Oh Honey,
I'd walk through fire for you,
Just let me adore you
Shaye Bennett.
That name brings up a lot of controversy in Outer Banks.
To the Pogues, she's family.
To the Kooks, she's a traitor.
To JJ, she's everything.
*I do not own Outer Banks...

Shaye walked into her house that night with a raging headache. Why was Big John's compass in Scooter Grubb's boat? All of it was too much. Rubbing a hand over her face, she heard her mom call out "Shailene? Is that you?"
"Yeah" Shaye called out internally groaning.
Jeanette Bennett stormed in the room and looked at her with disgust. "Where have have you been?" her voice cut through all of her lingering thoughts.
"I was at John B's mom"
Sticking her finger in Shaye's face her mom continued "There was a hurricane Shailene! Do you think you have the right to just leave whenever you want" she seethed
Shaye just rolled her eyes and leaned against the banister. "I'm always at John B's. How would this time be any different?"
"I have had it !" Jeanette shouted making her flinch. "You are an embarrassment! Do you know what kind of shame it is to tell the Deputy that my daughter is hanging out with the people you do? Are you not embarrassed? Should I remind you that I've met your little friend JJ before? He's trash!" She screamed shaking her wine bottle for emphasis.
"Don't you dare talk about him like that! You don't know him! You don't know any of them." Shaye yelled
Jeanette scoffed. "Trust me Shailene, I know trash when I see it. Just because you have a thing for this boy doesn't mean he's all sunshine and butterflies. Do you really think he hangs out with you because he likes you? Get it through your head that those people only talk to you because you have money."
Shaye was shaking with anger at this point. What gives her the right to talk about JJ like that? Her JJ. "You know absolutely nothing. You know nothing about him. And you never will." Shaye answered her voice dangerously low.
"Okay, but when he breaks your heart and you see him exactly for what he is, don't come crying to me."
Shaye didn't answer, instead she just stormed upstairs to her room and slammed the door hard. Letting out a frustrated scream she landed on her bed and put her head in her hands. She didn't know her friends. She didn't know JJ. She didn't understand their late night talks and rant sessions. She would never understand her and JJ. Never.
Putting her head on her pillows, she closed her eyes and let out a sigh. Tomorrow. Tomorrow she would see her people and talk through everything. She would see JJ and feel better. He always made her feel better. Closing her eyes she let sleep overtake her.
The next day it took forever to get her mom to let her leave. "I'm leaving mom!" She said opening the door.
Jeanette was almost blackout drunk. "Whatever. Be back tonight or we are taking it up with your father when he gets home."
