Chapter 4 - Masterlist - Series Masterlist - Chapter 6

"Rafe Cameron! Where the hell are you?" You shout out in the woods around the treehouse. You left not too long after JJ was arrested looking for a confrontation with the eldest Cameron sibling, the cause of JJ's arrest. You knew the best way to get to Rafe was to actually talk to him courteously in hopes that if you extend your friendship (cause apparently he cares) then he'd leave your friends alone.

"What up, Angel," He raises an arm in the air, you see it peeking up from above the wooden railing.

You climb up the ladder, "Don't what up, Angel, me! You know what you did!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about Y/N," He admits.

"Really, cause JJ just got arrested!" You stand over Rafe who's sitting with his knees up.

"Ah, that's what you're upset about, your little pogue boyfriend going to jail for committing a crime." He laughs, "Sounds about right to me."

"He's not my boyfriend but yes he's in jail right now because of you and your little friends and in case you forgot I'm a pogue too, you using that as an insult doesn't really affect me."

"So what you're saying is your single?" He gets up to face you and smirks.

"What?" Your mind scrambles at his words and the way he looked at you amusingly.

"And trust me I didn't forget pogue princess, that's what they call you right?" He spits out the words as if they disgust him.

"You're an ass," You scoff. He glares at you, "Then why do you keep coming back?"

Besides the fact that for some reason he likes your company and if you can somehow convince him to leave you and your friends alone, you wouldn't admit that you took an interest in him. That would start too many problems, problems you didn't need nor want to have because despite your interest he was not a good person. You think...

"I keep coming back because I know you can do better, be better, you proved it to me the other day. Yet, you continue to be in this cycle of terrorizing my friends which isn't gonna help any of us," You soften your features.

"I'm not going to change," He shakes his head, walking away from you. Ugh, why does he make this so difficult.

"Then I guess we're done here," You climb down the ladder.

"No, we're not," He shakes his head again. What is he talking about? "Yes, Rafe, we are."

You land your feet on the ground, "No, you're going to come back to me, Angel, Just like you always have." He's delusional, a deeper part of you responds to your thoughts, you know he's not.

"Goodbye asshole!" As you walk away he shouts, "What happened to being civil?"

Kie was expecting you at her house for Midsummers. You didn't have to work as a server this year, thankfully, and she invited you to be her plus one. You were her "saving grace in a party full of fascists who don't deserve their wealth", in all honesty, you didn't want to mingle around the people who practically pay your bills, but you used it as an excuse to dress up for once and not look like the trash most of them think you are.

She opens the door with one knock as if she was anxiously waiting for you to show up. Kie takes you up to her room, designed in her style with posters on the side of her bed, a surfboard at the end of it, her room had her simplicity with earth-inspired colors.

"Uh, Kie?" She sits on her bed next to you.

"What's up?"

"I don't have a nice enough dress," You trail off.

"Don't worry about it, I'm sure my mom will find some ridiculous dress to put you in."

You fix her a face that said really? "I didn't mean that you would look ridiculous in it, I meant the concept of having to dress up to show off that we spend our money on something as insignificant as our beauty when our planet is dying."

She takes in a breath, you put a hand on her shoulder "It's just a dress."

She squinted at you, "I'm kidding! Lighten up, that's what I'm here for." You stand theatrically pose, "Maybe, I can see what being a kook is all about."

"Don't even get me started," She mutters.

"Trust me, I won't, but come on it'll be fun. We can play this game me and JJ like to play." You suggest.

~~~

Hours into the process of getting ready, you never felt as pretty or good as you did at this moment. Kie's mom helped you through everything from your hair to your dress to how you should do your makeup. It was tedious and time-consuming but it all came together when you looked in the mirror and finally understood why it took some girls forever to get ready. You didn't have a mom growing up to show you how to do any of this, it made you recognize the feelings you shoved down deep about mother figures. You only ever had John B and your dad, the only other girl around your life was Kie and she didn't care about all that stuff. Now you realized you missed out on a lot.

You smiled at your appearance while you hear Kie complain to her mom after taking her turn in to look at herself in the mirror, "This is disgusting."

"I know, it's just horrible," Kiara's mom says sarcastically. "I'm asking you to relax and go to a fun party."

"It's not that bad, we look hot." You admire how Kie looks with her silk lavender dress and her mixed white and purple flower crown. You wore a light blue ruffled cold shoulder A-line dress that went a little above your knee, with your hair in soft curls and makeup set to complement your features. You looked like a fairy.

"I look like a bourgeoisie pig," Her face looking entirely annoyed. You couldn't relate, as a matter of fact, you could get used to this. You shouldn't but you could. You enjoyed how you soaked in your beauty, you didn't think badly of yourself before but this was a distinct feeling that was addicting. You needed to remind yourself that pogue life was the life for you so that you wouldn't get lost in playing pretend for the night.

"Thankfully you're only half bourgeoisie pig," You joke.

"Ha, ha, very funny." She fake smiles at you.

"Will you please not worry about socioeconomic injustice for one night?" Kie's mom pleads.

"Mom, people not three miles from here have no power, no running water, and we're going to Midsummers." Kie whines, "That's so tone-deaf."

"Thanks for the hot shower by the way Mrs. Carrera," You mention quickly interrupting. She sends you a sweet smile before turning her attention back to Kiara.

"Do you know how hard we had to work to get into the island club?"

"Yeah, mom, How could I forget? you had to grovel for like, ten years."

"Twelve, and we also had to cough up a huge chunk of dough, and do you know why we did that?" Her mom was running around the room still getting ready. "So, you could have all the same experiences that I had as a child."

Her mom left the two of you with that and the wise words of putting on your party faces, specifically Kie if she wants to live.

"You can survive," You nudge her softly.

She inhales deeply, "Hopefully."

~~~

You and Kie walk around the party, everyone seeming to get along just fine, Kie would point them out and describe what she knew of their families and what they would use their money for instead of saving the environment.

You saw Heyward around who directed you to his son, You and Kie strolled up to him, she began to speak in a British accent. "Excuse me, sir, do we have to schuck these ourselves?"

You followed along, "'Cause it might mess up our costumes."

You cut back your laugh seeing him about to snap since he hasn't seen that it was you two making silly requests.

"Well?" You ask expectantly. He smiles brightly and replies back in the same accent, "We wouldn't want that now, would we?"

He greets you both with your secret handshake, "That accent was bad."

"Yeah, it was I was gonna let it go." Kie smiles, You whistle. "You ever see this many kooks in one place?"

"Yeah, last year." Pope comments, "How are you here all dressed up, Y/N?"

"Bestie here invited me, I got the night off." You glanced at Kie, "We're in the lion's den."

"Hey, have you heard from JJ?" Kie asked.

"No, He'll be alright." You reassure though you don't know if you believe what you're saying, "He's got the survival instincts of a cockroach."

"It's my fault," Pope guiltily stares off.

"You didn't do this Pope, Topper almost killed you. Remember?" Kie comforts him. The crowd surrounding all areas of the crowd clap for the Cameron family as they walk out. "Here comes Lord Capital and the Exploiters."

"Can't wait to see when Rose pokes somebody's eye out with that," You mention seeing Rose Cameron with a gold spiky flower crown at the top of her head. You watch as Rafe walks out with Sarah and you look away, avoiding eye contact in case he noticed you.

For most of the night, you stick by Kie's side steering clear of Rafe. You were sure he didn't know you were here as a guest. The house was decorated with pretty yellow fairy lights, you received flirtatious looks from Kooks your age to which you ignored not being interested. You danced to the music playing the background with a grumpy Kie and eventually, your feet began to hurt so you went to the bathroom that was connected to the locker room to give yourself a break.

After you being in there for 10 minutes a group of girls piles in to touch up their makeup, you took that as your queue to leave, smiling at them as you walk out. You straighten out your dress insecurely, bumping into a person while you weren't looking. The person did a double take calling your name, "Y/N!"

You saw a familiar blond run up to you picking you up and twirling you around, "JJ! You're out!"

"Yeah, you know me can't hold me down," He smiles brightly. "Speaking of, we gotta go."

"What happened now?" He takes your hand running with you.

"You know the usual," He runs around a corner of the house "Kooks out to get me."

He pauses, "You know what I think it's best we go our separate way."

"You make this sound like a breakup," You quip.

"With you, never." His response made your heart that was already filled with adrenaline, flutter. "I don't want you to get caught up in this."

"Alright," You press your lips to his cheek. "Stay safe."

He gives your hand a squeeze before darting off, you give him a head start before following him. For safety measures, of course. Since Midsummers was being held at the country club you work at, once you see JJ storm into the men's room you beeline into the men's locker room. If the ladies' room was full, the men's room was sure to be packed.

Hiding behind a corner, sure not to be seen when Rafe, Kelce, and others busted in searching for JJ. It was hard to maneuver around without getting seen, you could feel the stares of men but they never said anything.

"Hey, what are you doing in the locker room huh?" You could hear Rafe yelling at JJ. There was grunting and shuffling, "Hold him still, What do you think? A four iron right?" Rafe affirms his thoughts with Topper.

JJ struggles, "Very Rafe of you. Five on one?"

"If you could please stop talking, it's very disrespectful when I'm trying to hit the ball."

If there were five guys in the locker room you wouldn't be much help, they could very easily hold you back and make you watch as they beat JJ. But you didn't want to do nothing so you quietly snuck out of the room. There was security everywhere, you found the nearest one.

"Excuse me," You said shyly. "I was passing by and heard a lot of noise coming from the men's locker room."

The man had a raspy voice when saying "I'll check it out right now, Miss."

"Great, thank you." You went through the men's bathroom hiding in an open stall still being able to hear what was going on in the other room.

"Gentlemen, Is there a problem?" The security guy with a raspy voice comes in.

"Pardon me, officer." JJ speaks, "No, there's not an issue, actually yes. No, there is an issue, uh, we got a criminal trespass in progress here." JJ's nervous ranting almost makes this moment funny, "Beep! Call it in, right? Blatant disrespect for private property. I'm in violation of all kinds of shit sir but these young gentlemen... uh, caught me sir, and they're about to take me away and that's what you should do, escort me out of here. You Powerpuff girls have fun."

You heard the shuffling of the guy probably taking JJ away when Rafe exclaimed, "Tell Y/N she looks pretty hot for a Pogue."

There were loud footsteps, running, "Hey, come here, let's go." You winced, you knew JJ wasn't gonna like Rafe saying shit like that about you.

"Safe travels back to the cut!"

The door closed and you were sure to exit the stall, this time making yourself known. "Rafe, seriously?" With a disappointed look, you walk out the same door JJ was taken through.

You go outside back to the party settling yourself next to Kie who stood there in shock, "JJ's back?"

"Yep," You popped the 'p'. JJ was causing a scene as the guy was forcibly dragging him out.

"I'm gonna say something," Kie steps forwards. "Let go of him, you can't boot him!"

Kie's parents attempt to get her to stop, "I invited him here, I'm a member of this club."

JJ shoves the security guy away, "Hey, mandatory power hour at Rixon's, Kie. Pope you as well, alright." He walks backward, "Y/N, come on let's go!"

"Already going!" You jog down the same way JJ was heading, giving one that look to Kie telling her fuck it. "John B!" You get excited seeing your brother jumping into a hug, "Where the hell have you been?"

You ignore the jealousy you feel when you see JJ twirl Kie around the same way he did to you earlier. Too caught up in the rush, you soak in the feeling of everyone being together again.

~~~

The pogues all sit together around a campfire, JJ and John B built. The night sky above displaying the stars.

"Alright guy my dad's already gonna kill me, so what's this mandatory meeting about?" Pop e questions.

"Might as well tell him, man, before we're gaffed." JJ and John B glance at each other.

"You ready for this?" John B disclosed, "So, the gold never went down with the royal merchant."

"Oh God, not this again." You roll your eyes.

"It's been here the whole time, it's on the island." Your brother announced, it felt like he was telling a scary story and you knew it was gonna be one when you go looking for the gold again.

"I'd like to voice my skepticism," Pope notes.

"Can I please present you with my evidence, sir?" John B stands, "In my backpack, I have a letter from Denmark Tanny."

"Who the hell is that?" Kie asks.

"Denmark Tanny was a slave that survived the royal merchant wreck," John B hands a folded paper to Kie. "Slaves weren't mentioned as crew members on the ship, but my dad found the complete manifest, that was his big discovery. So Tanny used the gold from the merchant to buy his freedom."

"After that, he bought his farm, drumroll please, because that farm is..." You and Kie tap on your thighs to create the drumroll effect. "Tannyhill Plantation, after that he used his money to free even more slaves and then he sold a shit ton of rice which pisses off all the white planters, and then they decide to lynch him. On the day they decide to get him he writes a letter to his son as a farewell, and on the last line of that letter he leaves a coded message where to find the gold."

"Where?" You inquire.

"Harvest the wheat, Parcel nine, near the water. Except there's no wheat, you see wheat is code for gold." He looks over Pope who has the copy of the letter in his hands. "The gold is in Parcel nine near the water."

"Holy shit," Pope whispers.

"All we need is an original survey map of the property and we've found the gold."

Pope still skeptical says, "This might have a small chance of actually being true."

JJ gets up and lifts John B in a hug, "I'm so proud of you right now."

"That's really sweet of you," John B touches JJ's cheek. The bromance warms your heart but you cut it asking, "What's the plan?"

"Great question so, Sarah Cameron's coming tonight, she's gonna bring an original survey map-"

You and Kie raise eyebrows at each other quizzically, "Hold up."

"Sarah? Why Sarah?" She asks.

"She got me into the archives in chapel hill yesterday, and that's where I got the letter." John B replies with a stutter.

You put the pieces together then raise your voice, "You were in Chapel Hill with Sarah Cameron?"

JJ cuts in, "He was mackin' on her." John B denies it, but JJ continues "You were totally macking Sarah Cameron."

"I wasn't macking on her, I was using her for access."

"There was access, all right," JJ teases. You were upset, he leaves you alone to deal with the anxiety of DCS to go on a romantic getaway with Sarah Cameron. The same girl who got him fired.

"Did you tell her about the treasure?" Kie questions, equally as upset.

"I was just trying to get into the archives," John B defend.

"Is that a yes?" She exclaims.

"I left out key details."

"Yo, what?" You and Kie gang up on him, "You let a kook in our secret, what about Pogue life? What about the T-shirt company, bro?"

"I was just using her for information," John B insists.

"Why don't I believe you?" You announce annoyed.

"I'm trying to make us filthy rich here, okay, so that we can pay off a boat or send you to autopsy school to study dead bodies-" He mentions to Pope, "look you guys know me, do I look like the type of person to fall for Sarah Cameron?"

Knowing your brother, yes, which enraged you even more. "Given the chance, John B, yes!" You voice.

"Look, you don't know her yet, I do!" Kie asserts, "You can't trust her."

"Her bother did hit me in the back with a golf club," Pope brings up.

"Rafe and Sarah are two different human beings," John B continues to defend her.

"What did she do to you, exactly?" JJ looks at Kie.

"She's like a spitting cobra, first she blinds you, and then-" Pope remarks on her bad analogy, "Listen to me, whatever we get she's gonna try to take."

You understood Kie's point of view, not having a high opinion of the girl yourself. You were acquaintances while growing up but maturing and understanding the sides of how things are made you realize a lot. You struggled a lot with jealousy and resentment, her having everything and being loved by everyone, when your dad died that hit hard but she still had hers, etc. now you didn't care for her. Especially now when she got John B fired for the scuba gear, it didn't matter if she meant to or not, you had to struggle to get where you need and she wouldn’t get anything about that.

Then there was the drama with Kie and she had always been there for you, the both of you being the only girls, you had to look out for each other when it came to life or drama. The boys being nonchalant about everything didn't help.

John B managed to get you and Kiara to follow along with JJ and Pope to his and Sarah's meeting spot. When the door to the back of the twinkie opened you were surprised to see that it was around the treehouse that you and Rafe had your encounters. It made you antsy.

JJ and Pope were ready to go on an adventure but John B said that he was gonna do this on his own, that worried you knowing he could be a complete simp and could cower down to Sarah. He left you four in the van after a small discussion on his motives then he went.

It was partly fine with you because you didn't want to be seen in this area again. The boys were laughing about John B and Sarah being alone while you and Kiara were sitting there irritated at John B including her. Thunder rumbled in the background, it was fitting to your mood.

"Kiara, holding onto your grudge is like drinking poison and thinking Sarah will die," Pope explained.

"If only," You muttered. "Did you guys forget what she did to John B?"

"That wasn't even her," JJ stated. You rolled your eyes, "I don't care, she could've been lying to lure John B in or something."

"That's a stretch," Pope disagreed.

"Wait, do you guys hear that?" Kie said. The sound of Sarah screaming for help was heard, you all piled out of the car running in the direction of her shouting.

John B was on the ground, Sarah clutching his shirt half on top of him. "I don't know what to do, he needs help. Topper shoved him." She was hysterically crying.

You knelt down next to your brother concerned, you cried "John B please."

"John B stay with me, please don't leave me," Sarah begged. Your bitterness toward the girl increased, he was your brother, she would be fine but she continued to cry over him even kissed him when he promised Kie in the van that there was nothing going on between them. You wouldn't know what to do without him, you would be left all alone and she had the audacity to beg him to stay with her.

You stayed by his side when he was in the hospital, Sarah insisting she be there as well. You didn't speak to her not once, not even to ask for the full details, though she still explained everything that happened to you. She sat on the edge of the bed holding his hand, you sat on the chair next to him.

"Hi," She smiled softly at him. He was awake.

"Hi, where am I?" You got out of your chair to sit next to him on the side of his cast.

"St. Olive, you fell from the hawk's nest." You answered. "You have a concussion and a broken wrist."

JB lifts the arm with his cast, "Whoa."

"Pretty cool, huh?" Sarah spoke.

"He could've died, but yeah I guess that's pretty cool," You glared at the dirty blonde girl.

"I need to get out of here, DCS is gonna find me." He moves to get up. Ward Cameron walks into the room, "Hang on, Sarah told me everything." Sounds like her.

"About your little adventure, about you running from DCS, about how you were protecting her in the tower." What landed him in the hospital and what would get you both caught and sent to the mainland but go on. "John I believe I owe you an apology, you were honest with me and a small indiscretion and I went ahead and fired you anyway. I shouldn't have, Unfortunately from time to time I have a bit of a short fuse." Ward exhaled, "I'd like to make up for it if you'll let me."

You eyed the head of the Cameron household, He continued "I spoke to Sheriff Peterkin, I offered to be your legal guardian both of yours if you'll have me."

Your mind was reeling, no, you'd be living in the same house as the princess next to you and her brother who for some reason you couldn't stay away from. You panicked silently pleading for John B to decline.

"It'd mean a roof over your head and no more runnin' from the DCS," JB and Sarah smiled at each other.

Then your brother did the one thing you really didn't want him to, "Sure, yeah sounds good."

"Okay then, it's settled." Ward patted John B on the shoulder, "Welcome to the family."

Fuck.

little hearts

summary: you find a notebook on the beach and cant help but look inside

warnings: none

word count: 869

a/n: also wrote this a while ago so dont judge lmao

masterlist

sarah has had a crush on you for a while and everyone knew it. even your brother jj and your friends knew it. but you? you didn't. you were oblivious to the longing looks sarah would give you whenever she sees you. you would sometimes catch her staring at you but just thought it was because she disliked you for whatever reason.

your friends tried to tell you that sarah is basically in love with you but you wouldn't believe it. that was till you found a baby blue notebook laying on the beach, the owner nowhere in sight.

you are a very curious person so you wanted to pick it up, but you didn't want to invade someones privacy.

you being you, you did it anyways.

the first few pages were notes from a history class with little drawings along the sides. you thought they were pretty cute. the drawings were mostly little smileys and flowers.

you flipped a few more pages it was mostly school notes and more little drawings till you stopped on a page filled with little hearts that had your name in them.

you did not expect that.

you stood up from the sand and ran over to john bs house because you knew your friends would be there.

when you opened the door, your friends where sitting there talking about another lead to john b's dad.

you cleared your throat to get their attention and threw the notebook on the table in front of them.

''does anyone know who this notebook belongs to?''

kie looks at you confused.

''its sarahs, why?''

you looked at the brunette in disbelief. sarah cameron liking you? yeah that's impossible. or is it?

''look through it''

kie looks at you confused once more but grabs the notebook anyways. she flips through it, stops at the page with the hearts and shows it to the boys. no one looks really surprised. jj looks at you.

''oh yeah she likes you. i thought you knew?''

you look at your brother like he grew two heads.

''no i didnt''

he laughs at your oblivion.

''well now you do. you should really return her notebook.''

you nod, agreeing with him.

''yeah i probably should. can i borrow the boat?''

john b smirks at you and nods.

- sarahs house -

as you neared sarahs house you grew nervous, thousands of whats ifs running through your head. did she actually like you?

you were standing on her porch probably looking like an idiot as you started to doubt yourself. why would the blonde beauty like you? a pogue and a poor one at that. you were about to turn around and head back to the boat when the door opened.

there she was. sarah cameron a true kook princess. she looked stunning, as always. she was wearing a bikini top with a white blouse opened over it and a pair of shorts.

she looked at you with confusion, you usually never were on this side of the outer banks.

''y/n what are you doing here?''

that question caught you off guard because you were just staring at her.

you held the notebook out to her

''uh, I just wanted to return this to you, you must've dropped it on the beach for something''

sarah looks at you in shock, hoping you hadn't read it yet but by her luck you probably did. it was not like it was a big secret she liked you, basically everyone but you knew and she wanted it to keep that way.

''did you read it?''

you didn't know whether you should be honest or lie but you went with being honest because if she actually likes you, you could get together.

''yeah.. i did. I'm sorry.''

''i should be sorry. this is probably really creepy and I get if you don't feel the same way. i would probably be really creeped out by something like this aswell. we can just forget about this and-''

you interrupted the blonde with a kiss.

you were going to pull away because you didn't feel her kiss back but as you tried to she put her hand on your cheek and pulled you back into her.

the kiss was soft and delicate, merely a gentle brushing of lips but it was everything you had dreamed of. you couldn't believe it, you were kissing sarah cameron. the girl you liked for years.

when air was much needed you pulled away and she leaned her forehead on yours, eyes still closed.

''you don't know for how long i wanted to do that''

you laugh at the blonde

''i think i have a good idea of how long''

sarah and you kept staring at each other, silence engulfing you. the silence was comfortable you could feel the love radiating of the two. both waiting for the other to make the next move.

her figuring it wasn't going to be you

''would you like to go out some time?''

you smile at the girl, obviously you weren't going to say no

''i'd really like that''
