Baby Blue // Outer Banks

Be safe

In the boat the crew passes a lot of wreckage as they find their way to the motel. Blue sees the motel and it's absolutely destroyed, it was already a run down motel and after the storm it doesn't look too pretty. "This place is a shit show." Pope remarks looking at all the damage. "motel or meth lab?" Kiara questions, "You be the judge." Blue answers.

"Doesn't look like a place where someone with a grady white would stay." John B shakes his head, "No. Looks like someone what a grady white would get killed." Pope agrees. What is with this kid and dead people? Blue thinks to herself. "This is your captain speaking. HMS Pogue coming in for landing." JJ says impersonating a captain. Blue watches as JJ ties the boat to shore. She constantly worries about him, he never thinks before he does things and most times it ends badly for him and for all of them.

"Hey, don't let him do anything stupid." Pope says to John B nodding towards JJ. Blue puts her hands on JJ's shoulders and looks him in the eyes, "Please be careful, my moms counting on you to clean up the yard." She giggles and messes up his hair. "Will do, baby Blue." He winks at her flirtatiously. Blue shakes her head and pushes him towards the motel.

"God this could go so wrong." Kiara worries, Pope sighs "Yeah, tell me about it I've got a scholarship on the line." Blue ignores the two worrying and watches as the two boys get into the motel room. Now she's worrying, she can't see them anymore. The sound of a car pulling up catches all their attention. "shit, cops." Blue says quietly getting the attention of Kiara and Pope. They watch as the cops point up to the room where John and JJ are. No one can get ahold of them, the towers are down from the storm.

Pope, Blue and Kiara sneak out of the boat to not be seen. Blue knew this wasn't a good idea, it's never a good idea when John and JJ are in on it. "Rocks, throw them at the window." Kiara says frantically. Each of them grabs a pebble and launch them at the window. "Didn't you ever play baseball, Pope?" Kiara asks. "I was on the math team." Pope whispers, as they all pick up another pebble, finally one hits the window. Blue sees John's head in the window and they all mouth 'cops'. Watching from the boat, Blue sees John B and JJ climb out the window and stand on the ledge on either side.
"should we peel?" Kiara asks. "No we wait for them." Blue states staring at the boys standing outside the window. A gun falls out of JJ's pocket and to the ground making a thud. Blue prays that they don't get caught. The blinds open and the cop looks out. The two boys jump down landing on their feet, JJ picks up the gun and they hop on the boat and drive off. "They took everything like it was a crime scene." Pope says, "did you guys find anything?" Blue says. "Did we find anything? No i don't think so. Oh, Yeah we did." JJ plays it off until he pulls out a wad of cash and a gun, he grins widely. "JJ what the hell? Why would you take that from a crime scene?" Blue asks astonished, Pope and Kiara both yell at him.

The crew sits under the shade on the dock, as cops talk to everyone. "Scooter grubbs he was out during the storm. Check out this pic I got." A random girl shows the five of them, "Dead body." They all make disgusted faces. Leaving the scene, they take the hms pogue back to John B's Chateau. Blue sits on a chair next to JJ, she rests her legs on his knees. "Guys we don't know anything. Complete amnesia." Pope paces back and forth until he sits next to kiara. "Popes right. Deny, deny, deny." JJ points at each of his friends. "Alright, since everything's sorted out, I've got to go check on my mom. JJ you coming?" Blue asks looking into his sky blue eyes. "Yeah, in a bit. I'll catch up with ya." He says not looking at her. "see ya later guys, dinner at my place at 7 if you guys wanna come." She says before turning her back and walking to her house.

Her mother is still cleaning the yard and porch. The light catches her graying hair, which Shauna always blames on the kids. "Darling, where's JJ or john B? I need them to move the big branches to the side." Her mother asks, wiping the sweat off her forehead. "They'll be around for dinner of course." Blue says and lays in the hammock that still stands even after all the storms they've had, this hammock has never fallen. Her mother stands over her looking down. "What's gotten you so down?" she asks her daughter. Blue ignores her, until her mother bumps her. "JJ is just acting weird." She shrugs her eyes still closed. "Honey, he likes you, but you guys have those stupid rules." Her mother chuckles, "Speaking if the devil." Shauna smiles at the blonde boy who's become like her son. Blue watches as JJ hands a large fish to her mother. "Kegger down at the boneyard. Mama S, you don't mind if we sleep over at John B's tonight do you?" JJ asks Shauna. Blue rolls her eyes. "Of course not." She smiles and raises an eyebrow at Blue.

Suddenly Blue is in JJ's arms and the wind blows at her as he runs to the boneyard. The crew is already there drinking. "Pass me a cup." JJ says. Once it starts to get dark more and more people come out to the boneyard, kooks, kids from the cut and the tourons. The boneyard is one of the few places all three classes get along. Everywhere Blue goes she feels JJ's eyes follow her, even as she dances with some of the tourons. Blue flirts with one of the tourons, just as each of the other pogues do. She continues to talk to this guy until she hears shouting from the waters edge. She sees JJ and John B standing in front of Sarah cameron and Topper the richest kooks on the island. Blue watches as JJ and Topper begin to fight. "JJ stop!" She shouts running over to him. Blue and John are successful in getting JJ away from Topper. "Dirty Pogues." Blue gears Topper yell, she turns around just as John pushes Topper. Blue watches from JJ's embrace as Topper throws a punch at John B and he falls to the ground into the shallow water. "Hey John B, don't make me drown you like your old man, alright?" Topper shouts at the boy laying in the water. Blue is fed up with anger and clocks Topper in the face, he swings back and punches her right in the stomach. JJ pulls her back. John B gets back up and the two begin to fight. Blue shields her face into JJ's chest as JJ shouts encouragingly at John B. "He's drowning him." Pope says, Blue looks up and sees her best friend laying face down in the water, Topper over top of him pushing his head in. JJ lets go of Blue and goes over to Topper and puts a gun to his head. "Fuck. JJ put the gun down!" Blue shouts at him, he doesn't listen to anyone's demands. Finally Blue watches as Topper and John stand up. Walking away from the water JJ holds the gun in the air. "Okay, everyone, listen up! Get the hell off our side of the island!" He shouts and shoots the gun in the air.
