I have been friends with the Pogues since 3rd grade, it's been me and them. But JJ and I have been together since birth. Our moms were best friends but after JJ's mom disappeared we knew his home situation was bad, so my family and I took him under our wing. He would bounce between his house, mine and John B's but more times than not, he would be found at John B's because he didn't want us feeling like he was burdening us. I live on Figure 8 but my family isn't has well off as some of the others were are and I am not a fan of the Kooks. I actually became best friends with Kiara because we both lived the life we didn't want, Pogue soul in a Kook body, we just wanted to live the unplanned life and run around with no rules and no social status. Part of that unplanned life was falling for my best friend. I know, predictable right? But it's true. Since about a year ago I couldn't help it. When JJ found out I liked him, he had asked me out and of course I said yes. We have been together for 6 months now, and nothing has changed he's still the blonde hair blue eyed best friend I had since 3rd grade, just some added perks.
"Hurricanes coming!" you hear John B yell running into the house.
"Does that mean no DCS?" I say as I run up the steps into the chateau
"Yup I'm a free man for a few more days!"
You hear JJ laugh on the couch. You run over and sit on the couch with him and throw your legs on his lap. You purse your lips out wanting him to kiss you and he leans over and gives you a peck.
"Dude, I think we should make a run for it. Jump on a boat, sail down the coast into Mexico. No one will miss us. Brand new life."
I knew how much JJ wanted to get away, but I also know how much I would hurt not getting to see him everyday, "Yeah with what?" You challenge him.
"My dad's boat," He sits up and you move your legs off of him he turns his body to look at me, "I know where his keys are and clearly where he keeps the boat."
My eyes soften, "Yeah right, you couldn't do it" looking at him hoping he realizes how much it hurts thinking of him leaving.
"What makes you say that?" he says as he grabs my hands and pulls me onto his lap, "You can't ditch your girlfriend. Besides, I wouldn't let you go" he directs my hands over his had and I run my hands through the back of his hair.
"True, I could kidnap you. Make you come with me, you never have to leave my side." I remove my hands from the back of his head and hold them out while I give him a suggestive look, "Nothings holding you back." He takes my wrists and hold onto them. John B comes into the house and sits down in the living room.
"Go ahead and kidnap her JJ, see what happens next" Pope comes out of the kitchen with two beers in his hand and throws it towards John B and keeps one for himself.
"Always ruining the fun Pope. It's not like anyone would miss us." JJ taps my hips telling me to get up and he goes into the kitchen to grab a beer for himself. "Uh- I think otherwise." I sit back onto the couch and cross my legs.
"You're right. Your mom and dad couldn't live without me." JJ comes out throwing me a beer as well and sitting on the edge of the couch.
"You think you're so funny don't you? You're not taking a boat into Mexico." JJ looks over at me and gives me a mocking face, to motion to slap his arm but he catches me hand before I touch him. He looks down at me with a playfully warning look. I challenge him with a look of my own as I run my eyes up and down his frame and smirk.
"Hey guys!" I hear Kie walk in and JJ drops my hand and I can't help but smile. "Storms coming in, looks like it's going to be a pretty bad one."
"I should probably head home then." I grunt as I get up and grab my backpack, "I don't want my parents worried about me all night.
