"No effing way!" Kiara said as she walked onto the deck looking at Sarah who was sitting on the couch with the others. "You brought her here? So what? She's in on this now?"

"I dunno." Pope mumbled when John B looked at him for help.

"Look, all I care about is her cut comes out of your share." JJ said.

"You know, I don't remember taking a vote." Kiara said. "This is our thing. A Pogue thing."

"I gotta say, I'm just a tad uncomfortable with all of this." Pope replied.

"Thank you!" Kiara said.

"When are you not?" John B replied.

"I don't know, I rode here on the back of JJs bike pretty comfortably." Pope replied.

"It's true. Most relaxed I've ever seen him." JJ said.

"It is a pretty comfy seat." Brielle spoke up.

"That's cute, guys." John B replied annoyed.

"We were all extremely comfortable until you brought her." Kiara said.

"Well-" Brielle said but Pope covered her mouth.

"Don't piss her off more and start WWIII." Pope whispered.

"Stop talking about me like I'm not here!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Then leave." Kiara shot back.

"I told you." Sarah scoffed looking at John B.

"Told him what, exactly?" Kiara asked. "That you're a liar-"

"No, that you're a shit talking bitch." Sarah shot back.

"Oh, shit." Brielle chuckled.

"My moneys on Kie." JJ said pulling out money.
"Same." Pope replied pulling out money.
"You can't bet on the same person." Brielle replied.
"Well then bet on Sarah so we'll win." Pope replied.
"No, fuck that." Brielle said.

"Everybody shut up!" John B yelled overlapping the two girls yelling and the three Pogues talking. "Kie, you are my best friend, right?"

Kiara just stared at him in annoyance.

"And Sarah, you're...." John B trailed. "you're my...."

"Say it." Sarah said softly.

"You're my girlfriend." John B replied.

"Ohh...that's new." Pope whispered to Brielle and JJ.

"#Jarah." Brielle replied whispering.

"She's your girlfriend now?" Kiara scoffed. "What was all that talk about you were just using her for information? Get a map, cut her loose."

"You said you were using me?" Sarah asked.

"No." John B replied.

"Yes, you did." Brielle replied.
"Yeah, you did." Pope replied.
"You said those things." JJ replied.

"Look, love just walked in, okay?" John B said defensively, and Brielle held in a laugh.

"Oh, vomit." Kiara mumbled.

"I didn't expect it." John B continued. "It just-it kind of happened. And I'm not gonna deny it. Right?"

"Oh, that's corny." Pope whispered.
"I know right? Like what is this, Twilight?" Brielle whispered back.
"I'll be Edward and you be Bella?" JJ whispered.
"Nope, Jasper and Alice." Brielle whispered back.

"Look, cut the bullshit, John B." Kiara said looking back at him. "If she's in, I'm out."

"I'm not doing this." John B replied.
