A while later everyone else came back- Pope and Kiara were still out.
Ruby sat on the edge of the hot tub, sipping on a beer- she saw JJ go over to John B and put herself out of his eyesight, those two deserved to have a moment together.
She glanced down at the bandage covering her shoulder, the throbbing of her shoulder matched her heartbeat, but she didn't mind, it reminded her that she was actually alive.
Ruby leaned against one of the other trees, smiling as Sage stood next to her, holding up a joint.
" So, how'd you end up in Italy?" Ruby asked, "it was just all too much y'know? Especially when you two 'died'.." Sage said and blew out smoke from the joint.
" he tried getting ahold of you.. but it said the number was deactivated.." Ruby said and took the joint as Sage passed it to her.
" he did..?" Sage asked and Ruby nodded, " he talked about you every night in his sleep.. he really missed you.." Ruby said and blew out smoke.
She watched as Sage's eyes landed on John B, a slight smile forming on her lips, "I missed him too.." She said quietly.
The girls shared a quick hug before going back to the boys, JJ immediately putting his arm around Ruby while John B placed a gentle kiss on Sage's lips.
John B paused as he heard a noise, " did you guys hear that?" He asked, " that would be your chicken" JJ said and started making noises, making Ruby laugh as John B slapped his hand over JJ's mouth.
She allowed JJ to finish her beer, both of them watching as John B scanned the area, all four of them hearing a car pull up.
John B helped Sage up into the tree, JJ carefully helping Ruby and being careful of her shoulder, watching as she grit her teeth from the movement.
They all watched as Barry and Rafe came into view, all color drained from Ruby's face as she struggled to breathe, her heart pounding in her chest.
JJ held her close, turning her away and allowing her to hide her face in chest, feeling how she slightly relaxed.
He covered her ears, blocking her from hearing the conversation in hopes it would calm her down, the grip she had on his shirt only tightening.
All four of them flinched as Rafe fired the gun, JJ ducking out of the way and watching as the bullet hit the tree.
They all watched as Rafe and Barry took off, all having the same thought in mind.
They needed to get the hell out of here.
