Y/n pov
The outer banks has been hit enough from the hurricane did we really need another storm? I watched from my window the dark clouds roll him.
"John B can I go surf?" I asked my big brother. He surfed the surge when the hurricane hit but I sadly was asleep and he didn't wake me up to go so I missed out.
"No I'm not letting you do that!" He said with furrowed brows. I didn't like storms but I loved surfing. So when my dad was still here he had the idea to take me out surfing. It wasn't a big storm but it sure was rough. But it helped me, it got my mind off the storm and I focused more on riding a wave and staying on my board.
"Why not? You surfed the surge!" I said yelling at him. I had the shortest temper. I was worse then JJ. John B sighed.
"This isn't about me. Your not going." He said and threw some dishes in the sink to wash them. I groaned.
"That's so unfair!" I yelled at him and pouted. I just wanted to surf I don't get what's so bad with that.
"What's unfair?" JJ asked walking into the house.
"John B won't let me go surf this storm." I said leaning against the wall with my arms crossed.
"Ya no." JJ said shaking his head. "You could get hurt." He added on.
"I'm not a baby! Dad took me out in a storm just like this!" I said and focused on JB.
"Ya? Well dads dead! He's gone!" John B yelled and turned to face me. JJ went silent and stood there with his mouth agape. Tears pooled in my blue eyes.
I quickly spun around and went to my room, slamming my door in the process. I sat on my bed and cried. John B could think he was dead after listening to the tape recorder but I had to have hope. I was his little girl he wouldn't leave me, he wouldn't leave JB and I.
I cleaned up my tears and looked around my room. My eyes landed on my swimsuit. I could just sneak out the window. My board was behind my door and it could definitely fit through the window opening. I smirked to myself. I just had to sneak out.
Grabbing my board I shoved it out the window first. It landed on the wet grass. I threw a hoodie on. I know it would get wet but it might keep me a tad warm while getting to the beach. I was gonna have to walk there. It was maybe a 10 minute walk.
I was halfway there to the beach when a car pulled up beside me. Please don't be a murderer I begged to god. The window rolled down to Popes dad. He was probably coming home from closing up their store.
"Y/n what are you doing out here?" He asked. Oh shit. My heart beat quickened.
"Oh I was returning this surf board to my friend." I said trying to play it off.
"Why didn't your brother take you?" He asked. God could he just leave me alone.
"He said he was busy." I said with a shrug.
"Well hop in I'll take you there." He said with a smile. I guess it wouldn't hurt.
"Where to?" He asked. I had put my board in the bed of his truck and gotten in the front seat.
"To Clover drive please." I said. I had no friend who lived over there but it was right where I needed to be to surf.
"Well what's the exact house? It's no problem I can take you there." He said.
"Oh well I'd love to have you do that but my friends parents don't know I have the board so I can't really just walk up there you know?" I said continuing my lie. He seemed to believe it. That was the stupidest lie I've ever told someone.
"And don't worry about me getting home. My friend will take me." I said to Hayward. He just nodded.
"Here we are." He said and pulled off to the side of the street.
"Thanks sir! Bye now." I said and got out of his truck as fast as I could. I grabbed my board and ran off down the road.
There it was. The waves crashing into the shore. This was gonna be fun! I smiled to myself and tied my board to my ankle. I took off my hoodie and looked around. Not a single person in sight. Perfect.
The water was cold but I could handle it. I've done this before so I knew I'd get use the coldness soon. A wave loomed ahead of me. It was the perfect wave. I turned my board around and paddled as fast as I could. Once I got on the wave I stood up. The wind flying my wet hair back. Goosebumps littered my skin from the wind. I screamed in delight. This was it. The rest of my life could be like this and I'd love it.
Soon the wave died out and I dove back into the water. I probably surfed for two hours. My finger tips were wrinkly and I was getting tired. I guess time to head in. Lighting cracked above me when I reached the sand. I needed to get away from the water. I hadn't realized how bad the storm got when I was out there. I grabbed my soaking wet hoodie and placed my board under my arms. I started to walk back home. It probably would take me longer this time, I was tired and walking extra slow. Only in my bikini and my wet hair down my back I probably looked insane.
"Hey! Girl! Hey!" I heard someone yelling. I stopped and looked at my surroundings. Topper. He stood on his front porch and was waving his hands in the air.
"Hey what are you doing?" He yelled through the rain. I looked around and I was the only one out so I guess he was talking to me.
I walked up his driveway.
"Y/n?" He asked when I stood under the light. "Jesus Christ why are you outside?" He asked.
"I went surfing." I said with a shrug.
"Topper What is-." I heard a women's voice. His mother.
"Oh my gosh! Topper let the poor girl inside!" She said and ushered me in. I stood there dripping wet on there hard wood floor.
"I'm gonna get some towels." His mom said.
"Thank you." I mumbled.
"Y/n you could've gotton hurt." Topper said and inspected my arms and face. It made me laugh.
"I'm fine just cold and wet." I said with a smile.
"Does John B know your out here? And how'd you get to this side in the storm?" He asked me.
"No JB doesn't know I'm here and Popes dad saw me walking and offered a ride." I said shrugging. His mom came back down and gave me a fluffy white towel. Wow it was soft. We only had rough and some were ripped towels back home.
"These look like nice towels a-are you sure I can use it?" I asked her and started to shiver from the cold.
"These are just towels? What do you mean? And yes you can use it." She said confusion lacing her words.
I guess this was the life of a kook.
"Mom y/n here is John B younger sister." Topper said. He didn't want to call me a pogue. Him and I always sneaked glances each other's way but never acted on our feelings. I'll admit he was hot.
"Oh. Well um. It's just a towel no biggy. Why don't topper show you the guest room?" She said and looked over at him.
"Oh no it's ok I just need a ride home." I said.
"Y/n no one is driving in this storm just stay here tonight." Topper said. John B was gonna worry. I just nodded and mumbled an ok.

"So here you are." Topper said showing me a bedroom.
"Why does the guest room have your trophy's on the mantle?" I joked and looked at him.
"Well um this is my room. You told me on time that you were afraid of storms so I thought you'd want to sleep with me. Not like sleep with me but next to me." He said and went on and on. I laughed.
"I got it. And how did you remember that?" I asked him. I probably told him that more then 5 years ago. He shrugged.
"I remember everything you told me about you. Because...because I like you." He said and stepped closer to me. We were inches apart.
"I should Um go shower." I said backing up. I wanted to kiss him so bad but something was holding me back. I was afraid of what the pogues would think of me. John B would be livid if I kissed topper. What if topper didn't even like me and I was just imagining things.

"Topper?" I called from inside the bathroom that was connected to his room. "I need cloths." I said and walked out of the bathroom. I had the fluffy towel wrapped around me. I saw him look me up and down.
"Hey top?" I asked him. He quickly looked up.
"Hmm?" He asked.
"My eyes are up here." I said pointing to them and laughed at him. He blushed.
"Oh right. Sorry! And you uh need cloths. Well I guess a long sleeve and shorts would work?" He asked me. It was a coral long sleeve and athletic shorts that seemed to be his moms.
"These were my sisters but they don't fit her anymore they should fit you." He said. I forgot he had an older sister. She was in her late 20s with kids and a husband. She lived on the mainland though.
"Thank you." I said and took them inside the bathroom to change.
"So how do I look?" I joked coming out of the bathroom. His coral shirt reached right below my butt.
"Uh um." He coughed. "Good!" He said and gave me a small smile. I sat on the bed next to him. We were inches apart again.
"Topper?" I asked him. He looked me in the eyes.
"Ya?" He asked back.
"I need to tell you something. And I can't hide it anymore." I said in just above a whisper. We wouldn't break our eye contact.
"I like you. Like more then a friend." I said and fiddled my fingers in my lap. I saw a toothy grin take over his face. He quickly put his hands on my face and pulled me in for a kiss.
He broke away and I looked at him surprised. That was an amazing kiss.
"I like you too." He smiled and we kissed again.
I ran my hands through his hair and tugged at the ends. He pushed me back in his bed and held my body close to him.
"Fuck." He mumbled into my neck and kissed down my neck and shoulder.
"Topper wait." I said and pushed him back a little. "What are we? Like label wise." I asked him.
He seemed to think for a moment.
"Your my girlfriend. I'm your boyfriend. How about that?" He asked smiling at me. I nodded quickly.
"Hell ya." I said pulling him back into a kiss. It was getting heated. I knew were this would lead to tonight and I didn't regret one thing.
