Temptations - Outerbanks (JJ)

Chapter 1 - Kegger

My goal this summer was to have fun doing whatever I want whenever I want with zero drama whatsoever.

And I had a good thing going for most of it, but sadly we can't get exactly what we wish for. Even If we're a god, damn Kook.

I'm sure you're just dying to know what in the hell I'm talking about. Looks like you're in luck. Grab some popcorn ladies and gentlemen cause this is about to get interesting.

Interestingly fucked.

"Summer where the hell are you" I hear my annoying brother yell from downstairs. I get out of bed and walk to the railing. "up here dufus and you didn't have to yell. You could've just walked your ass up here" I say to him.

"See I could've done that but you and I both know you haven't gotten out of bed all day. You need the exercise." My jaw drops. "How dare you. I went downstairs to get water like 20 minutes ago"

"Yeah and then went straight back to bed. Let's face it summer you've become a slug. When was the last time you left this house?"

"Uh, I know mom and dad dropped you on your head as a baby, but I went with you, dad, and Molly last weekend to that uncomfortably boring dinner party." I put my hands on my hips. "Yeah, you've been in this house for a solid week. You need to get out. You got back from school Two weeks ago and you barely leave the house. Go out make friends. You're going to have to at some point"

Sadly he's right. I moved in a few weeks ago and I think I've made an effort to leave the house a solid 4 times at the most. I'm not in the mood to do anything lately. I just wanna go home.

I miss California. I miss my friends. I miss my mom. I still don't completely understand why I had to move out here anyway. I get that my mother was struggling with money, but I could've easily gotten another job to help her out, but instead she sents me to live with my narcissistic father and his bimbo wife.

The only person I can stand to be around is Topper. Although he's technically my half-sibling, I see him as my brother. He's been the only person in my family other than my mother to be there for me. 

Sure, he can be a total jackass 75% of the time but the other 25% of the time he has a caring heart. I might not be living here today if it wasn't for him. I owe him everything, but I'd never let him know that. His ego's already big enough. 

I just roll my eyes at his comment.

"Speaking of going out. That's exactly why I needed to talk to you. Sarah found of there's a kegger at the boneyard right now and is begging me to ask you to come." He says and I laugh. "Sounds like your girlfriend has taken a liking to me. Your lucky I'm straight and a girl or I'd steal her from you faster than you can say, Sarah Cameron"

"shut up" He's getting tired of me I can tell. "So are you coming or not?" 

Should I go? probably.

Do I want to? nope.

Eh. I mean maybe I should take Topper's advice and meet some new people. It's not like I'm leaving anytime soon.

What the hell.

"Yes, but I'm not riding with you and Sarah. I don't want to third wheel you two love birds" I say.

He nods his head and I turn on my heels. I should probably change out of my Nike sweats and a tank top. I'm not the type to dress up but I at least want to look presentable.

I put on black denim shorts and pair them with a cropped grey ACDC tank. I grab my keys and glasses but check to make sure I look alright in the mirror before I leave.
