"Crackers, baked beans, and tuna, all right? And some sat and pepper!" Luke called as they pulled up at the little store. JJ hopped out. Pope looked back at a sulking Rio, glaring over at Luke and sat as far away from him.
"Got it." JJ hoped out, taking a look back at Rio and Pope. "You two okay here?"
"We're good." Pope nodded, glancing back at Rio.
"Here." Rio leaned out the window to give him some money. "Get me a coke."
"Will do." he nodded, taking the twenty from her hands, knowing she gave it to him to pay for his Dads things and not genuinely caring about the coke.
Luke looked over at her when she leaned back into the car, Rio glared. "What the hell are you looking at?"
"Never seen you before." he pointed out with a half smirk.
"She's not from here." Pope cut in. "Don't talk to her."
"I'm just making conversations." Luke defended himself.
"Well, don't." Pope said in return.
"Yeah, don't." Rio agreed.
"Aw, Pope." Luke spoke, leaning forward some. "Can't believe you've stuck around my son this long."
"He's my best friend." Pope rolled his eyes. "I love him. Unlike you."
"He's a thief." Luke corrected him.
"Probably because he has to be." Rio rolled her eyes. "Because he doesn't have a father to step up and be more then a waste of space in his life."
"Damn!" Luke laughed. "Tell me how you really feel."
He was cut off by her fist colliding with his jaw, Luke hit his head on the other window. Pope turned back with wide eyes, staring. Rio shook her head as Luke meet her eye. "That's how I really feel."
"Hey." JJ jogged toward the truck, passing the twelve pack to Luke.
"Let's just get this over with." Pope agreed when JJ got back into the truck, glancing back weary at his Dads bloody nose and Rio glaring out the window.
"I love that boy." Rio watched JJ lead his Dad toward one of the boats. "This is the dude that ruined everything for him and he's still helping him. He's the best person i've ever known."
"I know." Pope agreed as they watched him disappear onto the boat, helping set up. "Some nights were really hard on him. That's why he stays at John B's so much, got his own room."
"Yet was willing to give it to me when I got that stupid concussion." she smiled slightly, holding Popes shoulder. "I don't think I wanna leave you guys."
Pope turned his head to look at her. "What do you mean?"
"Like, when we get your cross and everyone gets rich and famous." Rio explained dramatically as Pope smiled at her. "I don't want to get left behind and have to leave you guys."
