Out on our own...
Dreaming in a world that we both know...
Is out of our control..
But if shit hits the fan we're not alone.

So this is it, that's how it ends...
I guess there's nothing more romantic than dying with your friends.
And I'm not sorry for myself..

I wouldn't wanna spend a minute loving anybody else..

Third Person Perspective~

THE four pouges had arrived at the dock with the Phantom. They had been all pretty shaken and dusted up after the events that occurred back at the warehouse. No one had expected Rafe and Barry to ambush them. Not now, at least. 

Sitting on the dock or the boat, the four had stayed quite most of the time after getting out of the yard. Having towed the boat and got it into the river, they now sat with millions of thoughts running through each of their heads. 

The moment of saying goodbye to their friend; John B was coming closer. And dread was filling them.

Uneasiness sneaked into Rory as she was sat on the dock, her hands constantly fidgeting. She couldn't get the courage to let the thoughts about everything that has happened this past summer go. 

The hunt, the chase, the gold, the fishing trip. Deals with Rafe. His cruelty and assault. Her blossoming friendship with Sarah. 

This past summer was a paradise, a place that was completely out of her mind. Somewhere along the hunt, she found her own sanity; in the form of JJ. That sweet blond boy would be the only good thing that has happened to Rory this entire summer, seeing as everything else went down the drain after they found the gold.

But still, her heart was rapidly thundering beneath. Her breathing was deep, but the nerves that were clawing at her mind, made her more restless. She doesn't know how she'll manage to live without her twin brother for months on end, until he could come back home.

And even right now, she doesn't know how she'll work up the courage to let go of him. 

The wind was blowing softly, the water glistening under the afternoon sun's glare. The soothing soft waves it made, were what Rory's eyes were trained on. She'd not looked away from the water for even a second.

The red bruises that were imprinted onto the soft skin of her neck were like a constant reminder to JJ, as he glanced at her from time to time, a reminder that he failed in protecting her. JJ was sat nearby, on the edge of the Phantom, his elbow resting on his knees as he sighed.
