jarah one shots 💓

the edge of okay

(john Bs pov)
It's been a month since everything happened with Sarah's family.
A month since she got shot.
A month since she had been drowned.
A month since she'd been strangled.

Although these things all happened separately they were all within the same 4 weeks and at the time the focus was on one escaping her family, and two finding the cross for pope's benefit, as well as our profit!

So we haven't had much time to process anything at all, and now a month later it's all becoming real that these things really did happen to her and although she doesn't want to show it everyone can see that it's beginning to take it's toll on her mental health.

It's been a month since.. well everything. Everything happened so quickly and so much at once. I met john B and it was the clearest decision I've ever had to make, and although that's the best decision I have ever made it's also come with the fact that my family really does resent me.

I mean come on I've nearly been killed three times by my Dad and brother, and I was good at hiding it at the beginning but everything has really taken its toll on me and my mental health and i'm really worried that people are going to start seeing through my mask.

It was a normal day on the obx. John B and Sarah have woken up next to each other, JJ and Kiara are still in denial over their love for each other and Cleo and Pope are still a part of the no love club. John B and JJ woke up first and walked down to the boat to catch some fish for later.

Whilst walking down they got into a conversation about their love lives and John B was trying to convince JJ that he should go for it with Kiara, as usual he was being stubborn and afraid of loving or being loved.

Quickly he changed the conversation into Sarah and they both shared their concerns about how she's spiralling but she doesn't think anyone has noticed, although they all have. They end up catching enough fish for their dinner and headed back.

Once they arrive back John B climbed back into bed with a still sleeping Sarah and plays with her hair, he drifts off back to sleep until he's woken to the sound of screaming.

He jolts up and realises that it's Sarah. Having a nightmare. She's tossing and turning and crying and shouting in her sleep, John B is trying to wake her up be she isn't waking up, Kiara hears all the screaming and comes sprinting into the room.
"I can't wake her up Kie"! John B says anxiously

"It'll be okay JB we just need to get her up and stop this nightmare"

Kie ends up pulling her up to a sitting position and pulls on her hair and shakes her.

Soon enough she wakes up and collapses into John Bs arms, her breathing is laboured and she's clammy and hot.

"He, he c-came back an and was drowning me and i i was drowning again" Sarah gasped.

"Hey, hey Sarah it's okay. It was just a nightmare you were dreaming, your awake now your home with me and your safe" John B says whilst adjusting her so she's looking into his eyes.

He cups her face and reminds her to breathe and repeats the comforting words to her "it's okay sar, your safe". When she fully wakes up she's okay again and stops crying. She takes a deep breath and thanks John B and tells him she's going to go take a shower as she's all sweaty from her bad dream "okay babe" he reply's concerned.

JJ and Pope had heard the commotion and once Sarah had left went in to talk to John B

"What was that about?" Pope said,

"Yeah dude that was wild, I used to wake up like that when Luke would abuse me when i was a kid" replied JJ.

"Yeah i don't know man, somethings up with her, I think Rafe was in her dream drowning her again or something" said John B, slightly bewildered.
