Saltwater to Silk

Jayla has always been Pogue through and through-loyal, stubborn, and shaped by a life that never gave her much room to be anything else. Growing up alongside JJ, John B, Pope, and Kie, she learned early on that family isn't always blood-it's who stands beside you when everything falls apart.

Each of the Pogues plays a different role in her life.

JJ is her chaos and her comfort-the one who makes bad situations feel lighter, even when everything's falling apart. Their bond is effortless, built on years of shared trouble and unspoken understanding.

John B is the leader, the one who keeps them moving forward when things get messy. Jayla trusts him-but lately, she's started to question him, especially as secrets begin to surface.

Pope is the voice of reason, always thinking three steps ahead. He grounds Jayla when her emotions threaten to take over, reminding her to slow down and think.

Kie is her anchor-the one who understands her without needing words. Their friendship is steady and fierce, built on loyalty and honesty.

Together, they're more than just a group-they're survival.

But when Jayla is taken and used against them, everything shifts. Trust is tested, secrets unravel, and the line between Pogue and Kook starts to blur in ways none of them were prepared for.

What does this mean for Jayla Maybank?
