PART FOUR ~ BOX JELLYFISH

~•< time skip to 2 months later •>~

You love JJ. You had been questioning it for a while, but you were sure now. You knew it wasn't going to happen, though. You knew you wouldn't be able to tell him and he probably didn't feel the same way. You were friends. That was it.

But you wanted more.

But you couldn't have it.

You were having mental arguments. And what if you were wrong about how you felt? No. You were sure. But you didn't wanna mess up what you had. JJ was your best friend. Meeting him changed your life. If you told him it would just be awkward. You decided against telling him.

You and the Pogues were on the boat. You were basically a Pogue now. You were sipping a beer. Kie and JJ decided they wanted to swim, so the jumped in. You just sat, sipping your beer, listening to Pope, John B, and other sounds around.

A few minutes later, you heard some rustling in the water and then JJ yelled. You jumped up from your seat and looked over the side of the boat to see JJ bleeding and Kie screaming a little. What the hell was happening?

You quickly jumped in and swam over to JJ. 

"What happened?! Are you okay?!" You asked, panicking a little. 

"I-I think it's a jellyfish..." He replied. Shit. This could be really bad. You managed to help him back into the boat and examined the sting.

This was definitely done by a box jellyfish. They were rare in the Outer Banks, but they were still there sometimes. (some info about the box jellyfish: it is probably the most harmful jellyfish. it is deadly, in fact a lot of ppl with stings from them die. i suggest looking them up and seeing pictures to help you understand better, however they will be quite graphic. they're usually found in Southern Australia, however they can be other places.)

"Shit!" You said loudly. 

Pope and John B ran over, Kie getting back on the boat. 

"Oh my god," Kie said in horror. 

"Shit," Pope muttered. 

"This is a box jellyfish sting. It's highly deadly. We need to get him to a hospital immediately," you said, trying to stay calm.

John B drove the boat and Pope called an ambulance. It all went by pretty quickly. You didn't catch much of what was happening, you were just worried about JJ. You got inside the ambulance with JJ. You just held his hand, saying the pain would go away soon. He eventually passed out.

When you arrived at the hospital, they informed you that you couldn't go in. You tried to push past, but they stopped you. Eventually, you decided to sit down in the waiting room with the others.

You couldn't just sit there. You walked to the door of the room JJ was in. You heard the doctors yelling various things. But one thing caught your attention. One thing that you heard made your stomach sink.

The heart monitor beeped in a flat line. JJ was dead.
