One with the Pogues [jj x reader]

17. Ferry to Charleston

"This is the north drain. It should've gotten washed into the gully. So if it got flushed out it should've been pushed out to like-." JJ starts saying.
"Somewhere in this trash?" Pope asks looking at all the trash in the water.
"Yup."

"People who use plastic should be shot." Kie says in disgust.
"Personally I love it. Use it every day." JJ says. I shake my head while laughing softly.
"Okay, hopefully you recycle it and don't let it flush into the ocean."
"Thought you'd say that so trash bags."
"Did you just proactively protect the environment?"
"Maybe."

"So you two want us to leave or what's going on?" JJ asks. Pope throws the bag at him.
"Pick up the trash."

We do and it's not there.

"It's in the drain."
"Of course it is." I mutter.
"So are we gonna do like rock, paper, scissors?"
"No."
"Alphabetically?" I ask.
"Nah."
"Oldest goes?"

"In the sewer, there's a worm that you get when you're down there. It gets in your blood and then it has to come out your pecker. So uh.. that would be a hard pass for me." JJ explains.
"That's gonna be a no for me." Pope says.
"No it's okay. I get it." Kie says.
"You guys are scared." I say.

"I'm not scared." JJ says.
"It's kinda cute." I say smirking at him softly.
"You should've just led with that."
"No need to be scared boys. We'll do it." I say.
"Okay, just you know, be careful." Pope says to Kie.
"I'll be so careful."

JJ kisses me.
"Thanks for saving him." He whispers in my ear. I roll my eyes.
"Bye guys." I say following Kie.

"Just holler if you need anything. We'll uh holler back."
"Thanks."

Kie and I are crawling in the sewage water. I'm so glad I'm wearing shorts.

The tunnel starts to get narrow.
"You see anything?" They yell to us.
"Nothing!"
"It's probably at the bottom of the catch basin."
"Shit." I mutter.

We get out of the tunnel into a small thing off water. There's a ladder to a drain.

We start looking.
"People are so shitty." Kie says lifting a can.

"I think I found something!" I yell feeling something, it's the gun. I put it into the side of my shorts.
"The gun?"

Kie yells.
"There's something dead in here!" We both back up.
"Like a person?"
"Don't touch it that's how you get worms!" JJ yells.
"Is it Gavin!"
"Do you see the gun?"
"Holy shit." I mutter realizing how disgusting this actually is.

The water starts moving.
"What the hell?" I say.
"Guys the water!"
"Get out of there now!"
"We don't have time! Help!" I yell as we both grab onto the ladder.

We try pushing the drain but it won't move.
"Help!" We yell. "Please!"

The boys get to the drain.
"Pull!" We yell as the water is now up to our necks.

They pull. It's not working.

"JJ!" I yell.
"It's okay. It's okay." He says pulling out his knife.
"I'm scared." I say barely being able to breath over the water. His knife breaks.
"Hang on!" They yell.

The water completely covers us and Kie grabs my hand. We're going to die in a sewer.

The grate opens and Kie and I get out and lay on the floor. I cough up the water. JJ puts his hand on my back.

"Hey." He says. I hug him.

I pull away.

"This isn't what we were looking for right?" I ask pulling the gun out. They chuckle. JJ grabs it and wraps it.
