Background: You have been best friends with Sarah for most of your life, despite being a Pogue. So when she doesn't come back from going to see Wheezie you get worried and go after her. JJ tells you that it is a bad idea and tries to stop you, but you go anyway. This takes place during Season two Episode six.
Y/n POV:
Sarah left a few hours ago to go and talk to her sister, she promised that she would come right back. I am starting to get worried about her, I mean Ward and Rafe are capable of god knows what. I can't just sit here anymore, I have to do something.
I sat up in bed, pushing JJ's arms off of my waist carefully not to wake him. I knew that if he knew I was going to look for Sarah that he would try to stop me, but I needed to go. I quietly grabbed my shorts and one of his shirts off the floor and opened the bedroom door. I thought that the creaking from the door was going to wake him, but he just flipped onto his back, still fast asleep. God even sleeping, he looked so beautiful.
I made my way to the pouch where my shoes were and slipped on my clothes and shoes. Kie and Pope were both dead asleep on the pullout inside, so I wasn't worried about waking them. I grabbed my phone off the charger on the table and quickly sent a text to JJ for when he woke up.
I thought I was in the clear when I walked down the stairs of the chateau. I made it about ten steps before I heard the screen door open. Shit, someone caught me. I just hoped that it wasn't JJ. I slowly turned around to see no one other than my blue eyed boyfriend rubbing his eyes at the light coming from the sunrise.
"Y/n?" he questioned, his voice was still thick due to the fact that he just woke up. "Where are you going?"
Clearly the boy hadn't had time to check the message I sent him. This was not going to end well.
"I... ummm" I hesitated before I said anything, knowing exactly where this was going to lead.
"I am going to look for Sarah" I said as I exhaled a breath I had been keeping in. That clearly caught his attention, because JJ's posture changed completely. He stood up and his eyes went wide.
"What do you mean go look for Sarah? She said that she would be back in the morning." He questioned, making his way down the stairs and over to me.
"I know ,but JJ what if Rafe or Ward got to her. I mean it is plausible. We both know what they are capable of" I began to ramble, but he still was having a hard time understanding.
"Babe, she's fine okay, not just come back inside and we can wait for her okay?" He said as he grabbed onto my arm leading me back into the house.
I know that he just wanted me to be safe, but I needed to do this. No, I was going to do this, whether he wanted me to or not. I pulled my arm out of his grip, which caused him to turn around with a puzzled look.
"No JJ, I am going to look for her." I said as I turned around again.
"Y/n get back here."
I just kept walking, I could feel him following behind me.
"Y/n, I'm serious come back here"
JJ reached for my arm once more and I swiftly turned around facing him, knowing that he wasn't going to stop.
"No JJ. I am going and you are not going to stop me" I said with a stern look on my face. I tried to meet JJ's gaze, but I knew if I did I would melt.
"Y/n you said it yourself Ward and Rafe are still out there and they are dangerous" He put his hands on my shoulders stopping me from moving, desperately trying to get me to look at him. I made sure that my eyes stayed glued to the ground. "Baby if you go out there you are going to get hurt. Sarah is a big girl, she can take care of herself"
I know that JJ was just trying to get me to stay but his words hit a nerve. Sarah could take care of herself, but I couldn't. The girl had grown up in a bubble, while I had to fight for everything I got. If anyone could handle themselves it was me. The fact that my boyfriend was the one to imply I couldn't made things even worse.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I said in a very loud voice.
JJ just looked at me, he didn't mean for it to come out like that.
"So that's what you think? That I can't take care of myself. That the minute I step onto figure eight that I am going to get myself hurt. Because last time I checked JJ I was the one you had to save your ass from Rafe a few times in the past week." At this point I was yelling at him.
"What no y/n. That's not what I was saying, I just.." Before he could finish I cut him off, not wanting to hear any more of what he had to say.
"Whatever JJ" I said as I walked away from him. This time he didn't move, he knew that he had messed up and coming after me was going to make things much worse.

Y/n POV:
God why did he have to be right. Here I was stuck on the druthers with Ward. I went looking for Sarah and ended up hearing Ward's escape plan. He found me and realized that his only choice now was to get rid of me.
He had me tied to a pole on the side of the boat. I was facing the house so I could see the cops starting to arrive. I thought for a second that I was saved, but I quickly realized that they were not going to get here in time.
I started to think about everything that had happened in the last couple of days. Was Sarah okay? Would John B get out of jail? What about Kie and Pope, will they finally figure things out?
And JJ. What would happen to him if I wasn't there. What did he think, I mean the last time we were together it didn't end great. All I wanted to do was be in his arms. I would tell him that he was right and he would give that signature smirk of his. I was never going to see that look again, we weren't going to get our happy ending. God why did I have to be so stubborn.
I could hear Ward messing around in the cabin, but I was trying to focus on the water below me. It always calmed me down. However, shouting on the horizon caught my attention. I looked up toward the house to see a group of people running down the dock. Once they came into view I could see that it was my friends, including John B. At least he was free. I could see them scanning the boat for evidence of what was going on. That's when they caught my eyes.
"Y/N" I heard them all proceed to yell. I could see the fear in their eyes. I focused my gaze on JJ. He looked broken, like everything that was happening was his fault. I tried to yell back to them but quickly remembered that Ward had tied a gag around my mouth, so I couldn't talk.
I could feel the tears streaming down my face, I just wanted to be on that dock with the rest of them. I knew what was going to happen. Ward was going to blow the boat, me along with it. He though was planning on using the scuba to make his escape.
It was now or never, while Sarah and Shoupe were pleading with Ward to let me go and come back to the dock. I was desperately trying to get out of the ropes that tied my hands together. All I could hear was a mix of screams. I was too focused on trying to free myself. I remembered everything that JJ had taught me. I was messing with the knots and trying to slam my hands into the pole to break the hold.
I was so close when Ward retreated back into the boat. It was time.
I made one final move, the ropes loosened from behind me and I quickly ripped them off my wrists. I looked around for an escape and knew my only chance was to jump. I climbed up the rail, and as I jumped I felt the heat from behind me. The last thing I heard was JJ's voice yelling my name.
JJ POV:
Y/n was trying to get free from the boat and all I could think about was that this was my fault. She should have never been up there in the first place. I could have gone with her or tried harder to stop her.
I watched as if it was happening in slow motion. She broke free and made her way over the rails jumping just as the boat blew. I screamed her name, hoping that she heard. I watched her fly into the water from the impact of the explosion.
Before thinking I dove into the water. I was not going to let anything happen to her. I heard yelling as I swam to her body that was quickly sinking into the water. I could feel someone behind me. John B must have followed me in.
The closer I got the faster I moved. I grabbed onto her waist and pulled her up to the surface. Her face was bloody and I could only imagine what was going on in her body.
John B helped me bring her back to the dock. Sarah was on the ground sobbing, Kie was holding onto her for support. Shoupe and Pope helped us get y/n back onto the dock. I could hear the paramedics coming down the dock, but I didn't have time because she wasn't breathing. I climbed up and started doing CPR. I could feel the tears running down my face as I pressed into her chest.
I was desperate for her to wake up. She needed to be okay. She is my entire world. Without her who knows where I would be.
Soon enough I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and pull me away from her so the paramedics could work. I moved back and fell right next to her. I held her hand in mind, I kept whispering to myself "wake up baby, you have to wake up"
After what felt like forever, the paramedics stopped what they were doing. I looked at them in shock.
"No don't stop" I yelled "You have to keep going"
"I'm sorry but she's gone," one of them said. I could't except that. I shoved them out of the way and kept going myself. I could hear my friends telling me that it was enough, but I wasn't giving up.
I pressed on her chest with everything I had, just as I was about to blow two breaths into her mouth I whispered to her "I love you" I pressed my lips against hers breathing into her mouth with everything I had.
All of a sudden y/n jolted up. Coughing up all the water that had been sitting in her lungs. Her head fell into my lap.
She was okay. I relaxed a bit, grabbing her and pulling her into my chest.
"You are okay baby, you're okay. I got you" I said to her and she tried to catch her breath. I could hear our friends praise from behind us.
"Holy shit" "Thank god" "She's okay"
Then I heard one of the paramedics, in shock, say "How, she.. She was dead. She didn't have a pulse."
Y/n had finally caught her breath and started to sit up by herself. She put her head on my shoulder and I pulled her even closer.
"You scared me baby. I thought I lost you" I said starting to let tears roll down my face once more.
"Never" she said with a small smile on her face. I leaned my lips down and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
I held her for a few more minutes before the paramedics placed her on the stretcher. I let go of her hand as they took her up to the ambulance.
I stood up only for my friends to all pull me into a hug. We stayed like that for a few, before I pulled away to follow after my girlfriend.
I sat in the ambulance and just stared at her. God she was so beautiful, I was so lucky she came back to me. And I wasn't going to let anything happen to her, never again.
