You chose to ask Rafe to use his boat to pick up the other pogues!
You figured it would not hurt to ask him. So, as you both were prepping the boat, you seized the perfect opportunity to ask.
"Hey, Rafe?" you began with.
"Yeahh?" he replied.
"Before we go, could we, umm.. could we find the other pogues and pick them up?" you asked cautiously.
Rafe stopped what he was doing for a second. "So, they're all here?"
"Yes. I could use the phone we snatched from one of the bodyguards to contact them, set up a place to meet, and pick them up from there."
"And you are sure you want to do that after how they have been treating you?"
"How do you know about the way they have been treating me?"
He paused to think of the right response. "I have my sources," he settled on.
You looked at him suspiciously, but decided now was not the best time to discuss about it. "Whatever," you said, shaking your head. "And, yes, I am sure."
"Okay," Rafe simply stated. "Then, we'll track them down."
You stare at him, baffled. "Seriously?!"
"Yeahh."
"And you're su-"
"Y/n, I said I would do it, so stop with the twenty questions."
You put your hands up in defense as Rafe turned the key of the boat to start its engine.
Minutes later, you redocked the boat and found the pogues, a huge smile plastered your face.
"Guys, over here!" you squealed.
With their heads turning, they all made their way over to you and embraced you in a hug.
"What happened?" Sarah questioned.
"I'll explain later," you answered. "Right now, we should get out of here."
You lead them all to the boat. You were about to hop on until you saw that the others spotted Rafe at the wheel of the boat.
"What is he doing here?" John B inquired in a demanding tone.
"Does it matter?" you fired back with. "He can get us home."
"Yes, it does matter!" Kie shouted. "Because of what he's done!"
"And I know that! But, we can take advantage of this! Or would you rather stay here, knowing you are being hunted by one of the most powerful men on Earth!?"
"They have a fair point," Rafe points out, including himself in the conversation and gaining the attention of the others.
"Fuck off, Rafe!" JJ exclaimed, clearly annoyed with everything.
"All I'm saying is we all want to get home, so let's go already!" Rafe bit back in frustration.
"And all I'm saying is that you are only siding with y/n because you want in their pants!" JJ pushed. "Admit it, Rafe! You want to fuck them so ba-!"
"Oh my god, JJ!" you intervene. "This isn't the time for-"
"Oh, but I think it is the time for this!" John B declared. "Because you just want to fuck Rafe just as badly as he wants to!"
You scoff. "Just because I want peace with everyone, does not mean I want to fuck them!"
"It does when you want to make amends with him, of all people!" Kie jumps in with.
"Well, you know what I think!?" you step closer to her.
"Enlighten me, y/n! I would love to hear what you have to say!" Kie sarcastically says.
"Well, I think you're just jealous tha-!"
"ENOUGH!" Cleo yelled, stepping in between you and Kiara. "This has gone on for too long! And, besides, y/n is right. If we want off of this island, we have to take what we can get."
Cleo proceeds to hop on the boat.
"I'd have to agree with y/n, too," Pope admitted. "I don't necessarily like the idea, but it could be our only shot to get out of here."
Pope hops on the boat, as well, followed by Sarah.
You breathe heavily and, in a calmer manner, you say, "It's your choice. I'm done fighting with you about it."
You hop on the boat and, reluctantly, everyone else follows suit.
Some time later, a scare from armed bodyguards, and John B leaving at a very unfortunate time where you could not wait for him, you leave the docking area and head off in the direction to Outer Banks.
As you get further out to sea, Rafe allows Kiara to take the wheel. You watch him intently, which catches the attention of Cleo.
"You really do like him," she commented as she leans back on the boat next to you. "Don't you?"
"What?! Noooo," you deny before backtracking. "I mean.. I.. I don't know. I shouldn't, but.."
You sigh heavily, your feelings for Rafe making you conflicted on what to do.
"Well, it seems like you two have a different history than the others have with him," Cleo observes.
"And you'd be correct," you confirmed. "He, uhh.. he saved my life. The others, well, more specifically, Kie, John B, and JJ do not know about it because they never give me a chance to explain. Pope and Sarah know what you know, but I will not be telling the full story because Rafe and I agreed on mutual terms that we kept it between us. I would never even think about breaking our agreement unless we both confirmed with each other that it was okay to tell the story."
Still looking at Rafe, you notice that he is staring back and, with a subtle movement of his head, he flags you over.
You excuse yourself from the conversation with Cleo and make your way over to him.
"What's up?" you ask after you were in earshot.
"Does she know?" he questioned, knowing you knew what he was talking about.
"Yeahh," you said in confirmation. "She had her suspicions, and I told her what I told Pope and your sister."
"Okay. How are you holding up, by the way? What they said was a bit harsh."
"I'm alright. I just wish they would take the time to allow me to explain like what I did with Cleo only seconds ago."
"Sooner or later, they will find out. Its just a matter of time."
"I know."
