"I don't know. i don't know what i feel anymore" jo said sat in the bed of a truck where pope and jj was trying to understand what the mechanic was going to do with pope's truck
"why? why did you break up?" kie asked
"we were at his house and i had to go to dinner with my family. he had spend the last week telling me that i was getting spoiled and he started telling me that again that day. i yelled back. i said horrible things. he said horrible things. i honestly couldn't take it anymore" jo said, a tear falling down her cheek "i don't know if we kept fighting because we were grieving or because we didn't love each other anymore but i ended it"
"so you broke up with him?" kie asked confused
jo was about to start talking again when jj approached the two girls
"in the middle of nowhere" he said placing his arms over the edge of the truck "dude's in heaven right now. 'gotta know the calibration point before you do anything with the intake valve, jj. you do the-'" he said and he saw that kie was kind of sad
"hey. you all right?" he asked
"my mom is so worried that i'm gonna be a pogue that she's willing to send me to boarding school" she answered
"well, i guess that's what you get for hanging out with the wrong crowd, kie" jj said taking a sip from his flask
"i mean, i'm not gonna go. it's too late anyway. i already am who i am"
"ain't all that bad" jo said taking the flask from his hands and taking a sip
"just look at that guy over there" jj said pointing to pope who was talking to the mechanic and the two girls turned to look at the brunette boy "he would do anything for us. that's a pogue if i've ever seen one. bone-deep. that's just one man's opinion, though"
a bit later pope and kiara were into the shop to pay for the reparation, jo had offered to pay but she didn't have her card and not enough cash so kiara wanted to pay
jj was standing in front of the bed of the truck taking little sips from his flask and jo walked in front of him, kneeling on the bed truck to be face to face with jj. she placed her hands over his shoulders, rubbing her thumbs "i'm sorry" she whispered as he took another sip
"what are talking about?" he questioned
"i'm sorry about everything i said. i'm sorry for leaving and i'm sorry for breaking up with you"
he looked into her eyes, biting his lower lip "i said things too and i'm sorry for that. i'm sorry for calling you spoiled and i'm sorry for implying that you didn't love me" he said
