What happens when a girl who's scared to fall in love finds her long lost brother & falls into a love triangle? Will she end up on their goose chase to find 400 million dollars in gold? Who will she befriend? Will her brother remember her? Will his...
I must've fallen asleep because when I woke up there was a horn signaling we were pulling up the the dock leading onto Kildare Island, Outerbanks. I looked at the picture, that somehow stayed in my hand when I was asleep, one more time before shoving it in my bag & starting my way off the boat.
I didn't know where I was or where to go, but I was thankful when I started looking around. I seemed to fit in with my clothing so maybe I wouldn't draw too much attention to myself. I changed in the bathroom of the ferry so I was now wearing a pair of fringed jean shorts, matched with a plain black cropped tank top. I had bracelets on my right wrist & a pair of white birkenstocks & a shell anklet. I seemed to fit the beach theme going on here.

I had no clue where to go but I saw a bunch of people hanging around a shop looking place. I started walking towards it hoping to find somebody I could ask for directions to the nearest hotel. As I got closer to the building I saw the sign read "Outerbanks Coast Gaurd". I have no clue what that is but it seemed important with how many people there were.
As I walked into the building I saw it was filled with fish nets, fishing poles, string for crabbing & all kinds of different beach things. There was a tv playing that was talking about a hurricane coming tonight. Great.
I started looking around to find somebody my age that way I wouldn't get asked 20 questions by an adult. My eyes eventually landed on a boy who made my heart rate pick up & made me freeze. You know that saying "love at first sight". I never believed it but I do now because I think I just experienced it. I couldn't tell exactly how tall he was, but considering i'm 5'4 & he looked way taller than me, he had to be at LEAST 6 foot. He had decently long brown hair with highlights that give off the perfect sun-kissed beach look. He has beautiful brown eyes, with light freckles covering his face. He was dressed in a white t-shirt, some swim shorts, a bandana tied around his neck, white converse & a few bracelets on his wrist.
If this is what the men on this island are going to look like i'm not complaining about my shitty home life. I snap myself out of my trance & remember what i'm doing here before walking up to him.
"Excuse me sir, uhm hi." I said tapping his shoulder so he knew I was talking to him since this place was packed.
He turned around & his eyes widened which made me nervous.
John B POV:
I was at the Coast Guard watching the news about the hurricane that was soon to hit the Obx. I was honestly excited for it. It meant I got to reschedule my DCS appointment, surf the surge, & catch hella fish the next day. Things were about to be good.
"Excuse me sir, uhm hi." a sweet voice said tapping my shoulder. I turned around & my eyes widened. Things weren't about to be good. They were about to be GREAT.
A gorgeous girl was standing in front of me. She had long blonde hair & gorgeous blue eyes. She had a few freckles on her nose & looked to be no taller than 5'5. She had on white birks, jean shorts, bracelets on her wrist & ankle, & a plain black tank top. She was beautiful. & she honestly looked like my bestfriend JJ.
Then I realized I was staring & she probably thought I was a creep. I hurried to snap out of it.
"Oh sorry. Uhm hey." I said rubbing the back of my neck & chucking softly. Real smooth John B.
"I'm so sorry to bother you but could you point me to where the nearest hotel is? I kinda just got here on a ferry a few minutes ago & just came to the first place I saw which was here which i'm sure you already knew that considering I said I went there & i'm here so-" the girl in front of me started rambling "omg im so sorry, just where's the nearest hotel?" she asked getting embarrassed. I thought it was cute.
"No, no, it's totally fine. The hotel is right down the road. When you walk outside take a right & then keep going straight until you see a huge white building. It's in a place called the Country Club. You can't miss it. But if I were you-" I started, turning around to look at the tv. "I'd hurry because this hurricanes about to hit & when it does it's going to hit hard"
"Ok yeah, well I guess I better get going" the girl says.
"Yeah that would be smart, bye."
"Bye! Thank you!!" she hollers while starting to jog out the door.
She was beautiful. Wait I didn't get her name. "Shit." I curse to myself as I run outside. "HEY I NEVER CAUGHT YOUR NAME!" I hollered to her.
She turned around & started to walk backwards. "I don't remember throwing it?" she says, chuckling "It's Jasmine. Jasmine Maybank." & with that she's gone. I froze. She just said Maybank. As in Jj Maybank. Jj has a sister? Why didn't he tell us? & why didn't he tell us she was hot?
I make a call to DCS telling them we're probably going to have to reschedule, just as the horn for the hurricane goes off, before running back to the chateau to interrogate my bestfriend since 3rd grade.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ & that's a wrap on chapter 4 :) what will jj think? what are your predictions for chapter 5?
