One with the Pogues [jj x reader]

30. Anniversary Party

We get back to the OBX.
"What's the game plan?"
"Get the girls, find Pope and Cleo, get down to South America as soon as possible. Cool?"
"Seems a bit vague, I gotta say, John B. Also, I don't got a passport, dog."
"Hey, look, don't bore me with the details, alright?"
"We'll figure that out later." I say.

"Okay, gonna get Sarah. Gonna get Kie, little rendezvous mission. Back on the boat, get out of here."
"The other day, Mike and I kinda got into a little bit of a tiff, alright? And if I go over there right now and Mike sees me, he's not gonna let Kiara out of his sight, boom. Mission blown, we can't go down to South America."
"Just don't get seen."
"I'll stay here."
"No."
"Yep."
"I'll keep her running, dog." JJ says sitting down.

John B and I walk over.

We see Mikes speech.

"Sarah!" John B whisper yells. They hug.
"Hi." She says.
"Follow me." He says taking her.
"I got Kie." I say. He nods.

I walk over to Kie.
"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Carrera." I say.
"Hey Y/n."

Kie and I walk away from them. I see Sarah and John B talking.
"What's going on?" I ask.
"I probably shouldn't say, but Sarah and Topper kinda hooked up." She whispers.
"What?" I whisper yell.
"Yeah. He keeps trying to talk to her and it's weird."
"Yeah. Shit." I mutter.

"What's going on though?" She asks.
"Singh kidnapped Big John. He's taking him to South America to kill him."
"Holy shit." She mutters.
"Where's Pope, Cleo, and JJ."
"Well JJ's hiding. Pope and Cleo are... I don't know."
"What? Why's he hiding?"
"Cause of your dad."
"Oh."

"Y/n." She says grabbing my arm.
"Yeah?"
"I can't go to South America."
"What?"
"I can't."
"JJ stole money from my dad. They won't let me leave."
"Kie-."
"No. I can't!"
"Okay. That's.. okay." I say.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I'm gonna go."
"Bye."

I walk back to the boat.

John B is sitting down with his head between his hands.
"What happened?" I ask. JJ signals for me to stop asking.
"She cheated. That's what happened."
"Shit."
"After everything I've been going through, she's off hooking up with Topper."
"Let's just go." JJ says.
"JJ." I mutter.

I see John B staring into the distance.
"What are you doing?" I ask. I follow his eyes to Sarah and Topper hugging:
"Don't even think about it, dude." JJ says.

He starts walking towards them
"Oh shit." I say getting up to follow him.

John B bumps into a guy dropping the drinks.
"Sorry." I mutter.
"No, not right here, bro." Topper says.
"John B." I call after him grabbing his arm.
"Get out of my way." He says to both me and Sarah.

He pushes Topper.
"Feel good about yourself?" He asks.
"Stop!" Sarah yells.
"You need to chill out, bro."
"You like messing up my relationship?"
"I'm not ruing their party." Topper says.
"That's what you're worried about?"
"I would just walk away."
"Feel good about yourself?"

Sarah grabs him.
"For once in your life, would you please just turn around and walk away?" Sarah asks. "Please."
"John B, now is not the time." I say looking at everyone who's staring.

"Hey, no hard feelings, bro." Topper laughs.
"Topper." Sarah says.
"We good?"

John B turns around and punches him.
"Shit." I mutter.
