The pogue boy and the kook princess

Chapter 48 second round

RJ's pov

We just separated from the other's. Me, John B and Sarah was driving around the town.

I looked beside me to see Sarah was focusing out the window.

''so what do you think about the pogue life? I mean you're in it now, so is it everything you dreamed of?'', I asked her as I followed the road.

I noticed her smile from the side of my eye. ''and more'', she told me. ''woah, the Sarah Cameron likes to be a pogue. Damn'', John B said from behind.

''I mean she's dating one too'', I added.

Out the corner of my eyes I noticed two motorbikes driving behind us, looking like they're following us.

''shit not again. It's Rafe and by the look of the other bike, Topper'', I heard Sarah say.

''pull that what you call a car over, RJ. We ain't finished talking pogue''. I groaned but did what he said as I did not want to risk him clashing his bike with the van.

As we stopped they did too.

I was about to leave the car when Sarah stopped me. ''no, don't I'll take it this time''. I didn't get the chance to say something before she went out the car and over to him.

''why can't they just leave us alone''. I looked at my brother. ''good question bro. Maybe they're obsessed with us'', I tried to joke.

Sarah's pov

''the hell is your deal Rafe this has to stop'', I told my brother. Rafe ruffled my hair. ''oh, little miss not so perfect want's me to stop. I don't think so. Just tell me why you did what you did''.

I swayed his hand away from me.

''not this again Rafe. I didn't steal from him''. ''no, but one of the pogues did. My money is on your boyfriend's best friend, JJ right?''. ''it's none of your concern''. ''it kind of is when my little sister was there, even if she didn't do it. You still were there, Sarah. You know what that makes you? An companion''.

I could hear worry in his tone. That is weird. Rafe usually doesn't care about me.

''just listen Sarah, this guy is not nice. He is a bad man. He won't hesitate to do anything''. I scoffed at my brother. ''I know Rafe. I can handle myself. You don't need to act like you care about me now. I am capable of taking care of myself''.

''I ain't acting Sarah. I know me and you haven't always seen eye to eye, but I care. It doesn't matter Sarah. He doesn't care if you stole or not. What do you think he will do to you or your pogue boyfriend?''.

When he mentioned RJ I couldn't help but feel anger. I shoved him.

''don't you dare Rafe. I know what you have been doing. Doing drugs. So, don't come here and be my big brother now. You could have done that a long time ago, but no you didn't. Let me and my friends be. Let my boyfriend be, and stop calling him pogue with the tone you're using. He's human just like you... just... you stay out of my life, I stay out of yours''.

RJ's pov

I was listening to Sarah and Rafe's discussion when I saw Topper in front of the van. I let my anger get a hold on me.

''no don't RJ'', I heard my brother yell whisper but ignored him.

I went out the van and leaned myself by the van. ''this is old Topper. Can't you stay away? Do you like have feelings for me or something. Or do you want to try and kill me like when you shoved me out?''.

I noticed for a second his expression changed.

''it's always the kook's fault isn't it? Look I didn't apologies for that. I guess I'm sorry about it, but I hardly touched you dude. I am sorry for you getting hurt and got a broken arm out of it. At least something came out of it. I mean you and your brother are living with the Cameron's. But I am not the one corrupting this girl from a good family. You and you're friends are getting her involved in crimes. Can't you see that? Crimes that she wouldn't have gotten into if it wasn't for you coming into her life''.

I scoffed at his statement. ''look Top. You don't know what you're talking about. You say you hardly touched me, but I still fell. Something good may have come with it, but it doesn't make up for it. So, instead of trying to make me seem guilty. Maybe find out what's happening. I didn't corrupt Sarah into anything. She makes decisions for herself even if I say something, but hey blame the pogue boy'', I threw my hands up annoyed.

''oh, yeah? You stole 25k from a drug dealer and roped Sarah in with it. You shouldn't have let her get involved with it. If I were you I'd give Barry his money back, like asap'', he told me.

''okay Topper that's enough. You don't know the story. So, why don't you keep going on with your life and let us go on with ours'', John B told him in the back of the car.

He ignored my brother and pointed at me. ''you do you even care for her safety?''. I stood up from the van. ''yes I do'', I argued back.

''sure. I know I do, I'm the one who cares about her. Not you''. I could feel anger built inside of me. I looked to the back to see Sarah starring at me with soft eyes. I immediately calmed down.

I looked back at the boy.

''Topper I do care about her, more than you do. This is not a competition. Just get on your bike and leave'', I told him.

He didn't budge. ''or what? What are you gonna do RJ?'', he asked me as he came closer.

I still stood where I was, not even bothering to go at him. ''I won't do... nothing. Just get on the bike Thorton and drive''.

He slowly nodded while he backed away.

''trying to act like a hero now, huh'', he threw at me.

''at least I'm not trying to get into a girl's pants who clearly isn't feeling ready''.

I think I got to him there as he was about to launch himself at me, but Rafe stopped him right before he could.

''just get on the bike, Topper''.

I smirked at him.

He was looking very agitated.

''see you later douchebag''. ''I ain't the douchebag, that title goes to you'', I told him.

Sarah came by my side. I noticed Topper looking at her while getting on his bike. ''don't let him corrupt you Sarah. You are better than this. I'm not sorry for beating your boyfriend, but I am sorry he got badly injured and that's all I have to say''.

After that he and Rafe drove away.

''you know he's a fucking a pain in the ass'', I said out loud as I looked at the two who were getting further away from us. ''tell me about it and I dated him''.

Me and her laughed after that.

3rd pov

John B looked at the two and stepped out of the car. RJ noticed this. ''hey why did you step out, I thought we were going to the chetau?''.

''oh, I forgot. I have somthing to do''. RJ raised his brow. ''I can drive you''. ''no, it's just something I have to do alone and you and Sarah can have some alone time''.

RJ didn't even get a chance to answer, as his brother just walked away. ''well that was weird'', Sarah spoke up. ''uh, yeah it was. Maybe he got a secret girlfriend or something''.

''mhm, shall we go Row?''. RJ then had an idea. ''yeah, sure but do you wanna maybe see something?''. ''like what?''. ''just a place''. ''oh, a hiding spot''. ''I mean you could say so''. ''RJ Routledge, are you suggesting we go to an spot where no one can find us?'', she asked intrigued.

RJ shrugged. ''well, I guess you could say so. Me and JB are the only one that knows that spot. He doesn't use it much, but I go there sometimes for being alone. It's a cool place, a safe space''. ''and you want me with?''. ''yeah why not?''.

Sarah smiled. ''okay, lead the way handsome''.

The two went back in the twinkie and drove away to the secret spot.
