Ocean Eyes-Outer Banks

chapter 20

"rafe?"

"hi princess." he said still holding onto her wrist.

she looked out to where the pogues had been before and they weren't there.

"jj!" she shouted.

"baby, he left. your sweet little jj left you. he never really cared about you." he said harshly.

"you're lying! you're a liar! where are they?" she screamed trying to get away from the boy.

"hey, hey. calm down caroline. those pogues, the ones you call friends, never even liked you. and jj, he never really loved you. he just wanted you for your body. he just wanted to say he had sex with caroline becker. and now it's my turn! i'm the only one who actually loves you caroline! i love you! not anyone else!" rafe started dragging her by her arm, her feet in the sand. she was squirming to get free.

"let me go! you bastard!" she screamed and cried.

"caroline. caroline caroline." rafe was saying.

"caroline!" it wasn't rafe, it was jj.

she sat up quickly, she looked around to process where she was. in a bed. in...john bs house. with everyone sitting around her.

"holy shit!" kie shouted giving her a hug.

"no...no, no!" caroline screamed, crawling into a ball. "where's rafe?" she yelled.

"what? rafes not here, he never was." pope said.

caroline couldn't think straight her mind wasn't focusing. "what the hell happened?"

"what do you remember?" john b asked.

"i remember surfing the wave and-and falling and being trapped under water and then rafe...he-he pulled me out, he saved me. he said you guys left me. and that you don't actually care about me." she turned to jj. "and that you don't actually love me."

"what? baby no! you fell and by the time we got to you, you were unconscious on the ocean floor, so we brought you back here, you've been knocked out for like 3 hours." jj said pulling her into an embrace.

"holy shit." was all she said

"you're lucky caroline, there was a reef about 3 feet away from your head, if you would've hit that instead of the sand, you would've have been dead, there was so much power in that current. would've spilt your head open." pope said sadly.

caroline looked at jj and gave him a huge hug. they didn't let go for a long time. until finally jj pulled apart to look at her. "don't ever pull that shit again. i swear to god i will kill you if you do that one more time." he said smiling.

"i promise." she smiled at the boy pecking his lips.

jj craved more, he needed it from her. he needed a longer kiss, a more passionate kiss, he needed her. but he couldn't do anything because everyone was sitting around them.

"ok...caroline needs more sleep and so do we. let's all go to bed."

"ok, pope and i will take my room. kie can have to spare and jj and caroline can have the pullout." john b said.

"deal! kie said running back to her room.

"goodnight love birds." john b said turning off the light. 

"goodnight bird shit!" jj said calling out to him.

"fuck off jj." john b said from down the hall.

caroline giggled at the twos bickering. jj smiled knowing he made caroline laugh.

"baby, i need you. please." jj said turning to her.

"jj i can't have sex with you, i feel like you're using me..." she said quietly.

"what?" jj's voice cracked. "no no no baby. i would never use you like that. i know you are more than your body. and that's the reason i love you. i was just saying i need a passionate kiss from you. that peck wasn't good enough. i almost lost you princess."

caroline smiled up until his last word. princess. hearing that word stung her skin more than she could ever imagine. all she could picture was rafe pulling her down the beach. she snapped out of her thoughts and leaned into a kiss. they're mouths moved beautifully. finally jj pulled away needing air.
"i love you."
"i love you too." she smiled.
