Junie - JJ Maybank

31

"Shit... guys! We're almost out of gas!" Pope shouts to us.

JJ jumps up from his spot next to me and goes over to the wheel.

There is a screen that has a GPS system on it. This boat is bougie I guess...

"There's a town a couple miles away." He tells him.

Pope nods then changes directions.

Pope drives the boat onto a deserted beach. We all gather in a circle to plan out what we are gonna do.

"JJ, you're on food because you somehow managed to eat 3/4 of it on the first day on the boat." John B tells him.

"I'll be on food too!" I tell them.

Everyone looks at me and John B shakes his head, "you're gonna be on boat watch."

"What? Why?" I ask with a frustrated voice.

I look at everyone and they all have the same look on their face.

JJ is the one to answer me, "Junie, you can hardly walk. I mean, you've barely gotten up from your spot."

I scoff, "so you guys are making me watch the boat?"

Sarah sighs, "you know it's for the better, Ems."

I think for a second and realize that she is right. We want to be as quick as possible here and if I go then we won't be as fast.

"Fine."

They plan out the rest of everything. JJ and Pope will be on food, John B and Sarah will be on gas, and me and Kiara will be on boat watch.

When everyone has left, Kiara sits down next to me and slips herself under my blanket.

"I'm sorry you couldn't go with Pope." I tell her.

She shrugs, "I'm sorry you couldn't go with JJ."

We sit in silence for a few seconds until I hear Kiara let out a heavy sigh.

"What is it, Kie?" I ask her.

"What happened... at the garage?" She asks me awkwardly.

I don't say anything for a second and she continues, "you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

I shake my head, "I do, it will probably make me feel better to talk about it."

She turns her body to fully face me, "go ahead."

I sit up a little bit and move my body as much as I can to face her. I tell her everything. From the moment that Rafe and Barry came to the garage to when I woke up after being drowned.

"I just hate that JJ had to watch." I tell her.

She shakes her head and lets out a heavy sigh, "I'm sorry you had to go through it."

We sit on the boat for another thirty minutes until the rest of the Pogues get back. Then we set off to Barbados.
