seventy-eight: Bonfire.

WHEN KAI approached Pope and JJ, he smiled and greeted them like he usually does, but JJ doesn't look all that happy. He gives a little handshake to Pope who turns the other way, drinking his beer as Kai turns to JJ, giving a small smile before hugging him.

"Hi," Kai whispered as he put his face to the side of JJ's neck. "Hi." JJ whispered back, hugging him tightly before pulling back to kiss him on the lips gently. Kai looks around, "where are Kie and John B?" He asked and JJ points towards where John B was with the girl that handed him the note about seeing him here.

And then over to Kie who was standing and talking to others, laughing with them. "I'm gonna go get a beer..." Kai said quickly to JJ who just nodded and gave him a little kiss on the cheek before Kai walked off to where the beer was, grabbing one and sighing.

"Hey." He looks over to see Kie who reached over and squeezed his upperarm, "how's your mom?" She asked quietly in a soft tone and he sighs as she links their arms together. "You know... uh, she's okay. She-she's gonna get the help she needs, so..." He trailed off and she nods softly, smiling faintly.

"Come on... let's go shot gun some beers."

Because Kie knew it was the best way to help Kai get his mind off it, he went along with it. He shotguns a few beers with her and JJ joined them, "wow. Shotgunning beers without me?" He asked as his arms are around his boyfriend's waist. "Oh, sorry, baby." Kai giggled and JJ grabs a beer. "Do you guys wanna smoke some weed after this?" He whispers.

"Hell yeah." Kie said as Kai laughed. "Of course we do." He says but then Kai saw Sarah approach John B and that girl dancing. "Oh... no." He whispered quietly. "What?" JJ looked over and saw Topper put his arm around Sarah. "Shit..." JJ says quietly.

"Do you think they're gonna fight?" Kai giggled softly, looking at JJ who has a serious look on his face so his smile fades away as he also glanced over at Kie who sighed softly. "So much for having fun tonight." She says.

As the girl began shouting at Topper, Sarah turns to John B and then Topper and the girl doubled back eventually, all of them arguing. "John B! Kick his ass!" Some guy shouted as a crowd forms around them so they were quickly on their way just in case a fight broke out.

"Get out of here, Topper!"

"He started it, Sarah!"

Sarah keeps trying to push the two boys apart as they all just yelled over one another. "Hey! She don't want you anymore, bro." Kelce said as he steps in between John B and Sarah like as if she wasn't the one that came to him and interrupted his dance with some girl.

"Shut the hell up!"

"What you gonna do, John B, you gonna kill me like you killed Sheriff Peterkin?" That's when the line was crossed. Kelce fucked up. John B turned around and punched him. That's when the fighting began, Topper grabbed John B by his collar as other Kooks came to help Topper but other Pogues had John B's back.

They push through the crowd when Sarah gets shoved by another girl and she falls down. "Sarah!" John B shouted as Kie came up to the girl. "Move, bitch! What's your problem?" She yells at the girl and Kai rushed to Sarah, helping her up. "Hey, what the hell?"

"Are you okay?" Kai asked as he helped the blonde girl up and the girl who previously flirted with John B yells at Kie and Kai, "whose side are you two on?!" And Kie looks at her. "She's our friend!" She shouted. "You both belong with us!" The girl yelled back at them.

As JJ and Pope run to help John B, Kai spots other Kooks coming to help out Topper so he runs over to help JJ pull Topper off of John B. "Guys, it's not worth it!" Kie shouted at them to break up their fighting.
