John B drives us out to where he is meeting Sarah. Apparently she is waiting for him at the top of the Hawk's nest. John B parks the car and we all start to get out, until John B stops us.

"Hit it, boys! We're goin'. Recon mission." JJ exclaims.

"Yo, uh.. so, uh, I think I'm gonna do this one by myself... tonight." John B states.

We all immediately sit down. I drop my shoulders slightly while sighing.

"Really?"

"What?"

"Nothin', Brother."

"Look, I just don't wanna spook Sarah with a peanut gallery." John B comments.

"I just don't understand why we're involving her at all." I butt in angrily.

"Y/n, we're not involving her, okay?" John B exclaims. I furrow my eyebrows at him, not having a clue of what he's saying. "It's.. just, uh, like a business meeting... thing." I look over to JJ who is impersonating a blow job. I roll my eyes slightly before turning back to John B. "Look, once we get what we need, we cut her loose, all right? Plus, we need the map."

"Okay... just promise me nothing's happening between you two." I respond.

"Nothing is happening, Y/n/n." John B replies sarcastically.

"I'm being serious, John B." I speak sternly.

"Okay!" John B answers.

"This isn't about you, and this isn't about us. This is about her." I continue. "She's gonna get inside your head. Just promise me nothing's happening between you guys."

"I promise." John B answers, not sounding completely sure.

"That was really believable." JJ comments.

"A hundred percent believable." Pope adds in.

"Most believable thing ever." Kie jokes.

"Anyways, um... I'm gonna take care of business." John B continues.

"You're gonna take care of that business so well." JJ responds.

"We'll just here in the hot ass car. While it's lightning." Pope mentions.

"Yep. Yep." John B replies as he gets out of the car. He grabs his backpack and closes the car door. I look out the window and see him walking away.

"Y/n, holding onto your grudge is like drinking poison and thinking Sarah will die." Pope states.

"Exactly." Kie mumbles.

"I don't care, Guys." I comment. I ignore my friends and stare out the window angrily.
===================================
- THIRD PERSON POV -
Sarah and John B start kissing in the Hawks nest. Topper steps up behind them, his eyes red and puffy.

"I knew it, Sarah. I knew you were lying to me." Topper speaks.

John B and Sarah immediately pull away from each other and look to the voice.

"Topper!" Sarah exclaims.

"You're a stupid, lying whore. You know that?" Topper states.

"So first I'm a prude and now I'm a whore?" Sarah replies with an angered tone.

"Yeah, you are." Topper nods.

"Topper, stop, Man." John B interrupts, pushing Topper a little.

"You stop, Man! You don't wanna do this right now." Topper raises his voice and starts shoving John B back. "Tell him to back off, cause I'm about to beat your fucking ass."
