We met the boys at Pope's in the morning and just hung out there, and helped around a little.

I was still a little shoocked about last night, so the chattering from my end was a little low.

"Hey, everything ok, Bear?", JJ asked me softly and a little awkwardly saying the nickname. I instantly lifted my gaze towards him with a confused but a smily look.

"Where did that come from?", I laughed softly.

"I don't know.", he said weirded out himself too, "You just look like a sad little bear there for a moment." he then said and I just let out a soft laughter.

Out of nowhere Mr. H came back in saying that someone was looking for Pope and we all went in a serious mood.

"Evening, Officer.", Pope said all worried out.

"I have an arrest warrant for felony distraction of property." Officer Shoupe said as he came forward with hand cuffs.

"What!?" Mr. H exclaimed in confusion.

"Hands where I can see 'em." the officer continued. "Young lady out of my way." he said to Kie who tried to cut him off.

"Woah. Wait, Shoupe what'd he do?", Mr. H asked trying to defense his son.

"Look at the warrant." The officer said handing him the piece of paper.

"You're arresting him?" Kie asked.

"You're arresting my boy?" Mr.H asked now with angered tone.

Pope was panicking, so was JJ with all the chattering on top of one another.

Everybody including me tried to stop Shoupe. This was ridiculous.

"It wasn't him!" JJ yelled after a hot moment of everybody yelling at Shoupe.

"What are you doing?", I asked him cautiously taking hold of his arm.

"It was me!" he continued, ignoring me.

"JJ, what?" I whispered trying to hold him back as he walked towards the Officer.

"He tried to talk me out of it." he started "But I was mad because he'd just been beaten up. Y/N was there too, I mean when he was beaten, I dropped her off before I did it." in realization I shut my eyes tightly. Idiots, I thought to myself.

"I was so sick of those assholes from Figure Eight that I lost my shit.", he continued, he was good, pathological liar, no an Oscar winner worthy actor, "I can't let you take the blame for somethin' I did. You've got too much to loose." he went on looking intensely  at Pope

"JJ, what are you doing?" he asked him in confusion.

"I'm tellin' the truth. For once in my goddamn life, I'm gonna tell the truth." He responded now looking at Shoupe "I took his old man's boat too.", he added after a second on intense silence.

"What the hell?" Mr. H asked not believing his ears.

"JJ, c'mon." Pope pleaded.

"Just shut up, Pope! Shut up! He's a good kid." he said to Shoupe, "You know where I'm from." he added nodding his head that the Officer.

"Yeah. That's the whole truth?" he then asked Pope, but JJ confessed for him "I know what you think, damn it, I'm asking Pope here." he snapped at JJ.

"Yeah, that about covers it" Pope finally responded and both me and Kie let out a desperate breaths of frustration.

After that, Shoupe let Pope go and took JJ in and left to the station.

"Shit!" Pope let out frustrated yell as Mr. H called out to him continuously as he stormed inside.

I went home after what had happened at Pope's dropping Kie off and I startled as my phone rang besides me on my way home.

"Hi!", I said putting the phone on speaker as it was Sarah who had called me.

"Can you come over?" she said sounding weird.

"Right now?" I asked tired.

"Yeah?" se responded in asking manners. I told her that I'd be there, and hung up the phone and headed my car towards her's.

-

"Hey what's up?" I said as I hurried in not waiting for her to invite me in as it was raining. "Where have you been?" I asked not really knowing why I asked. I guess to keep the conversation going or something.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about." She said all glowy and shit. I smiled at her awkwardly as I looked at her.

We walked up to her room and as she undressed herself from her wet outfit, I just sat there waiting for her to start talking. I looked out of the window and I couldn't find Rafe's bike in the drive way, so I recon he wasn't home, which made me feel a little easier being here.

"So you're going to the midsummers tomorrow right?" she started of as he put some clothes on and hopped on her bed padding the space next to her for me to hop on too and I did just that.

"Well my parent's are in the mainland, which would mean that I didn't have to go, but Kie made me agree to go, because her mom is forcing her to go, so yes I'm going."

"So you're going with her?"

"No, I'm going alone, but I'll meet her there."

"Okay, what if I told you that I met an actual nice guy, and that I'm falling for him. And thinking of dumping Topper?" she asked cautiously.

"Well, good for you.", I said in supportive tone "And you should dump Topper he's an ass. And oh did I tell you that he and your brother beat up Pope and JJ at the movies the other day." I told her proving my point.

"What?" she exclaimed.

"So, who's the guy?" I asked her changing the subject.

"John B." she said now even more cautiously with a light smile.

My supportive mood dropped a few, and I didn't know how to feel about this "Wow." I just let out.

"I know, it's complicated, but he's just, so different, and so sweet and so much more than anyone I've ever met." she went on and on praising my best friend.

"You're right, this is complicated." I huffed and close my eyes. "Can I take a nap?" I asked her and she chuckled at me nodding and decided to take a nap herself too so we cuddled as we fell asleep.
