JJ Maybank

"It's a no-brainer, you're picking Kie," I sighed, reaching forward and grabbing a beer from the fridge.

John B shook his head and I almost laughed.

"I can't make a decision."

"So what, we're just dead in the water because you're pussy-whipped?"

He cocked his head to the side, an annoying smirk growing on his face, "You really want to talk about pussy-whipping right now?"

I took a swig of my beer and wiped my mouth off before answering, "This has nothing to do with me. We're talking about you making a decision, here, mkay?"

Pope laughed from beside me, and I whipped my head towards him. "Well now it kinda is about you, because Kie is pissed off that everyone knew about you and Josie except for her."

"You didn't know," I pointed out.

"She doesn't believe me. But the fact of the matter is, Sarah of all people knew before she did. So Kiara is mad at everyone and their mother right now. Including you, JJ."

I sighed, my gaze turning to my hands. I knew Josie was probably freaking out right now. I was too, but I couldn't show that in front of anyone. I didn't want anyone to know about this and neither did she. It was supposed to be our little secret, and John B wasn't supposed to tell anyone, let alone Sarah Cameron who I know has the biggest mouth in the world. I promised Josie that nobody would find out, and thanks to John B, Josie probably hated me right now.

"If John B kept his mouth shut, we wouldn't be in this mess," I pushed, finishing off my beer and throwing it in the trash can.

"We're in this mess because both of you couldn't keep it in your pants," Pope added making us both send him a heavy glare. He held his hands up in the air, "I'm just saying."

"I'm not the one that's sleeping with a Kook. JJ is," John B teased, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Not yet," I scoffed. "It was only once anyway, Sarah made it seem like Josie and I've been sneaking around for awhile. If you wouldn't have told her, I wouldnt be wrapped up in this."

His eyes narrowed and him and Pope shared a knowing glance before turning back to me, "Once? You sure about that?"

I shoved my hands in my pockets, nodding. "Yeah."

Both of them continued their stare, clearly not believing my lie. I cleared my throat and turned away from their eyes, "Fine, it was twice. But it doesn't matter, okay? We can't do this without Kie, and you know it."

"I can't do this without Sarah. Okay, they both have to be in on it."

Pope raised his eyebrows, "Well, good luck with that."

"Look, I know this is my fault, okay?" John B kissed his teeth, "But it's our problem. I've got a plan. And you two shit-heads are gonna help me out."

With that, he walked out of the room and Pope and I shared a look, him shaking his head and following after John B.

I cleared my throat once they were out of ear shot and glanced out the window, ready to stare off into space and forget where I was for a moment. To my surprise, Josie was still sitting out in her car, clearly very upset in her drivers seat. My lip twitched into a smile and I quickly walked out of the house, flipping off my two friends before walking out to her car.

When I knocked on the window, she jumped up, holding her hand to her chest. I laughed as she unlocked the door and I threw myself into the passenger seat. Her hand grabbed the stereo knob, and she quickly turned down her blasting music.
