Lost Pogue [j.m]

seven

I sat against the storage bit of the boat while JJ was on top of it. As soon as we all got on the boat John B started the boat very quickly and then left. It was a little quiet for like 10 minutes when JJ and I got on. Finally, JJ speaks up.

"Well, that was fun," JJ says, "you could have warned us a little sooner."

"Yeah, then we wouldn't have to rush out of there." I say but I only received a glare from Kie.

"We would have, expect Pope was on the math team." Kie replies looking between JJ and I

"You were on the math team?" JJ questions

"The cops took everything like it was a crime scene." John says as JJ sits up

"Did you find anything?" Pope says looking between JJ and I. Me and JJ gave each other a look, knowing we did find something. Cash and a gun.

"Did we find anything? No. I don't think so," JJ says as he pulls out the cash and the gun, while I pull out the cash from my pocket, "oh, yeah, we did." JJ gave me a wink, I flap the money Pope quickly gets up and walked over to us

"What the hell?" Pope says in shock

"Dude, what?" Kie says, JJ and I gets up and walks to Pope

"Dude, chill. Come on." JJ says as I grab Pope's shoulder but he quickly backs up

"Why take that from a crime scene?" Pope asks, I can tell he was freaking out

"Well, it's better than the cops having it." JJ says

"Yeah, exactly." I say agreeing with JJ, John B laughs as he enjoying the amusement

"Are you serious?" Kie says

"I'm gonna lose my merit scholarship." Pope says panicking

"Hey, sh, sh, sh." JJ says as he pulls Pope towards him, "at lease you have us, right?" Pope pushes JJ a little

"I'm living the nightmare." Pope says as he sits back down, JJ and I look at each other which cause us to burst out of laughter.

"Can you two shut the hell up?" Kie says harshly

"Someone's mad." I whisper to JJ but it was loud enough for her to hear. JJ chuckles while Kie rolls her eyes.

We got to the dock, as we get out we noticed a body being taken away with a lady crying over him. We sit on this bench, well whatever you call it. I sat on the edge so JJ was standing leaning against the pole while John B was next to me. A girl was sitting with us as well, on her phone.

"Who's that?" John B asks her, she looks up at us

"It's Scooter Grubbs. He was out during the storm," she replies, she pulls her phone up, "check out this pic I got." We all looked at her phone, it was a picture of Scooter laying in the water. He was grey with his eyes wide open. I instantly gag, which didn't help at all because it just made me feel sick. I hate seeing dead bodies, especially after a few days. Now that I've seen it, I can't seem to get the image out of my head. I quickly got up.

"I'm sorry, I can't." I say and quickly walked away. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. I reach the bathroom, and quickly went into a cubicle. I lifted the toilet seat up and emptied it out. Great, I hate being sick. I feel my hands starting to shake and my breathing felt faster. I put my knees up to my chest and put my head in my hands. I heard the bathroom door opened then my cubicle door opened as well. The next thing I felt was arms around me. I shoved the arms of me, because I don't like being touched once I've been sick and I knew it was Kie.
