/18/ The runaway

JJ Kiara and Isla dropped Pope off at his place so he could get a good night sleep for his interview, and they drove back to John B's house.

"Hey guys, is that John B?"
Isla asked looking at a body lying on the dock behind John B's house.

"Shit, yeah it is."
Kiara replied, looking at the figure as well.

JJ parked the boat and they all got out and walked towards John B, who was fast asleep on the dock.

"Should we let him sleep?"
JJ asked.

"Yeah, we'll talk to him tomorrow, it's pretty late anyways."
Kiara nodded.

JJ agreed and the three of them walked to John B's house. Kiara immediately crashed onto the couch on the porch, groaning in satisfaction, While JJ and Isla lied down on their usual spot on the pull out couch.

Isla was pretty tired so she lied down and cuddled up next to JJ, making herself comfortable.
"Hey Isla."
JJ whispered.

"Mhm?"
Isla answered, too tired to give a decent reply.

"Remember when I walked away? With the money?"
JJ asked softly drawing circles on her bare arm.

"Yeah."
Isla whispered.

"Well I, I've been thinking about what you said and, I don't know why I didn't say it back."
He explained nervously.

"What?"
Isla asked, opening her eyes to look at him.

"Isla, I love you."
He whispered as he looked into her eyes.

Isla smiled and kissed his lips softly.
"I love you, JJ"

"So, does this mean we're like, official now, or.."
JJ suggested, finally getting into the conversation they've both been wanting to have for a while now.

"Are you asking me to be your girlfriend, JJ Maybank?"
Isla shot up straight, looking at him with a teasing smile.

"Will you?"
JJ asked, returning a bright smile.

"Of course I do."
She replied, the smile not leaving her face when she kissed him.

When they woke up the next morning, JJ, Isla and Kiara noticed John B in the kitchen, he told them how he went to check on the gold and that Ward Cameron had taken all of it.

So now they were on the dock again, trying to figure out how they were gonna handle this situation, while JJ and Isla smoked some weed.

"Are you sure he got everything?"
Kiara asked.

"Every bar. The whole enchilada."
John B replied, taking off his cast.

"It's not like I expected a happy ending or some shit."
He said throwing the cast away.

"John B."
Kiara warned him.

"What, Kie? It's a hairline fracture. Who cares?
John B replied.

"You should care, your arm's gonna be messed up for life."
Kiara scoffed.

"It's fine, see?"
John B said wiggling his fingers.

"Guys!"
They heard someone in the distance yell, Isla turned around and saw Pope running towards them, wondering what he was doing when he has that scholarship interview to go to?

"Oh god, I ran all the way here."
Pope said standing next to his friends, all out of breath.

"You all right?"
John B asked.

"How was the interview Pope?"
JJ asked.

"Don't ask."
Pope replied, trying to catch his breath.

"JB, look, I'm sorry dude, about everything."
Pope apologized to his friend.
