~one week later~

I groggily walk out of the bedroom at the chateau. I shared the bedroom with Kiara last night because JJ was hogging the pull out.

I see a shirtless JJ sitting on the pullout scrolling through his phone.

"Put a shirt on you whore" I smack JJ's shoulder as I go past . "Oh come on you love me shirtless" he teases while I walk away and towards the kitchen "Men are gross" I scoff then start making myself some cereal.

"Preach!" Kiara yells sleepily from the bedroom.

Once I finish making my bowl I sit next to JJ and give him the other spoon that I grabbed. I knew he wanted breakfast but he was too lazy to make it himself in the morning.

John b walks out of his bedroom running his eyes. "Hav" he mumbles "what's up?" I say with a mouth full of generic brand Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

"Can I send you to the store today to pick up a few things? I'll give you the money. I have to work today so I can't go" I nod "Of course and don't worry about the money I got it" "Are you sure?" "Yes John b now go get ready for work, you can't be late for Mr.Cameron" I say Mr.Cameron in a very posh accent.

"Thanks I owe you one" he smiles at me and I return the smile.

The market isn't that far from where I live so I could probably have John b drop me off at the store on his way to work.

"Can you drop me off on your way?" I shout over the noise of the shower "Yea!" He shouts back.

I go into the bedroom and look through the bag I packed.

I grab a black tank top and some black mom jeans with a belt.

I brush through my hair then put it up because it's too hot for me to deal with today.

"Bye Haven" Kiara mumbles sleepy as I exit the spare bedroom. "Bye Kiara"

I walk into the living room again a John b is drying his hair with a towel.

"You ready?" He asks and I nod.

"Bye JJ" I give him a quick hug.

"I'll see you later?" He asks "Most likely"

I say bye to Pope who is laying on the couch of the porch. He still half asleep so I'm not sure he was very coherent.

John b and I hop into his van then we set off.

"So, why didn't JJ come?" He asks as we drive down the dirt road. "I don't know he didn't really express wanting to go" I stare out the window as we converse.

"He always wants to go where you go. He's like your little golden retriever" I laugh at John b's analogy "He kinda does look like a golden retriever" JJ personality is also comparable to a puppy at times. He does great puppy dog eyes too.

"Dude I literally threw a frisbee last week and he caught it with his mouth" I start laughing "JJ's a special one that's for sure"

We arrive at the store and John b hands me a small list of things.

Bread
Bagels
Cream cheese
Double stuffed Oreos
Water bottles
Ramen noodles (the good kind)
3 cases of beer

Wow John b how smart is it to send me in alone to get 3 cases of beer.

I swear he can be more of an idiot than JJ. And that's saying something.

I get the regular stuff first but I was kinda confused on what he meant by 'the good ramen' but I eventually figured it out.

I grab the three cases of beer and walk out to the register with a middle aged man who I've seen around town before.

I'll just hope that he doesn't ID me.

He rings up everything and then stops at the beers. "ID please" he says in a monotone voice "What was that sir I couldn't hear you?" I ask adjusting my top.

My thought process is maybe he's a disgusting fuck and if I seduce him maybe just maybe he'll let me get away with this.

"I need to see your ID please"

The one guy I needed to be a creep.

"Um well you see" I look for his name tag and it reads 'Edward' "Edward. Can I call you Ed? I'm gonna call you Ed" he gives me a get on with it look.

"Ok Ed so my mom is home sick right now and we ran out of beers for my dad and he'll be absolutely pissed there aren't beers in the fridge when he gets back. I just" I start to fake tear up "I just don't want my mom to get hurt again" I sniffle and wipe the tears away.

"Oh my god I'm a mess I'm sorry" I sniffle again. "Ok kid but just this once" I nod "thank you it really means a lot" I give a small smile as he checks the beer cases out.

I pay grab my bags then walk out of the store smiling to myself.

My dad obviously didn't hurt me or my mom like that, he didn't even live with us. He lives on the mainland with my step mom, I go and see him every once in a while.

I walk home and thank god my moms at work so I don't get in trouble for putting beers in the fridge she and John b will be off about thirty minutes apart.

After putting everything in the fridge I flip onto the couch.

I haven't had time to myself in a while because of how much I've been hanging out with the Pogues.

I don't really mind not having my own down town because I like surrounding myself with people. I hate being alone for too long.

I ponder what to do and I figure I can't smoke some devils lettuce while I have down time.

I walk into my room and open my drawer where I keep all of my completely legal things.

I grab a blunt that the lovely JJ prerolled for me, I grab my lighter then sit on my bed.

I turn on my tv and play some music.

I just get high and vibe to the weekend.

I stop for a second when I feel a little sick just to make sure I don't over do it.

I take a couple minutes and drink some water then once I feel better, I start smoking again because I'm a bad bitch.

I finish the blunt and then become bored again.

My phone dings and it's Rafe. 'party @ tops tonight. U in?' I debate for a second.

Look parties were always fun as hell but I didn't like going alone.

'For sure can I bring someone?' I wait for him to respond 'yea starts at 11' I leave him on read.

JJ would be willing to go to a kook party with me right?








A/n- ok ok don't come for my wig bc my description of Haven smoking was lowkey shit. I haven't smoked in a few years so I didn't really know how to describe it sorry lmao
