"𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭."

I CONSTANTLY THINK ABOUT MY DECISIONS, how would've things happened if i didn't do this or that. Most of my thoughts just stay on my brain, I sometimes feel like I'm too much if I expressed them. I've been thinking about all the stuff that's happened for the past few days, all the betrayals, secrets and tears that had happened. Why? Why could this be happening?

I walked for a while around the town, suddenly stumbling across Heyward's shop. A slight smile appeared on my face, right after I spotted, Pope. He seemed very focused on what he was doing, placing a couple of bags and boxes on the front entrance of the shop. I started to approach his way, suddenly seeing the way his facial expression dropped after looking towards the distance.

I turned around searching for whatever he was looking at, spotting instantly what it was. My smile also dropping as I made eye contact with Topper and Rafe, who stared at our direction.

As I exchanged glances with Rafe, he suddenly raised his lips as if he threw a kiss. I instantly rolled my eyes by his action, looking back at Pope, who quickly started to run inside frightened by the two boys presence.

June: "Pope! Stop! Shit." -I mumbled, trying to make the boy stop his tracks but failed as he entered the building quickly.

I sighed, looking over towards Topper's vehicle seeing how Rafe, was chuckling. I rapidly walked towards the two boys, stopping in front of them.

June: "What the hell do you two want?" -I asked, crossing my arms.

Rafe: "Wow, what's with that attitude?"

June: "Shut up, Rafe." -I demanded, making him smile as he held eye contact with me.

Topper: "Tell your little friend to come out, now."

June: "Didn't I let you know something, Topper? I told you to stay away from the Cut, don't you remember?"

As I mentioned that, Topper, sighed annoyed. He quickly stepped out of his car, followed by Rafe, who rapidly approached towards the both of us. I looked at the two boys, almost making me see darts being thrown at them over how annoying they were.

Topper: "Well, you also broke the rules. Do you think I'm stupid?" -he whispered, stepping closer to me.

June: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Rafe: "He's talking about you and your friends, making his boat sink. That's what he's talking about, June."

As I heard Rafe's response, I could've sworn my heart dropped to my ass. Was I going to jail? Probably. Did I knew this was going to happen? Absolutely.

June: "Again, I seriously don't know what the hell you're talking about. I'm not gonna keep up with this conversation, I got stuff to do." -I lied, proceeding to step away from the pair.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching behind me. Soon after, I felt a hand grab my wrist to turn me around.

June: "What?" -I asked, annoyed already as I looked over to Rafe's eyes.

He stood in front of me, looking at me with apologetic eyes. I tried getting his grip off me but failed miserably, he held onto my wrist strongly making me wince.

June: "Let me go." -I demanded, whispering to him as I avoided to look at his eyes.

Rafe: "June, I'm really sorry."

I scoffed as I heard his sentence, aggressively pulling my arm off. Stepping away from him, as soon as he tried to step near me again.

June: "Sorry?! For what? Because, you've done many shitty stuff for the past days. So tell me, what is it that you're really sorry for?"

I asked, putting my finger on his chest as I pushed him back.

Rafe: "For everything, look, I don't know what happened to me. I fucked up, I know that and I'm sorry, June."

June: "Do you expect me to accept your apology? After you almost killed my friend? You assaulted him! Why? Cause of some stupid beer box?!"

Topper: "Rafe, let's go! She's not worth it." -he shouted, making me push Rafe, aside to walk towards the blond boy.

June: "And you, shut the fuck up before I slap the shit out of you again."

I walked towards the boy, making him death stare me as I pointed my finger at him.

I noticed Rafe, walking past by me to head inside the vehicle. Topper, doing the same as he still looked at me. He turned the engine of the car on, rolling the window up as he drove off quickly.

Pope: "June, get in the truck now!"

I turned around, seeing how scared the boy seemed. I frowned my eyebrows confused, walking towards him.

June: "What's wrong?"

Pope: "We need to warn JJ, that they know. I think we're fried, this is not good."

June: "You see? I told you, Pope! I told you both that what y'all did was not a good idea, did you guys listened? No."

Pope: "Alright, alright! I know, and I'm sorry. But, please let's get moving to see, JJ." -he said, pleading me with his eyes.

June: "Fine, let's go."

We both ran towards a near by truck, probably belonging to Heyward, quickly heading inside. I jumped as Pope, drove off rapidly away from the place.

Seriously, when is this shit going to end?
________________________________
After what felt like an eternity, we arrived over to JJ's home. Getting startled by what sounded like gunshots, I looked at Pope, with widened eyes only to see him not bothered at all.

He headed out of the car, quickly getting followed by me who was still terrified over the loud noise. I held onto Pope's arm, following close behind. The loud noise getting each time near us, as the both of us walked towards the back part of the blond boys home.

Pope: "JJ!" -the boy shouted, stopping in front of the blond one, who kept shouting at a teddy bear.

JJ, kept on whispering towards the stuffed animal's direction, making me look at Pope, almost horrified by the situation.

June: "What the hell is he doing with a gun?!"

Pope: "JJ!" -he exclaimed, ignoring my question completely as he still tried gaining the other boy's attention.

June: "JJ!"

The blond one turned his head our way, seeing the both of us looking at him. He quickly looked at us confused by our presence, as I waved at him awkwardly. But before he could speak, Pope, interjected.

Pope: "They know." -he mentioned, making JJ, take his headphones off.

JJ: "What?"

June: "That they know, dumbass!"

JJ: "Alright, chill, guys. Alright? They don't know shit." -he replied, stepping closer to us.

Pope: "Topper, knows I sunk his boat."

JJ: "How do you know they know?"

As JJ, asked the other boy began to pace around the backyard. I mean, shit, I would be doing the same thing if I was him.

June: "Because Rafe and Topper, posted outside of Heyward's shop. They were stalking Pope, literally." -I replied, trying to make Pope, stop pacing around.

JJ: "Will you two calm down and get a grip? They don't know shit."

June: "Get a grip?! How?! We could go to literal jail! Besides, he literally told me that they know."

JJ: "They don't know shit, because we didn't do anything." -he mentioned, making me scoff as I looked over to, Pope.

June: "What the fuck does that even mean?"

JJ: "If someone asks us anything, we deny."

Pope: "They have cameras. They could've seen me!" -he exclaimed, his face inches away from JJ's as he mentioned.

JJ: "There was no power. How could they have seen you?"

June: "It's Figure Eight, they got freaking generators, JJ Maybank!" -I shouted, making Pope, nod quickly.

Pope: "Exactly! We're genuinely screwed, man!"

June: "What do we do? I mean, do we pay for his boat again or something?" -I asked, making JJ, death stare me.

Pope: "They don't give scholarships to kids who vengefully sink boats. It's not a good look on my transcript."

JJ: "Enough with the regret, bro!" -he interrupted, stepping in front of, Pope.

I only stared at the two of them, almost trying to calm my fear down.

JJ: "They caved your face in. Also literally made YOU look at everything, you not being able to do anything." -he snapped, pointing towards the both of us.

I looked at the ground, slightly feeling guilty over what happened. JJ, was right, I couldn't do anything to defend Pope, and that sucked. It made me feel weak, made me feel even worse about everything.

JJ: "They hit us, we hit them. It's the law of the jungle."

June: "Well, this isn't the fucking jungle, JJ. What happens if we are about to get arrested? What are we supposed to even say?" -I asked, making JJ, grab both of my shoulders.

JJ: "If any Kooks or cops come up to you or Pope, and ask if you had anything to do with it."

JJ: "You walk up to them, look e'm right in the eye, and?"

Pope: "Deny the living shit out of it." -he replied, finishing the blond boy's sentence.

JJ: "That's right. Deny, deny, deny."

June: "What if they don't believe us?" -I asked, stepping closer to the pair.

JJ: "Then, just for safety, we don't go anywhere without protection."

He replied, pointing down towards his gun that sat on top of a cut log. Automatically my eyes widening after I saw the object, seeing how genuine JJ's response was.

JJ: "Right?" -he asked, receiving a nod of approval from, Pope.

June: "No."

JJ: "Okay, than what the hell are we supposed to do? Go out to the streets and not be safe? No, because trust me, Kooks won't take a "I didn't do it" for shit. At all, June, I'm being deadass."

June: "Look, this is just scary okay? I'm scared for you two, obviously for me too but mostly for y'all."

June: "Is this our way on, how to run from the mess you made?" -I asked, making JJ, scoff.

JJ: "Are you seriously blaming me for this?"

June: "You were the one with the idea, JJ."

We both kept arguing, all of sudden beginning to push each other. Pope, constantly shouting at us to try and stop the fight.

Pope: "Guys, stop! This is not worth it!"

JJ: "I was trying to help him out!" -he exclaimed, pushing me back.

I fell down on the ground, hitting my head with a near by table. I only heard JJ and Pope, cursing at each other as they realized what the blond one had done.

Pope: "JJ! What the hell?!"

JJ: "Shit, June, I'm sorry." -he mumbled, helping me stand up with the help of, Pope.

As he stood me up, he placed his hands on my shoulders once again trying to take a look at my face. I tried to stared at him seriously, only to fail miserably as I began to laugh over how concerned his face expression was.

Pope: "Oh shit, I think you gave her a concussion." -he whispered, as I laughed over the two boys.

JJ: "Wha- what? Is that a real thing?"

Pope: "Of course is a real thing, dumbass!" -he replied, grabbing my arm to place it around his shoulders.

June: "I'm okay, Pope. Y'all just looked really freaking stupid."

They two glared at me with darting eyes, as I continued laughing in front of the pair.

JJ: "Okay, she's totally insane, dude. That's not funny June, I thought I killed you." -he ranted, slightly pushing me back.

June: "You are so dramatic, JJ. Come on, let's get going."

JJ: "Go where?"

June: "To watch a movie." -I replied, making the two other boys look at each other confused.

JJ: "A movie? Now?"

June: "Yup! Now." - I asserted, pulling the two boys wrist as JJ, grabbed his gun quickly.

He looked at me with pleading eyes, he noticed I was already staring at him annoyed by him grabbing the weapon.

Pope: "Just in case, June. Don't worry about it." -he reassured, placing his hand on my shoulder.

JJ: "Exactly, just in case for an emergency."

I then began to walk, followed by the two other boys to head over to Pope's truck again.

We all headed inside, beginning to head out of the blond boy's home. Making our way over to Figure Eight, for the movie event.
________________________________
THE MOVIE EVENT, ONE OF THE ISLAND'S BIGGEST PARTY. I remember the first time I went to one, I was invited by Sarah, when we were really little. The Cameron's played a very important part for the event, due to how much money they donated for the activity. I was so grateful for the invite since it was my first time getting to meet new people, all thanks to Sarah, and her family.

Now, I just feel so distant from all of them. Things have changed obviously, we aren't kids anymore. I haven't been on the island for months, it almost feels like it's been years to be honest. But I try to think that things would end up working out soon, maybe not now but really soon.

JJ: "Hey, what you thinking?" -he asked, startling me as I looked over to the distance.

I was currently sitting near by the tv screen, besides many of the kooks around the area. This is one of the only events that allows Pogues and Kooks, on the same place. Which sort of gives me major anxiety, you receive many death stares or hear the disgusted whispers that come from the Kooks.

June: "Nothing, just waiting for y'all to arrive with those." -I replied, pointing at the chairs they had brought with the help of, Kie.

Kie: "June, you came! I'm so glad you did."

The girl gave me a quick side hug, placing her chair right beside mine. I then noticed how JJ and Pope, began to whisper to each other beginning to look around the area suspiciously.

Kie: "Hey, June."

June: "Yeah?" -I replied, suddenly getting grabbed by her from my wrist.

She began to pull me over to the drinks booth, quickly arriving.

June: "You couldn't just ask me?" -I asked, my laughter coming out in between my sentence.

Kie: "Nah, it's better to add some suspense. Hey, uh...can I get two Pepsis, please?"

She replied, later on focusing on ordering the drinks for, JJ and Pope. I started to look around the area quickly noticing Rafe, approaching our way. My eyes widened quickly, as he spotted me instantly.

June: "Shit." -I mumbled, beginning to look the opposite way to try and avoid the boy.

Kie: "What?"

June: "Nothing, it's ju-"

Rafe: "Hey, Kie."

I closed my eyes shut after hearing the boy's voice interrupting me, quickly feeling his presence right beside me.

Rafe: "Hi to you too, June." -he said, smiling at me as I glared at him.

He passed by me getting close to Kie, noticing already the girl's annoyed expression.

Rafe: "Hey, what's up? How are you?" -he asked, looking down at the girl who only exchanged awkward glances with me.

Kie: "I'm fine."

I stared over to the distance trying to get the boys to notice me, but failed as they only payed attention to the big screen in front of them.

Rafe: "Good, good. Um...tell your boy that we know what he did." -He mentioned, automatically making me sigh already feeling frightened.

They stayed silent for a couple of seconds, pretty sure due to Kie, not understanding what he meant.

Kie: "Sorry, what boy are you talking about?" -she asked, looking at me confused.

I only shook my head side to side, almost fearing for everyone at that point. Rafe, was beginning to be the one person I hated the most, he's at the top of my list literally.

Rafe: "Uh, he'll know." -he replied, nodding in between sentence as he looked back to glance at me.

Kie, motioned me to come with her quickly. Not even a second after, being followed by me as I glared back at, Rafe.

Rafe: "Bye."

Kie: "Douche." -she replied, walking away from the blond boy.

We both walked over to the sits once again, Kie, still looking at me with a confused expression. But before I was about to take a seat, she grabbed my wrist avoiding me to sit back down.

Kie: "Do you know what he's talking about?" -she asked, making me quickly shake my head side to side.

Kie: "Okay, you're possibly the worst liar I've ever met."

June: "I'm not lying! I don't know what he or you are talking about." -I replied, sitting back down on the chair to look at JJ, who was as confused Kie, looked.

Kie: "Alright, just saw, Rafe. And he said, and I quote. "Tell your boy that we know what he did."

Kie: "What is that?" -she asked, passing the drinks to the two boys who's expression quickly changed to a frightened one.

JJ: "Um...where is he?"

June: "Look behind you and you'll see the shadow." -I responded, making both boys quickly look back.

We all made eye contact with Rafe, and his two other followers. Seriously, they look like they could be the freaking power puff girls.

Pope: "Great, the whole death squad. Ah!" -he mentioned, quickly getting hit by JJ, who tried to stop him from looking at the trio.

JJ: "Don't stare, bro."

June: "What are you guys going to do?" -I asked, seeing Kie's confused expression once again.

Kie: "So you do know something?"

June: "Shh, hold on." -I replied, hitting JJ, so he could respond to my question.

JJ: "Ow! Okay, just warning you, bro. If they corner me, I'm coming out swinging, okay?"

June: "Are you being deadass right now?"

JJ: "Slice and dicin'. I'm on edge right now, June." -he replied, looking over to Pope, who agreed to his "plan."

June: "You've gotta be kidding me."

JJ: "If that doesn't work, I got this right here." -he mentioned, showing me and Pope, his backpack.

The two of us instantly knowing what he meant, including Kie, who's eyes widened after realizing.

Pope: "Yeah, yeah. So, we just gotta stay in the group. They can't get us in the group."

JJ: "Like a school of fish." -he replied, making me frown my eyebrows instantly.

June: "Or maybe, we could just freaking try and talk things out like a normal fucking person." -I whispered, hitting both of the back of their necks.

Pope: "June, stay in the school. Can't leave the school. Got it?"

Kie: "I'm sorry, JJ. Please tell me that you did not bring a gun here. JJ, there are kids."

JJ: "No! Kie, I didn't bring the gun. Everything's fine, okay?" -he lied, making me sigh as I stared over to Rafe's direction.

He was still looking over to us, his glance darkened by how mad he was looking. I was beginning to question if I should be the one to try and make the situation different, try to talk things out but obviously the two other boys won't allow me to.

Kie: "Wow, thank you. That's really convincing. I love that, JJ." -she replied, her tone coming out sarcastically as she gave him a dirty look.

The sound of the movie announcement echoed through the spot, all of us still arguing among each other. But my attention was still plastered onto the trio behind us, I was scared for everyone.

Kie: "Founding principle, you guys. No secrets amongst Pogues. What is Rafe, talking about?" -she asked, putting her hand on my shoulder to make me look at her.

June: "Guys, she's right tell her the truth. Or else, I'll do it myself."

They both looked at each other, later on sighing defeated by us.

Pope: "Kie, it might go down tonight." -he replied, whispering near the girl's ear.

Kie: "What does that mean?"

June: "Exactly, explain the right way, Pope. This is serious, very freaking serious."

Kie: "Might go down tonight." What did y'all do?" -she asked, desperation coming out with her sentence.

We all glanced over to JJ, who mumbled something to, Pope. Both of us not being able to understand what he said, by the distance between each of other.

I only rolled my eyes, standing up from my chair beginning to walk away from the group.

JJ: "Where are you going? Didn't you get the part of staying in group?"

June: "Going to the bathroom, which is a woman's bathroom. Meaning, you can't enter, besides I'll be fine." -I replied, continuing my way over to the small building were the bathrooms were located at.

As I arrived over to the spot, I opened the small door to notice a couple of girls in front of the mirror. Each of them were retouching their makeup, one of them being Kayla, who was quick to notice me entering.

Kayla: "June, hey!" -she said, approaching my way quickly.

June: "Hey, Kayla."

I replied, waving awkwardly at the girl who stood in front of me. She noticed quickly how awkward I was acting, her smile instantly dropping.

Kayla: "Hey girls? Could you leave me alone with my friend really quick?" -she asked, the group of friends walking off automatically.

I sighed, walking over to the sink to splash my face with some of the water. The footsteps of the girl approaching my way, hearing how she sat on top of the sink beside me.

Kayla: "You're still mad at me, right?"

June: "I'm not mad, Kayla. I'm just, not in the mood to talk about my feelings for some guy." -I replied, looking at the girl who's eyes were already teary.

Kayla: "June, I'm deeply sorry for what I did. I never meant to do what I did, I was just trying to have fun."

June: "You knew I liked him, Kayla. I know you aren't stupid, this whole time you invited me to that party to just leave me alone."

June: "Later on hurting my feelings, possibly ruining what I thought was my chance for something I've dreamed of my whole life almost." -I explained, making her scoff annoyed.

Kayla: "You liked him when we were like ten! June, later on left the island to come back for I don't even know what. Did you expect me to believe that you still had feelings for, Rafe?"

June: "Yes! Because I sent you letters, practically all the time when I was with my Mom, asking you about everyone. Especially Rafe, talking about my feelings. Did you ever read those letters?!"

We suddenly heard the door open, noticing Rafe, entering the bathroom.

June: "This is the girls bathroom, Rafe." -I mentioned, sighing annoyed by his presence.

Rafe: "I know, I'm just making sure that you were okay. I thought I heard screams coming from here, is everything okay?"

June: "Everything's fine, just leave us alone please."

Kayla: "You know you act so innocent, like you're the victim, June!" -she shouted, instantly making me step back from her.

Tears began to fill my eyes as I heard what she mentioned, I could see the regret on her face after finishing her sentence.

Rafe, just stared around awkwardly. As we both looked at each other in complete silence, I stepped closer to her wiping my tears away.

June: "Say that again."

Kayla: "No, June. Listen to me, okay?! I'm sorry."

June: "No! Shut the fuck up and say that again." -I exclaimed, pointing my finger at her making her push it away.

Kayla: "Stop! Okay? I'm gonna be honest with you, I think you don't deserve, Rafe. There, I said it."

Rafe: "Wait, what?"

June/Kayla: "Shut up!" -we both shouted, making him lift his hands up in surrender.

I looked back at the brunette girl, seeing the honest look on her face this time. She meant every word she said, and that hurt way more than I expected.

June: "Why do you think that? Because you like him too or what?"

Kayla: "No, because you're a pogue. That pair doesn't match with each other, it will never match." -she replied, making me scoff as I looked around the bathroom.

I pushed past the girl, feeling a pair of hands try to grab my wrist but I quickly pushed them away. This is where that one quote my Dad, used to say comes in handy, "rich kids don't have hearts."

They are just rich people, with nothing but fake friends and fake lives, and I'll say that again. What is the purpose of our friendship to her? Was I ever important to her? Did our friendship meant nothing?

I walked over to JJ, Pope and Kiara, who were quick to notice the tears on my face.

Kie: "Wow, June. What happened? Are you okay?" -she whispered, trying to not be too loud since the movie was already playing.

June: "It's nothing, let's just watch the movie."

JJ: "What do you mean is nothing? You were literally crying? Was it Rafe, again? Want me to punch or shoot him?" -he asked, grabbing my shoulder as he glanced over to the bathroom.

June: "I said it's nothing, JJ. I'm okay, I just got cramps that's all."

Kie, only rubbed my shoulder gently, looking over to JJ, who nodded after what I mentioned.
________________________________
A while later, we all kept seeing the movie. The sun had officially fallen down, the only light produced being the tv screen's and the moonlight. We had bought a couple of popcorn and more drinks for us, paying attention to the movie. But somehow I could still feel as I was being watched, it was beginning to get too annoying to handle.

I looked back, glancing around the space trying to see if I could find whoever was staring at me. Even though I knew who it was, cause it's the only obvious option. I then spotted Rafe, this one who had his arms around Kayla's chest.

Pope: "JJ? June?" -the boy called, making me pay attention to him.

JJ: "What?"

Pope: "Gotta take a piss." -he replied, instantly receiving a "no" from the both of us.

June: "Are you insane?"

JJ: "Yeah she's right, hold it." -he whispered, making Pope, sigh as he shook his head side to side.

Pope: "I can't hold it. I drank too much soda."

June: "What do we do? This could go really wrong guys."

JJ: "It's too exposed. They'll totally see us." -he speculated, looking behind him to see if the group was staring.

Pope: "I gotta go."

Pope, also looked towards the group's direction, quickly looking back at, JJ.

Pope: "They're blocking the bathrooms. -he mentioned, looking at me with widened eyes.

June: "Then we'll go somewhere else, quickly."

The blond one looked around, searching for a spot for the boy. Grabbing his backpack to handle it to me.

JJ: "Come here, I know where." -he whispered, making me frown my eyebrows.

June: "I'm supposed to go?"

JJ: "Yes, you can look the other way and keep watch. I need you to hold my backpack, I also gotta take a pisser." -he replied, as we started to walk away.

Kie: "Hey, where y'all going?"

We all turned around facing Kie's way, the girl staring at us confused.

JJ: "We gotta wring it out." -he replied, making me cringe disgusted by the boy's response.

Kie: "With, June? What, you gonna hold it for each other?"

June: "Ew, please don't say that."

Kie: "That's what is looking like, I'm sorry."

I heard the girl say, as the three of us walked away to head over to the back of where the tv screen was located at.

We arrived behind the big tree, only for me to stand there awkwardly as they unbuttoned their pants. I held onto the backpack, not knowing what to do.

JJ: "Turn around, pervert." -he whispered, making me nod quickly as I spun around to look at the distance.

The sound of urine and sighing made me want to vomit badly, all I could do was just listen to everyone awkwardly and pretend like it was the most normal thing ever.

Pope: "This feels better than a blowjob." -he mentioned, making me gag.

JJ: "Like you know how that feels."

Pope: "This feels better than what I imagine a blowjob would feel like."

June: "Can you guys pee silently?! I think you're forgetting there's a literal girl behind y'all." -I whispered, turning around to look at the boys backs.

JJ, then zipped his pants up to turn around. Facing my way as I death stared at him, he only smiled awkwardly at me.

June: "Pope, hurry up." -I demanded, looking at the boy.

He then began to also zip his pants up, arguing with JJ, about something I didn't even wanted to pay attention to at the moment.

We began to walk back only to stumble across Rafe, who approached towards us.

Rafe: "What's up, Pogues." -he said, making me look at Pope, instantly fearing for our lives.

JJ: "What's up, Rafe."

The three of us began to back up, trying to head out through the other side.

Rafe: "How you guy's doin' tonight?" -he asked, a smile appearing on his face as he followed closely.

June: "Rafe, stop."

Rafe: "Stop what? I'm not doing anything."

JJ: "Isn't it past your bedtime?" -the blond said, while Pope and I ran towards the other side.

This time stumbling across Topper and Kelce, who also smiled as they noticed us. Pope, almost lost his balance but I quickly helped him up, almost dropping the backpack with the gun.

Topper: "Hey, hey."

Pope: "Just chill out, Topper." -he said, backing away from the boy.

Topper: "Yeah, that was some nice work you did on my boat."

Pope: "I don't know what you mean." -he responded, as I looked at JJ, with widened eyes.

Topper: "Oh sure, oh yeah."

We all stared at each other, my head trying to come up with a plan quickly before things could go downhill.

Rafe: "Not so burly without a gun now, are you?"

I opened the bag JJ, had given me to try and find the object. Later on realized he had given me mine instead of his.

June: "Dumbass." -I mumbled to myself, looking over to JJ's direction.

JJ: "Take one more step, I'll rip that prepubescent face off."

I stepped closer to JJ, trying to calm him down before he would try and get violent first since Rafe, started to get closer to him.

Topper: "Do you feel good, stealing shit?"

June: "He didn't stole shit from you, Topper."

Topper: "Shut the fuck up, Pogue." -he snapped, pointing his finger at me.

JJ, instantly tried to punch Topper, but I pushed him back to stop him from doing so.

June: "JJ, stop!" -I shouted, placing my hand on his chest.

JJ: "Don't talk to her like that, Kook!"

June: "Stop." -I demanded, staring directly at him.

Topper: "I mean, is your mom proud of you? Is you da-"

I gasped after seeing Pope, head bump the blond boy. All of the boys beginning to shout at each other, as I stepped back.

JJ: "Now, attaboy!"

Rafe: "Whoo!"

June: "Shit! JJ, do something!" -I shouted, walking towards Topper and Pope, to try and stop them.

I failed miserably since Rafe, grabbed and pushed me aside. Making me fall onto the floor, I grunted as my head hit the ground. My vision getting blurry, the muffled shouting being the only thing I could hear. I looked around the area, weakly crawling aside noticing how we were loosing. Topper, was currently beating Pope, up. Kelce held onto JJ as Rafe, punched him continuously.

I kept grunting in pain, feeling horrible. I didn't know what I hit my head against with, but all I knew is that it hurt it like a bitch. Suddenly Kie, came running towards Topper and Pope, hitting the blond one with JJ's bag.

Kie: "Let go of him, Topper! Fascist asshole!" -she shouted, hitting him with the backpack but suddenly getting pushed by the boy.

They all kept arguing as I looked around, Kie, had jumped on top of Topper's back. She then was grabbed by Rafe, later on being thrown aside falling right beside me.

Rafe: "Stay out of this, Kiara!" -he exclaimed, running towards JJ, once again.

Pope: "Girls! You okay?"

I looked towards Kie, who's eyes were widened as she stared at me filled with concerned. She crawled towards me, handling me a bandana so I could place it behind my head.

Topper: "Come on, man. Just admit it! Admit you did it, bitch!"

Pope: "Ow!"

Kie, began to crawl over to JJ's backpack in search for the gun I supposed. She grabbed the gun, but later on dropped it and searched for something else instead.

June: "Kie, what are you doing?" -I mumbled, not getting any responses from her since she couldn't hear me.

My tone came out very weak, nobody could hear me. I realized she had found a lighter, quickly making her way towards the tv screen to try and light it on fire. None of the boys seemed to notice what the curly head was doing, so she took that as an advantage and began to flick the lighter. Soon after, the tv screen began to burn. A large fire already forming quickly on the screen, everyone behind it screaming after noticing it.

Rafe, turned around probably noticing the distant shouting and later on seeing the fire spreading across.

Rafe: "Guys! Fire!"

Kie: "Get off of him!" -she shouted, approaching Pope, who was pushed towards me.

The boy coughed and wheezed loudly, as he tried his best to catch his breath after loosing half of his.

Kie: "Kelce, let go of, JJ!" -she demanded, making the boy throw JJ, aside as he also gasped loudly for air.

Rafe: "Let's get outta here."

They started to walk away but Rafe stopped Topper, mid way.

Rafe: "Holy shit, you almost killed him, man!" -he said in between laughter, tapping the boy's back.

Soon after he noticed me laying on the ground, looking up at him. His smile dropping after seeing the blood on my hands, I lifted my hand up slowly raising my middle finger towards him.

Rafe: "Hey, let's go, Kelce!" -he demanded, running off with the the two other boys.

Kie helped Pope, up making sure that he was okay, suddenly I felt a pair of hands grabbing my shoulders. Instantly making me turn my head towards the front, to see JJ, who's face screamed fear.

JJ: "Hey, guys?! She's bleeding!" -he shouted, grabbing me in a bridal style way.

The pair approached quickly our way, Pope, taking a hold of my head to see how deep the wound was. Kie, only watched everything happen as she held my hand.

Kie: "Pope, what do you see?"

Pope: "It's not that deep but she's still kinda bleeding a lot, let's go to John B's now." -he replied, all of us quickly making our way towards Pope's truck.

After JJ, placed me down my vision began to get much blurrier than before. Everything getting dark in a matter of seconds, it felt like I died but obviously I didn't.

Conclusion of the day, don't trust who you thought was your friends. Don't fall in love with a rich person, they will just break your heart. In shorter words, don't trust the Kooks.
