001. THE DIRTBAG MARINA RAT AND HIS GRADY WHITE

Chapter one

"The dirtbag marina rat and his Grady white."

Waking up the next day, Summer lifted her head up and looked around her, remembering how JJ had taken her room with some random girl so she ended up bunking with her brother, seeing as Kiara and Pope had took the other two options of places to sleep, she groaned, reaching her hand out and grabbing her phone, but when she did, looking at the time her eyes went wide "ah!" she voiced, quickly rolling out of bed and getting up, quickly walking out of there and heading to the bathroom, which her brother was currently walking out of "move!" she voiced, shoving him out of it and slamming the door behind her, as she quickly turned on the shower to get ready for the day.

Because her and John B had their meeting with CPS today and she wasn't gonna be late for it because her brother was insistent on changing who she was, which was why she was wearing a white shirt with a blue dress over it with her hair in a ponytail as her brother sat next to her, in front of the social worker "alright, Summer, John, it's come to our attention that you two are un emancipated minors living on your own." the social worker shared, as she took off her glasses "well, you see.." Summer went to tell her as, John B scoffed interrupting her "what my sister means to say is no." he told her.

"John, I need honesty to help you two. That's what we both want, right?" the social worker asked "yeah. I'm being honest." John B told her, shaking his head, as Summer laughed "well, what my brother means is our uncle." she told her "well, when was the last time you spoke to your uncle?" the social worker asked, as John B pulled up his watch "uh, thirty four minutes ago." he told her, as Summer turned to him with furrowed brows "what?" she mouthed but when she did, John B raised his brows at her.

"When's the last time you saw him?" the social worker asked, as Summer turned to her "the last time we saw him was.." she was going to tell her the truth as John B interrupted her "two hours and forty three minutes ago." he shared "no, he is lying!" Summer voiced, getting tired of her brother's games "okay, okay, Summer, easy. We'll come out there tomorrow to talk to your uncle. If he's not there, we're gonna move forward with foster care. I want to assure you, we're gonna find you two a safe and loving home." the social worker shared, as Summer scoffed, standing up and walking out and as she did, John B followed after her.

Which was why later on, while JJ, Pope and Kiara were all laughing around the fire on the beach, Summer was standing away from them with John B as John B scoffed, throwing his arms out "how could you be against me on this, huh? Do you want to be separated? Because that's what they're gonna do to us, Summer!" he voiced, as Summer shook her head "well, anything would be better then the way we're living! John B, look at us! We barley eat three meals a day, I mean for breakfast I find you drinking a beer!" she voiced, motioning to him "and then we're lucky to even have lunch before dinner roles around and we're eating fish again!" she yelled.

As John B pointed at her "you said you liked it!" he voiced, as Summer scoffed "I lied!" she voiced, throwing her arms out "I mean, one person can only enjoy fish for so long, John B! And don't even get me started on how lying could get us into more trouble then we're in already?" she asked, making John B scoff as he shook his head "don't start with that." he told her "with what? The truth?" Summer asked him, as John B turned to her "no with all your information, Summer! I mean, come on! You used to love hanging out with us and then all of a sudden dad goes missing and you're..you're a ghost." he told her, as Summer chuckled "I'm a ghost?" she asked him.

"Yeah." John B told her, kicking the sand as Summer shook her head "no! No, your just upset that I'm not stuck! Your..you're scared that I'm gonna disappear like mom did, like he did and leave you too!" she yelled and when she did, JJ, Kiara and Pope turned to the two, as John B stuck his finger in her face "CPS isn't gonna come tomorrow watch!" he voiced, stepping around her and walking away from her, and as he did, Summer huffed, and turned following after him.
