Promises ~ JJ Maybank

*Lost all hope

The next morning I woke up to a banging noise, I laid on JJ's chest with my arms around him and his around me, but no clothes in between. I then remembered what happened last night and look at JJ still sleeping peacefully, I smile to myself but am caught of guard by more banging.

I climb out of bed and throw on my underwear and JJ's shirt. I go over to the door and see Pope standing there.

P: hey keeks

K: morning

P: where's JJ?

K: still asleep I'll go wake him

P: I'll meet you outside,

I walked back into the bedroom and JJ was still fast asleep. I desire to piss him off by jumping on the bed.

J: uhhh stoppp

He groans,

K: come on, up up up!

Jj: why can't you be nice like you were yesterday?!

I laugh at him, I chuck him some boxers and some shorts.

K: get dressed, you don't want the pogues coming in and finding out what happened do you?

I teased.

Jj: if it means I can still sleep then I don't care

He rolled over in the bed.

K: come on it's gold time baby!

Jj: whoop whoop.

He chants sarcastically.

I kneel down and kiss his cheek.

K: please

J: Mmm

K: come on bro

He sits up immediately.

Jj: woah woah woah, I am not your bro. You do things like we did last night with your bro Keira?

I laughed at him knowing it would work.

K: see your up now let's go!

Jj: I hate you

K: not what you said last night!

I skipped out of the room as JJ rolled out of bed.

A little later he meets us outside and we all start creating a way to get the gold.

Jj: John b pulling a Houdini

P: yeah where is he I got my scholarship interview tomorrow I gotta get this done.

Jj: speak of the devil

John B walks past us all.

Jj: dude I set up the entire winch to pull up the gold and everything

P: no he did not, I did that

Ki: hey

K: John B

Jj: okay that's it?

P: what's that all about?

Jj: I was gonna ask you the same question

He walked straight inside and we follow him. He messes around trying to search for something.

P: you alright man? What's up?

Ki: what are you looking for?

Jj: bro what's going on

He picks up the gun.

Jj: what do you need the gun for?

K: John B No!

He pushes JJ over.

Ki: John B chill!

He walks up to Pope and pushes past him.

P: what are you JJ now?

Ki: shit you okay?

He walks right outside and we rush to him.

K: John b what the hell are you doing? John B

I call after him knowing somethings wrong.

Jb: ward knows about the gold! He killed my dad.

And that was it he sped off on his bike and left.

*hours later

Jj: we need to find him.

Ki: I'll take my car to Sarah's

Jj: I'll look around the cut

P: guys I gotta go home, my interviews tomorrow

K: Pope go home, we get it okay, I'll stay here Incase he comes home.

*That night

It was now night time and I had fell asleep at the chateau.

I suddenly wake up to someone shouting.

I walk out the room and see John B crying in his dads old room.

I walk over to him and sit down next to him.
He looks up at me.

Jb: he's dead, he's really dead

K: I'm so sorry John B

I open my arms and John B breaks down. I hold him tightly as he holds a picture of his dad.

A little later we decide to take the picture and a small stick raft down the pier.

We make a little fire and watch it sail away.
I hug John B from behind as we watch the raft and all his hopes of his dad still being alive sail away.

That night none of us said a word we just laid there and ended up sleeping on the pier too.
