He drives me back to John B's, and the second I see the entire crew waiting — John B included — my chest lifts like someone finally let me breathe again, the tightness that's been sitting there for days loosening all at once.
My face lights up before I can control it.
"John B!" I yell, my voice cracking with relief as I lean forward on the boat.
"Oh my God, he's out." I mumble, heart thudding like it's trying to jump out of me.
I hop from Topper's boat into the Pogue so fast I almost slip, and I throw my arms around John B, hugging him tight. For a moment, the world stops spinning.
"Hi." John B looks at me with that soft look that always makes me melt.
"Hi!" I beam at him, still breathless. "Oh my God. I'm so glad you're okay. Hi." I touch his arm before glancing back at JJ, then at John B, something wary flickering under all the relief.
"Please don't tell me JJ's plan worked," I say, already bracing myself.
"Nah. No need to worry. I broke the wrong guy out of jail." JJ says.
I stare at him, wide eyed, trying not to choke on air.
"Uh— they dropped all the charges."
"Wait, really?" Hope surges so fast it nearly knocks the breath out of me all over again.
"Yeah no yeah I'm a free man. Yeah." John B smiles, and something in the smile makes my whole chest ache with the relief of it.
"That's amazing." My smile returns, brighter this time.
"I know. It's great but... but listen Star they're coming after Rafe."
"Good. He's completely unhinged. He jumped me last night." The words scrape out of me; my hands tremble slightly at the memory, the water still somewhere in the back of my throat even now.
"What?" Kie and Sarah say together.
"That's why I didn't come back."
"Yeah man. Rafe has lost his mind. Literally almost drowned his own sister. Thankfully I got there just in time," Topper says.
"Uh, yeah he did," I say, swallowing hard, the memory of the water closing over my head flashing bright and unwelcome.
"Uh well I guess I owe you one Topper don't I?" John B says.
"It's all good. I mean somebody had to rescue your girlfriend right?"
"Uh that's funny because she's not actually my girlfriend right?"
"Uh...Well what is she then?"
"Tell him," John B says, and something in his voice already has an edge to it that makes my stomach knot.
