Life was always something so funny for Elena, you get to live it, enjoy it, make chaos with it, and with the blink of an eye, it was gone, just, like that. The four friends stood in front of the tree behind John B's house, Pope started hitting it with the machete, shards of wood fell off showing clear spaces of the tree. JJ heated his crowbar, staining it against the wood, marking up the name of John B, his year of birth, and the year he was now gone, and at the end, P4L.

"To John B." JJ sadly said, raising the metal flask.

"And to Sarah." Kiara added, her voice breaking just a little bit, and in her hands, she carried a small box with memories of them all.

Pope and JJ took a drink in their name, they all couldn't believe this, their friends were gone, and now they were burying the little memories. Elena handed Kie two small white daisies, the flowers rested above the box and were covered with the heavy dirt. The evening turned to night, none of the Pogues left John B's house, they even stayed the night, how could they leave at a time like this, going back to their "normal" lives, pretend to everyone else that it never happened, accept that their friends were gone. They just couldn't.

But normal had to come sooner or later, Pogues couldn't just bury themselves in their sorrow, little by little as time passed, each of them had to come out of their safety shell, Pope got busy doing school work and finding ways to get a scholarship, Kie had decided to hit the water to relax, and get high, JJ well being JJ he did crazy stuff, getting drunk, high, and getting tattoos. As for Elena, she stayed home, painting, cooking, and learning how to surf.

The Herrera's had too much going on, after the loss of Veronica, they didn't know how to move on the day after the funeral, that was until a bright early Tuesday, when Ernesto Herrera decided to put an end to his sorrow and help his family out, seeking out the only job he knew would make him happy, with help of Kie's father, Ernesto started a auxiliary cook at The Wreck.

Melissa grew her bonding with the Pogues as she started hanging out more with Kiara, and occasionally with Pope, but it then stopped when the younger sibling found out that Pope and Kiara were in the works of "dating". July turned into August and school was coming closer, going back terrified Elena, not seeing John B with them was wild, and when people talked about the lies of him being a murderer, well it pained her, but she had things to do before that, and one of them was work, she kept going to Figure Eight, working as hostess of a very wealthy Kook club, the same club JJ worked at.

Their shifts started during the evening and finished late night, sometimes too late that they would just get home, sleep for three hours and the sun would be peeking out at the horizon. Those were the nights Kooks have decided to go crazy with their parties and couldn't say no to the extra hours. Wednesday's usually a quiet evening for Elena and JJ, and today was that day, just a peaceful evening where both laid on Elena's bed, regaining energy from the night before and extra shift, peacefully, until Elena opened her eyes and saw the time on her phone, that is when she noticed how late it had gotten.

"Shit, move it JJ, we're gonna be late." Elena jumped out of her bed, of course, it had to happen today, Elena's alarm had been programmed to sound in the morning instead of the afternoon. JJ groaned, grabbing the pillow where Elena rested her head to place it above his face.

"I'm staying in." JJ mumbled, turning to his side, continuing with his sleep agenda.

"Up, come on, you don't want to get fired, you're late today and that will be your last strike, come on." The brunette punched his leg a few times until JJ gave up and grabbed his shirt.

"You know, getting fired doesn't sound like a terrible idea if you think of it." JJ pointed out, Elena stopped and turned to look at him in disbelief. "I'm joking?"

"You better be joking, now let's hustle." Elena grabbed her backpack, pushing JJ out of her room, and house, going towards JJ's motorbike.

With helmets on, JJ had to pick up some speed, just enough for them to be five minutes late, easily a road closed could be blamed, and that was their only option to use since their boss was standing in the entrance looking at them, pissed, really pissed.

"Just a warning, let it be a warning." Elena took off her helmet, brushing her now shoulder length hair. She turned to look at JJ taking out his flask, with a long sip, she knew whatever was inside of it, it wasn't water. "Drop that JJ, you know you shouldn't be drinking." The blonde just hid it, smiling at her, both walking towards their boss.

"Get to work now, and this will be taken off from your week." He snapped at them, the two teenagers just nodded and headed to work.

"Evening, I'm Elena, table for five?" The brunette said, starting her sentence with a warming smile, walking the family to their table Elena's eyes investigated around, seeing familiar faces on JJ's table. "Your waitress will be with you now, enjoy your evening."

And now, work began, people were shown to their reservations, and some others just came without any notice, few people treated Elena as less, knowing very well she stood far from the Kooks, apparently, she showed the Cut side on her appearance, maybe it was the she wasn't wearing expensive shoes or jewelry, or maybe her hair was too messy, but somehow they knew she wasn't from their crowd.

JJ's screaming got people turning their heads, Elena shot her glance up at the scene, she could see how Topper tried to help him, but JJ being JJ, he wasn't going to let it go so easily, especially when Kelce was trying to make him angry.

JJ grabbed the plastic cup and fork, hitting it a few times and calling for everyone's attention, or at least the attention of the people who weren't giving him at the moment.

"Oh shit." Elena whispered under her breath, whatever JJ was planning on doing, well, she knew it wasn't gonna end well.

"My best friend, John B, did not kill Sheriff Peterkin." Silence fell upon everyone, but their faces did all the talking. "Rafe Cameron killed and shot the sheriff in cold blood." He exclaimed, saying that is what happened, but as Kooks, no one would believe it. An example of it, was Kelce. "Is that so hard for you to believe, Kelce?"

"It is actually hard for me fo believe because it's always the Kook's fault, it's never the Pogue's fault." Kelce stood up, standing close to JJ's face, and for JJ he took the opportunity, grabbing the pitcher of water and throwing it at his face.

"Excuse me." Elena apologized to the couple, she hurried over where the fight was beginning to happen, Topper pulled JJ away from Kelce, telling him to stop. Another man rushed over pulling Kelce away, but, both of them threw punches and tried to pull away from their grip.

"It's not the time, man." Topper repeated, seeing his friend and Pogue, hoping that no other fight broke down.

"Hey, walk away JJ, away." Elena pushed him back gently, she saw their boss standing behind them, and just like she imaginedz

"Yeah, I know Raz, I know." JJ said as he untied part of his uniform. "I'm fired." He pushed the material against his boss's chest and walked away. Raz looked at Elena as if he was waiting for her to say the same.

"I'm just gonna check on him, that's all." Elena hurried behind JJ, calling his name a few times.

"Woah, where do you think you're going?" Kelce's voice was heard behind her, the grip on her wrist stopped her from continuing. "You need to change us to another table." Elena turned to look at him angrily, pulling her arm back. "Oh, you want to follow your boyfriend? Go ahead, just keep him on a leash."

"Don't you dare put your hands on me again." Elena pushed him back, she kept on walking losing sight of JJ, heading back to the entrance and being followed by Raz, Kelce and some other Kooks, she saw his figure heading to his motorbike.

JJ didn't look back as he shifted in his seat, he stopped for a moment as he powered the engine, lifting his left arm, he flipped everyone behind him, looking back with a smirk on his lips, Elena could hear some gasps and curses from the people coming to the club, some of those came from their boss even.

And without a warning, JJ sped up towards the bushes, destroying every flower he could, Elena covered her mouth, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. There was a mix of shock, excitement, and shock again, and from what Elena picked up, it wasn't only her who did the exact reaction as well.

"Yeah, go away dirty pogue." Kelce screamed out. "Now, are you getting us a new table babe?" Kelce leaned close over to Elena, his hand resting on her waist pulling him to his body.

"I said don't fucking touch me." Elena screamed out, pushing him back, her boss shouted her name and pointed at her. "No, you know what, I quit, I don't want to be around people who grab my ass or touch me inappropriately, oh and it's not only me, I've seen co-workers who had been touched by older men, but you guys don't ever do anything about it." Elena sighed deeply, passing her hands through her hair. "I quit, I am done." Elena walked away after she threw her name tag at her boss, she didn't look back, not caring about the screams of her name behind her.

Then it hit her, she didn't think this through in a very smart way, Elena didn't have a ride, JJ already left and well, no car.

"Shit, now what?" Elena repeated the question a few times, pulling her phone out she searched for Kiara's number, hoping she could pick her up. "Hey, hey." Elena happily said as the other line picked up. "Kie, I'm in a complicated situation, can you pick me up at work? I'll tell you everything here."

"Yeah, of course, are you okay?" Kiara's voice softened, she worried since she knew Elena's work shifts.

"Yeah, just I quit and JJ got fired, and he left before I even told him what I did, so I got no ride now." Chuckling nervously, Elena thanked her friend when she said she was getting there in a minute. "Oh shit, how am I gonna tell dad about this now?"
