Not even a moment after JJ had his beer in the air as it splashed all over his friends, the boat came to a sudden halt. The two blondes on the edge of the boat went straight into the water, making the other teens gasp as they watched the scene unfold. JJ swam up quickly, taking in a deep breath once he reached the surface. He saw his friends on the boat, noticing their terrified glances at something behind him. Once he turned himself in the water, his eyes landed upon Willow. He was quick to swim over to her, not knowing what had happened to her underwater.
He tossed the beer towards his friends, making sure not to litter since Kie would fuss him out for doing so. He pulled her body close to his, gently patting her back to see if she'd gasp for air. When she didn't, he cursed under his breath and whispered, "I swear Bradshaw, do not fucking do this."
Her eyes fluttered open, gasping for air as he patted her back once more. Her arms wrapped around him once he lifted her up and had her body above water as much as possible. He swam towards the boat, allowing his friends to reach down and grab her up. He gripped the side of the boat, pulling himself up as water trickled down his back. Once inside the boat, his breath was heavy as he stared down at her.
"You okay?", Kie asked her, making Willow nod her head in response. She placed her hand over her chest, taking in deep breaths as she collected herself. JJ stared down at her, shaking his head before turning towards the other boys.
"The fuck happened?", He seethed, making the two boys glance at one another. "John B, what the fuck man?"
"We hit something, alright?", John B raised his hands in defense, turning around to look down into the water along with Pope and Kie. JJ shook his head, relaxing a bit at the fact it wasn't done on purpose. His energy faltered, not even caring about looking to see what they hit as his eyes met with Willow's.
"You okay?", He asked tiredly, dropping down to her level on the boat as she was sat down. She let out a sigh, taking her hand away from her chest as she wrapped her arms around her knees.
"Yeah. Peachy.", She retorted, getting back at him from when she had asked if he was fine just moments before they fell in the water. Hearing him scoff, she glanced over at him. He went to get up from his spot but she stopped him by placing a hand on his forearm. "Thank you, JJ. I appreciate it."
Looking at her from over his shoulder, he gave her a slight nod. "Of course. That's what real pogues do."
"I am a real pogue. I grew up the same place you did.", She took her hand away, rolling her eyes as she leaned further back against the boat as their friends all gave one another a look. They hated being in the middle of their bickering because it just made things awkward, especially when they were sitting right there listening to it and there's nothing they could do to stop it. "I'd advise you to stop treating me like I'm some convict, or-"
"Or what? You'll go off and join the kooks again?", He cut her off, making her scoff. He watched as she ran her hands through her hair, gently tugging at the strands.
