"guys, I have something to tell you" I said. We were hanging out at John B's house. John B JJ, Kie and Pope looked at me, waiting to hear what I have to say. "my dad got a job in Georgia, so we're moving" I finally gave them the news. "shit" JJ said, and I looked at him with eyes wide open. "don't worry, (y\n), I'll put money in the curse jar at home" JJ joked. "when are you leaving?" Kie asked. "next week, they want my dad to start as fast as possible or they'll take someone else" I replied. John was quiet, which was unusual for him. "John? Is everything okay?" I asked, and he nodded. "yeah, just… surprised. Do you have to go?" he asked, clearly sad. "yes" I laughed, "I don't have a choice. If I could I'd never leave you guys".

I got off the boat, and for the first time in the past year, my foot has stepped on the Outer Banks docks. John, JJ and Pope were all waiting for me there, holding up a sign with my name. I recognized them easily, they've barely changed. John B got taller, and his features became sharper. He was just as beautiful, but 15-year-old me never understood she like-liked him until I got to our new house. We were all still in touch via text, voice calls and video calls, but nothing compared to seeing them in real life. JJ and Pope wrapped their arms around me, and John B hugged us all from behind. "hey, guys, where's Kie?" I asked, sad to see my best friend is not here. We break the hug and start making our way toward John's van. "she's, uh, busy" John said. "too busy to come see me?" I ask. "John B kissed her and now she feels awkward to be around him. it was my bad, I told him to" JJ explains, and John B doesn't look too happy about JJ sharing his secret. "you did what?" I say, covering up my crushed hopes by laughing. "no, I think her dad just won't let her. He paid my bail money and wants nothing more to do with me" John says.

"bail money?!" I called, "John, what the fuck? I thought JJ is the law-breaker". "it's- look, with this whole thing going on with my dad-" he started as he opened the van's door like a gentleman. We all stepped inside, and he filled me in about the watch and Redfield, how he thought it was the watchtower, but the guy refused to talk, and then he accidently hurt the guy's arm. "and then Kie and I ran, and I gave her the watch-" "and a kiss" JJ contributed. "Then they brought us to the station, her dad bailed me, she gave me back the watch and I think we might never see her again" John finished the story as he pulled up by his house, or at least so I thought. "so then i'm making my way back home, and two guys that broke into my house-" "and tried to kill us" Pope reminds John, even though I heard these two stories over the phone, "-started chasing me and wanted the watch-" he said, and a few minitus later when we finally sat down in his house, he finished the story. "-so I gave her the watch, it's the safest, and I think I have to let this whole thing go. It's a good thing you just arrived, we can move on and it's gonna be like old times". "this- this is crazy" I sigh, "I mean… wow". "so, how's your new school?" Pope asks, taking step one towards forgetting this mess.

"weird" I reply, "it's like a teen age movie, the cheerleader is dating the quarterback, the nerdy girl turned cool suddenly and starts dating the charming jock. feels like I'm in a stupid Netflix movie, but as the best friend who's only personality trait is listening to the hero's problems". JJ smirks. "are you dating anyone?" John asks. I feel the blush covering my face, even though he's just making conversation. The year of not seeing him didn't cancel my stupid crush. "I was, but we broke up" I say, without any intention to reveal the reason. "oh, sorry to hear" John says, but JJ laughs and says "no, you're not". John glares at him, so I just leave it. "guys, I think I'll go see Kie" I finally say, "this place is way too messy, plus I'm supposed to stay with her for this week". "sure, yeah" John says, "do you want a ride?". "I'm going to her area to do some deliveries for my dad" Pope says, "so you can come with, I'll drop you by her house". "yeah, thanks Pope I said, taking his offer over John's. I wanted to look and see if he looks jealous, but that's childish.

I got to Kiara's house, and Pope helped me to carry my bags to her room. We cached up in her room, but I kept feeling like something is missing. "shit, I forgot my phone at John B's" I say. "oh" Kiara says, "well, I gotta go help my dad at the restaurant, but I believe my mom can give you a ride, she has some businesses down at the docks" Kie says, and in did, 30 minutes later I'm at John's. Anna dropped me close enough, and when I came closer, I noticed John throwing things out.

"welcome back" he smiles at me, "now fucking help me". And so I did. We cleaned up the house. After a few moments, John decided to throw the board with the watch's history on it into the pile as well. When he pulled out a lighter, I was surprised, but as everything started burning, I noticed something. "John, what was engraved on the watch?" I ask. "Redfield" he replies, "but-" "no buts, look!" I say and point at the burning board. "my great-great grandma" he says, light laugh of excitement escaping his lips. "oh, (y\n), that's amazing!" he says, pulling me into a hug. "yeah, maybe you'd like to save it from burning" I laugh. "oh, yeah, right" he says, grabbing a metal stick and pulling it out of the fire.

Soon enough, we were all in The Twinkie. Well. All of us expect Kie. "I'll go talk to her" John says, and a few minutes later he comes back with her. I don't ask, because I feel like they probably talked about the kiss, and about how they're going to date behind our backs.

We arrive at the graveyard as John explains to the rest how Redfield is not a place, but a person: Olivia Redfield. "help me with the door, come on" John breaks the silence before it gets awkward. "all right" Pope says, stepping forward and I do the same. The three of us trying to posh the door, but with no success. JJ jumps in and take my place, but it makes no difference.

"this door is like 700 ponds, it's not gonna budge" Pope says, but his hands stay pushing the door. "we didn't come this far to get this far, all right?" JJ says, "we got this-" a hissing cuts him off. The boys all back off from the door in unison. "that's a moccasin-" JJ says, "ye old cottonmouth, death in tall grass" he says, and start barking. "JJ shut up" Kie says, "shut up!". "you're gonna wake the dead" Pope says as JJ finally shuts up. "they're afraid of dogs, everybody knows that" JJ says.

"yeah, cause they're bigger and noisier. You know who else is bigger and noisier?" I say, "a group of teens, that's right. If only we had one of those…" the sarcasm in my tone makes John smirk, but he quickly shakes I off and asks us to stop bickering. "wait hold on" JJ says. "what?" the three of us ask in unison – Kie, John and me. "if there's one, there are probably dozens" he says.

"cottonmouths don't form nests or colonies or whatever, they're solitary" I say, calming down the group, since JJ started "barking at the snakes" again. "now, are we breaking into this grave or what?" I ask. "we're not going to get in there, alright? It's not budging" Pope reminds us, "we should probably just go". His voice is slightly shaking, clearly filled with a bit of fear.

"I can get through" I say. "what?" John B says, and he does not sound happy. "no, no, no, no. you think you can fit through the hole? That hole?". "look, it's about your dad. That man has done so much for me back when I was still living here, plus, I can't let you live with this question following you around, I know what's that like and it's not fun" I say. Sure, my question mark is "what could have been if I told John B I like him back when I was living here?", but still. "I'll do it" I say, and with that the subject is sealed. JJ is offering his services as a ladder. "3,2,1" he counts down and I pull myself through the hole. Pope passes me the flashlight through the hole, and I finally get to look around.

"you alive? Like, you have a- a heartbeat and everything?" I hear John B asking. I smile at the worry, "yeah, so far" I reply. The flashlight is barely enough. So I ask for more light. John puts the lantern up, close to the hole and soon enough I can see clearer. The grave is muddy and covered by weeds. Not the fun kind though, the scary kind that makes you feel like a Zombie is about to jump out and eat your brain. "do you need some help? I can join" Kie offers, but I spot a white envelope. "no need" I say, "found it".

I pass John the white envelope. "To bird" I say as I'm making my way put of the grave, "that's what your dad called you, right?". "yea" John replies, a smile on his face. Before we get the chance to open the envelope, we hear footsteps, and a flashlight shines at our direction. "shit, so you think it's Harry and Marv?" I say. "who?" JJ asks, confused, as we hide between the trees and the grave. "the burglars from 'home alone' " Pope explains. "oh" JJ says, but the realization doesn't hit. "oh!" he repeats, louder, meaning he got the joke. Kie shushes him. "right, yeah, sorry" JJ says.

We end up running away and make it to John's house and the only collateral is Pope's pants. I think it's a win – at least we all have our heartbeat. JJ's making himself a peanut butter mold sandwich, and we all sit together to open the envelope. JJ is off to throw the sandwich after one bite. "it's good for you, natural organism" I quote him. "shut up" JJ sigh as John opens the folded paper he pulled out from the envelope.

"holy shit" John says, looking down at the white and black map. "oh, X marks the spot" Pope says. "longitude, latitude" John mumbles, finger" going over the lines. "wait, there's something else here" John says all of a sudden, and pulls what looks like a recorder from the envelope. "what's that?" JJ asks. "it's a tape recorder, dumbass" Kie and I answer him. "jinx!" I say before she gets too. "shush" JJ shuts us up. John presses play, and his father's voice fills the room.

John's eyes glisten, and I can tell his about to cry. He gets up at the moment the voice message is over, going over to the door frame to hide his tears from us. "holy shit, he did it!" JJ calls, but me and Kie glare at him to hint it's not the time. "big John, he found the Merchant-" JJ keeps going, but Kie cuts him off while I make my way toward John B, resting a hand on his shoulder to turn him around. He hugs me tight, "(y\n)…". "it'll be okay" I promise.

We sit outside, at the dock, with beer and Kie's ukulele. She plays a few notes and I hum along. When we were little, we always wanted to start a band together. "how much was it again?" JJ asks, throwing a rock into the water. "four hundred mil" John replies. "all right, let's talk the split" JJ offers, "now, before you say 'evenly', may I remind you that I am the only one that can properly defend us from those.. Harry and Marv, was it? You know, the groupers who were after us" as he talks, he pulls out a gun I was never aware he had in his possession. "protection? not cheap, okay" JJ keeps going. "you haven't trained Pope disagrees, and I think that we all agree. "400 divided by 5.." John thinks out loud. "80 million dollars" Kie says, "what would you do with it, Pope?" she askes. "pay for college in advance" Pope answers, and I can't say I was surprised. "and also textbooks, those are expensive" he adds. "what about you, kie?" JJ asks. "yeah, what does a socialist do when she's rich?" Pope asks, already guessing her answer. "just wanna make a double album" Kie replies, "about OBX, the pogues... you know, the way 'catch a fire' was about Kingstone. Recorded it at Marley Studios, Peter Tosh producing". She sounded so happy talking about it, it was truly heartwarming, so of course Pope had to ruin the moment and pop the fantasy with his facts. "Peter Tosh is dead".

"Peter Tosh is dead, I know" Kie talks over him, spirit of Peter Tosh will never die" she raises her beer can. "I know what I'll do" JJ says, "I'm gonna get a big ass house on figure 8 and go full Kook". "you're gonna go full Kook?" I ask him, highlighting the "you're", like he can pull off being a Kook. "yup, gonna get a marble statue of myself and then I'm gonna get a koi pond" JJ said, causing us all to laugh, "put a bunch of those fish". "I'm never visiting" Kie says. "what are you gonna do?" Pope asks, looking at me. "I don't know, maybe I'll get my family to come back here. 80 mil dollars, who needs my dad job in Georgia? or we can make the company open a store or a factory here, and my dad can run it. I miss you guys" I say, "and you, JB?" I ask, looking at John, he looked perfect in the dim light, but I think he looks good in every lighting. "to going full Kook" he says, referring to JJ's answer. "to going full Kook" we repeat his words, raising our beers.

We started walking back to John B. I think I drank too much beer, because I could barley walk. I don't usually drink that much, but seeing John looking at Kie and knowing they kissed really ate me, so I wanted to blur that emotion. "hey, hey, carful there" John laughed, and hurried to grab my waist before I fall. I leaned onto him, letting him help me. It was nice. "I can't bring her home like this, my parents see her, and I'm never allowed to see you" Kie sighed. "well, she can just stay at John's" JJ offered. "yeah, sure" John said. "tell your parents she wanted to stay with us a bit longer and didn't want them to be mad at you so she stayed and you left" Pope helped, and it was settled. We got to his place, and John and I went inside, saying goodbye to our friends.

The first thing I did was run to the bathroom. "shit" John sighed and hurried after me. He held my hair back so that I can throw up without ruining it. "you want to take a shower?" he offered, "I'll get you a shirt to sleep in". "thanks" I whispered, and he was about to leave the room when I started puking again. "hey, easy, buddy" he said, reaching his hand out to pull my hair off of my face. "what happened? I never thought you'd be the type to drink like that" he asked. "I didn't like seeing you looking at Kiara all heart eyed" I confessed, too drunk to stop myself. "what are you-?"

"well, I know you kissed her, and you like her, but I like you and I planned to tell you but then when I heard-" I puke once again. "well, I think that's it" I say, getting up. I opened the tab and grained some water, passing the taste. "I'll get you some cookies" John said. "are they gonna be moldy?" I call after him. whatever. I take off my shirt and pants, leaving my swimsuit on since the bathroom door is still open. "okay, so here's the cookies, shirt and towel-" John starts, moving them away from his face and right back to blocking his sight. "relax, I have a swimsuit on" I laugh. "oh" he says, putting down the things. "well, shower, and we'll talk about this later" he smiles at me. "okay" I whisper, and his hand grab my forearm to pull me closer and kiss my forehead.

I enter John B's room. He's sitting on his bed, looking at the map we found earlier. "hey" he smiles at me and taps the open space next to him. I sit down. "I took a toothbrush from under the sink, I hope that's oka-" I say, and as I talk his hand grab my chin and pulls me to his face, crushing his lips against mine. I return the kiss, confused but happy. "good thing you did that" he laughs, breaking the kiss. I laugh. "uh, listen, I don't like Kie. She's cool, but just not that way. JJ convinced me to shoot my shot. Think about it, who was sitting next to Kiara?" he ends his speech with a question. "me, it was me" I say. "right. So who was I looking at?" he asks.

"me? Were you looking at me?" I ask, confused. "yes. Yeah, I was" he laughs, "in case it wasn't clear from the fact I kissed you, I like you".

The sun shined through the window. "oh, they’re so cute when they’re asleep" I hear who I'm guessing is Kiara say. "yeah… let's wake 'em up". Now, that was definitely JJ. "no need, we're awake" I say before Pope gets to scream. he calls it singing, but that's just an insult to music. "yeah" John agrees with me, stretching as he gets up and breaks the cuddle we fall asleep in.

"so, you two were all cuddled up" Kie says once the boys leave the room, "that means what I think it means?". "yeah, I hope so" I reply, getting up. "well, please, don't spare any detail" she says, sitting down on the bed. I sit back down. "well, so I was drunk-"

Meanwhile in the kitchen

"so what, you and (y\n) are a thing now?" Pope asks, "I'm just saying, you two were like. really close". "yeah, JB, you are such a player. Getting all the hot ones, first Kie, and now-" "shut up, JJ" John cuts him off, "I only kissed Kie cause you kept bugging me, and it almost ruined my chances with (y\n)". "so what, you actually like her?" JJ asks, "that's dope man".
