I love you with no fear. Book 2. JJ maybank

Fathers and sons

Our mother left when we were three. For the whole time growing up, it was just me, John B and our pops.

In some ways, he was the best father you could imagine, taught us how to work and what to do after work.

Like any family we had our moments.

It's one thing to lose a father.

But it's another thing to never get to say goodbye.

"So this is what we're doing now huh? We're just sailing out."

Everyone had been arguing about leaving my brother behind. JJ was sure against it and i was with him but everyone thought we'd be caught and i'm stuck in the middle. I know we'd get caught but apart of me would've always gone back for him.

Although Sarah hadn't spoken yet, and i know she didn't want to do it but she had to. And i thank her for that, for saving us. But apart of me wishes, she left me behind too.

"Who's that?" We question Kiara when her phone starts to ring.

"It's Portis?"

"Nah that's definitely John B" JJ states running over to grab the phone.

Thankfully John B is fine but we didn't get much out of the phone call since he kept breaking up.

"You guys think he found his father?" Cleo asks the group, seriously. Making my head shoot up.

"He's been missing for almost a year." Pope states.

"Yeah and if he were there, we would've found him." I point out. There's no way he found our dad. I thought to myself.

"Sarah we need to make a decision. Are we turning back-?"

"He said go. So go!" Sarah answers. Making her way to the front of the boat.

I know the looks on everyone's faces say they want to turn back but we know the outcome of that. I just hope he's safe. I can't risk losing him again.

"Hey, he'll be alright." I reassure Sarah, wrapping my arm around her shoulders as she leans into me trying not to cry. She nods her head, trying to reassure herself that he would be okay, just like i was doing.

The girls had joined down at the front of the boat to hang out while the boys did their own thing. It had been a while since we hung out just together, just doing nothing but talking about girl things.

"Ok, so you've never had a boyfriend?" Sarah shockingly asks Cleo.

"Never."

"That's wild."

"You know, before JJ, I never had one either." I admit to them. It's true. Besides JJ, I never had another boyfriend. I've made out with a few people but it never went any further. Except for that one time a guy tried to shove themselves on me at the bonfire. That's something that's always stuck with me although I wish it really hadn't.

"Yeah well we all know about Topper." Sarah laughed, groaning a little bit at the thought.

"Yeah how on earth did you stay with him for so long?" Kiara asks her.

"I don't know honestly. I think I realised he wasn't my person when we nearly had sex and I thought I was ready but I'm not sure if I was ready or it was just because it was, him. Then he got mad so that was my turning point." She explains to us. I know she felt bad for how things have gone down with him but she loves JB and her heart can't help that.

"He's so weird bro." Kiara points out.

"He came up to me one time after Rafe had beaten the shit out of Pope and I and man tried to buy me a drink in apology." I tell them laughing.
