{ "You're just pussy whipped." }

"I mean it's obvious, right?" John B spoke up from the drivers seat "A family heirloom. What better place to hide a message? He had to know it was gonna get back to me right?" he turned to Kie who was sitting beside him in the passenger seat.

"Yeah." Kie replied in an unsure voice "It's possible."

"It could also be possible that you're concocting wild theories to help." Pope paused "You know, deal with your sad feels." He said as Star and Kiara gave Pope a funny look as if to say really?.

"Bro, you know how i process my sad feels?" JJ piped up beside Star "Dank nugs and the stickiest of ickiest."

Star nodded her head in agreement "Yeah, or hide away in your room and not eat for days." Star shrugged and laughed a little, she had a thing about making fun of her past trauma.

"That's not funny." JJ mumbled as he nudged the girl with his hand, becoming serious while Kiara and Pope gave her a sympathetic look as they all knew about the hard time she went through after her mother left. The time when she didn't eat for weeks on end, staying in her bed and slept all day. Or didn't sleep at all. But JJ and the rest were always there for her during that time.

"I'm not concocting, okay?" John B said to Pope, not hearing what was being said in the back "My dad's trying to give me a message." He looked around the back to look at the others.

"If it helps you believe John B." kie said in a quiet and comforting tone.

"Look, i don't need a therapy session okay?" The boy turned to Kie "I'm not trippin' out."

"It's okay to trip bro but..." JJ tried to speak, but John B once again interrupted another person.

"Look my dad is missing!" he replied quickly and became defensive as he turned to the back to look at JJ, Pope and Star before turning back to face the road "Missing. You don't know what it's like to have the person closest to you vanish. And then have no idea what happened to them. Just wake up every morning wondering."

The rest stayed quiet, especially Star, because what John B forgot in that moment is that Star did know what that felt like, because her mother vanished randomly one day. Sure, she wasn't the closest to her mother, nor was it as bad as what happens to John B's dad but she was still her mum, if that's what the girl would even call her. But she vanished without a word, she had left while Star wasn't even home so when the girl got back her mother was nowhere to be seen. She hadn't even said goodbye. Her father had told her what happened and said she went back to Spain, but it had been two years now, and Star had never heard from her since. For all she knew her mother could be dead.

the other three gazed over to Star who sat on the floor beside JJ's feet, just looking down at the floor, now thinking about her mother and she felt a bit hurt about what had John B said, but knew she wouldn't get mad because she knew he didn't mean any harm by it, he just forgot.

JJ gently put his hand on top of her's that rested on her knee for comfort as he could see her staring into space. Making Star look up at the boy who gave her a reassuring smile, which she returned before going back to staring at the floor, JJ's hand not once leaving her's.

"It's been almost a year." Kiara said, turning back to the boy, trying to be as nice as possible as John B turned to Kie with a sad look on his face.

"Hey, he could have been kidnapped." JJ piped up, trying to ease whatever the feeling was in the van "That's definitely a possibility."

"Yeah, could be in a Soviet sub getting interrogated by the KGB somewhere." Pope agreed.

"Absolutely." JJ nodded "Or uh..Atlantis."

"JJ." Kiara said to get the boy to stop talking before turning back to face John B "What do you think the message is?"

"Redfield." John B simply replied.

~

The Twinkie pulled up outside Redfiled lighthouse and the group popped out, walking up to the small white fence. According to John B it was his father's favourite place, so knew that it had something to do with it.

"Right, here's what's gonna happen." John B spun on his heel and pointed directly at JJ "You're gonna post up and look for bogeys, okay?"

"Wait, why me?" The blonde asked confused.

"Because your not coming." Pope spoke for John B. "Neither is Star."

"Why?" JJ and Star spoke in unison. In all honesty Star didn't really want to go with John B. Not that she didn't care, of course she did. She was just far too tired, and no way in hell was she walking up all those steps.

"Because there are independent and dependent variables. And you're independent we don't know what you two will do."

"Shut up Pope!" JJ snapped at the boy becoming any "Just shut up Pope!"

"Listen to me for a second." John B interrupted the two arguing. "Pope, you stand look out with Star and JJ so they don't do anything stupid. Okay?" He turned to Pope as he pointed at JJ and Star before truing to the blonde "If we get split up, we meet back at JJ's house."

"Great." Kiara agreed, before her and John B walked away towards the light house. Leaving a frustrated JJ, a homework obsessed Pope and a bored Star who had already plopped herself on the ground, leaning her back against the tree.

"I'm gonna work on my merit scholarship essay." Pope told the two as he made his way over to the Twinkie "And i'm trying to keep felonies to a minimum."

"All right, would you just shut up already?" JJ shut up the rambling boy as he started doing keepie uppies beside Star with a rock he found.

After some time Star began to get really fed up with waiting "JJ" The girl moaned of boredom, throwing her head back "You got weed? i'm dying of boredom here!" she knew that would pass the time.

"Nah, sorry." he apologised, catching the rock in his hand as it was in the air "I got some at my house though. I'll get you some when we get there."

"Okay." she mumbled "Pope!" Star shouted to the boy who was sat in the van doing his homework with the door closed.

"Yeah?" he slid open the door, popping his head out to look over at the girl.

"You done doin' your homework yet?" she turned to the boy "I'm tired and i wanna sleep." she said as she closed her eyes, leaning her head back on the tree.

"Yup, all yours." he stepped out of the van, walking over to JJ as Star walked to the Twinkie and shut the door.

After some time of Pope and JJ throwing a rock back and fourth Pope broke the silence "So you tell her yet?"

"What?" the blonde scrunched up his face as he caught the rock.

"Star. You tell her?"

"Tell her what?" He replied, acting dumb. He knew fine well what Pope was talking about.

"You know what i'm talking about." Pope rolled his eyes "You tell her how you feel?"

"What?" JJ yelled "What?" he said in a quiet tone, stopping as he held the rock in his hand for a second.

"Don't what me." Pope rolled his eyes for a second time "You know what i mean."

"No i don't" JJ shrugged, throwing the rock back to Pope "I got no idea."

"Don't be an idiot. You've liked the girl since you were like eight ."

"Thirteen." JJ corrected the boy. Even though the rest knew it was way before that, JJ always said he started liking her when he was Thirteen, but that was probably because JJ was only eight at the time and didn't really know what it meant, nor did he want to admit it to himself or others.

"Ha!" Pope pointed at the boy, seeing as though he got him to admit it, even though he had admitted it already to everyone except Star and Kie as he knew the second he told Kiara she'd go running to Star. "I got you!"

"No, dude. Of course I've not told her. And i'm never gonna."

"Why not!?" Pope said, becoming fed up as it had been about eleven years, three to JJ and he still hadn't told the girl he was literally obsessed with how he felt.

"Because." the blonde paused, as he stopped throwing the rock "Because what if she doesn't feel the same way." he said becoming a bit sad as that was one of the main things he thought about since liking the girl. "And then... you know. She doesn't feel the same and then i ruin our friendship." he shrugged as he sat beside the tree Star was sitting against before.

"Of course she feels the same, have you actually seen how she is when she's around you?" he looked right at JJ as he sat down beside him, whose head shot up "She always looks at you when you don't know, she hardly ever doesn't have a smile on her face when you're around. You're like her favourite person ever. She tells you pretty much everything, and never once have i seen her move away when you touch her. And we both know how she is with the whole physical touch thing." The boy listed all the things as JJ sat and listened carefully, a smile creeping its way on to his.

"Really?" JJ asked, not looking at Pope as he didn't want the boy to see how much he was smiling, but Pope saw anyway.

"Really." Pope turned around, now facing the blonde as he crossed his legs "Look. She might not admit it, but she definitely likes you. Or maybe she just hasn't figured it out yet." He shrugged "But she will, i know she will." Pope gave the boy a small smile, which JJ returned. JJ loved Pope, they all did. And he gave really good advice when you needed it.

Just as the boys were about to stand up they heard the sirens of cops cars pulling up.

"Shit, cops!" Pope spoke worried.

"Shit! go, go, go." JJ explained, as the pair ran over to the Twinkie, and in no time JJ slammed on the gas, quickly driving away and leaving John B and Kiara. He knew they'd be okay.

"Did John B find what he was looking for." Star yawned, getting woken up by all the commotion.

"Uhh, i don't know." JJ replied as he sped away "We left without them."

"What?!" The girl shouted, now completely awake "¿Por qué carajo hiciste eso?" she shouted in Spanish, something she seemed to do when she was mad.

"There were cops alright." JJ defended himself, understanding some of what the girl said as she had given him some lessons "We had to or we would've probably been arrested." The van started to slow down as they were sure they were far enough away as he turned to Star "And i don't care if i go to jail but i do if you do." JJ replied as Star sat back down and Pope smirked to himself, man JJ was pussy whipped. Big time. 

"It's fine." Pope turned to the girl "Remember what John B said, we'll meet them back at JJ's."

~

The trio had ended up making their way to Pope's after about an hour at JJ's, knowing that Kiara and John B weren't gonna be there any time soon.

"You think they got arrested?" Star asked, squinting her eyes from the sun as she turned to Pope and JJ who were sat fixing something Star had no clue about.

"Nah." JJ replied "They'll be fine."

"What if the whole thing was a set up and they got kidnapped." Star shrugged, now completely high as fuck, as the weed JJ had promised her was the first thing she ran to when they arrived at the boys house "Oh! or maybe they got taken to Area 51 and are being tested on to be turned into Aliens as we speak. You ever think of that?"

"JJ, why'd you let her have weed?" Pope looked up at the boy.

"What!" He threw his arms up in defence "She wanted it!. Plus, she asked me like way before we got to mine. And come on, i can't say no to her." he pointed to the girl who lay with her back on the ground and her legs up against the side of the house, practically upside down. As Pope chuckled to himself.

Of course JJ couldn't say no, because what he didn't admit is that Star was always so cute when she was high or drunk and was always all over the blonde. Not that he only gave her weed or alcohol for that reason, of course not, he only gave it to her when she asked.

"What?" JJ asked, as he could see the his friend smirking to himself "What, what is it?" Pope just laughed again "Dude! what Pope?"

"Nothing." He shook his head as he laughed "You're just pussy whipped." Pope mumbled, even though he knew that whatever Star heard she would probably forget in the next day.

"What!" He asked shocked "Dude, shut up! she's right there." he spoke quietly and pointed at the girl who was in her own world.

"She's not listening." Pope rolled his eyes as he continued to laugh "But you didn't even deny it because you so are, look at you."

"I am not!" the blonde crossed his arms like a toddler in a huff.

"Okayyy." Pope laughed.

And just before JJ could defend himself the Twinkie had pulled up as John b motioned his finger for them to come.

"Let's ride." JJ said as he picked Star up, holding onto her so she wouldn't fall, ignoring Pope's smirk as he walked past the pair and mumbled into JJ's ear.

"Pussy whipped."

"Dude!" JJ threw his hands in the air as he watched Pope get into the van. Before walking over himself.

"Is she high?" John B asked the pair as he turned to look at JJ who was helping the girl get in.

"Yup." Pope said as he plopped himself in the passenger seat "High as fuck."

"Really JJ, why?" John B asked the boy who now had Star sitting on his lap just behind John B's seat, JJ didn't mind though.

"She wanted it!" he shouted, why the hell was everyone getting mad at him.

"Yeah but we got stuff to do." John B ran a hand through his hair, becoming frustrated.

"Look, she'll have sobered up a bit once we get there okay?" JJ didn't actually know if the girl would be fine by then but he just said that so John B would stop nagging him. "Can we just go and get Kie please?" Making John B huff before driving off to go get the girl from The Wreck.

~

"I'll get her!" Star raised a hand as they pulled up to The Wreck, about to stand up before JJ pulled her back down on to his lap.

"No you're not." JJ replied, before turning to Pope.

"I'll get her." Pope said as he opened the van door and went to get Kiara.

After about five minutes Pope came back out, leaning over the white wood railing and shouted "She said she's not coming."

"Why not?" JJ asked "What did you do to her John B?"

"Shit." John B hit the steering wheel in frustration "Hang on, i'll deal with it."

"They so kissed." Star said to JJ as they watched John B walk into The Wreck.

"You think?" JJ asked, becoming shocked.

"Definitely. Or they fucked." She shrugged.

Kiara and John B now sat in the front and Star who was still high as fuck accidentally said something she probably shouldn't have.

"Did you two fuck?" Star blurted out from the back where she was sprawled out on the floor with her legs on Pope's who sat opposite her.

"What!" John B and Kiara said in unison, completely shocked as Pope and JJ laughed.

"Or kiss? i don't know. It was one of them."

"No we didn't." Kiara replied for both her and John B. But the rest knew that was a complete lie.

"You better tell me later bitch." Star shouted over to Kiara who looked at the girl to say shut the fuck up before i kill you.

"Look." John B stated, trying to get the girl away from the topic "I know i was wrong about the lighthouse. And wrong about everything els going on." He said as JJ and Star gave each other a you think? look. "But i was right about one thing okay?. My dad is trying to tell me something." he turned to the three in the back.

Star who was not listening quickly shot up hearing the faint sound of the radio "Oh my god! John B turn it up!"

John B laughed and rolled his eyes at the girl as he turned the radio up and Keep'n it real by Shaggy now blaring on the radio.

That helped relieve the tension in the van, it also helped John B not think about his father for a couple of minutes as everyone sang along, JJ and Star knowing every word. And Pope who tired.

Another long ass chapter

By the way please correct me if the Spanish is ever wrong. I have been learning it for a while but I'm not that good at it.

I also don't know if Pope and JJ were at Pope's in this episode or not but when John B pulled up it didn't look like JJ's but idk.
