(ik I already used that gif, I think, but I'm using it again as it matches this chapter)
"Where the hell are we?"I asked as we drove through woods "shit, the tides going up."John B stopped the Twinkie looking ahead "just follow along cupcake."JJ said "you missed a lot, you know the golden cross that was on the royal merchant? Yeah it never went down, like the gold, it belonged to Denmark Tanny, my relative, so we're going to an old church to try and find the cross that belongs to my family."Pope tried to explain "gotcha."I nodded I turned to JJ whispering I don't got it, he chuckled. "Be careful John B, you don't wanna run over a litter of lil gators."JJ spoke up in an accent I giggled at his stupidly looking behind us, seeing a truck from afar, an all to familiar truck. "Fuck."I whispered going over to the back window looking at who was driving it "what?"Sarah laughed it slowly fading as JJ looked out the window next to me, both having serious faces "shit shit shit shit shit."JJ started saying rushing around gathering and hiding shit, "JJ no! You are not going to try and protect from Rafe with a gun, no. He's not a bad guy anyways."I pointed at him "Ruby you don't know the things he did, the things he did to you! The maniac should be rotting in prison for all the god awful things he's done to us. To you."JJ argued I started to think about his words, John B had crossed the tide with success Rafe still afar as we pulled up to an old church we all got out looking up at it searching around it for a golden cross "I don't think a giant golden shiny cross is hard to miss."I said we all turned around hearing a gun cock and a twig snap Rafe came out from some bushes holding his hands up, a gun in one hand. "Rafe, put the gun down."I said holding my hands out "tell JJ to put his down and I'll happily obligee."Rafe said I looked back at JJ "fuck no!"JJ yelled "JJ just do it!"John B yelled "look, I don't want trouble, I just came here for my girlfriend."Rafe walked towards me, I gasped as JJ pointed the gun at Rafe "get the fuck away from her monster!"JJ screamed "JJ!"I yelled my eyes watering Rafe pointed the gun at JJ, something about seeing him holding a gun, just made something click. I closed my eyes as everything came flooding back. The picture of seeing my dad dead on the floor, because of Rafe, Rafe shooting me, Rafe killing our baby, Ward shooting me, twice, Rafe shooting Peterkin than I had to run because of something he did, than my mind went to JJ, I loved JJ, I broke up with Rafe, for JJ, I loved JJ and he loved me. "Babe, come on let's go."Rafe came over to me still holding a gun to JJ "get the fuck away from me you monster."I whispered backing up "babe, come on. Whatever they told you, didn't happen."he held his hand out "you took everything from me you fucking monster!"I pushed him back knocking the gun out of his hands, which I kicked over to John B, unknowingly to the others. Including Rafe. "Babe!"Rafe yelled "don't call me that! We're not dating anymore! You killed my dad, you killed our baby! You killed officer Peterkin! I'm on the run for something you fucking did! The cops probably think I'm dead still! You've been keeping me a secret for the last two weeks, I can't fucking believe you Rafe."I yelled repeatedly pushing him back "she remembered."Sarah whispered smiling weakly "you took everything from me!"I screamed in a raspy voice pushing him one more time harshly, causing him to stumble, he stared at me with a shocked face. I punched him knocking him to the ground I squatted next to him "go to hell, fuck wad. Your lucky I don't call the cops and report your killing ass."I spit in his voice standing back up, I walked over to John B, bending over picking up the gun. I walked back to Rafe pointing it at his stomach "this is for my dad."I whispered pulling the trigger he screamed holding his stomach his hands shaking "this is for my baby."I pointed it at his upper arm shooting it. "And this, this is for me. Everything you've done to me, and everyone. You hurt so many people, this doesn't even cover half of what you deserve."I gritted my teeth, shooting the left side of his chest. Not wanting to kill him, I wanted him to suffer. Not taking the easy way out and die, I could shoot his heart and make him bleed out, or leave him here. With no one, nothing. But as much as I hated him, I still loved him deep down, so I called the cops, telling them someone had been shot three times, giving them the location and leaving it anonymous hanging up before they asked questions. I turned to the group as they all stared, terrified. "Let's go."I whispered turning around walking into the church.
