John B. Pov

"Thats what? A three-story fall from the deck"Pope asked as I balanced on the tip of a new house being built in Figure 8. "I'd give you a one-in-three chance of survival." He continued

I put my hand to my mouth and licked my index finger. I lifted it into the air to feel the wind gust.

"Should I do it?"I joked looking down at my friends

"Yeah, and I'lll shoot you on the way down"Pope joked again as he pointed a drill gun at me.

"You'll shoot me"I questioned him holding my hands in the air.

"Yep.Pow"

"Can you not kill yourself" Y/n called up sheltering her face with her hand to block the sun.

"Yeah and don't spill that beer,Im not giving you another one"JJ shouted

I brushed his comment off confident that I wouldn't spill his beer.In that moment I lost my balance and leaned forward dropping the beer off the roof causing it to spill all over the deck.

"Nooo" I cried peering down at the spilled drink.

"Of course you did"JJ said rolling his eyes

"Real smooth dumbass "Y/n said also rolling her eyes.

We started to hear noises from the front of the house.Pope leaned over the edge of the railing to see who was there.

"Hey,uh,Security here lets wrap it up. Boys are here early today."Pope said retreating from over the railing.

"Come on Humpty Dumpty"Y/n joked squinting up at me.

I laughed it off rolling my eyes at her nickname.

"Gary??is that you"JJ asked the officer.

I hopped off the roof onto the deck.

The four of us started running through the house that was still not fully constructed.

We ran out the door all the way to the van trying to not get caught by the security huard.

Pope and JJ sat in the back while y/n and I sat in the front two seats. We started driving back the the Cut as Gary chased us.

JJ opened the sliding door to the van and stuck his head out.

"Come on, almost there"He teased reaching a beer out to him.

"They really don't pay you enough"He said throwing the beer into Gary's hands.

Y/n rolled her eyes while Pope yelled at JJ to quit harassing him.

In the meantime, I was trying my best to focus on the road, occasionally taking quick glances over to y/n seated next to me.I couldn't help but notice how pretty she looked. Her hair blew in the wind from the open window.She had a smile on her face and extended one arm out the window to feel the cooling breeze. I smiled at her. She noticed my gaze and darted her eyes towards me.I immediately looked back to the road  nervously fearing that she would ask me why she caught my stare.Instead she laughed it off and brought her attention back out the window.
