John B flicked th light switch multiple times before coming to the conclusion;that thy had lost all power in the hurricane that had occurred the previous day

He walked towards the back door and noticed Kirra and JJ on the couch sleeping I;each other's arms.

JJ was shirtless and Kirra was in his shirt. Jj was laying on his stomach with his arm wrapped over Kirra's waist and and she was tucked into his side comfortably

"Yo Kirra, JJ have either of you been outside" John B asks and smacks JJ on the back of the leg lightly

"I have Polio bro. I can't walk. And besides Kirra's still passed out so I'm not gonna wake her" JJ mumbles into the pillow as he stares down at his girlfriend with tired yet loving eyes

John B doesn't say anything and then walks out of the house to see what kind of damage the hurricane did

Kirra moved slightly as a low rumble of thunder can be heard from outside and her eyes open slowly

"You look so beautiful when you sleep" JJ mumbled to his girlfriend and kissed her on th side Of the head

"I look like a gremlin" she laughed and let a yawn out while snuggling closer to JJ and his grip around her tightened slightly

"You're the most beautiful thing I have ever seen" he whispers to her and her cheeks go warm

"Well I guess I should buy you a mirror so you can change that" she mumbles

"Did you just call me beautiful" he asks with a smirk

"Yeah I did. Have you got a problem with that" she smirks cheekily and then hides her face into his arm

"We should get up and see if John B needs help with anything" Kirra mumbles

"Nah, let's just stay here with you in my arms all day" he replies

"JJ we should help John b" she sighs

He lets out a large groan of annoyance and then gets up of the couch and helps her up off the couch and intertwines their fingers before walking out th front door of John B's house and looking at the giant mess that the hurricane left behind

"Agatha did some work huh?" JJ states and looks at all of the nocked Down trees and fences

"Yeah she did" John B replies

JJ takes a sip of his beer from last night and lets out a burp and Kirra rolls h3 eyes and turns to the boy who towered over her

"You shouldn't be drinking this early in the morning" she sighs

"Sorry baby" he mumbles and puts the can down on a table next to him

John B begins to take sticks out of the HMS Pogue

"What ya thinking" JJ ask and walks towards John b and pulls Kirra along with him gently

"I'm thinking that the storm surge pushed all the crabs out on the marsh maze" John B states "all those drum are gonna chase the crab"

"What about the DCS? wasn't that today?" jj asks

"Nah they're not getting on a ferry" John B said "come on think about it. It's god telling us to fish"

"I'm an atheist" Kirra mumbled under her breath

"Let's go Kirra, don't be such a princess" John B laughed

"She's my princess" JJ said and raised his eyebrows

"God you are so cheesy" Kirra laughs and then let's go of his hand and begins to walk over to the house and then grab her helmet of the porch and threw her body over her motor cycle

"Where Are You going?" Jj Called out and immediately ran over to her like a lost puppy

"I gotta go home and get changed jj and get something for me to drink that isn't alcohol" she laughs and kisses him quickly and then puts her helmet on "Hey John B can you grab me from my boat harbour" she yells out and John b gives her a thumbs up and then she smiles and starts her bike and then does a wheelie as she shoves it into first gear and then quickly into second and rides off towards her house

She pulls into the driveway and quickly shuts off her bike and quietly goes around the side of her house and begins to climb the large vine wall that lead up to her window and she pulled herself through the small window and looked around at her room. Her room wasn't in the same condition that she left it in, clothes were ripped out of her drawers pillows were thrown around the floor and the picture of her and jj was smashed on the floor.

She carefully bent Dow;and picked up the picture and smiled at it as she observed it. In the picture she was smiling at the camera where JJ was smiling down at her with a giant grin on his face and it wasn't a fake one that he often out on to hide the horrors that he faced at home. She sighed and placed the photo back on her bedside table which is where it was meant to be and then she got changed into a light blue bikini and then threw on a pair of shorts and one of JJ's shorts over the top of it.

She contemplated for a minute before finally deciding on opening,her bedroom door and slowly going down the stairs. It was unlikely that her dad was home, he only came home every now and then and Kirra didn't want to be there when,he was there. And her mum left when she was two and her dad blamed her since

She keeps down the stairs and began to look around the house to make sure that her dad wasn't home. Empty beer bottles were littered across the floor and light snores could be heard from the lounge room

"Shit" she whispered and then walked over to the fridge quietly and opened it up and began to shove a few cans of coke into her back pack and then she began to go over to the door and just as she opened it she heard her dad call out to her

"Kirra is that you" he asks and she freezes and doesn't move or say anything

"Well are you gonna answer me you stupid woman" he yells frustratedly

"S-Sorry dad, Yeah I-it's me" she stuttered and then his body came into view as he stands, leaning against the door frame watching her

"And where are you off to so fast" he growls

"My friends are coming to pick me up" she replies and doesn't break eye contact with him,

" I hope you aren't still hanging out with those filthy pogues and that dirty Mayfield boy" he says

"They aren't filthy and JJ isn't dirty" she mumbles under her breath and looks down at the ground

"What did you say to me" he asks and begins to walk closer to her

"Don't talk about my friends like that and especially don't talk about JJ like that" she says confidently even though she was freaking out on the inside

She falls to the ground in pain and grips her cheek as a red hand print starts to form on her face

"You're a kook. Stop acting like a filthy low life! No wonder your mother left. You disgusted her" he spat and she didn't say anything and tears fell from her face onto the floor

"I'm sorry" she whispers

"Pathetic" he mumbles and then walks off

Kirra quickly stands up off the floor and then runs out of the house and runs out onto the dock waiting for John B and the others to come pick her up
