"Seriously though," he looked me up and down, "How did you end up here?" "Uuh, well let's just say..." tilting my head in thought I decided for the simplest answer, "I didn't like Dallas all that much. It's like every asshole holed up in there ... just a city of jerks." "Hmm," JJ nodded, "So you came here to your brother." "Yeah. I guessed it would better." "You like it here so far?" "I like the peace here." He laughed with an incredulous look, "You're in for a ride neighbour. You still haven't met anyone." "Oh really?" "This side of town belongs to the Pogues. So that makes you a Pogue." "... And what does that mean?" "It means that you'll get discriminated and ignored. Every single prick in this town will make you feel miserable." I was speechless. "You'll grow to love it eventually." "And ... you're a Pogue?" "Yup," he smiled a toothy grin, "You should meet the rest." OUTER BANKS | | JJ MAYBANKS
