XV. OBX Is My Home.

   

     IN THE woods, Kie lifted up a watermelon, "jackpot!" She shouted, making Sarah turn around and look at her. The two girls then sat down together, eating one half each of the watermelon, "holy shit." The Cameron girl says, enjoying the fruit. "Okay, so you really got married?" The Carrera girl asked her now, looking over at the blonde girl.

"It wasn't exactly legal, but... yeah." Sarah says, smiling up at Kie who smiles back. "Am I crazy, or is there definitely something going on between you and Jake?" The shorter now asked, looking up at her again and Kie shrugs. "Maybe." She says, smiling. "That's not a no." She says and Kie looks at her. "It's not a no." She says, glancing away.

"Girl."

Back at the boat, John B looks at Jake, "so, uh, what's up with this Kiara stuff there, big guy?" He asked and Jake glanced away. "Uh..." He shrugged. "I definitely like her." He says, looking at the Routledge boy who nods. "Uh-huh." He says and Jake looks at the other two, who are both just listening to the boy intently. "And I'm pretty sure she likes me." Jake said, gesturing towards himself.

"Seems like it." John B nods. "Right now, there's a lot of conflicting details... and I'm just trying to figure out... what I'm gonna do." He said, sounding unsure as he stared at the floor of the boat. "Conflicting details?" John B asked, squinting his eyes at the Lennox who just nodded, glancing up.

"Alright, man, look, women, right? Like they're just not consistent." JJ says and Jake squints his eyes at the boy. "Alright, we're not gonna take female advice from JJ." Pope says, shaking his head and Jake holds in his laugh as he looks at the Heyward boy now.

"So, what's the deal with this Limbrey chick, anyway?" He changed the topic, switching the attention over to Pope. "Yeah. You think she knew my pops?" John B asked him, also looking at the Heyward. "I don't know. But I do think she has the information that could exonerate you." Pope tells John B.

"That might be ideal."

"Not to throw a monkey wrench in the entire thing, but she did just try to kidnap you, man." JJ said as he looks up at Pope next to him. "How many times do I gotta say this?" He looked at Jake and then at John B. "Here we go." The Routledge just quietly whispers as he sighed. "Why are we going back? Why don't we go south? Why don't we go to Yucatán?" JJ asked, looking at Pope then Jake.

"Coast of Broken Dreams, baby!"

"No, no! I'm not running anymore." John B says, looking at JJ. "Look, OBX is my home." He says, looking over at Jake who nods softly. "Besides, if I go back, I get another shot at Ward." He says quietly, staring at the ground before glancing up at them. "Hi." Sarah says as she and Kie now approach the boat at the end of the dock, both girls holding watermelons.

"What ya'll talking about?" Sarah asked. "Uh... fishing." John B says and Jake looks down, scratching the back of his neck. "Dropping lures." JJ says, looking up at Sarah who scrunched up her face. "Yeah, that's that. Need help?" He now offers Sarah. "Thanks." Sarah says as JJ takes the watermelon from the girl and Jake stood up. "What's that?" He asked Kie who just grinned widely at him.

"I got breakfast."

When the Chateau came into view, John B looks up. "There she is." He says. "Bet it is good to see her old bones, right?" JJ asked as Jake looks at them, smiling. "Welcome home, guys." He says as JJ now pats John B's back. JJ tied off the boat as they all got off, walking up the dock. "You know, I gotta be honest. Not exactly looking forward to a check-in at home." Kie said, leaning against the rail.

"My parents probably already arranged my funeral." She adds as they all gather together on the dock. "I also predict unpleasantries at the Heyward household after I left the truck in Charleston." Pope says as John B hums, glancing away. "No one knows we're here, right?" JJ now asked them. "And you two aren't gonna get into any more trouble for showing up 12 hours later." He says.

"Am I right, or am I right?" He asked and Pope looks at him. "You're not wrong." He merely told the Maybank. "So that means we have 12 hours to do whatever we want. Huh? A little Pogue fellowship. How does that sound?" He asked as Sarah just shook her head.

"Let the shit hit the fan tomorrow."

"Yeah!" JJ exclaimed right away as Jake sighs, glancing at Kie who just tilts her head at him, raising her brows. "The cops could be looking for us. It could be really stupid." Sarah says and JJ walks over to her. "Sarah Cameron, you've heard of my philosophy, right?" He asked and Sarah smiles, "no." She says.

"Stupid things have good outcomes all the time." The blond boy says as Pope, John B, Kie and Jake all mouth along with his words. "Who's with me? Let's go get some beer!" JJ said and after all of them go changed, the group now headed out onto the HMS Pogue.

After getting beer at Geechie's, they put the beer in the fridge for it to get cold. And then out in the hot tub, Kie was there, smoking a joint and Jake joined her, smiling widely. "Hey." He says, walking over to her. "Hi." She said, taking a drag from the joint. She leaned in, but then Sarah came out from the Chateau, waving at the two so Kie backed away, giggling.

"Jeez, so much for some alone time." She murmured and Jake chuckles. "Hi!" Sarah said as she climbed into the hot tub. "Hey Sarah." Jake smiled. Not long after, the other boys came rushing out the house, bringing the beer with them. "Jake!" JJ said as he tossed the beer over to the boy who caught it smoothly. "Shotgun! All of us, shotgun right now!" The Maybank said, meaning him and the boys.

"Alright, alright."
