Im sitting down on the boat trying to convince myself it was the right thing to leave John B behind and everyone else is fighting in the back but i can't hear anything they're saying "never leave a pogue behind" something i lived by, something i like to think i still live by.
"This boat has got to have a mini bar or something" I say getting up then a phone rings
"who's that" jj said going over to kie
"it's portis" she says confused knowing he got murdered in front of us
"thats john b that definitely john b. Yo! Dude! is this you?"
"speaker jay"
"do you need us to turn back around"
he puts the phone on speaker and he's cutting in and out
"say that again"
"dont worry bout me. its way too hot here you guys gotta get out go back to obx"
"gimme the phone. Yo johnny boy did you find him"
he says something but we cant hear him and the only thing we hear before the line disconnects is kildare.
"fuck"
cleo: you guys think he found his father
pope: he's been missing for almost a year
"in my defense he never felt dead to me"
kie:what do you think sarah
jj:sarah we need to make a decision we're sitting ducks here keep going or turn back?
sarah: he said go
i go down to the lower deck and try to take a nap but i couldnt fall asleep so i go over to my bag to take out a joint and while looking for it i found the bag of coke from that night at the party and contemplate doing a line but i put it in the bottom of my bag and took out a joint and when i was done i just sat there staring at the water thinking. thinking bout how easy it would be to just go back to everything how free I felt. how I didn't have a care in the world how nothing mattered not my parents, not school, nothing at all and no one would even know. I also thought about why I shouldn't and in an attempt to distract myself I went over to the mini bar and started raiding it and later on jj came down.
"hey jay"
"Hi" he said sitting down next to me
"what's on your mind" I said slightly slurring my words but i dont think he noticed
"John B"
"He's gonna be fine he always is. he has the survival instincts of a cockroach"
"you always know what to say Eve" he says looking at me then i look at him switching from his eyes to his lips both of us leaning in and we start kissing and I move my legs to be straddling him and I move my lips down to his neck and go back to his lips
"wait, wait" he says pulling us apart
"what's wrong"
"you"
"what what do you mean" i said standing up
"you're drunk and fried. I can taste it and smell it on you" he said getting off the couch and standing in front of me
"what's wrong with that?"
"Eve I love how you always smelled like weed and that one specific perfume that you refuse to change the smell was so intoxicating i was obsessed but this isn't the same something is on your mind whats wrong talk to me"
