| iii. MILWAUKEE BEVERAGE

"Hey, Sarah!" A very drunk JJ Maybank called out to the blonde girl. Victoria placed her hand on his shoulder, already knowing this wasn't going to end well. The boy had a tendency to start fights while being drunk. "Can I interest you in a tasty Milwaukee beverage?" He asked, handing Sarah the beer.

"No, thanks." She replied awkwardly, moving back a little. 

Victoria squeezed his arm for the second time, trying to warn him. The boy came closer to Sarah with a teasing smile on his face. "C'mon, JJ." Victoria muttered, not wanting the blonde boy to start anything. 

"Is it not fancy enough for you?" He teased

"No, we were just leav-"

A man who stood right next to the blonde girl put his hand on JJ chest, slightly pushing him away. "Hey, hey, hey, you know what?" He told them drunkenly. "I'll take it. Thank you, man. I appreciate it." 

"That's nice, Topper, but I didn't ask you." JJ said. "Now, if you said pretty please, maybe."

It was just a matter of seconds when Topper threw the drink in JJ's face, making him grab his shirt. Victoria clutched the blonde's wrist and tried to pull him up from Topper's body. She saw in the corner of her eye, Pope and John B coming in to help. She managed to push JJ away from Topper. 

"Dirty Pouges!" Topper shouted, making John B turn around and push him angrily. Victoria let go of JJ wrist and ran over to the curly haired boy.

"John B! We're supposed to be incognito, remember?" Pope said quickly, accidentally distracting John B, making Topper punch him in the result. 

"Hey, John B, don't make me drown you like your old man, all right?" He threatened as everyone around them chanted 'fight!'.

A crowd could be seen forming around the two boys in the water. Chants and cheers echoed loudly through the air as people found entertainment in the fight. Kiara's grip on Victoria's hands only tightened at the sight of the fight breaking out in front of them, trying to calm herself down.

It only took a few seconds for Topper to tackle John B into the ocean, making him fall over before they both got up and began punching each other in their ribs. They began to circle each other as everyone continued to shout and chant for them to keep going. 

"Stop! John B!" Victoria shouted, before stepping closer to Pope and JJ. 

"Come on!" John B screamed as Topper punched him in his face, making him stumble back into the ocean. 

And before everyone registered what was happening, Topper started to drown John B in the ocean water. The Pouges worriedly looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"He's drowning him!" Kiara said terrified for her friend's life. 

JJ made his way over to Topper, pulling something out of his pocket and placing it against the back of his head. Victoria gasped in shock as she saw what JJ was holding. 

"Put the gun down, JJ!"

"We're good. We're good." Topper said shakily, trying to get JJ to stop and put the gun away from his head. "Come on, man!"

The blonde took the gun away from Topper's head, turning away from him and now facing Sarah. He looked her deadly in the eye, before firing two shots in the air, making Victoria stumble back and almost trip over her feet. "Get the hell off out side of the island!"

"Are you crazy? You idiot!" Pope yelled, shoving the blonde boy. 

"I'm saving his life, okay? I can't just stand there and watch him get hurt!" JJ exclaimed in defense. 

The group whipped their heads back around to see John B lying unconscious in the water, Kiara had his limp head resting carefully in her lap. At the sight this, Victoria quickly made her way over to her friend. Fortunately the boy's chest is steadily rising and falling as it supposed to be. 

"Let's take him to the Chateau." Victoria mumbled under her breath, loud enough for Kiara to hear.

Victoria and JJ have seated themselves outside John B's house on the hammock attached to two trees. They were trying to clear their minds from the fight that had place a few hours ago. Kiara and Pope decided to stay with the curly haired boy and continue taking care of his injuries and reduce as much pain as possible. 

"You did a good thing, JJ." The girl stated, breaking the silence as the blonde boy glanced at her. 

He sighed. "Yeah, I know."

His eyes showed sadness mixed with anger. JJ didn't regret his decision of bringing the gun to the beach, he was more proud of himself, but the way his friends yelled at him for doing it, made him regret his decision. The boy didn't want to hurt anyone - he was just protecting his friend.

"Do you think John B will be okay though?" She asked, her hazel eyes travelling towards the night sky.

"Yeah, he's tough." He replied

The girl reached out her hand towards the boy's hand and squeezed it, trying to comfort the blonde boy. A smile spread across JJ's face as a calm and warm feeling washed over his body, gently squeezing back Victoria's hand.

A joint is held in his right hand between his two fingers that only is raised to be pressed against his lips, puffs of smoke leaving his mouth, fading into the air. The only thing that could be heard was birds chirping in the distance and the swaying hammock.

"Look, I'm callin' it off. All right?" John B blurted out, making the group look at him in confusion. "Peterkin said if I stay out of the marsh, she'll help me with DCS."

"And you believed her?" JJ asked, getting up from his seat and walking up to Victoria. "You believed an actual cop." He said in disbelief.

The girl rolled her eyes and sighed. "She won't help you with DCS, that's not how it works, John B." She said, while shaking her head.

"All I gotta do is stay out of the marsh for a couple days, and she'll help me out, it doesn't help that your ass was the one shooting the gun." The curly haired boy argued.

JJ scoffed. "You know what I should've done? Just let Topper drown your ass."

"Yeah, because Topper was gonna drown me?" John B sarcastically replied.

"It looked like it." Pope shrugged his arms, receiving scolding look from Kiara in result.

"So... you're blaming JJ for sticking up for you and being a good friend?" Victoria asked, now annoyance filling her chest. She hated when the group argued over stupid little things so she wanted this talk to be already over.

"He was the one who held a gun to Topper's head." John B fired back.

Victoria furrowed her eyebrows. "And you let yourself be provoked by Topper."

"Look, guys. They don't want us to go down into the marsh and that means there's something valuable down there, and you know it." JJ spoke, leaning against the wooden wall. He turned his body to face Pope, who was looking down all the time. "And I understand why you don't wanna go, you're the golden boy, way too much to risk."

Pope only nodded at his words, slightly rolling his eyes when JJ turned around.

"Kie, you're already rich as fuck anyway, so why would you bother?"

Kiara just roller her eyes at him in response. She didn't like that fact she's rich, because Kooks are viewed as the snobby society that doesn't care about anything in the world besides money.

JJ's eyes shifted to Victoria, their eyes meeting. "Vic, you also have nothing to lose." He turned his gaze away from her, feeling guilty. "Listen I have a plan, you've got the key to Cameron's big boat?"

John B shook his head in disbelief, sighing. "No, JJ." He said, crossing his arms across his chest.

"There's scuba gear inside, man. We just borrow that, and then we go down to the wreck this afternoon, and that is what's gonna save you, man." JJ ignored John B's previous response. "You don't see rich kids going into foster care, do you?"

"That's not a good idea, JJ, we can think about something else than stealing from the Cameron's." Victoria shook her head, looking at the blonde boy scoldingly.

JJ scoffed again. "C'mon are you in with us or out?" He asked her, patiently waiting for response.

"Do what you want to do, just don't regret this, after Ward finds out about this." She blinked a few times, before sitting back in her seat.

"Don't listen to her, Ward won't find out about this."

And that was another John B's mistake - listening to JJ.
