An Outer Banks story // JJ Maybank x OC

Pt 1 - Welcome to the outer banks

We're the Pogues, and our mission this summer is to have a good time all the time.

The sun was shining down on the Pogues as they lounged on the decking of a half-built mansion. The light breeze blew Emma's hair back as she stood on the balcony, looking out over the sea ahead of them. Pope was standing on the decking below her, looking at some tools which had been left at the construction site by the unsuspecting builders. JJ sat on scaffolding to the right of Emma, drinking his beer, looking at the girl every once in a while. John B, Emma's twin brother, stood above her, on the roof, hanging his foot over the edge. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, taking in the scent of the salty air, when she felt drops landing on her face.

"Would you mind not pouring your drink on me, B?" Emma stated, looking up at the boy whose attention didn't waver to the girl.

"Sorry, Em, I missed my mouth" John B replied, a small smirk showing on his face

"'Course you did" Emma replied, looking back to the ocean, only to notice the blonde on her right looking at her. "What ya looking at, blondie?" She asked the boy, causing the blonde to smirk, his blue eyes did not stray from her own. He didn't answer her, only looked her up and down before winking

"That's what, a three-story fall to the deck?" Pope questioned rhetorically, waving around an electric drill and looking up to John B. "I give you a one-in-three chance of survival"

"Hm. should I do it?" John B asked, looking down to his sister below him

"Yeah, then I'll get the château to myself" Emma replied, earning a scoff from her brother

"Yeah, jump, I'll shoot you on the way down" Pope replied, holding the drill like a gun, pretending to shoot John B.

"You'll shoot me?" The brunette asked in mock hurt, pointing to himself.

"Yep"

"They're gonna have Japanese toilets with towel warmers" Kie stated, walking out of the unbuilt house with a look of disgust written on her face.

"Of course, why wouldn't they?" Emma replied sarcastically, forming a frown on her own face as well

"This used to be a turtle habitat, but who cares about the turtles, I guess" Kie stated, her voice growing.

"I can't have cold towels" JJ said sarcastically, causing Emma to scoff and Kiara to roll her eyes, noticing the boy on the roof.

"Can you please not kill yourself?" Kie said

"Don't spill that beer, I'm not giving you another one" JJ said seriously, ignoring what Kie had said seconds prior

"Honestly I think you care more about beer than you do us sometimes" Emma mumbled. The blonde smirked at her comment turning his head to fully face her

"Don't worry baby, you'll always be my number one" Emma rolled her eyes at the boys flirty comment, jumping down onto the scaffolding the boy was sitting on, when a beer can hit the spot she was previously

"Woah, oh shit" John B said to himself, looking down on his un-drunk beer now pouring out onto the floor.

"Of course you did, like right when I told you not too" JJ said, shaking his head

"Smooth" Pope laughed

"Dumbass" said Kie as she rolled her eyes.

Emma looked up to the brunette on the roof, "You're lucky I moved, otherwise that would've hit me, you idiot" she laughed, looking down at the blonde sitting next to her

"It's okay, I would've given you mouth to mouth" JJ winked up the the girl

Emma smirked and bent down towards the blonde who raised an eyebrow. She leant towards him, her lips brushing against his ear, "in your dreams, pretty boy" she whispered, sending chills down his spine

"say that again" he said, taking a deep breath and looking the girl in the eyes

JJ and Emma have always had a very flirty relationship. You see, the moment they met, they instantly clicked, only for them to grow closer, and their feelings to grow deeper, as they grew up. Neither of them realised yet how much they loved each other, although it was obvious to everyone else.

"Hey, uh, security's here" Pope exclaimed, leaning over the fence of the decking to look down the side of the house, "Let's wrap it up"

"Boys are early today" John B said, sliding down the roof and jumping onto the scaffolding with Emma and JJ

"Maybe next time" Emma said to the blonde as she stood up and winked at the boy, swinging herself down, off of the scaffolding. Leaving JJ smirking at her.

"Humpty dumpty, let's roll" JJ said as he too jumped down, after the girl, and running into the house with his friends.

"Yeah, let's go boys" Kie shouted as the group ran through the empty house, all shouting and laughing as they ran from the officers. "And girl" she smirked, running next to Emma, who laughed with her best friend.

"Gary, is that you?" JJ exclaimed as they ran down the stairs, "Garry, it's me. Good to see you man!"

"You're asking for it man" said John B as he ran past the boy and next to his sister.

"JJ" Gary shouted, as the teens were running away

"Wooo" Kie shouted

"Yeah" Emma exclaimed excitedly, jumping over a stool, a stool which JJ did not see and ran straight into it, tripping himself over. The teens ran through the house, laughing loudly at the clumsy blonde who dragged himself off the floor as a security guard ran around the corner.

"Hey, stop. Get 'em! They're coming' your way!" Gary shouted as he reached to grab JJ. Who just managed to slip out of his grip,

JJ turned to the guard saying "not much of a hugger" before turning around and sprinting to join his friends jumping the fence.

"They're going out the front" Emma heard a guard say as her feet landed on the other side of the fence, Pope not landing quite as elegantly and falling straight onto his face.

"Go Pope! Go, go, go, go, go!" JJ shouted as he pulled Pope up to his feet, laughing at his friend. "Fatso's coming"

"Come here you little pricks" the guard shouted as they left him the other side of the fence.

John B pulled up in the Twinkie, their caravan, driving just ahead of the running teenagers, causing Emma to become confused as to how he got it so fast.

"Bus is leaving!" He shouted, honking the horn at his friends.

"Come on guys, woo!" shouted Kie as she jumped into the Twinkie and extended her hand to Emma, pulling her into the van. Closely followed by Pope and JJ, the latter falling over, on top of Emma.

"Why, hello there" the blonde said to the girl beneath him. Laughing, Emma rolled her eyes and shoved the boy off of her, getting up and poking her head out the door of the van next to Kie.

"Check out Gary, gunnin' for a raise!" JJ said, appearing next to the girl.

"Come on Gary!" Emma shouted, tormenting the man who was running along next to them.

"Slow down you little pricks" he said back, causing a ripple of laughter to come from the teens. JJ grabbed a beer and held it out for him.

"Guys stop, you're gonna give him a heart attack" Kie said, laughing at the scene unfolding in front of her.

"You're so close, you can do it!" Emma shouted back out to the officer.

JJ, throwing the beer to the guard, shouted "there you go!" laughing as the can hit the guard on the head. "They don't pay you enough, bro!" he said as Kie pulled both teens back into the van,

"Stop, stop" she laughed, closing the door after them.

"Oh, come on, that sort of initiative is just begging to be punished" JJ said as he sat next to Emma on the floor, laughing as the van pulled away.
