Romeo save me || JJ Maybank

Chapter Forty Seven

"Us?" Sarah asked

"Yeah, Sarah, come on," John B pleaded with her.

"You wanna talk about us right now?" Sarah questioned furrowing her eyebrows and gesturing to the situation that we were in.

"Yes. I... I... I'm sorry, okay?" John B continued.

This was normally a JJ thing to do. Start asking about something totally different when we were in a serious situation so it made me laugh that John B had now decided to talk to Sarah about their relationship status.

"I'm sorry," he repeated. "And... and I should have said it sooner. I want you to have this back," he told her holding out the piece of his bandana that he gave Sarah when they got married. "Will you take it?"

There was a moment of silence between them where Sarah glanced between the piece of bandana in John B's hand and his face and she finally decided to close the space between them and connect their lips.

"Kinda jealous right now, I can't lie," JJ whispered to me.

"What do you mean? Aw did you wanna kiss John B?" I laughed quietly not wanting to ruin John B and Sarah's moment.

"No, I haven't gotten any action in what feels like years. A boy has needs, you know?" JJ mumbled.

"JJ, it's been like a couple days. And incase you didn't notice, we've been a tad busy," I told him, trust JJ to say something like that at this moment of time.

Me and JJ were snapped out of our conversation when John B walked over to the three of us, once Sarah walked into the gate, with a wide grin plastered on his face.

"Hey!" Pope whisper-shouted "Do you want me to perform your vows while you're at it?"

"Did you say 'be safe'?" JJ asked.

"Christ, we don't have all the time in the world you know?" I added.

"I said be safe," John B replied

"What's she doing?" Pope asked making our attention fall onto Sarah who was looking in the drivers seat of the truck before turning to us shrugging her shoulders.

She mouthed something to us but because it was pitch black out and we was a fair distance away from her, we couldn't make out what she was saying so instead the four of us gestured for her to come back.

"No. No, don't go inside," Pope said when Sarah made her move to walk inside her house.

"Shit," I whispered. "Fuck this, I'm going after her," I told the three boys and pulled myself up to jump over the wall.

"What?- No, Lauren!" JJ whisper- shouted.

"Do the birdcall," Pope told John B and the brunette did as he was told and imitated a birdcall very poorly. "Where you going?"

"I'm going to help her," I replied waving at them and quickly ran inside the house towards Sarah whilst being as quiet as I could.

"Sarah!" I whispered and she came into view and ushered me next to her.

"We need to find the keys to the truck," she told me.

I nodded in response to her and we quietly looked for the keys even though I had no clue where they could be.

"Shit," Sarah whispered but before I could say anything she pulled me arm and we walked down the hall.

We started roaming around her house in search of the key in hope that we could get them and go without being caught. The thought of bumping into Rafe sent shivers down my spine.

"Wait. Follow me," Sarah told me and I walked behind her in the direction of Wheezie's room. "Hey," she whispered once we had walked into Wheezie's room.

"Oh! Rose was looking for you. She said we're going on a trip or something, and she said that Lauren's coming too," Wheezie told us.

"I'm not going anywhere with her. And neither is Lauren," Sarah said walking further into the room.

"Not according to her," Wheezie sighed. "By the way, where have you been?" 

"Oh, you know. Murdering people we don't like, the usual," I told her sarcastically ans sitting on her bed, Sarah doing the same.

"Funny," Wheezie sniggered.

"Trapped in the weirdest three days of my life. I have so much to tell you and I'm so sorry to ask you for another favour but right now, I need your help. We need your help," Sarah told Wheezie gesturing between herself and me.

"On on condition, no more leaving me," Wheezie agreed.

"Promise," Sarah whispered, we both knew that she couldn't keep that promise and I knew how much it killed her to lie to Wheezie.

"We need you to distract Rafe," I told her 

"Why? What's going on?" Wheezie asked carrying on putting clothes in her suitcase.

"I'll fill you in later but for now please do this for us," Sarah pleaded, reaching out to hold Wheezie's hands and after a moment of silence between the three of us Wheezie reluctantly nodded letting out a deep breath.

"Thank you so much," I said as me and Sarah rushed out of the girls room.

We waited in the bathroom until Wheezie gave us the signal that she was distracting Rafe in her room.

"Do you think this will work?" I asked Sarah sitting down on the edge of the toilet.

"I hope so," Sarah replied. "Come on," she told me after looking out the door to see Rafe going into Wheezie's room. "Okay, you go outside and make sure Rafe doesn't go there and I'll get the keys and meet you out there,"

I nodded to her and walked outside and stayed behind the truck so if Rafe did come outside he wouldn't be able to see me right away. I looked to the wall I had previously climbed over and for some reason the boys weren't looking out for us. They seemed to have disappeared, and this is why you don't trust three boys as lookout. Especially JJ.

"Lauren," I heard Sarah whisper after about five minutes.

"Yeah, I'm back here," I told her and a few seconds later she joined me at the back of the truck. "Should we like, check the cross is in there?" 

She didn't answer me but went to unlock the doors to the back of the truck and took the padlock off, so I helped her open the doors. And I think it's safe to say I didn't expect to see what was inside.

It was Renfield staring back at us, but he didn't seem alive. He was dead. I looked towards Sarah and she seemed to realise the same thing.

Rafe killed him.

Sarah started panting and backed up, I couldn't take me eyes of Renfield, it wasn't a nice sight but I couldn't seem to look away, until I heard a sharp gasp come from Sarah.

"I really wish you didn't do that," Rafe grunted.

"Get off of me!" Sarah shouted.

I managed to get between the siblings so Rafe wouldn't hurt her.

"Get the fuck off her Rafe!" I shouted punching him square in the jaw causing him to fall back slightly.

"Bitch," Rafe muttered before hitting me back sending me to thee floor.

And that's when everything went dark.
