we did it.
we recreated poguelandia on kildare.
we built it and worked it and lived together just like we dreamed of.
we spent money.. a lot of money.
and i know we should've been more careful.
we should have saved.
but come on, how long were we really gonna stay out of trouble?

OUTERBANKS BEACH.

the crowd cheers.
"whats up, yall kooks and pogues! welcome, welcome to this years kildare enduro. what a fantastic day we got for bike racing today! you guys ready to burn some gas!?"
the crowd cheers again as motorcycle engines rev.
"the race is kicking off soon, so make sure you get your bets in, and then wave your flag, you know what i'm saying!?"
i jog over to jj who was waiting on getting his bike fixed, i grab his shoulders
"hey, look. you got this, alright?" i assure him
he grabs my waist and pulls me in for a hug
"i love you" he whispers
i kiss his head
"i love you too."
he pulls his face off my shoulder and kisses my lips softly.
"okay! everyone get ready!" the man spoke over the microphone
i gently pull away from the kiss
"behave, please" i tell him before jogging back off to everyone
i look over to see cleo fixing up jjs bike, jj looking around at the atmosphere and tension of the beach.
i could tell he was anxious about the race but also keen about it.
rafe cameron then pushes past me, holding my arm as he does so. he looks over with a smirk before he goes to one of the men to put on biking gear.
great. just great.
JJS POV.
as i look to my right, topper thornton was staring at me with a grin.
i scoff and look away
as i do i see john b jog over
"let's go, baby! how we feeling, champ!?" john b laughs as he slaps my shoulder
"like i got this whole shot."
"yeah?!"
"yeah."
"i'm gonna win it this year. i know i am." i proudly state as i pace
"yeah you are." john b assures me
"cleo, how you doing girl?" i look down at cleo fixing my bike.
"everything's good. the girl, out." cleo stands up
we hand shake and she goes to stand with pope, sarah and vienna.
vienna.
she was looking at me already with that smile of hers
i smile back, not a kinda fake smile that you'd give someone who was smiling at you when passing.. a smile that just grows when you don't expect it.
my focus on vi was then distracted by john b grabbing my shoulders and looking at me.
