I woke to the sound of John B talking with what sounded like an older woman. I slowly sat up trying to make out the words.

"All I'm worried about right now is making sure you're in a safe home." The older woman said.

"Yeah. Super safe. Super sound. Sturdy, you know what I mean. And, Uncle T is coming back." John B replied.

I finally got up and made my way to the door opening. "Sorry to interrupt," I spoke up. I quickly examined the lady and she had a officer uniform on. What the hell? "I'm gonna head home, thank you for letting me stay John B." I weakly smiled.

"Yeah no problem." He smiled.

I began to walk towards the front when the officer called to me. "The cut on your head looks a bit gnarly, are you okay?"

I turned to her placing my fingers on my head. "Oh yeah, I'm okay. I'm just clumsy is all."

"I'd be happy to lend you a ride home." The officer smiled.

I looked to John B who had a desperate look on his face. "That'd actually be very nice. Thank you." I smiled.

"No problem. We'll continue this conversation another time John B." The officer added.

As we left the front door, John B mouthed his appreciation to me. I waved goodbye and got in the police car.

"So where do you live?" She asked. I gave her the information and we drove away. The ride was pretty quiet besides her questions every now and then. Some about my head, others about my family.  I can tell she really cared about people, and that she was probably one of the best cops in town. We arrived at my house and I got out.

"Thank you Sherriff Peterkin." I smiled. She also told me about herself during the ride.

"Anytime y/n. Come see me at the station if you ever need anything." She replied driving away.

My dad was already rushing out of the house, and I don't doubt he was even more furious when he saw the cop car.

"Y/n what the hell? I've been calling you all night!" He shouted.

"Sorry, I was with friends and my phone died."

"And you didn't think to just come home?"

"I was tired and a friend offered for me to stay, I'm sorry." 

"What the hell happened to your head!" My dad moved in and examined my cut.

I moved back and covered it with my hand. "It's nothing, I just slipped and fell."

"Y/n, what happened?" 

"Nothing, I promise." I tried reassuring him.

He sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Look y/n. All I ask is that your being safe. I know I don't have much authority of you right now, but as your father, I can't help but be worried."

"I know. I'm sorry, but don't worry, I'm always safe." I weakly smiled.

"That Rafe boy came over, he said he needed to talk to you. I told him he can wait in your room."

"What?" I quickly made my way inside and up the stairs. I went in my room and was met with Rafe pacing in a small line. He looked up to me with sorrowful eyes.

"Y/n. I'm sorry I just needed to see if you were okay." He stepped to me as I stepped back. "Please you know I would never do that on purpose. " He then looked to my cut and took a few steps back. "I- I uh- I'm so sorry." He then hurried out of my room and out of the house.

"Rafe wait!" I tried to go after him, but he was already out the door.

My dad came from the kitchen to see what was going on. "Y/n is everything okay?"

"Uh- yeah. Everything's fine." I replied. I made my way back to my room. The sincerity in his eyes made me feel guilty. Guilty for not forgiving him. The cut didn't bother me as much as I led on. Yet I don't know why I couldn't just forgive him. I sat on my bed and recollected my thoughts. Then, my phone lit up with a text from JJ.

𝗝𝗝 - Hey y/n! Care to join me surfing? Waves look great today

𝗬/𝗡 - Yeah, that's just what I need! Meet you there?

𝗝𝗝 - Sound's good to me! See you in a bit

𝗬/𝗡 - :)

I put my phone down and got ready. I then made my way to the beach. I was quite surprised when JJ texted, but was glad he did.  When I arrived, JJ was already there waxing his board. I met him on the beach and he stood up to greet me.

"You made it!" He smiled.

"Well I couldn't say no to surfing!" I laughed.

"And that is why I invited you."

"I'm honored. Lets hit the waves?"

"Ladies first." He gestured towards the ocean. We got out to the waves a surfed for hours. I must say JJ has been the best surfer I've seen in a while. He taught me some tricks and I taught him a few as well. We eventually took a break and rested on our boards.

"When did you start surfing?" I asked.

"Ever since I was little. It's an escape for me, a passion. How about you?"

"Me too. Something about being on the ocean calms me."

"Agreed. It's getting late though, should we head back?"

"Yes, I'm exhausted from showing you up all day." I laughed, pushing myself up.

"You wish." He laughed back. We made our way back to the beach and on the sand. "We should do this again sometime."

"Yeah this was fun!" I agreed.

"Great! I'll see you later y/n. Drive safe." JJ smiled as he walked to his bike.

"See you! Ride safe." I smiled back making my way to my car. I strapped my board up and made my way home. When I got there, I went to my room, showered, and went to sleep. 

𝐀/𝐍 - Hey ya'll sorry for this messy chapter I didn't know what to write about. Let me know what you thought though :)
