We stood outside the window, i was honestly terrified.I tried to breathe as quietly as possible.

My back pressed against the wall my feet tense, ankles tight trying not to lose my footing. My heart racing. JJ's hand was pressed on my back, his body hovering over me. I kept my eyes down refusing to make eye contact with him, While His body heat was reflecting off onto me.

" everybody's gotta dip their beak " Shouppe's voice muffled from inside

" what the fuck" jj mouthed when my eyes flickered up at him.

Bam!

The gun hit the surface we were standing on. We all cringed. My breath cut short my heart practically in my ass.
The blinds opened quickly. JJ holding my side and pulling me into him, a small gasp leaping out of my breath.

The blinds closed. I let myself release my breath. We were clear once we heard the cops leave John B slid down the roof as well as JJ, leaving me up there.

I sat down then slowly scooted myself to the edge "C'mon Lexi!" John B rushed me " I'm sorry that I'm a little shaken right now give me a fucking minute!" I grit my teeth, my legs scratching against the shingled roof.

" well that was fun " JJ huffed leaning on the boat "You could have warned us sooner," I said leaning my back on the front of the boat next to JJ

" We would've except Pope was on the math team," Kie said

" you were on the math team?!" JJ questioned, his voice surprised" The cops took everything like a crime scene. Did you guys find anything?" Pope asked

"Did we find anything? No, don't think so oh, yeah, we did ." Jj said pulling a wad of cash and a gun out of his pocket and holding them out

" dude. What the hell?" Popes eyes widened

Jj hopped up from his spot. And moved over to Pope "It's better than the cops having it." JJ reassured  the nervous boy

" you serious?"

" I'm gonna lose my merit scholarship. " pope freaked out practically ripping his hair out.

"Hey, hey, hey. Sh, sh, sh, Sh, sh. " JJ held the gun up to Pope's lips " at least you have us. Right?"

" I'm living the nightmare," Pope said moving away from JJ.

We then made our way over to the main docks

" who's that " I asked seeing the scene in front of us. A man  with a semi familiar face getting loaded onto a gurney

" scooter grubbs. He was out during the storm. Check out this pic I got " the girl said showing us a photo of a water-flushed body " dead body "

" insane "  I almost gagged at the photo, the  image making me a bit queasy

" holy shit"

"What kind of boat did he have?" Jj asked  curiously

"Somehow, that dirtbag copped a brand-new grady-white." The girl answered

Jj and I gave each other a shared look

After that, we spent a few more minutes there talking to the girl we headed back to the chateau

We were all sitting on the porch.

"Okay. So um ... we didn't see anything we don't know anything. We have to have total and complete amnesia " Pope said breaking the silence with frantic chatter

" actually, popes right ... for once. See, I agree with you sometimes. Deny, deny, deny. " JJ said standing up from his seat "Now you know that's not what he meant " I squinted my eyes at the blond boy

" guys we can't keep that money" Kie put in her two cents "Okay. Not all of us can afford unlimited data plans Kiara" JJ rolled his eyes, flicking his lighter.

"While I hate to say it, Kie's right. Bad karma," i admitted

"Bad karma to be implicated in a felony too. We gotta go dark " Pope added

" if that means we get to keep the money, then I agree," Jj says walking around the room and stopping at Bee

" for once I don't agree, "John b says

" what? Why?" Jj asked being caught off guard, a feeling that completely matched mine "Yeah, why? I mean I expected the two Choas kings to well be the two chaos kings..." I questioned

"Just think about it. This is scooter grubs we're talking about. Same dude that's buying individual cigarettes at the porthole. Shit, one time I saw this dude begging for change in the save-a-lot parking lot because he needed gas. Were talking about a dirtbag marina rat that's never had more than 40 bucks in his pocket and all of a sudden he's got a grady-white? Just saying." John b deducts

After a few minutes of thinking we went outside both Pope and JJ grabbing fishing poles

" all right so think about it, pope. How does a marina rat get a Grady- -white? " John b asked

" prostitution "

" square groupers, bro. Flying under the radar, no aerial surveillance. They don't do that stuff during a hurricane. What does that mean ?"John b asked 

"They were straight smugglin, "JJ said reeling his fishing line back in

" FISH ON!"

Once we caught a few fish we moved our conversation into John B's room

" just for the record if that is a smuggling ship with illegal contraband on the inside of it ... it probably belongs to someone else "Pope starts

" minor details "

" they could come looking for it. Taking it would be catastrophically stupid." Pope finishes

" yeah, well, stupid things have good outcomes all the time. All we need to do is figure out a way to get into the cargo hold of that wreck. For now, we just need to lay low. Act normal" JJ suggested

" right, and how do we do that exactly?" I ask

" kegger? "Kie suggest

I perked up immediately, "Yes. yes. god, yes" I nodded

~

Now the boneyard .... where do I start? Well, it's a mixing pot of people. From Kooks to Pogues. Even though it's on the cut we still throw parties for everyone to come to. It's nice, I kinda think of it as a peace circle... well most nights

JJ and john B and Pope dragged the kegs through the sand as I and Kie set up trash bags tied around the palm trees

" Here ya go m'lady," JJ said handing me a filled red solo cup

" Thanks " I took the cup from his hand, taking a harsh sip " there's the Lex I remember " JJ chuckled

As more people showed up I started to talk to some old friends I saw. Time passed and the sun went down

" what is she doing here?" Kie questioned
I looked at where she was, to see Topper and Sarah laughing together.

"Oh my god. I can handle Sarah... but topper? And what are they even doing here laughing together like that?" I pulled my cup up to my lips a scrunched look on my face.

" oh ... no one told you yet.... well topper and Sarah are, well... dating," John b  said his voice muffled by the solo cup to his lips. my eyes widened and I hummed" Great so my exes are now together... Nothing can get worse than this " I sighed then swung my foot out walking away towards JJ who was talking with people.

I sat down on a log next to him then took sips of my beer, just finishing it off.

" you good?" Jj asked me after he ended his conversation

" mmh kinda. I mean I just saw my two exes, so I am just dandy " I replied, my posture straining my back.
" well, ya know what I think would make you feel. Better?" Jj asked
"What?"
" a few more drinks " he replied
" it wouldn't hurt" I smiled as he stood up from beside me then holding out his hand for me

I slipped my hand in his perfectly fit. I heaved myself up from the log my hand still in his . We walked over to the kegs getting drink after drink ... I was a bit tipsy.
Jj let go of my hand

" hold on" he walked away towards john.BI waited for a second before I heard yelling from where he walked away. I furrowed my brows and walked towards the sound cautiously as it grew louder with each step.

There I saw, John B, JJ, and Topper fighting, and just around them were Kie, pope and Sarah  I rolled my eyes.  Oh my god

" stop it !"

" hey!"

" you're hurting him!"

"Alexis, kie? Can you please check your psycho friend please ?!" Sarah yelled

I gritted my teeth, tilting my head. I ran in the middle of the two boys

" lex. No!" JJ shouted

I tried to pull Topper of John B.

" get out of here Alexis!" Topper yelled at me  trying to  shake me off of him

" oh shut the fuck up topper" I shoved him

Topper turned around letting go of John B for a moment And pushed me causing me to tumble back onto the ground and  onto a sharp piece of wood. I hissed as I held my side blood sticking to my hands.

As the fight resumed I saw JJ running towards me

" shit, that's bad. You ok?" He asked kneeling by My side

I nodded still wincing from the pain "No. shit" i held my breath

" Here hold this on it," JJ said handing me his bandana nodded again taking it

" jj. "

" yeah?" He questioned

" toppers drowning him," I said looking over his shoulder.

" shit! Stay here" he said standing up and running over to Topper and john b

Jj pulled something out of his pocket and held it to toppers head

Everyone started fleeing the beach

I started to make out what the object was when Topper stood up with his hands in the air

John b left in the water as he let go of Topper

" ALRIGHT LISTEN UP! EVERYBODY GET THE HELL OFF OUR SIDE OF THE ISLAND !" Jj yelled

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!

He shot the gun in the air causing everyone to clear the beach

I flinched. The noise pierced my ears.

Once JJ calmed down we went home dropping Kie and Pope off beforehand

Me and JJ layed John B down on the couch "Okay, yeah put his leg- yup" I directed JJ. once I dropped John B s head on a pillow jj and I went to my room.  We sat on my bed and I took a deep breath.

"What a night." I sighed and JJ nodded but his eyes were fixed on my waist " Can I-?" JJ's hands reached for my shirt. I nodded, leaning back on my hands a bit

His warm hands touched my waist as he lifted my shirt just enough to reveal the wound ." yeah, you're pretty banged up " he said then letting my shirt fall back onto my body

" let me go get the first aid kit," JJ said standing up from my bed" ok," I said still feeling his hands on my body. i small tingle on my waist

JJ

She was quiet. She was never quiet, she always loved to talk and I always loved to listen.

I came back into her room with the first aid kit, sitting back down on her bed little space between us" I'm gonna put alcohol on it." I said pouring rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. She nodded once again, I wiped the alcohol soaked cotton on her wound. She hissed, holding her breath

I pulled the cotton away quickly." here " I said taking her hand "If it hurts just squeeze my hand"

I wiped the alcohol on her wound once again. She flinched, but didn't squeeze my hand

" thank you, for helping me," she said as I opened a bandage

" no problem, I'm just glad he didn't hurt you worse. He's such an asshole" I said putting on the bandaid, my fingers just brushing her skin

" yeah..." she breathed out a small smile drawing to her lips

Her lips. I caught myself staring at her lips. When my eyes flicked up she was doing the same.

She cleared her throat, her face flushing red" I'm sorry. I'm drunk I'mm gonna go to bed"Lex said awkwardly a laugh coming through. She  took her hand out of mine scooting away

" no yeah.  Yeah. Me too" I said then standing up Good night Lex" I walked out of her room Closing the door.

What was that? My stomach burned.
Like I was angry. But I wasn't angry.
