Fox River - Pilot Part 3
***Lincoln's POV***
He is being escorted back in from the yard. He is walking through the visiting center and looks up. His heart skips a beat. There signing out is Jessica. He wonders what she is doing here. She is still as beautiful as ever. That girl was the love of his life and he let her get away all because of one stupid mistake.
He hasn't seen her in almost two years. He would give anything just to talk to her one more time and to hold her and kiss her and tell her that he still loves her. His heart aches just from seeing her walk away and out the door not even knowing that he was standing right there. Now he had a new vision for his dreams tonight.
Earlier he had a strange feeling that someone was close by and now he knew that he got that feeling because she was there.
****************
Jess walks out of the prison after signing out. She almost turns around but doesn't. She has a strange feeling. A feeling she always used to get when she was around Lincoln. She makes it out to her car but stops when she sees Veronica heading towards her.
"Hey, can we talk for a minute?" Veronica asks her. Jess sighs in frustration but turns around.
"Yea we can talk." she states.
" I just want to say that I am so sorry for everything that I have done. I miss you so much, Jess. I just want my sister back." she says with tears in her eyes.
Jess looks like she is about ready to cry too. She just stands there not knowing what to do until she finally walks toward Veronica and engulfs her in a big hug.
"I've missed you too." she whispers to her.
Later that night she finally makes it home. She has to change her clothes because she is meeting both Trisha and Veronica for dinner and drinks in an hour.
She walks passed her phone and sees she has a voicemail. She presses play as she walks over to the table to check her mail.
'Miss Donovan. You don't know me but I know you. You may think that Lincoln Burrows is guilty but you're wrong. I need you to investigate what really happened. You know in your heart that your husband is innocent.'
She stands there in shock.
She goes to her cordless and tries to look up the call history. The number is blocked and there is no way of tracing the number.
She sits on the couch and starts thinking. What if Lincoln really is innocent?
She gets the call in the middle of the night. She shows up at the Bishop's house.
"Hey." She greets a fellow detective as she walks up the front stairs to the bedroom.
"So definitely murdered. No sign of forced entry or any prints that they have found yet." he relays the information to her.
"The Bishop? Why do I know that name?" she questions out loud.
The other detective shrugs.
"I have no idea. I know he had a tremendous amount of influence with the Governor and lawyers always pleading their cases to him hoping that he will take them to the Governor." he comments before walking away.
She walks up and looks at the dead body. Then it all comes back to her.
Veronica said something about getting a meeting with the Bishop about Lincoln's case.
She hopes that this isn't connected but she has a feeling that it is.
The next morning she walks into Veronica's office. She knocks lightly causing her sister to look up from her desk.
"Hey Jess what are you doing here?" she asks her.
"I have some bad news V." she says walking to stand in front of the desk.
"Bishop McMoore was murdered last night. Someone had shot him while he was sleeping. I thought you would want to know since you had a meeting with him." she informs her.
Veronica takes a breath and sits back in her chair in shock.
"You don't think this has to do with Lincoln do you?" she asks Jessica.
"I have no idea. The only reason I put the connection together is because I remember you saying something to me yesterday." Jessica states before looking over and seeing the calendar.
Circled in red marker was May 11th; the execution date for Lincoln.
"You have it marked too?" she asks her pointing at the calender.
She watches as Veronica stands up and goes to her filing cabinet. She pulls out a big envelope.
"This is everything in Lincoln's case. I want you to help me please. This is no coincidence. I'm starting to think that someone set Lincoln up. Will you help me?" Veronica asksJessica.
She opens her mouth but closes it before opening it again.
"No. I'm sorry but I can't."
She walks out of the office quickly before Veronica can see her heartbreaking tears.
Jason finds her later sitting on a bench. He sits down next to her.
"Hey. Are you OK?" he asks grabbing her hand.
She looks at their hands together before sighing.
"I'm fine." she says looking at him with a smile.
He looks like he doesn't believe her but he lets it go.
**Lincoln's POV**
He sees that Michael found his way into PI. When he has the chance he is going to ask him about Jessica. Once they finish painting for the day he finds his opportunity.
"I saw Jessica come by yesterday." he says to Michael as they put the equipment away.
"She still with that guy?" he pries not knowing if he wants to know the answer.
"Yep." Michael states.
"That should be me." he says heartbroken.
"If you hadn't self-destructed and made out with Veronica you two would probably still be married." Michael snipes at him not showing any pity to him.
"You think I meant to make out with Veronica? I was drunk. I was just talking to her about my problems then one thing led to another then Jess walked in. If I could take it all back I would in a heartbeat." Lincoln tells his brother with sincerity.

Fox River - Pilot Part 2
When Jess gets to the station she has a missed call on her phone.
She reads the message and it is from Veronica saying that Michael was sentenced to five years in Fox River.
She puts the phone down and takes a deep breath to stop herself from crying. Before she can compose herself Jason walks over.
"Hey how did it go?" he asks sitting down beside her at his desk.
"Something just isn't right about this. He didn't even put up a fight. That's not like him at all." she says before looking up at him.
"I'm sorry you probably don't want to hear about this." she says to him.
He grabs her hand and gently squeezes.
"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to know." he tells her softly with a smile.
"Alright, we have a possible drug deal going down. I've just been informed that CPD wants a couple of our people down there for backup." the captain states as he walks into the room.
"Clarke and Donovan I want you two to take this. It's possible that you know the kid involved." he states looking at Jessica.
Jessica looks up in confusion.
"Who is the kid they've been trailing?" she asks.
"LJ Burrows." the captain informs her.
She looked up in shock and grabbed her coat.
"Let's go I'm driving." she states to Jason as she heads out ahead of him.
Jason looks over at her.
They sit in the car and wait for the deal to go down.
"If you want to talk to me about any of this, I will be willing to listen." he tells her.
She looks over at him and smiles.
"Thank you for being so understanding about all this. Its just nerve wrecking. I haven't spoke to Michael in almost a year, and it break my heart to look at LJ. I love that kid so much and I hate that he has to go through all of this." she spills to him.
"Do you still love him?" Jason asks her.
She looks at him with confusion.
"Lincoln I mean." he clarifies with an awkward small laugh.
She opens her mouth to respond but movement out of the corner of her eye catches her attention.
She spots LJ and another boy pull up on bikes.
The boys talk to the suspect for a couple minutes then see him get in his trunk and pull out two packages of weed.
The boys put them in their backpacks and head out.
"Show time." Jason says as Jessica pulls the car forward to block their path from heading out of the alley.
She gets out of the car and looks over at LJ with a hurt look.
"Hey." Jessica speaks into the phone.
He looks at her back with a deer caught in headlights look.
"Hey, how are you doing?" her sister Trish responds back through the phone.
"Are you busy? I can swing by for lunch and talk." Jessica asks back hopeful.
"Of course, stop by I can do lunch." Trish responds back.
"Great. I'll see you in an hour." Jess hangs up and sits her cell on her desk.
Luckily since LJ is a minor he just gets a slap on the wrist and gets to go home. She watches as Lisa picks him up. She used to Lisa with a passion.
She's the one that had Lincoln's child and not her. But she has to remind herself that she's divorced from him and has no more ties to him.
LJ looks back at her as he left and gives her a small wave. She waves back and watches him leave with his mom. Jason walks over to her.
"Having to deal with two family members in a week how ever will you manage?" he jokes.
She just gives him a look.
"Do you want to grab lunch?" he asks lightly
"Can't I told my sister I'd be over to have lunch with her." she informs him.
"Awl OK, well where does she work I'll drop you off." she just shakes her head.
"That's OK. I'll drive I'll see you later." she gives him a small peck on the lips and heads out of the station.
Since Trish works at Fox River as a therapist Jess has to go through a bunch of security. She comes upon this one CO who looks like he has a bad attitude.
"OK, Miss Donovan I'm going to need you to leave the gun." he informs her with an attitude.
"Excuse me?" she questions as she fills out the visitor log.
"No. I don't have to leave my gun. I'm not going in the section with the inmates I'm going on the Wing B. So unless somehow you get a higher rank than me" she gives him an attitude.
" I suggest you don't tell me to leave my gun behind." she states pushing past him and seeing his name on his shirt.
She turns around to face him.
"Oh, Bellick was it? I would lose the attitude. I could have your job in a second." she gets the last word as he just glares.
She walks to the B wing where her sister's office is. She comes to the door and knocks lightly. A minute later a guy opens the door with Trish right behind him.
"Jess! Hey right on time." she says to her and looks over at the guy.
"Thanks, Paul for stopping by. I'll make sure to keep in contact." she says to him before he says his goodbyes and leaves.
Jess looks over to Trish.
"So who was that?" she asks teasingly.
Trish rolls her eyes playfully and holds the door open wider for Jess.
" I wish there was something more that I can do for him." Jess says after she takes a bite of her burger.
"An old friend." she states and Jess walks in past her with a bag of takeout.
"For LJ you mean?" Trish asks taking a sip of her drink.
"Yes. He's so upset and confused. It can't be easy on him first his dad now his uncle." she answers in a small voice.
Trish gives her a pointed look.
"You are not responsible for LJ anymore. You can't be putting your name on the line for him anymore. He has a mom Jess. Just because you got attached when you were married to Lincoln doesn't mean you need to play mother now." Trish lectures.
"I know you're right. It's just hard sometimes. I loved Lincoln so much and put so much into our marriage. What he did with Veronica was just too unforgiving. I know that it was just a kiss, they claim that it was all it was. But I couldn't take that chance that anything else could have happened. Does that make me a shitty wife and sister?" she asks Trish desperately.
"No." she states with a solid voice.
" You did the right thing. But Veronica is our sister after all. I think you should at least talk to her. She misses you and I know you miss her." Trish says just as her phone rings.
Jess gets up and looks out the window. Her heart almost stops beating when she spots him. She sees Lincoln looking out through the fence. Even though she is far away she could tell that he is lonely.
As if sensing someone watching him he turns and looks up in her direction. She panics and moves from the window, hoping that he doesn't see her.
She turns back to Trish.
"Hey, I have to get going." Jess says to her.
"Yea of course. Call me later maybe we'll do dinner. Maybe Hank and I will double with you and Jason." Trish offers.
Jess smiles at the gesture.
As she heads back down she sees Veronica sitting in on visitation with Michael. She decides to sign herself in and go talk to him. She walks over to them.
"Yea sounds good."
"Hey mind if I join you?" she asks sitting down beside Veronica.
"Hey." Veronica greets looking shocked.
"What are you doing here?" she asks her sister.
"Well I was upstairs having lunch with Trish and I saw you guys and I figured I'd stop and talk for a minute." she answers her sister.
Jessica looks over at Michael.
"OK, what are you doing? Don't think I don't know you didn't want to be sent here on purpose." she scolds him.
" Remember I grew up with the both of you. You two have the most dysfunctional idea of love I have ever seen. He beats you up to keep you off the streets and you get yourself thrown right in here with him."
She looks at Michael as he looks at her back.
"To do what? Save him? Believe me, I've tried. I loved him just as much as you did." She says to him.
He scoffs lightly at her.
"Past tense for you maybe but not me." he says right back to her looking her right in the eye.
"It is not that easy OK. I saw him. He was making out with Veronica!" she says pointing to her sister but not looking at her.
Veronica has a look of shame on her face.
"What was I supposed to do? Stick around and wait for it to happen again? I loved Lincoln with my whole heart and he broke it." she says to him trying not to cry.
"Did you even try to talk to him to get his side of things? But you just shut him down not even giving him a chance to explain. You don't know things could have worked out." he snaps at her trying to get her to see.
"Look Michael whatever you're thinking about doing don't I'm already appealing your case." Veronica informs him drawing his attention away from Jessica.
He looks at her angrily.
"I told you to leave that alone." he snaps at her.
"I've got in touch with the Bishop about Lincoln's case he might be able to help." Veronica says to him desperately.
"That won't stop it. It will only delay it." he informs her.
"Wait a minute why are you reopening Lincoln's case?" Jessica questions Veronica.
"You both want to do something for me? You find out who is trying to bury my brother." he asks of them.
Jess looks at him in confusion.
"Nobody is setting him up Michael, the evidence was all there I know I was on the case." Jessica says to him.
Michael shakes his head.
"The evidence was planted." he whispers to them.
Jess looks like she doesn't believe him, but Veronica looks like she is going to investigate. The buzzer sounds stating that visiting hours are over. Jess and Veronica stand up to hug Michael.
"Please you have to believe me. Someone wants him to take the fall for this. I know my brother and you should know him too Jess you were married to him for four years." he says desperately.
Jess sighs not wanting to hear anymore as she says goodbye to Michael and walks off.

*Pogue for Life* Welcome to Kitty Hawk Part 2
She manages to cry all her tears and fix her face as she pulls into the airstrip.
She instantly spots her friends pacing anxiously.
She grabs her bag and jumps out of the car.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to take so long. I had two places to stop." she manages to say.
"Have you heard from Kie?" Pope asks her.
"No. Is she not here yet?" Jo questions.
"We might have to just leave without her." John B says.
"We can't okay man. We started this thing together and damn it we're gonna finish it together." JJ says.
"How are we gonna do that? Her parents won't let any of us near her." Sarah exclaims.
"Pope, Cleo, will you two come with me to get her? We don’t leave a Pogue behind." JJ asks.
"I'm in. We need Kie. What you say Gray Pipe?" Cleo asks.
Pope looks at his friends before he answers.
"Let's go get Kiara."
JJ swipes the keys from John B.
"You guys have an hour. If you're not back I'm gonna kill all of you." John B threatens.
Jo grabs JJ's arm stopping him in front of her.
"Please be careful." she says.
He gives her a smirk.
"I'm always careful baby." he kisses her cheek.
Jo grabs his face and pulls him closer as her lips touch his.
She feels his hands wrap around her hips as the kiss deepens.
JJ pulls away first and lays his forehead on hers.
"I'm always gonna love you. No matter what."
JJ pulls away from her with a smile as he runs toward the twinkie.
Sarah, John B, and Jo watch as JJ drives away with Pope and Cleo hoping to bring Kie back with them.
Sarah walks over to Jo.
"How did it go with Rafe?" she asks.
Jo shakes her head.
"He didn't take it well. But it had to be done." she tells her.
Sarah gives her a strange look.
"Are you sure you're okay? You've been acting really strange the last few days. I can't help but think something is really off." Sarah presses.
"I just ended things with your brother, probably for good. I told JJ that we can't be anything because I need to figure out my life. I can't help but think that I made a mistake, I just don't know which one." she laughs.
"I know you cared about Rafe and I know he cared about you too. Thank you for being there when everyone else just walked away. That means more than you know."
They hear a car pull up and they turn to see Topper's jeep come to a stop.
"Oh, God." Sarah mumbles.
Topper gets out of the jeep and walks over to them.
"Hey, Sarah. Hey Joanna. What are you guys doing? Are you seeing John B off or what?" he questions.
Jo pushes Topper back from Sarah.
"What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here." Jo tells him.
Topper laughs.
"That's funny because I was under the impression that John B was leaving by himself. Isn't that right Sarah?" Topper turns his attention to her.
"You told me that John B was leaving and that you were staying here with me. So are you going with him?" Topper questions.
Jo glances at John B who is glancing at Sarah.
"Yes or no Sarah. Are you going with him?" Topper pushes.
She nods her head.
"I'm sorry Topper. I really am." Sarah replies.
Topper scoffs at her.
"You're just a damn liar Sarah Cameron. I can't keep doing this to myself anymore."
Topper then turns his attention to John B.
"You're damn lucky that I didn't decide to fight back that night."
Topper takes a step forward and Jo shoots her arm out to block him.
"Don't do this. You're not making anything better." Jo tries to reason with him.
Topper turns his glare onto Joanna.
"But you, what was all that talk about wanting to be closer and spend more time together?" Topper questions.
"I meant all of that. My leaving has nothing to do with wanting to spend time with you. Deep down you knew Sarah would always choose John B. You just chose to ignore that."
Topper scoffs at her.
"Did she tell you that she made me believe she was staying here with me?" Topper shakes his head.
"You know, you both can just go to hell for all I care. You used me just as bad as she did." Topper accuses.
Jo shakes her head.
"No, I didn't. I meant every word to you Top. I don't want it to end like this for us." Jo argues.
"Look around you, Joanna! You've made your choice. So now I'm making mine."
He walks back to his jeep.
"You all have a nice life." He shouts to them before he gets in his jeep and drives away.
Jo grabs Sarah's hand.
"Are you okay?" she asks her friend.
"I don't regret the choice I made. But I do feel bad about how I used him." Sarah tells her.
"I know. Me too."
Sarah and Jo sit on the plane steps.
John B's phone rings.
He walks away to answer it.
He talks on the phone for a minute then walks back over to the girls.
"We have a problem. Kie's parents really sent her off to that wilderness camp. JJ, Cleo, and Pope are headed there now to break her out." John B informs them.
"I gave them about five hours to try to break her out. If they're not back in time, we're gonna have to leave without them." John B says.
Jo and Sarah share a worried look.
*************************
A few hours later it is starting to get dark and a storm is brewing.
John B is pacing in front of the plane anxiously.
"John B will you sit down please? It won't do you any good to get yourself worked up like this." Jo tries to reason.
"This is a total disaster. We should have been in the air already headed there." John B rants.
"We know. We give them another hour then we leave. They'll understand." Sarah says calmly.
Jo gives her a look.
"You don't know JJ very well, do you? He would never speak to any of us again. I cant leave without him." Jo shakes her head.
"We might not have a choice." Sarah argues.
"We don't leave anyone behind! Haven't we all done that enough?!" Jo raises her voice at Sarah.
"Topper may have already called the police! We need to go!" Sarah argues.
They hear a vehicle approaching quickly.
"Get on the plane now." John B orders as they start rushing to the plane.
Jo looks behind her and she recognizes the truck approaching them.
"Guys, wait. I know who that is." Jo says as she stops and turns.
The truck door opens and her dad steps out.
Sarah and John B watch as Jo rushes over to her dad.
"What are you doing here?" she questions.
"I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. You have never been one of them. You were right about a lot of things. I haven't been a very good father to you or a good friend to Big John. I wanna make that up by coming with you. You, kids, are still way out of your depth with this. So let me help you." Buzz speaks to his daughter.
Jo throws her arms around her dad.
"Thank you. This means a lot to us, to me." she tells him.
He pulls away.
"I'm proud of you for sticking up for what you believe in. You remind me a lot of myself when I was your age." he tells her.
He grabs a small backpack from the backseat.
"I grabbed some extra medical supplies and some money. We're gonna need them." he tells the kids.
"Thank you, Uncle Buzz, for deciding to come help. It may just end up being just us and we can use all the help we can get." John B tells him.
Buzz lays a hand on John B's shoulder.
"We're gonna get your dad back. If I know anything it's that your dad knows how to survive any situation. We'll get him back."
They turn their heads when they hear a motorcycle heading toward the plane.
Jo's eyes widen as she recognizes the bike.
The bike stops in front of them and Rafe takes off his helmet.
He has Ward sitting behind him.
Rafe locks eyes with Jo as he gets off the bike and Ward falls to the ground.
"Ward? What the hell?" Buzz questions.
"Help! Somebody help!" Rafe yells out as he tries to pick Ward up off the ground.
With a glare, Buzz rushes over and grabs a hold of Ward to a stand.
Together Buzz and Rafe carry an injured Ward into the plane.
"This cannot be happening." Sarah mumbles as she follows them onto the plane.
"What the fuck." Jo mutters.
She glances at John B who looks angry.
"Are you okay?" she asks him.
John B runs his fingers through his hair nervously.
"I-I don't know." he answers.
Sarah gets off the plane and rushes over to them.
Thunder rumbles in the distance.
"A fisherman spotted him and knows that he's alive. He can't stay here. If he stays here he gets arrested." Sarah tells them.
"I don't think you understand Sarah. I don't know if I can get on a plane with that guy." John B argues.
"Listen, this is his plane. I can't stop him from leaving. He's still gonna give us a ride to Orinoco. So if you don't wanna get on the plane, I get it." Sarah rushes out at him.
"If you don't wanna do this, we can find another way John B." Jo tries to keep her voice calm.
John B shakes his head.
"There is no other way. We have to go." John B tells them.
Jo watches as John B grabs Sarah's face.
"If you're going then I'm going." he says.
They hear police sirens in the distance.
They all look at each other panicked.
"We gotta get on that plane. Text JJ and tell him we have to leave now!" John B says to Jo.
Jo pulls out her phone as Rafe steps out of the plane.
She looks up and they lock eyes.
He turns his glance to Sarah.
Jo sends a quick message to JJ and tells him that they had to leave cops were on their way.
She looks up and sees Sarah walk past Rafe and get on the plane.
She stands frozen as John B walks toward the plane.
Rafe stops him from passing him.
"If you do anything to him, anything, I swear I'll find you."
She hears Rafe say to John B.
She starts moving forward, but stops as he speaks again to him.
"Please look after Joanna. She is the most important person to me. I would die if anything happened to her."
Her breath catches in her throat at his words.
John B doesn't say a word as he passes around Rafe to get in the plane.
Rafe finally glances at Jo and walks over to her with a purpose.
He grabs her face in his hands and pulls her lips to his.
He kisses her like it's the last time he's gonna see her.
He finally breaks the kiss and the both of them are out of breath.
"Rafe, I-"
She stops talking as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out her rings.
He shoves them back into her hand.
"These belong with you. I don't want them." he says to her.
He lets her go and heads back to his bike.
She starts walking to the plane.
"Jo-"
She turns at the sound of his voice.
"You and I belong together. We were each other's firsts for so many things."
He pauses and she waits for him to continue.
"No matter what happens, I plan on being your last everything." he promises.
Her eyes widen at his words and moves to take a step towards him.
The police sirens are getting closer.
"Go! I love you!" Rafe shouts to her.
She nods her head and turns to get on the plane.
She turns and locks eyes with Rafe one last time before she disappears from his view.
She sits down and watches out the window as Ward speaks to Rafe.
She sees the flashing lights in the distance.
"We gotta go!" Sarah shouts to them.
Rafe steps back from the plane and he finds her face in the window.
His eyes look so sad and heartbroken.
She blows him a kiss and mouths 'I love you' to him.
The plane takes off and she feels the plane take off.
****************************************
Jo is helping her dad bandage Ward who is still bleeding from his leg.
He groans in pain as Jo applies pressure to the wound.
"Quit whining like a baby. We got the bleeding to stop."
Buzz reaches into his bag and pulls out a pill bottle.
"Aspirin, for the pain." he states.
Jo stands up and rushes to the bathroom.
The smell of the blood makes her feel nauseous.
She makes it just in time before she throws up in the toilet.
Once she finishes she washes her mouth out and walks back out of the bathroom.
Her dad is standing by the door.
"You doing okay kid?" he asks her.
"Yea, it's just nerves." she tells him.
"Okay. Everybody is sleeping. I'm gonna go talk to the pilot. I need you to apply this cream to Ward's wound. And check the bandages. Can you handle that?" he asks her firmly.
"Yes. I can do that." she tells him.
He nods his head and pats her on the back.
She moves over to Ward is sitting by himself away from Sarah and John B.
She sits down in front of Ward and looks at his leg.
She starts to unbandage the wound to apply the cream.
He opens his eyes and looks down at her.
"How far along?" he whispers to her.
Her eyes snap up at him.
Her eyes widen and she freezes.
"W-What?" she asks.
He gives her a knowing smile.
"How far along are you?" he asks her again.
"H-how do you know?" she asks.
"I've had three children. I know the signs." he whispers to her.
She clears her throat.
"I'm guessing about six weeks." she responds.
He lets out a small happy laugh.
"Does Rafe know?" he asks.
She shakes her head.
"I didn't tell him. He wouldn't have let me go if I told him." Jo says.
She finishes putting new bandages on his wound.
"For what it's worth, I think it's a good thing. Babies have a way of putting important things into perspective." he tells her.
She stands up quickly, making it clear she's done with the conversation.
"Your opinion doesn't matter to me. You ruined your son. You ruined any chance of him being genuinely happy. Even if any of this shit wasn't going on, I wouldn't let you anywhere near this baby. So whatever crazy idea you have in your head, get it out because you will not-"
She leans forward so she gets her point across.
"I repeat will not have anything to do with this baby."
She glares as she steps away from him.
She turns her back on him and walks toward where John B and Sarah are sitting and sleeping.
She sits down across from them and closes her eyes to try to get some sleep.

*Pogue for Life* Welcome to Kitty Hawk Part 1
It is barely dawn and Jo and the rest of her friends are sitting outside.
Jo is sitting beside JJ and Kie as they watch the rest of the Chateau collapse to the ground.
The fire is still going, but more calmly.
"It could have been a faulty electrical wire." Pope guesses.
"The place was all wood. A tinderbox." Kie comments.
Jo leans her head on JJ's shoulder.
He wraps his arm around her shoulder.
"Thing just went up." Cleo says.
"Just out of nowhere. I'm just glad we all made it out safely." Jo says.
"Verdict is in bro. Whoever is up there does not like you." JJ comments.
Jo swats his arm.
Thunder cracks against the sky.
The friends quickly run down to the dock so they can take shelter.
The rain is pouring down pretty hard.
"When did you say the pilot is getting in?" John B asks Sarah.
"Probably in like an hour. Once he's here, my dad said we can leave whenever we want." Sarah tells them.
"Okay, well as much as I would love to ghost my parents again. I can't." Pope states.
"Pope, we're talking about El Dorado here. Can't you just slip out the back maybe?" JJ retorts.
"Great advice." Kie jokes.
"It's always worked for me." JJ mumbles.
"I agree with Pope. There's a couple of stops I have to make first." Jo locks eyes with JJ.
She quickly averts her gaze.
"Ok. Let's do what we need to do and meet up at the airstrip in an hour." Kie comments as she jumps down from the railing.
"One hour Pope. Not a second later."
JJ yells after him as Pope and Cleo walk away from the dock.
"I promise one hour." Pope yells back.
"I'm gonna go pack some stuff and break the news to my parents." Kie states as she starts to walk off behind Pope and Cleo.
"Do you need one of us to go with you?" Jo asks her.
Kie shakes her head.
"No. I can handle my parents. Besides you guys gotta pack to. I'll be okay."
Jo pulls Kie into a hug.
"See you soon." Jo says with a smile.
Kie walks off the dock.
"Do you need me to go with you? You know in case things get ugly."
JJ pulls Jo closer to him by her waist.
John B and Sarah share an amused look.
"I'll be okay Jay. You don’t need to worry about me." she tells him.
"You know I always worry about you." he tells her.
They lock eyes and for a minute they forget that they’re not alone.
John B clears his throat breaking the two of them apart.
"Okay, well since you don't need me. I'm gonna swing by the shack for old time's sake." JJ says breaking the tension.
"We'll see you guys in an hour." Sarah calls after them as they walk hand in hand off the dock.
******************************
Jo stands outside her father's house nervously.
She unlocks the door and sneaks through the house to the steps.
She climbs up the steps and sneaks into her room.
She quickly grabs a backpack and throws clothes and medical supplies into her bag.
She changes her clothes and grabs her passport.
She slips it into her back pocket and takes a look around.
There might be a chance she isn't coming back.
She opens the door and looks down the hall.
When she doesn't see anybody she sneaks out and down the steps.
She sees her dad's office and the light is on.
She takes a deep breath and pushes the door open.
Her dad is sitting at his desk typing on his computer.
He is speaking on the phone.
"I'm gonna have to call you back." he says into the phone before he hangs up.
He gives her a look of disappointment.
She steps into the room nervously.
"I know that you're mad at me." she starts.
"Mad isn't even the right word for it Joanna." Buzz snaps.
She looks down at the floor in shame.
"I understand. I won't be here long. I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to South America." she tells him.
He sighs in frustration and pinches the bridge of his nose.
"When are you gonna wake up and realize life isn't about running after lost treasure?" Buzz raises his voice at her.
"This isn't about treasure. Big John has been taken by Carlos Singh." Jo informs her.
Buzz stops in surprise.
"What are you talking about?" he asks her.
"The Pogues and I are leaving to help John B rescue his father. I'm not asking for permission. I'm telling you out of courtesy so you don't try to look for me." she says to him.
"Do you hear yourself? You are not some adult who can just up and travel the world whenever you please. You are a child. And this is too dangerous." Buzz argues.
"I am not a little girl anymore Dad. I have already been through so much. Instead of yelling at me about it, I want you to be proud of me." Jo expresses.
"Proud of you? For what? For endangering your life? Why am I the bad guy for just wanting you to be safe?" he questions.
"Because you are the one who taught me everything I know. All my skills and instincts I learned from you, Dad."
She pauses as she fights back tears.
"I used to listen to all of the stories that you would tell about the calls you were on. And I thought that you were the coolest and I wanted to be just like you. The guy that would do anything for anybody. And that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do all that I can do to help my friend save his father." Jo says.
"I just want you safe." he tells her pleadingly.
"Then come with us, Dad." she suggests.
He shakes his head.
"I'm not coming with you." he states firmly.
"Why not? John was your best friend for so many years. With your medical training, you could be a great help to us!" she argues her point.
"I'm not going, Joanna. John made his choices and I am making mine. I'm staying here and I really wish you would too." he tells her.
"I spent so many days not talking to my friends and feeling left out. But I would never turn my back on them. I'm sorry that you feel that way. But I'm going with my friends. You stay and do what you think is right."
She turns on her heels and storms out of the office.
She quickly rushes out of the house and heads for the car.
She checks the time and she sees she has about 40 minutes left before she has to meet her friends to leave.
That gives her plenty of time to say her goodbyes to Rafe.
*******************************
Jo unlocks the side door at Tannyhill.
The house is dark and silent and she looks around.
"Rafe!"
She shouts out but doesn't hear him.
She walks up the steps slowly.
"Rafe!?"
She calls out again.
She hears soft speaking coming from the balcony.
She slowly makes her way out and sees Rafe pacing back and forth in front of the railing.
"Hey." she speaks to catch his attention.
He looks up in surprise at the sound of her voice.
His eyes look bloodshot and he has bags under his eyes.
He just stares at her.
She looks at him in concern.
"Are you okay?" she asks him.
Rafe scoffs at the question.
"My fiancé walked out on me last night. Do you think I'm okay?"
He leans against the rail and crosses his arms over his chest.
She looks at him with sad eyes.
"I am so sorry. It wasn't my intention to hurt you." she tells him.
"Yea, well you did." he comments back.
"I didn't mean for things to go that way. I just- I just felt suffocated and caged in."
He gives her a hurt look.
"When we first got to Guadeloupe, I swore that I wasn't gonna fall back in love with you. But I did, and I don't regret a single moment of that. I want you to know that. When I said yes to you, I meant it. I was ready to spend the rest of my life with you." she tells him.
"So then what changed? If you were so happy with me as you claim to be, what went wrong? I mean I quit drugs for you. I went to a therapist for you. I sold that gold for you! And for what? For you to up and leave me and go be with your Pogue friends? How am I gonna be able to just watch you and see you here and not be with you?" he raises his voice.
"That won't be an issue. I'm going to South America and I don't know if I'm coming back." she says to him.
"What? Why are you going to South America?" Rafe questions.
"John B needs help to save his father. I need to be there and help. I want you to understand why I am doing this."
She steps closer to him.
He looks like he's about to cry.
"But I need you here. I- I don't think I can be okay if you're gone." he confesses to her.
She grabs his hand in hers.
"I will always be here for you. I do love you, Rafe. I always have and I always will."
She feels tears in her eyes.
She watches as he pulls away from her and turns to face the yard.
"Rafe? Is everything okay?" she asks in concern.
"I uh I'm wrestling with this decision about my dad. I know that it helps me and my business if I go through with this, I can really hurt him. And we both know I still care about him." He tells her.
She grabs his arm and turns him so he's facing her.
She grabs his face in her hands.
"Look at me, I'm not gonna pretend that Ward is the greatest or whatever. But you are better than him. The fact that you are struggling with this decision proves that you are. I'm not gonna make the decision for you. But the trick is to do the thing that you're gonna regret the least. If it's gonna eat you up inside to have your father killed, don’t do it. You will never be the same and we both know that." she tells him.
He pulls away from her.
"You're in the process of breaking up with me, so why are you saying all of this to me?" he questions.
"Because you're different now. Because you're the Rafe that I always imagined having a future with."
She pulls her rings off her fingers.
Rafe watches her with sad and heartbroken eyes.
She places the rings on the small table.
"You'll do the right thing. I know you will. Goodbye, Rafe."
She quickly turns to leave the balcony.
She makes it down the steps before she starts sobbing.
She presses her hand over her chest as it feels tight.
She just said goodbye to the first boy she ever loved and the father of her unborn baby.

Fox River - Pilot Part 1
**Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or plot of prison break. I only own Jessica, Jason, and my other add-ons. **
Jessica is in her car heading to the station. She has a lot on her mind. Her ex-husband's execution is coming up and she keeps getting calls from his son wanting to talk. Just then her radio comes on.
"We have a 132 in progress at the Chicago National Savings Bank. All officials closest please respond." Jessica snaps to attention.
She is only two blocks over. She turns on her lights and races over to the bank. She gets out and spots the officer in charge.
" What do we got?" she asks showing her badge to the officer.
"One man armed, he already has the money but hasn't left let. We heard gunshots, but nothing else." the officer tells her.
"OK go ahead and try to make contact." she says to him grabbing her gun and standing behind the police car.
" This is the police." the officer says into the speaker.
"You are completely surrounded. Drop your weapon and come out with your hands on your head!" he speaks loudly.
Jessica holds her breath and prepares for the worst.
She sees that the man drops his weapons and heads to the officer.
"OK follow my lead." she says to him as they step inside.
She prepares for a fight but is not prepared for who is in front of her.
She stops dead in her tracks in surprise.
"Michael?" she asks in shock as she sees her smart and successful ex-brother-in-law standing in front of her.
She watches as the officer handcuffs him and leads him to the car.
2 days later, she is sitting in the middle aisle of the courtroom where Michael is having his hearing. She sees that her younger sister is representing him. She looks over when the door opens and sees LJ walk in. He quickly spots her and sits down beside her.
"Hey, how are you holding up?" she whispers to him.
He just shakes his head and engulfs her in a hug. She puts her arm around him and hugs him to her tightly. She listens on as the hearing starts.
"Rarely for an armed robbery do we hear a plea of no contest." The judge says before looking over to Michael.
"Are you sure about this Mr. Scofield?" she asks him.
Jess looks over at him to see what he would say.
"I'm sure your honor." he says with certainty.
Jess looks at him in confusion but holds her breath as her sister speaks up.
"Your honor we would like to recess. My client is not thinking right at the moment." Jessica still gets angry from hearing Veronica's voice.
LJ looks up at her.
"What's happening? Why is Uncle Mike not doing anything to defend himself?" he asks her with a look that breaks her heart.
Poor kid, having to see his father in prison, now his uncle too.
"I don't know kid. I don't know." she whispers to him.
She hears the judge declare recess and looks up and sees the defeated look on her sister as Michael looks over at the two of them.
LJ stands up as they start to lead Michael out.
"Uncle Mike?" LJ pleads as Michael looks over at him.
"I didn't want you to come." he tells him softly.
"Go home LJ. Jess make sure he gets home please?" he asks her looking at her.
"I didn't want you to see this. Neither of you." he says as the bailiff leads him out.
Jess watches with a heavy heart as they take him back.
She wraps her arm around LJ and pulls him out of the room.
"I need you to stay here for a second. Then I'll take you home OK." she says leading him to the waiting room.
"It's OK Jess. I wanna walk to clear my head." he tells her before giving her another tight hug.
"It was good to see you. I miss you." he whispers
She hugs him back.
"I miss you too kid. Every day." she says back.
He lets go of her and backs away and heads outside.
Jessica starts walking back to the holding cells.
She catches up with Veronica and Michael.
"He is not going to take this well." she hears him say.
She scoffs before walking around the bailiff to walk beside Veronica.
"Can you blame him." she says glaring at the both of them.
"He's your nephew. He's starting to think anyone he attaches himself to is going to wind up in prison." Jess says as Michael goes into the cell.
"He's not the only one starting to feel that way Michael." Veronica says as the bailiff locks him in.
"Can you give us a minute please?" Veronica asks him.
He nods and walks away so he isn't in hearing distance.
"What are you thinking?" Jess asks him.
" Ronnie just did everything she could but you just threw that book right into the judge's hands didn't you." Jess states lecturing him.
Veronica glances at her in shock. It has been a while since Jess defended or complimented her.
"I know." Michael says looking at both of them.
"Will you please tell us what is going through your head?" Veronica asks wanting to know why he is making this easy.
"We've all been over this." Jess rolls her eyes.
"We have known you our entire lives. You do not have a lying bone in your body." Veronica says to him.
"And we all know you definitely didn't need the money." Jess inputs..
"Guys please." Michael pleads.
"You both have been good to me my whole life. Jess you have been the best sister-in-law a guy can ask for and Veronica you have been an amazing best friend. But you both have to just let me do this please." he tells the both of them.
Jess just looks at him with tears in her eyes.
She turns around and walks out without another word to either of them.

Fox River - Preface
Jessica is sitting at the bar.
Her friends dragged her out because she had passed her exam.
She is now a certified police officer for Chicago PD.
Her sister Veronica is supposed to meet her any minute now.
She looks up and sees her friend Alyssa walking over to her.
"Come on girl! This night is for you! Let's dance!" she basically shouts at her and grabs her arm pulling her up from her seat.
Alyssa pulls her out onto the dance floor surrounded by a lot of dancing sweaty people.
Jessica starts getting into the beat and started dirty dancing with Alyssa.
As they are dancing she feels someone wrap their arms around her waist. She pushes herself back farther in the stranger's arms brushing against his chest. She feels lips skim down her neck making her moan softly.
She turns around and looks into the eyes of the man she had not seen in years. The man she had a huge crush on since she was 12 years old.
That man is her younger sister's best friend's older brother Lincoln Burrows.
They continue dancing and she wraps her arms around his neck. He smirks and leans down to whisper in her ear.
"Wanna get a drink?" he asks her brushing his lips against her ear causing her to shiver lightly.
She nods not trusting her words and he leads her over to the bar.
They sit and drink at the bar and dance some more. They leave the bar and head towards her apartment.
He has her pinned against her door grinding against her with one hand in her hair and the other gripping her hip tightly. She moans in his mouth and he pulls back away from her.
"I'm not gonna sleep with you tonight Jess." he whispers grabbing her face with his hand.
"But I will take your phone number." He smirks at her as she smiles back at him.
After that night he calls and texts her every day and they become official after three dates and one amazing night in bed.
1 year later, Jess and Lincoln are still going strong. They end up moving in together and on the weekends they end up getting his son LJ who Jess loves as if he were her own.
She is currently making dinner as an eight-year-old LJ was helping her make dinner.
"Yay! You're doing an awesome job." Jess compliments as he is sitting at the table peeling potatoes.
He smiles up at her happy at the compliment.
"When is Daddy going to be home?" He asks her.
She looks up at the clock on the wall.
"Hopefully here soon." she tells him as she finishes up dinner.
Linc ends up being a half hour late that night.
"Where were you? Are you OK?" she asks him as they stand in the living room so they aren't talking in front of the kid.
"Yes. Just running late." he says brushes off her worry and heads into the kitchen to see his son.
After dinner is over he tells her he has a surprise for her and walks off into the bedroom.
He comes back out holding something behind his hand.
She looks at him suspiciously as he walks up to her chair and kneels down on one knee.
Her eyes grow big with surprise as he pulls a small box out from behind his back.
"Jessica Marie, you have done wonders for me. You made me a better man, you keep me on the straight and narrow. I love you." he looks up at her as she has her hands over her mouth crying softly.
"You make me and my son so happy and I wanna add to our small family someday. So will you do me the honor of being my wife? Be Mrs. Burrows." he smiles and looks at her with a hopeful look.
She instantly nods and he smiles the biggest smile and puts the ring on her finger.
He shouts in glee as he picked her up and spins her around kissing her softly.
A few months later, they get married at City Hall with just his brother and son and Veronica as witnesses.
As the first two years pass, Jess keeps working as a police officer.
Lincoln can't hold a job for longer than a year. But as long as they had Jess's income they had no worries. Jess was still so madly in love with Lincoln. But her older sister Trish always wanted her to divorce him.
"I don't understand why you're still with him." Trish says to Jess one day while they are having lunch.
Jess just rolls her eyes.
"I love him and I know he loves me. Why can't you just accept that?" she asks Trish angrily.
"Because you can do so much better. You're working your way to becoming a detective. And Veronica has just come back from law school. You two have so much going for you." Trish lectures.
Jessica defends her love for Lincoln to Trish.
Everything is going wonderful until Lincoln starts acting strange. He starts coming home late and is always gone when she wakes up for work. She tries to talk to him about it but he would always brush her off. Then one night, she comes home from work early. She unlocks the door and pushes it open.
She turns on the light and looks up. She stops dead in her tracks and she can feel her heart breaking.
There standing by the window is Lincoln kissing her sister. They pull apart and stare at her in surprise. Lincoln pushes Veronica away and wants to walk closer to Jess.
She shakes her head and he stops.
"Jess, please this is not what it looks like." he tries to say but she puts her hand up and punches him in the face.
"I want you both out of my house now!" she says with tears coming down her face and walks past them and goes upstairs to her room and slams the door closed.
After that night, she refuses to talk to Lincoln and Veronica.
She always avoids him when he shows up where she is. She goes to a lawyer, had divorce papers filed, and sends to his new address.
6 months later, they are officially divorced and she refuses to see and talk to him, eventually, he stops showing up and calling.
She gets a new partner, Jason Clarke, who instantly likes her.
As time passes, she doesn't hear anything from Lincoln until one night, while she is having dinner with Jason, her phone rings.
She looks at the caller ID and ignores the call.
Later when she gets home she turned on the TV and the news was on.
She pulls out her phone and listens to her voicemail as a breaking news report comes on. She is listening to Lincoln's voice in her ear as she watches the news seeing that Terrance Steadman has been murdered.
But she takes a deep breath and reminds herself that Lincoln is not her problem and tries to push him from her mind.

*Pogue for Life* Tapping the Rudder Part 2
Jo is sitting at the table that Rafe had on reserve for them.
She watches as he sits at the bar talking and laughing with other men.
She looks at the glass of rum and coke in front of her that she has left untouched.
She knows why she can't make herself drink it.
It's the same reason why she hasn't looked at the pregnancy test in her pocket yet.
She's scared of the outcome.
She's afraid of losing all of her friends and JJ if the test comes back positive.
She looks out at the water to try to find calm and peace.
She feels a presence at the table and turns to see one of the bartenders standing at her table.
"Hi, I'm Sofia. I heard a lot about you. Can I get you a different drink?" she asks.
"Oh? Uh yea, can I just get a strawberry lemonade please?"
Jo hands her the glass of her untouched drink.
"Yea, absolutely. I'll be right back."
She quickly walks off to make her a new drink.
Jo feels her phone vibrate in her pocket.
She looks at it and sees that it's a group chat with all the Pogues.
Sarah sent out a mass message and wants everyone to meet at the Chateau.
Jo's heart leaps to her throat.
She feels like she can't breathe.
She quickly stands up and rushes over to find Rafe.
She finds him at the bar talking to Sofia.
She stops and looks and sees the way Sofia is laughing at what Rafe is saying.
She is completely infatuated with him.
She shakes her head and walks past him.
He spots her and rushes after her.
"Hey! What's wrong? Where are you going?" he questions.
He grabs her arm and pulls her around and to a stop.
"I can't be here right now Rafe. I have to go."
She tries to pry his fingers off her arm.
"What are you talking about? We just got here." he exclaims.
"I don’t belong here Rafe. This country club lifestyle. It isn't me." she says to him with tears in her eyes.
He stands there frozen with wide panicked eyes.
"What the hell are you talking about? Of course, you belong here! With me!" Rafe exclaims.
She shakes her head as tears come down her face.
"I don't, not anymore. Maybe once I belonged here. But after everything that's happened. I can't do this. You want someone to take care of and I'm not that person. I need adventure and excitement. I just feel suffocated here."
She tries to pull away, but he won't let her.
"Why didn't you say anything to me before? I don't want you to leave me. You're all I have left."
He pulls her closer so that their foreheads are pressed together. "I need you. Please don't leave me." he begs her.
"Rafe please-"
He gives her a sad tight-lipped look.
"It's them, isn't it? You're leaving me for them." he questions.
"I love you, but I can't be in this lifestyle. I hope you understand."
She pulls out of his grasp and he doesn't stop her.
He just watches her with pain-stricken eyes as tears roll down his face.
"I can't be a part of Ward ruining you again. I can't watch you go down that path of destruction."
Rafe's chest gets heavy and he starts breathing heavily.
"I'm sorry." She whispers before she runs away from the club.
Rafe tries to run after her, but he gets stopped by other businessmen wanting to talk.
He pushes past them and rushes to the parking lot.
Just as he runs out there, he sees her get in a car and it drives away.
Rafe grabs his chest in agony.
He starts to feel like he's dying.
Outer Banks, Paradise on Earth.
One side for the Pogues.
Another for the Kooks.
From the moment you're born, you're told which side you belong on.
But I think it's not what people tell you, you are.
It's what side you choose.
Its which side your heart is on.
********************************
Everyone is standing outside of the Chateau waiting as Sarah arrives.
"Hey, thanks for waiting. Look who decided to come home."
Sarah turns her head and John B walks into the yard.
"Hey!"
"Whoa."
"Look at you boy!"
"You gotta be kidding me!"
Sarah looks around.
"Where's Jo?" she asks the group.
"I haven't heard from her." Kie responds.
JJ kicks at the dirt.
"She's probably off with her Kook boyfriend. She can't be bothered with us anymore." JJ angrily comments.
Pope looks up and his eyes widen.
"Hey." he shouts out.
Jo walks timidly into the yard toward the Pogues.
"Hey." Jo greets softly.
JJ's eyes widen and he has a look of hope on his face.
The thing is, I made my choice.
Deep down I always knew where my heart belonged.
What I didn't know is if my friends would welcome me back after everything that has happened.
"Good, now that the gang is all here, I have something I want to share with you guys." Sarah states.
"I can get us down to Orinoco." She informs the group.
"Are you serious?" JJ stutters as he comes to stand beside Jo.
She glances at him briefly, but he doesn't look at her.
"Okay, how is that gonna happen?" Cleo questions.
"My dad is gonna let us use the plane." Sarah informs them.
Jo's eyes snap up to Sarah in confusion.
"Ward? Is just gonna let everybody just use the plane?" Jo questions.
"Yup. I convinced him. He's not gonna be a problem for us. We just lay low tonight, then wheels up first thing in the morning." Sarah tries to remain optimistic.
"Okay. That's a lot to process. Your dad actually helping us." Pope comments.
"I talked to him. He'll do it." Sarah confirms.
"So we're trusting Ward now?" Cleo questions.
"We trust Sarah." Kie states.
"Alright. That's all I need to hear." Pope states.
"I just have one more thing to say." Sarah gets their attention.
"Since we've gotten back from the island, I've done some things that I regret." Sarah says as she sneaks a peek at John B.
He clears his throat.
"Yea, I feel like we've all done a thing or two we regret." he says.
Jo glances at JJ who is already watching her.
"Poguelandia, it's all I've been able to think about. We were all together on that island. And it was a good thing and I don’t wanna ruin a good thing."
Jo feels her heart stop.
She wasn't there with them.
They bonded while on that island and she wasn't there with her best friends.
She tries to stop the tears as she quickly turns around and runs away from them.
"Jo?" Pope calls out.
JJ instantly takes off after her.
She reaches the car and goes to open it, but JJ's hand stops her.
"Where are you going?" he asks her frantically.
She watches over his shoulder as the rest of the Pogues follow behind.
"It's clear that I don’t belong here anymore. You guys all had Poguelandia and I wasn't there. You had that bonding moment and I'll never be able to experience that with you. So who are we all kidding here Jay? You were right. This isn't my life anymore."
JJ grabs her face in his hands.
"I was wrong. You are just much a Pogue as any one of us. Just because you weren't there with us doesn't mean a damn thing. You belong with us. You belong with me."
Jo feels more tears in her eyes.
"I missed you." she tells him.
He presses his forehead against hers.
The rest of the Pogues gather around them.
"So are we really doing this?" John B asks as they all huddle together.
Jo hugs all of her friends and she finally feels at peace.
*****************************
They take the party back to the house.
John B is sitting in his room and Jo watches Sarah follow behind him.
She smiles and shakes her head.
She sees Pope sitting on the couch and she walks over to him.
She sits down next to him.
"Hey." she greets.
"Hey." he greets back with a smile.
"I just wanna say I'm sorry. About the cross and Rafe, and my involvement in that. It was a shitty thing to do and I feel like a horrible friend." she confesses to him.
"The thing is, I don't care. The cross was just a materialistic thing. The real treasure is all of us together. Your friendship means more to me than any cross. You're one of my best friends. I couldn't stand to lose you."
She wraps her arms around him in a hug.
"I love you Pope." she whispers to him.
"I love you too. Now go fix this shit with JJ. I'm tired of him moping around waiting on you." Pope says to her.
She locks eyes with JJ from across the room.
She grabs a beer from the fridge and takes it to him.
"Whatcha thinking about?" she asks as she jumps up on the kitchen counter across from him.
"Just about everything that's happened. About you."
He makes his way slowly toward her.
He grabs her thighs and pushes them apart so he can get in between them.
"I've been thinking a lot about you too." Jo tells him.
"I miss you and I don't wanna lose you. I love you, Jo."
He grabs her face and kisses her.
She freezes in shock but she kisses him back.
She wraps her arm around his neck and pulls him closer.
His hands grip her waist.
She quickly breaks the kiss.
"Hold on. We can't do this."
She pushes him back and jumps down from the counter.
She quickly rushes past him and heads for the bathroom.
He is hot on her tail following her.
"Why the hell can't we? You said so yourself that you still love me. So what's the problem?" he demands to know.
"Because it's not just you I'm in love with. I'm in love with Rafe too. And it's not fair to either one of you for me to string you along. You deserve better than that. So I'm gonna do something very cheesy and cliché. I'm choosing me. There are a lot of things in my life and I need to figure out who I am before I can even think to choose between you and Rafe. I just don’t want you to hate me for it."
She finally takes a deep breath.
She feels like a huge weight has been lifted from her shoulders.
She stands and waits for him to say something.
"Okay." he tells her simply.
She gives him a confused look.
"Just okay?" she questions.
"You're right. We have more important things to worry about than whatever this is. I love you, Joanna. That's not gonna change anytime soon. I'll wait for you for however long it takes." he confesses to her.
She gives him a smile and wraps her arms around him in a hug.
"Thank you, Jay." she whispers to him.
He leaves her alone and she closes the bathroom door.
She takes a deep breath and grabs the test from her back pocket.
She looks down and her breath catches in her throat.
Two pink lines.
She throws the test in the trash and pukes.
She washes out her mouth and jumps when a banging on the door startles her.
"Jo! There's a fire!"
She quickly opens the door and meets the wide eyes of JJ.

*Pogue for Life* Tapping the Rudder Part 1
Kooks and Pogues.
Two tribes.
One island.
Two very different boys.
One girl.
When I decided to kiss my best friend I thought that was it.
I thought I found the boy I wanted to be with and love no matter what.
When I kissed JJ, I felt so many sparks and butterflies.
I felt at home.
He was my best friend.
But then why did I choose to stay with Rafe on that ship?
When I kiss Rafe I don't get the butterflies and the sparks.
I just feel calm and peaceful.
I feel like I belong.
I made peace with being with Rafe.
I was happy.
But then choosing to save my friends and seeing JJ again brought back so many feelings that I had buried.
How is it possible to love two very different boys at the same time?
What tribe do I belong with?
The Pogues, with JJ?
Or the Kooks, with Rafe?
You would think that I had made my choice already.
But did I?
*****************************
Jo wakes up in bed and turns over to see Rafe walking out of the bathroom shirtless.
She gives him a little pout.
"Why are you getting dressed? I thought we could stay in bed today." she reaches for him.
"I can't. I'm still thinking about what Barry said to me yesterday." Rafe tells her as he puts a shirt on.
She sits up wide awake to give him her full attention.
"What are you planning on doing? You can't just make him leave. Plus there isn't any more evidence that you killed Peterkin. Ward's credibility went out the window when he faked his own death to escape being arrested."
Jo can see how frustrated Rafe is and stands up.
She is only wearing one of his shirts.
She walks over and places her hand on his arm.
"Hey, talk to me."
She turns him so he's facing her.
"I don't want him to ruin what we have going here." he says.
She grabs his face.
"I know you don't. We actually have a real good thing going right now." she replies.
"I know we do. And if he stays here, he's gonna ruin everything."
Rafe grabs a gun and sticks it in the waist of his pants.
Jo gives him a wary look.
"I don't think taking that is a good idea." Jo says to him.
"I'll be fine."
Jo grabs his arm to turn him to face her again.
"I don't like this. I agree with you that your dad needs to leave. But you taking that gun will only lead you to do something you'll regret. He is still your father."
She grabs his face and makes him look at her.
She sees the emotion in his eyes that he tries to hide from her but can't because she knows him so well.
"I'll be okay. I'm not how I was before." he tells her.
He grabs her face and kisses her deeply.
"Thank you for taking care of me even when I don't deserve it. I love you for that."
He pulls away from her and heads to the door.
They both walk out onto the balcony.
There are plastic cups everywhere.
"This is gonna be a bitch to clean up." Jo says as she eyes the destruction from the party.
"Call Maria. Her number should be pinned up on the fridge somewhere. That'll be one of your duties as Mrs. Rafe Cameron." Rafe smirks at her.
She rolls her eyes playfully.
"You're funny." she states.
"I'll keep you updated on how things go. I'll let you know if I need you." he tells her.
"Please do. I like being there for you." she confesses to him with a blush.
He smirks down at her.
"I really like you being there for me too."
He pulls her closer to him.
"What are you gonna be doing while I'm gone?" he asks her.
"I need to check on Topper. He got pretty beat up last night. I need to do damage control." she informs him.
He sighs in irritation.
"I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but you don't always have to fix your friends' messes. John B knew what he was doing. It's not your responsibility to save everyone else." he tells her firmly.
She nods her head.
"I know. And you're absolutely right. But I still need to see Topper and make sure he's okay." she tells him.
"As you should. He's your family. I'll text you if I need you."
He kisses her one more time and then leaves the balcony to leave.
*******************************
Jo walks in the front door of her dad's house.
She doesn't spot him, but she finds Cynthia standing outside on the deck.
She takes a deep breath and walks outside to talk to her.
Cynthia spots her and scoffs at her.
"Your father isn't here. He's on call right now." Cynthia snips.
"I'm not here to see my dad. I come to see Topper." she tells her stepmom.
"You have some nerve showing up here after what your low-life friend has done." she retorts.
"You know what, I know you don't like me. You never have. But I'm not here to cause any problems. I come to check up on Topper because I care about him, whether you care or not. I know what John B did was wrong. It shouldn't have happened." Jo tells her.
"Then you'll have no problems testifying on Topper's behalf then since you were there." Cynthia cuts in.
"What are you talking about?" Jo asks her.
"Topper is pressing charges against John B. Since you clearly said that John B was in the wrong, you should have no problems saying that under oath."
Jo scoffs and walks back into the house.
She runs up the stairs and barges into Topper's room.
"Why the hell are you pressing charges against John B?" Jo asks.
Topper turns to face her and her eyes widen at all the bruises and how swollen his face is.
"Oh shit." she mumbles.
"Yea oh shit is right. Look at me, this is why." Topper glares at her.
Jo steps forward and looks closer at him.
"I am so sorry that he did that. You didn't deserve all of that." she says.
"I didn't deserve any of it, Joanna! He sucker-punched me repeatedly in front of the whole party! He's lucky I didn't decide to kick his ass." Topper rants.
"You know Sarah had him backed off. He was calming down. You didn't have to make that comment." she accuses.
"Are you saying this is all my fault?" Topper questions.
"I'm saying that you shouldn't have made that damn comment and maybe all of this could have been avoided." Topper glares at her.
"I knew you would side with him. You always side with those damn Pogues!" Topper yells at her.
"Can you just shut up for once in your life?! You provoked him! You didn't fight back because you wanted all of this to happen! I came here to check up on you because I knew he hurt you badly."
She sighs in defeat and sits down on the edge of his bed.
"I hate this shit Top. Why does it have to be Kooks versus Pogues? Why can't we all just get along?" She sniffles as she tries to stop the tears.
Topper's face softens as he sits down beside her on the bed.
"It's been that way for as long as I can remember. I've never thought about the why before." Topper says.
"It's so exhausting. I just want it all to end. I want to be able to hang out on one end of the island and not catch shit from the other end. I wanna be able to hang out with you guys and the Pogues altogether. I wanna be able to spend time with my boyfriend and not hide him from my friends. I'm just so exhausted Top."
She feels the tears freely flow from her eyes down her face.
"That night was fun though right?"
She nudges his arm with hers trying to change the subject.
"You mean stealing off a train and running from the cops? Oh yea, I had a blast of a time." Topper sarcastically states.
Jo rolls her eyes.
"You don't always have to do what's expected of you. You have your whole life to figure it out. Why not live in the moment while you can? Embrace the excitement and the rush." she smiles at him.
"Is that why you do it? For the rush and excitement?" Topper asks her.
"I do it for the once-in-a-lifetime experience. With great friends who would do just about anything for you. That is what makes life great." Jo leans her head on Topper's shoulder.
"I wish that you could experience that with me, bro. I think you would really enjoy it." she tells him.
Her phone vibrates in her pocket.
She pulls it out and sees its a text from Rafe.
I need you. Meet me at Barry's.
She quickly responds that she is on her way.
"I have to go. Rafe needs me."
Jo stands up from the bed.
"There is just one thing I don't understand. You seemed to be so into JJ. Then all of a sudden you're back together with Rafe. What happened?" Topper asks.
Jo gives him a sad smile.
"I fill you in on another day."
She kisses his cheek and leaves the room.
She passes Cynthia on the way down the steps.
She glances and sees her dad sitting in his office at his desk.
He is talking on the phone and typing on his computer.
She clears her throat and leaves before he can see her.
She runs out of the house and gets in the range rover.
**************************
She parks the car and gets out.
She walks through the yard and sees Rafe pacing back and forth and Barry sitting in the chair.
"What is going on?" Jo questions.
Rafe glances up at her.
"He's not leaving. He actually threatened me and is gonna cut me off. He wants up out of Tannyhill by the end of the week." Rafe informs her.
"If you're worried about a place to stay, I have my mom's trailer. It's nothing fancy, but we would have someplace to go." she tells him.
"That's not the point. He's not gonna stop until he takes everything from me. I've been going through it over and over again. Okay? You said it yourself, right? The only way this thing goes south is my dad. We gotta nip that shit in the bud. We gotta take him out." Rafe rants.
Jo's eyes widen.
"Rafe-"
He continues his rant.
"Besides who would know anyway? He's already dead. You can't kill someone who is already dead."
Jo grabs Rafe's face so he's looking at her.
"Look at me, this is the old Rafe talking. We can get out from under his thumb and go anywhere. Don't ruin the progress you have made because of Ward." Jo pleads with him.
"I'm trying to provide a life for you. So you don't have to worry about a thing in your life. Okay, the deal that we have going on between the three of us, using the company to launder the money, that's gonna be all gone. Okay? We're gonna have nothing." he rants to her.
"What you're asking me to do right now Country Club, is something that once it's done cannot be undone." Barry tells him catching their attention.
"Just take a deep breath, okay and just clear your head. You're so worked up right now." Jo soothingly rubs his chest.
"We're talking about your family, talking about your pops, about your blood. Blood complicates things. Hypothetically speaking, let's say I do it. And then for whatever reason you decide to change your mind. Sell me out." Barry says to him.
Rafe clears his face of any emotion.
"No. This has been a long time coming."
Jo takes a step back from him.
"He has always had his boot on my neck. Holding me down." He glances at Jo.
"He's the one who shipped me off to Chapel Hill after I told him I didn't wanna be away from you. He called me a pussy for that. Said I needed to man up and not chase after a girl like you. We could have worked our shit out sooner instead of all that mess!"
Jo gasps a sharp intake of breath.
"I'm not gonna change my mind on this. In order for me to be the man I wanna be, he needs to be out of the picture."
Rafe walks away from them and gets in the car.
Jo and Barry lock eyes.
"Let me talk to him alright? I'll handle this." She tells Barry.
She runs over to the car and gets in the passenger seat.
"Where are we going?" Jo asks.
"I wanna treat my girl to drinks and dinner."
Rafe tells her as he grabs her hand.

*Pogue for Life* Happy Anniversary Part 3
Once she showers and changes her clothes she walks back downstairs to find Rafe.
She finds him standing by himself drinking.
"Are you alright?" she asks him as she rubs her hand down his back.
"Yea, baby, I'm fine. Just something Barry said. We can talk about it later." he tells her.
"Are you sure? I can stay here if you need me to." she tells him.
He shakes his head.
"No. Go talk to your dad. I'll be okay." he says to her.
He grabs her face and leans down and kisses her on the lips.
"I love you." he speaks against her lips.
"I love you too." she responds.
She quickly rushes out of the house and goes to the range rover.
She gets in the car and drives over to the Wreck, where the party is.
She walks inside and hears a band playing out back.
People are outside mingling.
She spots Sarah and Kie talking at a table.
"Have you guys seen my dad anywhere?" she asks them.
They turn to face her.
"No, but I was just telling Kie I just saw mine." Sarah tells her.
Jo's eyes widen.
"Oh shit. How did that go?" Jo asks.
"All I'm saying is, the second I see him I'm turning him in I swear." Kie scoffs.
"I don't blame you one bit." Sarah mumbles.
"I don't know how you do it. I can barely stand to look at mine right now." Jo says.
"Every time I wanna complain about my dad, I just think about your dad." Kie tells her.
"Oh, glad to be of service." Sarah comments in amusement.
Jo finally spots her dad, who is standing with Topper and his mother.
Sarah notices Topper who is staring at her.
"You guys didn't tell me Topper was gonna be here." Sarah accuses her friends.
"I haven't been home or talked to anyone so I had no idea." Jo tells her.
"Sorry. My mom invited like the whole island." Kie says.
"Shit." Sarah breathes out.
"I have to have a bad conversation with my dad right now. Wish me luck." Jo tells them as she walks away from the girls.
She walks over to her dad who is in conversation with his wife and Topper.
"Dad, I'm sorry to interrupt but I have to talk to you. It's important." she tells him.
"Alright, let's go over here."
He grabs her arm and leads her over to a secluded spot.
"What's so urgent that you have to talk to me now?" Buzz asks.
Jo shakes her head.
"I don't even know how to start this. So I'm just gonna say this. I know about the boat you had Barry clean and get rid of." she states.
His eyes widen.
"How the hell do you know about that?" he questions.
"How do you think? It's Barry for crying out loud. He can't keep his mouth shut." she tells him.
"I paid him plenty to keep his mouth shut." Buzz retorts.
Jo shakes her head.
"You treat me like a little girl and you don't trust me with these things. You didn't have to go to Barry, dad that's the point!" she raises her voice slightly.
"Okay so you know. What are you getting at with this? Did Barry come to you and demand something?" Buzz questions.
Jo scoffs and shakes her head.
"He's not the one planning on blackmailing you, dad. I am." she tells him.
Buzz narrows his eyes at her.
"Jo-"
She cuts him off.
"I am not leaving Outer Banks. I am staying with my friends and I am staying at Tannyhill.with Rafe."
She struggles to get the words out.
"I love you, but I'm not going. If you force me to go, Rafe and Barry have your fingerprints on the boat and they will use it against you." she tells him.
Her face and voice are clear of all emotion.
Buzz gives her a disappointed look.
"I don't even know who you are anymore Joanna. You wanna know why I wanted you out of here? This right here is the reason. The old Joanna would never think about using something like this against me."
He steps closer to her.
"Do what you want, because I'm done. You made your bed. Now you have to lie in it."
Buzz walks away from her and leaves her standing there with tears in her eyes.
Jo finds a glass of wine on a table and she grabs it and chugs it.
She listens as Mike gets on the stage and makes a little speech about being one island brought together.
It brings tears to her eyes.
She looks up and spots JJ who is watching her.
Her eyes widen and she lets out a little gasp.
***********************************
Jo walks over to where JJ is standing.
He is by the boat and away from the party.
"Why are you crying? What's wrong?" he instantly asks her.
He wipes a tear off of her cheek.
"I'm not crying. I just have something in my eye." she brushes off.
JJ stands there awkwardly thinking of what to say.
"I just saw John B. What are you guys doing here?" Jo asks him.
He stares at her with longing in his eyes.
"Okay, so we're here to gather you girls and we gotta find Pope and Cleo. Were mounting a full search and rescue mission right now. Big John got nabbed by Singh and his men. He almost killed John B." JJ informs her.
Jo makes a face of confusion.
"What? What do you mean he's been nabbed? What the hell happened?" Jo questions.
"Listen, we all have to get down there as soon as we can." JJ tells her.
"To where?" Jo asks.
"To South America." JJ informs her.
"To South America? Like right now?" Jo gives him a dumbfounded look.
"I know it's a long shot, but we're making a plan right now." he tells her.
"I can't just up and go to South America!" she argues.
"Why not? Is it because of your precious Kook? Come on let's be real, you can do a lot better than that." JJ insults.
Jo shakes her head.
"It's not about Rafe, alright? You just can't come here and spring this on me after not talking to me for days." she argues.
"What do you expect me to say? You chose the easier option and stayed with Rafe. I don't think we have anything else to talk about." he tells her.
"That's bullshit and you know it. I already feel bad enough for what happened. You don't need to make me feel any worse. And no we still have plenty to talk about. Like I miss you dude." she tells him.
JJ looks at her with a guarded look.
"I feel like a piece of me is missing and that piece is you. I can't stand not having you around." She starts to cry.
His face softens slightly.
"I know that I hurt you and I'm sorry for that. I wish I can take it back. But I can't and I'm sorry for that."
She watches JJ's face and sees him battling a range of emotions on his face.
"So is that a no to coming with us then?"
His face and voice are clear of all emotions.
"JJ-"
"That's all I needed to know."
He turns to walk away from her.
"Jay! I love you!" She shouts to him.
He stops and shuts his eyes.
"Please, don't say that shit to me." he begs.
"Quit acting like you don't care. You know what quit acting like I don't care! We have been through so much shit. I don't want things to be this way." she tells him.
He storms back over to her.
"You were right not to choose me. We just don't work, okay? You should realize that. I'm gonna go help my best friend save his father. Maybe I'll see you at the break when I get back. If I get back."
JJ turns and walks away from her.
She has tears falling down her face.
******************************
Jo is wandering around the party.
She is avoiding her dad who is completely mad at her.
Her phone vibrates in her hand.
She looks and sees she has a text from Rafe.
He asks her when she plans on coming home and that he misses her.
She gets butterflies at the mention of Tannyhill being called home.
She messages him back and says that she wont be too much longer she's gonna say her goodbyes.
She puts her phone in her back pocket and looks up as John B storms past her.
"John B? What are you doing?" she questions.
She looks and sees he's making a beeline for Sarah and Topper who are hugging.
"Shit." she mumbles.
She follows behind him as he knocks into a waiter knocking down glasses.
Sarah tries to stop him.
"Not right here, bro." Topper argues.
Sarah tries to push him back.
"Please don't."
"Get out of my way Sarah." John B pushes her aside.
Jo puts herself in the middle.
"John B think about this." Jo tells him.
"Get out of the way Jo."
John B pushes around Jo and slams into Topper.
"Do you feel good about yourself?" he yells at Topper.
"Stop!" Sarah yells.
They catch the attention of the party.
"You need to chill out, bro."
Jo stands by Topper and pulls him back.
"Just walk away Topper please."
John B pushes Jo away.
"You like messing up my relationship huh?" he pushes Topper.
"You're ruining the party man."
Topper refuses to fight back.
"That's what you're worried about?" John B continues to argue.
"Just walk away." Topper continues to say.
"Do you feel good about yourself?" John B pushes Topper again.
Sarah grabs John B and pulls him around to face her.
"For once in your life, would you please just turn around and walk away?" she pleads with him.
Jo can tell that John B is gonna listen to her.
She looks up and locks eyes with JJ who is watching from the dock.
"Hey, no hard feelings, bro." Topper cockily smirks.
Jo turns to glare at him.
"Can you just shut up?" she lectures.
John B turns around and sucker punches Topper hard knocking him to the ground.
"John B!"
"John B stop!"
Topper is laying on the ground and John B gets on top of him.
"You like that Top?" John B continues to punch him.
The whole party watches.
"John B stop!"
"What are you doing? No!"
John B continues to punch Topper.
"John B! Mr. Carrera!"
JJ pushes through the crowd to get to John B.
Mike pulls John B off of Topper.
"Get out of here now!" Mike yells.
"Get off of him!"
JJ pushes Mike away from John B and pushes John B back.
"That's what I'm talking about! Get out of here both of you!"
JJ pushes John B back and away from the party.
Jo watches as her dad bends down to check over Topper's wounds.
Jo locks eyes with JJ one more time before he shakes his head and walks away.
As Jo watches her two best friends walk away she feel a piece of her crumbling and falling apart.
She has a feeling that the Pogues are all falling apart.

*Pogue for Life* Happy Anniversary Part 2
Jo meets up with Rafe and Barry at the bar.
"Well, well, well look who it is. It's Mrs. Country Club." Barry bows dramatically.
Jo rolls her eyes at him and flips him off.
"It's not a pleasure to see you too." she glares.
"Why am I here?" Jo asks Rafe.
He just smirks at her.
"You're gonna be the money girl."
He pulls out a key that's attached to a gold chain.
"This is the key to the safe that has the money and the gold. You're gonna keep it safe for us." Rafe slips the chain around her neck.
The key lies perfectly between her breasts.
Rafe smirks and starts toying with the chain.
"Why am I the one to hold onto this?" she questions.
"Because you're my girl and I trust you." Rafe tells her.
Barry rolls his eyes.
"Whatever as long as she doesn't steal any of it we're good." Barry slurs as he glances at Jo.
She stares him down as she places a hand on Rafe's chest.
"I'm all in this. So you better start getting used to me. I'm not going anywhere." she says to Barry.
Barry glances between Rafe and Jo and shakes his head.
"Y'all are dangerous. I see the way you are with her man. Don't let it cloud your judgment. The first sign of disloyalty I see I'm coming for you." Barry threatens.
Rafe goes to open his mouth, but Jo beats him to it.
"You can threaten me all you want Barry. It's not gonna change anything." she stares at him.
He laughs and finally lightens up.
"Well alright, then partners. What is the game plan?" Barry asks.
Rafe wraps his arm around Jo and leads her out of the bar.
Barry is carrying the duffel bag that is holding the gold.
"We're gonna sell a little bit here and a little bit there. All under the radar."
They walk down the street toward the high-end shops in Figure eight.
"Are you ready to be a businesswoman baby?"
Rafe smirks down at her as he holds the door open for her.
They walk into a jewelry store.
"We need to talk to your boss."
They get led back to an office.
Rafe pulls out a chair for Jo to sit down.
He then sits down beside her.
A man walks into the office.
"You must be Mr. Cameron. We talked on the phone."
The manager holds out his hand for Rafe to shake.
"Yes, I'm glad to finally meet you. This is Joanna. She's my future bride. This is our partner."
He nods to Barry.
"Congrats on the engagement. So what do you have for me?" the man asks.
Rafe opens the case with the gold nuggets.
He slides the case around and picks a bar up.
He does all the tests to make sure it's real gold.
Jo feels Rafe's hand on her leg as they watch the guy.
Once he finishes testing them all he turns back to them.
"Alright, we have a deal. Let's do business." The manager shakes Rafe's hand.
"Let's do business." Rafe agrees.
Jo watches as Rafe gets handed a stack of hundreds.
Jo glances at Barry to see his eyes practically sparkle at the image of all that money.
"It was a pleasure doing business with you." Rafe speaks professionally.
"I hope we can continue to do business in the future." Rafe leans to whisper to Jo.
"I'll meet you outside. I'm gonna look around for a second." he tells her.
"I don't want you to buy me anything. You hear me?" she tells him.
He just smirks at her.
"Too late baby, I ordered this a while ago." he informs her.
She shakes her head and walks outside.
A couple minutes later Rafe and Barry walk out.
She turns to face them.
Rafe has a bag in his hand.
"I take it that's for me." she raises her eyebrows at him.
He gives her another smirk.
"You'll get these later if you're a good girl." he tells her.
Her mind instantly goes back to her dream.
"Where else are we going?" she questions.
"There's a place up here where this guy will buy jewels. We're gonna go see him." Rafe informs his group.
Once they get to this club, Rafe keeps his hand on her back as he leads her toward the buyer.
Barry shows him the jewels and he inspects them.
"These are authentic." he exclaims.
He nods his head and a man places a stack of money in Rafe's hand.
"That feels a little light. Don't you think so babe?" Rafe asks with a smirk.
"I can clearly see that's too light." Jo states.
The man glances at her before he nods again and Rafe gets two more stacks in his hand.
****************************
Rafe leads Jo and Barry toward the room that has the safe.
"Alright, this is where it's gonna be. We'll keep everything in here for right now until we can find a way to move it." Rafe tells them.
Jo grabs the key that she is wearing around her neck and unlocks the safe with it.
Inside is more of the gold and jewels.
"Holy shit." she exclaims.
"It's all ours baby. We're gonna be set for life."
He wraps his arms around her from behind and lays his chin on her shoulder.
"I'm proud of you Rafe. You've really come a long way. You wouldn't be able to do any of this with drugs in your system." Jo says.
"I know. I kept my promise to you. No more cocaine and I meant it." he tells her.
Jo looks over Rafe's shoulder to Barry who is looking awkward invading the couple's moment.
"You hear that Barry? No more cocaine. Or I'm gonna be the one coming after you." she threatens.
"Yes, ma'am. Wouldn't wanna upset the queen of the house now would I?" Barry mocks sarcastically.
"Alright, none of that. There is a party going on outside. It's time to start having fun!"
Rafe pulls Jo out of the room and she puts the key back around her neck.
"It's time to give you your presents." Rafe smiles as they walk out onto the balcony.
People are drinking and dancing in the yard.
There are a few people in the house on the balcony sitting around and talking.
Rafe grabs her a drink and leads her over to one of the couches.
He slides the bag from the jewelry store onto the table.
She puts the drink down and forgets about it.
"So don't laugh. I've actually had these designs for a while. I just got around to having them done."
Jo gives him a confused look as he opens up a small box to reveal a diamond necklace.
There is a charm with the letters RC encrusted with blue jewels.
She recognizes the jewels from the cross.
She looks at him wide-eyed.
"Oh, my God. This is beautiful."
She looks in awe at the beautiful necklace.
Rafe watches her wide pride as she enjoys her gift.
"There's more."
He reaches into the bag and brings out two more small boxes.
He hands them to her.
She opens the box and it is a simple gold band with the initials RC carved in cursive.
"Rafe this is too much. I can't accept this." she tells him.
He ignores her and opens up the other box.
It's a bigger gold band with her initials carved into the band.
"I had these made a while ago. One for each of us. So that we're always with each other no matter what."
He slides the ring onto her finger that is holding her diamond engagement ring.
Rafe takes his ring and slides it onto his finger.
"You mean the world to me. And I'm gonna spend every day of my life with you proving that to you."
Her heart swells and she leans over and kisses him.
He smiles against her lips.
"This reminds me of the night I asked you to marry me." Rafe whispers against her lips.
3 Weeks Ago
Jo is walking along the beach with Wheezie.
"I really wish Sarah was here. I miss her so much."
Jo grabs the little girl's hand in hers.
"I know you do. I miss her too." Jo says.
"I heard Rose and Rafe talking about Sarah jumping off the ship. Why did she do that?" Wheezie asks her.
Before Jo can answer Rafe makes his presence known.
"Wheez, enough with the questions. Rose is looking for you. She's taking you to town tonight." Rafe tells his sister.
She rolls her eyes.
"But I haven't got to spend any time with Joanna. I need some girl time you know." Wheezie argues.
"How about we spend all day together tomorrow? No boys allowed."
Jo throws a look at Rafe.
He looks like he's gonna argue, but Jo's glare shuts him up.
"Fine. I won't bother you at all tomorrow." Rafe states.
Wheezie squeals in excitement.
"Yay! I'm so excited! It's been so long since I've had a girl's day with a sister!"
Wheezie jumps and hugs Rafe.
A smile ghosts his lips as he lets her hug him.
She takes off down the beach and back to the house.
"You are such a big softie Rafe Cameron." Jo teases.
A grin appears on his face.
"Don't tell anybody." he states jokingly.
"Nobody would believe me anyway." Jo retorts back with a smile.
Rafe's face turns nervous and he becomes serious.
"Will you have dinner with me tonight?" he asks her.
She narrows her eyes at him.
"Why are you acting weird?" she asks him with suspicion.
He makes a face.
"No reason. I just wanna have dinner with you tonight." he says.
"What's up? You're acting really weird." she presses.
"Can you just drop it? Nothing is going on."
He has a slight irritation tone in his voice.
"No. Now tell me." she raises her voice.
Rafe scoffs.
"Why are you so damn stubborn?" he spits out.
He runs his fingers through his hair with irritation.
"Why do you have to be acting so damn weird? It's weird." Jo can't find another word to speak.
"I'm not acting weird. I just want you to have dinner with me tonight. Is that too much to ask?" he raises his voice.
"You are completely acting weird. And quit yelling at me, you asshole!" Jo raises her voice.
"Then stop with the questions!" he exclaims.
"No, now tell me!" Jo demands.
"No, I'm not."
"Yes!"
"No, shut up!"
"Don't tell me to shut up you asshole!"
"I want you to fucking marry me!"
Jo stands there frozen as she locks eyes with his wide eyes.
"Wh-what?" Her voice is a whisper.
He runs his fingers through his hair and sighs in defeat.
"I had this whole thing planned out. I was gonna treat you to dinner on the beach. I had wine, flowers, and music. It was gonna be perfect."
He turns to her and grabs a box out of his pocket.
Jo stares at it frozen in shock.
"I know things haven't been the best between us and these last couple weeks have been amazing. I have never been more in love with you than I am now."
He grabs her hands in his.
"You make my head quiet. I can think more clearly when you're around. I know that I've been a jerk in the past and I've done things that I regret every day. But you make me want to be better. You make my life worth something more than just being rich. I want to become something with you by my side."
He pauses as he takes a shaky breath.
"If you don't wanna be with me, I will take you back home and you'll never have to see me again." Jo takes a sharp intake of breath.
"Will you marry me Joanna?" he asks her completely vulnerable emotion showing on his face.
She feels tears in her eyes and can only think of one answer.
She nods her head with a smile.
"Yes. Yes, I'll marry you, Rafe Cameron." She answers with a smile.
Rafe takes a breath of relief as he places the ring on her finger.
He lifts her up and kisses her passionately.
**********************************
Jo walks back out onto the balcony to find Rafe.
"There you are."
He wraps his arm around her and pulls her into his side.
He leads her to the railing where they watch people dancing and drinking in the yard.
"Hey everybody! Give a shout-out to my fiancé the baddest, hottest, chick in the OBX!" Rafe shouts.
Jo laughs as the party crowd starts cheering for her.
"If you don't have a drink in your hand, get the hell out of our house!"
Rafe takes a drink and moves away from the railing.
He starts kissing her neck.
She giggles as he tickles her.
"I never thought I would be turned on by calling this house ours."
He whispers in her ear as he pulls her closer to him.
"You wanna go upstairs?" he whispers huskily.
He grinds against her and she can feel just how hard he is for her.
He starts leading her inside.
"Don't be running away just yet love birds."
Barry comes over to them.
He hands a glass of whisky to Rafe.
They do their manly handshake.
Barry then pulls Jo into a side hug.
They go sit down in the corner away from the party.
Barry raises his glass and they toast.
Jo sips on her lemonade.
"I have to say Country Club, I didn't think this plan would work." Barry comments.
Rafe smirks as he pulls Jo to sit tightly against him.
She's sitting between the two men.
"The only one real way I see this shit falling through is both of y'all's pops." he tells them.
Jo pulls away from Rafe and sits up.
"What the hell are you talking about? My dad has nothing to do with this." Jo exclaims.
"Rafe mentioned that your pops is threatening to send you away. I happen to know something that can stop that from happening." Barry tells her.
She gives him a look of confusion.
"Spit it out already." she rushes him.
"Just tell her man. She has the right to know." Rafe tells him.
She turns to face Rafe.
"You know?" she questions.
"Your pops hired me to clean up a mess. I got rid of a boat for him. There was blood all over the place." Barry finally tells her.
"What the hell? Whose boat was it?" she demands to know.
"I don't know. But I didn't get rid of it completely. The things I kept have his fingerprints all over them." he tells her.
Jo's eyes widen.
"Were you planning on blackmailing him?" she asks angrily.
"I wouldn't do that. I kept it for insurance purposes. You can use this information to keep him off your back for good." Barry tells her.
She stands up and shakes her head.
"You are unbelievable you know that." she scoffs.
"We're in business together now Joanna. I'm not gonna jeopardize that. But I'm not gonna let your father mess this deal up for me. And if he manages to send you away, it's gonna ruin everything in more ways than one. Face it, the three of us are in this together now." Barry finishes.
Rafe stands up to stand by her.
"Are you okay?" he asks.
She nods her head.
She puts on a fake smile.
"Yea, I'm fine. I'll handle my father."
She kisses him quickly and turns away to walk back inside.
She runs up to Rafe's room where her phone is charging.
She grabs her phone and texts her dad.
She asks him where he is.
He responds back that he's at Anna and Mike's anniversary party.
She texts him back saying that she will meet him there and that they have to talk.

*Pogue for Life* Happy Anniversary Part 1
SMUT WARNING!!! 18+
Jo is standing in a bedroom when she feels arms wrap around her from behind.
"You didn't really think you could run from me, did you? You know I will always find you." Rafe tells her as he kisses down her neck.
She moans and leans her head back against his shoulder giving him better access.
"You're mine, baby, forever."
Rafe snakes his hands up her shirt and palms her breasts.
His thumbs rub against her nipples making them hard.
Jo lets out a gasp.
She can feel his hard cock pressing against her ass.
She closes her eyes and wraps her arm around his neck pulling his face down to hers.
She feels Rafe's lips on hers for a passionate kiss.
She then feels a second set of lips on her neck.
She opens her eyes to see JJ pressed against her front.
She moans when she feels his hand slide down into her shorts.
He rubs her clit through her panties before he moves them to the side and slides two fingers inside her.
She lets out a loud moan as Rafe's grip tightens on her.
He slides her shirt off of her leaving her bare.
JJ attaches his lips to her nipple and sucks as his hand rubs the other one.
She feels her shorts being lowered to the floor along with her panties.
"Is this what you wanted?" Rafe whispers in her ear.
"Do you want the both of us together?"
JJ questions as he looks up at her as he sticks his tongue out and licks her nipple.
"Oh God JJ!"
Jo runs her hand through his hair keeping him there.
"Tell us what you want baby." Rafe whispers in her ear as his hands part her ass cheeks and his finger slowly slides inside her tiny hole.
"Do you wanna feel us both at the same time?" JJ's fingers speed up.
"You should feel how wet she is. Our girl wants it bad."
JJ grabs her face and kisses her softly on the lips.
"Are you gonna be a good girl for us and take us both?" Rafe adds another finger stretching her out.
"Oh God, please!" Jo moans.
Rafe grabs her and pulls her away from JJ.
"Lay on the bed Maybank." Rafe commands.
JJ listens and lies on the bed.
Rafe guides Jo so she's straddling JJ.
She feels JJ's cock against her wet pussy.
"I need you both please." Jo begs.
She feels JJ slide inside her.
She gasps out in pleasure.
She feels Rafe behind her.
He spreads her ass cheeks and she feels the head of his cock against her ass.
"Please." Jo begs.
She feels a fullness then everything goes black.
*****************************
The sound of the water hitting the boat wakes Jo up.
It is still dark out and the stars are shining brightly and the moon is reflecting off the water.
Her heart is beating quickly and she feels how tense she is.
She has never had a wet dream like that before.
She feels Rafe's arm wrapped tightly around her.
But it isn't Rafe that she was only dreaming about.
She woke up because she was having a dream about JJ and all of her feelings come rushing back for him.
She slowly pulls away from Rafe and gets up from the mattress that he pulled up to the top deck so they could sleep under the stars.
She goes down to the lower deck and sits on one of the lounge chairs.
She pulls her legs up to her chest and stares out at the water.
Even though she said that she chose Rafe, all she keeps thinking about is JJ and the other Pogues.
She feels guilty for knowing that Pope is never gonna be able to get the cross again.
She hears movement from behind her and Rafe comes around and sits down beside her on the other chair.
"What are you doing up? I can't sleep without you there." he tells her.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you. I just couldn’t sleep." she tells him sleepily.
"Well I can easily put you back to sleep." he smirks.
He rubs her thigh as he leans in closer to her.
She gives him a look.
"You've worn me out enough. You're like a rabid animal." she jokes.
Rafe pulls her arm until she takes the hint and climbs onto his lap.
He throws a blanket over the top of them.
"That's what you do to me, baby. I go crazy when I'm not with you."
He traces the love bites that he left on her neck with his fingertips.
"I just feel bad sometimes. I wish things weren't the way that they were and I can have you and my friends." she confesses to him.
"I don't like it, but I'm not stopping you from being with your friends. I'm trying to be different this time around. I'm not gonna lose you because of some stupid feud." he tells her.
She turns in his arms to face him.
"Do you really mean that? You would do that for me?" she asks him.
He grabs her face in his hands.
"I would do anything for you. You just have to let me do it." he says to her.
"Would you even leave them alone and not go out of your way to attack them anymore?" she questions.
"If that's what you really want, then I will leave them alone." he states.
She smiles at him and connects her lips with his.
She quickly stands up suddenly.
She throws a hand over her mouth and runs toward the bathroom.
She makes it just in time and throws up her dinner in the toilet.
She feels Rafe hold her hair back and rub his hand over her back soothingly.
"It's alright baby. Let it all out." He gives her soft words.
Jo finally stands up and Rafe hands her a glass of water.
She swishes her mouth out and brushes her teeth.
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I hope I'm not getting sick." she comments.
"Come on. Let me get you back to bed. I'm gonna take us back home." he tells her.
She heads over to the mattress and lays back down.
He covers her up and then heads up to the wheel to take them back to Tannyhill.
She falls asleep to the motion of the water hitting the boat.
***************************
When Jo wakes up again, it is daylight and she is back in Rafe's bed at Tannyhill.
She looks over and sees that his side is empty.
She glances up to see him walk back into the room.
He's already dressed and he's wearing a nice button-down shirt and pressed pants.
"Good morning, baby. How do you feel?" he asks.
He sits down on the edge of the bed and leans over her.
She puts her hand on the side of his face.
"I feel a lot better now. Must have just been what I ate." she tells him.
"You look really nice today. What's the special occasion?" she asks jokingly.
"Barry and I have meetings today to sell off some of this gold. I gotta meet him in a little bit. Are you up to come with me?" he asks her.
"You want me to come with you?" she asks in shock.
He smiles down at her.
"Of course I do. I told you, we're equals in this. Besides I'm gonna have a very important job for you." he tells her.
She gives him a suspicious look.
"What kind of job?" she presses.
"I'll fill you in in a bit." he says.
He moves out of the way so she can get up from the bed.
His mouth drops when all she's wearing is one of his shirts and a pair of panties.
"You can drool on me later. I guess I should wake myself up." she comments as she walks into the bathroom.
She starts brushing her teeth and washing her face.
She hears Rafe raising his voice.
She starts to get worried and walks out into the bedroom.
She freezes when she finds Ward sitting on the small couch in the room.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!"
She catches the attention of both the Cameron men.
She crosses her arms and comes to stand beside Rafe.
"What the hell is he doing here?" she demands to know.
"So you roped Joanna in on this? What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you melt the cross down?" Ward yells at Rafe.
"Because you can't trace spare parts, Dad. What do you mean?" Rafe yells back.
"Did Joanna not explain the significance of this cross?! It is one of a kind!" Ward continues to scream at Rafe.
"First of all, quit dragging Joanna into this conversation! And second, what is the big issue? Please enlighten me!"
Rafe pushes Jo behind him slightly.
She sends him an irritated look.
"I can talk for myself ya know." she mutters.
She turns to Ward.
"And for your information, I didn't know he melted it. But Rafe is gonna do whatever he wants to do, no matter who says anything to him about it. You raised him to be that way. So don't come crying when he finally stands up for himself." Jo glares at Ward.
"Can you go put some clothes on please?" Rafe bends down and whispers to her.
Jo rolls her eyes, but she listens and she grabs a change of clothes and walks into the bathroom to change.
She hears him talking to his dad.
"Stop! I'm talking now!"
She hears Rafe shout to his dad.
She listens to the sound of his voice as she gets dressed.
"I was held hostage at Singh's. I put Joanna in that situation. We didn't know if we were gonna live or die. I made a promise to myself, Dad. I told myself that if I got us out of there, I wasn't just gonna sit around and wait for a handout from you. I was gonna take what's mine. Rightfully mine. I'm stepping up and I'm taking care of me and mine. I'm gonna make sure Joanna has everything she ever wants. I'm starting a new life and a family without you." She hears Rafe tell his dad.
Her hand instantly goes to her stomach.
She reaches into her bag and pulls out a small calendar book.
She looks at the dates before her eyes start to widen in realization.
"I'm not starting over in Guadalupe. Why the hell would I start over there?" She hears Rafe question.
She steps back out and leans her shoulder against the door frame so she can listen and be involved.
"We can't stay here Rafe." Ward argues.
"You mean, you can't stay here. I can." Rafe tells him with a smirk.
Ward looks at him wide-eyed.
"I got a crew here. I got my home. I got my beautiful soon-to-be wife here. Did you really expect me to just up and leave her here? Come on Dad, you have to know me better than that by now." Rafe tells him.
He towers over Ward.
"What I'm saying is, I don't need you anymore."
Jo watches Rafe finally stand up to Ward and she freezes.
This is a new Rafe, and she doesn't know whether to be scared or impressed.
"Rafe, Rafe, Rafe wait."
Ward tries to stop Rafe from leaving the room.
Rafe shoves Ward into the wall.
He slams his arm over his chest to hold him still. Jo jumps at the interaction.
"Rafe-" Jo warns.
"What are you gonna do? You gonna hit me?" Rafe smirks.
"With your cane?" Rafe taunts Ward.
Jo finally sees the hold that Ward always has Rafe under, crumble into a million pieces.
"I'm gonna sell my gold. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna do whatever the hell I want. And there's actually nothing you can do about it. So do everybody here a favor and go home." Rafe tells him.
He pulls away from Ward and reaches over to grab Jo's hand.
He pulls her out of the room and down the steps.
He reaches into his pocket and pulls out some money.
"Here take this and go get some breakfast." he tells her.
"Are you sure? Do you want anything?" she asks him.
"No, I'm okay. I'm just gonna hang out here for a bit until he leaves." he informs her.
"Okay. I'm gonna be at the Wreck if you need me." she tells him.
She leans up and kisses him on the lips.
Before she can pull away, he grabs her waist and pulls her against him.
He deepens the kiss.
"I love you. I'll meet you there once he leaves." Rafe tells her.
"I love you too."
She walks out the front door and heads for the range rover.
*****************************
Jo pulls up to the Wreck and gets out.
She spots Kie heading in her direction.
Jo stops in front of her awkwardly.
"Hey." Jo greets.
"Hey. Where have you been? I've been trying to call you." Kie questions.
She notices that Jo is acting weird.
"I've just been laying low." Jo awkwardly answers.
"Okay?"
Kie and Jo walk inside.
Jo follows Kie up to the register.
"Do you have some time for us to talk? I just feel like it's been a while since we've been able to talk." Jo pleads with Kie.
"I mean I have to help my parents set up for their party. But I'm sure they wouldn't mind if we hung out for a bit." Kie tells her.
Jo looks over and spots Sarah sitting at a table with Topper.
She waves to them and Topper waves back.
"I don't wanna know what she's doing with him." Kie comments.
They walk back outside and head for Jo's car.
"I can't believe that Rafe just gave you a car to drive." Kie laughs.
They look up as Sarah rushes to them.
"Guys, it's not what it looks like." Jo raises her eyebrows in amusement.
"I wasn't thinking anything." Jo tells her.
"It's not really any of my business." Kie comments.
"I need to talk to you guys." Sarah tells them.
Jo laughs.
"It seems like we both need to talk because I just told Kie that."
They all pile in the car and Jo drives back to Kie's house.
Once Kie puts the food in the house she comes back out.
Jo and Sarah are sitting on the porch furniture.
"Alright, who wants to go first?" Kie asks.
"Can we just stop and pay attention to the fact that Jo, you look different?" Sarah states.
Jo gives her a confused look.
"What do you mean I look different?" Jo questions.
"I don't know. I can't really put my finger on it. It's almost like you're-"
Kie cuts Sarah off.
"Glowing." Kie breathes out.
Jo scoffs as she looks between her two friends.
"Glowing? Why the hell would I be glowing? JJ won't talk to me. I feel like I haven't seen any of you in days. Oh, and I just found out that Rafe had the cross, but decided to melt it down." She informs them as she rants.
"Wait, what?"
"What the fuck?"
The girls exclaim to the news.
"Yea, so Rafe melted down the cross, and I have no idea how to tell Pope. I feel like such a shitty friend. I've just been missing JJ like crazy. I'm always crying and when I'm not crying I'm wishing that I was sleeping. I just don't know what's wrong with me." Jo finishes her little rant.
"We'll get back to the cross in a minute. Do you still have feelings for JJ?" Kie asks.
Jo pulls her legs up to her chest.
"I never stopped. Things have just been so complicated since the Coastal Venture." Jo tells them with tears in her eyes.
"If you miss Jay, then you need to tell him." Sarah says.
Jo shakes her head.
"He doesn't wanna talk to me now. He hates me." Jo wipes tears from her eyes.
"He doesn't hate you. The whole time on the island all he talked about was you. I know he's probably confused about your situation with Rafe. But he doesn't hate you." Sarah says to her.
"Don't be mad at me for asking this, but do you think you could be pregnant?" Kie asks her.
Jo's face turns up and she shakes her head.
"No. Not a shot in hell. I'm on birth control. Have been for a long while." Jo tells them.
"It's just the only thing that would make sense." Kie presses.
Sarah looks at her wide-eyed.
"Would it be Rafe's or JJ's?" Sarah asks.
Jo shoots her a glare.
"I'm not pregnant. So just get that out of your head now." Jo snaps.
"It's gone."
"Didn't happen."
The girls mumble as they giggle.
Jo stands up and starts to pace.
"I also have to tell you something else." Jo says as she continues to pace.
"Oh, God. What is it?" Sarah asks.
Jo finally stops and looks at Sarah.
"Ward is here." she says.
"What do you mean he's here?" Sarah instantly questions.
"He showed up to Tannyhill this morning to yell at Rafe. I'm not gonna be surprised if he tries to reach out to you." Jo mumbles to Sarah.
"This is too much. I can't handle this right now. I have other problems." Sarah says.
"Are you gonna tell us what happened with Topper?" Kie asks her.
"It's kinda embarrassing actually." Sarah starts.
"He caught me and Jo slugging beer from a Tiki Bar." Sarah laughs as Kie gives her a look.
"Yea, it was a pretty funny sight to see." Jo laughs.
"You weren't." Kie sounds disappointed.
"I'm not judging." Kie laughs.
"We've been caught doing worse." Jo comments.
"A couple of kids from KCD rolled up and they were already heading out to Mase. One thing led to another and I kissed him." Sarah confesses.
Jo and Kie share a look.
"Do you guys hate me?" Sarah hesitantly asks.
"Hate isn't the word." Kie comments.
"I'm the last person to judge about any relationship mess. I mean look at me. I'm in love with two guys and it's dragging everybody apart. You just kissed another guy. Easy fix compared to mine." Jo says as she looks out at the water.
"Yea, you really got yourself tangled up in a mess." Kie agrees.
"So are you and John B just done?" Kie asks Sarah.
Jo glances at Sarah waiting for her answer.
"No, well, I don't know. I don't wanna be. I love him. Since the island, everything has felt so abnormal. And it felt nice to just feel something normal for one day. I'm a mess. I'm a big mess." Sarah sighs.
Jo sits down beside Sarah and lays her head on her shoulder.
"I think we're all a little messed up." Kie says.
"Things just haven't been the same, and I miss how things used to be." Jo confesses.
"Everybody has gone off the rails. John B is acting sketchy as hell. JJ stole my dad's money clip. That is so out of character for JJ to do. I know he isn't handling being back well." Kie says.
"Do you talk to JJ a lot?" Jo questions.
Kie sends her a look.
"It's not like that. He's completely in love with you." Kie tells her.
"But we did get close to the island. He has been confiding in me about his feelings. Which is why I am so mad that he took my dad's money clip. I trusted him and he ruined that." Kie says.
Jo shakes her head.
"He's not in the right head space right now. Don't be too mad at him." Jo says.
Sarah's phone beeps and she looks down at it.
"Wheezie?" Sarah shows the voicemail icon.
Sarah listens to the message.
"Wheezie is here. She ran away and wants to meet up." Sarah tells them.
"I wouldn't trust it. Ward is back. It's too big of a coincidence." Jo states.
"Jo may be right. Just be careful." Kie also comments.

*Pogue for Life* The Dark Forest Part 2
They finally make it to the beach and Sarah and Jo end up walking alone as Topper and Kelce go out in the water.
All around them are other teens dancing and drinking.
Sarah has a beer in her hand and Jo has a bottle of water.
"Are you sure you're okay? You haven’t been drinking much." Sarah speaks to Jo.
"Yea, I'm fine, really, just not in a drinking mood." Jo excuses.
"You would tell me if something was up right?" Sarah pushes.
"Nothing is up Sarah. I promise. Just with everything going on, I don't think I should be drinking right now." Jo argues.
They spot the girls that Kelce showed up with and sat down with them.
"Hey."
"Hi."
They watch as Topper jumps around on the water while on his surfboard.
"I don't mean to pry, but Sarah were you really on a deserted island for a month?" One of the girls asks.
"Yea, I was." she answers.
"That is pretty awesome. No parents and no school just hanging out on the beach the whole day." The girls giggle.
Sarah grabs Jo's hand and squeezes.
"Alright, Joanna, you have to spill the beans to us. Is it true that you and Rafe Cameron are back together?" One of the girls asks.
Topper and Kelce come up to the girls.
"Quit asking them questions. Just let them breathe and enjoy themselves." Topper defends.
"I mean I'm just saying that if you weren't back together you wouldn't be here with us right now." Kelce states.
"I think it's romantic. You guys were the 'it' couple. Broke up, had your little fun, then you find your way back together again. That's like the perfect romantic fantasy."
The girl sitting closest to Jo says to her.
Jo listens to the words and she starts to question whether or not that may be true.
What if the reason why she's so conflicted is that maybe JJ is just supposed to be a phase?
Jo finally turns her attention back to the girls.
She shrugs her shoulders.
"It's complicated." she tells them.
"Is it because of JJ Maybank?" The girls continue to question.
Topper reaches his hands down for Sarah and Jo to grab.
He pulls them up to stand.
"Enough with the questions. The girls just got back here. Don't smother them with questions." Topper snaps at the girls.
"It's fine really. I'm sure people have questions about what's going on." Jo defends.
Kelce comes over and wraps his arm around Topper's shoulder.
"Well, it's about to get less complicated cause here comes your boy." Kelce tells Jo.
She turns her head and Rafe is walking down the beach toward them.
He has a drink in his hand and a smirk on his face as he greets people as he passes them.
His whole appearance mesmerizes her and she remembers the very first time she met Rafe and it was on this very beach.
5 Years Ago
The beach is crowded with kids and families.
A stage is set up with a banner that says OBX Beach Concert Night.
Jo is standing with Kie and John B as they watch the stage as the band is setting up.
"Are you guys sticking around long for this thing?" John B asks them.
"Yeah, I kinda wanna see the band. Maybe they're good." Jo says.
"JJ and I are gonna get a couple of blunts and head back to the Chateau. You guys should come." John B tells them.
JJ and Pope quickly make their way through the crowd toward their friends.
"Yo, man I got the bud." JJ states as he glances toward Jo.
"Yea, so what are we doing?" Pope asks.
"The girls wanna see the band. What do you guys think?" John B asks the boys.
"I mean if the girls wanna see the band, we should totally smoke this while watching the band." JJ suggests placing an arm around Jo.
"We're gonna get caught smoking it here." Jo gives JJ a pointed look.
"Look how nice these Kook beaches are, let's go down that way and smoke then come back." JJ continues to suggest.
"I mean what could it hurt?" John B agrees.
"Alright, let me grab a drink and I'll meet you guys." Jo tells them.
Jo completely misses the longing look that JJ throws her way as he watches her walk away from them and over to the concession stand.
Jo looks around the beach as she waits in line.
The band starts playing and she turns toward the stage.
As she does she locks eyes with a pair of blue eyes.
She could tell the boy was a Kook, and he was a couple of years older than her.
She feels herself blush and quickly looks away.
She manages to get her drink and heads through the crowd to get to her friends.
Someone pushes her and she collides with a person, spilling her drink all over him.
"Oh fuck! I am so sorry!" Jo quickly apologizes.
"Can't you watch what you're do-"
He stops his words as they lock eyes.
It's the same boy that she was staring at in line.
Her jaw drops and she is at a loss for words.
He is staring at her like she is the only person on the beach and she has his full attention.
"I-I'm so sorry. Someone pushed me and I wasn't expecting it and lost my balance." Jo quickly explains.
"Forget it." he tells her as he waves his hand.
"I'm Rafe." he introduces.
Jo lets a small smile appear on her face.
"Hi, I'm Joanna."
He holds out his hand and she takes it.
When their hands connect, she feels a spark shoot up her arm.
And by the look on his face, he feels it too.
"I should get back to my friends." Jo pulls her hand back.
"Yeah, I'm here with a few people too. Maybe I'll see you around." he tells her.
"Hopefully." She smiles at him.
She turns to walk back toward her friends.
She stops and turns back around.
He's standing there watching her walk away.
********************************
Rafe finally makes it to the group and wraps an arm around Jo's waist and pulls her back so her back is against his chest.
"You weren't answering your phone. I've been trying to call you." he whispers in her ear.
"I'm sorry. I left it in the car. I needed to clear my head." she tells him.
"By partying at Mase?" Rafe questions with amusement.
Rafe finally notices Sarah standing there and he looks down at the ground awkwardly.
"Hey Sarah, I wanna show you something." Topper states as he pulls on her hand.
"Okay, yea that would be awesome. Let's go."
Sarah agrees as she lets Topper pull her away from the group.
"Sorry." Jo mouths to Sarah.
"So what's up man? This almost feels like old times again with you guys here together." Kelce states drunkenly to Rafe and Jo.
Rafe looks down at Jo and gives her an expected look.
"Well, things are a little different now." Rafe states.
"How so?" Kelce asks looking between the two of them.
"Should we tell them, babe?" Rafe asks Jo.
Jo opens her mouth, but nothing comes out.
"We're engaged." Rafe tells the group.
The girls start squealing and stand up.
Kelce's jaw drops to the ground.
"Holy shit, bro are you serious?" he asks.
"Let us see the ring!"
Jo shows them the ring on the chain around her neck.
"It's so beautiful oh my God!"
"Of course, it's a diamond."
"Only the best from a Cameron."
Rafe gives Kelce a smirk.
"I've never been more serious about anything in my life bro." Rafe tells him.
"Why is it on your neck instead of on your finger?" one of the girls asks.
"Oh, I didn't wanna damage it or lose it." she tells them.
"Girl I don't blame you. You wanna hold onto that for sure."
"You are one lucky girl."
Rafe wraps his hand around her hips pulling her against him.
"Bro that's awesome though. Congrats you two. Now we don't have to watch him pine after you anymore." Kelce jokes.
"I wasn't pining shut up Kelce." Rafe glares.
"You were so pining. It was pathetic really."
Jo laughs and Rafe just rolls his eyes.
"Whatever man." Rafe scoffs under his breath.
"Who wants another drink?" Kelce asks passing the clear bottle around.
"You're just drinking water today?" Rafe whispers in her ear.
They end up swaying their bodies back and forth in tune with each other.
"Yeah, I just don't feel like drinking today." she tells him.
"Are you okay? You've been acting weird." he asks her.
He grabs her hand and pulls her away from the crowd.
"Yo! Where you going?" Kelce shouts after them.
Rafe leads them further down the beach away from the partying teens.
*******************************"
Where are we going?" Jo asks him.
Rafe finally stops and grabs both of her hands.
"Do you remember this spot?" he asks her.
Jo looks around the beach and her eyes widen.
"Is this where the concert was?" she asks with a smile.
"Standing right here was where I saw you for the first time and knew I just had to get to know you." Rafe tells her.
"The funny thing is I was just thinking about that day." Jo tells him.
Her smile vanishes as she steps away from him and looks at the waves crashing against the sand.
He watches her deep in thought.
"If you're having doubts about me you need to tell me now." he tells her as he steps closer to her.
"It's not you Rafe. You've been great. It's my dad." she tells him.
"What about your dad?" he asks quickly.
"He wants to send me to the mainland to live with my aunt and uncle." she confesses to him.
"What? Why are you just now telling me about this?!" he raises his voice.
"Because I knew how you would react!" she raises her voice back.
"Do you want to go? Because if you do I won't stop you. But if you don't wanna go, you gotta trust me to take care of it for you." he tells her as he grabs her face in his hand.
"I don’t wanna go Rafe. My friends are here. You are here. I wouldn't survive if I left." she tells him, her eyes pleading.
"Then don't worry about leaving with them, okay? I will take care of it. Do you trust me?" he asks her.
She nods her head.
He leans down and kisses her softly.
"I want you to stay with me. Your dad won't dare to come to Tannyhill looking for you. I'll have him arrested for trespassing." he tells her as his eyes darken.
"I don't want all of that done." she objects.
"I'm not letting them take you away from me. Do you understand?"
He tilts her head so she's looking at him.
She sees the determination in his eyes and gives in.
"I understand." she says.
"I love you. I'm the better version of myself when I'm with you. You make me a better man. I will literally do anything for you."
He leans down to grab the back of her thighs and lift her up so she wraps her legs around his waist.
Her arms go around his neck. He sits down in the sand with her straddling him.
"I do love you too Rafe. I've been so happy this past month. Thank you for that." she whispers to him.
"I can't imagine my life without you in it. I know now that I let the drinking and the drugs control me because I didn't have your love to help me through my demons. You are my salvation, Joanna Marie Mills soon to be Cameron."
Rafe unhooks the necklace from her neck to get the ring.
He grabs her left hand and slides the ring back on her finger.
"It's back where it belongs." he kisses her hand.
She feels butterflies all over her stomach.
She grabs his face and kisses him.
His grip tightens on her thighs as they deepen the kiss.
She starts grinding against his hardening cock.
He pulls away but keeps his grip.
"What do you say we go back to the boat? Take it out for a little moonlight ride?" he suggests.
"I like that idea."
She smiles and stands up.
"I just have to tell Sarah and Top that I'm leaving." she says as they walk back towards the party hand in hand.
"That's fine. I'll just meet you by the boat."
He gives her one more kiss before he walks off so she can talk to Sarah.
****************************
Rafe finally takes the boat back to the marina.
Jo is downstairs changing her clothes after a shower.
She comes back up to the main deck to see Rafe talking on the phone.
She is towel-drying her hair when he finally spots her.
He ends the phone call and gives her his full attention.
"You feel better?" he asks her.
"I feel loads better." she tells him.
She's only wearing one of his shirts and a pair of short sleep shorts.
"I need to talk to you about something." he says to her.
"Okay? What's going on?" she asks him giving him a suspicious look.
"I need to know that you're completely with me. Because I want you by my side with this. It doesn't feel right leaving you in the dark. But it's a conflict of interest for you." he tells her.
He grabs a briefcase and slides it across the table.
He opens the case and there are small bars of gold and jewels.
Jo stands up and looks at him with shock.
"What did you do Rafe?" she questions.
"I melted the cross. I'm gonna sell everything off and we're gonna be set for life." he tells her.
She steps away from him and feels like she's gonna be sick.
"I know that the Pogues tried to steal it back and I know that you were involved."
She gives him a look.
"But I don't care about any of that. I need to know right now that you're with me. I take care of you and you take care of me. We take care of each other. I need you by my side as my equal. It's you and me for life baby." he tells her sincerely.
Jo takes a deep breath as she feels herself getting upset by what Rafe has done.
"What have you done Rafe? That cross was historical! It was a piece of Pope's family history! And you just melted it down like it was nothing!"
Rafe tries to reach for her, but she pulls away.
"Don't touch me. I need a minute."
She leans against the railing and puts her hands over her face.
She feels guilty for what Rafe has done.
But she knows deep down that it doesn't stop her from feeling for him.
"I need you to look at me right now."
Rafe grabs her and turns her so she's facing him.
He grabs her chin and makes her look at him.
"I am doing this for us. I am doing this so I can protect you against your father so he can't come and just take you. I'm trying to make a name for myself here. I need you to answer me. Are you all in with me? Yes or no?" he demands that she answer him.
She looks conflicted, but ultimately she knows the answer.
She looks at his face.
"I am not happy about you melting the cross. But I am with you all the way as your partner and fiancé." she says to him.
He grins happily down at her.
He plants his lips on hers and picks her up by her waist.
He spins her around.
"I love you." he tells her.
"I love you too." she responds.
As she is in his arms, she can't help but feel guilty about choosing him over her friends.
What she doesn't see is that Pope and Cleo see the whole exchange between the couple.

*Pogue for Life* The Dark Forest Part 1
Jo is just standing by the door.
"Dad? What are you doing here?" she asks him.
Buzz stands up from sitting on the couch.
"I knew you would be back here. You and I got to have a little chat." he tells her.
Jo sighs in frustration.
"Dad, it's been a long night. I would rather go to bed. We can talk later." she tells him.
She heads back toward her room.
"There won't be a later. Your Aunt Cynthia and Uncle Rodney are coming down in a couple of days. You're gonna go stay with them for a while." he informs her.
"What the hell are you talking about? I'm not going anywhere!" she tells him.
"I think it's for the best. Your life here hasn't been good for a while now. And I blame myself for that. I let myself get roped in on the drama of the Royal Merchant." he says to her.
"Dad, please, I don't wanna go anywhere. My friends need me." she pleads.
"Your friends will be fine without you. Right now my main concern is you. You need to get put back on the right path." he tells her.
"And my cult religious aunt and uncle are the way to do that?!" she retorts sarcastically.
"I think a little Jesus in your life will do you some good." he says.
"Well, I don't. They will have just wasted a trip down here because I am not going. They would have to drag me off this island by my hair." she tells him firmly.
Buzz steps closer to his daughter.
"If that is what it takes to keep you safe from all of this dangerous shit, then so be it."
The look in his eye makes Jo tense up.
She knows that he's serious.
She takes a deep breath and tries to think of something to say.
"Dad, I know that you love me and only want the best for me. But forcing me to leave isn't doing either one of us any favors. I know that you're upset about the choices that I have been making, but you have to understand that I am not a little girl anymore. You can't keep babying me and expecting me to make the choices that you want me to make. I am my own person who just wants to live life. Sending me away will not help me like you think it would." she says to him calmly.
Buzz sighs in frustration.
"They'll be here in a couple of days. I expect you to be ready." Buzz tells her in a final tone.
She starts to feel tears in her eyes.
She puts a hand over her mouth so he doesn't hear her cry as he walks out the door.
Buzz is heading back to his truck when he spots Big John leaning against the side of it.
"I've been trying to call you. I came to show you. We found the other piece."
John unwraps the completed artifact and shows him.
"You found the other half?"
Buzz looks at it closely in awe.
"John B and I did. It wasn't easy either. I need you to come with me to meet with someone to have it translated." Big John tells him.
Buzz hands him back the gnomon.
"Listen, we've been through a lot together throughout the years. And you know that I'll do anything for you. But I'm done with the treasure hunting." Buzz tells John.
"What are you talking about? This is what we've been waiting for! We're on the right track to find El Dorado." John tries to convince him.
"Not anymore. I just got my daughter back home. I'm getting ready to start a campaign for mayor. I have all of these plans and not one of them involves treasure hunting." Buzz says.
Big John looks at him with disbelief.
"Do you hear the words that are coming out of your mouth right now? You're a coward. You just wanna up and quit when things get hard. Just like old times. You would rather have a paramedic career instead of a treasure hunt!" Big John argues.
"It's a lost cause, John! I have more important things to worry about like my family. My daughter has no business being involved in any of this." Buzz argues back.
"Take a look around Buzz, your daughter has been involved in this from the start! She is not a little girl anymore. So quit treating her like one. I may be the less obvious one around, but even I can see you're just pushing your kid away by protecting her. You're gonna run her straight into Rafe Cameron's arms. And that would be the true consequence of you trying to protect her." Big John tells him.
"Just mind your own business, John." Buzz spits out.
John scoffs at him.
"I don't even recognize you anymore. You've become the Kooks we used to make fun of. Maybe I am better off doing this on my own."
John gives Buzz a sad shake of his head and turns to walk away from him.
Buzz just clinches his jaw in anger.
*****************************
Jo manages to calm herself down and stop crying.
She sneaks a peek out the front door and spots her dad in a heated argument with Big John.
She rushes to her room and throws clothes into her big Victoria's Secret duffel bag.
She grabs a bunch of stuff that she thinks she needs and wants to keep.
She throws the bag out the window.
She hears the thud of it hitting the ground.
She then follows behind and climbs out the window.
She grabs her bag and rushes across the lawn to go over to John B's.
She dumps her duffel on the porch and listens for the sounds of her friends' voices.
She finds them in the back together talking.
Kie is the first one to spot her.
"Hey, there you are." she comments.
"Where have you been?" Pope questions her.
JJ looks up and glances at her.
"Sorry, I just had a big fight with my dad. What did I just miss?" she questions.
"Well, I was just telling everyone that my dad and I went to the archives in Charleston and uh, it was a dead end." John B states.
Jo can instantly tell that John B isn't telling the complete truth.
"So that's it? We're just done?" Jo questions with disbelief.
"So we lost the gold, the cross, and now El Dorado. Looks like we're three for three."
Pope throws something at a tree.
He storms off angrily.
"I'll see you guys around." Kie states as she follows Pope.
Jo feels a tightening in her chest.
She feels awkward being in a place that has always felt like home to her.
She is starting to feel like she doesn't belong here anymore.
She doesn't notice JJ watching her as she turns around to rush into the Chateau.
She runs to the bathroom and throws up.
Once she finally finishes, she rinses her mouth with mouthwash she finds in the cabinet.
She goes back out to the porch to grab her bag but sees JJ sitting beside it.
"Are you feeling okay?" he asks her.
He hands her a bottle of water and motions for her to sit down with him.
She takes the bottle and sits down on the couch.
"I'm alright. Just everything going on has my stomach upset." she tells him.
"Where are you going?" he asks as he nods his head toward the bag.
She shrugs her shoulders.
"I don't know. My dad is threatening to send me away." she tells him.
"Wait, what?" he stares at her with wide eyes.
"My aunt and uncle are coming down here to get me and take me back to the mainland and across the country. He says that's what is best for me right now. He thinks that all of this treasure hunting has only led to trouble." she tells him void of all emotion.
"What do you need me to do? I don’t want you to leave. You can't leave. I- I wouldn't know what to do if you left me." JJ tells her.
He stands up and starts pacing.
Jo watches him and finally speaks.
"I think we need to have that talk now Jay." she tells him.
He shakes his head.
"I'm not ready for you to pick him. I mean what do I have? Nothing. He can give you things that I can't." he speaks softly.
Jo stands up and grabs his face.
"Quit talking bad about yourself Jay. You are amazing. You care about all of us and you're always here to help. You have such a big heart and I love you so much. And I am so sorry that I didn't take that leap with you guys." she whispers to him.
He leans down and stops just before their lips touch.
She can feel his breath on her lips, and she wants nothing more than to kiss him.
JJ scoffs and pulls her hands off his face.
"You can't come here and say this stuff to me when you're wearing another man's ring on your finger! That's not fair to me. You chose Rafe. You chose to stay with him instead of jumping off the ship with us." JJ raises his voice sounding heartbroken.
"If I had jumped he would have shot you!" Jo argues back.
"You don't know that. If he loves you like you say he does, he wouldn't have shot at the boat and you would have been there with us."
Jo feels tears in her eyes again.
"But you chose to stay ultimately choosing him. I mean look at you, your nails are done and you're driving a range rover. You look like a Kook to me."
His words cut her deeply.
She doesn't know what to say to him.
He turns to walk off the porch but turns to say something else to her.
"I hope you do leave the island. That way I won't have to see you with him and it keeps you away from him."
He regrets the words as soon as he says them, but he turns to quickly leave the porch before anything else can be said.
He listens as he hears her sit back down and start to openly cry.
********************************
Jo finally leaves the porch and grabs her bag and heads for the car that Rafe gave her.
She throws the bag in the back and sits in the car.
She hesitates because she has nowhere to go at the moment.
She doesn't wanna anger her dad and go to Tannyhill to Rafe, but she doesn't want to go to her dad's house since he's threatening to ship her off.
And both of them would find her at her mom's trailer.
She finally pulls out and just drives around.
She drives through town and decides to park the car and walk.
She walks around town, then makes it down to the marina.
She looks up to see Sarah riding her bike towards her.
"Hey." she greets her friend.
Sarah stops the bike in front of Jo.
She looks like she's been outside for a while and looks thirsty.
"Are you okay?" Jo asks her.
Sarah jumps off her bike and heads for a closed shop.
Jo watches as Sarah jumps over the counter and starts drinking beer from the tap.
"I could have bought you a beer if you wanted one so badly."
Jo laughs as she reaches over and grabs a water bottle from the cooler.
"Here's to going full pogue." Sarah mumbles.
Jo raises her eyebrow in question.
"if you need some money, Sarah, I can get you some." Jo tells her.
She shakes her head.
"I don't want you to get in trouble with Rafe." Sarah tells her.
"It's not gonna be a problem. I'll just have to pull some money off of this card." Jo shrugs her shoulders.
She jumps up on the counter and sits sideways.
"It won't be a problem. It's the least he can do is give you some money." Jo tells her.
"Do you want some?" Sarah asks holding up the tap to Jo.
Jo finally shrugs her shoulders again.
"Fuck it why not?"
Jo tosses Sarah the bottle of water to drink.
Jo grabs the tap and sprays some beer in her mouth.
"That's actually pretty good." Jo laughs as she hands it back to Sarah.
Sarah takes it and drinks from it again.
"Sarah? Joanna?"
Both girls turn to see Topper staring at them looking confused.
"What are you guys doing?" he questions.
"Hey, Top." Sarah greets.
"Do you girls wanna go for a ride?" he asks them.
"You know I never pass a chance up on the Malibu since it's in my name too." Jo retorts.
Topper holds the keys out in her direction.
"Then you can drive." She grabs them and smiles.
"Don't mind if I do."
They all head to the boat.
Jo starts up the Malibu and drives off.
"You look to be thirsty Sarah. If you want there is beer in there. You can grab one."
Topper points to the cooler beside them.
"Grab me one please." Jo speaks from the wheel.
"I never thought I would be a beer cooler vagrant." Sarah jokes.
She hands Jo a can of beer.
"Yea I thought you were more into like, high-end heists now." Topper tries to joke.
Sarah giggles softly.
"I'm surprised you're not back at the house by now Jo." Topper turns to her.
"Why would I be?" Jo asks.
"Well, because your aunt and uncle are in town." Topper tells her.
Jo's eyes widen.
"Wait, they're here now? In Outer Banks?" Jo rapidly questions.
"Uh, yea, they arrived late last night. Why are you acting like that?" Topper questions her off behavior.
"Because they're here to take me back to the mainland." she informs them.
"What?"
"Are you serious?"
Both Topper and Sarah exclaim.
"Let's face it, I've had it coming for a while now. There is only so much that my dad will take before he snaps. I brought this on myself." Jo mumbles wallowing in her self-pity.
"Do you need me to drop you off anywhere? Are you crashing at John B's?" Topper asks.
Jo and Sarah share an awkward look.
"I am not staying there. I can't go back to my dad's either." Jo says.
"Yea, I don't blame you, I wouldn't wanna be there either." Sarah tells her.
"I can drop you guys off at Tannyhill and possibly talk to Rafe on your behalf." Topper suggests.
Jo snorts causing beer to spill out of her nose.
Sarah scrunches up her nose trying to hide her laugh.
"What? Was it something I said?" Topper asks.
"Top, no offense, but I don't need you to talk to Rafe on my behalf for me. If anything it's the other way around." Jo tells him.
"Why? I'm not following." he says confused.
Jo grabs a hold of her necklace and shows him the ring on the chain.
Topper's eyes widen in shock.
"Are you fucking serious? You and Rafe? No wonder your dad is pissed bro!" Topper exclaims.
"Yea, it's a shitshow." Jo mumbles.
"I did not see that one coming that's for sure." Sarah starts laughing.
"How did things get like this?" Sarah continues to laugh.
"What do you mean?" Topper asks.
"This! Like things almost feel normal again, but they're far from normal. And were just sitting here having a normal conversation just catching up. That's just funny to me." Sarah takes a drink of her beer.
"Not everything is the same. You have a boyfriend and I have a girlfriend."
Jo quickly turns her head as Sarah's eyes widen in shock.
"You have a girlfriend?" Sarah questions awkwardly.
"Why do you seem surprised?" Topper asks.
"I'm not surprised. Of course, you do." Sarah takes another drink.
"Who?" Jo asks him.
"Uh, you guys know Elena." he tells them.
"Reedy!?"
Both girls exclaim at the same time.
Topper looks between the two girls.
"You guys dont like her?" he questions with amusement.
"Yes, I do. You can do so much better than that hairbow-wearing preppy little-"
Jo stops when she catches both Sarah and Topper just staring at her.
"Never mind." she mumbles quickly.
"It's just that when we were together, she was always like up your ass. So that's just kinda strange to me that's all." Sarah states.
"Oh ok, so you're jealous." Topper teases.
"No! I'm not jealous." Sarah denies.
"You do sound a little jealous."
Sarah sticks her tongue out at Jo.
"It's not even that. She would just linger and always ready to pounce." Sarah tells Topper.
"Now that you mention something, she was always around in the background always watching you." Jo laughs.
"Is this gang up on Topper day? Come on girls."
Topper throws his hands up in defeat.
"Yo, Top!"
They turn to see Kelce on a boat with a few other people.
"Holy shit! Is that Sarah Cameron and Joanna Mills?" Kelce asks.
"Hey, Kelce."
"Hi."
The girls greet.
"I heard you were back on figure eight for good. Please tell me you guys are coming!" Kelce shouts to them.
"Where?" Sarah asks Topper.
"A bunch of us are gonna head out to Mase and just do a little surf and sun action. A little fellowship by the break. You guys should come. It'll be fun." Topper speaks keeping his eyes on Sarah.
"You should come, Jo! I ran into Rafe earlier and said he might come out too." Kelce shouts from the boat he's on.
"Don't worry if Rafe shows up I'll keep him away from you." Jo whispers to Sarah.
"Come on guys!"
The group shouts to the girls.
"Alright, we're coming!" Sarah shouts.
Jo shakes her head with a laugh.
Topper hands her another beer.
She shakes her head.
"I'm good." she tells him.
He gives her a look.
"Are you sure?" he asks.
"Yeah, man I'm fine." she tells him.
