Finally! Finally, they returned the gold and the cross to themselves. They divided it among everyone and started a new life.
One day there was a party at the restaurant where Kiara's parents work. Pogues were separated. John B and Sarah were dancing discussing about their future.
John B to Sarah: Now we have a lot of money.
Sarah smiled.
John B: Where would you want to go?
Sarah: It does not matter,main thing is to go with you.
JohnB smiled in response.
JohnB: Then we'll arrange a round-the-world trip,baby.
She smiled and kissed him.
During all this time, Pope and Cleo became much closer, began to spend time together more often. At the party, Kiara met a guy named Simon. He was a kook. He asked her to dance and she agreed. Meanwhile JJ sat almost in the last rows and watched Kiara drinking beer. He looked at her and understood that she looked happy...with that guy...
Later Pope approached JJ..
Pope to him: Heyy, how are you man?
JJ: I'm fine(drinking beer) And you? How are you doing with Cleo?(smiled)
Pope: Well, it seems like we like each other,but I'm not sure. I mean I definitely like her,but I don't know if she like me,you know..
JJ: She definitely likes you too,dude. It's visible (smiled ).
Pope smiled and noticed JJ was looking at Kie.
Pope: Oh man,I'm sorry...
JJ: For what?(drinking beer)
Pope: Come on, like I can't see who you've been looking at all evening.
JJ looked down to try to hide his emotions.
Pope: You haven't talked to her yet?
JJ(smiled awkwardly): And what will it change, she doesn't need me, it's obvious,dude...(still looking at her dancing with Simon)
pause...
JJ: It's okay,Pope.I'm fine. I promise.(made a forced smile) I want to leave this island and start a new life in another place.
Pope: Where??
JJ: I don't know,but world is calling,so..
Now a lot of money, nothing to worry about.(Looked at Pope and smiled).
Pope: Won't you regret?(He meant Kie)
JJ: And what keeps me here,man?(nodded his shoulders drinking beer)
JJ: Okay,go to Cleo,dude. She's waiting for you.
Pope: see you later.
Then JJ went to the pier to smoke.
