Quinn

*2 months later*

It's been a little while now since Rafe has been staying with us and after everything that went on with Gus. Me and Rafe are good again after talking out some things and we are still taking it slow. Not that slow though.

Everyone has been acting weird for the last few days though. I don't know what's going on but I would appreciate it if I could be in on the secret in my own home.

Since it's been two months though, let me catch you up on what has happened.

- Gus hasn't been seen since the gun thing

- Rafe asked me to move to OBX with him

- Sofia still doesn't know JJ is there

- Me and JJ are planning on talking once I move to OBX

Kinda forgot to say that in the beginning. So surprise! I'm saying goodbye to this house and leaving it for Zach and Genevieve for the summer. I am sad I won't be seeing them that much anymore, but it's like a new start.

Again...

I don't even think Genevieve will miss me at all. The only one she will miss is Theo. I promised Gen I would send pictures whenever I could. Gosh I'm going to miss these two so much.

I'm only bringing one suitcase for now and I'm having Gen ship out my other clothes later in the week so I won't have to live out of a suitcase. I know Rafe wound 't let me but I need to see how many clothes I can get rid of before I buy more.

I think that will be the first thing I do once I get my clothes all shipped. That way I can make some more cash. "Gosh I will miss you so much," Genevieve says as I put my arms out to hug her.

It wasn't meant for me. She goes behind me to pick up Theo off the ground and places a bunch of kisses all around his face. I have a feeling Zach is going to be getting a cat at some point.

"I'll miss you," Zach says, as we hug each other. Genevieve ends up letting Theo go so she can hug me. "Promise me you will text as soon as you land. Also don't forget about us," Genevieve whispers that last part.

"I promise," I say because it's true. How could I ever forget about my best friends. That would be like forgetting your favorite food or something I don't know. "Nice knowing you man," Zach and Rafe embrace in a little bro hug.

They have developed quite the bromance over the last two months. As we say our final goodbyes, I start to get emotional. They have been with me through it all. I'm going back to the place that brought me to them.

I know this John B kid would always say something like, The Outer Banks. Paradise on Earth. Something about having two jobs or two houses. Two tribes, one island.

Even though I never knew John B personally, from what I hear he was a great guy. I also knew he was from the cut because so were JJ and Sofia. Well Sofia wasn't always in the cut.

She told me one day that she used to be a kook, or one of those rich people who, funnily enough, lived right across from Rafe. She also met JJ on the kook side because he was cutting the Camerons grass.

Nobody will tell me how any of them died, not even Rafe. I found out how everyone else died but that family is the one nobody will ever tell me.

I also know that Rafe used to hate JJ friends which they call pogues. I don't know what that means still even though when I was there, I would get called one sometimes. Maybe because I'm living here forever now I'll finally know what it means.

I get broken out of my day dreams when Rafe taps on my shoulder. "Ready?" He asks and I nod as we get in the Uber waiting for us. "Are we actually doing this?" I say out loud. If you were to tell me two months ago what I'm doing, I would laugh in your face.
