"You should talk to John B," Pope spoke as he put the med kit in the cabinet and then closing it.

I glared at him for a moment, there was no way I was gonna talk to him, ever.
You know the phrase you can't stay mad forever? I sure as hell will try.

"Why should I? Pope you know what she did better than anyone yet your gonna advocate for him?"

"I'm not advocating Ari, I just..want you to help us with the treasure hunt, you know how he is he can be stupid, even dumb sometimes," I couldn't help but giggle a little at his words he even knew that John b can be stupid, so I'm not the only one?

"You can say that again," I responded with a smile too hard to hide.

"Look I just don't want you guys to hate each other, your Jj's sister and a best friend to us all, expect for maybe Sarah, I don't want you to be mad forever."

"You know you can't," He added looking at me with convincing eyes.

"I'll think about it ok?" I could never say no to Pope, he was just to good at the goody act, but he also knew how to make me happy.

"Alright that's all I could ask for, right Princess?" He spoke with a goofy expression, that nickname princess always wore through my defenses but only when it came from him.

I never understood why?

But the moment was interrupted when I heard my brother and Kiara's voice, Me and Pope turned to see both of them in the doorway.

"John b needs your help Arch, he's out stranded and your the best with boats out of all of us," Kiara spoke and Jj just nodded it wasn't extremely noticeable but noticeable to say the least and I could tell something was up, but a part of me didn't wanna leave John B stranded..

"Fine," I sighed jumping off the counter, Pope just looked at me with a semi-grin, I guess he was happy that I was at least going to that idiots aid ,"But I don't have to be happy about it," I added, earning a expression of slight disappointment from Jj and Kiara, I've seen that look on my brothers face so much that I honestly wasn't affected anymore.

We were on our boat the HMS Pouge, it was a silence for a while I wondered how far they really went on the treasure hunt without me, I really did question that, after all it's takes all of us.

Like the whole phrase it takes a village.

Eventually we pulled up to the boat John B was stuck on, he was there waving us down to get our attention.

"What'd you mess up this time?" I questioned him as I got of the HMS Pouge onto the boat John B was on.

"I don't know, you know more about this than I do," He gave a half hearted laugh and a small smile, he was trying to get on my good side and it definitely didn't work.

"Just show me what's wrong with this piece of shit and I'll try to fix it, ok?" I looked at his expression trying to decipher his thoughts.
- But I couldn't, although I still had the underlying feeling something was gonna happen that I had no clue about.

But he didn't argue he led me to the back of the boat opening the cover and I bent down to check it out, and see what was wrong with it.

But to my surprise I saw nothing, everything was fine until I heard a engine start...a boat engine.

And I quickly turned to see Jj, Kiara and Pope with John B retreating on the boat Pope mouth a I'm sorry.

"WHAT THE HELL! ASSHOLES!" I yelled out to them.

And then I heard a voice and banging so I followed it, it was coming from under deck so I walked over and opened the latch just to see someone I would never expect Sarah.

"What the hell.." I could tell Sarah didn't plan this either cause her expression was the same as mine, confused.

Then it hit me, John B didn't pick one or the other he chose both of us.

Me and Sarah both ran back up to the top of the boat and we saw John B, Jj, Pope and Kiara in the HMS Pouge.

"I'm sorry! But you'll both stay on that boat til you solve your differences!!" John b yelled out to us.

And I sure as hell didn't agree, they didn't want us to be on bad terms I'm guessing, I didn't want to work it out because what she did was inexcusable, and I couldn't just forgive her for that.

It's not something easy to forget.
