Chapter 1

That was one Year ago.
Another 3Month later, John B's Dad went missing. Juliett didn't knew John B that well, but when she found him completely blacked out drunk on the Beach, she took matters into her own hands, and took care of him. She'd bring him to her place, and while he threw his guts up her toilet, she'd bring him water, and she'd tell him, that it would be okay.
Eversince then, Juliett had a weak spot for John B, as he did for her. They were hanging out on a regular basis, but the other Pogues didn't know.
He was kind of like the brother she never had, and she was like the Sister he never had.

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Juliett was currently cleaning the Outside of the Hotel Entrance, which got messed up during Hurricane Agatha. Every now and than she'd look on her phone checking if she got any Messages from Rafe or John B.

"Juliett?" she twirled around and looked at her uncle.

"Hm?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Do you remember the old Motel I used to work in? Right before I got hired here? My old Boss Ricky asked me to come help him with something, the Hurricane hit there really hard. But Ronny just called in sick, I have to cover his shift, could you maybe go to Ricky and help him?" her Uncle asked her with a pleading look.

"What- of course. I'll be right there."

With her air pods in her ear she started to jog to the motel. Eversince Rafe and her went to the Gym together, she became a lot more athletic. And she actually liked working out with him.
When she arrived she wrinkled her nose in disgust.
„dude.." she whispered to herself, but made her way to Rocky.

„Rockyyy? Uncle T send me!" she nearly screamed inside the Reception, if you can call it that.

„Juliett thank God your here! I need you to get the mattresses out of every room, can you do that? I need to clean the garden, and the Cops are about to come and check some room out, i don't know why tho." he responded.

„Imma do it." Juliett said bluntly throwing on a Motel T-Shirt.

She put on her air pods again, and jogged to the Room, Rocky told her to start at.
After the first 7Rooms she heard a Boat Engine but decided to ignore it.
But when her air pod battery went low, and she had put them in her pocket, she heard somebody's Voice asking something, sounding familar with John B's.
She wanted to scare him, but than she heard an all too familiar voice answering.

Juliett came out the room she was in, and threw the Mattress to the other ones already lying outside.

„Didn't know you would actually know something." she said out loud, and both the boys squeaked and turned around.

„Haha, very funny. Did Uncle T fire you, or what are you doin' here?" JJ spat at her.

„Working." was her answer, when she turned around to John B. „Hey Honeypie." she smiled devilish.

John B looked at her. „You are so dead."

Juliett squealed and ran into her room again, John B following her. After a short moment, he came out again with a tear laughing Juliett on his shoulders.

„John B let me down!"

„Only, if you're going to tell me, whose room this is." he demanded, while letting Juliett down.

„You two seem... close." JJ said with a hint of jealousy in his voice. „Rafe's boring now so you take John B?" JJ's Look shot daggers.

Juliett looked at him with an unimpressed look.
„Actually, Rafe and I are doing fine. Do you want me to tell him something from you?" she fake battled her eyes at him.
Her Look went to John B. „And yes JB and I are Friends, shouldn't be a problem. But to answer your question Honeypie, I'm just helpin' the motel owner out today. I don't actually know whose Room it is. And before you continue talking, I don't wanna know what your about to do. The Cops are supposed to
Come here today and check something out, so.." her eyes locked with JJ. „.. be careful, okay?"
