OBX Imagines (Outer Banks)

Stay With Me Pt.3 - JJ Maybank

"Atempted murder bro?" John B repeated in a slightly higher pitched voice. "He didn't try to kill anyone." Sarah tried to explain through the chaos. It did no good they still put cuffs on JJ. "Seriously?" John B exclaimed. JJ stayed silent. He felt like he was just going through the motions. Everything felt like it was moving slower. Like time wasn't even real. "I cant disclose information on his case at this time mam." The officer alerted Sarah. "Hes a kid man." John B argued as he followed them out of the hospital. JJ was pushed down into a cruiser. John B tapped the side of the car to get JJs attention. "Hey." He called through the window to a spaced out JJ. JJ slowly turned his head towards John B giving him his attention. "Well figure it out." John B promised. JJ swallowed as he nodded along with John Bs proclamation. The car ride felt like it was only seconds. Like he barely had time to think. JJ had always known he'd end up in jail. But he never though it'd be for murder. They helped him out of the cruiser and in to the county jail.

He sat in a holding cell for hours before Shoupe came to talk to him. By the time shoupe got to him he had gotten out of his shocked state. Shoupe knocked on one of the bars. "Hey kid." He started. JJ jumped to his feet. "Cmon Shoupe. You gotta get out of here okay. I didn't try to kill anyone. My girl is in the hosp-" JJ started rambling on the the sherif. "Look I know you didn't try to kill anyone. But we got an anonymous tip that someone saw you shoot Y/n, Y/l/n." Shoupe explained. JJ had no idea that the cops were talking about her. JJ paused as he took the information. "What?!? No. That was Rafe. Rafe Cameron shot Y/n." JJ argued. Shoupe nodded along with JJs accusation. "And well prove that but untill then I need you to sit tight and keep your mouth shut." Shoupe whispered through thr bars.

At the hospital

Sarah and John B sat around Yn's bed. Sarah reached out holding her hand witha single tear streaning down her face. "Hey." John B called her attention. Sarah's head shot in John B's direction. "She's strong, not to mention stubborn," he started making Sarah let out a short laugh. "She'll be okay." John B assured her.

"I just cant believe my brother did this." She said breathlessly trying not to cry. "I know I didn't do it but I just wish that there was something I could've do-" she went on ranting. Her head whipped back to Yn. "did you see that?" She asked frantically. "See what?" John B asked confused. He sat forward getting closer to Sarah. "She moved. I swear to god she moved." Sarah almost sang. Yn's eye fluttered open. "Oh my God! Yn!" Sarah cried. Tears streaming down her face as she lunged towards a delicate yn. "Careful." John B reminded her as her arms flew around you pulling you into a hug. "I like this treatment. I should get shot more often." You joked. She nudged you gently. You looked around the room. "Hey, uh." you turned back to be met with Sarah's curiosity. "Where- Where's JJ?" You mumbled. Her smile faded. "Hes um. He's gone." She said. Your eyebrows pushed together in confusion. You knew he wouldn't willingly leave. "What do you mean 'gone'?" you looked back and forth between her eyes trying to understand what she was telling you. She cleared her throat as she started tearing up. You assumed the worst. You shook your head refusing to beieleve what you thought she was saying. "No he's not." You argued. Her hand came down over yours. "No hes fine, its just he got arrested a few hours ago." She explained. You took a deep breath of semi-relief. "Why was he arrested." You finally got around to asking. John B corrected his posture. "Attempted murder" John B told you. Your eyes widened at the words. "What attempted murder on who?" You demanded to know. John B looked at eachother then back at you. "You." They said at the same time.

You were taken aback. "What the actual fuck?" You exclaimed. Sarah sighed. "Were gonna figure it out Yn. I promise." She comforted you.

You had no memory of Rafe showing up in your room. You didn't even remember waking up.

"Rafes ass should be in jail." You crossed your arms. You looked around for your phone when you saw scisscors sitting on your side table. You were compelled to reach for them, out of sheer curiosity. You pulled them into a closer veiw. "Does that look like blood to you?" You asked Sarah. She held her hands out to take them from you. As she took them her hand grazed you wrist. You winced at the memory you didnt recognize. "I'm sorry are you okay?" She profused. You nodded. "it didn't even hurt I dont know where that came from." "It'll be fast." You heard ring in your head. You immeadiately recognized it to be Rafes voice.

Sarah's wiped the sisscors with her fingers. Her fingers were colored red as she pulled them away from the sisscors. "Yeah that's blood." She confirmed. "I dont want to do this." He said. Though this time it wasnt just a voice. Rafe was sitting where John B had been moments earlier. You remembered everything. Yet the worst part for you was when he asked you to close your eyes. The fear you felt in that moment, you had nothing to compare it to. You couldnt have been sure that youd wake up again. You swallowed as Sarah reached for your arm pulling you out of your deja vu. "Are you okay? Should I call the nurse?" She asked with urgency. You shook your head. You looked down picking at your nails. "No." You confirmed. She scanned you over as she waited for you to tell her what was wrong. "I think rafe..." you began. You were choking up through tears. Your hands started shaking. "I think Rafe did something." You whimpered.

Sarah scooched closer to you, holding your hand. "What do you mean 'did something'?" Sarah chimed trying to sound like she wasn't worried. "He came in here before talking abo-" you started to explain. John B sat forward in his seat. "Rafe was here?" He growled. You nodded. "He said no one could know it was him. And that he was going to pin it on JJ. Then he cut my stitches." You stuttered out through your terrified tears. Sarah's eyes widened. She got closer gently hugging you, being careful not to hurt you.

Lol this is turning into a mini series... I hope you like it.
