And slowly walk over "wait,wait,wait what was that"John b ask cutting jj off Cj stands up grabbing jj's hand "your chicken?"jj suggest trying to ease the tension

"I heard a car door."John b tells them looking towards his dad's old shed jj starts to cluck lik a chicken he sees Ciara smile for just a second but stops when John b covers his mouth as rafe and Barry get closer the squat a little trying to make the least amount for f noise as possible

"okay. Check it.okay"rafe they stop seeing the fairy lights but nobody there "all right, I ain't see shit. How about you?"Barry asks rafe "no they can't be far though."rafe tells him "right, here's what we gonna do I'm gonna go inside I'm gonna flush them out if they're in there I want you to flank left, meet me out by the porch let's go"Barry says in a low voice walking towards the house

  rafe goes left towards the hot tub while Barry goes Inside he stops by the stairs as he hears chickens clucking before walking inside rafe wipes his nose searching for them by the tree he walk over to see smoke he looks and sees a fire that was just put out he grips the gun "where the hell are you?"he asks turning around rolling his neck John b, JJ,Sarah,and Cj look down as they were in the tree right above him Cj hold on tightly to tree as she was on branch above them

Sarah looks at jj and John b worriedly before looking up at Cj seeing here closing her eyes Sarah points to her causing jj to look up muttering cuss word wishing she had listened to him about not going that far up 

Pope's pov
"Here's another one"I say placing another piece of wood into the fire as Kiara sits on a log with her legs crossed I sit down next to her taking a sip of my beer "did you know they got married?"she asks me with a grin "who? Cj and JJ?"I ask

"John b a Sarah."she tells me "nah"I shake my head no "why would I lie about that?"she say with a laugh "because why would they get married? It's,like, illogical."I state "because it's fun! He really didn't tell you?"she asks "no he didn't tell. What did you guys talk about?"she says smiling

"everything but that. Taking the right turn at the jetty. I don't know, just..."she chugs the rest of her beer "hmm"chuckling "it was a lot of screaming "she starts giggling "remember.."she bumps my shoulder and starts buzzing "top five weirdest moments of my life for sure."I tell her "were you scared?"she asks me

"I don't know just...I still don't understand why limbrey thinks I would have whatever she wants. It's like...why me?"I tell her "why not you?"she says shrugging I look at her before we both lean in "Kie?"I ask her "yeah"she says "are you worried that, you know if we do this it's gonna mess up our friendship?"I question

"um... I'm not really thinking about that right now."she tells me "I just wanna make sure if we go through with this, we'll stillwater be--"she cuts me off placing her finger on my lips "sh."she removes it we both lean towards and kiss she wraps he hand around my neck as we fall into the sand
Jj's POV
We look towards John B's house to hear glass breaking "yo!"we see Barry come outside walking over to rafe "anything?"rafe asks "no, ain't shit in here bro."Barry informs him "no? Nothing?"rafe says again "no, nothing, rafe."Barry says getting more annoyed then he already was "they were obviously Just here based off the smoke."rafe points out frustrated "yeah,yeah,yeah. Great observation,boy scout."Barry remarks

"they're not far, you know?" "Smokey the bear! Look at you,bro!"Barry tells out I see Sarah look and John b I look to see cj still with her eyes closed "they gotta be around here somewhere"rafe tries to convince he looks at the tree seeing the memorial for Sarah, Cj and John b

"P4L"Barry reads rafe laughs while pointing at it "well shit" he says "so your sister's a pouge for life, huh, rafe?who would have thought?"Barry says teasingly John b looks at Sarah to see her already looking at him finally cj opens her eyes

Cj's POV
I finally build up enough courage to open my eyes before looking at how high I'm up I look down to see jj staring at me I feel my breathing pick up I look at him trying to control my breathing I see he was about to climb up but I shake my head no I start fiddling my fingers trying to distract myself but it only worked for a minute before rafe yells

"shit!"before shooting the tree we all flinch but I see a bullet fly towards jj he bends back but I instantly think the worst I feel tears run down my face and my breathing slowly came back again but this time it was different from all my other ones everything was going in slow motion and I could here Barry's voice

"hey!whoa!.chill,bro rafe! Chill out bro you're gonna get our asses busted,dawg let's bounce
Let's go! "he yells pushing rafe towards his car  I look to see my hand shaking by now Im fully hyperventilating and I don't have my inhaler I feel myself about to fall causing me to hold on tighter I whimper quietly when we see they're gone a I let out a cry and a gasp for air

Jj's POV
When they leave I look to see a bullet in the tree branch I was on it missed my head by a centimeter I hear a gasp seeing Cj having a panic attack "shit baby!"I say climbing up to her once I get up there

I pull her inhaler out of my pocket and give it to her when she took a puff she was still breathing heavy and her hands were shaking "cupcake hey,hey look at me"I say lightly tapping her cheek "I need you to wrap you arms and legs around me ok"she just breaths heavier

"deep breaths baby"she nods wrapping her arms and legs around me I start to climb down when we get down I walk into the house closing.the bathroom door and locking it behind us "Ciara I need you to focus on me ok love?"I place her on the counter "remember when you chased that dog for your dino teddy"I ask her I hear her let out a breathy laugh

"or when you dared me to jump off that cliff butt naked?"she nods I hear her breathing finally get back to Normal I kiss her head and let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding "you ok angel?"I ask her she nods "thanks Jay"she mumbles "of course love I hate to see you like that"I tell her she hops down looking at herself "I look a mess right now"she says looking at her face and hair "I think you look beautiful"I pull the side of her bikini she faces me and pulls me into a kiss "I need to go change"I nod as she walks to through the trashed house into the bedroom closing the door behind her I sigh walking back to John b and sarah
