"𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞,
𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞?"

[POV: June]

FEAR AND ANGER HADN'T LEFT MY BODY AT ALL, I couldn't stop thinking about John B and Bailey, throughout the past days. Now I can't help but wonder if Sarah, was able to find the pair. I can't help but fear for everyone's lives now.

Shit has gone downhill really fast, how is it possible that a treasure hunt ended this way? It seems like a total movie.

JJ: "Hey, you didn't slept the whole night."

I turned around to see the blond boy, approach my way slowly. His footsteps being taken carefully since Kie and Pope, were asleep nearby.

June: "I'm just overthinking a lot of stuff, and I feel nauseous." -I replied, almost not being able to speak over how hoarse my voice was.

JJ: "You need some medication? I could ask Kie, to bring you some."

June: "No it's okay, I'll be fine. I think it's just the nerves that have me this way, I'll get better soon."

I reassured, quickly crossing my shoulders as a very strong breeze entered the small building.

June: "Do you think they'll be able to make it out of this one?" -I asked, turning to face the boy, who stood right beside me.

He hesitated for a couple of seconds to give a response, but then quickly nodded in agreement. I tilted my head slightly, feeling dissatisfied with his answer since I knew clearly he was lying.

June: "Be honest with me, JJ."

The boy sighed completely defeated, looking outside with worry covering his gaze. He wasn't sure whether to say what was on his mind, but my glance seemed to give him reassurance.

JJ: "He's pinched for sure, man." -he replied, only continuing to look out the window.

Pope then stepped right beside me, looking over to JJ, filled with surprise over his words.

Pope: "No. They wouldn't still be patrolling if they caught him." -he mentioned, placing his hand on my shoulder as he noticed my worried expression.

JJ: "Let's hope."

June: "What even is the plan now though? We get the boat, but after that...do we leave with them?" -I asked, seeing how Kie, was already waking up as well.

Pope: "We can't leave, that would make us fugitives as well. Maybe making the case even worse, who knows."

Kie: "You know, we were in that car. They're probably looking for us, too."

We all stood quiet after the girl's sentence, beginning to come up with something new to say but nothing popped up on our heads. The ambiance felt tense, almost as if the group had argued before I arrived.

Yesterday I arrived pretty late at night over the amount of search I did, I figured last minute that they could've been at The Wreck, the whole time and...they were.

Pope: "Well, if we're gonna be outlaws, we might as well help, John B and Bailey."

JJ: "So, find them before they do?" -he questioned, watching how Pope, took a hold of the motorcycle's keys.

June: "What are you gonna do?"

JJ: "Pope?" -he mumbled, realizing how Pope, completely ignored us.

Pope: "I'm gonna get gas for the boat."

He then walked over to the front door, stopping his tracks to say one last thing but was quickly interrupted.

Kie: "Hey, you be careful. Okay?"

The both made eye contact for a split second, only for Pope, to turn around looking completely annoyed. This making me question even more then before.

Pope: "Meet me at the dock at three. Don't be late."

He then walked off, leaving us completely confused by his attitude. The only ones that seemed to understood was JJ and Kie, making me feel completely left out.

June: "What's going on, guys?"

Kie: "I'll be right back." -she mentioned, running out quickly.

As she ran off, JJ and I stood completely still inside the closed restaurant. Only for us to hear what sounded like shouting coming from outside, the both of us quickly ran out instantly.

Kie: "Look, I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings." -she apologized, rolling her eyes as Pope, made the engine of the motorcycle roar.

Pope: "What was that?"

June: "What's up with them?" -I asked, stepping near JJ, who looked at the pair completely annoyed.

JJ: "It's kinda a long story, that I don't fully know."

June: "Of course it is." -I mumbled, looking back at Kie and Pope, who only continued to argue.

Kie: "Pope, I'm being serious. I'm trying to talk to you!"

Pope, drove off rapidly, leaving the girl standing in the middle of the pathway completely saddened. She walked back to the restaurant, only stopping her tracks after hearing what sounded like helicopter blades whirring.

JJ: "Who the hell is that?"

June: "Shit."

[POV: Bailey]

Bailey: "John B, wake up."

I whispered, shuffling the boy, side to side to try and wake him up quicker. I couldn't believe another day had passed and we were still stuck practically reliving the same nightmare, running and hiding once again.

He was sound asleep and I was wide awake over how terrified I felt, there was no sign of Sarah, nearby. Except for a note she had left me on the small closet I tried to sleep in.

Bailey: "John B."

John B: "Mhm?" -he mumbled, beginning to rub his eyes slowly.

Bailey: "You need to wake up, Sarah, left somewhere."

He quickly opened his eyes after hearing my sentence, sitting up filled with shock as he stared at me.

John B: "Where did she go?"

Bailey: "I don't know, she only left me this note." -I replied, passing him the small sticky paper.

The paper only had written "I'll be right back, I'm gonna try to make things right."

Bailey: "I think she left one for you too." -I mentioned, making him look around the space, eventually finding a note as well.

John B: "It says technically the same thing, I think she might've gone to talk to the police, Bailey."

Bailey: "That's too risky for her though, what was she thinking?" -I asked, seeing how he only shrugged his shoulders, standing from the space to head out of the closet.

He walked off completely, stopping right in front of me to see the blood on my knees still. His eyes only got teary, making me glance down completely saddened as well.

John B: "Today we have to make sure to meet up with our friends, they'll help us." -he said, wiping some dirt away from his shirt.

Bailey: "Our friends?"

John B: "Yeah, our." -he repeated, making me smile slightly by his comment.

Bailey: "I don't think they like me very much."

John B: "Shut up, they do...trust me. They wouldn't be helping you as well if they didn't like you, they are good people."

Bailey: "Well, I'm glad I have you guys. You got yourself some good ass friends, they're all doing so much just for you." -I whispered, seeing how he smiled instantly by my comment.

John B: "Yeah...those are my siblings."

We both laughed after he finished, looking over to the room near us as we heard what sounded like sirens. We quickly walked over to the room, approaching a window that was opened widely.

John B: "Shit, get down." -he whispered, pulling me to the ground after seeing something through the window.

Bailey: "What is it?"

John B: "Marine cops. Is that how they're even called?" -he asked, flipping his hair back rapidly.

Bailey: "Don't ask me, I don't know shit about cops."

We both slowly stood up once again, looking out the window to see the boat already being gone. My gaze quickly darted over to John B, noticing instantly the panic in his eyes.

Bailey: "What's on your mind?"

John B: "I'm worried about Sarah, she doesn't even know what she's doing." -he replied, sitting down on the ground completely frustrated.

Bailey: "Hey, she'll be fine. That girl is a real fighter, I can see it on her. She'll be back before you know it, maybe she'll even find a way to help us."

He only nodded slowly, taking deep breaths to try and calm himself down. I placed my hand on his shoulder, making sure to breathe as well.

John B: "I just keep wondering what could people be thinking of me right now? Like, the people that know me well...could they believe the lies?"

Bailey: "My brother must be having a field day, he's probably celebrating me being a fugitive before him."

John B: "Wasn't he a fugitive already?" -he asked, glancing over to me with frowned eyebrows.

Bailey: "Technically yes and technically no, it's hard to explain."

John B: "All of my friends parents must be wishing to say "I told you so" to all of them. Especially Kie's parents probably, they're the strictest of them all."

Bailey: "I think the only person who might not believe the rumors might be that girl, who almost got us out of Kelce's laundry room."

I stated, hearing a small giggle coming from, John B. He then looked at me as he nodded, making me shrug my shoulders.

John B: "That girl's name is Kayla Thornton, she's June's best friend. Well, I don't actually know if they're friends still."

Bailey: "She seemed to be completely done with Topper's bullshit, that son of bitch is literally the worst."

John B: "Yeah, he is. He almost drowned me, dude." -he mentioned, making my eyes widened completely.

Bailey: "What?!"

John B: "Yeah, he went completely psycho. It was being spoke about throughout the entire island almost."

Bailey: "Wow, so you were already famous before all of this?" -I joked, making him nod with a proud expression.

John B: "Yeah, I guess I'm a lucky fella."

Bailey: "Totally." -I replied, hearing him laughing as he stood up.

I glanced up quickly, seeing how he stretched his hand my way.

John B: "Thanks for making me feel better, even if it was just at the worst time of my life." -he grinned, making me take his hand gently.

Bailey: "No problem, I'm always the best at comforting people."

John B: "I see, you're a whole professional."
________________________________

A while later after talking with John B, at what felt like hours; We heard more sirens getting near the house. We were quick to stand up from the ground, running over to another window. We then saw more cop vehicles, this driving really fast in front of the street that lead to the home we were at.

My heart sunk deep after hearing the house's door open, making me look at John B, rapidly completely terrified.

We ran over to the ledge of the stairs, looking to the first floor as we kept hearing footsteps approaching the stairs slowly. John B's shaky breathing could be heard throughout the home, making me place my hand on his shoulder to try and calm him down.

Finally we were able to see who was inside the home, allowing us to sigh completely relieved by the sight. The blonde girl, walked upstairs slowly, making the both of us reach over to her.

John B: "Sarah. Hey, where...where have you been?"

He then quickly noticed how bad of a state she was in, she was in complete shock and looked pale. John B, took a hold of her hands, pulling her into a hug as I held onto her waist.

John B: "It's okay, it's okay. I got you, it's okay." -he reassured, placing his hand on the back of her head as she sobbed loudly.

Sarah: "It's getting really bad out there."

Bailey: "Shit, what happened?" -I whispered, quickly getting embraced by the girl, as she continued to cry.

But before I could hug her back, a siren whooping gained our attention over how close it sounded. We all gasped out loud, running towards the wall beside the window.

John B: "Shit."

We all peeked through the window, seeing the police vehicles parked right in front of the home. Already officers approaching the front door, carefully.

Sarah: "Shit!" -she exclaimed, pulling us down in complete fear.

Bailey: "What do we do?"

John B: "We gotta go, okay?" -he whispered, rubbing Sarah's cheek gently.

Sarah: "Okay."

The three of us quickly ran downstairs, heading outside through the back door of the home. We looked around the area to see if there was anyone around, and to our luck no one was out yet.

I ran towards the nearby dock, followed by the pair who only kept looking back to see if someone was following. I then noticed pairs of  surfboards laying on the dock, allowing me to take them quickly.

Bailey: Here, take one quickly, guys." -I whispered, passing the surfboard to Sarah which she gave it to, John B.

She then grabbed another one, eventually leading us to jump into the water rapidly. We laid on the surfboards carefully, trying to swim away as fast as possible without being caught.

We continued to swim for quite a while, eventually reaching an area not too far from John B's home. Only stopping due to John B, who stood completely still.

John B: "You girls okay?" -he asked, looking back to the both of us.

Sarah: "Yeah, I'm fine."

Bailey: "Same, just exhausted." -I replied, raising my hair up in a bun.

We took a couple of breaths, looking around the area completely tired over the amount of movement we made with just our arms.

Sarah: "Do you really think they'll be able to steal the boat?" -she asked, looking a John B, with no hope at all.

John B: "Well, JJ's involved, so...yeah." -he chuckled, making me look over to, Sarah.

Bailey: "They're smart, and they also have Pope and June, who are probably the smartest out of all of them." -I mentioned, receiving a nod from Sarah, who still seemed unsure.

Another pair of sirens made us all glance around the sea, only to begin to move once again.

Sarah: "John B, where are you going? The boat ramp's this way."

The boy, stopped his tracks once again, making us swim over to him.

John B: "Look, Sarah, I've gotta go home."

Sarah: "What? No. There'll be cops crawling all over there."

Bailey: "Exactly, John B. What are you even thinking?" -I asked, sitting down on the surfboard more comfortably.

John B: "Yeah, and that's okay. Look, I...I don't want y'all to come. Look it-"

Sarah: "What do you mean?" -she interjected, looking over to me completely annoyed with, John B.

John B: "The gold from Crain's house. It's at the Château. My dad's been looking for that for years, it's all I've got left of him. I gotta get it...and we're gonna need the money."

Sarah: "You'll get caught." -she stated, making me nod, agreeing instantly with her."

John B: "Okay, then I get caught."

Bailey: "John B, you're not thinking straight right now."

Sarah: "No, and then all of this is for nothing!" -she exclaimed, almost beginning to cry in between her sentence.

John B: "No, it's not. Just listen to me, please."

He then sat up on his surfboard as well, taking a hold of the girl's hand.

John B: "I need you to go to the boat dock in an hour."

Sarah: "No, we're coming with you."

John B: "No you're not." -he demanded, shaking his head side to side.

Sarah: "Yes we are!"

Bailey: "John B, please let us go."-I pleaded, only seeing how the boy, closed his eyes shut completely annoyed.

John B: "Girls, you're not coming with me! It's too dangerous. Go to the boat dock, I'll see you in an hour."

John B: "If we don't have money, we can't go anywhere."

Sarah: "Fine, but at least take Bailey, with you. I don't trust leaving you alone, please." -she begged, making John B, glance at me for a couple of seconds.

He seemed to be looking for my approval, so I nodded allowing him to sigh.

John B: "Okay, she can come. Hurry up, we're loosing time." -he hurried, swimming away rapidly.

I grabbed Sarah's hand tightly, smiling at her reassuringly.

Sarah: "Please, watch over him." -she whispered, receiving a nod from me.

I then swam off, following the brunette one, close behind as fast as I could.

[POV: June]

We all tried to hurry up and take all the food we could get for John B, Bailey and Sarah. Hoping that we wouldn't be caught at all, due to all the food we were stealing from Kie's parents restaurant.

JJ: "You sure he wasn't just being weird, Pope? -he asked, after trying to figure what was wrong with the pair.

June: "Yeah, he's sometimes kinda...random."

Kie: "It wasn't really the kind of thing that needed interpretation. Is that gonna be enough food for them?" -she asked, trying to change the topic.

I glanced over to JJ's bag for John B, noticing all of the food packed inside. My eyebrows frowned by the girl's question, making me look at, Kie.

June: "Is that...not enough for you?" -I questioned, seeing how she shrugged her shoulders.

JJ: "I mean, for a couple of weeks and that's all they need, so."

Kie: "Look, I think I actually hurt his feelings." -she mentioned, beginning to walk away with her box of food.

We both followed the girl close behind, grabbing the boxes as well.

JJ: "Look, don't beat yourself up too much. He's completely changed his feels. The past 24 hours have been like Jekyll and Hyde." -he reassured, following me and Kie, outside the restaurant.

June: "Weird but good comparison, to be honest."

JJ: "Right?" -he smiled, quickly looking at Kie, with a proud expression.

Kie: "I hate to admit it, but I miss the old, Pope. At least I knew what to expect from him."

I dropped my box inside the trunk, followed by JJ, who suddenly jumped startled after hearing Kie's mom speaking to, the curly head.

Anna: "Where you been?" -she questioned, making Kie, instantly stutter.

Kie: "Uh...I'm fine. I slept here."

Anna: "Well, we were up half the night, scared to death, looking for you. Where you even gonna tell us?!"

Kie: "Well, I'm telling you right now." -she answered, looking back to me and JJ, who tried to not seem nervous by the woman's presence.

Anna: "All right, what the hell are you three up to?"

JJ: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Anna, we just gotta go." - he replied, making me cover my face over how embarrassed I felt.

Kie: "Sorry."

Anna: "No. I'm sorry, absolutely not. Have you heard what's going on?"

Kie: "Mom, I'll explain later." -she reassured, quickly signaling us to get inside the car.

We quickly did what she said, continuing to hear the shouting from the pair.

June: "Jeez, she's a very strict one, right?"

JJ: "Yup, never liked me...never liked her." -he replied, making me hold in my laugh.

We looked outside after hearing Kie's door opening, seeing the girl, entering the car slowly as she continued to apologize to her mom.

Kie: "I'm sorry, Mom. I have to go!"

Anna: "These cops are armed, Kiara. You'll get shot."

Kie: "I have to go!" -she shouted, turning the car's engine on.

I noticed how JJ, laid his head down, seeming completely frightened by the argument. I placed my hand on his shoulder gently, trying to comfort him as best as I could even though the argument kept getting worser by the second.

Anna: "I'm not letting you do this!"

Kie: "Mom, John B, needs me!"

Anna: "Kiara, you need to stay right here." -she demanded, trying to maintain the door open.

Kie: "I understand, I'll be careful! Sorry!"

She quickly pulled the door, closing it harshly. The curly head woman, placed her hands on the car's window, trying her best to stop Kiara, from driving away.

Anna: "Kiara! Open this door right now!"

Kie: "I'm sorry!" -she cried out, quickly driving away without thinking it through.

We kept quiet throughout the whole drive to JJ's house, trying not to invade Kiara's space, since we knew she didn't wanted to talk about what had happened.

As we arrived at his home, I could tell how JJ's mood changed completely. Only making the ambiance feel way more different then before, he glance over to his hands slightly smiling.

JJ: "Home sweet home."

Kie: "Do you want us to come? Cause we'll come." -she asked, looking back at me for approval.

June: "Yeah, we can help you search quicker."

JJ: "No. This will only take a second." -he replied, heading out of the vehicle quickly.

He slowed his steps down, looking back towards us. Receiving a reassuring smile from me and Kie, which he only nodded and fully entered the house.

June: "If he takes too long in there, we'll go in." -I whispered, seeing how Kie, nodded.

I took a look around the property, instantly feeling bad for, JJ. He doesn't deserve to live in a home like this, no one does. Especially with the person he lives with, a complete asshole.

Kie: "Hey, how are you feeling?"

June: "Uuhh, terrified...disgusted and mostly angry." -I replied, taking a hold of a book that rested on the back seats.

Kie: "Yeah, same. This is all so fucked up, I really hope that we can figure this whole thing up soon."

June: "Yeah, me too."

Kie: "Also, can I ask you a question?"

June: "You already asked a question." -I said, smiling at the girl, who only rolled her eyes as she smiled as well.

Kie: "True but can I?"

June: "Of course." -I replied, seeing how she looked back towards me.

Kie: "Is there something going on with you and JJ?

My eyes completely widened filled with confusion, making me cover the girl's mouth instantly.

June: "What? Why would you even ask me that?"

Kie: "Because, I've seen a lot of you guy's interactions...you seem to be pretty close sometimes." -she answered, making me question many stuff at once.

June: "Ummm...no. Nothing's going on, he doesn't even like me."

Kie: "But you do." -she mumbled, making me frown my eyebrows.

June: "I do not! I mean, I...I...never mind."

Kie: "I- I- What? You think he's cute?" -she asked, trying to hold her laugh in.

I rolled my eyes as I smiled, resting back onto the car's seat. I suddenly remembered the night me and JJ, kissed. Instantly making me wonder if he might actually like me, but then I was quick to remember how he pushed me away.

Kie: "I think he likes you, June. You guys...you guys look really cute together if I'm being freaking honest. And I never ship anyone with, JJ."

June: "Why not?"

Kie: "Cause he's always kissing other girls." -she mentioned, making me laugh.

June: "Well, that's a reason to not date him."

Kie: "Oh, so you do want to date him?!" -she exclaimed, making me shake my head quickly.

JJ: "Date who?"

He asked, quickly making the both of us look outside to see the boy, approaching the car as he wiped some tears away from his face. He then made it inside of the vehicle, making our smiles fade away instantly.

Kie: "How'd it go?" -she asked, seeing how JJ, smiled while showing off the boat's keys.

Kie, then drove off rapidly, and seconds later we were already making our way to the warehouse where the boat was currently at. Kie, continued to be quiet as she drove, her hands constantly shook over how panicked she felt currently. JJ, then noticed her mood instantly, looking over to the girl, quickly.

JJ: "It'll be fine. It'll be fine with the Phantom, she'll get out quick."

June: "Guys, be careful." - I spoke, watching how police vehicles were driving by pretty fast.

JJ: "Whoa, whoa, whoa."

We tried to low our heads to not get that noticed by the cops, only hearing how fast the vehicles passed by as the loud noise of the sirens echoed near us.

Kie: "They're still looking, it's a good sign." -she mentioned, making us nod while taking deep breaths.
________________________________

June: "You guys go inside, I'm gonna make sure the food hasn't fallen out of the bags."

Kie: "Yeah, thanks. We'll be quick." -she replied, following JJ, towards the warehouse.

The place was very lonely but still had a lot of items scattered around the area, it was probably abandoned a while ago but JJ, made the most out of it.

I walked over to the trunk of Kie's vehicle, beginning to check the bags since some of the fruits we had packed had fallen all over the trunk. The sound of the warehouse door opening made me look back, only to see JJ and Kie, talking as they looked at the large boat.

I sighed, only paying attention to the bags once again, beginning to feel something suddenly touching my back which was uncovered due to me wearing a crop top. The touch felt more like an object making contact with my skin, it was very cold and metallic. I slowly turned around, closing my eyes shut as I saw the person standing right behind me.

Barry: "Don't you dare say something, I'll shoot you." -he whispered, grabbing my wrist to pull me towards his chest.

He then made my back touch his chest, pointing the gun directly to my head as he made me walk towards the entrance of the warehouse. I could already hear what sounded like Kie and JJ, talking to someone, which I didn't knew who it was yet.

June: "JJ." -I mumbled, making the boy, turn around as Barry, whistled to gain his attention as well.

He open his eyes widely, only making me fear even more as I saw Rafe standing inches away from, Kie.

Barry: "Well, well."

He then pushed me in front of him, quickly making JJ, take a hold of my arms to push me behind him. Barry only pointed the gun towards our way, making the sound of the gun cocking echo throughout the space. We both lifted our hands up, continuing to look around as we heard footsteps approach from behind.

Barry: "See, don't think I forgot about me and you on the side of the road. I'm here because I want my motherfucking money!" -he exclaimed, quickly hitting my head with the lower part of his gun.

This making me fall onto the ground, only for JJ, to quickly get grabbed seconds later. Kie began to scream uncontrollably but this one got grabbed by Rafe, who only laughed over what was happening. My vision was blurry but I could still move around carefully, trying my very best to help the group.

Barry: "That's what I'm here for!"

I glared to my side, seeing Kie and Rafe, arguing.

Kie: "I know what you did."

Rafe: "What? What did I do?"

Kie: "You murdered, Peterkin!" -she shouted, her voice breaking in between sentence over how terrified she was.

Barry lifted his head aggressively after hearing what Kie, said. They only stayed quiet for a split second, then the blond one, took a hold of her neck abruptly.

June: "Stop it!" -I shouted, crawling towards the pair since I couldn't stand up.

Rafe: "Don't you ever say those fucking words again."

Kie: "Rafe!" -she gasped, trying to get the grip away from her neck.

Rafe: "Understand?"

June: "Rafe, leave her alone." -I mumbled, taking a hold of his feet, but he only kicked me away.

Kie: "No!"

Rafe: "Do you understand? Where's, John B?"

Kie: "Leave me alone!" -she snapped, hitting his hand constantly as she continued to gasp even more for air.

Rafe: "Where's, John B?"

Kie: "I don't know!"

Rafe: "Where's John B, huh?!" -he repeated, pulling her by her neck aggressively.

Kie: "I don't know! I don't know!"

My eyes darted over to the other entrance of the warehouse, seeing how Pope slowly approached Rafe, while holding onto a metal pole. He then quickly hit the boy's back, making Rafe, grunt loudly in pain.

Pope: "Don't touch her!" -he snapped, hitting the boy, once again.

Kie, sat right beside me, helping me up as I continued to watch the pair begin to fight. Thankfully Pope, seemed to be winning allowing me to calm down.

Barry: "Rafe!" -he shouted, trying to pass the gun to, the boy.

JJ, then took a hold of the boy's leg, making him fall down.

JJ: "Kie, kick it!" -he shouted, seconds later seeing Kie, do what he mentioned.

All of the boys began to fight amongst each other, as me and Kie, just watched everything in complete horror. The curly head, took a hold of my hand tightly, trying to gain my attention.

June: "What?"

Kie: "Your head is bleeding, we got to get you a bandage." -she mentioned, rubbing my wound gently to try and not hurt me.

We then glanced over to Pope, as we kept hearing what sounded like repetitive punching echoing through the warehouse. As we did, Pope kept on hurting Rafe, which only made us worry since the blond one, already seemed completely numb.

June: "He's going to kill him."

Kie: "Pope. Okay, Pope."

June: "He's already done, stop it." -I demanded, stepping closer to the pair.

Kie, followed along, beginning to heavy breathe completely panicked.

Kie: "Pope! Pope, that's good! Stop!"

JJ: "Hey, calm down!" -he shouted, approaching our way quickly.

He punched him once again, making him fall down to a pair of boxes behind him. We all watched completely shocked, seeing how angry the boy, looked.

JJ: "He's had enough, dude."

Kie: "He's good." -she cried out, watching how Pope, began to tie something around Rafe's neck.

JJ: "Snap out of it, man!"

June: "Pope, stop it! We don't have time."

He ignored us completely, continuing to try and choke the man. We approached him quickly, trying to get him to stop since he wasn't reacting at all.

Kie: "Pope, get off!"

JJ: "Let go! Come on!" -he shouted, placing his arms around his friend's chest.

Rafe, grunted in complete pain, beginning to close his eyes over the amount of air he was loosing. I shuffled Kie's shoulder, seeing how she opened her eyes widely by the sight.

Kie: "Look at me!"

He then drop the cable, looking up at the girl, in complete shock. He hyperventilated uncontrollably, as he was held still by JJ who looked down at Rafe, filled with horror.

JJ: "Shit. Oh, shit." -he whispered, watching how Pope and Kie, continued to look at each other.

Kie: "Hey, it's okay."

JJ, then approached me quickly, holding onto my face gently to take a look at my wound. He ripped off a piece of his shirt, beginning to use it as a wipe to get the blood away from my forehead.

JJ: "Guys, we have to go. June, might pass out or something."

Kie: "Okay, we gotta go. We gotta go." -she repeated, walking away leaving Pope, behind.

We all headed inside of the car eventually, starting the engine quickly. All of us feeling completely exhausted, more then before to be completely honest. I couldn't help but close my eyes shut, only hearing the group arguing amongst each other.

Everything just continued to get worse as time passed by, constantly feeling more and more horrifying.

End of chapter.

Sofia's notes:
So, next chapter will possibly be the last chapter of Act one!! I'm seriously surprised that I made it this far to be completely honest 😭 as you all know I'm very bad at gaining motivation, so all that I can say is that I'm proud of myself.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, did you catch the JJ and June moments? 😏🤭

see you soon, loves!!
