Jj's POV
I ride my skateboard over to the ambulance that was parked on the side of the road I stop and walk over to it "yo!"I put up a peace sign looking at my cousin working on something I walk over to him "listen man all you gotta do is leave the ambulance running it's a small favor to ask Ricky, just a small one"he looks at me before grabbing his screw driver "it's not as much about the favor as the general stupidity of the plan"he tells me "come on. Just leave the ambulance running, running Ricky. You gotta do this for me bro."I try to convince him"you're gonna wind up in jail cuz."he says putting down his tools "I'm mean, that's gonna happen anyway,G, eventually might as well be for a good cause"I say with a laugh "yeah well Im not gonna be apart of it you've come up with a lot of dumb ideas but,uh, this might be the dumbest"he walks to the other side of his porch I click my tongue following him "I wouldn't be asking you to do this if it wasn't important,and let me remind you, you owe me man.who ran that load up to cape fear when your hemp in hot?"I asks him "me, all right?"I tell him "I'm sorry about you bud and girl bro I tell am but"I take my hat off "Ricky!"I say out loud"but I'm not helping you commit suicide. Sorry now leave me alone I gotta focus I'm working an overnight later so if you're cool"he says looking up at me "no,yeah. I'm cool"I tell him "yeah?

Cj's POV
"Dinner time"one of the sheriff hands me dinner through my cell compartment"thanks"I say walking to the bed I look to see mushy stuff that looks like mashed potatoes and chicken I push it aside laying on the hard bed trying to get so sleep after a few hours I still am not able to sleep I haven't been able to sleep since I got here I only get like about 1 to 3 hours of sleep but I guess that's better than nothing I look up at the Ceiling I haven't see johny in a couple days and all this court stuff is giving my anxiety first John b gets the death penalty and I might be in the same position as him I let out a soft sob all I want is jj I want him to hold me I miss his touch, I miss talking to him, I miss his kisses too I just want everything to go back to the way it was
