"Fun fact; everyone you know will die. Your mother, brother, sister, father. Everyone."
---
Everybody grieves in their own way. JJ and Kiara decided to be reckless and get high. Pope and Brooklynn preferred to keep to themselves and make sure the group stayed afloat.
But Brooklynn not only mourned for John B and Sarah. She mourned for her father who passed away a week ago as well.
Mark went fishing one day and never came back. Brooklynn ghosted all her friends for three days after that.
The three days gave her time to cry and drown in her own guilt. In those three days, she moved to her mom's house.
Ariella was of course glad to have her, but it was hard to care for a grieving teenager who wouldn't bother to care for herself.
Ariella was a poor woman who lived on the Cut. She didn't have much going for her. She could barely afford to feed herself, and now she had to feed another.
Mark's fortune went to his girlfriend, Marcie, rather than his own daughter. His girlfriend didn't seem to be upset at all. She was drowning in money instead of tears.
It had been two months since John B and Sarah died. Well everyone assumed they died, it was never exactly confirmed.
The Phantom was found upside down in the middle of the ocean and severely mangled by the storm, but no bodies were found.
But the Pogues decided to have a funeral for John B and Sarah anyway. They all met up at the Chateau.
Pope grunted as he pulled the bark of a tree off with an axe John B kept in his shed. Brooklynn had the bright idea of using an oak tree as a gravestone since they couldn't afford a real one.
JJ heated a flat screwdriver with a hand torch and began to carve John B's name into the tree. Kiara placed a box filled with some of John B's leftover belongings and placed it at the foot of the tree.

JJ backed up to admire his work and pulled a silver flask out of his pocket. "To John B," JJ said, taking a chug of his flask.
"And Sarah," Brooklynn added. Beside her, Pope and Kiara each lifted a can of beer to their lips.
