You have been friends with the Pogues since 3rd grade. Since the first day of third grade it's been you and them. But you and JJ have been together since birth. Your moms were best friends. After JJ's mom disappeared you knew his home situation was bad so you guys took him under your wing. He would bounce between his house yours and John B's but more times than not he would be found at John B's because he didn't want you guys to feel as though he was using you. You had lived in Figure 8 but you weren't as wealthy as some of the others were and you didn't like the kooks. You actually found yourself in a similar situation as Kiara, you weren't liked by the kooks, and you would rather live an unknown, unplanned life. Part of that unplanned life was falling for your best friend. I know, predictable right? But it's true. Since about a year ago you couldn't help it. When JJ found out he had asked you out and how could you not say yes. You guys have been together for about 6 months now, and nothing has changed he's still the blonde hair blue eyed best friend you've had since 3rd grade, just some added perks.
"Hurricanes coming!" you hear John B yell running into the house.
"Does that mean no DCS?"
"Yup im 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 give him the kissy lips 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. Nothing can happen. New life."
You knew how much JJ wanted to get away, and you knew how much it hurt him to be here with his dad. But you didn't want him to leave you. You couldn't bare it.
"Yeah with what?" You challenge him.
"My dads boat." He sits up and you move you legs off of him.
"Yeah right, you couldn't do it." You looked at him in a sad way.
"What makes you say that?"
"You can't ditch your girl friend. And I wouldn't let you go" JJ reaches over and wraps his arm around your shoulders and pulls you into him.
"True, I could kidnap you. Make you come with me you never have to leave my side." You put your hands up and give him a suggestive look. He grabs your hands and holds them there.
"Go ahead and kidnap her JJ, see what happens next" you hear Pope say coming from the kitchen. JJ lets go of your wrists and you sit up.
"Always ruining the fun Pope. It's not like anyone would miss us." He says standing up going to grab a beer.
"Uh-"
"You're right. Your mom and dad couldn't live without me." JJ comes out throwing you 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 down at you and gives you mocking face, you slap his arm but he catches you're hand. He looks down at you with a playful warning look.
"Hey guys!" You hear Kie walk in. JJ drops your hand and you 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." You say to the Pogues. You sit up from the couch and grab your back pack. "I don't want my parents worried about me all night.
"You can stay here, we can crash on the pullout." JJ mentions.
You guys have slept in the same bed together before, you would have sleepovers all the time and anytime you stayed over at John B's house you guys shared the pull out.
