epilogue

As I sit on my surfboard, waiting for a wave to come, I hear a familiar voice shouting in the distance. I look over my shoulder, my eyes falling upon my boyfriend. He's so pretty — his blonde hair and blue eyes clashing with one another perfectly. He is perfect.

Me and JJ have just arrived in Fiji, which is the place I've been dreaming of visiting since, like, forever. We found The Blue Crown and earned thousands upon millions in reward. That was four months ago. Over the past four months the pogues and I bought back Pouglandia 2.0, Sarah found out the gender of her baby, and everything has finally fallen into place.

We managed to clear JJ's name with the help of bringing Groff back to Outerbanks and getting him to finally confess to everything he had done. Pope isn't in the military, thankfully. It may be sorta illegal, but we paid for his freedom.

Yes, crazy, I know.

So now, me and JJ thought it would be best to get some time to ourselves. He promised that we would visit Fiji first, so here we are. It's a beautiful place, but not as beautiful as JJ. He's the one person in this world who truly gets me and nobody will ever replace him. That's why when JJ told me he wanted to travel around the world for a couple of months, I didn't hesitate to say yes. There's nobody else that I would rather travel the world with than him.

"Marley, do you want Shrimp or Pears!?" The blonde shouts out to me from the beach, which is where we've spent our whole day at.

"How about both!?" I reply loudly, a smile on my face at the sight of my boyfriend grinning from ear to ear. He deserves to be happy after everything he has went through, and I can't be happier to see him enjoying himself.

Of course there has been other stuff that's happened besides the good. Topper and Ruthie are still strutting around the island like they own the place, but I couldn't care less. I don't have to care, anymore. Not when I'm thousands of miles away and on the prettiest beach in the world.

I decide to paddle back to the shore, feeling that I've had enough surfing for one day. I'm greeted with a kiss from JJ, his arm snaking around my tan waist. "Did I ever tell you how hot you are?"

"Uh, plenty of times. Yes." I answer confidently before kissing the boy once again, my hands cupping his cheeks, which are tanned from the beating and bright sun.

"Well I'm going to tell you a million more times." He smiles against my lips, both of his hands now resting on my hips.

I pull away with a smile. "I love you, JJ." My voice suddenly grows soft, indicating that I really do mean my words. JJ is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life. He's funny, handsome, loyal, and so many other things. The most important thing is that he's mine and I am his, and I couldn't be more grateful to have someone like him in my life.

"I love you, Marley."

In this moment, it feels that the Wild Wave has finally blended in with the rest of the ocean, casting a warm and fuzzy light over my heart — a heart that belongs to none other than JJ.

A/N : hey guysssssss! so i know that i was planning on writing a season three and the first part of season four, (we aren't talking about the second part, especially the last episode) butttttt there was a change of plans because of what happened to jj. i know that many of you guys were probably excited to see season three and the good parts of season four, but i don't like writing the story after knowing how jj's fate ends. also, there was no way i was killing jj off. it was an honor writing jarley for as long as i did, and i want to thank everyone for reading it, and showing support!!! im not sure if im going to revise the rest of the chapters, but i might. anyway, sorry for this long ass authors note.

it's been a pleasure 👏
