SINCERELY, YOUR DARLA. || ~ jj maybank.

🌿| "I love you." (29)

"He deserved it, right?" JJ asks me as we're all out on the chateau dock, his fishing rod in hand.

I hold another rod. "Are you kidding, of course he deserved it."

"Never seen anyone blow themselves up like that." Pope sighs.

"Cross that one off the bucket list." Jj shrugs.

I giggle a bit at that.

"JJ, Darl!" Kie yells.

She looks up at us, shaking her head as she walks over to a depressed John b out on the pogue.

We go silent, fidgeting with our rods. "Sucks for Sarah."

"Are you okay?" She asks him, sitting beside him.

"Not me I'm worried about." He sighs.

I wake up the next morning to pope slapping my face with the beer can gun.

"Rise and shine my queen." He smiles.

I smack the gun away. "No deliveries today, please."

"No, we have school. And a geometry test in 30 minutes." His words are going in one ear and out the other.

I groan as I feel my eyes droop.

"Get up, you're coming with us."

I sit up as Pope retreats to JJ, trying to slap his face awake. "That's not going to work Pope, when he sleeps, he dies."

"Perfect." Pope sighs.

I get up and accidentally put my shoes on the wrong way. "Help." I give up, falling back into bed.

"No. Darla." Pope shakes me and pushes me back up.

I tie the laces very loosely and rub my eyes as I stand up.

"I'm starving I need some pizza." Jj frowns.

"No, you missed breakfast." Pope drags him back.

He holds the cold pizza from who knows when and munches on it. "I got it- I go- AH!"

We all waddle out the door.

"Hey, Kie, this way." Pope says as Kie walks in the opposite direction.

"Um.. I'll meet up with you guys later."

I scrunch my eyebrows. "No I need Kie as my moral support."

Pope pushes me out. "Come on."

We get into the car and I curl up into a ball at the back.

JJ instantly falls back asleep while Pope drives.

I get woken up when Pope pulls to a stop, and I bash my head against the window. What a surprise.

"Let's go, up and at 'em, guys." Pope says, getting out of the car.

I stumble out as Pope pulls the back door open.

We walk up to the door, but Jj can't make it without tripping and flopping on the floor.

I start hysterically laughing at him.

"JJ, get up." John b laughs.

JJ stumbles up. "The fuck just happened?"

I wipe the tears from crying laughing. "Oh my fuck."
