I woke up wet and cold, my safety vest keeping me above water. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around, just to see the Phantom upside down. How the fuck am I alive?

I swam to the Phantom and held on to it, calling out for Sarah. Is she alive? I heard her coughing and that's when I noticed her. She looked up and looked at me. "AJ?" She was on the other side of the Phantom. I swam over to her and checked in on her. "Sarah, hey. Are you okay?" She held me close. "With you, I'm always okay." We stayed like that for a while, stranded. In the middle of the sea.

I don't know how much time had passed, but Sarah caught my attention when she slowly pointed at something behind me. I turned around and then I saw it. "It's a boat!" Oh my god. It's an actual boat! We started to frantically wave our arms, screaming out for help. It seemed like it didn't see us and Sarah started to hug me but I didn't give up. I climbed on the part of the Phantom that was sticking out and after slipping a couple of times, I was on. I kept waving my arms, jumping carefully, and that's when the boat started to shine a light at us. They saw us.

They helped us get on the boat and wrapped blankets around us, the captain speaking to us. "Oh man, y'all are lucky that we came theough here. Hey, Larry! Get some coffee on!" We were shivering in the blankets and followed the captain. "Boy, if we wouldn't have saw y'all, y'all'd have been gone pecan. Anybody I can call, let 'em know that you're okay?" I looked at him. "We don't really have anybody to call." I was scared to put everyone's safety in danger. I could call JJ, but if the cops found out, he's be in danger and I'd be endagering Sarah and I's safety, never mind the fact that if this captain would find out that there's a big bounty on my head, he wouldn't be as friendly anymore.

"Come on in, get warm, man. Yo, Larry! Put some soup on, too!" He opened a door for us. "Watch your step. Come on. Get in here." We did as told and silently walked in. "Where you at, Larry?" "I'm comin'!" The man walked in. "Have a seat baby." Why is he calling her baby? She quickly shot me a short look to keep my big mouth shut and she sat down on the chair.

"You just made my day a whole lot more interesting." Larry came in amd gave us a warm mug. "Thank you." "Thank you, Larry." We held the hot mugs in our hands, wanting nothing more than to warm up. The captain turned to look at us. "Where in the hell was y'all trying to go?" Sarah looked at him and answered the question. "Could you just drop us off at the next port?" I pulled my blanket off of myself and gave it to her. "It doesn't matter where." He smiled at my gesture. "I was young and in love once. Turned into a goddamn disaster. It was fun while it lasted though." Gee. Thanks, man. He chuckled and I just side hugged Sarah. "Hey, man, where are you going?" He truend again. "Nassau."

Sarah gasped a small chuckle out and lifted her head to look at me. "The Bahamas." Wait. I looked down at her. "The gold." She nodded her head. "Yeah." We hugged each other and I even dared to smile a little bit.

JJ's POV

Nothing could describe my pain. My little brother. My only real family. My ither half. My ride or die. Gone. I'm angry. So fucking angry. I had been staying with JB and all I have dine up until now is be drunk or stoned and fucked a whole lot of ladies. But today we all met up in JB's backyard to honor the memory of AJ Maybank.

Pope cut out a heart and I had a steel poke in my hands, crying as I spelled it out. '2004-2020. AJ Maybanks. P4L.' That's it huh? He's really gone. I clenched my jaw as we all looked at it. JB hugged me and then the others hugged me too. I just lifted my flask. "To AJ." They all let go of me and Kie softly spoke. "And to Sarah." We all took a sip from our drinks of choice. Mine was pure wodka for a change.

We had gotten a small box with memories of AJ inside of it, for me, I had put in a picture of us as kids in there. While the others buried the little box, I couldn't do it. I stirmed off and into the house where I trashed the whole room where I had been staying in.
