Quinn was in her room, reading a book Pope suggested she'd check out when her door suddenly flew open, JJ walking in as if he were looking for something. Since the night of the storm, JJ has been staying with the Robbins.

Quinn scoffed at JJ for barging in as she watched him walk into her closet. "Can I help you?" JJ let out a questioned hum before peaking his head out of her closet. "Where's your sewing kit. From when you had that sewing phase." Quinn rolled her eyes, looking back down at her book. "Top left shelf."

"Thank you!" She could hear JJ yell before he walked out of the closet holding two needles, a big smirk on his face. Quinn looked at him worriedly. "What are you doing?" JJs smirk got bigger as he pulled a small can of ink out of his pocket and a small sticky note with 'P4L' on it. "Want a tattoo?"

Quinn squinted at him, knowing her answer as soon as he asked but just wanted to mess with him. JJs brows raised. "I'll do you if you do me."

Quinn snickered, tapping the space in front of her on her bed. "Never say that again." JJ pouted slightly, sitting criss cross in front of her. "Aw.. Don't want little Popey to get jealous?" Quinn scoffed out a laugh, rolling her eyes slightly. "Sure."

"Where you want the tattoo?" JJ asked and Quinn gave him her hand, tilting it sideways as she stuck out her middle finger. "On the side." JJ clicking his tongue, grabbing her finger. "You've had that planned out for a while. Hm?"

Quinn nodded as JJ started working on her tattoo. When her phone started to ring, Quinn kept her eyes down on her book as JJ looked at the name. "You know Kie keeps calling you." Quinn let out a tired sigh, nodding. "She keeps asking if I want to graffiti the Cameron's wall."

JJ let out a 'hmph' noise as he continued to do Quinn's tattoo. "How much you wanna bet she's the one that'll get us in trouble from now on?" Quinn's head lifted at the question, sending JJ a daring squint. "Twenty bucks."

JJ smirked, finishing her tattoo. "Deal. Now, do my tattoo."

...

"I can't believe our parents really are making us go to school." Quinn groaned, throwing her head back into the drivers seat as she drove. Pope grabbed the top of Quinn's head, pushing her head down so she's facing forward. "Eyes on the road please."

Quinn laughed slightly as she pulled into a spot in front of the school. She quickly parked the car and got out. "Hey, chill out." She heard Kie warn JJ as he took another sip of his flask. JJ scoffed out a laugh, closing his car door. "If I black out, just don't remind me."

They all started to walk into the school, Pope wrapping his arm around Quinn's shoulder as she sighed. "Tell me about it. I took like five ibuprofens to get rid of this headache and it's still not gone." Kie turned to the pair, shaking her head. "That's not funny."

Quinn groaned at the school bell and Kie's words, her hand going to her forehead. "Never said it was! I can barely think." Pope turned to Quinn with a small frown, removing her hand off her forehead to put the back of his hand on her to check her temperature. "You still have the headache?"

Quinn grabbed Pope's hand off her forehead, holding it in her hands as they continued to walk. "Yeah, nothing will get rid of it." JJs eyes went sarcastically wide. "Maybe your tattoos infected." JJ whispered in a fake shock, flipping Quinn off since her tattoo was on her middle finger.

Quinn scoffed, whacking his hand. "It better fucking not. You made did the tattoo." Quinn whisper yelled at JJ when Pope and Kie suddenly froze, making JJ bad Quinn stop with them.

Right in front of them was the rock in front of the school, decorated in honor of John B. Quinn could hear whispering around her and even heard her name a few times, making her eyes not leave the memorial.

"I feel like people are staring at us." Kie said, looking around the campus. Quinn, keeping her eyes on the small memorial for John B, nodding. "Oh, they're definitely staring."

"Guys, we can't be late." Pope said, shaking his head. He started walking into school, pulling Quinn with him since their fingers were still interlocked.

"Hey. Hey!" Kie yelled, making the couple stop, turning around to look at Kie. "We gotta stick together." Quinn managed to give Kie a small smile, sticking her elbow out for Kie to link hers with. "This is stupid." JJ mumbled, making Kie roll her eyes, linking arms with him for the four of them to walk in together.

...

Quinn sat in her history class with the rest of the Pogues when her phone flashed from a message being sent to her. Quinn's eyes went wide as she scrambled to grab her phone but Mr. Sunn had already caught her. "Ms. Robbins!"

Quinn jumped at her name being called, making the whole class turn to her. Mr. Sunn nodded at her phone before looking back up at her. "I suggest you put that away." Quinn instantly nodded, hiding her phone under her leg. "Yes, Sir."

Mr. Sunn nodded, going back to the board to teach and when Quinn knew he wasn't gonna turn around again, she checked her phone from under the table and saw a text from Topper.

'Just thought you'd want to see this. I know you miss her.' The text read with an image attached to it.

She opened the photo and immediately felt her heart drop at the memorial set up for Sarah at Kook Academy. One of the main photos of Sarah used was a photo from Sarah's 15th birthday; Sarah sitting on Quinn's lap in front of her birthday cake, both girls with large smiles on their faces.

Quinn felt a small smile grow on her own face at the memory when her phone suddenly beeped again but this time Pope, Kie and JJ got a message too.

"Ms. Robbins..." The teacher warned and Quinn instantly shot her head up, shaking her head in defense. "I know. I know. No phone zone." The teacher sighed, looking around the room. "You will be tested on this. Now, to recap, who was Diocletian?"

When Mr. Sunn turned back to the board, Quinn looked down at her phone again and saw a text from an unknown number. Pope turned around from the seat in front of her, silently asking if she got the text and she nodded.

JJ quickly got up from his seat and crawled into the aisle between the three as they all held up their phones.

Each of their screens showed a picture of John B and Sarah. Quinn's eyes went wide as JJ ran out of the class, Kie right after him after grabbing her backpack. Quinn quickly started packing her bag as Pope raised his hand.

"Um, can I be excused to help them in the bathroom?" Pope asked, making Quinn roll her eyes as she threw her backpack over her shoulder. "Come on. Just get up." Quinn whispered, grabbing Pope's hand and pulling him out of his seat and out of the class.

"We gotta go to the courtyard." Kie said as they all ran out of the school. JJ let out a loud cheer, running into the janitor's cart and tripping. Quinn let out a loud laugh as he started to scramble up.

"Come on!" Pope yelled, pulling Quinn harder down the hall, making her stumble as she continued to not get the smile off her face.

"I mean, is that even possible? I mean, Shoupe said that they didn't make it. He said that." Kie said as they ran out the quad to find a spot to sit. "He said 'we lost them' maybe he just lost sight of them?" Quinn asked as she took a seat on one of the tables.

Pope sighed, looking around the group. "Okay, but I think we're overreacting, cause we can't rule out the possibility that this could be some kind of weird, cruel hoax." Pope said as Kie sat down next to Quinn.

Quinn looked up at Pope with a sad expression. "Have any of us ever seen that photo of them?" Quinn looked around the group as they all shook their heads. Kie sighed, looking down at her phone. "I'll just ask them."

'WTF is this you??? Kie typed and Quinn's leg started to bounce as the three dots popped up, waiting for a reply.

'Is JJ there?'

The three slowly turned to JJ who was biting his lip in worry. Quinn watched as he slowly started to type until she felt her phone buzz. She looked down and read JJ's text. 'I'm here Bree' Almost instantly they replied.

'Did you pimp my short bread?'

Quinn laughed at the text, snorting slightly making everyone laugh a bit more. "It's them." JJ said, a big smile on his face. Quinn shot out of her spot at the table, running into Popes arms for a hug as JJ ran to hug Kie. Pope pulled away from his hug with Quinn, cupping her face and pulling her into a celebratory kiss.

Everyones phone beeped again they quickly checked their phones.

'Laying super low in Nassau.'

Quinn's face furrowed, bringing her phone closer to her face as if she read it wrong. "How the hell did they get in the Bahamas?" JJ laughed, moving to sit on the table where Quinn once sat. "You can't  kill a pogue, dude. Especially John B."

'Can you clear my name? Wanna come home'

Quinn laughed at the text, tempted to type back a no to mess with him but decided not to. "Hell, yeah, we'll clear your name, boy." JJ laughed out as he typed back a thumbs up.

'Keep in touch. P4L'

Quinn smiled at the message, JJ shooting off the table "P4L, man! That's what I'm talking about! P4L baby!" JJ screamed as Pope wrapped his arm around Quinn's shoulders, pulling her into a celebratory hug. Quinn smiled in the hug, all her worry washing away knowing her friends were okay.
