/17/ The runaway

"Then we take the pogue."
JJ said simply.

The four Pogues were now right in front of the Cameron's yacht, thinking of what to do.

"So what now? We just go up to the front door and ask "hey, have you seen John B?"
JJ said sighing.

"Look, he lives at tanyhill now, it's plausible. We can play dumb."
Kiara replied.

"Play dumb?"
JJ scoffed.

"It's pretty late."
Pope commented.

"Look, I've never seen John B like that, we should honestly be going to the cops."
Kiara said, unsure of what John B might do.

"The cops?!"
Isla asked confused, she thought the cops were never an option for them.

"Yeah and say what Kie? 'We're worried about our friend because he's on rampage because Ward Cameron killed big John?' Like, they're not gonna believe us!"
JJ said to Kie, not agreeing with her plan.

"Hey, I see Ward."
Pope said while looking trough a spyglass.

"Well, that means he's still alive, we're good."
Isla sighed.

"Let me see."
Kiara asked, taking the spyglass from Pope.

"Doesn't look dead to me, let's go home."
Pope said shrugging.

"What?"
Kiara asked in disbelief.

"Uh, okay obviously mr. Cameron is fine, and even if John B was here, he isn't now, okay? Plus, I have the biggest, most important moment of my life in six hours"
Pope explained.

"Yeah, well, our friend is in trouble."
Kiara said, not wanting to let this go so quickly.

"I'm in trouble."
Pope muttered, noticing he said the wrong things.

"Guys, I haven't been home in three days, my dad's probably put all my shit on the street by now."
Pope sighed.

"Okay, so that's it?"
Kie asked angrily.
"In a time of need, you're just gonna bail? You're gonna walk away?"

"Guys let's not do this right now alright, let's just find John B."
Isla said, but she got ignored.

"Hey, I have a scholarship interview in the morning. I can't"
Pope said, getting interrupted by Kiara.

"Okay well, what about John B?!"
She asked.

"Why is it always about John B?"
Pope said now angry as well, giving Isla another reason to think he's in love with Kie.

JJ and Isla just sat down on the edge of the boat, sighing while looking at the scene in front of them.

"It's not always about John B, you're so stupid it would be any of you in this situation."
Kiara said pointing at Isla and JJ.

"Oh, bullshit!"
Pope yelled.

"Guys!"
JJ said trying to stop their arguing.

"This is about friendship!"
Kie yelled.

"Bring it down."
JJ tried to calm them, failing miserably.

"Look, this is about pogues for life!"
Kie yelled, looking at all of her friends that stood on the boat.

"What about forensic pathology, huh?"
Pope asked.

"Forensic pathology?!"
Kie repreated.

"It's my life! Everything I've worked for!"
Pope yelled.

The two kept yelling back and forth to eacht other, Isla looked at JJ and he nodded at her, knowing exactly what she was thinking.

"Where were you when Big John went missing? You weren't there. You weren't there for John B, you weren't there for any of us! Even Isla was, after only 2 months of being a pogue! But you, you were no where to be seen. Remember your kook year?"
Isla heard Pope say, knowing this wasn't gonna end up well.

"Dude."
JJ warned him, knowing this would trigger Kiara.

"Yeah, you forgot about us, now you feel guilty."
Pope said.

"Give me a break"
Kie said as she pushed Pope away angrily.

"Hey Hey Hey!"
JJ said, He ran over to them and pushed them apart.

"Cut it out, alright? If I'm the one mediating, we've hit rock bottom."
He stated.

"Bow, now."
JJ ordered to Pope.

"Pope I'll drop you off."
JJ said and started the boat.

"You alright?"
Isla asked Kiara who was now seated down next to her.

Kie just nodded, but Isla saw the tears form in her eyes.

"I'll leave you alone, but you know you can talk to me right?"
Isla told her kindly, rubbing the girl's shoulder. Kie nodded again and Isla just smiled at her, walking towards JJ who was driving the boat.

Isla let out a big sigh, JJ looked at her and placed his hand on her waist while the other was on the wheel. They hated it when their friends were fighting.
