We're the Pogues, and our mission this summer is to have a good time, all the time.

TW⚠️MENTION OF SUICIDE AND SOME MENTIONS OF ABUSE⚠️
Y/N's POV:

My heartbeat increases as I watch John B attempt to balance on the roof of the house that we were currently trespassing on, beer in one hand and checking the wind with the other.

"That's what, a three-story fall to the deck?" said Pope, one our best friends, as he also watched John B continue his acts of idiocy.  "I give you about a one-in-three chance of survival."

"Should I do it?" asks John B, looking around at the rest of us.

"No!" I exclaim, the same time as Pope said "Yeah, I'll shoot you on the way down" whilst holding a drill.

I roll my eyes and mutter "Boys." under breath thinking no one can hear me until JJ says "Lighten up Y/N, you need to learn to live a little!"

I reply by saying "How do you expect to live if you keep on doing stuff that is just gonna get you killed?"

Before he could reply, our friend Kiara ( we call her Kie) walks out of the house with a look of annoyance on her face. "They're gonna have Japanese toilets with towel warmers."

"Of course they are Kie, they're Kooks, did you expect anything less?" I ask, taking a sip of beer.

"This used to be a turtle habitat, but who cares about the turtles, I guess?"

"We care about the turtles Kie, thats what matters." I said, returning the smile she gave me.

"Can you please not kill yourself?" Kie said, looking up to John B who was still balancing on the roof, despite my previous exclamations. "I've already tried telling him, he doesn't listen to me, not him or JJ and then, when they DO get hurt, I have to deal with all of their whining." I spoke, sending daggers both John B's and JJ's way.  All I got in return was a smile from JJ whose focus then shifted to John B, or more appropriately his beer.

"Don't spill that beer. I'm not giving you another one" and almost like he jinxed him, John B shouts, "Whoa! Oh, shit" whilst accidentally dropping his beer on the deck.

"Well, I'm glad it was only the beer and not you" I said, looking up at John B with a small smile on my face, which he returned.

"Hey, uh, security's here. Let's wrap it up." Pope said casually as these types of situations were normal to us.

"Boys are early today" I chuckled. I could almost feel the adrenaline inside of me getting ready to burst. I couldn't tell you why, but these situations always leave me on such a high. But hey, that's normal when you're a Pogue.

"Gary, is that you?" JJ calls out to one of the security guards. "Dude, get your ass down here." I say to JJ who's too busy riling up the security guards to notice how close they were getting. He finally turns to look at me as I reach my hand out to him, signalling that it's time to go. Just as JJ jumped down, we hear voices yelling at us from behind.

"JJ! Y/N! YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" Gary bellowed from behind us.

"Are you sure about that Gary?" I ask him sweetly, with a smirk crawling on my face. I didn't let him reply, before I started making my way through the house, JJ's hand still in mine. We made our way down the stairs and was just about to make our way out through the garage when Gary jumped out in front of us. "Quick, turn around!" I laughed to JJ, only just managing to slip through Gary's slimy hands. Running back in the opposite direction, the second security guard, whose name I could not remember for the life of me, jumped out in front of me and JJ and tried to grab him, but failed miserably and ended up falling on the floor as JJ turned around and said, "Not much of a hugger!"
