After we ran away from those nuts who tried to killed as twice we kept looking for the clue that John b thought his father gave to him by the compass
"Look what do you think the message is?" Kie asked
"Redfield. Redfield light house, my dad's favourite place"
We got out of the Twinkie, looked up at the light house, John b turned to look into jay, I didn't really listen to them I just know pope jay and me at staying look out and kie and john b went to the light house
"I am going to work on my interview scholarship" pope spoke
"Would you just shut up already?" Jay teased him
"Hey are you good?" He asked me
"Yeah, yeah sure" I lied
I wanted to let him I really did, it I couldn't, I couldn't do this to him. And besides I just had a tiny panic attack its happens and it pasted.
"You sure? You seems off" he said
"Look jay, thank you for your concern but I am good okay?" I said
"I don't believe you" he said with a shrug
"You don't have to, that's the beauty in it"
"We'll I don't like this beauty" he said, we just talked for a while until we heard the police sirens and ran away
-
Me, jay and pope were waiting for John be to come to jays house, the point he said we'll meet there if we will split, so we did as he said
"Liv how are you wearing sweater it's so hot in here" jay spoke and I shrug as an answer
I could tell jay know that something is off and I hated it, I just don't want him to worry and get poisoned for caring about me
John b finally came, without kie, john b said they split when her dad came to bail her from the police station
We went to get kie
"She says she's not coming" pope said
"Why not?" Jay asked
"What'd you do to her, John b?" I asked
"Hang on. I'll deal with it" John b said
after along time of John b trying to convince kie she came. I knew something happened between those two but I waited for the right time to ask kie, me and kie been getting pretty close lately
"I know I was wrong about the lighthouse , all right? And pretty much wrong about everything but I was right about one thing, my dad is trying to tell me something." John b said while we all was in the Twinkie
We went to John bs great great mother, Olivier Redfields grave
While we were at her grave we saw snakes and j started to bark on them, I looked at him confused, gave him a glare
"Jj shut up. Shut up!" Kie said
"What the fuck?" I said
"Your gonna wake the dead, man" pope said
"They're afraid of dogs, everyone knows that, man. If there's one, there's probably dozens" j said
"Stop, you scaring me" kie said as he kept barking
"For god sakes can you shut the hell up already?" I said pissed off and he immediately stopped
"We're not gonna get in there, we should probably just leave" pope said
"I can get through." I said
"What?" John b said
"Look I wanna help, just help me move this branches" I said
"I am gonna boost you, I've seen this in a movies several time" jay said
"If I am falling I will fucking kill you" I said
"Alright, just put your foot over there" j said
As I gotten in
"Flashlight?" I asked before they hand me the flashlights
"Your alive? Do you has an heartbeat and everything" John b asked
"I think so" I said
"John b..." I said minuets later
"Did you found something?" Jay asked
"Is it gold?" I heard pope asking
"Oh my god..."
"Liv? Talk to us" John b asked asked as I passed them the package I found with the word "bird" on it
"That's not gold not gold" pope saying, disappointed
"Holy shit, this my dads" John b said as I climbed back to them and we noticed people
"Homie's got a gun" j
"Homie's doesn't seem nice" I said before we ran away and we go into the Twinkie and drove away
When we arrived at the chateau we listened to a tape recorder which big John left for John b, he said in there that he found the royal merchant and left a map with the tape recorder.
John b started to crying and I immediately went to hug him and a few seconds the rest joined to the hug as well.
-
We spend the rest of the evening together, at the doc, talking about what we are going to do when we'll find the gold. Just a couple of teens with hope they will find a treasure that thousands of people couldn't.
Well some of them believed, I was kind of sceptical, I think kie was as well, and she didn't tried to hide it
A day later We arrived at kooks hotel
"Guys are you planning on robbing the hotel or something?" I asked sarcastically
"Something like that" kie said
"We're getting on the internet because only rich people have electricity right now" jay said
"We need to look for the location on this map we found" pope said
We arrived at the hotel, we entered the room with the computer and pope started to look at the location at the map that big john left for us
"It's on the high side, it's inly 900 feet"John b said
"It's not too deep" j said
"The salvage yard, they got a drone that can drop 1,000. It has a 360 camera and everything, it's for like deep dives" jay said
"Can your dad get his grimy little hands on that?" John b asked
"Well, my dad's grimy little hands got his ass fired" jay replied
"I guess the salvage captain frowns on showing up shitfaced, turns out. But the drones there. It's in the impound yard out back" jay added
"How much did you say was in the Royal Merchant again?" Kie asked
"400 mil" jay and John b said and pope quickly got up and blocked the door, which didn't really help because jay shoved him a second later
"No guys no-" pope spoke
"Oh hell yeah" I said
"Can't we do anything legal for money?" He said as we walked out through the door
We arrive a the salvage yard and kie went to distract the guard man as me and the rest waited for the guard man to walk away with her in order for him wouldn't be able to notice us
"How's it going with kiara?" Jay asked John b
"It's not awkward, weird or anything" jb said
"Honestly I did not think you were gonna actually listen to me"
"I was 100 prevent sure she was into you, pope would agree" jay added
"Ehhh" pope disagreed
"You really have to stop talking" I said
"Maybe she's just into something else" pope said as they all gave him a glare
"Yeah, me" I said
"That would be hot" jay said as everyone glare at him
After a few minutes we didn't saw the guard man anymore, kie did pretty great and we ran to the get the drone
We didn't unlocked the door, the code that jay had was wrong, and if it got worse when we heard dogs barking
"That's a cougar. Never mind" John b
"I got a toy, boy! Wait no I was kidding. Shut! Okay! Sit!" Jay tried to distract the dog and I ran with him, we hidden in some ship to get away from the dog but he still kept barking
"Whoever up there better some down now!" I heard man yelling
"Don't make me go up there and get your ass!" The man kept yelling as jj stand up
"What are you doing?" I whispered
"Wait Bobby! Don't shoot" he said as I stand up like he did
"It's me jj. Luke's kid" he said
"What are you two doing?" The man asked
"I swear we didn't wanted to. My dad made me. He told me captain Leo kept his cutting torch. You know, after he got fired" he said, breathing shakily
"He said if I didn't get it for him, he was gonna... he was gonna hit me again" jay added. Until now I thought he was bluffing, I know jay is a good liar but that wasn't a whole lie, I saw the pain in his eyes, the pain I feel every day just thinking about Frank. My heart broke for this boy into million pieces.
"Son of a bitch!" The man said
"I am sorry" jay said
"Come on down, I almost killed you two" he said
"What is she doing here?" He pointed at me
"She just wanted to help me" jay spoked and he nod as an answer
"It's not a complete lie, isn't it?" I asked, with a shaking voice while we were ahead to the Twinkie
"I'll tell you if you'll tell me what is this bruised on your face" he said, avoiding looking at me
"Jay look it's not the same-"
"Is it?" He asked
"I just tripped!"
"Liv, you didn't had those when you were with us, you had those only after you come back from your home, and you always flinch when someones touch you, I am not stupid" he said and I stayed quite
We got to the Twinkie a few seconds after
"What happens between you two?" John b asked
"Just drive" I said and he did, we drove to the wreck, kies dad's restaurant, I spend the night sleeping at the chateau.
-
The best day me jay and pope went to help Hayward, popes dad with delivering.
We split, I wad going to deliver at the filth club with pope and jay went to another delivery, me and jay were kind of avoiding each others from last night after we talked
"Hey how much for one of those beers?" Rafe spoke, hate that guy.
"They're not for sale" pope said
"Oh, wait, wait, wait. You can just give us one then right?"
"Or you can order one like everybody else" I said
"You've got so many, girl and we've got nothing"
"They're already paid for so just back off alright?" I said before rafe broke the beers with his golf club
"What the hell?" I said
"You owe me for that" pope said as rafe punched him with the golf club
"Dude I don't ow you shut pogue" rafe said as I pushed him and he punched my back with the golf club making me fall
"Stay down bitch!" He yelled
I saw pope trying to reach me but topper holded and punched him as rafe threw another punch at me, making me bleed even more
He came down towards me "it's too bad you are fighting me instead of fucking me" he whispered to me and chuckled, I don't think anyone could hear that but it made me feel disgusted, this dude just punched me what the fuck?
Pope and Topper left, I stand up first and helped pope stand up as well
"What did rafe whispered to you?" Was the first thing he asked, I didn't wanted to talk about it, it wasn't a big deal but it made me feel disgusted
"he don't want pogues in on his side of the island" I lied
"Classic Rafe" he said as I nod
We all met again back at the boat
"Yo, what happens to your face dude?" Jay asked
"Jesus!" He added as he noticed popes face
"What happened?" Jay asked again
"Rafe and topper jumped us" pope answered
"What are you gonna do?" Jay asked
I didn't answer, pope as well.
But by looking at his eyes it's not that srs to tell his eyes were filled with anger.
We went to toppers boat
"This is a war, they hit us we hit them" jay said
Pope swum and pulled the boats valve out
"I am so proud of you right now" jay said
I stayed quite, I knew he was just angry and it may not was the best idea but I was so angry as well. Those two morons can't just beat the shit out of us and get away with it.
After pope came back we went surfing with kie and John b, we had a great time and after a few hours we all came back to the chateau
-
"Do you really think it's out there, like mo bullshit?" Pope said as we all was chilling outside talking about the Royal Merchant
"My father thought it was"
"But do you?"
"After hearing his voice in that tape... I think I do"
"Only way to find out" he said as pope and John b did the pogues handshake
"Look we gonna find it you know" kis said
"Even jay believe" I said, I've made a sarcastic shocking face
"Oh, my, god jj do you really believe?" John b said teasing him
"Totally" he answered
"I am gonna dream about shipwrecks my jay added
"Good night bird!" jay said to John b
"Good night bird shit" John b replied
We talked for a while and fell asleep like that, peacefully
-
We went for the locution big John marked on the map
"To going full kook" John h said
Me and pope was on the drones camera, waiting to see something
"Almost there" pope said when we got to 950 feet
I've heard John b shouting over jay instructions and kie shouting the high the drone made for
"Pope, liv , do you see anything?" Jb asked
"Nothing. A whole out of nothing." I said
"You should be right above it" John b said
"We're at the bottom! Steady there j" I said
"We should be seeing something" John b said
"Guys... GUYS" I said
"Oh good god" pope said
"It's the royal merchant" John b said
"Guys... it's empty" I said
"It's not there" pope said
Me and jay looked at eachothers, hopeless.
Me and him was complicated in the past few days, we weren't cold for each others, we made a jokes actually but I kind of avoided speaking to him privately, not wanting to talk to him about the thing he wants to talk about, my life.
We came back to the chateau, we all were disappointed.
Kie and pope went to their houses and me, jay and john b came back to the chateau, john b fell sleep, and me and jay were still awake
"You know we should have to talk eventually" jay spoke, breaking the silent
"We are talking" I said, trying to play dumb
"Don't play dumb, I know you've been avoiding talking about it"
Shit.
"We don't have to right now, I don't want to pressure you, but eventually" he said and I nod
"Look I am sorry for avoiding talking about this, but I will, not right now but I will I promise" i said and he nod with a soft smile
"Hoping now you won't avoid me" he said chuckling
"I apologised!" I said and he laugh at me
We talked and laugh for a while, it's felt good being only with him, it's different.
"I think I am gonna head home are you gonna be alright?" Jay asked me
"Yeah sure" i nod as he walked away, I snicked in to my house as well, Frank wasn't home and my mom didn't noticed me snicking in
Thank god.
-
We all met up in some place in the centre of the outer banks, they are having this movie night every year with pogues and kooks
"I am so glad that they're still doing this" kie said
"Keep calm, carry on, back to box life's you know? Aren't you glad I made you come?" Kie added
"Ecstatic" pope said as jay clears his throat
"My coach was pretty comfy, I'll be honest" jay said as me and kie were went to get Pepsis
"Hey uh can I get two Pepsis please?" Kie asked the vendor
"Hey kie, Olivia" we heard a familiar voice
We turned around to see Rafe fucking Cameron, the last person I want to talk about at this moment
"What's up, how are you?" Rafe asked like he didn't beat the shit out of yesterday
"I am fine" kie spoke
"Good, good..." he said
"Tell your boy that we know what he did." Rafe said, I knew exactly what he was talking about.
"Sorry, what bit are you taking about?" Kie asked
"Uh, hell know. Oh and liv?" He said, making me worried
"Don't forget our last conversation, my offer is still valid" he said as he chuckled before me and kie walked away
"Bye" rafe said
"Douche" kie replied
"Okay liv what the fuck was that?" Kie asked
"I don't know what he was stalking about" I lied
"I don't buy this Olivia"
"Just saw rafe, and he said, and I quote, "tell your boy that we know what he did"
"What is that?" Kie asked
"Where is he" jay asked
"Right there" she turned around, and pope and jay quickly turned around as well, I couldn't. I couldn't face him
"Great. the whole death squad" pope said
"Don't stare bro" jay said as he turned popes face
"What is that even mean?" Jay asked, trying to play dumb
"I don't know, ask Olivia because apparently his offer is still valid, which is also a quote" she said and they both looked at me, confused
"Huh?" Jay asked and I avoided looking at him or pope
"Founding principle, you guys, no secrets among pogues. What is rafe talking about?" Kie asked
"Yeah Olivia, what is he talking about?" Jay asked
"What did y'all do?" Kie asked and we all stayed quite
After a while of watching the movie, pope has to go to the bathroom but Topper, Rafe and Kelce blocked the bathrooms.
"Liv, come on" jay whispered and I nod
"Hey where are y'all going?" Kie asked
"We gotta wring it out" jay answered
"What are You gonna hold it for each other?" kie said as we all walk away
"Why am I am coming again?" I asked
"Rafe and Topper might know you were with us come on" jay answered
"Okay let me keep the gun while you guys peeing" I said
"Shit" jay said
"What?" Pope asked
"I forgot it." Jay said
"You had one job" I said
"I know let's just go back" jay said, trying to get back but he was stoped by the motherfucker, I quickly step back
"What's up pogues?" Rafe spoke
"What's up rafe?" Jay replied
"How you guys doing tonight, Liv?" Rafe asked, I am so tired of this man, seriously.
Topper and Kelce got in as well from the other side, blocking us
"Yeah that was a nice work you did in my boat" Topper spoke
"I don't know what you mean" pope replied
"Not so burly without a gun now, are you?" Rafe spoke
"Take one more step, I'll rip that prepubescent face off." Jay said, he looked so hot saying it.
"Are you feeling good with stealing shit pope? Does your dad proud of you? Does your dad proud of you?" Topper said before pope punched him with his head and everyone quickly started to fight, Kelce was fighting Jay, pope was fighting Topper which made me left with the mother fucker Rafe Cameron.
He punch me in my stomach, jay was trying to come help me but Kelce quickly punch him
Rafe there another punches at me until kie got involved, lighting the screen, Kelce and Topper quickly left Jay and pope, but not Rafe.
Fuck this man.
"Rafe let go of Olivia!" Kie yelled while jay was coughing before he noticed rafe hands was around my neck, chocking me.
He immediately punch topper in his stomach making him fall
"Don't you fucking touch her again you asshole" jay said as I coughed and breathing heavily
"Are you good?" Kie asked me and I nod, we all ran away from there
"What the fuck happens between you and rafe?" Jay asked
"Look I would tell you tomorrow, I promise I am too tired to talk about this okay?" I said and he nod
I walked back to my house
