Pope starts driving back to the cross. We all tried to drive, but he threatened every single one of us if we didnt let him.

"Uh- Pope, you're driving really fast" I said

Pope just howls. Like an actual wolf. Into the wind.

"Pope- last to judge- but I think you should slow down a little" JJ says, clutching the door.

"That would definitely delay our arrival to the cross. We gotta get there" Pope says, laser focused on the road like he owns it.

"Why did we let him drive again?" Kie asks, looking at us like we trapped her in a nightmare.

"Because I said I'd rip your ears off" Pope replies calmly.
"I was joking about that by the way" he adds

"That's a really funny joke" Kie scoffs

"Hey how ya feeling buddy? How ya doing?"
John B asks him carefully.

"Uh- fantastic. I don't know what JJ's cousin gave me but I am moving" Pope says

"We couldn't tell" Kie mutters.

"Okay well um you're going really fast right now" John B says.

"Yeah really fast!" Pope says, turning to look at John b instead of the road.

We all scream when the car swerves over the line.

"Whoa whoa!" JJ yells

Then pope goes to overtake a car....white another car was coming straight at us.

"You don't need to pass. You don't need to pass" Kie says

We scream again as pope barely missed the oncoming car.

"What an asshole right?" Pope scoffs.

"Pope he's going the speed limit" Kie says

"We're not gonna get to the cross if we're dead
Pope" John B warns.

"We're not gonna die. It's our divine right to get that cross" Pope says

"Pope! Look at the road!" John B yells- right as pope clips the back of a truck.

We spin. Hard. Metal grinding, tires screeching, the whole world a blur until as slam into a tree.

Everything is silent for a beat. Just our breathing.

"Is everyone okay?" John B asks

"Oh- ow. Uhh- yeah, I think so" I say, rubbing my head.

"Never better. That is the last time you drive Pope."  JJ says, climbing out.

"My dad's truck! No!" Kie groans.

"Kie one word. Totaled" JJ says, wincing.

"My parents are gonna kill me for real this time" Kie says
