The Harper household was as usual very quiet, rain was pouring from the sky and the wind was getting stronger every minute. Inside the house Joanna Harper was running through her closet, trying to find her favourite yellow cardigan. As soon as she found it she threw it over her shoulders and grabbed her phone.

"Mum! Dad! I'm leaving! " Jo shouted as she ran down the stone stairs of her home.

"Where are you going sweetheart?" Leonard Harper called from the kitchen as he filled the reusable containers with his homemade Alfredo pasta.

"Spending the night at John B's, knowing him he'll probably try and surf the surge so I'll be playing babysitter for the night" she laughed as she took a fork and tried some of the pasta.

"Mhh this is amazing dad, where's mum?"

"She's out getting some more supplies for the care packages that were making to help out after the Hurricane"

"Oh okay, and have you seen Milo?" Milo was a stray cat that traveled all around the Outer Banks, he would always come to the Harper Household to get his daily food supply and his monthly bath before he would bugger off again to god knows where.

"Yep Milo should be in the living room, didn't want him to be out in the storm, Oh and I made some extra pasta for your friends" he handed her the boxes that were filled with food and gave her a kiss on the head.

"Thank you! Bye Dad!" Jo called as she walked to her blue Jeep. She put the food in the trunk of the car and then made her way towards the drivers seat when she felt a fluffy presence at her leg.

"Wanna come with me Milo?" She picked the cat up as he let out a meow.

"Alright then I guess you're coming" Jo let Milo sit beside her in the passenger seat as she drove to John B's house.

Driving through the south side she made a quick stop at JJ's house to pick him up, she knew how much he hated being in his own home. Luckily she arrived just at the perfect time, JJ slammed the door shut when he noticed the familiar blue Jeep.

"Need a ride Maybank?" She teased as he jogged up to the passenger side, though he let out a high pitched scream when he saw the white feline sprawled across the seat. JJ was absolutely terrified of cats.

"God I hate that cat" he muttered as he made his way to the backseat, far away from Milo.

"Why are you so scared of cats?" Jo laughed as she drove off.

"They just look evil, I mean that cat is already planning my death" he brushed a hand through his fluffy blond hair as he gave the cat a dirty look.

They arrived at John B's , the sky was now much darker and the wind was much stronger.

"Ooo papa made pasta" JJ said in a high pitched voice as he took the containers of pasta from the trunk.

When they were safely inside John B's chateau Jo set Milo on the floor and threw herself onto the couch.

"Where the fuck is John B?" JJ asked as he jumped beside her.

"No Idea, he better not be surfing" just as that sentence left her lips, John B came stumbling through the door.

"Hey where were you?" She asked him as JJ played with her hair.

"Just- uh out" John B smiled as he made his way towards the kitchen. "Oh hello kitty" he muttered as he passed Milo.

"Oh let me guess you were surfing the surge?" Jo said giving him the 'I know' look.

"Maybe"

"One day you will get seriously injured and I will have the pleasure of telling you 'I told you so'." Jo told him as she handed him a box of pasta.

"Is this what I think it is?" He looked at her with a big smile, John B loved Jo's fathers cooking.

"Yup it is, Dad made extra so he gave me some to give to you" she winked as she took the other box and gave it to JJ.
