One with the Pogues [jj x reader]

22. Gator

We get to everyone else. They're on the van.
"Where the hell were you guys?" Pope yells.
"Paternal complications." Kie sums up.
"Luke was at the Chateau." JJ says.

I get in the water.

"Great, while you were having some family time, John B got bit by a gator." Pope says.
"What?" I ask freezing.

"Y/n, get out of the water." JJ says instantly.
"Is it around us?" I ask.
"I don't know." Pope says

"What the hell happened?" Kie asks.
"I got bit!" John B yells.

I'm too scared to move. I'm looking around for any sign of movement.

"Y/n, hurry up." JJ says. I nod.

I start moving.
"Y/n, stop!" Sarah yells. I freeze. "It's right behind you."
"Shit." I mutter.

"Don't fucking move." JJ says.
"No shit." I say.

"No JJ, don't!" Kie yells.
"I have to do something." He says.
"Maybe it'll leave." I say.
"Throw something at it." Sarah says.
"That'll piss it off." I say.

"I'm gonna run for it." I say.
"No!"
"Its probably sleeping or something." I say not believing it but just wanting to get farther from it.

I take a step. Nothing. I sigh and start moving faster.

I feel something sharp bite my side. I scream as I fall.

It hurts so bad. It won't let go. I start kicking and fighting. It lets go and Sarah and JJ pull me up.

"Fuck." I mutter.
"You good?" JJ asks looking at me.
"It hurts like shit." I mutter.

"JJ, get us out of here now." Pope says.
"I'll be fine." I say. He looks hesitant but goes to the truck anyways.

Sarah helps me up next to John B.

I look down at my waist and see it's covered in blood.
"Holy shit." I mutter.

"JB, you holding up?" I ask.
"Just as well as you." He says.
"It's dads fault we're both incredibly stupid." I say. He chuckles making me chuckle but that hurts more.

"Holy shit." I mutter.

"Shut up!" JJ yells as Pope and Kie were yelling at eachother. Sarah helps me sit up.

"You're all I have guys. I've come too close to losing all of you. I mean shit, you almost drowned. Pope, you were kidnapped. Sarah, you've been shot. John B you were almost dinner to a gator, bro. Y/n you almost joined him and almost drowned." JJ yells. "So blaming eachother is some Kook ass bullshit. We're Pogues."

They clap but I just smile at him since I can't sit up without my hands.

"JJ, we love you but please let's go." I say.

Sarah helps me in the van as we pull it out.
"We need to wrap her waist." Sarah says.

"Let me see." JJ says getting in. He looks at my waist. "He got you good."
"It hurts to breathe." I say.
"Shh, it's gonna be okay." He says grabbing my hand.

Sarah wraps my waist with something.
"Just apply pressure." She says. I nod.

I lay my head on JJ's lap as I hold it.

We get to the church. JJ's hesitant to let me out with them but I go anyways.

"Great while you were having some family time, John B got bit by a gator." Pope says to me.
"What?" Y/n asks in the water.

"Y/n get out of the water." I say starting to worry.
"Is it around us?"
"I don't know." Pope says.
