Baby {JJ Maybank}

16.

It had been a minute a the four of them had managed their way into a small hide out. Josie sitting on JJs lap while he played with her hair while Pope paced.

An airplane engine was heard by the squad causing all to look up and watch the plane take off.

"There goes the gold." Pope muttered "SHIT! FUCK!"

Josie jumped slightly at his outburst still in a fragile state from the panic attack that happened not long ago. Her brother was still missing and she had honestly convinced herself that he had taken one of those last gunshots she didn't see.

"Pope!" Kie yelled back trying to get a hold of him

"GOD DAMN IT! SHIT! FUCK! SHIT! DAMMIT!" Pope just kept spilling the language off his tongue while kicking things around the shed they were hiding in.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The scream and sound of chairs colliding filled the small area while he let out all of his anger.

"Pope!" Kie tried again

He kept yelling as Kie yelled his name one more time. He finally stopped and bent over with his hands on his knees hyperventilating.

"Hold on baby," JJ said into Josie's ear while kissing the side of her head. He picked her up and moved her off of his lap so he could stand.

"Yeah, dude. I was wondering when this was gonna happen." JJ stated standing up and walking over to him. He placed his arm on his shoulder handing up his pen. "Here you go, chief. A little weed never hurt no one."

"JJ" Kie said sternly.

"Relax, Kie." Josie popped in from her spot on the ground.

"Yall know he doesn't smoke" Kie announced to the pair.

"Well, maybe not until today" JJ smiled waving it infront of his face.

Kie shifted her focus off the two weeders and onto the victim "Pope..."

"Yeah, what is that gonna help?" Pope questioned. "I lost my scholarship. Walked out in the middle of the interview. Ever- it's gone. It's not gonna happen."

"You did what?" Josie asked finally standing up

"You did that for us?" Kie added

"No, not for us. For nothing." Pope admitted.

"I'm here for you,Pope. Welcome to my world,okay?" JJ said still tempting the weed pen.

"JJ-" Kie started but was quickly cut off.

"What, Kie? he's right. It doesn't matter anymore." JJ agreed taking a long pull of the pen himself. Josie had managed her way beside JJ and when he turned to blow the air out she turned her head away from the crew. They remained talking while Josie watched the grass sway beside the wall of the hideout. Her head rested against JJs bicep while she wrapped one arm around it and held his hand with her other.

Without saying anything she lifted her head and let go of the blond boy before sprinting towards the grass where she could now see her brother come through.

"Josie?"

"Baby what is it?"

Everyone spun to see her and the other twin collapse on the ground in a hug while tears streamed down both faces.
