maddie's pov:

I STILL HADN'T BEEN HOME since the morning after the hurricane. if my mom wanted me home she would have to come find me herself. she took my phone so that's on her, she no longer has the luxury of calling me.

so now i lay on the pullout couch at john b's.

i hadn't gotten much sleep last night after that whole thing with the guys who shot at us. i kept hearing the gunshots and seeing their faces, remembering the look of fear in my friends eyes. the thought only made me imagine loosing one of them and that kept me up for awhile.

i woke up to the door creaking open and immediately shot up on the couch, thinking it was one of those guys. my heart was racing and it was dark so that didn't help me and my worrying.

i scooted to up against the cushions to get as far away from the door as possible. i took deep breaths, trying to stay as quiet as possible so if they hadn't noticed me yet then they wouldn't now.

then there were footsteps and i was about to just stand up and book it to john b's room before the light flicked on and he was standing right there.

"jeez, john b! you scared me half to death," i groaned, my hand going up to chest as i felt my heart beating rapidly and my deep breaths fade.

"it's just me, maddie," he chuckled, walking into the kitchen.

"i thought you were asleep, when did you leave?" i slid off the couch and followed him into the kitchen, hopping up and sitting on the counter.

i must've fallen asleep for a little bit because i don't remember him leaving, the pullout is right by the door so there's no way he snook past me.

"i left at like 4:30 to sneak the tanks back to the druthers before they saw." john b opened the fridge and pulled out two cans of root beer and a plastic container of blueberries. he tossed me a can and opened the lid of the berries, popping a handful in his mouth then handing it to me.

"yeah, and how did that go?" i asked, opening my can.

"oh, uh... fine," he shrugged.

"get caught or anything?" i asked, hopping off the counter and popping a few berries in my mouth.

"nope, nobody was there," he assured me, opening his can and pointing it towards me with a grin.
