Lost

twenty-five | Falling Off Of Towers

We were blasting music as we pulled up to the Hawks Nest.
J.B put the car in park.
"All, right." He nodded.
I opened the sliding door next to me and hopped out of the Twinkie.
"Hit it, boys! We're going recoil mission." JJ exclaimed, following behind me.

JJ was halfway out of the van when John B said,
"Yo, uh...so, I think i'm gonna do this one by myself..tonight."
JJ paused and I peaked my head back into the Twinkie.
Kie looked pissed.
"Really?" JJ asked.
"What?" John B asked.
"Nothing" JJ shrugged as he scooted himself back in.

"I don't want to spook Sarah with the peanut gallery."
"Could've said that before I got out." I pointed out, then made my way back into the van.
"I just don't understand why we're involving her at all." Kiara said.
"Kie, we're not involving her, okay?" John B groaned. "It's-it's just, uh, like a-a business meeting...thing"

JJ pretended to give head to the blunt he was holding so I shoved his head.
Pope laughed which cause both John B and Kie to look over at us. I just simply shook my head-telling the two to ignore it.
"Look, once we get what we need, we cut her loose, all right?" John B countered. "Plus, we need the map."

Kie shrugged. "Promise me nothings happening between you two."
John B looked away, sighing, "Nothing is happening, Kie."
"I'm being serious."
"Okay!" John B looked back at Kie.
"This isn't about you, and this isn't about us. This is about her." Kiara made clear. "Dude, she's gonna get inside your head. Just promise me nothings happening between you guys."

John B held Kies gaze for a second or two before saying, "I promise."
Silence fell over all of us before JJ interfered with it,
"That was really believable."
"A hundred percent believable." Pope nodded.
"Anyways, um...i'm gonna take care of business." John B declared.
"You're gonna take care of business so well." JJ nodded.

"We'll just sit here." I told John B.
"Yeah-Yeah." He nodded as he got out of the Twinkie.
"In the hot-ass car." I added.
"Yup." John B shut the door.
"While it's..lightning." I made sure to include.
He walked away.

"Okay...so what do you guys want to talk about while they take care of their...business?" I laughed as I said the word business.
Kie shook her head, refusing to look at any of us.
JJ shrugged, "Wanna go on a walk."
I narrowed my eyes on him. "While it's thundering...and lightning."
"Yup." JJ nodded.

I looked over at Kie who looked pissed, then at Pope who was just staring at the top of the Twinkie. "Yeah, sure."
Popes head immediately popped up and he gave a pleading look to me and JJ.
I tried my best not to laugh as me and JJ hopped out of the Twinkie and shut the door behind us.
Not even a minute later my phone vibrated. I looked down at it to see that Pope texted me.

assholes

I started laughing and showed the text message to JJ.

assholes

try taking care of your own business, maybe it will cheer her up

you are disgusting

I put my phone down and turned my head to look at JJ. He was already looking at me.
"So where do you wanna go?" I asked.
He shrugged.
I laughed a little bit as I looked away from him. I could see the rain in the distance. I knew it had to have been close. "It's probably going to start raining any minute now so we should make this walk a fast one-not go far, you know?" I looked back at JJ and he was still looking at me.
