VIENNAS POV
Charleston.

"did you get it?" John b asks me as we walk away from our plan. The plan was that we bumped into some rich couple and take they're money to by gas and food. "What are you talking about? You mean this?" I grab the money out of my pocket. We both laugh and head to the store.

As I'm filling up the big red jugs with gas, the couple come walking around as John b waddles out of the store with hot dogs. "Dude." I shout loudly pointing over.

"Hey you! Thieves! You stole my money! Come here!" The man shouts as he chases us. "Shit!" We both shout as we run away from him.

The man was still chasing us and some truck nearly ran us over. A familiar truck. I look back at the truck, but I couldn't quite recognise it. John b pulls my arm and we jump onto some hot dog bike and he pedals away. The man was still running after us.

We went as fast as we could. As we come to an ally way, John b immediately pulls the breaks as we were about to crash into some kids running out of the ally.

I was still looking behind me, making sure he wasn't catching up. Until I noticed it went silent and John b wasn't moving. I turn around and my heart dropped when I saw Sarah, pope and jj staring back at us.

My eyes stared onto jjs for the longest, as did his.

After snapping out of our trance I shout as I hear the man's footsteps get closer. "Get in! Come on!"

Sarah sits beside me while John b pedals and pope and jj push. As we finally got away from them all jj and pope sat beside us.

I pulled Sarah in for the tightest hug ever as we made our way to our get away boat.

We hop on the boat and fill it with fuel and made our way out onto the ocean.

We all started talking about what the fuck happened, and how rafe shot me. Everything.

I was happy to have my friends back again, everything was normal. Although, me and jj weren't normal. We hadn't actually spoke since we saw eachother.

"Anybody else starving? We need to grab some breakfast." Jj says while we pull into some docks.

Me and Sarah hop off the boat and make our way to find some food.

"Jackpot!" Sarah later shouts as she holds up a watermelon.

We sit and eat on the water melon. "Mm. Holy shit." I say, enjoying the fruit. "Okay, so you and jj? You guys haven't spoke since we reunited... what's going on?" Sarah asks. I look up at her and sigh. "Sarah... I literally... died. I feel so bad, I don't even know what to say to him." I look down. "Yeah, he was pretty bad." Sarah sighs. "What? How?" I look up at her concerned. "As soon as we got home that night, he crashed down in popes arms... I've never seen him that bad. He was literally crying and sobbing the whole week, then..." Sarah stops herself. "Then what?" I ask. "Then he just shut us all out. He started shit with everyone. He stopped talking about you, everytime you were mentioned he'd leave." Sarah confesses. I look down in guilt. "But when he found out you were alive? He was screaming, he was crying in happiness. Do you remember what your bond was like before you left? He loves you, Vienna." Sarah laughs. "I know, and I think I might love him too." I laugh back. "Girl..." she says before giggling again.

JJS POV

"so what's up with you and Vienna?" Pope asks me. I freeze as soon as I hear the question, even though I was expecting it. I love her. Yes. But I'm scared, she hasn't spoke to me since I've saw her. What if she hates me because I never tried looking for her? Or maybe she never like me in the- "jj?!" Pope shouts to catch my attention. "Wh- what? Oh. Yeah, idk." I sigh.

"Your inlove with my sister." John b laughs.

I look straight up at him. "What?!" I laugh. "She loves you too, don't worry." John b laughs again.
"And how do you know that?" I ask. "I can't tell, she's my little sister, dude." John b rolls his eyes.

Pope then mutters something under his breath. "What was that pope?!" I shout over. "She told me she liked you... but she was drunk, so I don't kno-"

"Told ya!" John b laughs. "Just gotta give it time. She's been through a lot. Okay?" John b convinced me. I nod and smile to myself.

VIENNAS POV

"hi! What y'all talking about?!" I ask as we hop back onto the boat. "Uh...fishing." Jj blurts out. "Typical." I laugh. "Need help?" Jj asks me as I'm holding a watermelon. "Indeed." I pass it to him.

We then make our way back to obx.

"hey." jj says as he sits beside me on the boat. "hi." I smile. "How are you feeling?" He asks. "Like I got shot. Nothing major though." I laugh. "I've really missed you." Jj whispers. I look up at him for a second then pull him in for a really tight hug. And he does the same. "I've missed you too." I whisper.

//

We then make it back to the chateau.

"Home sweet home!" I laugh as jj helps me out of the boat. "So am I like... allowed to crash, still?" Sarah asks. "I'm also banned from heywards household for leaving the truck in Charleston." Pope sighs. "And my dad kinda beat a hot tub out of my ass so..." jj laughs.

I sigh at jjs comment, he always jokes about bad things that happen to him.

"No one knows we're here right? And you two aren't gonna get into any more trouble for showing up 12 hours later. Am I right, or am I right?" Jj smirks. "Your not wrong." Pope sighs "so that means we have 12 hours to do whatever the fuck we want. Huh? A little pogue fellowship. How does that sound?" Jj laughs "let the shit hit the fan tomorrow." John b smiles. "Yeah!" Jj shouts. "The cops could be looking for us. It could be really stupid." I sigh.

"Vienna routledge, you've heard of my philosophy, right?" Jj walks over and asks me. "Too many times." I giggle. "Stupid things have good outcomes all the time." He laughs as he takes my hand and and walks us off the docks.

"Let's go get some beer!" Jj shouts and laughs.

It's good seeing him happy.

//

Later it's night, we have our beers and vodkas and most of us were highly intoxicated. Me and jj we're definitely.

"So this is the hot tub vi was chatting about!" Pope shouts and laughs. "Sure is!" I laugh as jj sits beside me and puts his arm around me.

We drink, dance and laugh the night away.

Jj tried to make a song but it turned out shit. "That was... shit." I laugh. "Dude?!" He laughs as well, making complete eye contact with me.

"Your girls out. Beer time." I smile before walking off to the cooler. I get over and pick up a beer before something on the tree.

carved into the tree.

I sigh before jj makes his way over to me.

"cute art project." I say as Tears start to make their way to my eyes. Jj sighs as he looks at the tree. "Yeah. I made it." He slightly laughs. "Killed the tree though." I smile. "Yeah probably. Oops." He laughs as tears fill his eyes too.

We both look at eachother before he pulls me in for a kiss. I kiss him back as I place my hand on his cheek. God, words can't explain how I missed this.

"Hey, come on." He says before pulling away from the kiss and he takes my hand and we head down to the boat.

He starts the boat and we make our way to wherever.

"Have a good time!" Sarah shouts from land.
"God save me now." John b sighs. Sarah then whistles and laughs.

I laugh and so does jj.

//

We make it to the beach and start a little fire and chill out. "Did you know they're getting married?" Jj spits out. "Who?" I ask. "John b and Sarah." He sighs. "What?! No." I laugh. "He really didn't tell you?" Jj laughs. "No!" I laugh again.

At this point we were both highly highly intoxicated.

"Remember when you told me you loved me." I smile as we are both laid on the sand. "Yeah, you know I do." He sighs. "I love you too." I say. "I know." He then sits up and looks at me.

He then starts to lean his head down and pulls in for another kiss. I kiss him back as his hand then travels up my top, to my bra. Then his fingers linger around my waist as one of mine travel his back and another hand travels through his hair.

I think you know what happened after this.
