(why do almost all of my titles start with 's' ??)

"I really need this scholarship." Pope stressed.

"We know you do, but we have to go and make sure John B is alright, he's going crazy becauses of all the stress from the DCS guys." Kie explained.

"Can I not miss out on this one? Just this. I really need to study for the test I'm taking tomorrow." Pope pleaded.

"I can't believe you would just push John to the side like that. He needs our help, what is wrong with you?! You're so selfish, just thinking about yourself and your STUPID scholarship." Kie said, raising her voice.

"I mean, he has been working on this for years now Kie." I pointed out.

"Oh so now you're on his side too? Us Pogues need to look out for each other! Does that not mean anything to anyone anymore?!" Kie yelled.

JJ pulled me over to the side.
"I can't believe I'm coming up with a solution that doesn't involve a gun, but why don't you go help Pope study and I'll go with Kie and find John." he whispered.

"Sounds good." I giggled.

JJ was my best friend out of all of the Pogues, we had grown up together and I knew everything about him, like he knew everything about me.

We returned back to the argument.

"Guys! Stop arguing and listen." JJ shouted.

"Look, I'll go with you Pope, and Kie you go with J." I stated.

"Still abandoning John B are we Y/n?" Kie said.

"Even you said that the Pogues need to look out for each other. This scholarship means a lot to Pope and he's just as important as John." I explained, trying hard to keep my composure.

"Whatever, okay fine." she huffed.

JJ came up behind me and gave me a reassuring squeeze on my shoulders, and then went off with Kie.

"Thanks Y/n." Pope smiled.

"It's alright, I know how much this means to you." I shrugged, "Now come on, let's go to the library."

We sat down and he went onto one of the computers to research his project.
I honestly had no idea what he was doing, something to do with the science of dead bodies? But I tried to help out as much as possible.

[ He had applied for an online school, and he got in, which was more than any of us other Pogues who just kinda ignored school in general and skipped it. He had tests every now and again, and usually he was fine and we didn't even know he had them most of the time, but John B's dad had gone missing and on top of that, social workers were constantly coming to his house to get him into foster care. We tried to help John as much as we could so Pope didn't have as much focus on his schooling. ]

"Thanks again for helping me, I feel so much more confident with all of this now." Pope smiled.

"Yeah sure, anytime. But I'm sure you're gonna smash this test." I reassured him.

He nodded, and we left the library.

"We could go and check on John B now. If you wanted to?" he suggested.

"Aw, you're a good guy Pope." I said, picking up my phone. "I'll call J and find out where they all are."

* on the phone *

Y/n - Hey! Where are you guys? Me and Pope just finished working on h-

JJ - Y/n, we can't find John. We're really worried about him.
