Kirra, kie, Jj and pope all sat around the fire and laughed as they talked about their school teachers and began to reference them to wired things like sea monsters and swamp things and they couldn't help but laugh at the things that each of them were saying to each other.

The sun was setting and all of them were sat around a fire o;the beach and JJ had his arm over Kirra's shoulder and she was leaning into him and laughing at something kie had just said

John B sat by himself behind them all and began to think about everything like foster care and his dad and his uncle and Kirra couldn't help but feel bad for the boy. She was always there for him but there really wasn't anything that she could do to help him this time and it hurt her a lot to know that he was hurting

"Do you think that John b is going to be okay?" Kirra whispers into her boyfriends ear and he looked down at her with a soft smile

"Of course he is baby girl. We're all here for him and we aren't going to let anything bad happen to him. He isn't going anywhere I promise" JJ smiled but he himself was also worried about what was going to happen to their best friend and he didn't know how they were going to help him but he knew that they would find a way.


"Are you guys sure about this it looks like it's pretty dangerous" Kirra sighed a she held her surf board tightly against the side of her body as the strong winds almost knocked her off her feet.

They were about to surf in the middle of a hurricane and while Kirra knew that it wasn't safe, she was excited to try and catch the rough waves that were smashing into the shore if the beach

"I know. It's a double over head out there bro" pope says to John b

The guys decided that it would be best not to tell kie or jj about the fact that they were going surfing in the middle of a hurricane since kie would try and stop all of them whereas JJ wouldn't even let Kirra anywhere near the beach while there was a hurricane

"Double overhead?" John B asks as they run out onto the sand as the rain smashed against their skin roughly like bullets

Kirra squint e her eyes as she looked out onto the ocean and the rain began to cloud her vision

They stopped as they notice d a sign on the beach that was telling them that the beach was closed due to there being a hurricane but they didn't care and kept on going anyway

"Come on let's go back, those aren't surfable waves bro" pope says

"Come on pope. It'll be fun!" Kirra smiles "if you don't want to do it that's fine, I'm not going to try and pressure you into it,  ut I'm going out there and I'm pretty su  that John B is too"

"I don't think that JJ would be very happy with John b or I if we let you surf those waves and her would definitely kill us if anything were to happen to you" pope sighs as he looks down at his friend who looked at the ground in thought for a minute before looking back up towards him

"Jj will get over it, nothing is going to happen to me. Besides I wanna get better at surfing for JJ so I can get out there on the big waves with him" Kirra smiled

"You already can get out there on the big waves with him" John B laughs as he looks down at the girl "the two of you are the best surfers I know"

Kirra smiled at him and then he smirked and oat pope o;the shoulder "besides who says that those aren't surfable waves"

They get out in the waves and pope and John b continue to fall of but Kirra somehow manages to stay on most of the waves but falls off on some. She stops as she sits next to John b on the waves and they look over into the ocean and see a white boat battling against the waves

"Hey Johnny do you see that?" Kirra asks as she brushed her hair it of her face and points over to the boat and John nods his head

"What the hell?" He asks in confusion

"We should get back before the storm gets stronger and pushes us out to sea" Kirra says to hm and he nods his head and the three friends begin to make their way back to the shore

"Are you going home tonight or do you wanna stay at my house, JJ should be there tonight" John b says as they throw their board into the back of John bs van

"I'll come back to yours, I can't sleep without JJ so I might as well go there and I don't really want to go home" she sighs

John B and the crew didn't really know much about why Kirra didn't like to go home because she never wanted to talk to them about it and the only person who knew the real reason why she didn't want to go home was her boyfriend  so it wasn't rare to see the couple cuddled up on John Bs couch or spare room.

John B nodded his head and got in the driver seat while Kirra got the passenger seat and pope hopped in the back of the van and they drove to john B's house

After dropping off pope and Once they got to John B's house the two got out of the van and made their way up to John B's door and pushed it open and walked inside and JJ was sitting on the couch sipping a beer and he glar3d at John B as the two walked in and he didn't look towards Kirra

Kirra was worried about her boyfriend so she sat down next to him on the couch "babe what's wrong" she asked and immediately started scanning the boys body for any new bruises

JJ didn't say anything to her and just moved further down the couch away from the girl and she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and sadness

"J, what's wrong. Please tell me. Did I do something?" Kirra asks quietly and John b just stands still and watches to see
what JJ was going to do next

"Nothings wrong Kirra! Yo knowing every boyfriend is just so happy when their girlfriend hangs out with his best friend for a few hours and doesn't tell him where they are going or what they are doing. So nothing is wrong in fact I'm extatic right now" he says to her and she could immediately smell the alcohol on his breath and noticed the pile of beer bottle on the floor next to th  couch

She sighed and stood up and then walked over in front of her boyfriend and then sat down on the couch next to him again and pulled his head ono her chest and she layed them down on the couch and ran her fingers through her hair and he tried t pull away from her "Jj you know that I would never do that to you and neither would John b. I love you and only you, you already know that"

He stopped struggling and he buried his head into her chest and Kirra looked up at John B and motion for him to give them a minute and he nodded his head and left the room

"Did you go home?" Kirra asks him quietly and he nods his head softly and she lets out a soft sigh and tries not to cry. She didn't think she had the right to cry, she wasn't the person that was hurt, Jj was but it killed her to see him in any kind of pain

"You're gonna be okay JJ okay your with me now" she mumbled and kissed th top of his head

"It's you and me princess, you and me" he mumbles

"I love you j" she whispers

"I love you more than you could ever know" he replies and then falls asleep in her arms feeling protected
