Baby Blue // Outer Banks

hawk's nest

As soon as John B parks the van Pope and JJ slide the door open. "Hit it, boys! We're goin'. Recon mission!" JJ shouts excitedly. Blue looks at him and laughs. "Yo, uh...so, I think i'm gonna do this one by myself." John B states looking worried. Kiara looks at him and rolls her eyes. Pope and JJ get back in the van and close the door. "Really?" JJ asks as he puts his arm around Blue. "Look, I just don't want to spook Sarah with the peanut gallery." John B explains. Blue knows it's actually because he doesn't want them to scare Sarah off. "I don't understand why we're involving her at all." Kiara snaps at him. "Kie, we're not involving her, okay? It's, it's just like a business meeting." He explains to her. Pope, JJ and Blue ignore the two bantering, the three laughs at whatever JJ is doing. "Anyways, um, I'm gonna take care of business." John B says to everyone this time. "You're gonna take care of it." "So, we'll just sit here and wait." JJ and Pope speak over top of each other.

The four sit in the burning hot van sweating. "Kie, what did Sarah even do?" Blue questions, Sarah seems nice from what Blue's seen. "Yeah, Kiara, holding onto your grudge is like drinking poison and thinking Sarah will die." Pope says after Kiara didn't answer Blue's question. "Have you guys seriously not listened to a single word i've said about her? Do you not trust me?" Kiara says angrily. "Kie, of course we trust you, if you say she's bad then she's bad. Pogues for life." Blue shrugs, still itching to know what really happened between the two girls. JJ lights up a joint and offers it around, "Let me hit it." Blue says jokingly. "Absolutely not." JJ replies, remembering what happened the first and last time she ever got high. It was a couple months ago, the crew was hanging out at John B's just having fun, Blue took a couple hits of JJ's joint and she completely lost it, she was paranoid and anxious, a complete mess. "I was joking, never will I ever smoke again." Blue laughs. The four sit in silence after that, just waiting for John B to come back with the map. Blue hears a scream from the distance. "Wait did you guys hear that?" She questions sitting up straight. "What?" Pope questions looking around. "Somebody help!" A girls voice shouts from the distance. "Oh, wait, no, I hear that." JJ says immediately getting out of the van followed by the two girls and Pope.

The four run to the lookout tower and see Sarah over top of John B's body on the sand. "Sarah! What happened?" Pope asks running to them. They can hear Sarah's loud sobs. "I don't know what to do. He needs help. Topper shoved him." She cries looking up at the crew. Blue stares down at John B's body, he quietly groans and her heart drops. "Where is he?" JJ snaps angrily. Blue looks at him and shakes her head. "Not the time, J. We need to help John B." She says as tears form in her eyes and roll down her cheeks. "I don't care who, just call someone." Sarah begs, she holds John B's head in her lap. Blue stands there feeling as if she's frozen, she watches Sarah sob and kiss John B. Blue now knows that Sarah really loves him, she knows that it's not just a game to either of them.

Blue doesn't know how she got home, but she wakes in her bed next to JJ, she prays that the events from the night before are just a nightmare. "Good morning, beautiful." JJ whispers looking at Blue. "I had the weirdest dream last night, John B was like dead on the ground and Sarah Cameron was th-" Blue says rubbing her head as if she's trying to get the memory out. "Babe, that wasn't a dream. John B's at the hospital, right now." JJ says slowly giving Blue the chance to digest the fact that it wasn't a dream. "How did we get home?" She asks confused. She remembers staring at John B and Sarah and feeling frozen, but nothing after that. "You fainted before an ambulance even came. Pope and Kie are in the living room sleeping." He explains. Blue sits there digesting all the information. It was a fairly normal day, they were going to find the gold and then everything that could go wrong went wrong. "Okay, so let's go to the hospital." Blue suggests as she climbs over JJ to get out of bed. She changes into new clothes and walks out of her room into the living room where Pope and Kiara are already awake. Blue keeps walking out the door and to the van. "Where is she going?" Pope questions. JJ shrugs. "Apparently we're off to the hospital." He chuckles walking out of the door as well and waits on the porch for Kiara and Pope, he locks the door behind them.

Blue already sits in the passenger side of the van, Kiara and Pope get in the back. "Dude, are you okay?" Kiara asks Blue, who stares at the road in front of her. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Blue answers too happy, everyone can tell it's fake. "Uh, cause you're acting a little weird." Pope adds in. "No i'm not. Perfectly normal. It's not like the closest thing i've got to a brother is in the hospital with god knows what injuries and like could be dead for all we know." Blue speaks fast, not stopping to breath. JJ keeps his eyes on the road and puts on hand on Blues leg. "She's fine. It's just how Blue deals with things she can't control. She gets antsy." JJ chuckles. "I do not get antsy." Blue snaps. "Yeah, you do." Pope nods agreeing with JJ.

JJ parks the van in front of the hospital and they all pile out. Blue leads the group as they walk in the doors and up to the front desk. "Where is John Routledges room?" Blue asks the nurse at the desk. She checks her computer screen. "He's been discharged." The nurse says not taking her eyes off the screen. Blue stands there staring at her. "Anything else I can do for you?" The nurse asks uncomfortable as Blue stands there staring. "No, that's all, thank you." JJ answers and pulls Blue away from the desk and out the door. "I'm so sick of John B going MIA." Kiara sighs as she slams the van door shut. "We should make it a drinking game. Every time someone asks where's John B, we take a drink." JJ laughs. "Dude, I don't think there's enough alcohol in the world for that."
