Pope started the engine and they set off.
"So Cassandra Wyatt, why on Earth did you not come home last night? Was someone doing the dirty?"
"I went to a friends house," she looked around, John B had been joking, but now everyone was curious as to why she had gotten so defensive.
"Which friend?"
"J, drop it, it doesn't matter."
The boy frowned. "Yes it does, which friend."
Cassie panicked and chose the worst person to say possible, "Sarah."
Kie immediately got angry, and JJ looked sceptical but John B was the one to speak up.
"So you slept in her bedroom."
"Uh- yeah."
JJ grasped her hand as she started obsessively tapping and scratching her wrist.
"I call bullshit."
"John B that's enough."
"When I went to get the scuba gear, Sarah was sleeping on the boat."
JJ let go and looked at her.
"Can we just change the subject, please? I really don't wanna talk about it."
They all nodded, and started talking treasure.
After about half an hour more of driving, JJ decided to try and cheer Cassie up; she was miserable and it showed.
"Come on Cass, why don't you have a joint?"
"I don't need one."
The girl sighed and adjusted her sunglasses, accidentally flashing part of her swollen eye which led JJ to the assumption she was high.
"Are you kidding Cass? You would do that to me?"
She looked up at him in fear, and everyone started concentrating on her.
"You smoked without me. You're completely stoned aren't you?"
"Uh-"
"Gimme those," the boy laughed, and made a grab for her sunglasses causing her to jump back.
"JJ stop."
He tried to grab them again.
"Stop it-"
"JJ that's enough."
"Dude she said stop-"
JJ caught the glasses and snatched them away from her face. She moved her hands to cover herself impossibly quick, but he still saw the bruising.
"What the fuck, Cassie, what the actual fuck?"
"What is it JJ?"
The rest of the crew looked concerned.
JJ grabbed her jumper and pulled it away from her neck.
"Jesus Cass."
She looked up at him with fear in her eyes as he stared at her, looking disgusted.
The boy pulled her up into his arms and hugged her tightly, causing her to burst into tears.
"What is it Cassie?"
"JJ, what's going on?"
"Anyone wanna explain?"
John B tried to pull Cassie away from JJ but the boy shoved him away.
"Don't tell them, please JJ, please."
"Cass, don't make me lie to them."
"I don't wanna talk about it."
Kie went to hug Cassie as well, but caught sight of her neck.
"Oh my god," she spun Cassie around and saw the state of her face, "fucking hell."
"Holy crap."
John B and Pope took a look at her neck.
"Who did this to you?"
The girl didn't answer.
"WHO THE FUCK DID THIS TO YOU?"
Cassie backed away from the boy.
"John B, mate, calm down."
"Did you go home? Did they do this to you?"
The girl sat down and brought her head to her knees.
"JJ, you know they haven't hurt me in ages."
"Cass, speak to us, we can help you."
"No, no you can't. I made a mistake and now I have to deal with it-"
"Whose jumper is that?" JJ knew who it belonged to instantly.
Cassie fidgeted awkwardly under everyone's gaze .
"I dunno, probably one of you guys' maybe?"
"Cass, you got back with Rafe last night, didn't you?"
The girl didn't say anything.
"Fucks sake Cassie, last time he hurt you-"
"He would never hurt me on purpose, he said he loves me."
"He did that to you, didn't he?"
JJ clenched his jaw, and John B and Pope exchanged a knowing look. The girl struggles to say no to him.
"Do you love him?"
She hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Why did he hurt you, was he trying to make you do stuff?"
Kie gently put her arm around Cassie who was rocking backwards and forwards.
"I wasn't ready. I made a mistake. He was begging, you know?"
JJ looked sick, "what did you do?"
"Pope?"
"Yeah Cass?"
"How much is a pregnancy test?" It was a whisper but everyone heard.
"Fucking hell."
"Oh my god."
Cassie burst into tears again.
"I said no, but then he kept begging so I just left with him, but I realised I didn't want to and I told him and he- um- he..." she trailed of, "and he told me he loved me and then he put me down and we-" she shut her eyes and continued rocking.
Kie stood up.
"We need to go to the sheriffs office."
"What? No, Kie, he didn't mean to hurt me."
"Even if he didn't, he still raped you."
Cassie rapidly shook her head.
"I said yes, I gave consent. It's not rape, it was different. He loves me."
The girl couldn't breath.
"Cass, why don't we just talk to Peterkin, okay?"
"None of you are listening to me- he loves me and he wouldn't hurt me."
JJ had tears in his eyes, "this isn't love-"
"What would you know- you've shagged half the girls on this island. You're just pissed because you don't have anyone, Rafe loves me.
"Cassie, he's doing it to you again. Every time you're weak, he swoops in."
Her phone rang. It was Rafe.
"Stop the boat, he cant know I'm with you."
The engine came to a halt.
"Hello?"
John B mouthed put it on speaker, but she shook her head. JJ moved so his ear was next to the phone.
"Where are you baby?"
"I told you, I'm dress shopping-"
"Don't you fucking lie to me, I decided that I was gonna come with you, but you aren't at the shop. You're with those dirty pogues, aren't you?"
He was high as shit.
"I'm not-"
"Topper told me, he saw you."
JJ swore under his breath.
"Those pogue boys don't want to be your friend, they just want to get into your pants; to take what's mine. You know that right?"
"Mhm."
"I want you to tell them."
"What?"
Pope held Cassie's hand and squeezed, she was tapping her leg like there was no tomorrow.
"Tell them that I own you."
"Please don't make me say that."
"Don't fucking argue with me."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Say it."
"Rafe wants me to- he wants me to tell you that he owns me now."
"Good girl. When you get home, you come straight to me so I can deal with you, understand?"
"Yes."
"Just remember, I'm doing this cause I love you."
The line went dead and Cassie fell to the floor and broke down.
"Fucking hell."
"Jesus Christ."
"He's different this time. I'm so scared, I don't- I don't know what to do."
JJ held onto her until the boat stopped at the wreck.

I am sorry I just needed to get Rafe's true colours out there cause he's really fricking evil, Stan drew for clear skin tho
