward slightly lifting my shirt up "swiped it at Ward's beach house, right after I saw all the gold."I smirked "no way!"they yelled
