Around half way into the movie, it's dark outside and I'm more laid back than before. JJ has his arm around me and his head is leaning against my own as we watch the movie.

"JJ?" I hear Pope whisper.

"What?" The blonde asks in irritation.

"Gotta take a piss" Pope answers.

"Hold it" JJ states.

"I can't hold it. I drank too much soda" Pope says desperately.

"It's too exposed. They'll totally see us" JJ tells him.

"I gotta go" Pope snaps and JJ lifts his head, looking behind us.

"They're blocking the bathrooms" He then states and I peek behind me to see the Kooks are in fact blocking the bathrooms.

"JJ, I gotta go too" I whisper and he curses under his breath.

"Come here. I know where" JJ huffs and we both get up.

"Hey, where y'all going?" Kiara whispers.

"We gotta wring it out" JJ answers.

"You gonna hold it for them?" She ask me in disgust and I let out a quiet snort.

I follow JJ through the rows and Pope follows close behind me. We reach a large tree off the side of the screen and both boys immediately pull down their zips.

"Whoa! A little warning would be nice, guys" I groan, leaning against the tree and covering my eyes with my hands.

"Ain't nothin you've never seen before, bunny" JJ jokes and I roll my eyes.

"Shut up, asshole" I snap, cringing as I listen to them peeing.

"I thought you had to pee" JJ says to me.

"I lied" I retort simply.

"Oh, so you just wanted to watch me pee?" He questions and I can hear the smirk in his voice.

"No, I wanted to make sure you didn't go around beating anyone else up" I snap.

"Wow! Low blow, angel" He scoffs.

"This feels better than a blowjob" Pope comments.

"Like you know how that feels" JJ scoffs.

"This feels better than what I imagine a blowjob would feel like" Pope then corrects himself.

"Popey, I don't know who's giving you imaginary blowjobs, but they're not doing a very good job" I tell him and JJ laughs, zipping up his shorts.

"You bring the peacemaker?" Pope asks the blonde.

"Oh, shit, I forgot it" JJ says and I drop my hands, looking at him in disbelief.

"You forgot it?!" I shriek.

"Hurry up. Hurry up!" He snaps at Pope.

"Dude, you had one job. That's all I asked you to do, man" Pope huffs, pulling up his zip.

"I know. Let's go back" JJ replies.

"What's up, Pogues?!" I hear Rafe and I look up to see him walking towards us.

"What's up, Rafe?" JJ says in return, all three of us walking backwards away from my brother.

"How you guys doin' tonight?" Rafe asks sarcastically.

"Isn't it past your bedtime?" JJ retorts and I grab his arm, warning him to shut up.

"I just wanna talk" He adds, referring to the fact we're walking away from him.

"Hey, hey! Chill out, Topper" I hear Pope say and I turn to see Topper and Kelce walking towards us from the other side of the screen.

"Yeah, that was some nice work you did on my boat" Topper spits at the Heyward boy.

"I don't know what you mean" Pope shrugs.

"Sure" Topper scoffs.

"Not so burly without a gun now, are you?" Rafe comments.

"Take one more step, I'll rip that prepubescent face off" JJ threatens and my grip on his arm tightens.

"I'm not sure your little girlfriend likes that idea, Maybank" Kelce chimes in.

"You feel good, stealing shit?" Topper asks Pope "Is your mom proud of you? Is your dad?"

Pope abruptly slams his head into Topper's face and I gasp in surprise, covering my mouth.

"Whoo!" Rafe whoops with a sick smile on his face.

"Attaboy!" JJ hollers "Now with your fist, like this, okay?"

JJ throws his fist at Kelce, who recovers quickly and bulldozes into the blonde Pogue.

"Come on, Pogue!" Kelce barks.

"Let's go!" JJ growls.

I watch in awe as JJ socks Kelce in the face twice and Pope punches Topper, making the blonde Kook stumble backwards. Rafe grabs JJ and throws him at Kelce who holds him back.

"Hold him still, man!" Rafe demands.

"Bring it!" Kelce replies.

Rafe throws his fist into JJ's stomach and the Maybank boy groans in pain, doubling over in Kelce's hold.

"Hey, kick his ass, Top!" Rafe hollers to Topper and socks JJ in the face.

"Come on, Rafe!" JJ yells and I snap out of my daze "That all you got?!"

"Hey, Rafe!" I scream.

My brother turns to me in irritation and I slam my fist into his face without hesitation.

"Whoo! That's my angel!" JJ laughs before he's socked in the face by Kelce and I grimace.

"Let go of him, Topper! Fascist asshole!" Kiara screams, running over and smacking Topper with the backpack.

Due to my lack of concentration, I'm shoved harshly and I hit the ground with a thud.

"Sit, runt!" Rafe laughs and I glare at him in rage.

He turns to continue hitting JJ and I grab his ankle, yanking it backwards as hard as I can. My brother tumbles to the ground and I throw myself on top of him, socking him in the face as many times as I can.

"I'm so fucking sick of you treating me like a dog! I'm done being the family bitch! You hear me, Rafe? I'm done!" I growl, grabbing his head and hitting it off the ground.

He dizzily blinks a few times before letting out an angry scream and flipping us over. His hands roughly grab my face and he glares down at me in rage. He spits blood onto the grass and proceeds to send a harsh slap to my face.

"You're done when I say you're done, runt" He declares, slamming my head down onto the grass.

My vision spins violently and I feel nauseous but I push it down, watching weakly as Rafe gets off of me and rips Kiara off Topper.

"Oh, let go of me, Rafe!" She screams.

"Stay out of this, Kiara!" Rafe snaps at her, throwing her to the ground.

"Kie!" I gasp, scrambling to my feet.

"Come on, man. Just admit it! Admit you did it, bitch!" Topper shouts at Pope as he strangles him.

JJ struggles to hold himself up as Rafe and Kelce lay into him once again, making me feel sick to my stomach.

The backpack catches my eye and I dive over to it, reaching in to feel the cool metal of the gun. Before I can think rationally about the situation, I grab it and jump up, pointing it at Rafe.

"Hey, Rafe!" I bark once again.

Kelce and Rafe both freeze at the sight of the gun and JJ looks up at me in surprise.

"Let him go" I demand and Rafe tries to laugh off his obvious fear.

"You won't shoot me" Rafe states.

"What makes you think that?" I ask seriously, clicking off the safety.

"I'm your brother, Sylvie" He says, taking a step closer to me.

"No, Rafe. You're already dead to me" I declare and he visibly pales.

Before any of us can make another move, the screen abruptly bursts into flames and everyone jumps into a panicked state.

"Guys! Fire!" Rafe shouts and I slowly lower the gun to my side, staring at the flames in disbelief.

"Get off of him!" Kiara snaps at Topper.

"Kelce, let go of JJ!" She screams.

"Let's get out of here! Let's go!" Rafe orders.

I feel a hand gently take the gun from my own and I turn my head to see JJ staring at me softly. Tears well up in my eyes and he wraps me in his arms.

"It's okay. We're okay" He assures me, rubbing my back as I cling onto him in pure shock.

"I wanted to kill him, JJ. I almost shot him" I breathe out.

"I know, but you didn't, and that's what matters" He whispers, kissing my head.

"You're a freaking idiot" I hear Pope chuckle.

"I saved your ass. Come on" Kiara replies.

I pull away from JJ and take a deep breath. He shoves the gun in his backpack and laces his fingers with mine as we follow Kiara and Pope.

"Holy shit, Sylvie! When you took that safety off I think I peed a little" Kiara laughs.

"I think I peed a little" I admit, giggling.

"Hey, do you want me to walk you home?" Pope asks Kiara.

"Yeah, thanks" She smiles, turning to me and JJ "See you two later"

"Later, Kie" We say in unison.

Pope waves at us and we wave back, watching as they walk away.

"Chateau?" JJ asks.

"Chateau" I confirm.

"M'lady" JJ smirks, holding out his hand.

"Good sir" I reply, lacing my fingers with his.

He takes off running and I laugh loudly, running as fast as I can to keep up with him.

We eventually reach the Chateau porch and JJ grabs my waist, lifting me up and spinning me around. I giggle, wrapping my arms around his neck as he puts me down.

"Ask me again" I whisper and he perks up.

"Will you be my girlfriend, angel?" He smiles hopefully and I grin widely.

"Yes" I answer, nodding repeatedly.

He smashes his lips onto mine and I smile into the kiss.

"Don't let it get in your head. Three of them and two of us. That's some typical Kook shit right there" JJ tells Pope as he messes around with an orange.

Pope, JJ, Kiara and I are all currently in Heyward's, helping out since we fucked up with the deliveries.

"Hell yeah" Kiara agrees with JJ.

"What was your thought process, using your head?" JJ asks.

"I don't know, man. I just kind of acted off instinct, all right? I was a cornered animal" Pope answers.

"Hey, Pope! Someone here to see you" Heyward states and I look up to see Deputy Shoupe.

"Evening, Officer" Pope greets him nervously.

"I have an arrest warrant for felony destruction of property" Shoupe declares and Pope looks at JJ and I in fear.

"What?" Heyward snaps in confusion.

"Keep your hands on the counter where I can see em" Shoupe demands.

"Young lady, get out of my way" He adds, turning to Kiara.

"Whoa. Shoupe, what'd he do? Huh?" Heyward asks.

"Look at the warrant" Shoupe answers, handcuffing Pope.

"You're arresting him?" Kiara says in disbelief.

"He didn't do anything!" I speak up and JJ pulls me back.

"You're just arresting my boy?" Heyward questions the officer.

"Dude, be careful!" Kiara snaps as Shoupe yanks Pope back.

"You're gonna hurt him, asshole!" I yell.

"Shoupe, are you listening?" Heyward barks.

"Anything you say can and will be held against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney-" Shoupe starts.

"How much did they pay you, man?!" JJ hollers.

Shoupe pushes Pope to the door and we all follow, shouting in disbelief at the officer who refuses to listen to us. JJ jumps forward and Heyward holds him back as Kiara and I continue to yell at Shoupe.

"Don't be fucking stupid!" I shriek.

"She's right, Shoupe. My boy didn't do shit!" Heyward defends his son.

"Let him go!" Kiara snaps.

"It wasn't him! It was me!" I hear JJ scream and my heart stops as I turn to the guilty looking boy.

"JJ, no" I gasp, running towards him but he pushes me away.

"He tried to talk me out of it, but I was mad because him and Sylvie had just been beaten up. I was so sick of those assholes from Figure Eight that I lost my shit" JJ tells Shoupe and tears well up in my eyes as Kiara wraps her arms around me.

"I can't let you take the blame for somethin I did. You've got too much to lose" JJ says to Pope.

"JJ, what are you doing?" Pope asks in disbelief.

"I'm tellin the truth. For once in my goddamn life, I'm gonna tell the truth" JJ replies, looking at Shoupe "I took his old man's boat too"

"What the hell?" Heyward says to the blonde.

"JJ, come on" Pope tries to argue.

"Just shut up, Pope. Just shut up!" JJ shouts at the boy.

"He's a good kid. You know where I'm from" JJ then tells Shoupe and I take in a sharp breath.

"Yeah" Shoupe says with a nod.

"This was all me" JJ nods.

"That's the whole truth?" Shoupe asks Pope.

"Whole truth, swear to God" JJ butts in.

"I know what you think, damn it, I'm asking Pope!" Shoupe snaps at JJ.

There's a short silence and I hold my breath, waiting for Pope to speak.

"Yeah, that about covers it" He sighs, nodding softly.

Shoupe takes the handcuffs off Pope and puts them onto JJ before pushing him towards the truck.

"Shoupe, wait!" I scream and the man turns to me "I helped. I did it too"

"Kid, I don't have time for this-" I cut him off.

"Topper Thornton's boat, right? I pulled the plug and we watched it sink" I speak confidently and JJ shoots a glare at me.

The Deputy pushes JJ into the truck before walking over to me and grabbing me roughly.

"Hey, watch it!" Kiara barks as he handcuffs me.

"Hey, Shoupe?" I grin as we walk to the truck "I call shotgun"

He shakes his head at me and pushes me into the back next to JJ.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" The blonde hisses as Shoupe rounds the truck.

"You're not going down for this alone" I snap at him.

Before he can argue further, Shoupe gets into the driver seat and I sit up straighter.

"I'm 100% sure that I called shotgun, Deputy, so I don't understand why you've shoved me in the back" I speak up and Shoupe looks at me in the mirror.

"You're being arrested, Sylvie" He says as if i'm stupid.

"Yeah, I realise that I'm being arrested, but the rules of shotgun are pretty clear, man" I tell him matter of factly and he rolls his eyes.

"Shut up, will ya?" He huffs.

"Rude" I grumble, sitting back.
