"Look man, I can walk myself. I got legs. Can you see that, brother? Come on" That was the first thing Blake heard when she got back to the party

Blake joined her mother as she looked at how JJ was being dragged out of the party by a security guard.

"What did he do?" Jean asked her daughter

"I have no idea, mom" she replied

"I really appreciate the discretion, Daryl, you know?" JJ kept goong as eveyone turned to look at him, now the centre of attention "It's okay, everybody! Do not panic. Leave it to the men and women in uniform" he said as Blake look at him waiting to go after him any minute

"Rose! You look like Lady Liberty" JJ commented making Blake laugh

"I said that too!" Blake whispered to her mother who laughed along with her

"Let go of him!" Kie then shouted "You can't boot him!" she shouted getting annoyed looks from her parents. Kiara's parents didn't really like her friends.

"Mom, I-"

"Go with him" Jean interrupted her daughter already knowing where she wanted to go "Where is your brother?" the woman asked

"He'll need a minute to sober up and come out, but he's fine" Blake replied and ran towards the blonde Pogue

"It's alright, he's with me" she grabbed JJ's arm and took him out of the security guard's hold

"Sorry Mrs. Woods, but he needs to be escorted out" the security guard told her

"Yeah, that's what I'm doing. Thank you Daryl" the gurl replied sarcastically and kept walking

"Hey! mandatory power hour at Rixon's, Kie" JJ shouted "Pope, you as well, all right?" the blonde kept going

"Don't cause a scene" Blake nudged him in the ribs making him grunt

"Too late for that" he said

A minute later Kie and Pope got out of the party much to their parents annoyance and joined Blake and JJ.

"Look who finally arrived! Where were you?" Blake asked John B when he got to her side

"Tell you later, let's go" He said when the five of them were reunited

"Hey, c'mon B" JJ smiled at Blake and grabbed his hand. The five pogues didn't lose a second to take off running towards John B's van.

"Later, losers!"

The five pogues gathered around the fire. It was night like this that Blake loved the most. Just her friends hanging out together and having a good time. That could be if she wasn't in the middle of the woods in a dress and heels and if they handn't stormed out of a party.

"Hey, guys. So, like, my dad's already gonna kill me. So what's this mandatory meeting about?" Pope questioned

Blake smiled when she noticed JJ putting a hand on her thigh while he poked the fire. Her and Jj had always been inseparable, the rest of the pogued knew no one understood JJ and Blake better than each other, from all of them they were the closest. But lately they all noticed something had changed and that the two weren't only best friends anymore.

"Might as well tell him, man, before we're gaffed" John B did finger guns to JJ before he started explaining

"You ready for this?" John b asked Kie, Pope and Blake

"What's this all about?" Blake asked JJ whispering

"Just hear him out, you're going to love this" JJ whispered back as he took his hand from Blake's thigh and put it round her shoulders bringing her closer to him.
