Police on my back... or are they? ( John B. Routledge x Reader )

(Side note: This is basically a rewrite of a different scenario of JB being 'wanted' by the police.)
(Side side note: yes this was titled after the clash's song 'police on my back' what can I say it's a great song!)

I sat on the beach with the pogues minus JB he said he had to work today, I leaned my head back and exhaled enjoying the warmth of the sun on my face, listening to the music and letting my bathing suit and hair dry, I had just come in from surfing with JJ, Kie, Sarah, Cleo, and Pope. We had decided we were done surfing but not quite done with the beach yet. I glanced at our boards all lined up stuck into the sand, it made me a smidge sad to not see my boyfriend Jb's board among them but I also know you've gotta work to survive. "The waves were awesome today!" JJ exclamed keeping his eyes shut laying out on his towel. "I concur, supurb waves today indeed." I nodded while jokingly being snooty. "Quite exceptional quite." Pope added joking along with me. "Unequivocally enthralling." Kie added all of us now laughing. "Positively smashing." Sarah added the group laughter doubling. "Indubitably." Cleo piped in ceaseless laughter ensuing. But the laughter was cut short as the song on the radio was cut off, "This is an emergency broadcast from the Kildare County PD: We are on the look out for John Booker Routledge, wanted in connection with the Murder of Officer Peterkin. He is..."I tuned out not believing what I was hearing. My heart lept into my throat, going in to absolute overdrive, manically thumping, blood rushing in my ears overshadowed any of the words coming from my friends, my breathing drastically quickened of it's own volition, my face, arms, legs, hands, feet, going numb from lack of oxygen, my stomach churning on the cusp of emptying it's contents. I know what happened I was there John B didn't do it. He's a kind and gentle soul he didn't do it, this can't be. I thrust myself up onto my feet, before clumsily running off leaving behind my board, towel, car and keys, ignoring the shouts and protests of my friends, wriggling out from under Kiara's arms as she had placed them on my shoulders to try to get my attention, dodging Pope, and wrenching out of JJ's embrace, sprinting past Sarah, escaping Cleo, as they tried to stop me, not caring about anything but getting home and talking to my father who was a deputy on the police force to explain everything, hoping, wishing, praying he could do something. Due to the fact my feet and legs were numb, I tripped about halfway home, scraping up both of my knees, I didn't care though, I forced myself back up and kept going, my chest on fire, heaving with effort, my head spining and numbness spreading. I clumsily clamored up the porch and threw open the door. " D-D-D- AD H-HE D-D-D-Di-DN'T D-DO I-I-I-I-" I was cut off by a wave of vomit rushing up my throat, I scrambled down the hall and barely made it into the guest bathroom flinging open the toilet and collapsing to the floor. My body violently heaved and shivered as I emptied my stomach contents. My Dad coming in behind me pulling my hair back and tying it up. "Easy- Easy, I know he didn't." Dad soothed. All I could do was furrow my brow in confusion, from my position slumped against the toilet, having no ablity to speak due to the continued hyperventilation. "I- you know what... JB GET IN HERE! Sweetie, you're bleeding, I'll let him calm you down and explain it while I go get the first aid kit and get you a gatorade and a cool cloth, He and your mom are better calming than I am, sorry kiddo." Dad explained. I simply wished I could nod to let him know I understood, that he at least tried, but I was also too overwhelmed by the fact that apparently Jb, my JB was here? I managed to angle my face so I could see the door, just as JB came skidding in, sliding on the hardwood floor, and tile in his socks. "Y/n?! Baby?!" He exclaimed concern etched into his features. "JB could you uh- calm her, her mom's always been better at it, I'm a little useless at that, but it seems you are good at it too.. I'm gonna get her a gatorade and a cool cloth, and grab the first aid kit, careful of her knees she's scraped them, be right back." My dad quickly explained as JB dropped down beside me pulling me to his chest and wrapping his arms around me. "Yes sir." JB answered my dad as he walked out of the room. "Hey, hey, hey baby it's okay, I'm okay, you're okay, everything's okay, I need you to breathe pretty girl, can you breathe with me?" He soothed and started to coach. " Breathe with me and let's get you calmed down then I can explain ok? In and out, Innnn, and outttt." He started taking deep breaths pressing my hand against his chest so I could follow his lead. "Those knees look like they hurt baby, did you fall?" Jb asked hissing at the sight of my knees. As I nodded apparently my stomach hadn't caught up to the fact that my boyfriend was okay and sitting right here with me as I was cut off mid breath and wrenched myself back over the toilet emptying what little was left in my stomach. "m s-s-so-r-r-ry." I shakily sobbed. "Hey no shh you've done nothing wrong sweet girl." He comforted pulling me back against his chest rubbing up and down my back. I finally managed to focus on the rise and fall of his chest, matching my breathing to his. My tears died down, the numbness, slowly began to recede, my stomach settled and I began to feel the exhaustion as the adrenaline wore off. I wrapped him in my embrace, clinging to him as tightly as I could manage. He responded with an adoring chuckle and tightened his embrace around me. We sat there for a moment wrapped in each other's embrace, just taking in the fact that we were both okay. After a few moments more Jb leaned slighlty out of my embrace so he could look at me and softly brushed a few loose strands of hair behind my ear "want to go to the couch or your bed baby?" John B asked gently pressing a kiss to the top of my head as I cuddled back up to him as close as I could get. "B-Bed please." My voice still slighly shakey and slighly hoarse. "Okay, let's getcha up here, ready?" He asked as he stood then gently and carefully helped me up after I nodded. John B. kept an arm around my waist as we attemped to start walking, but my legs were still more numb than I thought and my knees buckled. "Whoa, okay, okay, I'll just carry you, that okay baby?" JB asked searching my face for confirmation. I nodded and he swooped me into his arms holding me bridal style, carrying me up to my room with ease. My dad followed up behind us carrying the first aid, a cool cloth and a small bottle of gatorade. John B set me softly onto my bed, looking at me with such gentle love and sweet admiration, then climbing in beside me, welcoming me with open arms as I curled into him. "Here's the cloth and I'll just set the gatorade here and patch you up then, leave you two be, I know she's in good hands, love you sport." My dad sofly chuckled and gently ruffled my hair with one hand, handing Jb the cloth with the other. He then opened the first aid kit and got out the disinfectant, antibiotic cream and bandaids. "I'm sorry sweetheart but this is gonna sting." My Dad warned then wiped the disinfectant over both scraped knees. I yelped, hissed and buried my face into Jb's neck. "You're doing great baby, he's almost done." Jb praised. My dad finished applying the antibiotic cream and covered the scrapes with band aids then kissing them both over the bandages, cleaning up the garbage and grabbing the first aid kit. "There all finished kiddo, you'll be good as new in no time, well done sport. Love ya." My dad proclaimed. As my dad left softly cracking the door behind him, John B situated the cloth across my forehead, then gently stroked my cheek before pressing a soft but loving kiss to it, continuing to hold me close and rub my back. "My sweet girl, my sweet sweet y/n, I love you pretty girl, I love you so much." He breathed kissing the top of my head. "I love you too Jb so so much." I croaked out, nuzzling into the crook of his neck. He let out another chuckle of adoration followed by another kiss. "So what's happening?" I whispered against his neck. "So it was actually your dad's idea... we didn't realize this but the police were actually onto Ward, but they needed to make it seem like they weren't. The front security cameras at the air strip showed us running past them so the police knew we were there, but luckily your dad vouched for me and so they believed me when I told them what happened. Ward didn't see me when he came in to report it, so they went along with his story, that I did it, right before they made the announcement, your dad asked if he could drive me here, I uh thought you'd be here so I could explain everything before you heard it on the radio-but uh apparently not, anyways your dad explained that they'd announce they were looking for me, to keep Ward and the rest of the Cameron's from realising the police were actually onto them, because your dad and the rest of the police department need a bit more time, to gather a bit more evidence to make sure their case is nothing short of concrete against the Cameron's. And obviously because the police are 'looking' for me I couldn't just go home cause that'll be the first place they look, and even though you're my girl and all, if I was really on the run I wouldn't be hiding out here, at the home of a deputy, so it made sense for me to lay low here for a bit. Plus I get some one on one time with you baby." John B explained. "Okay, so you're not actually going to be arrested though right?" I asked just to make sure. "Right I'm completely safe, and just have to chill here with you, till your dad and the rest of the police say it's clear. The reason I didn't tell any of the pouges either was it would be more realistic to have them actually clueless and panicking which trust me I don't feel good about but it's for the greater good they'll understand. But you, you're an amazing actor and your dad trusts you not to tell anybody." Jb elaborated. "Makes sense, plus JJ can't keep anything to himself anyway." I let out a light chuckle. Jb laughed and his body relaxed once he realized I was feeling up to cracking jokes. "True that." He snickered. "So wanna watch a movie?" JB asked. I nodded as Jb stood up grabbing my laptop and handing it to me settling back down beside me, grabbing the gatorade off my bedside table, opening it and handing it to me. "Here please drink, you need to rehydrate." He pleaded giving me his best puppy dog eyes. I grabbed the bottle and drank some settling against him, happy he was okay and next to me. We began to watch the movie when part way through there was a knock on the front door. I could hear my Dad answer it and I peaked out of my blinds to see who it was. "It's the pogues.. be very quiet." I whispered to JB. He nodded as I grabbed the gatorade dipping my fingers in and flicking some on my face to make tears. Jb looked at me confused, "to really sell it." I said as he mouthed oh and I made my way downstairs. I feebly leaned against my dad, sniffling and wiping the 'tears' off my cheeks. "Hey guys ." I sniffled. "Hey y/n we just wanted to return your board and stuff and make sure you're okay." Pope said gesturing to my car with my board strapped on. "Are you okay? Do you need a hug?" JJ asked. I nodded and JJ engulfed me in a hug followed by Kie, Cleo, Sarah and Pope joining in. "Do you want us here or do you want me to make them leave?" Kie asked. "I just-" I started, some real tears coming forth when I thought about JB in jail. "I just ne-need to process. I- I'll be okay guys, I promise. Thanks for checking in on m-me." I sniffled. My dad stepped in perfectly excusing me for a few days "I'm probably gonna keep y/n here and housebound for a few days guys, just to make sure she's okay." He explained to them. "But- dad-I" I let him cut me off but needed to make it seem like I wasn't actually really going along with it. "No buts missy, now say goodnight to your friends." My dad played along. "Ok, goodnight guys, I love you, thanks again for checking on me, I guess I'll see you in a few days." I pouted and gave them another group hug. "We love you too y/n and it's going to be okay you'll see." Kie comforted rubbing my back. "We know he didn't do it, the police will figure it out too." Pope offered. "JB can handle himself, he's got this." Sarah pep talked giving me one last hug. "Besides just because you can't leave the house doesn't mean we can't be here for you, believe you, me we'll be keeping in touch and keeping you updated via the group chat, Jb would beat my ass if we let something happen to you." JJ said. "And we'll facetime you here and there, you'd better answer girly." Kie added. "He's a clever boy he'll be fine." Cleo smiled. "We're here for you." Pope agreed. "Awe you guys that's so sweet, don't forget I'm here for you too, the groupchat and FaceTime work both ways, if you need to talk I'll be here." I smiled and reassured them. "We will keep that in mind, goodnight y/n." Pope said. "Don't I know it, the amount of 2 am heart to hearts you've had with me, sleep well y/n." Kie said. "Yep just a call or text away, night girly." JJ mock saluted and ruffled my hair. "No pogue left behind." Sarah Reminded. "You've got our backs and we've got yours smart girl." Cleo reassured "Thanks again, Night, Kie, g'night Pope, Night Sarah, Night Cleo, Don't do anything stupid J." I bid them good night. "We'll keep him in line y/n/n don't worry." Pope assured me. "The disrespect." JJ faked gasped pretending to be offended. "He'll regret it if he tries." Cleo winked. "I'll lock him in a room if I have too." Sarah chuckled. "Trust me he's not gonna try anything." Kie smiled waving as she herded the other pogues into her car. I kept waving from the porch as they drove off until I couldn't see Kie's car anymore. I walked in the house and shut and locked the door. I turned to my dad who was standing there waiting for me to come in. "They're good kids, Jb too, you've chosen well kiddo." My dad smiled lovingly shaking his head at me. "Thanks Dad, for everything, it means the world." I hugged him. "You're welcome, I'd do anything for you, in a heartbeat." he returned the hug. "Pizza for dinner okay?" he asked. "Sounds great, Jb and I are just gonna have a movie marathon." I informed him. "I'll bring some up to you guys when it gets here, you just rest up." He gently chided as I made my way back upstairs. I entered my room and as soon as I laid eyes on Jb we burst out laughing. "'the disrespect' ha classic J." Jb playfully mocked JJ. After our fit of giggles died down and we cudded back up to each other, he pressed another kiss to my forehead and whispered "He was right though." I leaned back and just looked at him confused. " I'd kill him if he let something happen to you." Jb semi-joked. "Really?" I raised an eyebrow and playfully rolled my eyes at him. "Well I'd at least be very, very disappointed in him." Jb countered. We both chuckled as I curled up into his chest and wrapped my arms around his waist, and his arms wrapping around mine, settling in for a movie marathon wrapped in each other's warmth and embrace, feeling happy and safe for the time being.
