We all drove back to John B's house to talk about what we're gonna do with the Crain house. But for some reason, John B went out to do something 'important'. I don't know what it is but he better be back soon, we don't have all day.

JJ, Pope, Kie and I all sit on the porch, waiting for John B to come back. He finally arrives home, but with my worst nightmare.

Sarah.

"No effing way!" I shout, while Sarah and John B walk up to the porch. They both sit down next to each other on one of the couches, while the boys and Kiara are on another one. I stand up, leaning against the rail in front of them all. "You brought her here? So what? She's in on this now?"

John B doesn't say anything and instead looks over to the others.

"I dunno." Pope shrugs his shoulders. Kie does the same.

"Look, all I care about is her cut comes out of your share." JJ points to Sarah then John B.

"You know, I don't remember taking a vote." I interrupt.

"She does have a point, John B. This is our thing." Kie butts in.

"A Pogue thing!"

"I gotta say, I'm just a tad uncomfortable with all of this." Pope comments in.

"Thank you!" I exclaim.

"When are you not uncomfortable?" John B questions.

"Well, I dunno. I rode here on the back of JJ's bike pretty comfortably." Pope responds with attitude.

"It's true. Most relaxed I've ever seen him." JJ adds in.

"That's cute, Guys." John B mumbles then rolls his eyes.

"You know we were all extremely comfortable until you brought her." I sass.

"Stop talking about me like I'm not here!" Sarah speaks up.

"Then leave."

Sarah scoffs then looks over to John B.

"I told you."

"Told him what, exactly? That you're a liar?" I question.

"No, that you're a shit-talking bitch!" Sarah snaps back at me.

"Oh, yeah?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"At least you didn't do to me what you do to everyone else." I continue.

"I didn't lie about shit!" Sarah yells.

Sarah and I continue arguing over the top of each other.

"Everybody, shut up!"

Everyone goes quiet. I roll my eyes slightly and turn to John B who stopped us from arguing.

"Y/n, you are my best friend, right?" John B asks. I nod my head slightly, wondering what his point is. "And Sarah, you're..." John B chuckles to himself for a moment. My eyebrows instantly furrow. "...you're my..."

"Say it." Sarah whispers.

"You're my girlfriend." John B smiles.
