'Cause you are, the only one
'Cause you are, the only one

I see them snakes come through the ground
They choke me to the bone

'Wakey wakey!' i hear kie whisper, gently trying to shake us awake. 

JJ fumbles alongside me, pressing his head more into my chest. I tangle my fingers in his silky hair as I put my hands onto him. I raise my head just enough to see Kie better.

'Morning kie,' i smiled, yawing. 'where's the rest of the group?' i questioned.

'Checking out the damage from the storm last night.' she spoke, smacking jj across the head slightly making me let out a slight giggle. 'Wake up dumbass!'

JJ tightens his arm around me and groans before muttering, 'I'm too tired, bro. Just let me sleep for a bit.' His voice still had a hint of sleepiness in it.

I giggle and sit up, causing the blond boy next to me to groan once again. I immediately moaned at how long the dock we had previously constructed was as I got up from the couch and followed Kie down to where the rest of the group was at the surf shop. I saw the bunch hunched over the tank where we keep our bait as I edged closer to the surf shop.

'Anyone want fried fish?' John b joked as he fished a couple of the now dead fish out of the tank with a net.

'Woah, what the fuck happened to the bait.' jj shouted as he came up to the surf shop, joining the little huddle we were having in the middle of shop.

Everyone gave him an annoyed look as John b continued talking. 'The storm last night,' he sighed. 'what's the damage, pope?'

'Fuse box is busted. Without the live bait, the fishermen won't come, and there goes half of our business right there. We have enough profit to cover it, but barley, just barley. All right?' He spat as he walked towards the plank of wood and picked up a tin before emptying out a chunk of gold. 'This is it. The last of our Au.'

'Uh what?'

'What?'

'Pope it's too early for this shit man!'

Pope sighed. 'The gold. It's the periodic symbol for gold.'

'Why not just say gold?'

'Because it doesn't matter. This is all our savings, and it's a no-go. This is for property taxes. So were gonna have to tighten up..' he spoke, looking around the room.

'..which means no more $600 is gas chasing tarpon up the gulf.' 

His eyes instantly shot to John b and jj who had already began having a fit. 'Pope, that's my job!'

he ignored the pair before turning to kie. 'No more $200 in heirloom tomato seeds.' 

The looked kie gave him was priceless. She knew better though and kept her mouth shut before Cleo opened hers.

'What about my imported peppers?' she questioned.

'Peppers gotta go too, baby.' pope spoke, shrugging his shoulders. Him and Cleo were so cute, I'm so happy they broke their stupid, no love club cause we all knew from the start that they were made for each other. 

I personally was glad i wasn't being attacked, but i guess i spoke to soon because soon pope had his eyes directly pointed at Sarah and i.

'And you guys gotta chill on the bikini's!' he said, flapping his arms around.
