cant remember to forget you

pairing: shane hawkins x oc (juniper grohl)

year: 2022 (before taylor passed)

warnings: underage drinking, party, kissing, idk if theres anymore

a/n: this is based off of the song cant remember to forget you by shakira ft. rhianna so i suggest listening to it while you read if you wanna

juniper woke up to her head pounding and light flooding in from her open window. she groaned as she stood up, closing her curtains before getting changed into a more comfortable outfit rather than her previous dress she wore to the party.

she made her way downstairs, a firm hand on her forehead as if it helped the pain. it did not. alas, she didnt care. she trudged grumpily into the kitchen where she grabbed a glass and filled it with water. she made her way back upstairs to the bathroom where her family kept the tylenol.

she popped two tylenols in her mouth and, with a grimace, swallowed them while taking a sip of her water. she walked back to her bedroom, flopping on her bed as she tried to remember a single thing from last night. eventually, she got annoyed with trying and decided to call her best friends annabelle and haven.

“hello?” haven and annabelle said simultaneously.

“hi.. uh i cant remember anything from last night.” juniper sighed while her two bestfriends laughed.

“i told you not to drink so much!” annabelle exclaimed, while haven was still laughing.

“yeah well.. i did. and i need your help.” juniper grimaced, she hated asking for help.

“with what?” haven asked. “when did the alcohol start fucking with you?”

“uhh i was about 3 drinks in” juniper said.

“well, you danced a lot. so nothing that new” annabelle laughed.

“what else?” juniper bit her lip, hoping she didnt do anything irrational.

“you kissed my brother.” annabelle said.

“fuck.” juniper muttered.

she ended the call after thanking them and put her head in her hands. how could i be so stupid? i knew i shouldnt have gone to the party. she thought. the faint memories of last night were coming back to her.

flashback

she danced on the dancefloor to maneater by nelly furtado. she hadnt a care in the world, she was just happy to be there. before long, the music cut off because the party host had an announcement.

“uh, we’re gonna do truth or dare in the other room so if you wanna join, you can” the girl stated, she was swaying and slurring her words.

juniper shrugged, joining the group in the dining room. she sat in the circle that was created, sitting in the middle of annabelle and haven. it wasnt long before her name was called.

“juniper. truth or dare?” a guy asked, her eyes wouldnt focus on the boy.

“mmh, dare” she smirked, she felt like being mischievous tonight.

“i dare you to… do seven minutes in heaven with a person of your choice.” the guy chuckled with his other friends, obviously expecting it to be him.

she stumbled over to a drunk shane and pulled him up from the circle, walking to a closet that the boy begrudgingly told them to go into.

shane and juniper shared a small laugh, looking into each others eyes.

“you dont have to kiss me if you dont wanna.” she slurred, just because she was drunk doesnt mean she didnt want the boy to feel comfortable.

“no, its okay” he smiled back. “is it okay? if i kiss you?”

“more than okay.” she smiled, as they both leaned in.

they shared a small kiss, which left them both a blushing mess. they kissed once more before the door had bursted open. the seven minutes was officially over, yet it didnt feel like seven minutes.

she waved to shane, explaining that she was going to get a drink. before she could grab her drink, her sister, violet, burst into the kichen. violet dragged her out of the party and into her car, before giving juniper a lecture on how she should tell her where she was going.

end of flashback

she gasped, embarrassed of the memory. not because of the kiss with shane, but because she actually had the guts to do it. she just hoped shane didnt remember, since her, shane and the foo’s kids would be meeting up today. hoping to arrive at 7pm, but she knew she'd probably be a bit late.

she sighed as she realised she would have to pick an outfit out. she walked to her closet, picking up a long-sleeved black and grey striped shirt, some grey cargo pants, her chunky doc martens and a light grey zip-up hoodie. she put a necklace on, a few rings and changed her piercings over, she grabbed her small backpack.

she walked downstairs, realising that her dad, dave, hadn't gone shopping recently she decided to go and get snacks and cherry coke from the 7/11, she picked her skateboard up and headed out of the door. she put her belongings in her bag and made her way out of her front gate.

when she closed the gate behind her, she sped off down the road, taking the necessary turns to get to the 7/11. after 25 minutes, she had brought her snacks and drinks and rolled up to her house and walked in the front door, leaving her skateboard propped up next to harpers.

she walked in the living room.

“sorry im late” she sighed, sitting on the couch.

“no different than usual” violet joked.

“watch it vi” juniper chuckled.

violet put her hands up in fake surrender while laughing. everyone got to talking to eachother but she just couldnt stop thinking of the kiss from last night. juniper shook the thoughts from her head and tried her best to join in the conversation.

without realising it, she kept staring at shane, hoping he did feel the same as her and didnt kiss her just because he was drunk. her mind was filled with overthinking, she just couldnt stop no matter how hard she tried.

she eventually shook it off, going to the kitchen for a drink and heading to the garden, hoping to get her mind off shane. she knew there was no point in trying, the thought would pop back up just as she was about to go to sleep tonight. she heard the patio door open and close, she felt a presence behind her and turned around.

she gasped quietly as she saw who towered over her, to nobody's surprise it was shane. he sat quietly next to her, fiddling with the rings on his fingers. she could tell shane was nervous, it was practically written on his face.

"uh.. how are you?" he asked awkwardly.

"im.. okay, you?" juniper replied, hesitating a bit.

"i just wanted to talk to you.. about last night." he stated, looking in her eyes.

"oh.. what about it?" she said, acting clueless and hoping he forgot about the kiss they shared the previous night.

"the kiss?" he said, but it sounded more like a question.

juniper quickly blushed a deep red, thinking he probably regretted it.

"im sorry, by the way." she said, scratching the back of her head slightly.

"why're you sorry? i never said i didnt like it." he chuckled.

"well i just assumed you didnt like it, or want it.. i thought you were just drunk and.. i dont know" she shrugged, blushing from shane's obvious flirting.

"well, for the record, i did like it and i did want it. and i wouldnt be opposed to doing it again." he admitted.

"you want to do it again?" juniper asked, a sparkle in her eye from excitement.

"if you want to.." he said.

"of course i want to" juniper smiled.

shane put his hand on her cheek, juniper shivering from the coldness of his rings and his piercing gaze. she smiled slightly as she leaned in, as did shane. when their lips met, they both felt like fireworks were going off inside. they stayed like this for around 20 seconds before pulling apart, much to juniper and shane's dismay.

"so.. what would this make us?" juniper asked.

"anything you want, although i'd love to be your boyfriend if you'd let me" he smiles.

"i wouldnt mind that.." she giggles, blushing slightly.

"then its settled.. we're a couple" he smiles.

what they didnt know, was that annabelle, violet and harper were watching and giving eachother high fives. even more of a surprise was when dave and taylor were watching from dave's balcony, taylor giving dave a 20 dollar bill while dave chuckled.

Devastated || 10. Register

Paring: (Christopher "Sully" Sullivan x Original Female Character Mance!)

Word Count: 2067

Warnings: slight language, death mention, betrayed

Last: Appearance | Next: Motive

Back in the main area, Jennifer thinks about her other brother she has no clue who he is. "You okay?" Danny asks her.

"He said it's part of their plan." She tells them.

"Their? He has an accomplice?" Sully asks.

"My other brother... he found him and they are bonding, making up lost time." She tells them.

"So there's someone else on this island we don't know about helping him?!" Danny panics.

"We have him locked up. No one we don't know is getting past us to help him get out." Sully tells them.

"What if-," Sully cuts Jen off.

"He's not getting out. And if he wants you he's gotta go through me first." He rubs her shoulders.

"He killed Shane, Sully for helping us girls. He strung him up over an oar... He'll kill you too." Her eyes get watery.

"If so at least it's me trying to help you." He kisses her forehead.

"Hate to ruin the moment but it's funny seeing you two like this. All lovey-dovey." Danny motions between the two.

"I don't care. Now, I'm going to see if I can fix this broken radio."

Abby arrives back at the station with Shea and Madison. Madison talks to Sully as he examines the broken radio, revealing he has knowledge of the inner workings of a radio.

"You just need a new one, I think." Madison tells him so he stops giving her a look trying not to snap at her.

"She's a child..." Jennifer puts an arm around his waist, "But there's gotta be another one somewhere on this island. There has to be." Jennifer looks at the broken one.

"If so it should shoot a beacon of light out of it so we know where it is." He looks at her.

Henry arrives moments later, announcing that Trish and Jimmy have disappeared. Shea mentions Jimmy's criminal record in the attic, causing everyone to suspect him.

"It's not him. Wakefield just told me about my other brother." Jennifer tells the others as Madison says Wakefield wanted to talk to Abby.

Sully reviews Jimmy's run-ins with Wakefield, each time surviving, and Danny suggests the head spade trap could have been set by a fisherman. Shea asks why, and Henry suggests he had been angered by Abby leaving seven years ago. Sully continues on to suggest that he had partnered with Wakefield.

"Please, guys. Just trust me; it's not Jimmy. I know that because my gut tells me." She says as Henry readies to find Trish and Jimmy enters, telling them that she fell at the bluffs.

Jimmy runs to gather supplies to rescue Trish and Henry grabs his rifle. Jimmy pleads for everyone to help Trish as they suspect him. Henry attacks Jimmy, suggesting he killed Trish, and Jimmy continues to plead for them to save her.

"Stop it!" Jennifer gets in front of Henry pushing him back. "It's not him!" She shouts at him.

"You're going to believe what Wakefield tells you?" Henry asks.

"Yes, because why would he lie to me about my other brother? He said he hasn't killed Jimmy because it's to mess with Abby and me and it makes him look suspicious to you guys." She moves to go over to Jimmy. "You aren't touching my brother." She glares at them and Henry huffs.

Abby, Jimmy, Henry, Jennifer, and Sully leave going to the bluffs and calling out for Trish. Jimmy readies the rope to climb down, and Henry suggests Jimmy pushed her off the edge.

At the bottom of the bluffs, Henry and Sully aim their guns at Jimmy, not finding Trish anywhere. Abby and Jennifer both step in front of their rifles, attempting to convince them Jimmy is innocent.

As tensions mount, Trish appears at the top of a bluff nearby. They all run to Trish, and she explains how she fell, before mentioning that she discovered a radio nearby.

Jennifer punches Sully in the chest before they follow Trish to the radio. Jimmy attempts to signal the coast guard using an emergency band. When he fails, Sully takes over attempting to fix the radio.

Sully manages to reach the Seattle coast guard, and Trish explains the situation to them. The coast guard tells her they'll be there in less than four hours, and to have someone stay by the radio.

Sully volunteers to stay with the radio, so Jennifer says she'll stay too. Henry agrees to take Trish to the Candlewick Inn for some dry clothes, and Abby decides to return to the Sheriff's Station with Jimmy.

"You're gonna regret it when Jimmy is cleared." Jennifer tells him as they were alone.

"You can't be too trusting Jen. You haven't known Jimmy for seven years. He could have snapped." He tries to explain to her.

"I know my brother and it's not him and why would Wakefield lie to me? Jimmy isn't his other kid because my dad hates I wasn't his like Jimmy was. Why can't you just trust me?" She takes his hands into hers.

"I'm scared, Jen. And I don't know who to trust. The only person I can clear is you." He tells her.

"If you love me and mean it... you'll trust me." She tells him.

"I do..."

"Then trust me, please." She begs him so he kisses her.

"Okay, I'll trust you."

"Thank you." She kisses him back.

After some time Shea and Madison arrive and informs them that Wakefield has escaped, "We think someone's helping him." Shea tells them.

"Yes, but it's not Jimmy. He never went in the back to see him in the cell so he couldn't have helped him get out." Jennifer says and looks back at Sully.

"Yeah, he's with Abby. They sent us here to find you." Shea agrees.

Sully asks about Danny, and Shea informs him that Danny fought off Wakefield to help them escape. Sully radios the coast guard again, informing them about Wakefield, and is enraged when they tell him they haven't left yet.

Sully notes the boat hanging in the boat house and decides to use it to leave. He tries to talk Jennifer into joining Shea and Madison on the boat but she refuses to go with them.

"I'm not leaving you here alone! I'm not leaving Abby, Jimmy, or Henry either! Plus, Trish is still out there." She fights him as he tries to get her to get on. "NO! I'm staying with you!" She yells.

"Fine!" He gives in as Shea heads off with Madison. "You're stupid." He tells her.

"I know, but I'm not leaving you here. We've known each other for fourteen years, and for eleven of them, you've been trying to get me... now you got me, and I'm not leaving you." She kisses him, "Let's get back to the boat house in case the others go back there. We can also let the coast guards know about Madison and Shea."

Sully radios the coast guard again, informing them of Shea and Madison's boat as Jennifer leans on his back with her arms wrapped around his shoulders as he sits at the radio and neither of them hear Henry enter.

"When the hell are you guys getting here?" Sully asks.

"I'll get back to you in a second with an ETA. Over."

"Yeah, thanks. Take your time." He puts the walkie down, "You should have gone with them." Sully sighs as Henry stays quiet walking to them slowly.

"Maybe but I wasn't leaving your side." She kisses his shoulder as Henry makes the floorboard squeak causing them to jump.

"Henry. Damn it. You scared the hell out of me. Man am I glad to see you." They huh each other.

"Did I hear right? Shea and Madison got off the island?"

"Yeah. Wakefield escape and I had to make sure they were safe. I tried to get Jennifer to go but she wouldn't go with them." Sully tells him.

"Why didn't you go with them?" Henry asks as Jennifer watches him. She hasn't exactly cared for him since he wanted to kill Jimmy. Yeah, Sully did the same but it was different and she couldn't explain it.

"And leave you?" Sully tells him.

"I...I'm impressed. Seriously. That is quite possibly the stupidest thing you've ever done."

Sully talks to the coast guard, while Jennifee watches Henry out of the corner of her eye messing with Sully's gun. Sully agrees to meet their helicopter at the marina in forty-five minutes.

"Jen, why don't you stay here in case Abby and Jimmy or even Trish come back?" Henry suggests not wanting her to go with them.

She looks at Sully not wanting to leave his side, "We'll be fine. Once we find them or if we can't, I'll come back to get you, okay?" Sully walks over to her.

"It's not just Wakefield out there... remember." She tells him scared and nervous about Henry's tiny recent actions. He was her best friend but like Sully said, who can you really trust. She course didn't want to think it was him, but she just confused with him for the past couple of hours.

"I'll be back. I promise you that. As you said, I've been trying to get you... now I got you, and I'm not leaving you." He kisses her while Henry glares at them from the side.

"Be safe, please." She kisses him back. "Henry," She gives him a head nod.

"Of course. Jenny, everything will be right once this is over." He gives her a weak smile as him and Sully leave.

As soon as the door closes, her heart drops and has a bad guy feeling about everything. No one they couldn't have known have slipped past them to help Wakefield escape.

You might already be very close to your brother; who knows?

Jennifer knew the only guys left were Sully, Henry and Jimmy. She knew 100% it wasn't Jimmy or Sully, but Henry...

Everything will be right once this is over. She hears Wakefield say it in her head and then Henry says they exact same thing to her.

"No," She rushes out of the boathouse trusting her gut.

He was the only person that made sense of you go over things. Always defending Abby and her a bit too much. He knew where Trish's dad would stand. He wanted the wedding to be on the island. Plus he locked up Wakefield.

As she was running around looking for them, she could hear a faint yell from Henry in the distance so she follows it running faster than ever.

Both guys keep calling out Trish's name as they walk around looking for her. "You know what I don't get. How Wakefield escape from that jail cell. He must have had help."

"Yeah, but who?" Sully asks.

"One of us it had to be." Henry tells him.

"Well, Jimmy wasn't anywhere near the jail and Jennifer made sure I cleared him as she gave me things to do so." Sully lets him know.

"What about Wakefield's kid? He could have done it."

"Then, he's a ghost. Cause there is no want in hell this guy slipped past us. And we know Jen didn't do it." Sully huffs.

"I locked Wakefield up. I could've slipped him the key." Henry says making Sully confused.

Sully brings up saying if this son was real that be was a wack job like his father so Henry explains he could just be really pissed about the whole thin being lied to.

"Dude. You're creeping me out." Sully stops to look back at him.

"You're right. Sorry. So you and Jennifer?" Henry changes the topic as they keep walking.

"What about it?"

"Got her to fall for your charm?" Henry shoots daggers into his head from behind.

"Turns out I didn't have to try. She said she's had a thing for me since we met. All I had to do was just be open. Why are we talking about us right now?" Sully asks confused.

"I'm just surprised seeing you two kiss. Especially her kissing you back after she said she was smart enough." Henry says so Sully glances back at him.

"She said she scared because of the type of guy I was so she can tell I've changed. Man, what we're going through has changed me and I realize some shit okay." Sully keeps walking.

I know I've offhandedly mentioned my disdain for Pureflix, but I'd like to properly address the reasons why. Ironically, it's plagued by the same problems as woke, far-left Hollywood. In an attempt to place Christians on a pedestal. Pureflix winds up being condescending and making them obnoxiously one-dimensional the way Hollywood does with female and melanin loaded characters.

A prime example of this is found throughout the infamous first God's Not Dead film. For those who don't know, that's the movie where the 'innocent' Christian freshman boy Josh Wheaton essentially goes to existential war with his 'villainous' atheist professor Jeffrey Radisson. Okay, I'll admit this upfront, I personally dislike Joss Whedon- before it was cool to feel that wat- so I enjoyed the film making a cheeky play on his name like that.

The movie is mostly cast well, especially the ones playing the adults like Kevin Sorbo as Jeffrey and Dean Cain as atheist businessman Marc Shelley. Shane Harper as Josh is believable as a wide-eyed Christian raised boy venturing away from his comfort zone for the first time. The real problem is the execution of the story.

Before the many creative issues, so much suspension of disbelief is required not to lose the audience before the 10-minute mark. Yes, many college professors can be total narcissistic, self-absorbed windbags with easily bruised egos. Still, it's hard to imagine one starting a new semester by forcing his students to renounce their faith and/or disrespect their classmates' potential faith on paper. I can see a professor taking the opportunity to forcefeed a student humble pie, but Jeffrey goes from mildly mean-spirited to treating Josh like he's the one who demanded they debate God's existence.

One moment in the film is particularly appalling. In a quiet conversation between just the two of them, Jeffrey reveals to Josh that he used to believe in God before his mother died of cancer. Josh uses this information to distress Jeffrey during the next debate to the point that the older male almost completely breaks down. Josh's reaction to wounding his professor to such an extent is to smugly assert, "How can you hate someone who doesn't exist?" That was jaw-dropping cruelty. He showed not an ounce of compassion.

Now, I don't mean to demonize Josh here. Mainly because for all intents and purposes, he's a child. And honestly, the level he stoops to in order to one-up his professor was likely learned from interacting with Jeffrey. It's not what Josh did but how poorly the writers handle the aftermath of it. So much bad in this movie could have been fixed if they altered Josh's reaction to Jeffrey's sad rage. Josh should have seen Jeffrey as fully human in that moment instead of as his big, tall intimidating professor. He should have apologized and maybe even tried to hug him for letting it go so far. While it happening falls on Jeffrey for starting a pissing contest with a teenage boy, it was such a missed opportunity for fleshing out both of them.

This movie really could have spoken to Christians and even somewhat enjoyable to non-believers if Pureflix had not made everything so black and white. Kevin Sorbo and Shane Harper actually had nice chemistry during their scenes together. Imagine if the writers had dared to be- hear me out- original.

Josh could still be the Christian kid exploring the big ol' world for the first time. Maybe his family did not want him to attend a secular school, but he insisted he could handle it without compromising his faith or running back home in tears. He hears Jeffrey has an anti-Christian reputation and thinks if he make it through that class, he can make it anywhere. So, he starts the class, just waiting for Jeffrey to say something against the faith. Instead of saying anything overt, Jeffrey could comment how interesting Josh's cross is. Josh explains he wears it every day and Jeffrey leaves it at that, confusing Josh.

In addition to the philosophy class, Josh is trying to balance his other work and his very demanding girlfriend. When he scores low on his first paper- where he wrote about the philosophy of Christianity- Josh could accuse him of grading him down out of bias. Jeffrey remains calm, but cautions Josh to be wary of throwing around such accusations without proof. He also rhetorically asks if that cross Josh wears is a symbol of faith or a self-righteous badge of honor. As Josh is left dumbfounded, Jeffrey gives him a chance to make up the paper by doing a presentation in front of the class on the same topic. His grade will be decided by the reactions of his classmates. Josh accepts the challenge.

So determined to prove Jeffrey wrong, Josh neglects his other studies and girlfriend until they break up. All he wants is to hyper prepare for his presentation. He grows more and more frustrated and even starts questioning why he believes. Is it just about his upbringing? Is God real?

After getting downgraded in a couple of his other subjects, Josh comes to philosophy ticked off and just not himself. Jeffrey asks him if he's sure he's alright. Josh insists he's fine and wants to do his presentation. When Josh stumbles during it, Jeffrey cuts him off, declaring they don't have enough time and it will have to wait until the next session. Once they're alone in the classroom, Jeffrey brings up that he heard the boy's been floundering in his other classes.

Josh snaps, believing Jeffrey must be so satisfied but insists he's not giving up, do or die. Jeffrey doesn't react to the pained anger, but does mention he's surprised two of his professors graded him down since they're both devout Christians. This shocks Josh, who had no idea. Jeffrey throws him for another loop when he says that girl trouble is fleeting. Josh wonders how he could possibly know about his breakup. But Jeffrey remains vague and tells him to get going to work on that presentation, clearly quietly admiring his spirit, however stubborn.

When Josh goes to his other classes the next day, those professors heard he's been dealing with a lot of issues at the expense of his health and offer him extra credit options. Josh later finds Jeffrey in the man's office and demands to know why he helped him, assuming Jeffrey only wants Josh to submit to him and kiss his ring. Jeffrey only notes that the boy looks like hell and asks when was the last time he ate.

They go to a restaurant near Jeffrey's house, where he buys dinner for them both. Josh wonders why they didn't just eat in the school dining hall, but Jeffrey wanted a more private setting. He wants to know what's going on with Josh. The boy finally lets loose all the strife pressure he's under. He broke up with the only girl he ever dated and has been avoiding his family thinking they'll blame him for the breakup. He has to come home with stellar grades to prove he can handle everything. Josh bets Jeffrey considers him pretty pathetic.

Jeffrey tells him his primary feeling towards Josh is deja vu. Jeffrey remembers what it's like to be an unwaivering freshman believing he knows everything, determined to prove his professors wrong at all costa. He and Josh might have different beliefs, but share strong convictions. Moved, Josh apologizes for never giving Jeffrey a chance and even offers just to accept his original grade. Jeffrey says he's not getting off that easily and he aspects Josh to use the upcoming Sabbath for actual rest because come Monday, he has a presentation due. He also points out that, FYI, the Sabbath technically starts at sundown on Friday. Josh gets a good joke in, "Congratulations on acing first-grade Sunday School, Prof."

*Insert montage of Josh studying, making up with his girlfriend, sleeping, praying in earnest, etc*

Josh gives his presentation with a full, better informed heart and mind. He wins over the class enough to walk away with a B. Alone in the class again, Jeffrey commends Josh but also critiques what areas he needs to sharpen up if he really wants those stellar grades. Now, in awe of the man, Josh doesn't understand how such a decent guy has no moral compass. Jeffrey responds by reciting Scripture to him, reminding him that like the Good Samaritan, allies can come from where you least expect.

Before a more humbled Josh leaves, Jeffrey admits that he knows why Josh did not trust him initially. Jeffrey used to be a loud and hotheaded with his atheism and his more bullying methods almost ruined his career and worse, nearly drove a former student of his to the edge. It was a long time ago, but his tyrannical reputation has yet to fully recover. Jeffrey goes on to say that while he'll likely always be a skeptic, but encourages Josh to never lose his conviction.

We next see Josh taking his girlfriend to that Newsboys concert so that we can hear that song we all somehow agree is good. That night, Josh goes online to see the improvement in his grades. Excited to tell Jeffrey and thank him again the next day, Josh deflates when the professor doesn't come in. One of the faculty members enters to tell the class that Professor Radisson was in a serious car accident last night and is hospitalized. They're all shell-shocked, especially Josh.

As soon as he's done in school, Josh buys a card and goes to see Jeffrey in the hospital. The nurses can't give out info to non-family members. Josh pleads to see him for just a second, but the nurses remain evasive. Then, the two ministers show up and overhear, having just visited Jeffrey's sister. They tell Josh that they were the ones who waited with the professor until paramedics arrived. They then have to report that Jeffrey passed only an hour ago. At Josh's shattered expression, they go on to tell him that before he lost consciousness, Jeffrey accepted Christ as his Savior. They claim Jeffrey is at home with God.

A devastated Josh bitterly snaps at them to shut up. "He's not home! He can't ever go home again. Or teach again. Professor Radisson is dead! And as far as I'm concerned, so is God." Leaving the men shocked, he runs off.

Once back in his dorm, a completely outraged Josh kicks and throws things around. He even takes his Bible and throws it across the room.

*Insert melancholy montage of Josh going through the robotic motions and not wearing his cross anymore*

On the day of the funeral, his girlfriend tries to encourage him to go. Josh has no interest in losing it in front of people nor does he feel worthy because he spent most of his time with Jeffrey antagonizing him. His girlfriend brings up how he's neglecting school again and if the professor was there, he wouldn't accept that from Josh.

It's difficult, but Josh gets dressed for the funeral. He starts going to class again as well. When Thanksgiving break comes, he and his girlfriend go home. Josh's family apologizes for making him feel like he couldn't come to them. Josh admits he let his pride get in the way too much. It ends with them around the table, saying what they're thankful for. Josh is, of course, grateful to have known Jeffrey and God for giving them both second chances.

Roll credits, play cool song.

That might sound pretty corny to a lot of you, but it's much more relatable than the puke productions of Pureflix. Fleshing out Josh and Jeffrey makes all those subplots in the movie unnecessary. No one is made into a monster or as purely virtuous. We're all humans trying to navigate this world and we need to be compassionate and don't become the very enemies we detest. Also, a reminder that your 'own kind' won't automatically be the ones loyally supporting you. Show an elder trying to understand the younger generation and have the kid appreciate the wisdom. It would be way more devastating for Josh and the audience to never have seen Jeffrey's accident or get foreshadowing about it. Yes, he still converts but the tragedy of his gruesome death isn't sugar-coated because of it. Also, lots of people have gone through college burnout and struggled with depression and grief from a sudden loss. Christians do get downright angry at God and struggle with the faith. The Bible never once promised believers an easy road- quite the opposite honestly.

You know, I'm not really a fan of short stories, but this version sounds like an interest- good night, all 💓

Devastated || 2. Untimely

Paring: (Christopher "Sully" Sullivan x Original Female Character Mance!)

Word Count: 1918

Warnings: slight language

Last: The Island | Next: Fumble

The next day everyone was supposed to be teamed up to do a scavenger hunt, so Jennifer dressed comfortably for the day.

"Oh, Jen!" Henry calls out to her as she walks in front of him someway so she turns around to face him, "For the scavenger hunt, we had a say in teams, so I made sure you weren't stuck with Sully for the day." He lets her know. "You should be yellow, and he should be blue. Trish wanted to put him with you, but I talked her out of it. I know you hate his flirting."

"You didn't have to do that, but I appreciate the thought." She laughs, walking with him to join the others.

"Look, we're all on the same team." Sully comes back from talking to Cal with a yellow bandanna.

Jennifer just looks at him, making Danny laugh, which catches Henry's attention, "Jennifer," He calls her over, "I'll let you join another team."

"Babe," Trish sighs.

"No, it's fine. Really, I can put up with him. Thank you, though. Now you two have fun." Jennifer winks at them going to join Danny, Chloe, Booth, and Sully.

The scavenger hunt wasn't that fun, and at the moment, Chloe wanted to go see where Wakefield was buried. "Wouldn't you kinda know where he is?" Chloe asks Jennifer as they look for it while the guys don't.

"I left the island before they did it. My mom, who got away, got me off the island."

"You're mom almost died?" Chloe asks, shocked.

"Yeah, and there he is." Jennifer points ahead.

"I'm gonna go tell the guys." Chloe leaves her side. She comes back with just Sully, "The guy at the museum told me they wouldn't bury him in consecrated land."

"He killed six people, almost seven. He doesn't even deserve this." Jennifer stares at the headstone, so Chloe makes her way back to the group.

"Almost seven?" Sully asks, confused.

"My mom..." She looks at him, "That's one of the reasons why she sent me away from here. The other was because she doesn't, didn't, believe he's really there." She looks back at the grave.

Sully looks at her, slowly leaning towards her to kiss her, so she leans away, making him stand up straight so she looks at him, "You never give up, do you? Even when it is obviously not a good time." Jennifer sighs, "Sully, it's been eleven years. You're a good guy, but you never think with the right head, and that's what doesn't help you with me." She lets him know before going to join the others, telling them she's done with the scavenger hunt.

Instead of going to the Inn, she goes to the docks to hopefully find Jimmy working, and luckily he was there, "Aren't you doing a scavenger hunt?" He sees her walking towards him.

"I quit because of a certain attractive 6'1 with blonde hair, blue eyes, and whose name is Christopher but goes by his last name but shorter." She explains to him.

"You having boy trouble?"

"He hasn't given up in eleven years, Jimmy." She takes a seat.

"Eleven years?! I didn't know it was that long."

"He's a playboy and thinks with the wrong head. I just don't wanna get hurt. Like he's already eyeing Chloe while flirting with me." She explains to him.

"I'm guessing you already told him in a kind way to give up?" He stops working a bit.

"You remember how I said eleven years, right? Of course, I told him. And then I'm having a moment about Mom making me leave at Wakefield's grave, and he tries kissing me."

"Yeah, he doesn't use the right head." Jimmy laughs.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I left... I'm sorry I never came back. And I'm sorry for leaving you to deal with our parents' death, but I couldn't do it. I had my reason why I didn't come back and why I was okay with Mom sending me away." Jennifer changes the topic, so he listens to her, "Dad hated me because of mom. After Mom was almost murdered, she went crazy with me and demanded I had to leave because she didn't believe Wakefield was dead and he would take me from her. Then Dad threatened me that if I ever stepped foot on this island, I would regret it. I was scared to come back home."

"Why do you think Dad hated you?" Jimmy walks towards her.

"I didn't think I knew because I heard them arguing one night. Jimmy, we have different dads. Mom had an affair with some guy she knew when she was around our age. Mom never told Dad who the guy was, and I for sure have no idea who. That's why he hated me. He thought I was his, and I wasn't."

Jimmy pulls his sister into his arms, hugging her as she tries not to cry, "I'm not mad or upset you left. And I never answered you because I didn't want you to come back. I thought you would be better off the island."

"Asshole," She laughs as she takes a seat and watches him for some time as they chat a bit.

"Permission to come aboard!" Henry comes towards the boat, "You quit too?" He laughs, seeing Jennifer.

"Sully," She smiles.

"Not surprised. Also nice. This is yours?"

"Yeah, I finally ponied up. Got it last spring." Jimmy tells him.

"Hey, listen, um, I wanted to come down here and make sure we're still cool. I know my brother and Shane got into it last night."

"Okay, that's been going on since we were kids. Come on, that never affected you and me." Jimmy tells him.

"Eh, still... I had a talk with JD earlier. I asked him to cool it until after the wedding."

"If you're asking me to talk to Shane, that's not going to change anything. It's just the way he is. Come on, you worked with him. You know how he is. Jen, especially knows first hand being his ex." Jimmy tells him so she nods her head.

"Uh... so listen, we're having a party tonight. A bonfire down at Harmon Beach. It should be fun. If you and Shane want to come by, hang out, we're gonna have a lot of food and cold beer." Henry invites him.

"I don't know. Tonight's going to be tough."

"Okay. Just wanted to invite you for old-time sake. Plus, I'm sure your sister misses you." He adds.

"I appreciate it."

"Well, I'm gonna go back with Hen. It was nice talking." Jennifer hugs Jimmy goodbye.

On the way back to the Inn, Henry asks what exactly did Sully do to make her quit the scavenger hunt.

"He tried kissing me after I said my Mom got away from Wakefield. At Wakefield's grave."

"I'm so sorry." Henry apologizes.

"You don't need to apologize for him. He's an adult that can apologize for his own actions. I wouldn't have a problem with him if he just took advice from us." Jennifer laughs.

"I'll talk to him."

"No, don't do that. Really, Henry. He won't listen now if he hasn't in the past." Jennifer begs him, "For me, don't."

"Since you asked, I won't."

"Thank you." She says as they arrive, so she goes straight to her room.

As she walks in, she sees a letter on the floor, so she picks it up to read it; Jennifer, on the outside. She opens up the envelope, taking the letter out to read it.

Have you ever wondered who your real father was? Being kept from him?

Jennifer puts the letter away, throwing it into the trash can. Only Jimmy knew because she just told him, so who the hell wrote that letter to put into her room.

After some time, there was a knock at her door, and she opened it to see Sully, "I want to apologize. No, Henry didn't come find me and give me a speech. Like you said, it was an inappropriate time, and yeah, I'm not the best guy..."

"I didn't say you were a bad guy. I said you're a good guy, but you never think with the right head. You want me to fall for your charm but you also eye Chloe from a distance. Tell me, Sully... how do you think that will work?" She lets him into her room.

"To be fair, I was hoping it would make you kind of jealous." He sits at the end of her bed.

"So for eleven years, every girl you come across near me you flirt with is to make me jealous? Yeah, I don't believe that." She sits next to him.

"Most were, but again I'm sorry. I should have noticed after eleven years of nothing, I should've given up."

"Change some, and you would be surprised. Now, get out of my room. I'll see you at the party." Jennifer gets up from the bed. Sully gets up, nodding his head with a slight smile leaving the room.

At the bonfire at night, everyone was having a good time eating and drinking. "Did you see that? I did it." Sully was happy with himself juggling.

"Not jaw-dropping but a small applause." Jennifer gives him one holding her beer.

"Thank you, my lady, for being the only one to care."

The sound of a punch makes everyone look to see Henry standing while Shane was on the ground. Jennifer goes over to get closer to hear them.

"Come on." Henry says but Shane just leaves.

Jennifer watches some before following him, "What the hell did you do now?"

"I didn't do shit. I have no idea what he's talking about. If I did something, you really think I would show up?" Shane steps closer to her.

"I don't know, you're pretty messed up."

"Believe whatever you want because I don't care." He tells her.

"Okay," She turns to go back to the party.

"Jimmy told me you guys talked and settled things." He speaks up.

"Yeah, I did. What about it, Shane?" She turns back around.

"Seven years ago, did you really what to fix things between us or?" He asks.

"I did, yes. But that was seven years ago. I'm sorry how things were left and I'm sorry we never got to end us on good terms." Jennifer tells him then goes back to the party.

"Hey, where did you go?" Danny asks as she joins them again.

"Talk to Shane and apologize for something in the past." She takes a seat, confusing him.

"They used to date before she left and it was on bad terms." Abby lets him know.

"You used to date that?" Sully looks at her.

"I did for five years. I know, don't add any comments, please." She begs him.

"Cal! Has anyone seen my cute little Englishman?" Chloe walks around.

"Oh, man." Jennifer hears Sully.

"Sully, why did you go, oh man?" She gets up.

"I might have forgotten to get him help... He's hanging upside down in the woods..." He tells her so he, Chloe, Jennifer, Malcolm, and Abby go find him.

Once they do, Chloe rushes over to him and Cal was slightly unconscious from hanging upside down for too long. "How do you forget about him?" Jen looks at Sully.

"I went to apologize to you, so I got sidetracked. I'm sorry." He apologizes.

"Don't tell me sorry; tell them." She points at the two.
