John b was completely out of view so jj and jo walked back to the car, expecting kie and pope to follow
"you okay?" kie asked pope causing jj and jo to turn to look back at them
"i'm sorry for...acting like a dumbass" pope said "i was just upset, and i was acting petty"
jo looked at jj who was trying to not chuckle
"...just wanna be friends again" pope said and kie hugged him, the two pulled away and looked into each other's eyes until kie kissed pope
"no shit" jo chuckled under her breath, jj leaned in to whisper into her ear "our kisses are better than that"
"hell yeah" jo chuckled until they heard the sound of sirens
"hey, guys, i'm sorry to ruin the party, but, uh, we gotta go right now" the four walked to the car but two police cars stopped them. jo and kie immediately put their hands up but the boys didn't
"move. hands up! hands up!" the police man said, actually he looked like someone from the f.b.i
"pope, hands" kie stated
"jj, please, hands up" jo cried out, afraid of him being hurt if he didn't, finally the two boys put their hands up
"we're too late. he's gone. god damn it!" shoupe yelled "bratcher, have your guys stand down" he continued as he walked towards the four teens "let me talk to these kids. all right, where the hell is he?"
the four didn't answer "where the hell is he?!"
shoupe stood in front of jj "jj? i see you're livin' up to your name" shoupe moved to stand in front of pope "pope, how about you? this isn't a fucking game! you can do the right thing now! where'd he go?"
•••
"sit down. don't move"
jo reluctantly sat down as jj quietly sat beside her. he gently placed a hand over her bare thigh, giving a small squeeze to let her know that everything was going to be okay. kie sat next to jj and pope beside her
"we got a lot to talk about" it was dark outside and it was starting to rain, the storm was coming and the kids wished john b was already out of it
jo was shocked that all these police officers, tents, radios, and people in general were there for one thing; john booker routledge
she was nervous, the storm outside getting worst by the second. at some point the caos began, when she heard that sarah found a way to get on the boat with john b. so now the person who was for her like a brother and the girl who was for her like a sister were stuck in the middle of the ocean and she didn't know if they were going to survive but, honestly, she had a really bad feeling
"it's gonna be okay" jj whispered and it looked like he read her mind
"we don't know"
after something that looked like days, three man in bright yellow rain jackets walked into the white tent. one was shoupe, one was the woman that they made fall into the ground in front of the police station and one was mr. big head
"did you find them?" pope asked standing in front of the three police man
shoupe shook his head "no"
"so, they got away?" kie said, jo's bad feeling grow into her heart
shoupe avoided the kids gazes "we, uh...we lost them" he now stared into each pogues' eyes "i'm sorry"
"you lost them?" pope questioned "what do you mean you lost them? like, they're gone? what are you taking about?"
"they took an open boat into a tropical depression, pope" shoupe continued even though he didn't exactly know what to say
"they are dead" jo stated "that's what he fucking means" tears falling down her cheeks
shoupe looked into her eyes "we don't know"
"you drove them straight through the storm, man!" jj yelled "are you kidding me?" launching towards shoupe, he didn't exactly know what to do but he needed to let out his anger "i'm gonna kill you, you bastard!"
jj voice sounded muffled in jo's ears, as if it came from far away, but she watched the scene and tried to get her body to stop her boyfriend. before she could do anything mr. big head picked jj up and pulled him away
"he didn't kill anyone, and you know it!" pope yelled at shoupe
"we're still looking for him, all right?"
"pope, pope. just stop, please" kie stopped pope crying as jj was still trying to get himself out of mr. big head's grip.
jo walked towards the man "i got him" she stated and he reluctantly let got of jj
"you asshole!" jj yelled, jo took him by the shoulders, forcing him to look at her "jj, please, just stop" she crying and he pulled her into a hug
"josephine" the voice of her mother sounded behind her back making her turn around. they were all there, mr. and mrs. carrera and the heywards, no one for jj
"mom!" she cried as her mother hugged her "they are gone!" tears falling down her cheeks at the thought of leaving her life without john b and sarah. pope hugged his parents and so did kie, monica looked at jj who was standing alone and she opened her the arm which was hugging jo and pulled him into the hug too. monica knew jj's story and she knew how much importante he was for jo, so he was important for her.
"it's gonna be okay" monica whispered
"mom, i can't breathe" jo whispered making her mother and her boyfriend pull away
"come with me, cupcake" he took her hand and walked out. the blondes stood in front of jo's car, not giving a shit about the storm.
jj took her hand and place it over his chest "just, breathe with me, okay? feel my breath and follow it" he whispered and that's what she did, she felt his lungs get full and empty and that helped her to calm down from her panic attack
pope and kie walked out of the tent to make sure jo was okay, the four looked at each other and pulled each other into a big hug
