The sun has now gone down and I'm sat next to the fire with my friends who are all chatting away. I leave my seat in between Sarah and Topper to go get another drink, walking up to the keg where a familiar looking blonde boy is standing.

"Can I get you something, princess?" He asks in a flirty tone.

"A beer. If that's okay" I answer sheepishly.

"Perfectly okay" He assures me, grabbing a cup and filling it up for me.

"Thank you" I smile gratefully as he hands me the cup.

"I'm JJ Maybank" He introduces himself.

"My name's Allison Blake" I reply and his eyes widen.

"You used to be friends with Kie" He states in realisation and I remember where I've seen him before.

"You're friends with Kiara" I counter and he nods.

"She didn't tell me that you're insanely beautiful" He says with a grin and I feel my cheeks heat up at the compliment, not used to the attention.

"You're beautiful too- I mean, handsome" I say awkwardly and he laughs, his smile the kind that could light up a whole room.

"You are an awkward little thing, aren't ya?" He teases me.

"I can't help it. People make me nervous" I admit.

"You know, you're not half bad for a Kook" He tells me.

"Thanks? I guess" I giggle "You're not half bad for a Pogue"

He smiles widely, trying to smoothly lean on the keg but he miscalculates how far away it is, his elbow missing the keg completely and his body sprawling onto the sand. I let out a loud laugh, covering my mouth as giggles escape my lips and I place my cup on the top of the keg.

"Need a hand?" I ask in amusement, holding out my hand to the blonde boy.

"Thank you, princess" He replies, grabbing my hand.

I tug on his hand but he tugs harder, my body stumbling forward and landing on top of him. He lets out a howl of laughter as I gasp, tugging the skirt of my dress down to cover my ass.

"You're an asshole" I laugh, pushing myself off him.

"You're adorable" JJ counters and I roll my eyes with a smile.

We both pull ourselves to our feet and someone approaches us.

"Seriously, JJ?" Kiara says in a scolding tone.

"What?" He retorts in confusion.

"Idiot" She mutters, grabbing his arm and dragging him away from me.

I frown softly as they walk away, but JJ turns around and winks at me, making me smile.

My arm is abruptly grabbed and I'm roughly dragged away from where I was stood, making me yelp in fright.

"We're leaving right now" Rafe snaps as he pulls me along "And I don't want you hanging out with Pogues ever again"

"Rafe, I don't wanna go. It's still early" I whine, pulling out of his grip and he spins around to face me.

"What the hell are you doing talking to trash anyways? I mean, JJ fucking Maybank?" Rafe scoffs in disgust.

"He was nice to me" I frown sadly.

"He just wanted in your pants, Alli. Don't be naive" Rafe spits in anger.

"Is it so hard to believe that someone might just want to be my friend?" I ask, my bottom lip quivering before I can stop it.

Rafe grabs my face in his hand and squishes my cheeks roughly, causing me to hold my breath.

"Don't you dare cry and cause a fucking scene, Allison" He grits out "Understood?"

I nod quickly and he lets me go, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Can we at least get Sarah and Topper?" I ask quietly.

"Sure" Rafe shrugs in disinterest.

I reach out and grab my boyfriend's hand, hoping that it will make him less angry but he scoffs and snatches his hand away from me. He storms off in search of our friends and I follow behind him, fighting off pathetic tears.

We find the couple and Sarah grins widely, throwing her arms around me. The girl pauses, looking at my face with a small frown and I can't even will myself to pull a fake smile for her sake.

"What's wrong, tink?" She pouts.

"I want to go" I tell her, glancing at a seething Rafe.

"We can do that" She assures me, grabbing my hand.

The four of us make our way through the crowd and a blonde mop of hair bounds up to us.

"Allison! Allison! Can I interest you in a tasty Milwaukee beverage?" JJ smirks, holding out a cup.

"She doesn't want it, Maybank" Rafe spits before I can reply, making me frown.

"Why don't you let her answer me?" JJ challenges.

"JJ, I can't. We were just leaving" I say, hoping he won't push the subject further.

"Come on, princess" JJ grins smugly, knowing he's annoying the Rafe and Topper but not understanding that this will probably get me in trouble later on.

"Hey, you know what? I'll take it" Topper offers "Thank you, man. I appreciate it"

"That's nice, but I didn't ask you" JJ retorts and I squeeze Sarah's hand in worry "If you said pretty please, maybe, but you didn't"

"Oh, pretty please?" Topper replies sarcastically.

"Allison. You can have it" JJ declares, holding the cup to me.

I reach out to take it but Rafe grabs my wrist and Topper pushes the drink, spilling it all over JJ.

"She doesn't want it" Topper snaps and JJ tries to lunge at the Thornton boy but his friend, who I'm sure is called John B, pulls him back.

"No, no, no, no" John B warns the blonde.

"You're so funny, man!" JJ shouts sarcastically as his other friend, Pope I think, helps John B calm him down.

"Dirty Pogues!" Topper spits in disgust.

Sarah pulls me back towards her as John B suddenly shoves Topper back.

"Oh!" Sarah yells and my eyes widen in fright.

"John B! We're supposed to be incognito, remember?" Pope says, grabbing the angry brunette back.

"Babe, babe, babe, babe" Sarah says trying to calm Topper down but he ignores her, throwing a punch at John B's face.

I gasp, covering my mouth as John B falls to his hands and knees. Pope holds back a struggling JJ as Sarah frantically yells.

"Guys! Guys, chill!" Sarah panics as Topper kicks John B in the ribs making him fall onto his back into the water.

"Hey, John B, don't make me drown you like your old man, all right?" Topper sneers.

John B tackles Topper into the water and I grab Sarah's arm with both hands, anxiety coursing through my body as everyone starts chanting the word 'fight'.

"John B, let it go!" Pope shouts.

"Stop, you guys!" Kiara screams.

"Topper, stop!" Sarah shrieks as both boys throw punches at each other from left and right.

"That's enough, Topper!" I plead.

John B socks Topper in the face and he stumbles back.

"That's what I'm talkin' about!" JJ hollers.

"Come on!" John B barks.

"You wanna go?" Topper retorts before punching John B in the head.

"Stop!" I scream.

"John B!" Kiara cries.

John B manages to throw Topper into the water and the boy drags himself to his feet.

"Come on, Topper! Let's go!" John B screams.

They throw more punches before Topper punches John B in the face.

"Come on, man!" Topper yells.

Topper tackles John B into the water and starts holding his head underwater.

"Topper! Topper, stop! No!" Sarah screams.

"Topper, let him go!" I shout frantically "Stop it! Please!"

"No!" Pope yells.

"He's drowning him!" Kiara cries.

"Topper!" Sarah shouts.

Suddenly JJ darts out and my eyes almost pop out my head when he pulls a gun on Topper, pressing the barrel to the boy's head.

"Yeah, you know what that is! Your move, broski!" He declares.

"Come on! Chill, dude!" Kiara pleads as everyone starts screaming and running away.

"JJ! Stop!" Sarah barks at him.

"Chill!" Pope shouts.

"Put the gun down, JJ!" I shriek.

"Did you say somethin, princess?" JJ hollers at me.

"We're good! We're good!" Topper panics.

"Put the gun down!" Sarah repeats.

"We're good! All right, man?!" Topper begs as John B sits up on his knees.

"Kie! Can you check your psycho friend, please?!" Sarah shrieks at the girl.

"Sarah, stop it" I warn her, pulling her away from Kiara.

"Okay, everybody, listen up! Get the hell off our side of the island!" JJ screams before letting off two gunshots that make me scream.

"Move, now!" Topper yells, grabbing Sarah and I.

The two of us are dragged to the car by Topper and we find Rafe leaning against the hood on his phone.

"What happened?" He asks, pocketing the device.

"It was crazy, man. Those Pogues are insane" Topper spits as we climb into the car.

"Why'd you leave?" I ask my boyfriend in confusion.

"I had to take a call" He shrugs.
