"Thinking about getting a new board?" Kiara asks me as I admire the board in my hands while waiting for Wendy to come back.

"I thought about it and since I got a new surfboard, I might get a new skateboard too" I answer with a shrug.

"When'd you get a new surfboard?" Sarah asks me in confusion.

"JJ fixed up one of his old ones for me as a gift. He painted it my favourite colour and wrote 'angel' on the bottom with my initials on the top" I explain to them with a smile on my face.

"No shit?" Kiara awes.

"That's so cute" Sarah coos.

"I know, right?" I grin happily "He's amazing"

"You make each other so happy" Kiara comments with a smile, throwing her arm around me and I nod in agreement.

"He's my person" I mumble, glancing over at the blonde boy.

He feels me staring at him and looks at me, winking with a cute smile on his face. I shake my head with a smile and turn back to the girls who are grinning at me.

"I knew he was the guy for you" Sarah states proudly and I roll my eyes.

"She's coming!" I hear John B hiss and I look back at the skateboard.

"So, I, uh...I talked to my boss" Wendy declares as she walks in.

"And?" JJ asks.

"And, uh, this is what I can do" She tells him, placing a slip of paper on the counter.

"Fifty thousand?" JJ asks in disbelief "You think I walked in here not knowin the spot price? Ma'am, I know for a fact this is worth 140, at least"

"Well, sweetie, you in a pawnshop. This ain't Zurich. Do I look Swiss to you?" Wendy asks sarcastically.

"Ninety, or I walk" JJ snaps.

"Seventy. Half price and, um...I don't ask questions about where you got this" Wendy states and I turn, making eye contact with an amused looking Kiara.

I wink at her and she blows me a kiss which I pretend to catch, making her giggle.

"I'm gonna need that in large denominations, please" JJ declares and I grin widely at both girls who share my expression.

"Well, here's the snag. I don't have that much denominated, not here anyway. I can write you a cashier's check" Wendy tells us.

"Cash- No, Ma'am. I want the cold hard. That's what that sign says. Cash for gold. And that's what I expect. I'm gonna get it in cold hard" JJ rants sternly and I swoon at the authority in his voice.

Kiara elbows me with a smirk and I elbow her back, sticking my tongue out at her.

"Well, I have to send you to the warehouse. I have the money there. Is that all right?" Wendy asks.

JJ thinks for a moment, narrowing his eyes and pursing his lips. He clenches his jaw and I swear butterflies erupt in my stomach.

"Where's this warehouse?" He asks.

✯¸.•'*¨'*•༻❁༺•*'¨*'•.¸✯

"So they keep the money out here?" Pope asks as John B drives us to the warehouse.

"That's what she said" JJ shrugs.

"Hah, that's what she said" He laughs, realising what he's just said.

"Stop" Pope snaps and I snort, shaking my head at the blonde.

"I've never even heard of Resurrection Drive" Sarah states from the passenger seat.

"That's cause you're rich" JJ says.

"You've never heard of it either" I retort.

"Thank you" Sarah says gratefully and I shoot her a smile.

"There's nothing but weeds back here" Kiara complains.

"All right, just cause it's just weeds, doesn't mean it's, like..." JJ struggles to finish his sentence but, unfortunately, a siren does that for him.

"Cops? Out here?" Kiara worries.

"Oh, shit" I mutter.

"God! Are you kidding me?!" JJ yells.

"What did we do?" Sarah asks in disbelief.

"Why are we getting pulled over?" Pope asks in confusion.

"Stash that" John B snaps at JJ who is holding the gold.

"Chill, guys" Kiara says calmly.

"Cops are the worst" I groan in annoyance.

"Did you bring the gun?" John B asks JJ in panic.

"No. Okay? Everybody told me to leave it back at the place" JJ tells him.

"Thank God" Kiara breathes out in relief.

"Please, get everything else in your bag" She snaps at JJ.

"I am! I am, all right?" JJ retorts as he shoves his bag into the storage space under his seat.

"How much weed do you have on you, bro?" Kiara asks in disbelief.

I hear a gun cock and I slowly turn to see someone holding a shotgun to John B's head. I look closer at the guy's half covered face and my anxiety sky rockets.

"Why don't I just go ahead and see them hands in the air right now?" The guy declares.

"All y'all's hands up in the air right now!" He screams and we all put our hands up.

"You, out of the car! Let's go! Hurry!" He yells at John B who slowly climbs out the van.

"Let them out!" He adds.

"What are you waitin on? What are you waitin on?! Let them out! All y'all! Go on!" He shouts as John B slides open the van door.

"Let's get out the car! Let's go! There you go, pretty girl" He coos as Sarah gets out " Here we go! Get out the car, let's go! Hurry up!"

"Look, we're broke-" JJ is cut off.

"Shut the hell up!" Barry yells.

"All right! Just relax!" JJ barks, walking backwards.

I climb out the van last and the guy grabs my arm, shoving me towards the others. My body collides with another and I turn my head up to see JJ glare at the man angrily as he wraps his arms around me protectively.

"Chill!" JJ snaps.

"I will blow your damn head off!" The guy threatens my boyfriend and I grab the Maybank boy in fear.

"Lay down in the ditch! On your goddamn hands and knees! Down!" He orders and we all slowly drop to the ground in a row.

"Put your face on the ground!" The guy screams in my face and I put my head down, holding back tears.

"Stay here just like that! Put your head down! Don't let me see you look up! All right?! That's all y'all gotta do" He demands.

I turn my head slightly to the person on my left and I see it's Pope. The Heyward boy nods at me softly with a reassuring but weak smile and I return the favour, praying to God we all make it out of this alive.

"It's a setup, guys" Kiara cries.

"That's old bat shanked us. Fuck! Goddamn it!" JJ groans, punching the ground.

"JJ, Shut up" I warn the blonde and he turns his head to me.

His eyes fall to my shaking hands and he frowns, grabbing my hand with his own. He squeezes it comfortingly and I take a deep breath before sending him a grateful look.

"Wait. No, no, no, no. John B. No" I hear Sarah whisper in a panicked tone and I look up to see John B stand up.

"Johnny, what are you doing?" I whisper yell, fear clear in my voice.

"John B. Don't be a hero, man" Pope pleads.

The brunette shushes us and I watch in horror as John B climbs into the back of the guy's car, hiding in the back seat.

"All right, y'all stay just like that! Unless you want your brains blown out all over this road, don't move your goddamn heads, okay?!" The guy yells at us as he makes his way to his car, where John B is currently hiding.

He climbs into the car and I watch in worry as John B jumps up, grabbing the gun and fighting off the guy.

"Guys, I got the gun!" John B yells, jumping out the car.

JJ immediately jumps up, pulling me to my feet and we sprint to the car.

The guy tries to take the gun from John B but JJ socks him in the face causing him to stumble back. He recovers and punches JJ back, making my eyes widen in concern for the blonde. Kiara throws her fist at the guy and he throws her to the ground.

"You little bitch!" I snap, slamming my foot into his leg.

He stumbles and I use his distraction to sock him in the jaw. My actions anger the already furious man and he grabs me like he did Kiara, throwing me aggressively.

My knees hit the concrete first and I hiss in pain as my body hits the ground.

"Hey!" John B yells angrily and hits the guy over the head with the gun, making him crumple onto the ground.

"I got the gold!" Pope shouts as John B helps me to my feet.

The guy tries to get up but Sarah grabs the car door, hitting him with it multiple times. Kiara and Pope send kick after kick to the guy's body before I step in, kicking him against the door.

"Son of a bitch" Sarah spits as he slumps down, beaten and defeated.

I pull his mask down and glare at him angrily as I recognise him as the guy who deals to Rafe. Barry, I think his name is.

"I know this piece of shit! He's a basehead!" JJ growls.

"Probably knows our brother" Sarah huffs.

"It's his dealer" I confirm angrily, my hate for the man bubbling up inside me.

"He sells coke to my dad" JJ snaps and my glare hardens at the lowlife in front of me.

"Listen, I couldn't hurt any single one of y'all-" He is cut off when JJ smashes the end of the gun into his stomach.

"JJ!" Kiara shrieks and I grab his arm, pulling him back.

"Dude, chill, man. Come on" Pope tells the blonde, taking the gun from him.

"Let's get out of here" He adds as JJ snatches Barry's wallet.

The blonde pulls out an ID card before throwing the wallet at the wheezing guy.

"We got one last stop" JJ states, storming towards the van.

"Hey!" John B yells.

"Let's go see where this son of a bitch lives" JJ snaps.

"Fucking hell, JJ" I sigh, chasing after him.

"I'm gonna remember this shit! You can't hide from me! I know exactly who y'all are! Huh?! You gonna see me again!" Barry shouts in rage as we all pile into the van.
