Once the group had finished catching waves, you began packing up your things, the sun starting to dip low in the sky.

"Guys, there's a turtle hatch!" Kiara exclaimed, her excitement bubbling over.

"What?" JJ perked up, his curiosity piqued.

"There's a turtle hatch!" Kiara repeated, practically bouncing on her feet.

"Oh my God!" You gasped, your eyes widening in disbelief as the tiny heads popped out from under the sand.

"Yo," JJ said, his tone full of enthusiasm.

Kiara couldn't help but laugh at their reactions. "Oh!"

Sarah screeched, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Oh my God!"

"Whoa. Holy shit," John B chimed in, peering over at the tiny creatures.

Sarah leaned closer, her laughter ringing out as she exclaimed, "Oh... they're so little!"

"Look at these little nuggets!" John B added, grinning from ear to ear.

"Wait, back up! Give them some space. You can't touch them," Kiara warned, her voice serious yet excited.

You quickly gathered your thoughts. "We gotta make a path, right?"

"Yeah," JJ agreed, nodding eagerly.

"Clear the way!" John B shouted as he began to move debris aside.

"Get these footprints out of the way. Sarah, keep the gulls off!" he instructed, waving her over.

"I don't see any," Sarah said, scanning the area before spotting one. "Ah!" she squealed, pointing at a tiny turtle making its way across the sand.

"We should make it like a highway!" John B suggested, a grin spreading across his face.

"A turtle highway!" You chimed in, clearly having fun with the idea.

"A turtle highway! Come on, kids!" Sarah exclaimed, clapping her hands excitedly.

"Follow your human daddy straight to the ocean!" John B called out, mimicking a parental tone.

Suddenly, the sound of a truck accelerating toward them broke the joyful atmosphere. They turned around and saw Topper's truck coming straight for them.

"Hey!" Kiara says waving them down. "Hey, stop! There's a hatch!"

You squinted, your frustration bubbling over. "What the hell are they doing?"

"Let's just get out of the way," John B suggested, but you shook your head defiantly.

"No, I don't think so."

With determination, you rushed to your truck, starting it up and speeding through the sand, heading straight for the oncoming vehicle.

"Y/N!" Kiara shouted in alarm.

"What is she doing?!"

Neither you nor the approaching truck showed signs of swerving. At the last second, Topper yanked the wheel from Ruthie, swerving just as you slammed on the brakes, your truck skidding to a halt. Without wasting a second, you flung open her door and stepped out, ready to confront them.

JJ sees the brawl brewing and runs up to back up his girlfriend.

"What is wrong with you, Y/N?! You could've died!" Topper yelled, his voice laced with panic.

"No, what the fuck is wrong with you! There's a freaking hatch going on, you idiots!" You shot back, your anger flaring.

Topper's expression fell slightly, realising the gravity of the situation.

Ruthie shrugged it off, her facade unwavering. "So what?"

"So what?! You could've crushed them!" You fired back.

"Lighten up, Y/N. It's just a bunch of turtles," Ruthie replied with a smirk. "A hatch is, what, like 100 turtles? Most of them don't make it anyways. Even if we did kill any, you could just throw them to the seagulls. Circle of life right?"

"Fucking bitch. Circle of life?!" You snapped as you shove Ruthie.

Topper rushed forward, trying to intervene. "Y/N, stop!"

But before he could reach you, JJ stepped in between them, grabbing Topper by the shirt, his jaw set. "You better back off, Topper."

"Then keep your girlfriend in check."

Ruthie leaned in closer to you, her smirk growing. "Your move Y/N. What are you gonna do?"

With a surge of rage, you swung your arm, slapping Ruthie across the face with a sharp crack. The impact silenced the crowd for a moment, everyone in shock.

"You better watch your mouth," You warned, shoving Ruthie to the ground.

You straighten up with a huff as JJ pulls you back, "time to go baby. They're not worth it."

"This isn't over, Y/N!" Ruthie shouted from the ground, fury in her eyes.

"Yeah, I think it is," You retorted, your voice steady as you glared down at her, still in JJ's grasp. "I could ruin your life, and you know it." You spat the words out with venom before turning around to the driver's side.

"You come near her or any of us ever again, and I'll come back and kill every single one of you," JJ warned, his voice low and menacing.

You climbed into the driver's seat, JJ settling in the passenger side. You slammed the gear into reverse, kicking up sand as you spun the truck around. The grains flew toward Ruthie and Topper, who instinctively flinched, cowering away from the onslaught. A satisfied smirk tugged at your lips as you drove away, glancing in the mirror at their shocked expressions.

"God, I've never hated them more," you muttered, your anger still simmering.

"I know but you've never turned me on more," JJ replied, his tone teasing as they sped back towards the group.

"And that's why you love me." You smirk.

"Yes I do, princess."

"Damn it felt good to slap her."
