John B and I walked into the DCS office and sat down next to each other

"John, Winifred. it's come to our attention that you two are unemancipated minors living on your own. Is that correct?" Said Cheryl who worked for DCS

"No" John b and I simply answers

"No?" She said raising her eyebrows at us

I scoff and look around nervously "no"

"I need honesty to help you two" Cheryl said leaning forwards looking into our souls.

"We are being honest" John B lied

"Okay, then when is the last time you spoke to your uncle?" She said looking back and forth at us.

"Uh... 34 minutes ago" John B said looking at his wrists that had no watch on it, I let out a laugh making her look at me. I nod my head aggressively.

"When's the last time any of you saw him?" She ask. Jesus she makes me want to throw myself off a cliff with all these pointless ass questions.

"Two hours and... 43 minutes ago?" John B said as his voice gets higher. She looks at us not convinced and sighs

"we're gonna come out there tomorrow to talk to your uncle.If he's not there, we're gonna move forward with foster care.
I want to assure you, we're gonna find you a safe and loving home." She said thinking it would make us jump for joy. I look at her dead in the eyes and scoff.

"That's such bullshit we are fine th-" before I could finish , I feel John B kick me in the ankle to stop me from talking.

"Ow" I whisper to him, glaring at him.

Since there was a hurricane coming, everyone was freaking out and running around getting groceries. As we were walking back, the wind started to pick up and it started to thunder and lighting

"DCS still coming?" I ask my brother

"Nahh" he said taking out his phone

"Who are you calling"

"I'm calling DCS to reschedule" he said. He put the phone to his ear and waited for someone to answer

"DCS how may I help you today?" I hear a lady's voice coming from the phone

"Yeah I think we might have to reschedule" John B said in a innocent tone.

Once he got off the phone with DCS, John B told me that he and Pope was going somewhere and couldn't tell me where. So I walk back to the Chèatue and spent the rest of the night on the porch watching the storm until I got tired and heard John B walk through the door.

I woke up to the weight of my best friend jumping on me.

"JJ maybank, get off of me" I say in a warning tone

"Aww come on, you love me" he said. He grabbed my waste and brought me closer to him, he nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck and held me tight making me groan in annoyance. I gave in and put my arm around him and played with his hair

"Ohh that feels good" JJ groaned, I just laughed and rolled my eyes

"Dont you have a hookup in MY room" I said

"She already left" he said to casually

"Ohh" I said sarcastically

" "ohh" " JJ mocked me

"Uncle T!" Said John B looking at a photo on the wall that I put up

"Uncle T?" I said confused

"This photo, didn't know we had it" he said to me

"Oh yeah, I found it in dads room" I said going back to playing with JJs hair

"Mhmm" that's all I got in response from him.

"Go outside and see how much damage Agatha did" I say to my brother

"Why don't you just do it?" John B said with an attitude

"Because I have this snuggle bug with me, and watch the attitude smartass" I warned John B

"Your hot when your mad" I heard JJ mumble with his face still in the crook of my neck

"Mhm" I say in response

"Oh god, that is not good" I hear John B say from out side

"Shit" I groan "JJ get up, let's go see for ourself" I said trying to site up

"No" he said in a whiny voice

"JJ we will come back inside" I moaned.

"Fine" JJ said getting up and following me out the door

"Holy fucking shit" I said looking at the yard. My favorite tree was riped out of the grown

"I know" John B groan

"My tree" I said sadly.

"Agatha did some work" JJ said siping the rest of his beer

"She sure did" John B said

"It's 9 AM really?" I said to him, he walked up to me and burped into my face

"Ew, that's nasty" I said shoving his face away. John B hops onto the HMS pogue boat and started cleaning it

"What are you thinking?" JJ ask John B

"I'm thinkin' that storm surge pushed all the crabs out on the marsh maze. All those drum are gonna chase the crab" John B said throwing branches out of the boat

"What about the DCS? Wasn't that today?" JJ ask

"Nah, they're not gettin' on a ferry" I said crossing my arms

"Come on, think about it. It's God tellin' us to fish."
