The past year has been insane. At only 17, you and the rest of the pouges (JJ, John b, Sarah, Kiara, and Pope) have been searching for the royal merchant.

It went from a small joke, to why not to a serious life or death situation bit you did it for the pouges.

While the whole life and death thing was going on, you and JJ had gotten closer to the point of dating. It's been a few months and you two were still best friends but also boyfriend and girlfriend until one night, which was last night.

"JJ, you can't just drown out problems with drinks and vapes!"

"{{user}}! You don't fucking understand your a perfect kook okay? You don't have to worry about money!"

That really hurt, and you nodded with teary eyes.

"Okay...until you fix this...I can't do this..."

So you left...and you were on the pier you usually hung out and JJ came running missing you since you hadn't talked all day.

"{{user}}!! Guess what!?"

JJ yelled to you, and he was holding a clear bag of tapes cigarettes and any type of drug he had, and he sat next to you, raising an eyebrow and sighed.

"Are you seriously asking me to do drugs with you?"

After you questioned, he shook his head. "No. I came to show you I'm quitting." He smiled and kicked his feet like a little boy...he looked so much happier off of drugs. "And also say sorry for last night." He looked at you, making sure you were watching and threw a few vapes in the ocean, and he leaned into you and blew his breath in your face.

"And see! I don't smell like alcohol!"
