( fourty. )
June March awoke once again to the sound of sirens. She shot up from her spot, her eyes staring into the darkness all around her. It took her a moment to realization where she was, what she was doing there, and why she was hidden in a shed.
"Shit." She whispered as she dragged a heavy hand over her face. She crawled towards the lantern, clicking it on and looking around her. She crawled her way to the door, pushing it open and holding her hand over her eyes as the sun caught them. She shut the door back, her eyes adjusting back to the darker room. She pulled her shoes back on, standing up and grabbing the bike. She pulled the helmet onto her head, pushing open the shed doors and making her way into the yard with the bike. She started the engine, sitting on the bike and making her way towards the gate.
"Hey you!" She heard one of the officers say but she ignored them, busting through the gate and taking off. She drove towards the first place she could think to go. For some reason the cops didn't follow her, making her sigh in relief as she rode. Her brother had taught her how to ride the bike about 4 months prior to all of the crazy stuff happening , and she couldn't help but mentally thank him for it.
June finally pulled up outside of the Wreck dropping the bike to the ground and pulling the helmet off. She pulled her hood on, looking around to make sure no one was around before running up to the front of the building. She knocked on the doors, hoping that she was correct about who would be here. The door unlocked and before she could even say anything she was pulled inside and out of the view of the streets. She looked at who it was and was met with the worried eyes of Kie.
"I'm so glad you were here." June sighed in relief as Kie pulled her into a hug. She returned it, the both of them standing there for a good minute before she heard another voice come from the dining room.
"Kie who are you talking to?" June pulled back from her hug with Kie and rounded the corner. Pope and JJ were also there, making her heart skip a beat knowing that they were all there.
"June. Are you okay?" Pope asked, standing from his cot that he had slept on. JJ turned his head at that, quickly making his way over to June. She nodded and opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by JJ who pulled her into a tight hug.
"Shit June I was so worried about you. I barely slept last night." JJ said, burying his head in her hair as he breathed her in. "What happened yesterday?" JJ asked as June pushed her head into his chest.
"Yeah what the hell went on last night?" Pope asked, shaking his head and looking at June. June and JJ pulled away from each other and June pulled a chair out, taking a seat and letting out a sigh.
"Is John B okay?" Kie asked her.
"I have no idea where John B is or if he's okay. Last time I saw him he had gotten away from the cops." They all looked at her confused and she started to elaborate.
"When I was in the car and then we had to get out I ran to um...Zachs house. And then I took a nap and then Kelce came in to uh- came into Zachs room and said he had John B trapped in a closet so I ran to go get him and then they put me in the closet too. And then the cops came but John B got out in time but I didn't and then I got arrested but I saw Rafe and then I kneed Shoupe in the balls which was really fun and then Zach picked me up-" At that JJ sighed, raising his eyebrows. "-and I went and crashed in an unfinished house but then Rafe came and tried to kill me so I ran and slept in my backyard and then rode the bike here this morning." June explained, scratching the back of her neck as she avoided eye contact with JJ. He had his arms crossed over his chest, his jaw clenched as he looked at her.
"I'm sure he's fine." June added, nodding her head as she put on a sheepish grin.
"So what are we going to do?" Kie asked, but June was too focused on JJ who was too focused on her. He was looking over her body, something about her outfit not adding up.
"Well I'm glad Zach is doing good. Did you tell him hi for me when you were partying it up with him yesterday?" JJ said sarcastically, making June sigh in exasperation.
"Can we not do this right now?" June said, gesturing between them and then running a hand over her face.
"We're not doing anything. I was just asking how your best friend Zach was doing?" JJ said, shrugging and flipping this hat around.
"I was running for my life. He was helping me okay?" June defended,throwing her head back. Kie and Pope took that as their cue to leave,both of them walking in opposite directions to get away from the couple.
"Did he help you into his hoodie too?" June's eyes widened at that, her face going bright red. She shook her head quickly, denying his claim.
"This isn't even his sweatshirt." June lied, biting the inside of her cheek as she did so. JJ nodded, his eyebrows knitted together in disbelief.
"It literally says Roberts on the back of it." June face palmed, cursing herself for being stupid enough to wear this around him. But she also wasn't understanding why the sweatshirt was such a big deal. She stood from her seat, walking towards JJ and grabbing his cheek. She pushed herself against him and wrapped her other arm around his back.
"Hey listen...nothing happened between Zach and I and nothing ever will. I just needed to change because they knew what I was wearing and I would be spotted easier okay? Speaking of...how does it feel to be the boyfriend of one of OBXs most wanted people?" June wiggled her eyebrows making JJ crack a smile. He wrapped his arms around her waist now, pressing a kiss to her lips before pulling back with a smirk.
"It's pretty hot actually. Makes me like you even more." JJ said before kissing her again. June grabbed his arm as they pulled back, leading him towards the bathroom with a grin but before they could get inside Kie rushed over.
"No! Not here guys. Nasty." She shook her head frantically, pushing the two of them away from the bathroom door. June pouted, making JJ chuckle. June still had blood dried to her legs, something she hadn't realized until she sat back down by JJ. She looked away quickly, the thought of the sheriff making her stomach turn.
"Do you have a phone here? That works?" June asked, an idea suddenly coming to her mind. She looked at Kie who was nodding, gesturing for her to follow. She followed after her into an office like room, Kie pointing at a phone on the desk. June thanked her before grabbing the phone and dialing her mother's number. There was two rings and then her voice.
"Hello? June is that you?" Her mother's voice was hoarse, she sounded worried. June raised her eyebrows and then answered.
"Mom it's me." June said.
"Honey thank God. What the hell is going on?" Her mother's voice was frantic, making June's heart beat fast.
"I-I'm being framed for a murder." June said, making her shake her head as she finally said it out loud. It sounded crazy coming out of her mouth.
"June. This doesn't have anything to do with Ward Cameron and that stupid gold does it?" June raised her eyebrows again at this, wondering how her mother knew about Wards involvement or about the gold.
"How do you know about the gold?" June asked.
"He wanted us to help him find it, help him with funds so not everything was coming out of his pockets. Your dad said yes but then he broke it off because we figured out you were looking for it too. He went crazy when your dad pulled out of the deal, he tried to hurt your dad, he tried to stab him. That's why we left for the trip 3 days early." June another explained, shedding a light on the situation.
"But I just wanted to say that I think I have to go away for awhile. So tell dad that I love him and that I love you too and I'll be in touch okay?" June voice broke on the last word, making her strong demeanor melt away as she thought of how worried her parents are right now.
"June no. This is something we can fix. We can make it be-"
"I love you guys." June said before hanging up the phone. Her head was buzzing with new information and she needed to tell JJ and the others. If her dad reported Ward for assault they could be one step closer to taking him down. June left the office, her arms crossed as she looked up. She gasped, dropping behind a counter as she saw Kies mother walk by and towards a supply closet. She grabbed something from it and then soon left, clearly not seeing June. She sighed in relief, making her way back into the room and pulling the hood of her shirt up.
"How'd it go?" Pope asked her as they all stood around.
"Ward Cameron asked my dad to help him. And then tried to kill him."
