The Midsummers

A/N: sorry, I'm not a great writer and this is my first story. I'm feeling like you have expectations that I'm 100% not meeting, so I'm going to try really hard today! Also- should I remove Aiden altogether? From old chapters too? Or does anyone like him? Ty sm for your kindness! ❤️)

John B was explaining his plan for the 'Midsummers ball'"Explain That again?" Y/N looked confused. They often forgot she was new, "it's some Kook fest. Basically they get together and ignore everyone's problems. Only people in the 'Island Club' get to go." JJ rolled his eyes. "I'll be your cover" (since he worked in the kitchens once) "and I'll distract some kooks around the target while you get the message to them.""Then being the look queen.." Y/N blew out air, "Kie is gonna love this.""I need to talk to her." John B said bluntly and shrugged."My parents are probably there but unfortunately I did just run away after getting grounded."John B bit his lip. "Wear a veil?""John B it isn't a funeral or a wedding.""How about like a fancy mask? Like in that spooky opera.""The phantom of the opera?" Y/N smiled, "nice try Jay. I'll probably just hide behind my hair and avoid them." She lent back. John B looked at her when she said 'Jay'."You could be a waitress with JJ?" John B suggested."What and none of the staff will recognize me? I dunno. And I don't have no fancy waitress clothes.""Just hang out near Pope. It'll be fine." JJ waved his hand dismissively and Y/N dropped the subject."Will you be in a tux JJ?" Y/N's mouth turned up."Yeah. So?" He sneered."Ohh fancyyyy." She pinched his cheek."Hey get off." He pushed her and laughed.John B listened- curiously. Something was going on there and he wasn't sure if he wanted to know. "Jay." Y/N looked over at him. "Be safe in the kook's nest yeah?"JJ nodded and John B flinched. Jay. It just sounded weird."Oh JJ, when can I have that Jay D." He mumbled- remembering when Kie said 'be careful' to him and JJ mocked it. They exchanged a knowing look and tried not too laugh.

Y/N jumped off the boat and into the shallow waters, they pushed the boat up to the bank and John B pulled the rope from the nose of the HMS Pogue. She stepped onto the spiky grass. In JJ's hand was a bag full of his waiter clothes. He'd gathered it all up before leaving his father's house. At least that whats Y/N assumed. It was dark by the time they arrived. John B bit his finger. "Sorry I didn't think about getting you anything fancy.""Dude I don't care" she laughed and ruffled her own hair. "Look at me right now." She gestured to her scruffy white top and her shorts."You're kinda from figure eight though. They have expectations-""Not after they saw me and JJ roll past in a cop car yesterday." "Wait wha-" John B's eyes narrowed."You guys ready?" JJ interrupted."Can you believe this midsummer shit man." John B said as he caught sight of the party.JJ glared at it, "Course I can. Happens every year. No matter how screwed up the rest of us are."Y/N bit her inner lip, "Not sure what I expected to be honest.""It's the lions den." John B stared."It's weird seeing as half of the island has no electricity or running water." Y/N felt guilty."Kooks. What did you think they'd do." John B said, pushing forwards into the stringy grass.

"So like, what's the plan" JJ asked."Okay look. I need you to get this to Sarah." John B handed Y/N a piece of folded up paper."Ooh can I read it?" JJ looked excited."No you can't read it." He answered, (disappointing much.)Some paper unfolding later... "Who's Vlad?" Piped up JJ.John B complained, "Don't you ever listen?" Making Y/N laugh."Y/N you take it." He snatched it from JJ and gave it back to Y/N."Oh here- take this." JJ took his hat and placed it on Y/N's head. He folded her hair in such a way that, if the hat was tiled forwards, she looked a bit like a boy."That's weird dude." JJ laughed.Y/N smiled and glanced at the paper in her hands. "Hold up. Are you Macking Sarah Cameron?" And tried to stand in front of John B."Would you shut up!" He swerved around her."You're macking Sarah Cameron!" JJ announced."Al- all ri... alright dude! Alright!" John B struggled to interrupt him. "I'm doing it for everybody.""Oh poor you. Really took one for the team with that gorgeous rich girl." Y/N rolled and eyes and chuckled."Thanks for being a team player bro." JJ mocked as he dropped his bag. He threw his white shirt over his tank. And John B picked up his tie."Hold still." He commanded as they quickly buttoned up his shirt and started to do up his tie."So I give this to Sarah yeah?" She asked him as she undid the laces on JJ's shoes."Yeah just give it to Sarah." He replied- staring intensely at the black tie."Vlad. Really." JJ criticized. John B just rolled his eyes.Then he reached down again and pulled out- the gun. John B slowed his movements as he saw it. "Are you kidding me?""No. I'm not kidding you" JJ glared.Y/N put a hand on the gun and put it into her pocket. John B pointed in her face, "if you get caught you're going to jail.""Better than death John B. Look at my eye. I'm covered in bruises. These Kook bastards almost killed us the other night.""What the fuck did I miss?" He mumbled, taken back. "JJ will also get arrested you know."Y/N hesitated. She put the gun back. "If we get ambushed tonight it's on you." She put her hands up in surrender.After that JJ quickly took off his black longer shorts and threw them at Y/N, "you'll look more convincing." He then put on his waiter trousers and changed his shoes. John B gave her his black jumper that she zipped up part way. "Yeah- that's fine""They'll probably be drunk anyway." Y/N shrugged. John B turned around to walk to the party and Y/N grabbed JJ's collar."You look good." She whispered- inches from his face."Oh thanks..." he grinned. Beneath her boyish look- he still saw her face. and kissed her, pulling her back and her thigh into his body.John B began to turn around and Y/N pulled away- pretending to sort out his tie. "You coming?" He sighed."Yeah." They said unanimously.

"Fucking lady liberty over there." Y/N gestured towards Rose Cameron and her big spiky headdress. JJ laughed and then slipped away with some glasses on a tray. Heading up towards the main entrance, saying "just found these halfway down the beach. Keep these guys in check yeah? I thought you were security." And the guard shook his head, annoyed. It was just John B and Y/N."Right remember- get this to Val- Sarah."Y/N chucked and nodded. "Yeah- I'll get it to Val." And walked over- pulling her hat low. She walked past Pope and used that as her cover to slip in. Y/N went on her tiptoes to scan the crowd. She was her parents on the veranda- her mum with what looked like a pint of wine and her dad shaking hands. No Sarah though.As she went to leave Pope grabbed her."Ga- dude! Don't sneak up on me like that." She whispered.Pope pushed her so she stood a few feet away and lunges forwards- engulfing her in a bear hug. "Oof!" She huffed under the weight of Pope's hug. He clung to her and she patted his back. "Unexpected PDA there, Dr. Spock." Pope scrunched up his eyes and Y/N lent back to look at his face. He released her."Hey, uh.... you're one of my best friends too man." And gave him a pat on the cheek."Dude I'm sick all over this shit man!" Pope looked distressed. "Sick?" She put a hand to his head, "you don't seem sick.""Sick on the inside." He brushed her hand aside. "Right, well we all already knew that." She nodded with a straight face. "Why are you... dressed like that?" He looked her up and down."Oh well my parents locked me in my room and cut off all the WiFi so I had to sneak out.""I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you take the fall for this man..." "No-""It's my fault!""No. It's not.""It was my fault..""Shut up Pope.""You took the fall for me-""Shut up.""I'll tell the truth- I'll go to the cops-""Shut up Pope!! Shut up!" She grabbed his head. "For once in your life. Trust someone else. We've got it all sorted out. We're gunna be filthy rich." She lent into his ear and whispered, "were back in the 'G' game man." "G game? I- I thought we lost the G game?!""Yeah well we're in over time now. John B nabbed us some valuable time with Val. Be back soon. Hey JJ is over there if you want to see him." She pointed at him at the other side of the party.

Y/N looked around for Sarah again and, once she saw her, darted through the crowd towards her and wheezie as they danced together. She even passed her parents and one point who went to reach out to her but she pulled her hat down."Could've sworn that was Y/N.." the whispered.She reached Sarah. "Y/N/W?" (<- your name wrong)"Y/N." She corrected, still smiling and slightly dancing. Y/N took Sarah's hand and spun her. "I have a- Uh. A note from Vlad?" She held it up. She danced still and stood back to back, holding a pinkie to her mouth and shushing Sarah's questions. "Okay....""Read the note." Y/N nodded and slipped away with a quick wink. Y/N turned and faced JJ. "Good job." He stood to her side and hugged her shoulders. Little did they know Toppers friends were near by. And they'd seen them. So once Y/N slipped away they approached JJ.

(A/N: we're going to follow JJ for a bit since Y/N goes back to Pope and Kie.) "I'm wondering if you could get me a mai tai my friend." Rafe grabbed his shoulders. "Pogue how about you make that two." Kelce snarled."I'm in the clock right now." He said- wiggling slightly to get out of Rafe's grip. "You guys look spiffy." Rafe and Kelce shared a look. "You know I Uh- I got a couple of orders ahead of you; so why don't you go and wait at the bar?""No." Rafe glared." Were going now. Guys! JJ's gunna serve us some hors d'oeuvres! Right." He shouted to His other friends."Well, here are the hors d'oeuvers." JJ pointed star the bar. "Okay." Kelce grinned.JJ kept backing up, "I'll be right back." "We're actually going to follow you just to make sure you're not lying.". Rafe, Kelce and two blonde and one brown haired Kook followed JJ into the house.He raced through the tables and chairs littering the floor. Throwing them down to trip the kooks following him. He skidded round corners and barbed through doors. "Oh shit..." he hissed as the guests clamored. "Hey! Hey!" A man shouted in alarm."Come on bud!" Called Rafe. A girl gasped as JJ pushed past her in the hallway."Sorry!" He called and flew into the bathroom. It was so fancy it had a little Lobby. "excuse me guys!" He called into the bathroom as he pulled on doors."I'm takin a shit!" A man shouted. "Sorry! Sorry. I really gotta go" JJ chucked nervously. "Hey I'll be out in a sec!" Said another man. All the stalls were taken. JJ reaches the other exit to the room- but Kelce cut him off. He turned around and ran into Rafe. "Fuck you." A guy spat at them. He just wanted to take a leak in peace.They got JJ cornered in a locker room- just off the bathroom.

Rafe pushed him into Kelce's arms."Cute outfit." He smirked. And they threw him onto a bench. He grunted as another Kook grabbed his neck with him arm from behind and held his tight. "Hold him still." Rafe grinned a crooked grin. "What do you think? A four iron right?"His stupid friends chucked. "Keep his head still!" "Yeah I've gotta line this up." Rafe lined up a pretend golf club.JJ struggled and wouldn't keep still. "Very Rafe of you. Five on one?""If you could please stop talking." Rafe fired back. "It's very disrespectful I'm trying to hit a ball." He mocked.JJ struggled more and tried to grab the kook holding him."Learn some etiquette my friend." Rafe said as he lined up his shot."Oh come on-" JJ muttered.Swish- SMACK.JJ got a fist square in the jaw. The kooks laughed with pleasure.Again. Swish- SMACK.JJ groaned and gritted his teeth.The Kooks laughed again- it's like they got off on this shit.Again. JJ already has bruises and cuts- this was making them worse. "Your face looks pretty bad" Rafe leaned it. "Starting to look like your dad a lot more."JJ spat. Literally. Right into Rafe's eyes. It was beautiful."Oh shit!" He laughed to hide his annoyance."All right! It wa-" suddenly the lights flickered and Rafe stopped talking. They all looked around. Confused.

"Gentlemen." Said a man in the doorway. It was the guard from earlier! "Is there a problem?" He asked as Kelce jumped away from JJ and threw him to the lockers. "Oh! Pardon me officer there's not an issue. I just-" JJ trailed off. Then he got an idea. "Actually yes. No, there is an issue." He wiped his hair off of his sweating forehead. "Uh, we got a criminal trespass in progress here." He nodded. "Beep! Call it in. Right? Blatant disrespect for private property." He looked at Rafe who was picking his earwax."Yeah." He scoffed."I'm in violation of all kinds of shit sir. But these young gentlemen-""Don't touch my shirt." Kelce shoved JJ as he straightened his bow tie."Uh- caught me. Sir. And they're about to take me away."The guard didn't look like he believed that for a second."And that's what you should do!" JJ put his hands together as if he was to be handcuffed. "Escort me out of here!""Come on." The guard roughly grabbed JJ's wrist."All right. Fix that tie son!" He called back to Kelce. "You're looking spiffy too! You power puff girls have fun!""Tell Y/N she looks pretty hot for a Fake Pogue!" Rafe said "I'd have her."JJ yanked his arm from the guard and the guard grunted in surprise. He ran straight for Rafe with the intention of strangling him to death until the guard grabbed him again. JJ didn't stop rushing for Rafe for a good few seconds."Hey! Stop it. Come here let's go." The guard dragged JJ away."You think I'm afraid of you!?" He talked at the Kooks."Come on!" The guard wheezed as he pulled him outside."Safe travels back to the cut!" He shouted- having to have the last word."This ain't over man!" JJ shouted as he was pushed out the door.

The glass doors to the porch swung open and JJ was dragged out in front of everyone. Y/N stood with Pope and they were joking around. "Look- look, man. I can walk myself." JJ tried to drag himself from the guards grip. "I got legs. Can you see that brother?""Come on." Was all he said.The kook crowds ogled at this scene. It was uncommon for this to happen... Y/N's dad glared at him- he knew this boy. Thank god he got his daughter away before it was too late."I really appreciate what you did back there- but let me go." JJ struggled. He passed a man with a drink and said, "oh Mr. Dunleavy, I see you got your drink. Good." He slowed down while passing and took it from his hands. "I'm actually gunna down that." And chugged the whole thing. Y/N and Pope were wheezing as they watched this play out. John B appeared behind them and laughed."What the hells the matter with him?!" Demanded the man."Sorry sir." The guard looked embarrassed."Aah! Whoo!" Called JJ. "I really appreciate the discretion, Daryl, you know?" He stumbled over his own feet. "It's okay everybody!" He yelled. "Do not panic!" Even Sarah and her father Ward stared at him. "Leave it to the men and women in uniform! Let's hear it for them!" And started clapping. Y/N felt like she was about to laugh so hard she vomited, both her and Pope using each other for support."Rose!" JJ pointed at her. "You look like lady liberty. It's good too see you again. Hey buddy can I have one of those?" He stole another drink from a kook and downed it. Then Kie came out. "Let go of him!" She called."Excuse me ma'am?""Really?" Her mum hissed at her."I invited him here.""Kiara stop it." Snapped her mum."I'm a member of this club." She gestured to herself.They were silent. Pope, Y/N and John B stopped laughing. JJ caught Y/N's eye and she signaled JJ to push the guard- just for some excitement.JJ smiled at her, and Amidst the sudden calm, JJ suddenly shoved the guard and ran off. "Sorry about that!" He called as the crowd gasped. Y/N cackled. "Hey, mandatory power hour at Rixon's Kie!" Y/N pointed at her as JJ ran over."Pope you in as well right?" JJ asked him. He scooped up Y/N and her hat fell off. "Y/N?! How are you here?!" Her dad yelled loudly. She laughed as JJ spun her around and she kissed him hard on the mouth.John B choked on air and Pope smiled. JJ put Y/N down and called out, "come on Pogues let's roll! Kie, come on!" He did a power fist, "workers of the world unite!""Throw off your chains!" Y/N added. She saw her mum slumped in a chair and her dad started storming over. There were so many people in the way it made it quite a challange."Oh shit." She laughed and jogged over to John B who high-fived the both of them. "You can't hang around these kids." Kie's dad said in her ear."I'm sorry..." she turned and took off her heels/ racing after her friends. "Hey- hey- Hey! Kiara!" He shouted."Kiara!" Her mum added."Whoo-hoo!" John B opened his arms to the sky as they stood under the starts- facing the kooks with brilliant confidence and joy. "Cornel" Y/N saluted John B."Captain." John B saluted back."Mission accomplished sir!" They laughed.Pope looked at his dad anxiously. "No. Pope... don't, Pope!" He called as his son walked away, all apologies, handing him his apron.Kie ran down the grass and Y/N embraced her upon greeting. "Wooo!" She shouted"Woop!" Y/N shouted out as well.JJ and John B laughed at the girls wolf-like greeting and also yelled "wooooo!""Enough of this son" Heyward started at the apron in his hands. "Don't do this. Don't do this! Where the hell do you think you're going?!" Pope ran towards his friends who were dancing and spinning around. Their carefree laughter cut through the cold Kook air. "Later losers!" John B shouted into he crowd as Y/N's dad has almost reached them. He watched helplessly as his little girl escaped his control and ran into the night.Her mischievous friends by her side. Their playground laughs flew through the air like songbirds. John B felt himself look at Y/N and JJ. He reached for her hand and she took it. They smiled at each other with a twinkle in their eyes. John B wasn't sure what had happened completely. But he was ok with it. Sarah watched them with jealousy. What she wouldn't give to be running into the cool breezes outside of this stuffy party. With friends too. Real friends.

They didn't look back.
