Y/N woke up to the sound of drowsy giggling. Her eyes flickered open and squinted under the glaring sun. A grumble escaped her lips as she heaved herself up, feeling her bullet wound ache. She felt a pressure on her hand, and looked over to see JJ slumped against the bench/bed that she was lying on. She smiled and bent down to him, giving him a lick on the head.He opened his eyes and looked at her, laughing, "well hey princess.""Hey there." Y/N smiled at him, squeezing his hand. JJ stood up, helping Y/N to her feet, "Anyone else starving? We need to grab some sort of breakfast."Y/N nodded, she was going to suggest Kie's place, but them remembered about the whole 'Boarding school' ordeal and didn't.They pulled the boat up to the wooden pier outside John B's house, Y/N called out "All disembark!" and everyone jumped out. Pope and John B tying it up at some posts."Here ma'am, take my hand." JJ offered her his arm and helped her over the gap. "Oh thank you good sir." Y/N smiled, curtsying. As she didn't know how too curtsey, it was more of a mess of legs and arms and she did this sort of squat. "Verrry ladylike." JJ laughed and scooped her up, catching up with the other Pogues."We gotta find some food soon." Sarah sighed, her stomach grumbling.

Kie and Sarah went into some garden patch, and looked through the overgrown weeds for any sign of edible food."Ugh!" Kie said, grabbing something, Jackpot!" she shouted, holding up a watermelon. The pair of them sat down on an old abandoned tractor part and ripped the watermelon in half, gorging themselves on it's sweet flavour."Okay, so you really got married?" Kie asked between mouthfuls."It wasn't exactly legal but.." She smiled, "Yeah."They chuckled at one another, eating more watermelon."So, am I crazy or is there definitely something going on between you... and Pope.""Maybe." Kie looked away.Sarah shook her head smiling, "That's not a no."Kie gave her a shaky shrug, "It's not a no.""Girlll.." Sarah looked at her. They had missed one anothers company. Kie even started giggling.

Back at the boat, Y/N and JJ were climbing the boat. She lay across the top and held his arms, trying to throw him in. They made the boat shake as they giggled there. He was making sure to be gentle."So, uh, What's up with this Kiara stuff then big guy?" John B asked Pope as they sat on the edge of the wooden pier and dangled their legs over the side.Pope sighed, "Honestly. I don't know right now man. I mean I definitely like her.""Yeah." John B said, passively listening."Ain't that the truth." Y/N looked down at him, grinning."I'm pretty sure she likes me.""She did kiss you that time on the truck." Piped up JJ. "Little smoochy smooch""Oh okay yeah, seems like she likes you then." John B smiled."There's just a lot of conflicting information going on right now. Like I tried to hug her after she almost drowned and she shoved me off!"The boat was shaving more and more next to the boys as JJ and Y/N started playing more rough."Guys, guys. GUYS! Do you mind?" John B put a hand on the boat and one over his eyes as the water splashed him."Yeah.. sorry.""Sorry JB." They jumped down and sat on the boat edge, listening to Pope."Okay well.. The thing is I'm trying to gather all the data, and put it all into a folder in my mind-"John B brushed the hair from his eyes, looking amused, "folder?" He asked."All right, man, look, women, alright, like, they're just not consistent." JJ said."All right Popey let me help." Y/N put a hand on his shoulder, "As a actual women, I know that sometimes we aren't the most consistent. Neither are you. But there is a difference between not being consistent and just leading you on.""And we learnt today that we don't take girl advice form JJ." John B made a face, making Pope laugh. "Anyway, what's the deal with that Limbrey chick? Think she knew my pops?" John B asked him."I don't know. But I do think that she has the information that could exonerate you.""Sick! Let's go get it then! And beat up Aiden again while we're at it." Y/N grinned."Kidnappings for the win." JJ reached his hand up to her, grabbing it in a hard handshake, laughing."No, no, no, no. Don't make me regret picking you up! She was behaving." John B pointed at JJ. "But that evidence would be ideal.""Not to throw a monkey wrench in this whole thing- but she did just try to kidnap you and trade you for a key. Like how many times do I gotta say this!" JJ complained."Here we go.." John B sighed."Oh god." Pope sighed too, looking skywards."Why don't we just go south! Why even go back!? Live in Poguetopia! Or even Yucatan!" JJ lent forwards with enthusiasm."No, no JJ-" John B began."Coast of broken dreams baby." Y/N leant on JJ and ran her hand over the horizon."No. I'm not running anymore. Sarah doesn't want this."Y/N put her hands up, "Gotcha."JJ nodded and adjusted his cap."Look, OBX is my home." John B looked at them all."True.. True... You shouldn't be forced outta here." Y/N sighed and agreed."Besides, if I go back. I get another shot at Ward." His face became stern. Y/N hadn't seen him look like that in a while."Hi." Came a girls voice. It was Sarah and Kie. They held watermelons under their arms."What ya doing?" Kie asked them."Talkin' about.. Fishin'." John B stammered."Droppin' lures." JJ agreed. The girls looked at them with suspicion."That's that, you know... Toss me a melon!" Y/N grinned at Kie. She smiled, still not believing the fishing story, and threw it over. Only for it to smash on Y/N's lap."Ohhhh!!" The pogues all laughed. JJ spun Y/N to face him and ate some of the watermelon off of her thighs."JAY!" She laughed. "Oh JJ!""Dude!"Kie dragged him off of her, laughing."Hold this." She handed him the other watermelon."Goodness gracious." He mumbled under it's weight."What's that now?" Pope asked her.Sarah smiled, "Breakfast.""Bring on the watermelon!" John B chuckled and took it from JJ, splitting it open in his hands.JJ was still scooping some off of Y/N's lap with her while Pope and John B dug into the other one- handing it over once they were full.

Ward was sitting in his own pier next to his huge boat. Rose came up behind him, illuminated by the sunrise, "Why did you make me walk all the way out here? What's going on." She sighed."I have to tell you something..." Ward responded. He stood up from the banister he was leaning on and wandered over to Rose. He took the shades off of hi face and took a deep breath, "Um... Sarah..... is alive."Rose didn't know what to say."I saw her... In Nassau. With John B and Y/N. Um..." He wiped his face, "She was with people from the island and they tried to take the gold from us... It got ugly. She got shot in the shoulder. Y/N jumped in the way and took the worst of it and he really didn't mean to he was just aiming for John B-" He spoke quickly but was cut off.Rose's jaw had dropped. She was overwhelmed by all the information. "Wait- who... Who didn't mean to?"Ward nodded slowly, "Rafe."Rose raised her eyebrows, "Uh....""He didn't mean to honey, he was just...""Rafe shot Sarah and probably killed that.. Y/N girl he's been looking at on his phone?"Ward nodded slightly."..Is Sarah okay?" She asked."I don't know.. I hope so. God." Ward whispered in reply."Well.. I told the police.. that Rafe was here. When Peterkin was shot.""So?""So!?" Rose said in disbelief."Yeah?""So, If Sarah comes home and testifies against us and they believe her it'll come out that I lied under oath.""What are you talking about that's crazy Rose and.." Ward spoke over her. "She's not gunna do it!""Of course she would-""Rose she,-""Rafe just shot her and her friend!""He didn't mean to!" Ward began to get worked up."Ward... Ward..." Rose tried to talk to him but he turned around and wandered off. "Ward there's something wrong with him, okay? You've been ignoring it since he was ten but there is something wrong with Rafe. God help that girl he's got his eye on." She walked over to him."Stop it Rose please. I'm asking you to stop." He turned to face her, speaking quietly."You always told me think three moves ahead. Well I'm thinking. And if you can't keep Sarah from testifying you're gonna have to make a choice. Rafe or Sarah."Ward shrugged. "I can't choose.""Well if it come's down to it and you can't make a decision. I will."Ward looked scared for once... but he refused to open his eyes. His pupils dilated and eyelids flickered, he didn't want to even think about choosing between his children.
