The Tale.

(A/N: TW: mention of hard drug use)

Sarah couldn't breathe. That was a dead body. A dead person. She started to gasp and whimper loudly, tears forming in her eyes. Each breath was a fight.

Y/N heard her cries from Rafe's room- and that mean Rafe did too. He slowly puled away from her. Staring down at Y/N for a moment, in hopes of imprinting this imagine in his retinas.
"Someone followed you." He whispered, waking quickly outside.
"Rafe!" Y/N shouted after him.
"I'll be back." He chuckled. Nevertheless, she followed him out.

Sarah was backing away from the trucks open doors. Until she felt some hands on her shoulders. Grabbing her angrily and tightly. "I really wish you didn't do that." He said quietly. Sarah choked on her air and tried to push her brother away, "Get off of me!"
Rafe picked her up.
"No!"
Y/N ran towards her, putting her arms on Sarah's. "Hey S. S it's okay..."
"Y/N!" She exclaimed, clinging to her friend.

JJ wandered towards the old man with the shot gun. He needed to think of a lie and fast.
"You see sir, we are three simple boys. We... had a hard up-bringing. We were stealing and lying to get by, always on edge. Always being watched. We had no role-models sir. Nothing. Everyone around us were in jail or on their way too it... It was a couple years ago now, mid winter, when we met Mr. Cameron. We were deep into hard drugs. Heroin. Our dealer, dagger, was on our case for payment. He was a scumbag. Lowest of the low. Used everyone he could get his grubby hands on, and three helpless teenagers were just his demographic. We owed him a lot of money... and Dagger earned that name for a damn reason. He said instead of payment he would take our lives, or he would have someone elses. Someone he hated." JJ pointed over at the mansion, "Mr Cameron. He was our hit. None of us felt good about it. The dead of night. We were supposed to kill that... great, great man, Dagger drove us here in his van. He chucked us onto the street with a gun and one. Bullet. He told us to kill Mr Cameron, in exchange for our own, young lives. His wife, family, admirers. All discarded as collateral. But in that moment, it was my friend here who told us all what we had to do." JJ patted Pope's shoulder, "We needed to die, in the name of morals. Our hearts were beating. Ba-dum. Ba-dum. Every atom every fiber, begging for us to run away. I reached a shaking hand down to the gun. And as Dagger drove away, I shot at his van. BANG!" He clapped his hands, making the man jump, "His van's wheel had popped. Of course us three were really panicking at this point, so we jumped over the wall and ran as fast as we could through Tannyhill's grounds. Dagger hot on out tail, and armed. Through flowers, ferns and all sorts of dying fauna. Then we came across the rhododendron and some night blooming Jazmine. The single, blooming flowers in that whole garden. Blossoming beautifully. It's purple explosions of petals sparked hope in us all. Dagger was right behind us, he was skilled in the art of the chase sir, and we all felt this was the end. But who was to emerge from the rhododendron's, but Mr. Cameron himself. He tod us later on that it was an hour of sadness for him, and late night gardening helped ease his troubled mind. This good man ran right up to Dagger, and risked his life to save us. Fighting off this evil man with just his fists. First disarming, then de-arming. Snapping his arms like twigs. All for some boys he had never met. Like a knight, in shining armour. Since that day- we had worked for him... He was the only man to ever believe in us. He let us study in his home, he fed us and gave us water. He even let us shower after hot days. He was our saviour, and so, the knight of the Rhododendron lives on. In here..." He poked the man's heart. He had lowered his gun throughout JJ's story and become rather misty eyed.
"That's why we planted those flowers. To symbolize the ever-green gratefulness that lives on in us, even after Mr. Cameron is gone." JJ explained.
"Sure, yes." John B agreed.
Pope nodded slowly, "Yes.. that's why."
JJ looked to the man, "You smell that right?"
He sniffed, "What is that? Night blooming Jazmine?"
"No sir, it's more like natural Viagra." JJ laughed.
"Okay!" John B cut him off.
Pope however was on board, "Yes! That's what it is!"
"Really!?" The man looked surpised.
"One sniff and bam! It's hammer time!" JJ said loudly while John B pulled him away from the man.
"Aright dude..." Pope said, "Our associate Tommy will be here any minute."
"We'll, we'll be quiet. All right?" JJ said. "And we'll finish up here. Sorry to bother you."
The man started to walk away. "See that you do." 
"Have a good night sir." Pope smiled.
"I gotta get some of those flowers..." The man mumbled as he drove away in his buggy.
