Outer Banks Imagines

John B

Y/n pov
You always knew you were different from your friends. You didn't like the taste of beer, you feared that one day you'd get caught by the cops for some illegal shit you guys did, you were shy, and you hated fights. Even as a young kid you just wanted to sit back and watch everyone do their thing and you keep your comments to yourself. However, you had the most outgoing friends in all of outer banks. JJ, John B, Kiara, and Pope. They were all just big balls of energy and fun. I however was laid back and watched them.
"Come on will you please go with us?" Kiara begged me. They wanted to go back down to the boat wreck to see if we could find money or a dead body.
My anxiety got the best of me.
"Ya I'm sure. You guys go I'll stay here." I told them.
"Y/n please go?" John B asked. "Your the most logical." He said. That's true, I was smarter then Pope.
"Fine." I huffed and stood up from my chair.
"Alright let's go!" JJ yelled and ran to the boat. I was nervous, you couldn't tell on the outside but it definitely was burning my insides.

"Great their all empty. Except this one." Kiara said looking at the tanks John B grabbed from the Cameron's boat.
"That's enough for one of us to go." I said to them.
"So does anyone know how to dive?" Pope asked us. We all silently looked at each other.
"It's kind of a kook sport." JJ said.
"I can dive." John B said like it was nothing.
"Ya I'm cool with that." JJ said and sat back down.
"How hard can it be?" John B said and picked up the gear.
"Well if you come up to fast you can get the bends." Pope stated.
"Like bend over..." JJ said bending over and sticking his ass out. I chuckled at his behavior. He really didn't know the dangers of this situation.
"The bends kill you." I told him.
"Right." He mumbled and stood up straight.
I ignored the rest of their conversation as I looked at the tanks.
"John B listen you need to watch this ok?" I said pointing to the time.
"And make your pit spot at the 10." I told him again.
"Where's the 10 mark at?" He asked. Could he not count? I sighed and took my shirt off and jumped into the water. I swam down and tied it to the rope.
Once I reached the surface I climbed back up on the boat.
"I tied my shirt where you need to stop." I told him as I walked over to him. He nodded and gave me a small thanks.
"We're not supposed to be out here so I'd get down there now." Pope commented. John B stood up on the side of the boat. I stopped him and grabbed his hand. He turned to face me.
"Diver down?" He asked.
"Diver down." I said and kissed his cheek. I don't know why I did that in front of everyone. I liked John B, have for a while now actually. Although he seems more into Kiara.
"Is that the cops?" Kiara asked panicked. I turned away from the water and saw the cops pull up next to our boat.
My anxiety rose fast. This is when I wish John B was here. We've been best friends forever and he knew how to calm me down. I was afraid we'd get caught. Yelled at. Go to jail. My anxiety was getting the best of me right now.
I sat in the drivers seat of the boat and paid attention to my phone. I just needed to block them out.
"Excuse me?" I heard a deep voice. I looked up to see Shoupe sharing at me.
"Y-yes." I said shaking. Please leave. Please leave.
"Did you know you weren't supposed to be out here on the marsh?" He asked me with raised eyebrows. I looked at everyone and started to panic. First off John B was probably running out of air, and second do I lie to the cop?
"No sir. But we'll be leaving soon." I told him trying to play it cool.
"That you will." He said and got back onto his boat and drove off.
"He's gotta be out of air by now." Pope exclaimed and we all looked over the edge.
"Holy shit man you scared us!" JJ said as John B reached the surface. Thank god he was alive.
"I ran out of air." He said swimming over to us.
"So did you find anything?" I asked him as he climbed up the ladder.
"Did I find anything?" He chuckled and threw a bag on the boat.
Well it definitely was something. Could be money or drugs.
"Uh guys bogey 2 o'clock." Kiara said. I turned around and saw a boat coming our way.
"Don't they know the marsh is closed?" Pope asked. I've seen every single boat in the outerbanks except that one. Those people definitely weren't supposed to be here on the island.
"Go go!" JJ yelled bringing me out of my trance.
"John B their gaining on us." I told him and stood next to him. He looked down at me.
"We'll be ok. I promise." He whispered so only I could hear. I gave him a weak nod and then rested my head against his arm.
I tried my best to calm my breathing and think positive thoughts.
"Holy shit!" I heard and a loud bang ran through the air. They were shooting at us.
"Get down." JJ yelled. I felt Pope pull on my hand and drag me down to the ground.
"John B get down." I cried out as another shot went through the air.
I watched as Kiara got up and grabbed a net. I knew exactly what she was doing, the net would hit the boats propellers and stop them. Right as I felt the our boat take another sharp turn I fell into darkness.

"Hey y/n wake up." I heard a concerned voice. I let out a grumble.
"There ya go come on wake up." The person said again. I slowly blinked my eyes and fully opened them. Above me was John B who looked like he had just cried.
"Where are we?" I mumbled out. I felt him grab my hand.
"You passed out on the boat. Your laying on the couch of the chateau." He said and brushed the hair that was on my face away.
"Y/n." Kie said sitting next to me and gaining my attention. "Why did you pass out?" She asked me.
"I don't really know. The last time that happened." I was saying but John B cut me off.
"This isn't the first time?" He asked frantically.
"No um. The first time was when my parents were arguing and they kept screaming. I got scared and was freaking out. That was years ago though." I told them and sat up. I leaned my back against the couch.
"Today I must've passed out from the commotion going on. I um don't do well in high pressure situations you guys know that." I said and looked down. It was embarrassing to pass out in front of my friends and my crush.
"Could I talk to you y/n alone?" John B asked changing the conversation. He could tell I was embarrassed and uncomfortable. I nodded a yes and he helped me stand up. We walked to his room and I shut his door. "So?" I asked him as we both sat on his bed.
"Are you ok? Like really are you ok?" He asked me gripping my hand that sat in my lap.
"Ya I'm ok now." I said giving him a small little smile.
"Um earlier. Today. When you kissed me, why did you do that?" He asked me. Damn I hoped he forgot about that.
"I did it, well, because I like you." I told him and didn't meet his eyes.
"You like me as in love me?" He asked. I shook my head yes.
"But it's ok if you don't." I was saying but he stopped me.
"I love you too." He said with a smile. Woah what?
"You like me?" I asked him as a smile spread across my face.
"I love you." He corrected me. I leaned in fast and kissed his lips. He was a good kisser. It was passionate and slow. I pulled back to get a breath of air.
"You Uh wanna do that again?" He asked me. I let out a small chuckle but kissed him again.
