Stella Carter was somewhat the Hannah Montana of the Outerbanks, she had the best of both worlds. Although, without the good relationships with the Kooks.
When the Summer she was promised to have a good time the whole time, became a task to survive...
𝓐S much as Stella didn't want to admit it to herself, especially not to the boys, she was overjoyed with scuba diving. The water sport itself she didn't like as much as she thought she would've, but spending time with the boys was what made it better. Of course, she knew if Kiara and Pope were there, it would've made her day the best of Summer so far.
"You're just gonna drop them off empty?" Stella asked John B as she squeezed the water out of her hair over the edge of the boat, looking at all of the equipment on the small white boat. ("Yeah?") John B spoke as if it should've been known. "Won't it get you fired?" She furrowed her brows.
"When did you start caring? Have you forgotten we stole them off the Cameron's? Top of the food chain," JJ chuckled slightly, pushing his blonde wet hair back before he set a cap on top of it. ("JJ your hair won't dry properly with that on,") She rolled her eyes. "Hasn't stopped me all the other times,"
"Will you just help me put it in?" She referred to the gear and bent down, waiting for JJ to join her until she looked up at him and saw the grin on his face. ("That's what she said,") JJ teased whilst John B joined in the laughter. Stella glanced between the boys, biting down on her bottom lip. ("C'mon, you know you found that funny,") JJ added as he continued to laugh.
The brunette only rolled her eyes and stuck up her middle finger, bursting into laughter until that was all the three heard. "Okay! Okay! Stop being children and help me," She finished off and motioned her head towards the bag, ("Yes, ma'am") JJ told her and began to help.
Sooner than later, the dock closest to Stella's house was approaching them. "Hey, Stell. You want to come with or shall we pick you up when the kicker starts?" John B shouted over to her as she pulled her top over her head and stood up. ("Go with you to drop off stolen stuff? Easy pass,") She laughed.
Stella began to climb out of the boat, turning around to the two boys. She caught onto JJ's stares and puffed up her cheeks, placing her hands onto her waist as she slowly turned her head to the side. "John B, don't you think it would be easier if you just went yourself? I mean, you almost got caught last time," She said.
John B looked between JJ and Stella and opened his mouth to say something, stopping as he awkwardly chuckled. "Okay," He nodded and watched as JJ swiftly got out of the boat with no hesitation. "Remember the rules, no Pogue-on-Pogue macking," He shouted to them as Stella laughed and JJ smirked.
The girl began to walk up the wooden plank, glancing back as she raised her brows to JJ who stared at her. "Are you coming or what?" She shouted and watched the blonde chase after her, a smile spreading on her face. "We can hang out in the Summer house? I don't know if my parents are at home," She sighed.
"Sounds good," He told her. Stella only smiled and shook her head, taking his cap off and placing it on top of her head as he smiled back.
The duo laughed as Stella began to open the door to the Summer house, freezing when she saw her dad already sat in there. Except it wasn't the clean area it used to be, a mattress on the floor, ash trays and a shit loud of mess. She put her hand behind her and gestured for the boy to leave, walking into the House herself. "Dad? What are you doing in here?"
The man suddenly turned around from the messy desk and coughed slightly, frowning his brows. "Your mother and I are having troubles at the moment, sweetheart. Nothing like before, so you don't have to worry," He began as soon as he saw his daughter frown.
Stella only sighed before walking over to her dad, the girl didn't hesitate to wrap her arms around him. "I love you, dad," She whispered and pulled away with a short smile. ("I love you too, Kiddo,") He told her.
"Now, tell JJ he needs to grow a pair - and to find a better hiding spot!" He yelled with his last words whilst Stella smiled and shook her head, waving her byes to her father as she turned to JJ who looked both embarrassed and scared.
"He still hates me?" JJ asked without hesitating. Stella only laughed slightly and wrapped her arms around the boy, "My dad doesn't hate anyone," She lied to him and smiled.
"You're so ludicrous anyway! You're a Pogue, hide like one," She then teased whilst he put his sunglasses over his eyes. ("I love it when you speak Spanish,") He grinned.
