Head Over Heels ✔︎John B Routledge

Chapter II - Kegger

It was a couple hours later and Nat was sat with peeler at a busy dock, it wasn't long before the four pogues came and sat with them.

All of a sudden a stretcher with what looked like a dead body came rushing around the corner, she couldn't get a good look at who it was. Everybody stared as a woman rushed over to the body, crying. It didn't take long for Nat to realise that woman was Lana, and the body was her husband, Scooter.

Nat ran over, there weren't any tears coming from her eyes, she was in shock. Pure shock. She cried quietly and hugged Lana who was sobbing and shaking.

The sight of his lifeless body made Nats stomach turn so she faced the other way, trying not to throw up on the ground.

Natalie didn't know how to feel, but she did know she felt extremely bad for not caring as much as Lana did. Was there something wrong with her? Nat also knew how hard it would for her aunt and made a mental note to take try and take care or her to the best of her ability.

The girl began walking towards where she was sat earlier to grab her bag and phone and peeler for some reason hid her phone quickly
from Nat.

"What are you doing?" she said to peeler firmly, her brows furrowed.

"Nothing, what are you talking about?"

Nat grabbed her best friends phone to see a picture of Scooters dead body on her phone.

"What the fuck lee?!" Nat yelled

Natalie began to walk away

"Natalie-"

"Sicko" Nat interrupted, not turning back around.

She was just out of sight of the pogues and her now ex best friend when a she heard a male voice, "Hey wait-"

She turned around and john b was stood before her.

"I just thought i'd say sorry for your loss" he looked down at her "i know how hard it is" the brown haired boy continued.

"Thank you, i appreciate it" she give him friendly hug and made her way home.

——————————————

On the way home Nat heard some people talking about a kegger tonight. Nat loved a good party, and since today had been a shit show she figured, why not? She desperately needed to get her mind off the whole scooter thing and what better way than getting shitfaced.

Nat got home and exchanged her crop top she was currently wearing for a green flowery button up shirt, which she didn't button up. Then got in her car and made her way to the boneyard.

In the middle of the boneyard was john b filling everyones red solo cups while jj passed out the cups.

"Heyy Nat you made it" jj exclaimed, clearly already tipsy.

"How did you find out?" john b asked before she could say anything back to jj.

"Oh you know, word gets around fast" she replied while john b filled her cup.

"See you around John." she shouted as she was already a few feet away.

"See you around, Natalie"

It got dark fast and Nat was still drinking. A lot. She made her way over to where john b and jj were standing over by the ocean, jj offering sarah a drink.

"No thanks." she declined but jj carried on.

"Oh cmon, is it not fancy enough for you?"

"Hey you know what i'll take it." Sarahs douchebag boyfriend topper who was also there with them.

"Thats nice but i didn't ask you- if you said pretty please maybe but you didn't" jj said.

"Hey whats going on?" i asked with my half full cup in my hand.

I didn't get an answer from anyone and they continued arguing before topper hit the cup, spilling alcohol all over jj causing him to lose his temper and push topper.

"Guys stop it, seriously" Nat ordered but they obviously didn't listen.

"Dirty pogues" topper commented, john b now pushing him, sending him stumbling back a few steps.

Topper threw the first punch, knocking john b into the ocean and kicking him back down as he struggled trying to get up.

"Topper quit it" Nat yelled along with sarah who was attempting to get topper to stop beating the boy.

"Dont make me drown you like your old man, alright?" topper was soon holding john bs head down in the water, he was drowning him.

Nat, jj, kie and pope all exchanged a worried look before jj grabbed a bag from nearby and pulled out a gun.

"jj are you crazy" Natalia shouted.

Her head was pounding and all the screaming around her didn't help, her fingers were placed on her temples in attempt to calm down the ringing in her ears (and dizziness).

Before she knew it gunshots were being fired and she looked over at john b to see him collapse into the ocean.

"John b!" she shouted, getting the attention of the others who were arguing. "Guys help me"

John b opened his eyes to see Nat and jj sat on either side of him

"Oh my god john your face" she said worriedly.

He groaned as he helped himself to his feet slowly, then looking over to Nat who was standing to the right of him "Its john b" he replied jokingly.

she let out a sigh of relief  "Is that really your main concern right now?"
