Night had fallen and Esme was honestly having the time of her life. Everyone was getting extremely drunk or extremely high except for Esme who was simply damaging her lungs with cigarettes.
"I saved everyone's asses! Thank you Esme!" She cheered.
"Thank you Esme!" Everyone else yelled before chugging down their beer.
"I never made good grades in school. When I get out, I act like a fool. They say I come in the party and cause a commotion, I'm smooth, yeah, call me lotion." Pope rapped causing Esme to burst out into laughter. She had never laughed so much in a long time. But now that John B and Sarah were back, hopefully things could go back to normal.
Jj and Pope were trying to see who could push each other down first and it looked like fun so Esme wanted in on it.
"Come on amor, scared to get your ass beat by a girl?" She teased causing everyone to 'oooo' in the background. Pope let out a laugh and the match was now on. Esme managed to take down Pope first try, but Pope managed to pick her up bridal style and take her down.
"You cheater!" She yelled before playfully shoving him back.
"What do you mean? I won fair and square!"
"All right, I'm out." Pope had walked off and Esme's jaw dropped, before running off to follow him.
"Seriously? When did they get so lovey dovey?" John B questioned.
"It got worse when Esme went to juvie." Jj replied taking a hit of his blunt.
"Esme went to juvie?" Sarah exclaimed.
"Long story."
Meanwhile with Esme and Pope, the girl found Pope sitting on the break staring at the water.
"Hey love." She whispered moving to sit beside him. Pope smiled and wrapped an arm around the girl, pulling her closer and pressing a kiss to her forehead.
"You feeling ok?" Esme asked with a slight frown.
"Of course. Are you feeling ok?"
"Y-Yeah, totally." She replied, letting out a nervous laugh. In reality she wasn't feeling all that great. Esme's anxiety was consuming her, bringing up the fact Esme may have to go into the foster care system. Her dad was in prison, and her two legal guardians weren't even around anymore. It was only a matter of time before DCS came knocking on her door claiming she was now a part of the system that was supposed to be for the kids but was actually against them.
"You do know I'm your boyfriend right? That means I know you better then yourself. And that you can talk to me if somethings bothering you." Pope assured rubbing her back. Esme nodded and stared straight ahead.
"I'm starting to come to terms with the fact shit really can hit the fan tomorrow. Pope, the cops are searching the whole island for John B, a-and it's not long before they come after me too. I mean, I'm a minor living with no adult supervision. I'm gonna be a foster kid. Oh my god."
