The soft sounds of the radio filled three out of the six teenagers ears as they sat in the campervan. John B was driving, occasionally glancing at his girlfriend beside him while Sarah sat in the back, the two girls occasionally speaking to one another.

Sarah couldn't help but smile at the sight of John B and Y/n holding hands, their fingers intertwined together, the boy's thumb caressing the back of her hand. She thought they were the perfect couple. She just wishes she could have something like that in the future.

"So welcome to the Pogue life." Y/n speaks up, glancing back at the blonde.

"Oh, yeah. Is it everything you ever dreamed of?" John B asks.

"And more." Sarah replies, smiling at the couple.

They smile back just as the sound of a horn is heard from behind them. All sharing a slightly confused look, they glance over their shoulders, seeing none other than Rafe Cameron, Sarah's older brother, riding up to them, placing himself in front of the van, causing them to stop. Taking a glance at the girls, John B goes to get out but Sarah stops him, glancing between the two.

"Let me handle him." Sarah assures.

The couple watch as she hops out from the back of the campervan, walking towards her brother, pulling him slightly away so they could talk. Y/n could see the anger on both of the Cameron siblings faces. Hearing the door open, John B glances at his girlfriend, seeing Y/n hopping out, leaning against the window sill as she listens.

"I just heard about your little home invasion." Rafe informs.

"What are you talking about?" Sarah questions.

"What would Dad say if he knew you rob drug dealers?" Rafe asks back.

"I don't know. Maybe you could tell him if he didn't kick you out." Sarah reminds.

"I tried to take care of my little sister who's ungrateful, as always. Listen, the guy that you robbed is a bad man, Sarah." Rafe tells his sister.

"Yeah, I'm aware, Rafe!" Sarah replies.

Rafe holds up his wrist, revealing a burn mark. "Listen! He gave me this, okay? He gave me this for being late on a payment."

"Because you wanted to buy a stupid bike!" Sarah exclaims.

"Listen to me!" Rafe yells back. "You stole from him, alright? What do you think he's gonna do to you or your little Pogue friends?"

As Rafe gestures to Y/n and John B, the couple look behind them upon hearing an engine, seeing another person riding up on a bike. Y/n walks over to her boyfriend, who grabs her hand as the person takes off their helmet, revealing them to be Topper.

"Come to try to kill me again, Top?" John B questions.

"Yeah, here we go. It's always the Kook's fault, isn't it? I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry about your arm, but dude, I hardly touched you." Topper recalls, getting scoffs from both teens. "Look, I'm not the one corrupting this girl from a prominent family, getting her involved in a life of crime--"

"You have no idea what's going on!" Y/n yells in his face.

"Oh, I have no idea what's going on? I know you're stealing 25K from a drug dealer." Topper replies, getting in the girl's face. "You getting her involved in that shit, Maybank? I mean, just like your dad and brother, huh?"

Y/n shoves him roughly. "Don't you dare talk about my brother like that!"

Topper goes to open his mouth, taking step towards the Maybank girl, however, John B steps in-between the Kook and his girlfriend, glaring at Topper.

"Why don't you get on your fucking bike, Topper?" John B suggests.

"Or what?" Topper asks.

"Get on the bike." John B demands in a firm tone.

The couple watch as he slowly obeys, hopping on his bike and getting his helmet on. Meanwhile, Rafe did the same things, driving off, leaving his sister with the two Pogues.

"You're better than this, Sarah!" Topper tells the blonde.

And with that, he rides off as Y/n walks over to her friend, stopping beside her while John B stops on the other side of the e/c eyed girl.

"Well, he's a tool." Y/n comments.

"Yeah, tell me about it." Sarah agrees. "I dated him. I'm sorry about that, guys."

"It's okay." Y/n reassures. "Do you wanna do something?"

Sarah shakes her head. "No, I think I just need to be alone right now."

The Maybank girl nods in response, both her and John B watching as she walks off, going near the beach in hope to do anything. John B wraps his arm around his girlfriend's shoulders, holding her close while placing kiss on top of her head.

Later in the day, the couple found themselves getting out of the campervan again, walking towards an abandoned church hand in hand. John B had wanted to show his girl something and they were finally here to do so.

The Routledge boy leads Y/n to the side, where they walk through a door, heading inside the church, where Y/n walked around, taking a glance everywhere inside the church while John B watched her with love in his eyes.

"My dad used to come here when he was a kid." John B informs. "He said it was a relic from the old island."

"An antique?" Y/n questions.

John B nods. "Yeah, something like that. Before all the condos and the developments. Oh, that's the bell tower."

Glancing at him, Y/n notices the boy looking upwards at the bell tower and follows his gaze, a memorized look on her face.

"Back in the day, they used to ring the bells when the boats would come in." John B recalls.

"There?" Y/n asks, pointing upwards, receiving a nod. "Can I see it?"

As she had her back turned, John B grabbed two candles from beside him, hiding them in his pocket as he watched the h/c girl walk towards the ladder.

"Wait. I'll go first. You know, sort it out, type of thing." John B quickly says, clearing his throat. "Rats and whatnot."

Humming in reply, Y/n watches her boyfriend climb up the ladder, where she soon follows in suit, the boy holding his hand out for her which she takes, letting him help her the rest of the way up the bell tower.

"Check this out." John B says.

The boy leads her towards a window, where he points to a small carved name on a wooden pillar. Y/n notices it said 'John B', making her smile at the thought of John B and his father up here together.

"I was ten. Me and my dad did it." John B recalls.

Grabbing her hand again, he leads her to another window, revealing a beautiful view of the sky and OBX in front of them. Y/n stares ahead, memorized by the sight while John B stared at her, to which she eventually notices.

"Why do I get the feeling I'm not the first girl you've brought here?" Y/n questions, looking at him.

"You think I bring all my random hookups to my secret spot?" John B asks back with a tiny smile.

Y/n shrugs. "I don't know what you do with your random hookups."

"First time." John B tells her.

The two stare into each others eyes before John B steps forward, moving his hand to the girl's cheek, cupping it as they press their lips together, their lips moving in sync. As they kissed, Y/n rested her hands on his chest just as John B pushes a little, making the kiss a little more rougher, causing Y/n to pull away. John B immediately goes into apologies, not wanting to scare her.

"No, it's okay, I just-- I'm sorry." Y/n rambles in a whisper.

"Hey, it's alright. I shouldn't have done that." John B assures.

"I just got scared, I--" Y/n begins.

John B stops her by cupping her cheek. "Hey, it's okay. I promise."

The girl stares at him before stepping away, seating herself on a chair. John B soon follows in suit, seating himself beside her on the floor, elbows rested on his knees.

"I have a question for you." John B speaks up.

"Shoot." Y/n replies.

"So, um... Have you--" John B starts.

Y/n shakes her head, knowing what he was gonna ask. "No. I haven't. Does that freak you out?"

"No, actually." John B replies, shaking his head.

"I guess, I just get too scared when someone's asked me. I mean, not like anyone's really asked me, you and JJ always keep them away." Y/n reminds, making him smile as he lights up one of the candles with a lighter. "What about you? Was it special for you?"

"Oh, it was, um... it was super special, yeah. Tourist from Cincinnati. We met at a party. And five minutes into it, she just... asked." John B explains.

"Straight shooter." Y/n comments.

John B nods. "Yeah. And, uh... so we went back to her condo, and it lasted a total of twenty-five seconds."

Y/n raises a brow. "Marathon. And then you and JJ high-fived."

"No. I felt like shit." John B objects.

He remembers that night. The night with the tourist. The night where he came back and he saw Y/n passed out on his couch while JJ had been in the kitchen. The whole night he was with the tourist, all he had thought about was a certain Maybank girl. And he remembers that it was his last time with any other girl, as it was then he realized he was in love with Y/n Maybank.

"Kind of thought all boys just wanted to hook up with anyone, anytime, anywhere." Y/n admits.

"Yeah, I just ended up getting wasted." John B recalls.

He watches as the girl gets off the chair, seating herself on the floor beside him, staring into each other's eyes.

"Then we'll wait." John B states.

Y/n smiles. "Thank you."

In response, he rests his hand on her knee, fingers brushing together. Y/n smiles a little before leaning forward, pressing her lips against his. As their lips moved together, John B found himself slowly laying to his back while Y/n was on top of him.

"Are you sure?" John B questions against her lips.

"Positive." Y/n whispers back.

Smiling brightly at one another, they press their lips together again as John B's hand goes upwards, moving down the girl's bra strap a little from underneath her crop top, the strap hanging from her arm.

Giving him a smile, Y/n leans towards the candle, moving her hair out of the way and blowing the fire out, leaving them in a slightly dark room.

***

Early in the morning, the sound of an alarm on a phone goes off, waking up John B as he slept in his bed at the Cameron house. His door was closed as his arms were wrapped around his girlfriend's sleeping figure that laid beside him. He removes one of his arms, turning off his alarm before getting up.

The boy was quick to get his clothes on, making sure he looked decent even if it was to just go fishing with Ward. Once he was fully dressed, shoes and clothes done, hair has neat as he could get it, the boy walks back to his bed, jumping on and hugging his girlfriend from behind as he rests his chin on her shoulder, waking her up.

John B smiles, grabbing her hand. "Hi."

Turning over, Y/n smiles at the sound of her boyfriend's voice, then realizing she was in his bed as she looks up at him.

"Hi." Y/n greets back.

Leaning down, the Routledge boy presses his lips to hers in a slight but passionate peck before pulling away, staring into each other's eyes once again, like they always did.

"Bye." John B whispers.

"Bye." Y/n repeats in a whisper.

The boy gets up, taking one last glance at the girl, watching as she closes her eyes again with a happy smile. He smiles at the sight of her before walking out of his room, closing the door behind him.
