Call Out My Name - JJ Maybank

- There are only three kinds of relationships in the animal kingdom. The first is Commensalism, one example.. fish finding hiding spots in coral reefs. Fish profits, but life for the coral doesn't change. Then there is Mutualism, a relationship where both animals benefit off of each other. The tricky thing about animals is , you don't always know what kind of relationship you are in. Which brings me to relationship number three. The Parasitic. "welcome home kids" Ward said which sent a shiver down my spine. I smiled at the man and got out of the car grabbing my bags. There was a room kind of like me and John B's room back at home. There was two beds , but we had dressers, closets, and bedside tables "And this is your room" Sarah said walking us in the room as i threw my bags on one of the beds "Holy Kook" i said in amazement at how nice the room is. "and my room is right upstairs. Just a warning I sleep walk" she said "oh so you want me to just roll with it" John B said she laughed and he kissed her. I made a disgusted face and put up the picture of me and JJ he gave to me, along with one I had recently taken on the mirror. "Sarah you already broke rule on. Stay out of there room. Picture this as a boundary" he said pointing to the door trying to keep her from John B "Give me and the new inmates a moment to talk" He said joking "How's your wrist" he asked "uh better" John answered him "your a lucky kid, fall any other way dont hit that sand, you could have broken both your legs or your back." he stated the obvious "yeah super lucky" john B agreed "I just want to say thank you for sticking up to DCS for us" He said as i agreed "dont even worry about it. Happy to do it. One other thing um. Last night Sarah was in my office and she was getting a map said it was for you, and I'm sorry, but i just have to ask your not chasing after pots of gold like you old man are you Land J" he said calling us what our father did "um actually could you not call us um.. that. Its just only our father called us that" I said feeling uncomfortable in the situation "yeah, but look Mr. C Sarah said you guys had some cool old maps. I'm kind of a history buff myself and uh i guess I got from my dad" he explained "That makes sense anyway uh take it easy the next couple days alright you two have been through a lot" he said "ready" i asked him as we had plans to meet with the group "sorry can I ask where you are going just so i know" ward asked "Hang out with some friends" i told him "The Pogues ? where?" he asked I sighed not really wanting to tell him but I had to because after all he is giving us a place to stay and got DCS off of us so "the wreck" I said to him and he nodded telling us to have fun. We pulled up in the Twinkie nd went inside "Okay im sorry you guys are staying where" Kie asked " Tannyhill" I said "I'm praying for you girl" she said to me "Ugh thanks" i said "so you guys are living with Sarah Cameron" she said "okay look the only reason we are staying is because her dad bailed me out, and its way better then foster care which is where we were headed" Pope cut John B off " So wait do you guys have a membership to the clubs now or?" he said " We were literally there for ten minutes Pope i dont know." i said to him "what about one of those little golf carts they drive around do you get one of those" JJ asked completely ignoring what I said "does it come with a sweater vest or do you have to buy your own"  Pope jokes "Look you promised you weren't with her" Kie said "Oh no he lied they were all up on each other before we left Kissing and all most disgusting thing ever" I said "now you know how we feel about you and JJ" John B said "I'm sorry we keep PDA to a minimum that was like full on" i said JJ put his arms around my shoulders as i held his hand "bro just own it she got you" JJ said to John B "Look if you want to hang out with her that's fine. But im letting you know right now that im not doing anything with her" Kie said " I agree" i stated " do you guys see her here No, right, a little focus would be fantastic we have the map right" john B said "well its all out of whack because the guy was ganja'd when he drew it" JJ said "Its cus the coast changed babe" I said to him  "so we just have to look for landmarks that haven't changed" Pope said "what about the old forts" I said to him. We all got up and gathered everything heading to the Twinkie. we got in and JJ said on the floor, my back leaning against his chest as he played with my hair. He went next to my ear and whispered so only I can hear him "Can I take you out on a date?" I turned my head to him surprised JJ didnt seem like the date type "What? of course" "Okay how about tomorrow Ill take you out to dinner" He said "That sounds perfect" I said. he kissed the top of my head as he kept playing with my hair making me fall asleep on the long ride. I felt myself get lifted as my arms tiredly clung on to something and my legs were being held. I wasn't fully aware of my surroundings as I just woke up. When i was I clung onto JJ tighter as I took in her strong sent. My eyes adjusted to the light as I hopped down from JJ's back my legs still not awake I grabbed onto JJ stopping my fall. Pope opened the map pointing to where we were "we are right here in battery" he pointed to another spot on the map "if this is parcel 9 then its somewhere northeast from here." I didnt fully understand pope as it was too early in me waking up to understand these directions. Kie pointed into the distance as i hugged JJ "Guys that's not Tannyhill though that's a subdivision" My boyfriend pointed out obviously confused " Tannyhill Plantation  used to be the entire island. It got sold into tiny pieces over time" I stated joining the conversation being fully awake now. "So we are looking for an old stone wall" Pope said pointing to yet another thing on the map.
