Jo woke up in a room, it was weird, it was moving. she turned around and saw rafe sitting at her feet so she immediately closed herself in a ball.
"where am i?" jo asked scared
"on a boat" rafe answered, cold as the ice
"where are we going? what's happening? why am i here?" jo asked again
"because you're a little bitch who tried to steal my cross" he answered
"it's not your cross. it's pope's family cross" jo stated but rafe didn't say anything so jo stood up and tried to ran to the door but rafe stopped her. he pushed her against the door and placed a hand around her throat
"i wanna go home" jo said as she started softly crying
"you can't" rafe stated as he tightened the grip on her throat
"this is kidnapping!" jo tried to scream but she couldn't because rafe tightened again his grip, making her almost lose all of the air
"your family doesn't give a shit. your mother wasn't even a bit concerned when rose told her that you are coming with us on a trip. she didn't even ask where" rafe said as jo tried to catch her breath
"let...me...go" she tied to say, her voice a whisper as tears fell down her cheeks. he stood there a couple of seconds more then let her go and walked away from her
"i wanna see sarah" she said between coughs
rafe grabbed her upper arm and threw her out of the room, then pushed her into another room
"rafe you're hurting-" she yelled then stopped in shock "what the hell?" she whispered as ward cameron turned his face to look at her
"hi josephine"
"you are a bunch of psychopaths. are you okay, sunflower?" jo said
"yeah. come here" she whispered motioning her to sit beside herself, jo tried to move but rafe didn't let her go "let go of me!"
"rafe, you can let her go" ward whispered and rafe did what he said, so jo could sit beside sarah and hug her
"sweetie, what i need you to understand more than anything is that i never imagined that you would be there" ward said referring to the day the died but didn't die and sarah shook her head "i wanted to call you immediately to tell you i was okay, to explain it all. it broke my heart that i couldn't. but i had to make sure rafe got away"
"thank you, dad. at least one of us is greatful" rafe said
"that's psychopathic, both of you" sarah stated
"i promised rafe that he wouldn't go to prison for helping me. i had to make good on that promise" ward said
"not that you care" rafe said
"you would be a lot better in prison" jo yelled making rafe take a step towards her then stop before he could do anything
"did it look like i didn't care when i thought dad was dead?" sarah yelled
"it actually looked like you cared about running of with some asshole" rafe almost yelled
"you're an asshole" jo yelled, protecting john b
"it looked like all you cared about was the inheritance" sarah yelled
"yes, you cared! you cared! that's the point!" ward yelled making the other three shut up "anybody on that dock could see how much you cared, sweetheart. and i know you're angry right now and rightfully so. the important thing is that it's all behind us now. it is. we're gonna live a new life, all of us together. and jo will be back in outer banks when her mother asks so. where i'm taking you, it's paradise. it's off this place called guadeloupe. and oh, by the way, all those a's you got in french are about to pay off, 'cause they speak french there" ward said placing a map in front of sarah who immediately pushed it away
"we want to call our friends, we want to call our boyfriends" sarah stated
"can we at least just tell them that we're okay?" jo said
"yes, of course you can. as soon as we get there, you can call john b. he knows you're here, right? so does you boyfriend. jj, right?" ward said making jo look at him with a disgusted face
"no, they don't" sarah stated
"yeah, they do" ward said standing up
"what are you talking about?" jo asked, anger in her voice
"when you were getting ready, john b came by the house, and rose talked to him. you know the cross you've all been looking for? rafe was able to get it. turns out that, i guess, historically, it belongs to the heywards" ward said
"we know that" jo stated
"it also turns out that the most important thing to me is you, sarah, and i knew you would pissed off if jo wasn't here, at least for a while. so i gave john b the cross for both of you" ward said
"and john b was okay with that?" sarah asked, pissed off
"he would never be okay with that" jo stated
"well, uh, i have just given him a half-billion-dollar artifact, so, yeah, he seemed pretty okay" ward said sitting back in front of the two girls
"yeah, hell no. look, i've known him for a long time, he would never give away two people he loves for money" jo said sitting staring with her elbows on the table
"i don't know how to tell you. he's a pogue" ward said
"i'm a pogue!" jo yelled
"no. you have been one because you have a shitty father. you pretend to be a pogue but kook's blood runs in your veins" ward stated
"fuck you!" jo yelled
"josephine, shut the fuck up!" rafe yelled
"dude, can you bite me?"
"okay, stop. rose, wheezie, come on in" ward said so the two came in to the room
"hey, we're are going to our very private island" wheezie said sitting next to sarah as jo stood up, rafe made a step towards her, afraid she could ran away "i need water"
