I hate you, I love you // JJ Maybank

"You can still change your mind princess."

We all went outside and JJ took some weed. He handed a cigarette to me and I gladly took it. "You can still change your mind princess." he spoke. "I won't." I answered with a big smirk on my face. Everyone except JJ had fear on their faces. Instead of fear, there was pleasure on JJ's face. And I couldn't wait to crush that smile of his face. What they all didn't know was that I have been smoking weed since a year ago, because I was dealing with some stuff at home. This bet was actually piece of cake for me, but I didn't want to tell them, because I want to see JJ's expression when he sees I can smoke. "So, are you still going to do it, or did our little princess get scared?" "Never!" As soon as I said it, I brought the cigarette to my mouth and lighted it on with the lighter Kiara just gave me. Soon, I could blow the smoke out of my mouth without any difficulties. The pogues were astonished. "Oh oops, I forgot to mention, I have been smoking weet since last year." I grinned. "This was just luck, cupcake." JJ whined, but a smirk covered his face as he saw mine getting an angry look. "What? It's not because I can't call you princess anymore that I can't call you other names." he laughed as he winked at me. "This bet just became a lot less interesting than I imagined." I whined. "Well, now y/n doesn't have to dye her hair anymore, can we carry on with the gold?" Pope asked. "Wow, you really want that gold, now do you?" Sarah answered. "Yes, of course, we are pogues, we need it." "Y/n isn't, why does she need the gold?" JJ frowned. "And here we go again, me and Sarah aren't pogues either, we are also helping out." Kie whined, rolling her eyes.

We had been discussing for two hours, and we still didn't have any clue on what island the gold could be. "We'll just have to accept it, this is a lost cause." JJ sighed. At that moment it hit me. "What if the island isn't an actual island?" "I don't understand anything you just said." John B answered confused. "What if 'the island' is a code name?" "And why would they use a code name?" Pope asked. "Just think about it, they know we are chasing the gold. And they also know that we would do anything to get it. That also includes spying. So..." "Wait, so the gold could also still be in Outer Banks." Sarah interrupted. "Exactly!" I agreed. "But where do we even have to look? It's not like they would leave us messages to find it." Kiara complained. "What if they did?" Everyone looked at me with confused expressions. "I'm just saying, the messages don't actually have to be messages. "I still have no clue on what you're talking about cupcake." JJ sighed. I looked at him angrily because of the nickname he gave me again. "They don't need to leave 'messages' on purpose. They could lead us to the gold by leaving some traces caused by not paying enough attention." "Wait, you're right!" Sarah exclaimed. "I didn't know you were such a genius!" John B exclaimed. "He's right, finally another smart person in this group." Pope joked. "Hey!" The other pogues shouted jokingly.

"Okay so what's the plan?" JJ asked John B who was with him at the Cameron house. "We just have to wait here and look if they're doing anything suspicious." "When are they not acting suspicious?" "Good point, now focus." They had been waiting for 15 minutes and nothing had happened yet. "This is boring the shit outta me, did I really bring my gun for this?" "We never asked you to bring your gun." "Well, my gun did. And I couldn't leave him alone, away from all the action." "Since when do you care about feelings, not to mention feelings of objects, who don't even have them?" "You're talking about y/n, right?" He asked with an angry tone. "I didn't even mention her, but yes, she's one of the peoples. What's your problem with her?" "I just don't want another person in our group, okay. Now shut up about her." It was actually the truth at the start. But after he got to know y/n a little better, he started feeling differently about her. But instead of making his feelings clear, he pushed her away, because he didn't know if his dad would come back, and he also didn't know if he was a better person now. He was afraid that if Luke saw how much y/n meant to him, he would hurt her like he hurt him. "JJ! JJ!" John B whisper-shouted. "What?" JJ asked. "They saw us!" "Run!" John B and JJ were running, while Ward and Rafe chased them. "I still have my gun, should I try to shoot them?" JJ asked. "No, but I have a better idea." "Soon, the two boys were running past the police office, where Shoupe stood outside. They thought Ward killed Peterkin, but they didn't know he was still alive. If the officers would see Ward, they would imprison him. Soon, JJ and John B ran past Shoupe who was extremely confused. "Dad, it's a trap!" "What do you mean?" "Soon, Rafe was nowhere to be found, but Ward who was looking behind him, bumped into Shoupe, who immediately handcuffed him with the handcuffs that always hang on his belt. "Great job Shoupe." John B congratulated him. "You will never get the gold, you hear me you brats, never!" Ward shouted at them. "Trust me, we will!" JJ shouted, thinking about the girl who was a genius in his eyes.

I'm sorry it took me this long to update, and I'm also sorry for the short chapter. The thing is, I didn't have much inspiration before and I thought the last sentence was a good way to end the chapter. But now I have a lot more inspiration again. See you soon!
