"JJ!" BREE GASPED OUT AS SHE SWAM TOWARD HIM. It did not take her very long, and she was under him in no time. Now, all she had to do was keep him afloat until John B came for them in the lifeboat. That was proving to be a little bit more difficult a task than she thought it would be. It had been a while since she treaded water for that long even without having to hold another person's weight. "Stay with me. John B's coming. John B's coming, okay? John B! Help!"
She sighed in relief when she heard the engine of the lifeboat on the other side of the ship. The blood from JJ's head wound was starting to drip into the water, and she was a little scared that it might attract sharks to them. She heard Kie's voice, causing her head to shoot up. "Hey!"
"JJ! No! No! No! No! No! JJ! JJ!" the Routledge boy yelled when he saw the blonde boy in the water as they pulled around the edge of the boat and toward their friends. She tried to swim, but her legs were starting to give out.
Once the boat got close enough that they could grab them, She used what was remaining for her strength to lift the top half of the blonde boy out of the water so that John B could lift him out. Then, Pope, Kie, and Cleo helped her into the vehicle as well. "Grab him."
She finally collapsed on her back, spitting out the dirty salt water that had filled her mouth. After about two seconds though, she crawled over to the Maybank boy and started shaking him violently.
"Come on, J. Wake up," she muttered to him, and a couple of the others were huddled around her, waiting to see if their friend was alright.
All of a sudden, the engine of the boat started sputtering, and the vehicle started to slow down, causing all of them to furrow their eyebrows at him. The Carrera girl questioned, "What's going on? What's happening?"
"We're stalling out," the brunette boy answered.
"You serious? We're sitting ducks. We gotta go," the Heyward boy yelled as they all started shouting at each other. Pope pointed to Rafe on the boat who was pointing a gun straight at them. They were not yet far enough away that they were not in the range of fire. He could definitely hit them from there. "He's pointing at us. Hurry!" Finally, John B got the boat working again, and they sped away from the ship. He and Bree went back to trying to get JJ to wake up.
