Outer Banks ~ JJ Maybank

<11>

In the middle of the movie, I saw JJ and Pope looking around. "What is up with you two? You're looking hella sus." "We gotta piss but they are blocking the bathrooms." "Don't be pussies." "You say that until you get beat up with a golf club." "Then hold it." "I can't." Pope said. "Shit, I'm not coming with you guys." "Fine. Come on Pope." JJ said getting up and walking away. "Where are you guys going?" Kie asked. "We gotta ring it out." "Are you gonna hold it for each other?" She said, but they had already walked away. "And they make fun of us for going to the bathroom with each other." I said rolling my eyes. A few minutes had passed and I saw Topper, Rafe, and that guy that always hangs around them get up and walk over to where JJ and Pope were. Something felt off to me so I got up, careful not to draw attention to myself. Kie was watching the movie and didn't seem to notice me grabbing JJ's bag and walking away. 

I found a tree to stand behind and I tried to listen to what was happening. I couldn't hear very well so I moved one tree closer. I couldn't hear anyone talking, all I heard were grunts and grass. It was hard to make out who has who but I definitely could tell something bad was happening. Suddenly, the light from the movie got really bright and I saw Rafe, Topper, and their friend tackling and punching JJ and Pope. I couldn't contain myself anymore and I grabbed something out of the bag and ran over. "Knock it out." "Oh hello Princess." Rafe said, standing up but still keeping his foot on Pope. "I believe you and i have some unfinished business to attend to." "In your dreams." "If we were in my dreams, you would be begging for me right now." "You're a piece of shit!" JJ said, trying to throw Topper off of him and get at Rafe. "I don't think you want to do that JJ." Topper said, punching him square in the mouth. "Top, let me have him, you take this one." "I have a name." Pope said. "I don't care." Topper said, pulling him off the ground and shoving him back down. I looked over and saw Rafe choking JJ. "Rafe, knock that shit off!" "What are you gonna do about it? Your little boy toy can't help you right now." "Knock that shit off." "Or what?" I pulled out the gun and turned the safety off. "How about do it, or I'll fucking kill you."

"Even in the dark I still have a killer aim." I said, waving it around carelessly. "You wouldn't." Topper said, now also joining in the choking party, his hands around Pope's neck. "What makes you so sure of that Topper?" I said walking over to him, waving the gun around. "Shit dude. We gotta get out of here." He said, dropping Pope and running away. "So Rafe, death by Pogue or giving up?" "You're lying." I grabbed him by the shoulder and held the gun up to the back of his head. "Am I Rafe?" I felt his shoulders tense up. "Now, drop JJ, and get the fuck out of here." "Gabbie?" Kie said, running into view. "Holy shit!" She said, obviously seeing everything. "Now's not a great time Kie. Just, go make sure Pope is okay." She nodded and ran over to Pope. "So Rafe, made your decision?" He dropped JJ and put his hands up. "Smart. Now get lost."  I said, moving the gun away from him and turning the safety back on. Rafe walked away, sighing as he went.

The second he was gone, I dropped to the ground and check on JJ. "JJ? Are you okay?" He didn't move. "JJ?" I said, suddenly starting to feel my heart rate speed up. "JJ?" I said, shaking him. He groaned and looked up at me. "Are you okay?" "Yeah." He said, weakly. He slowly sat up and I threw my arms around him, pushing him back onto the ground. "Thank god."  I said, holding onto him tightly. He wrapped his arms around me and held me tight. We let go of each other and before the other one could think, our lips were on each others. We quickly went from a normal kiss to making out and forgot about everything and everyone for a short moment. Kie cleared her throat. We suddenly broke apart and looked up at her and Pope. "No one says anything to John B." "Okay."  Kie and Pope said, walking away. I looked over at JJ and he had a smirk on his face. "What?" "Nothing." He said getting up and grabbing my hand. I just rolled my eyes and we walked back to the chairs.

"Just so you guys know, if a normal person wants to tell the person they like that they like them, they just say it." "But if pulling a gun on Rafe Cameron for the other one does it for you, good job." "Would we call that saying we like each other?" "Yes." Pope and Kie said. "Well that's not really for you to know." "Feisty." JJ said picking up our small ice chest. I rolled my eyes and shoved him a little. "Are you gonna drive the van to my house or should we leave it at the restaurant?" I looked over at JJ as he loaded the ice chest into the back of the van. "I actually think I'm gonna take the van tonight." "You are gonna sleep in the van?" "Not the first time I've done it." "Are you gonna leave it running all night?" "No." "good cause it's-" "Bad for the Earth. I know. I have battery power fans hidden under the seats. I'll be fine." "Okay. ill see you tomorrow morning for shopping." "Yay shopping." I said, sarcastically. "Yay shopping." Kie said with the same tone. "See you later." I said walking over to the van. "Alright, you're all set." JJ said closing the door to the van. "Cool." "So where are you staying tonight since DCS probably has your house staked out?"  "The van. Wanna join?" "What?" "I don't want to sleep alone in the back of a car. That's just sad." "I feel like it's sad either way." "We can get stoned if you want." "Fuck it. I'm down." He said flinging open the passenger side door and climbing in. I laughed a little as I climbed into the drivers seat and drove off.
