P: this shit ain't over.

Jb: no it ain't.

We continue to sail the boat until we reach a small island.

Jb: that's good.

S: good job guys.

Ki: good job

Jj: whoa.

P: Jj you alright?

I grab his shoulder.

Jj: yeah, still a little dizzy.

P: you got your own nurse I'm sure you'll be fine.

Jj: pretty hot one too.

The boys laughed between them.

K: you think this is funny?

The laughter stopped and JJ turned to me.

K: I wasn't joking JJ, you scared the hell out of me.

Jj: I know and I'm sorry-

K: I thought it was too late, this long game we've been playing has ruined everything.

Jj: hey wait what are you talking about?

K: we're fools J. Thinking we should wait until we're happy. Look at us, we don't even know where the fuck we are, being happy isn't on the cards for us.

Jj: so your saying that's is, no more games. Its over. There was just "no point".

K: no. I'm saying I love you. As we were idiots to think we should wait this long to show it. Cause I've loved for a lifetime. And I don't wanna wait another.

Jj: wanna get married?

K: what?

J: I mean you're right. Why wait? I love the shit out of you so let's just get married.

Ki: nice way to put it.

P: your losing her

Jb: you're kinda copying my vibe.

Jj: shut up.

Everyone fell silent again.

Jj: I mean it.

Jj quickly pulled a ring off his pinkie finger.

Jj: till death do us part and shit like that.

K: not death, please no more death.

Jj: as I stand here after a near death experience and you covered in blood from a definitely infected gun shot wound, I'm asking you marry me.

K: you're not romantic, you're not great with word either. But I love you, so yes.

He suddenly smiles and picks me up spinning me round. The pogues cheer and all clap loadly. Jj puts me down and looks me in the eyes.

Jj: I will never, ever leave you again. I promise.

K: you sure you're gonna keep this one?

Jj: no more broken promises, I love you Keira Thornton.

K: I love you, JJ Maybank.

And with that he takes my face in his hand and kisses me. Our lips touch and sparks fly like in one of those romance movies where the boy finally gets the girl. Our story isn't like some cheesy romance, don't get me wrong we've got the cheese and the drama and the love. But we fought a war to get her and I'll never let him go again. Cause he's right, they'll be no more broken promises.
