It had been three years since you'd last seen any of your friends. Your dad had gotten a job offer in Washington, forcing you to leave your life behind. Leaving behind the Pogues was the hardest thing you ever had to do, the thought of never seeing them almost killing you. But thankfully, as time went on, your dad realized that maybe it was time to go back to his roots. Back to Outer banks.

The moment you stepped out of the car, you immediately felt right at home, a feeling you had been missing for years. A smile etched its way onto your face as a small wind brushed your face, bringing along the smell of the ocean. Giddy with excitement, you immediately reached for your skateboard that rested in the trunk, and told your parents that you would be back later. You slammed your foot down on the board and began to make your way to the place you never thought you'd see again. The Chateau.

A sudden wave of butterflies  hit you as you stood outside of John b's home. You heard laughter and voices coming from the backyard, ones that could only belong to your best friends. You all kept in touch ofcourse, but you still couldn't help but think, what if they didn't want you back, after all they seemed just fine for three years. You shook your head swiftly, ofcourse they'd want you back. You took a deep breath before placing your board down and walking quietly to the back yard.

Pope was the first to notice you.
His mouth dropped open before a massive grin spread onto his face. He quickly ran to you, catching the attention of the others, who all looked shocked.

"Holy shit!" Kiara exclaimed as Pope pulled you into hug.

"No fucking way!" shouted John b, tearing you from Pope and pulling you into his own arms.

"Holy shit" Kiara repeated, her eyes welling up with tears. John b let go of you, allowing Kiara to engulf you in a hug.

As your head rested on Kiaras shoulder, you glanced at the blonde headed boy, who still hadn't moved, his eyes wide with shock.

"I'm back" you chuckled pulling away from Kiara.
"Yeah no shit y/n" Pope joked, his face still holding disbelief.

You glanced at JJ again and smiled at him softly. You watched the boy as reality hit him and JJ ran towards you, grabbing your waist and spinning you around, before hugging you tightly.

"I missed you so much." He whispered into your, then placing a chaste kiss on your cheek.

"I missed you too" you muttered back, embracing him tightly.

After a while, you pulled away from JJ and turned to face the others,

"So what'd I miss?

"Oh nothing much" replied Kie moving back to the hammock that she had been previously sitting in.

The other boys followed suit and so did you, choosing to sit by JJ, who wrapped his arm around your shoulders.

"Just a little treasure hunt" said Pope, who was laying in the hammock, a ear splitting grin still curved on his face.

"No biggie" added John b, who winked at you playfully.

You scoffed, "no biggie my ass." you smirked, "so what's the treasure?"

"4 mil." Stated JJ as he pulled you closer towards him.

"400 mil" Pope and Kiara muttered. They looked at eachother, "jinx"

"So like the goonies?" You joked resting your head on JJ's shoulder.

"More like the Walmart version of the goonies" laughed JJ.

"Well I wanna be a Walmart goonie so count me in"

The five of you cheered excitedly. As you looked at the other pogues scattered around you and at the boy who's arm lay against your shoulder, you realized something,

you were finally home.
