JOHN B GRABBED Amelia and covered her with his body. JJ watched Amelia, fearing for her safety.


As Amelia was hidden under John B, she noticed a fishing net.

"Kie!" She shouted. Kiara followed her eyes and nodded at her, passing her fishing net. Amelia took it and stood up straight, walking towards the edge.

"Amelia, get down!" John shouts concerned 

"Do you want to die?!" JJ asked

At that moment, Amelia threw the fishing net into the water, and it got caught in the engine of the other boat. Amelia had saved them.

Relief flooded the bodies of the Pogues as they lost the boat.

"Holy shit", Amelia laughed.

"Pogue style baby!" Kie laughed

"Whoo!" John b cheered 

"That was insane!" Amelia laughed 

JJ walked over to Amelia and touched her arm "You alright?"

"Of course. Are you?" Amelia smiled 

"Yeah-Yeah. I was just worried," JJ admitted 

"Well, thank you for caring", Amelia said as she blushed.

"Anytime, princess" JJ smiled.

THE POGUES AND Amelia made their way back to shore and made their way to the dock to open the bag
"What do you guys think it is?" Kie asked

"Gotta be money, right?" John b answered 

"That or a couple of keys with street value to the low-to mid-mil!" JJ joked

"Can we please just open the bag?" Pope asked quickly

"Wow. That's a rare outburst of emotion," John b stated

"Okay. You guys are killing me with anticipation- Open the bag," Pope said

"Jeez", JJ commented. 

"We almost died over this," Pope said

John B opened the silver canister inside of the duffle bag. Inside the canister was an old compass.

"Oh wow. Yup, that's about right. Good job, everybody. We found a compass," Pope said sarcastically. 

"Dude, what? It's not worth anything?" JJ asked, noticing the look on his best friend's face
"John B. What is it?" Amelia asked softly, crouching down next to him

"This was my father", John b said in a hushed tone.

The crew exchanged looks of disbelief, but nobody commented as they walked up to the chateau. John B went into his room as they entered the chateau.

"What's the story about his dad?" Amelia whispered

"Nothing," Pope said "Yeah", JJ added on

"Guys-" Kie sighed

"No, it's okay. I overstepped. Look, I should get going anyway. But I'll see you guys later," Amelia smiles.

Amelia grabbed her bag and walked out of the house but stopped when she heard footsteps behind her.

"I'm sorry about them," Kie said

"No, don't be", Amelia smiled.

"It's just- we don't know if JB wants you to know, you're still kinda new, is all", Kie explained.

"Kie. It's fine; I haven't exactly shared my life with you guys. Don't worry about it," Amelia smiled.

"I'll see you later?" Kie asked

"Of course. Look after JB for me," Amelia asked.

"We will," Kie said as Amelia walked away.

WHEN AMELIA OPENED the door to her house, she went upstairs into her room and placed her bag down

"Where'd you go?" Sarah asked

Amelia jumped and turned around, placing a hand on her chest "God S", she gasped "Don't sneak up on me" She chuckled.

"A- where were you?" Sarah asked with a serious tone

"With-" Amelia started

"Kiara and her friends?" Sarah finished

"If you knew, why did you ask?" Amelia questioned, crossing her arms

"Look. I just don't want you to get sucked into their world," Sarah said

"Their world?" Amelia mocked

"Yeah. Their world. Danger!" Sarah explained

"I'm sorry, where is this coming from? And- and who are you to tell me who I can or can not hang out with, and since when could you tell me?" Amelia asked annoyed

"Since you keep leaving and you're being secretive. Since JJ held a gun to my boyfriend's head," Sarah exclaimed

"I'm sorry. I thought we both agreed that Topper deserved that," Amelia said

"Then you thought wrong" Sarah shrugged.

"Where is this coming from?" Amelia asked

"This is coming from me feeling hurt that you're hanging out with Kiara again!" Sarah said 

"Is that what this is about? The fact that I'm hanging out with Kie again? She doesn't have a problem with me, S! I didn't hurt her like you did!" Amelia shouted

"It was one party!" Sarah defended

"You invited everyone but her. You invited people we both hate." Amelia scoffed "You invited, Presley Wilkins, for fucks sake!" Amelia said in disbelief

Sarah didn't say anything; she knew what she did was wrong.

"It's not my fault that you two aren't talking," Amelia said in a low voice.

"So you're choosing her over me?" Sarah scoffed

"Are you- I'm not choosing anyone! Don't you get that? She was my best friend too, and I lost her because of what you did! You know what? Get out," Amelia said with a roll of her eyes as she opened her door. 


Sarah rolled her eyes and walked out.
