Rule breakers // Outerbanks

/19/ The bell tower

When they ran off, Pope, JJ, Kiara and Isla found shelter somewhere in a shed behind the airway, waiting for the coast to be clear.

"Hey guys."
Isla said while looking up in the sky.

"What?"
Kiara asked and looked above as well, JJ did the same.

"Well, there goes the gold."
JJ sighed looking at the airplane filled with the royal merchant leaving the island.

"Shit"
Pope groaned and walked back, hands in his hair.
JJ kicked a plastic chair in anger while Pope threw around  some random shit, seeming even angrier than JJ was, which was new.

"Pope"
Kiara said, but Pope just continued throwing with stuff, yelling at the top of his lungs, punching stuff with a baseball bat he found.
He looked like some type of maniac.

Kiara looked at Isla with worry in her eyes.
"Pope! Calm the fuck down!"
Isla yelled at him, but he continued by throwing away a trashcan, after that he sat down on a bench, trying to catch his breath, tears forming in his eyes.

"Pope."
Kiara said softly as she walked towards him.

"Yeah dude, I was wondering when this was gonna happen."
JJ said, he looked at Isla and circled his fingers, hinting for her to turn around.

Even though Isla was confused as to why he wanted her to, she still turned around, her back in front of JJ.

He walked closer to her and she felt his hands heading down to her ass.
"Don't even think about it!"
She spatted, slapping his hands away.

"Chill, just let me-"
JJ said and quickly grabbed a joint from her back-pocket.

It wasn't what Isla expected him to do, but she was fine with it.

"Here you go, chief."
JJ said, handing the joint to Pope.
Pope just looked at him with a declining face.

"A little weed never hurt no one."
JJ said to him.

"JJ"
Kiara said.

"Relax, kie."
JJ replied.

"You know he doesn't smoke."
Kiara stated, causing Pope to grab the joint from JJ's hands, looking at it a little hesitant.

"Just do it, it'll lower the stress."
Isla told him and handed her lighter to him.

"Pope, yeah what is that gonna help?"
Kiara asked when Pope brought the joint closer to his lips.

"I lost my scholarship. Walked out in the middle of the interview. It's gone. It's not gonna happen."
Pope explained.

"You did that for us?"
Kiara asked.

"No, not for us. For nothing."
Pope said, standing up and looking at kie.

"I'm here for you Pope, welcome to our world."
JJ said wrapping his arm around pope and handing him the joint again.

"JJ"
Kiara warned.

"What, Kie? He's right. It doesn't matter anymore."

And with that, Pope placed the joint between his lips and lit it on fire.

"You don't have to do that."
Kie sighed.

"What do you care?"
Pope asked, blowing out the smoke. Isla then heard footsteps nearing them and they all quickly turned around, revealing John B standing in front of them.

His friends all ran towards him, relieved he was okay.

"Dude, you good?"
JJ asked.
