They parked the Jeep near the van, waiting for the boys to come back. John B and Pope were there first with the drone. Isis bit her lip with nervosity, looking for JJ's blonde head to come up eventually. When she saw him, she got out of the car and ran straight to him. He welcomed her in his arms. They hugged for a moment. Isis didn't want to let go. It might be stupid, but she was afraid for him.

Nothing new under the sun, actually.

Finally, she put her feet back on the ground. She grabbed his arm tight and came back into the van with him. Kie understood that she'd have to bring back the Jeep alone, so she gave an rendezvous at the restaurant.

Night had fallen when they got there. Isis was already yawning, ready to go to sleep, but the call of hunger was stronger. And it seemed like everyone agreed.

"Stealing drones makes you hungry," said Kie as they parked on front of the Wreck.

"Borrowing, dude," Isis corrected with a smile.

"Yeah, that's right."

"What I would do to a beer and shrimp and grits right now," sighed JJ getting out of the van.

"It would not be pretty," replied Pope.

They entered the restaurant in single file. Kie went to hug his father behind the desk. Isis made him a smile.

"Hi Mike!"

"Hi, sweetie. How you doin?"

"Fine, I guess. How is it going down here?"

"Didn't turn it over once," Mike replied.

"It's probably just... bad luck because of the storm," said Kie.

"Yeah, I'll be sure to tell the banks that."

Isis let out a chortle.

"Guess now is not the best time to ask for free food for me and my friends?" asked Kie with a wince.

Mike sighed. Isis withdrew discreetly, leaving her friend with him. She got to the boys, and JJ immediatly enfolded her in his arms. She rested against his chest, waiting for Kie to come to them with her dad's answer.

She finally told them to settle around an empty table, and JJ raised his fist in victory.

"I'll help you," said Isis following Kie in the kitchen.

"Thanks!"

She knew this place like her own house, and was pretty used to its functioning. She brought some leftovers on the table, along with Kiara who ended up telling her to sit and eat. What she did without a question, cause she was really hungry.

She ate these fries as if it was her first meal in a whole year. They all did the same, actually. They were determined not to leave anything in their dishes. JJ was knocking back his beer without even breathing.

"It feels so good," he let out with a satisfied sigh.

Isis chuckled.

A few minutes later, she stood up.

"Where are you going?" asked JJ.

"Get the hoodie, I left it in the van."

"I'm coming with you."

She didn't protest. She didn't want to. They just walked out holding each other's hand as if it were usual.

At the end of the walkway, he let go of her.

"I'm going to take a piss."

She didn't answer. He disappeared in the shadows. She went straight to the van and opened the back door. She searched for a few seconds, narrowing her eyes in order to see better, but her short sight added to the dark of the night made the thing hard.

She finally found the hoodie, and put it right on. She started as a hand grabbed her shoulder.

"Oh my," she let out. "Never do that again, I almost had a heart attack."

"Are you sure it's not because of my handsomeness?"

"Yeah, sure," she sneered. "If you say so."

Without warning, he lifted her up and threw her over his shoulders. Isis gave a small cry of surprise.

"What are you doing?? This is the most uncomfortable position ever!" she giggled, catching hold of his shirt, far from confident about their balance.

He still carried her to the restaurant's door, before putting her back down. Her face was red because of her blood rushed to her head, but she was laughing. JJ loved seeing her like this.

"You know you're as light as a feather?"

"Okay, that's a lie," she replied. "But like, what was that for?"

"Don't know. Just felt like doing it."

"Thank you for these enlightening explanations," she teased. "When will you feel like snogging me?"

It just popped out of her mouth. For a second, she kinda regretted it. But he bursted out laughing, and she smiled.

"Don't know either," he said shaking his head in amusement. "Don't get me wrong, I want to, but like-- now it's kind of lame. I mean, I just took a leak, and-"

"Yeah, you're right," she chortled. "I hope it'll be a bit more romantic though."

"Yeah, totally. You can trust me on this."

She had a smirk.

"Don't let me down!"

"Never, honey," JJ replied.

They walked back into the Wreck. Isis could feel her heart melt. He wanted to kiss her. He just hadn't found the right time yet.

At least, it was clear in their mind. They were meant to be together.

Isis was so happy she couldn't stay still. She dragged Pope in the middle of the room and forced him to dance with her. John B and Kie were already moving their body to the rhythm of music, and he seemed annoyed. Isis didn't want him to feel this way. She wanted to bring a bright smile on his face, at least as bright as hers. And she succeeded.

He always smiled when she was acting like that. And he wasn't the only one.

Later, JJ joined them. They all met in a group hug, each of them smiling widely.

Isis didn't want to think about it, but she was afraid. She feared the time when this would be over. What would she do then?

It never bothered her before, but now she was scared of loneliness, and how her life would be empty without them.

JJ and her ended up dancing together. He made her spin as she laughed. The others were glancing at them with knowing eyes.

When they decided it was time for them to catch some sleep, Kie invited Isis to stay over at hers. She shared a look with JJ.

"Suit yourself," he shrugged. "See you tomorrow anyway."

She stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek softly.

"Good night, honey."

He left with John B and Pope. As soon as they walked out the restaurant, Kie jumped on her friend.

"What did you both do outside??" she asked.

Isis giggled.

"I went looking for my hoodie, and he took a piss," she replied, teasing.

"Seriously, Izzy!"

She bit her lip.

"We maybe said we want to kiss each other. But... when the time comes."

Kie went wild with joy.

"Oh my God, I KNEW it!" she screamed hugging her. "You literally said 'we're in love and we know it, so we'll kiss in the most romantic way', girl that's AMAZING! You're my OTP, I swear."

Isis bursted out laughing.

It felt great to be in love with someone knowing it was mutual. But it felt even more satisfying when all of your friends were so supportive.

She was lucky to have them.
