Slowly pulling up to the motel on the pogue, the five of them analysed the run down building. JJ whistled ''I thought the chateau looked bad''

Bella looked up at him from her spot on the floor and spoke ''Really got their work cut out for them over here''

''This place is a shitshow''

''Motel or meth lab?'' Kiara asked. ''You be the judge'' Pope replied.

''Doesn't look like a place somebody with a Grady-White stays'' John B observed.

Pope shook hos head in agreement ''No, looks like a place somebody with a Grady-White would get killed''

Then JJ started with the mimicking of a communicator on his shirt again ''This is your captain speaking, HMS Pogue comin' in for landing'' jumping off the boat and tying it off to keep it in place.

''Ok we good?'' ''Yeah we good'' John B and JJ quickly communicated.

Bella jumped off the boat and walked towards JJ as he held the girls arms to keep her still to look at her face. ''Yeah, that's not looking too great, we need to get those cuts cleaned up pretty soon'' he spoke quietly and close to her face so only she could hear him.

''I'll be fine, it stopped bleeding after I jumped in the marsh earlier, it's all good'' she reassured him, making eye contact, his expression still being concerned and not one bit convinced.

John B took another look at the motel ''Alright here goes nothing''

Pope quickly chirped in ''Hey'' after being acknowledged by John B he carried on ''Don't let them do anything stupid'' He said pointing over at JJ and Bella who were too busy cutely looking at each other to notice.

''I'm not making promises'' John B shrugged, knowing that he himself could be stupid sometimes too.

Kiara looked up at him ''Uh, be careful'' giving him the key ''I mean it''

Bella pretend gagged and walked off dragging JJ with her by his wrist ''I just shivered from the awkwardness'' he laughed, agreeing with her.

John B caught up to them, asking ''Why are all these mattresses out here?''

JJ knowingly answered ''After a hurricane they ditch em' cause they're mouldy''

When they reached the top of the stairs, Bella was walking next to her brother when JJ grabbed him and mockingly said ''Just be so careful John'' as the brunette boy shook away from his grip telling him that he's weird.

''What the heck was that about?'' JJ pestered.

John B clearly not taking any visible hints that are being thrown at him said ''I don't know? Maybe she wants us to be careful''

Bella chimed in, raising her finger in the air as if she was at school seeking permission to ask a question ''No, she definitely just wants you to be careful. She didn't even bat an eyelid at either of us'' pointing between herself and the blonde.

JJ nodded his head in agreement ''Since she heard you're being threatened with exile, she's just been like, oh, be so careful John B, just give me that John D already'' he mocked, jokingly massaging John B's shoulders. ''When are you gonna swoop on that man''

Bella scoffed at the way the boy had worded that and walked off in front as John B answered JJ's question ''Bro, you know the rule. No pogue-on-pogue macking. Besides you're always the one that's hitting on her''

''Of course I'm hitting on her. She's a super-hot, rich, hippie chick slumming it with us'' JJ says as if it's obvious, which it is, Bella had a crush on her at one point, they all had ''Why? I can't even figure it out, but who cares bro. I know that door's locked cause I tried it, have you?''

Bella felt a pang of jealousy but extremely confused as to why she felt that way, she just brushed it off. John B pointed at JJ ''You need help. Not like a little bit of help, like a lot of help. It's like every girl who just has a heartbeat you're like Uhhh''

''What? It's not a big deal'' He said back, making the girl roll her eyes because it's a big deal to her, and she didn't understand why.

Finally reaching the door, Bella grabbed the key about to unlock it and both boys gripped onto Bella's biceps to stop her from doing do ''What are you doing? Let go'' she whisper-shouted.

JJ stepped forward and lightly knocked on the door with his free hand and with what was an attempt of a feminine voice he said ''Housekeeping'' Bella chuckling at how high pitched his voice could go.

John B looked over his sisters head to get a look at his best friend ''Should we try it?''

The blonde quickly scanned their surroundings ''No power, no security cameras, no one's gonna know''

Bella shook them both off her ''Well that was my plan until you both rudely interrupted'' as she put in the key and unlocked the door.
