We brought the tape to Shoupe and made him listen to it. John B was the only one that went into the office.

He came back out with a small smile. "Guess who's going to jail!" He yelled as he got in the car, making us all yell excitedly except Sarah.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ward Cameron, King of Kooks is going to jail!" I exclaimed as we sat around the Chat.

John B, JJ, and Pope all screamed along. Sarah and Kie were sitting outside. I felt small sympathy pains but it was way too overwhelmed with joy. He was going to jail.

"Adios!!" JJ and Pope said at the same time.

Sarah then ran in as we were celebrating, Kie behind her. "We have to go. They're getting him." Sarah told us, holding a phone that had just been hung up.

We all rushed to the van and followed the police sirens. "Shit." Kie said as many passed. "Oh my god. Can you please hurry? I need to be there for Wheezie." Sarah told John B as they sat in the front.

"You think I want to miss this?" JB asked her. Sarah looked at him with a 'wtf' face.

When we got to their house we all quickly got out and looked over the stone wall. "I cant see." Pope said, making J whisper, "I cant either."

"Screw it. I'm going over." I told them before hoping the wall. I wasn't going to miss this shitheads downfall.

The others followed me but I was already running to where the police were. They all went to the dock.

Oh shit. Ward was on his yacht.

Sarah walked up to Wheezie and held her, crying. Wheezie kept asking why the police were there but Sarah told her to go inside and not to come out. Rose lead Wheezie inside.

Shoupe was telling Ward to come down from the yacht when we went to the dock. I started walking through the police men with Sarah right behind me and JB behind her and then the rest of the Pogues in a line.

"You gotta let us through." I told the police. "That's Sarah Cameron. Let her through!" Shoupe yelled at them. "What are you doing here, Sarah?" Ward yelled at her.

We walked through the police men to Shoupe.

"You can't let her here Shoupe! She cant be here right now!" Ward yelled at him. "Just come on in, and you can talk to her!" Shoupe yelled back.

"Sarah, I'm so sorry, baby. I can't!" Ward yelled. He lifted the anchor up. "Dad, what are you doing? No! No!" Sarah yelled.

"Ward! This ain't gonna end the way you want it to!" Shoupe told him. "You don't need her seeing this."

"Dad, don't leave! Where are you going?" Sarah shouted. "I love you!" Ward told her. Sarah was yelling, Shoupe was yelling. Ward was yelling.

Then it blew.

"Holy shit!" Pope yelled as we all ducked from the debris.

JJ had his arm around my waist and pulled me back to him, putting his arm above my head and protecting me with his body.

After the debris fell we all stood up. Sarah was crying but no one else was.

I knew I should feel bad, but knowing he was gone made me somewhat happy.

I looked over and Topper was holding Sarah on the ground. Fuck.

~~~

Sarah stayed with her family and we all went back to the Chât.

"He deserved it, right?" I asked Kie as we sat on the dock, me laying down with my arms crossed and my head on them and Kie with her back to a pole.

Now I was conflicted because of how bad Sarah felt. "Are you joking?" Kie asked, making me look up quickly. "Of course he deserved it." She told me.

"Never seen anyone blow themselves up like that." Pope said as him and the boys came up to us. "Cross that one off the bucket list." JJ said. "JJ!" Kie scolded him.

John B laid on the boat, sitting the same way as I was. "Sucks for Sarah." JJ said, trying to get him to talk. "Hey," I threw a piece of wood that fell off the dock at John B.

"Are you okay?" I asked him from above. "It's not me I'm worried about." John B replied sadly.

~~~

Basically after that, we all went inside besides JB who wanted to stay outside on the dock and Sarah came and talked to him.

By the looks of it I'm pretty sure they ended it or at least got in a very bad fight.

After she left, Pope went out and laid with John B and when night came me, J, and Kie followed him.

"Hot potato, hot potato, hot potato two!" JJ said as he threw a beer at the two of them, ruining their conversation. "Impressive catch." I said sarcastically as it fell in the water.

"He needs another one!" Kie said. Me and J, who were holding the beers, both threw one at Pope and John B who actually caught it this time.

"What are you guys doing out here? Having a good cry?" I asked John B as I took a drink of my beer and leaned against the dock. "Cry? What are you talking about. We don't cry." JB replied sarcastically.

"You know it's not your fault, right?" Kie told John B, being more serious. "You think she'll come around?" JB asked. "Yeah, dude. She's one of us." Kie replied, holding a joint in her hand.

John B turned around and chuckled a bit. "Sarah's a Pogue. She'll come around. Yep. You know, she'll come back to me. Right."

For a second I thought John B had already gotten into the beer.

"You know, I was just thinking about it. I'm gonna do a backflip." John B suddenly decided. "You're lying," I taunted him. "I won't do it?" JB question. "You won't." J taunted him with me. "You got money?" Kie pointed at him.

"Hold my beer," JB gave it to Pope. Pope was saying, "I want to see it," while JB was handing it to him.

John B did the backflip, making us all shout. "Yeaaaaah!" Kie yelled. "Yeah! That's my boy!" J yelled with her.

"Woogity-woogity baby!" JB yelled from the water.

That night we decided to get absolutely trashed.

~~~

The next morning was pretty horrible. I woke up literally on top of the kitchen counters. John B was spread on the couch mattress, Kie was in my room I think, JJ was just laying on the floor beside the mattress, and Pope was already waking up and somehow getting ready.

He didn't notice me awake so went and woke Kie up first, them being the responsible ones.

"Hey, wake up. We got school." Pope told me as he was making his rounds of waking everyone up.

I was trying to swat his hand off me but ended up rolling off the counter. I landed with a hard thud and groan on the ground but thankfully, there was a couple of pillows on the ground like Pope had expected me to fall. Or maybe I put them there and I expected myself to fall in the morning. Who the hell knows.

"Get up, we got school," Pope repeated to John B, poking him with a stick of beers tied together. "Is he even alive?" Pope questioned, hitting JJ's face side to side as John B sat up and I was finally gathering my wits and standing up.

"I don't even know man," John B replied.

Yeah it was chaos trying to get me, JB, and JJ out the door. We were extremely hungover.

JB threw on a shirt and Pope instructed JJ to put on shoes. He apparently decided the rest of me and JJ's outfits were fine as he held my bag for me, pushed JJ and John B their backpacks, while also pushing us out the door.

He had JB and JJ nearly out and grabbed me by the shirt as I was walking a straight path to my bedroom, saying, "No, this way."

"Hold on, let me grab a piece of pizza," JJ complained. "No, you missed breakfast." Pope replied like a dad, though J managed to grab a piece.

"I'll meet up with you guys later," I heard Kie say as Pope was still herding us out the door.

Honestly I love Pope because we would never survive without him.

He drove us to school, me and JJ already passed out in the back again and John B laying down.

I woke up to Pope hitting the breaks, which made JJ fly up and hit the front of the seat. I immediately laughed which woke me up even more.

"Come on," Pope told us, getting out of the van. "Let's go. Up and at 'em."

He managed to get us inside the school and into our first class. I don't have any idea how he manages with us. It's a real talent.

"Glad you could join us, Mr Routledge," the teacher told John B who was sitting behind me. JJ was sitting beside me and Pope behind him. "Sunglasses off, (Y/N)," she also told me as she walked beside me.

I took off my sunglasses, though shielding the light right after, as she laid a paper down in front of me.

"It's good to be back." JB replied to their last conversation. "Just in time for your first quiz." Our teacher said, making us all look at each other and grimace.

John B pointed at Pope with a mean look. "A test?" He questioned angrily. "I told you we had a test!" Pope retaliated. "I have no recollection of that!" I whisper yelled at him. "No you didn't!" John B said at the same time as me. "Yes I did! I said it the first thing this morning." Pope told us.

We got cut off from our whispering fight from a girl whispering at John B and passing him a note.

After the test, which I definitely failed, JB showed us the note that was talking about a bonfire.

"Bonfire? Well, I think she meant to give it to me, so we're all good there," JJ said confidently as all four of us walked up stairs, his arm around my shoulders. "We're definitely going." I told them, putting my sunglasses back on.

"Oh! Mr Routledge, Mr Heyward, Mr Maybank, other Routledge. Just the people I wanted to see." Our history teacher told us. He was by far all of our favorite teacher.

"Wish I could say the same," JJ replied sarcastically as I put my sunglasses up and onto the top of my head.

He lead us into his room.

He started talking about some historical archives and pulled out a box. He opened it and it showed a leather journal inside. Pope picked it up and opened it.

It was the Tanny gold wheat symbol.

Oh shit. It was Denmark Tanny's diary.
