Young Love ( JJ Maybank x Reader )

Chapter 16

To your surprise, Rafe gave the bed to you and Kie while he grabbed a blanket and pillow and laid down on the ground to sleep.

You and Kie stayed up late trying to figure out a plan while Rafe slept. Except you couldn't think of anything other than admitting to having a copy of the diary.

So, that's what you went with.

You both got changed out the ridiculous fancy dresses and into some spare clothes you found in a cupboard before Kie knocked on the locked door and demanded to speak to Mr. Singh.

The guard unlocked the door and allowed her out. Kie spared a quick glance over her shoulder at you, and you gave her a small encouraging nod before she followed him.

"What the hell is she doing?" Rafe questioned furiously.

"Saving our asses, that's what she's doing."

"Yeah, I'm gonna need a little more detail than that Y/N."

You rolled your eyes, "I can't tell you. So, you're just gonna have to trust me."

Rafe huffed out a small hysterical chuckle before he shook his head and began pacing the room. You watched him walk, his fingers twitching anxiously at his sides which was only making you nervous. An agitated Rafe Cameron was something you did not want to deal with.

"I don't trust Pogues. And I sure as hell don't trust you!" He eventually snapped, glaring in your direction while he continued to pace.

"And you think I trust you? A Kook? Dude, you held a gun to my head back in OBX. If anyone should have trust issues, right now, it should be me."

That seemed to shut him up real quick and for the briefest moment, you could've sworn you saw a hint of regret flash over his eyes, but it was gone before you could think much of it. Neither of you said anything after that, and you sat back down on the edge of the bed, waiting for Kie.

You weren't waiting for long before the door opened again and a very angry and worried looking Kiara stormed in. The plan hadn't worked. But, something else must have happened.

"Kie-"

"Mr. Singh got a text from Portis that contained a photo of John B and Sarah with the message 'I got two of them' attached." She quickly said, cutting you off as she sat down on the bed beside you.

Wait, what? Portis was dead though. He couldn't have messaged... oh. Realisation hit you like a truck.

"Shit." You sighed, rubbing your face with your hands.

"Shit? Shit, what? What does 'shit' mean? What's going on?" Rafe frantically questioned, walking over to you.

"He's tracked them with the phone too." Kie added softly.

"Tracked who?" Rafe asked.

"The Pogues." You answered causing his eyes to widen in surprise. "Yeah, the others are on this island too."

Before Rafe could ask any more questions, vehicles began revving loudly from outside and you rushed over to the window just as a group of soldiers and Mr. Singh drove off. They were going to find the others.

"Well, that sucks for them. But that's good for us though." Rafe said, staring out the window before looking over at the two of you. "This may be our only shot at getting out of here."

"What's the plan?" You asked.

The last thing you wanted to do was work with Rafe Cameron. But, he was right. This might be your only shot at getting out of here and you needed to work together.
