𝗝𝗝 𝗠𝗔𝗬𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗞 woke up in confusion when he felt someone play with his hair. He started smiling immediately once he inhaled her scent and he opened his eyes to be met with beautiful brown ones of his best friend.

He looked at her and he wondered if he was dreaming, if she was that ethereal. How funny it was that he was just dreaming of her and waking up to her smile at him—a smile that completes his dreams.

JJ held her close to him, afraid this wouldn't be real. Afraid that he didn't wake up in the arms of the girl he was in love with, the girl who taught him how to love.

He wrapped his arms around her, inhaling her scent once again and reminding himself that this was real. He felt her pull back and press a kiss against his forehead and if he were to kiss her now, he didn't think he would ever stop.

Fortunately but unfortunately, the door creaked and John B's head popped up and he sent a smirk towards the Maybank boy.

JJ blinked back his annoyness from John B's interruption and reached over to the bedside table and threw an empty can with all the strength he could muster.

"Dude, come on." JJ scolded, annoyed. "Get out of here."

Unfortunately, John B closed the door in time and the can hit the door and made a loud clutter sound as it fell onto the hardwood floor.

JJ could feel the girl beneath him laughing and it made him change his expression into an admiring one and he started laughing with her.

Eventually, they both stopped and he felt like he could her faint from hearing her soft and alluring voice.

"I think we should get up now." Her voice made him melt in his bones.

Mindlessly, he nodded, not wanting the moment to end so quickly and now that he thought about it, it was good John B interrupted because then he would've kissed the life out of her and he wouldn't have regretted one single bit.

Maybe next time he would swallow his nerves and kiss the goddess that haunts his dreams every night.

Maybe next time.

──────────────────────────

𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗨𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬, Amirah and JJ did get up, and once they entered the kitchen, they were met with a bunch of whistles that made JJ smirk and bow down.

"Fucking ass." Amirah pushed him and left to get cereal.

"Hey!" JJ shouted after her and sat next to John B. "That's quite mean, I don't like you now."

"Bite my ass and see if I would care."

John B leaned next to JJ's ear and teased him. "You were obsessing over her again."

JJ groaned and pushed him away. "Fuck off."

"Come on." John B laughed. "You know it's true."

"What's true?" Kie asked.

"That JJ is obsessing over Amirah again." John B whispered.

Kie shrugged. "I know. He does that all the time."

"Yeah but you should've seen him this morning, this guy was full on staring at her and it was so cute." John B insisted.

JJ groaned once again and got up from next to John B. "I don't like you right now either."

──────────────────────────

𝗔𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬, the pogues learned that there was Hurricane Agatha that was coming. Pope, Kie and Amirah was asked hy their parents if they could return home and JJ stayed with John B at the Château.

Unfortunately Amirah doesn't listen and decided to get herself killed by sitting down on the beach when the rain started pouring down while having a joint in her hand.

Right now, Kie would tell her to put that out because it's harming the environment which is ❛ harming ❜ the turtles but she's feeling insecure so Kie could give her a pass.

She was drawn out of her thoughts when she felt someone sit next to her. She could tell it was JJ by his breathing. She could do this thing where she could tell if it someone by their breathing.

For some reason it only worked for JJ and John B always teased her by saying that it was ❛ true love's sense ❜ or something like that.

They both sat there in silence while the sound of rain and waves splashing filled their ears until Amirah finally stood up from the sand and held out her hand for JJ to take.

"Come on, blondie." She said. "I wanna show you something."

Almost immediately, JJ grabbed her hand and let her lead the way to wherever she was taking them to.

The longer the walk took, the more rain splashed on the water and sand. Finally, they approached a part of the beach that he's never seen before with police tapes around it that surrounded the whole area.

Amirah led him over the tapes to a secluded part of a cave where the rocks shined and sparkled and where you could see a perfect view of the beach. JJ let out a laugh of disbelief and looked at the beauty around him.

"This is so. . ."

"—Pretty?" Amirah finished off for him. "Ethereal? Extraordinary? Beautiful?"

"This is so fucking awesome." JJ laughed.

Amirah smiled. "I've never shown anyone this before, you know"

"Really?" He asked and Amirah nodded.

"You're the first one other than me to come here, so congratulations, Maybank." She laughed and patted him on the back.

JJ's head suddenly turned towards her. "Wait, is this where you go when you disappear for a few hours?"

She nodded. "I'm gonna have to find a new spot now."

Amirah sat on the sand and admired the waves splashing against each other and JJ sat next to her, deciding to admire her instead.

She leaned her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pressed a kiss on her forhead just like she did that morning.

After admiring the waves, they both said goodbye and went their seperate ways. That night, they both fell asleep without the presence of each other and with the heavy lingering of their hearts.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗧 𝗗𝗔𝗬, JJ Maybank woke up when he heard footsteps paddling against the hardwood floor and suddenly he felt a sensation on his back from his position, laying on the sofa. "Yo JJ, you been inside?"

"I have polio bro, I can't walk." The Maybank's words were incoherent as he mumbled into the sofa.

John B walked past him and opened the front door to the outside and internally groaned as he saw the ruckage.

"Oh, man." He yawned. "That's no good. That is no good."

John B walked over to the boat where there were some branches covering it and he looked behind him, noticing that JJ still wasn't up yet.

"Come on JJ, we'll see Amirah soon." He spoke with a teasing tone in his voice and heard the paddling of feet behind him.

"Agatha did some work huh?" JJ's voice rang out while John B took the branches that were covering the boat.

"Oh, you're finally awake." John B spoke sarcastically.

"I'm only awake to see 'Ams." JJ grumbled and then burped loudly and John B grunted.

John B decided to climb inside the HMS Pogue while JJ followed shortly behind him, close to the edge of the boat. "What you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that the storm surge pushed all the crabs out on the marsh maze." John B stated, clearing the mess on the boat. "All those drum are gonna chase that crab."

"What about DCS? Wasn't that today?" JJ's eyebrows furrowed.

"Nah, they're not getting on a ferry." John B informed him. "Come on, think about it, It's God telling us to fish."

"Alright then, but let's hurry up, I wanna see 'Ams."

"Yeah, because you're in love with her." John B teased.

"Shut up, man."

──────────────────────────

❝𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗛. . .❞

"It's kind of a smugglers boat." John B said and then waved to a person who was looking at them. "Uh. . . Good Mornin'."

"I hope Guffy's boat didn't sink." JJ stated as the boat got closer to dock close to the Heyward's. "He doesn't have insurance."

"Yeah." John B agreed. "Hi Miss Amy, you guys get through it?"

"Still here!" She shouted back.

"She definitely looked at me". JJ mumbled.

"Oh yeah, definitely saw it." John B replied sarcastically.

JJ and John B both laughed before seeing the damage that happened upon the water. There was trees on the ground and there was sand everywhere. JJ put his hands on his hips and whistled.

"Agatha, what did you do?"

"We'll be cleaning this all summer."

"This is my nightmare."

Ahead of them, the two pogues see Pope and a hose is in his hands as he sprays the wood to get rid of the dirt and the branches.

Next to him, sits a wooden sign on the wooden pole of the dock saying, ❛ BRING IT ON AGGIE, YOU BITCH ❜

"We have a safety meeting, atendance mandatory." John B states, acting like he is talking on a walkie—talkie.

"Guys, I can't. My pops got me and Ams' on lockdown." Pope tells them.

"Speaking of 'Ams, where is she?" JJ smirked.

"Out on back, cleaning the other side. Do you want me to call her?" Pope asks him, even though he knows the answer.

"Pretty please. If you wouldn't mind."

A few seconds after Pope called his sister, the three saw Amirah's head pop up towards their direction. She walked towards them and a smile lit up JJ's face once he saw her.

"Hey 'Ami!" John B called out with a wave.

"Hey John's and Bee's." She called back, looking at him. She then turned to head towards JJ and smiled widely. "Hey, sweetheart."

"Hey, princess." He smiled at her.

"So, we have a meeting so you two have to come because it's mandatory that all members are there." John B told them.

"We can't, our Pop's got us on lockdown." Pope told him again

"Yeah it's true, he even put bars on my window so I couldn't escape through there, without him seeing me." Amirah grumbled.

"Your dad's a pussy. Over." JJ said, earning a ❛ JJ! ❜ from Amirah ."Come on, darling, get your pretty butt in here."

"Oh I heard that, you, little bastard." Heyward makes his way over to the four of them. "You still flirting with my daughter, Maybank?"

"Always am, sir." He nodded at the man, grabbing Amirah's hand to gently pull her in the boat.

"We need your children." John B informs the older man.

"Yeah. And island rules, the day after a hurricane is a free day." JJ lied.

"Who the hell made that up?" Heyward huffed.

"Uh. . . Pentagon, I think?" JJ awkwardly replied. "We have a security clearance. I have a card."

"Do y'all think I'm stupid?"

"Of course not." Amirah reassured.

Pope's eyes landed on his father. "W—We'll do it tomorrow."

Amirah snorted. "I don't know what you mean by ❛ we ❜, because I'm not doing that."

"Shut up." Pope hissed, turning to his sister and she put her hands up in defense while JJ and John B chuckled.

"We'll do it tomorrow." Pope compromised. "I promise."

"No, no." Heyward replied, with a shake of his head. "Hell no. You two are doing it right now."

"Get in the boat." John B whispered to Pope.

"Make a run for it, bro." JJ egged on.

Pope's eyes travelled to his father and there was hint of guilt stretched onto his face and he looked between his father and his friends, unsure of which one to choose.

Making up his mind, Pope dropped the hose from his hand and his friends help him on to the water sprays onto the ground and John B is suddenly urged to start driving.

"Bring both of your asses back here!" Heyward shouted.

"I promise we'll do it tomorrow, dad." Pope repeats once again.

"Love you!" Amirah called out with a wave.

"When you two get back, you're going to clean shrimp and fish. You'll clean your dirty ass rooms too!"

"We'll bring them back in one piece, I promise!" John B reassures.

"And I don't like your friends!" Heyward adds on.

The boat begins to pick up speed as Amirah stood up from the edge of the boat that she was sitting on and was about to greet John B when suddenly she was lifted into the air and was sprung around many times.

"JJ!" She shrieked, knowing who the culprit was. He let her down and twisted her body around, with his hands on her hips, making sure that she was facing towards him.

"Hi, princess." He buried his face in her neck.

"Hi, blondie." She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I missed you, you know?"

"'Missed you more. You know I can never sleep properly unless you're there." Amirah beamed at him and held him tighter.

After a while, the four of them came upon another dock, belonging to the Carrera's. The Carrera was currently walking down the dock with a cooler in her hand.

Amirah quickly got up from where she was sitting with JJ and held out her hand to help her friend in.

"Hi, honey." Amirah helped her in.

"Hello, my love." She replied.

"What have you got in there? Juice boxes?" Pope asks.

"You know, just some yogurts and carrot sticks." Kie responded, taking a seat besides Pope.

"What about my type of juice boxes?" JJ asks her.

Kiara nods and proceeds to take out one of the beers for herself and taking two out for Amirah and JJ.

Amirah sits on the edge of the boat, her feet floating over the glistening water and JJ joins her a few seconds after.

"Cheers." JJ lifts up his bottle.

"Cheers." Amirah replied, clinking her bottle with his.

A while has passed of the five of them relaxing and chilling sometimes full of Amirah and Pope arguing or Amirah and JJ teasing each other—as to why now JJ doesn't have his shirt on anymore.

Pope replaced John B on driving the boat, but he's not even driving, just letting it drift off.

"Anyone want to see a party trick?" JJ questions, causing a row of groans to fill the boat.

"Go on, J." Amirah smiles at him.

JJ goes on his feet and stands on the front edge of the HMS where the wind blows his current messy blonde hair. He lifts up the bottle, trying to aim the beer to go into his mouth.

A series of complaints come out from the other people as the beer starts to get on his friends. Suddenly, the boat came to an abrupt stop and two people went flying into the water.

"Hey, you two okay?" John B asks the two teenagers in the water.

"I think my heels touched the back of my head." JJ replies, floating in the water. "'Ams, you okay?"

"I landed face first in the water, I think my face got fucked." Amirah's voice was heard besides JJ.

"You know, I can make sure your face gets— "

"—I'm good, thanks though." She cuts him off. "Popeyes? You dead yet?"

"I'm fine, you're not getting rid of me yet." Pope replies.

"Pope, what the hell did you do?" JJ groans.

"Sandbar. The channel changed." Pope explained.

"No shit!" JJ and Amirah begins to swim over towards the boat. "Hey, I saved the beer though."

"Congratulations JJ, I wonder what that will do for us in the future, perhaps the bottle would grow like the bean from Jack and the Beanstalk and then we would soon live in it like the Genie in Aladdin."

"Don't you be sarcastic with me, pretty lady—"

"Guys, I think there's a boat down there." Pope cuts off JJ unintentionally.

The four of them turn to Pope confusingly and Amirah takes it upon herself to try to look down towards the water as the rest of them and she finally sees it. "Holy shit!"

"What?" JJ immediately responds.

"There is a boat down there."
