Young Love ( JJ Maybank x Reader )

Chapter 12

The following morning you were all sitting on the couches, eating toast when JJ suddenly jumped over the back of the couch, his toast in his mouth as he landed beside you.

"Another broken couch." John B mumbled with his mouthful, looking over at his best friend.

"You gotta sleep there." Pope pointed out from where he was sitting on the single seater across the room.

"I always sleep here. Or should I sleep in Y/N's bed?"

You nearly choked on your toast as you coughed and quickly looked over at your brother. You were just waiting for him to start yelling, but to your surprise, he just shook his head with a small chuckle.

"Too soon, bro. Too soon."

JJ gave your brother an apologetic smile as you rolled your eyes before, Sarah Cameron walked through the front door.

What the fuck was she doing here?

"Didn't expect to see you here." You said bluntly, glaring at her.

Sarah had hurt your brother. John B would never admit it out loud, but you knew it hurt when she broke up with him. You were not going to pretend to be nice to her. Not after what she did.

"Shouldn't you be on Figure Eight with your little group of polo players? Or did you break up with Topper?" Your brother asked, pulling a face making you nearly choke on your toast again as you laughed.

"We're just friends."

"What are you doing here? What do you want?" John B questioned, sitting up in his chair.

"I'm here for Pope." She answered, looking over at, Pope, who just frowned in confusion. "I think I found the island room."

Well, that caught all your attention.

As much as you wanted to hate her right now, if she knew where the island room was, you needed to play nice.

-

It didn't take long before you were piling out John B's van and walking to the Cameron's mansion of a house.

Sarah took you all into a room upstairs, but the second you stepped inside your jaw dropped. The wallpaper covering the walls had been torn off, revealing what looked to be a map of the island spread across it.

The island room.

It all made sense now.

Wheezie came in and explained that a woman with crutches had come in with Rafe and ripped the place. They were trying to find something and spoke about angels before abruptly leaving.

You all knew if they had abruptly left that meant they had found what they were looking for and it was here in this room.

So, the group of you quickly got searching.

Pope kept repeating Denmark's famous last words about burning the real treasure at the foot of the angel while you all searched for anything that looked like an angel.

In the end it was JJ who had figured it out. While you were looking for a proper angel, it was actually a tree called Angel Oak. In the painting on the wall there was a keyhole in the middle of the trees trunk and it was all coming together.

The treasure was buried at the foot of the angel.

The cross was buried at the foot of the tree.

Holy shit.

You all rushed back into John B's van and drove to where the tree was. You had no idea how your brother knew the right location, but you didn't ask any questions as he drove.
