INDIANA II JJ Maybank (Outerbanks)

chapter fifteen

As they drove away from the lighthouse, Indi remembered that she had a shift at 'The Wreck' and told JJ to drop her off there. As they pulled up to the Wreck she got out and told them she would catch up with them later when John B would be back.

She got inside and put on her apron. Kie also had a shift today, but it started later in the afternoon.

"Indiana, you are here?" Kie's father said as he came up behind her. She turned around and it seemed as if he was angry.

"Yes. I got a shift, where else should I be?" She asked him.

"Well I just got a call from the police station, telling me to come and pick up my daughter."

"Shit." She said under her breath. If Kiara got caught, her brother was probably also at the police station.

"You don't happen to know anything about that, do you?" He asked her.

"No sir." She gulped. She felt guilty for lying at him but didn't want him to have a bad impression from her.

"That's why you are my favorite waiter." He gave her a smile. "Now get at work, we have a full house, the Kooks decided to turn up after a gold tournament."

Indi looked behind Mr. Carrera and saw all of the Kooks including Topper, Rafe and Kelce. Great, her day couldn't get any better after almost getting killed and arrested.

"See you later." Mr. Carrera said as he rushed out to get to the police station.

She went over to get her note pad and hesitantly made her way up to the Kooks to take their orders.

"Welcome to the Wreck, what can I get you today?" She forced a fake smile upon her.

"Well if it isn't the orphan Pogue." Topper commented. She ignored his comment, after all it wasn't really true, I mean her mother was still alive, even if she didn't give a shit about her.

"Topper knock it off." Rafe told him. She thanked him and took all of their orders and walked back to the kitchen. The Kooks stayed a while, even after they had finished their food and Indi had now finished her shift.

She took off her apron and got out through the back door. She wanted to get home as soon as possible to see if John B was alright.

"Indiana." She turned around to see who called her.

"Rafe?"

"I wanted to ask you something?" He got closer to her, and they were facing each other, to close in her opinion.

"Go on?"

"Look, I really like you and I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go out with me sometime?" She was shocked at his question.

"Rafe." She paused, "Look, I don't know how to tell you this, but you seem like a really nice guy, but it wouldn't be fair of me to go out with you because I'm interested in somebody else."

"Did I fucking ask?"

"What? ye-"

"I said, did I fucking ask" He shouted at her. What was wrong with him, he had just asked her and she just wanted to decline nicely.

"Raf-" Before she could finish her sentence she could feel his hand wrapped around her neck and he had her pushed against the wall.

"Listen up bitch, you are going out with me, wether you like it or not." He spat in her face. With one hand still around her neck he put the other one on her cheek and pushed his lips harshly on hers and she whimpered under him.

She tired to push him away but with him suffocating her, she also lost her strength. She lifted her knee and kneeled him in the crotch as hard as she could and as he bent over she quickly pushed him, sending him to the ground.

As he laid there holding his crotch she started to run away as fast as she could.

"You are gonna regret that bitch!" He yelled after her. She ran the whole way back to the Chateau.

As she arrived she bend over trying to catch her breath after her little marathon. After her breathing had normalized again, she made her way over to the porch and was left in confusion when she saw a fire in her backyard.

The next thing she saw was John B coming out of the house with stuff and throwing it into the fire.

"JB, what the hell are you doing?" She shouted at him.

"It's useless, he's dead, he's not coming back to us!" He yelled at her. He walked back and forth from the Chateau to the fire finding more stuff to throw into it.

"Wait, that's dads stuff." She told him.

"It's not like he is gonna come back and need it." He yelled again. "Don't you get it!"

She looked at the pinboard he had thrown into the fire as she squinted her eyes because she just imagined she saw the name 'Redfield' on it.

"John B." She pointed at it.

"Holy shit." He said as he quickly took out the pinboard again, stomping at it so the fire would stop.

"Holy shit." She repeated with widened eyes.
