Jo's POV:

"Jo you're not going" my brother snapped at me as I frantically packed clothes into a bag

"well John B, you're more than welcome to join us, but i'm going"

"Have you even thought this through? How are you going to get there? Where are you going to stay? Where are you gonna get money from?"

"Right now the only plan is to get off the island"

"What about me, what about Pope, what about Sarah?"

"John B would you relax" I snapped "we will be back in a year and a half, once we are both eighteen CPS won't be after us anymore"

"ok and what about Shoupe?"

"What about him? I didn't do anything illegal"

"yea well JJ did"

"not really"

"what he did is considered kidnapping Jo"

"i think its more of a jailbreak than a kidnapping"

"regardless Jo it was illegal"

"So what? JJ does illegal shit all the time" I said pushing past him and out of my bedroom

"You guys aren't thinking this through. Plus if JJ gets charged running from it is a felony"

"he's not running, he's....moving"

"Jo please...think this through for just a second"

"I have thought it through John B"

"You don't wanna go with CPS cause you will be away from me and the other Pogues....yet you think running to Mexico is the answer...seriously?"

"I can call you guys"

"you would be able to see us Jo if you just went with them!" He yelled

"So what? You want me to go with them?!" I yelled back

"Well it's sure as hell better than Mexico!"

"You don't get a say in this, i'm going. If you want to join us then pack a bag and meet us at JJ's" I said storming out the door

"Jo you're not thinking this through!" He yelled after me but I just kept walking

----------------------------------------------------------

"You all packed?" JJ asked as I walked up to him

"yep ready to go, so what's the plan of action?"

"ok so my dad still has the Phantom out back"

"the Phantom? really? That crusty old boat will never get us anywhere"

"don't you talk about my child like that" he gasped

"ok ok sorry"

"so I gotta run out and get some fuel to fill her up and some extra tanks as well as a couple days worth of food so we don't have to stop anywhere then we will be good to go.... wait, what language do they speak in Mexico.... Mexican?"

"I don't think Mexican is considered a language" I laughed "their main language is Spanish"

"then bon voyage" 

"....thats- thats not even the correct lang- ugh never mind" I said rolling my eyes

"so i'll be back in like an hour at most, you may wanna go clean some of the leaves off her.... she hasn't moved in a while" he said before pecking me on the lips and running off
