Outer Banks Imagines

JJ

Y/n pov
Whenever I had to fill out my name I wished I could put my last name as routledge. My parents died when I was younger from a car crash and John B dad took me in. He never officially adopted me so I always had to leave my name like my parents. I don't really remember them however. Before big John went missing he told me I was a lot like my dad. Badass, bitchy, sarcastic and full of spunk. That's probably one of the best compliments I've ever gotten.
Since I was old enough I have worked at the wreck. A restaurant owned by Kiaras family and is super popular with the tourist.
"You good to lock up?" Kiaras dad asked me holding a set of keys out. He had a dinner date with his wife tonight and asked me to lock the doors.
"Yeah definitely. Did you lock the patio doors though?" I asked as I put the last set of dishes away.
"Yup, just lock the front ones. Thank you y/n and I'll see you on Friday!" He said as he was walking out the door.
"Bye!" I yelled back as the door started to the shut.
I cleaned off the tables again and cleaned the bathrooms. I did a once over of everything and then finally I was done. I clocked out and grabbed my stuff and the restaurant keys.
Pulling on the handle I made sure the door was secure and locked. Finally I could go home. All I wanted was a shower and some sleep. We were super busy at the wreck today.
"Hey beautiful." A raspy voice said behind me. I quickly turned out thinking it was just a perve trying to get money from me.
"What do you two want?" I said annoyed as I finally saw it was Rafe and topper. The asshole kooks. They thought they owned this whole island.
"Well ya see y/n." Rafe started to say and moved closer to me. He was much taller then me so I had to look up at him. "Your little buddy took something of ours." Rafe said getting angrier by the second.
"Fucking bitch sunk my boat." Topper growled at me.
"What?" I asked confused and took a step back from them. "JJ didn't do that. I've been with him all week." I said confused.
"What about when you were working. Happened yesterday at about five. You also were working then." Rafe said putting the pieces together. Shit. I knew pope and JJ did something because they beat pope up but they didn't tell me exactly what they did.
"I dont know and you don't know either if JJ did anything to your boat." I rolled my eyes.
"Let's just get this over with." Topper ignored me and talked to Rafe. Rafe turned his head to topper and then back to me with a smirk.
"Your right topper. Let's just get this over with." He said. I didn't have time to even see his fist fly through the air and hit me in the cheek. I immediately fell to the ground dropping my belongings.
"What the fuck!" I yelled at them from pain. They both looked down at me and were clearly angry.
"Your boy is dead soon. But you'll have to do for know." Rafe laughed and punched me again. I screamed out in pain.
"You know I always thought you were beautiful, but then JJ came in and swept you away. I guess I'll hurt you for picking him too." Rafe snickered and landed another punch to my ribs. I screamed out in pain. I think topper hit me next? I wasn't even sure anymore. I was punched, kicked, choked all in the span of ten minutes. However it felt like hours.
"Let's go." I heard a voice and then felt nothing but pain and bruises. I assumed they left from the loud roar of dirtbikes starting up. I rolled over in the dirt in pain. I needed help. I had to get to the chateau. I needed home and my friends.
As fast as I could I got up. Luckily John B let me take the van to work. I knew the pogues would be out on the marsh right now so I had time to cover my bruises. I didn't want them to know. I was embarrassed definitely, but I also didn't want to start more fights. I also didn't want to seem weak. They would never let me go alone anywhere.

I tried my best to drive back to the chateau. I was right though, no one was home. I took a quick shower and climbed into bed. They new to leave me alone if I was sleeping so I didn't worry about covering up my bruises and marks from Rafe and topper. Slowly I drifted off into a painful sleep. My whole body wouldn't stop hurting.

Waking up in the morning I felt a little better. I didn't wince any more as I walked and I could breath without my breath hitching in pain. I covered up all the bruises that I could hide with clothing. I used a lot of makeup for them.

"Hey guys." I said as I walked out of the chateau. They were all on the dock.
"Morning sis." John B smiled my way.
"Morning." Kiara said as she tapped the bongos lightly. I tried to be my usual self so they didn't suspect something.
"What up dork?" I joked to JJ and ruffled his hair. He quickly pushed me away and fixed his hair back as best he could.
"Morning to you too." He grumbled.
"So what's the plan today?" I asked leaning against the railing.
"Gonna go to the marsh later." John B said sipping his beer.
"JJ you gonna fail another party trick if we go out there?" I joked with him. Everyone chuckled at my comment. JJ always had some new party trick to show us when we went out boating. Sometimes he'd show us previous party tricks that definitely didn't work out.
"Hey!" He said annoyed when we all laughed at him. He rolled his eyes but quickly came at me and picked me up.
"JJ!" I shrieked.
"I'm not in the mood to be laughed at today." He joked and quickly I was thrown into the water. I quickly reached the surface. I completely forgot about my bruises and climbed back up on the dock.
"Hey woah!" John B said stopping me and pulling my face into his hands. Oh right. Fuck! They weren't supposed to see. A big bruise had lined my face from my eye down to my jaw.
"What the fuck." John B whispered to himself as he started at the bruise.
"Did one of you do this?" He said turning angry and looked at the pogues. He let go of my face and stood tall in front of them.
"What!" Pope exclaims mar that his friend thinks they'd hurt his sister.
"Hey we didn't do shit! I love her I wouldn't dare fucking lay a hand on her!" JJ said angry and shoved John B chest.
"Guys! Stop please." I begged them and stood between JJ and John B before a fight broke out between them. "JJ you love me?" I asked him shocked. He's never told me that and I didn't know if it was a friend love or girlfriend love. "JB it wasn't one of the pogues ok? After work I was locking the doors and Rafe and topper stopped me. Said something about JJ doing some shit to their boat? I don't know, but don't accuse them, it wasn't the pogues." I said sticking up for my friends. I didn't want a fight between the pogues it definitely wouldn't end well.
"Wait Rafe and topper did this?" John B said pointing to my bruise. I gave him a nod of affirmation. I still wanted to go back to what JJ said but if course they'd make a big deal out of what the two boys did. Did JJ love me back was the question I wanted answered so badly.
"Those assholes!" He yelled.
"Why did you tell us?" JJ asked angry also. "I'm gonna fucking kill them!" He yelled also.
"No. I-I was scared to tell you. I didn't want any more fights. I was in to much pain and I just couldnt face you guys." I said giving them a look of sadness.
"I wish I could agree with you y/n but we gotta do something. They left you to practically die on the ground!" She said upset.
"We're not letting you go anywhere by your self anymore." John B stated.
"I'll stay with you. I'm not leaving your side." JJ said coming closer to me.
"I hate to admit it but their right y/n." Pope sighed. This is what I was afraid of.
"As much as I want to let you guys beat their ass I don't want to talk about it right now." I said quietly and looked own at my shoes. I felt something he placed on my head. Looking up JJ hat was no longer on his head and he now placed it mine.
"To cover it up." He said giving me a small smile and then reached to grab my hand.
"Thank you." I said giving him a smile. "Could we also talk? In private." I said looking at the pogues. I watched them all walk off but JJ.
"You love me?" I asked him immediately. He scratched the back of his neck.
"Shit. I thought maybe you'd forget I said that. But yes I do." He said being shy.
"Do you love me more then a friend?" I asked to clarify.
"Definitely." He chuckled and nodded his head quickly.
"JJ I love you much more then a friend also." I said giving him a smile. He perked up at my words and looked into my eyes.
"I love you." He said quickly with a big smile.
"I love you too." I said back and kissed him hard.
