After securing the alcohol at Geechie's, we head back to the chateau and get ready for a welcome back party, Pogue style. I change into a white bikini with a red flower pattern on it and head straight to the hot tub with my sister.

"Uh oh" Kiara says as she sits on the side of the hot tub next to Sarah.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" John B announces as the boys run at us, jumping into the hot tub.

"Shot gun" JJ adds, throwing a beer at me.

We all pierce the bottoms of our cans and pop open the top, chugging the cold liquid inside until the cans are empty.

"Whoo!" I holler, throwing my can into a box full of trash.

"Yeah! Whoo!" John B whoops after finishing his own drink.

"Whoo!" JJ repeats, splashing beer over his head and it splashes us all too.

We all burst out laughing at his stupidity and Kiara offers Sarah the blunt in her hand, who then passes it to me. I take it from my sister, inhaling the smoke deeply and laying my head back on the edge of the hot tub, staring up at the stars through the trees.

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah" Pope chants and I glance over to see JJ dancing to the music playing from a bluetooth speaker I left here over a year ago.

A smile tugs at my lips and I don't even complain when Sarah snatches the blunt back off me, I just stare back up at the stars. A blonde mop of hair pops into my view and the upside down JJ grins at me.

"This position is giving me deja vu" He tells me and I furrow my brows in confusion.

"How so?" I hum as he pulls my hair out of the ponytail it's in.

"Remember when you were hung upside down from that tree?" JJ murmurs, his face leaning in closer to mine.

"You might have to be a little more specific. I've hung up side down from trees a lot" I tell him and he rolls his eyes with a smile.

"We were at the lighthouse and I was asking you about your feelings" He elaborates and I nod, letting him know I remember it "I wanted to kiss you so badly"

"You just want to have a Spiderman kiss" I tease and he grins widely.

"That'd be pretty cool too" He admits.

"Kiss me then, hot stuff" I smile and he doesn't need to be told twice, pressing his lips to mine.

While the kiss is sweet and slow, I can't help but let out a giggle at the awkward angle and he laughs along with me, pulling back a little.

"Move aside a little, Jayj" I wave my hand at him.

He takes a couple steps to the left and I stretch right back over the edge until my palms are placed down on the grass. I kick my feet up out of the water, likely splashing the others, and flipping backwards out of the hot tub. My feet hit the grass and I stand up straight, the Pogues all cheering loudly and clapping at me as I curtsy with a laugh.

"How the fuck did you do that?" John B questions in disbelief, making the others laugh.

"She used to be a gymnast" Sarah outs my secret.

"Oh, that makes so much sense" JJ speaks his thoughts aloud with a smirk, causing me to blush bright red while the others burst out into howling laughter and Sarah shrieks, covering her face as if she's witnessed a crime.

"Please shut up" I plead, grabbing an an empty beer box and shoving it over the boy's head.

JJ runs at me and sweeps me off the ground, throwing me over his shoulder. I squeal in surprise and grab onto him tightly as he leaps into the hot tub, splashing us all. The boy lets me go and throws the box onto the grass, sitting between John B and Pope who starts rapping.

"I never made good grades in school
When I get out, I act like a fool,
They say I come in the party
And cause a commotion
I'm smooth
Yeah, call me lotion" Pope raps and we all cheer encouragingly at his freestyling.

"Do it, Pope!" JJ hollers.

Pope raps a little more and my boyfriend grabs my waist before I can sit with the girls, sitting me on his lap. John B hands me a joint and I take a few drags before placing it between JJ's lips.

"Just like the good Lord intended" The blonde says.

"It was way too genuine" Sarah replies.

"Come on. Give me- Give me that shit! Give me it!" JJ yells to Pope and we all laugh at him.

"Ah!" Pope chuckles, wrapping my boy up in his arms and me with them.

✯¸.•'*¨'*•༻❁༺•*'¨*'•.¸✯

"Get it, Pope!" Sarah hollers as JJ and Pope push each other, trying to tip the other's balance.

"Come on, Jayj!" I counter and the blonde boy grins widely, pushing our friend hard.

Pope tips back and almost falls backwards but he manages to catch himself before he does with a whoop.

"Yes! Yeah!" Pope cheers.

"Okay!" JJ snaps, grabbing the boy and trying to tackle him to the ground but Pope puts up a good fight "Ah! Good, good, good, good, good! Get on the leg! Oh!"

"With the single leg sweep!" John B yells and Pope gets JJ onto the grass.

"You've got a new technique now" JJ laughs as Pope gets up, raising his arms in triumph.

"Oh no! No!" Sarah coos.

"When did you start wrestling?" John B jokes.

"I dunno" Pope shrugs, picking up his shirt with a smile "I'm done. I'm out of here"

"Did you have too many beers?" JJ asks in a funny accent, making me laugh before asking in a normal voice "You want a round two?"

"Yeah, I think I'll take my losses" Pope calls back as he walks away.

Kiara stands up and grabs her top, glancing back at Sarah and I with a sly smirk on her face.

"Really?!" Sarah gasps as Kiara follows after Pope.

"Oh yeah" JJ grins, sitting down next to me "Way to be discreet!"

"I leave, and this is what happens" John B scoffs.

"Are you blaming me?" JJ asks in disbelief.

"Just a little bit" John B answers.

"Vie and Kie broke the rule before I ever did" JJ passes the blame to me and I gasp, slapping his arm.

"In my defence, Kiara and I were already close before I was a Pogue" I argue.

"Uh oh. Your boy's out. Beer time" John B speaks up as he shakes his empty can, getting up.

"You guys are the ones that died, okay?" JJ continues the previous argument.

"Literally one job, JJ" Sarah replies with an amused smile.

"Okay" He scoffs.

"No Pogue on Pogue macking!" Sarah announces.

"One job? Sarah, one job? Okay- Who got you the Phantom? Huh? You ever think about that?" JJ argues.

"Only one, ya know" Sarah stands her ground and I laugh at the bickering blondes.

"No. You guys weren't there" JJ protests.

"No. No excuses. You're a Pogue. You should know this" Sarah retorts.

"Yo, hold that thought" JJ abruptly says before jogging off.

I turn to my sister, just the two of us sitting by the fire and she smiles at me warmly.

"Y'know, I'm glad you're not dead" I blurt out and she laughs quietly.

"Me too" She nods.

"You've died on me twice now. That's so not cool, barbie" I tell her, subconsciously reaching for the s initial necklace around my neck.

"You kept it" My sister smiles wider when she notices the jewellery she gave me.

"Well, duh" I shrug and we both laugh a little.

Out of the corner of my eye I see the HMS Pogue leaving the dock with Kiara and Pope aboard.

"Sarah, look" I point out to the water.

"JJ, John B!" Sarah calls out, pointing too.

"Oh! All right" JJ hollers, the two boys joining us again.

"Have a good time!" Sarah shouts at them.

"There he goes. He jacked your boat, dude" JJ laughs at John B.

"Pope's poking on the Pogue" John B says in awe and Sarah loudly wolf whistles at the couple.

"I'll be back. Gotta pee" I declare standing up and leaving the Pogues to their jokes.

I head into the chateau and do what I gotta do, washing my hands afterwards. As I open the bathroom door, I hear things being smashed in the living room and I frown in confusion. Quietly, I tiptoe through the house until I reach the living room and I look around but find no one there.

I turn to exit through the back door when I'm grabbed by a dark figure and I scream, flailing around in fear as the man drags me to the backyard.

"Yo!" I hear my brother shout "Anything?"

"Yeah, bro. Look at what we have here" The man holding me answers proudly and as we enter the light, Barry's face grins back at me.

"Sylvie?" Rafe's voice gains my attention and I turn to him in surprise "I thought you had gotten yourself killed"

"You know me. I can survive just about anything" I joke, but no one laughs or even smiles.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" My brother asks me.

"Drinking" I answer simply.

"Alone?" Barry scoffs in disbelief.

"You sound pretty judgy for a drug dealer" I spit at him.

Barry grabs my hair and yanks my head back, looking down at me with an angry glare. I glare right back at him in rage, not giving him the satisfaction of knowing how much he's hurting me.

"Let go of her" Rafe demands, pointing the gun in his hand at Barry and my eyes widen when I spot the weapon.

"Chill, country club" Barry laughs, shoving me to my brother "I ain't gonna do shit"

"Where are your friends, Sylvie?" Rafe asks me, grabbing my arm.

"They're home" I shrug.

"Bullshit" Barry retorts.

"Where are John B and Sarah?" Rafe questions, ignoring Barry.

"I don't know" I mumble with another shrug.

"Tell me where John B is, runt" Rafe snaps at me, growing more agitated.

"I told you. I don't know, Rafe" I counter.

"Stop lying to me!" Rafe screams, pointing his gun at me and I flinch.

"I'm not lying!" I cry out in fear.

"How am I supposed to look after you if you won't tell me where John B is?" Rafe presses, lowering the gun.

"What are you talking about?" I frown in confusion.

"He's dangerous, Sylvie. I'm just looking out for you" Rafe tells me.

"She's not gonna rat him out, country club. Give it up" Barry declares.

"Please go home" I plead, grabbing his arm "As your little sister I am begging you to go home, Rafe"

"I can't do that" Rafe shakes his head.

"P4L" Barry speaks up mockingly and Rafe turns to look at the tree that the Pogues burnt John B's name into.

"Well, shit" Rafe laughs, pointing the gun at the tree.

"So your sisters are Pogues for life, huh, Rafe? Now who would've thought?" The raven haired man jokes and this seems to anger my brother.

"Shit!" Rafe roars and fear races through my veins.

"All right, chill" Barry warns him but he pulls the trigger and I scream, dropping to the grass as Rafe lets off more shots "Hey! Whoa! Hey, chill, bro! Rafe! Chill your shit! Chill out! You're gonna get our asses busted, dawg!"

"Let's bounce" Barry adds "Let's bounce. Let's go!"

Rafe turns to me and guilt fills his features as he takes a step towards me, but I flinch and he freezes up.

"I didn't mean to scare you" He apologises.

"Go home, Rafe. Please" I let out a sob and he nods regretfully.

"I'm sorry" He breathes out, following after Barry.
