Adeline pov:

"JJ, get the bowline," John B shouts in a rushed voice.

"Yeah." he nods running to the front of the boat. I step up to help him until I see the men on the boat heading straight towards us grab something quite large. I gasp before ducking slightly while shouting to the others,

"They have a gun! Get down!"

"Go into the marsh," Pope suggests.

John B listened as he quickly started to swerve through the marsh with the men still following.

Hearing gunshots ring out I quickly pull JJ down so he was crouching beside me.

They weren't slowing down so I quickly looked for a solution.

I look forward seeing the fishnet and advance towards it while making eye contact with Kie as she shakes her head mumbling no.

Ignoring her protest and JJ's attempt at pulling me back down I rushed to the net to yank it up, and spread it out to throw overboard.

I get the net in the water as another shot rings through the air.

I feel the blood trickle down my arm before I feel any type of pain. I'm pulled out of my trance by John B shaking my uninjured shoulder asking if I was okay.

I turn to see Pope now sterling the boat and JJ and Kie standing on the bow looking behind us.

I make eye contact with JJ just as John B gasps seeing my arm,

"Uh I think I'm bleeding." his eyes widen and I see him run to me as my eyes start to feel heavy. I lean into him as I rest my head on his chest.

"Come on Adeline you need to stay away. Okay? You will not die on my watch."

My eyes flutter with heavy sleeping pulling on them as I mutter something only for him to hear,

"I die a little every day."

I wake up what seems like years later when it's just been a few minutes as I feel JJ set me down on the pull out couch in the chateau. I rub my eyes as I watch him walk back outside where the pogues were until minutes later he walks back in, silently grabbing my hand and softly pulling me towards the bathroom.

He lightly picks me up and sets me on the counter before leaving the bathroom as Pope rushed in slamming the door closed behind him.

"They're really worried. And your arm. We tried to take you to the hospital but you kept mumbling no and it really irritated JJ that you were being so stubborn yet he couldn't argue with you." Pope rushed then ended with a huff.

I sigh, going to put my head in my hands, not realizing the agonizing pain it would cause.

I let out a yelp as JJ starts pounding on the door,

"Hey, why is the door locked? Pope, we need to clean up her arm before it gets infected or something."

Pope huffs, grabbing the doorknob but turns to me before opening it,

"You know you have to tell them soon."

He walks out as JJ walks in, a slight frown upon his lips. I looked at his lips a minute too long as I didn't hear that he was talking to me.

"Ads, did you hear me? I asked how the arm felt." I shook my head slightly trying to get out of the trance he put me in,

"It was just skimmed, not like I actually got shot."

JJ just let out a snort grumbling,

"You could have."

I put my hand on his shoulder getting his attention,

"But I'm alright aren't I? A little bruised but that's all."

He shakes his head in disbelief as what had happened was a big deal. Ever since I found out I may have less than a year to live, death hasn't scared me. Even since I was young I knew it was inevitable.

Somehow, someday.

JJ gently grabs my hand from his shoulder and sets it along my thigh with his hand still holding mine,

"If I lost you, I'd have no one. I need you to live." my eyes tear up knowing one day he'll have to move on without me.

I don't respond scared that my voice will crack so I pull him into a tight hug trying to not injure my arm even more. I let a tear slip out before quickly wiping it away and slightly pulling away to grab his face in my hands,

"I will always be with you."

He kisses my head before tending to my arm. Simple disinfect and wrapping it up once he was finished he put everything away.

"You're kinda a pro at this you know? You should become one of those hot nurses from Grey's Anatomy." I chuckled, poking his cheek.

He let out a loud laugh as the heat rose to his tanned cheeks,

"You think I'm hot?" he asks raising his eyebrows in a suggestive manner,

I roll my eyes deciding to continue our banter,

"I'm not blind JJ." I wink.

I notice his jaw hanging open for a minute too long until I'm suddenly lifted off the bathroom counter and thrown over his shoulder. I gasp at the sudden movement as he moves me to make sure he doesn't hurt my arm.

He walks outside to where all the other pogues are standing around the cylinder container from Scooter's boat and sets me down next to him.

"Oh, God. What do you think it is?"

"Gotta be money, right?" John B suggested.

"That or a couple of keys with street value to the low- to mid-mils!" JJ adds in.

Pope lets out a groan as the other boys list out their guesses,

"Can we please just open the bag?" I reach for his hand and lightly rub the back of it trying to calm him.

"Wow, Pope. That's a rare outburst of emotion." John B mutters. Pope just rolls his eyes,

"Okay. You guys are literally killing me with anticipation. Open the bag. We almost died over this. Mostly Adeline." I send him a small glare as John B reaches for the canister.

JJ slings his arm over my shoulders pulling me close to him as John B slides the canister open.

"Oh, wow. Yup. That's about right." Pope grumbles seeing the object that fell out onto the table.

I let out a small gasp as JJ throws up an arm in frustration,

"Guys, what? It's not worth anything." JJ says, noticing John B and I's looks towards the compass.

"That was big John's," I say pointing as John B mutters after me,

"Yeah, it was my fathers."
