Alluring - JJ Maybank Fanfic

The Darkest Hour: Deal

Trigger Warning: Mentions of Rape.

Willow and JJ will bring it up at different times over the course of the rest of the book, so I won't be adding a warning to every single chapter they talk about it. 

"Willow, wake up." JJ kisses my forehead, "Come on."

"What?" I groan and rub my face.

"I'm sorry, Princess, but we're leaving. We can't stay here." He scoops me up out of our bed, being careful not to squish my baby bump, "Pope and Kie are back with the pogue so we can finally get out of here." He wastes no time running us down the dock, jumping down into the boat before sitting down with me in his lap, "Are you okay?" he rests his hand on my belly, "You're really pale."

"Willow," Pope leans closer to us, "when's the last time you ate?" 

"I'm fine." I state in a monotone voice, making everyone stare at me, "Stop looking at me."

"What happened? Why are we leaving?" Kie breaks the silence we fell into while John B drives us somewhere. 

Where? No idea, do I care? Not anymore. 

"Uh," My brother glances at me before looking back out at the marsh, "Rafe and Barry came by a little bit after you and Pope ran off."

I scoff, "Don't leave out the part where y'all sat in a tree and listened to Rafe rape me." 

Pope and Kie's eyes go wide while everyone else wearily watches me in silence. I shake my head and bury my face against JJs neck, already tired of the attention on me.

"I want to kill him." JJ states in a low voice.

Where was this energy when he was sitting in the tree? Whatever. 

John B sighs, "Lets go game plan what we're going to do next to avoid Willow getting arrested, then we can talk about what we're going to do to Rafe."  

It stayed quiet until he parked us at a secluded spot in the marsh, we all made our way up to the tree line. I could feel JJ getting tense as realization settles in; I'm going to go to jail. 

He sat me down on a log and turned to face our friends, "Now what?"

Kie looks around with a stressed expression, "Yeah if Rafe and Barry know she's here, then it's only a matter of time--"

"Before everyone knows." John B cuts her off, his face pained when he looks over at me.

"He saw y'all yesterday, so I'm sure tons of other people did too." My eyes burn into Kie, but she doesn't look my way, "Not that anyone fucking cares." 

"I knew we should have headed south," JJ angrily paces around, "should have gotten the hell out of here, now they know we're back. Why does no one ever listen to me?"

"Listen to you?" I raise my voice while pointing at him, "You went to the goddamn store while being dead, after I told you not to. You knew I have a psycho stalker and the island wants me locked away for life, JJ, yet you still fucking went. All because you needed some quality time with Kiara." 

"I get it. I understand." JJ raises his voice to match mine, everyone looks between us with shocked expressions, "I know it's my fucking fault. That's been established, you've already told me that, Willow. But I already told you that I wasn't trying to be alone with Kie, we just used that time to catch up--"

"I don't care, JJ." 

"Well it seems like you do." He rolls his jaw, "I made a mistake, baby, stop throwing it in my face."
