《(Discontinued) Outer Banks | JJ x reader》Part 21

There was a shocked look on all of our faces. Then JB started smiling as he looked over us.
None of us moved or talked for a second. Then we all yelled, "Get in!". Kie and I got in with Sarah and JJ and Pope pushed behind and JB started peddling. "You guys are so heavy." John B muttered as he pedaled, making my smile grow more.
Everyone yelled as the man ran out behind us. Then Pope fell, JJ jumped on the side, and Kie pulled Pope back up on the side.
The man grabbed the back of the bike but I punched him and he fell down. "See you later, asshole!" Pope yelled at him as we all whooped and screamed.
Apparently Sarah and JB had a boat so we went there. Everyone hoped off the bike and started going to the boat, but I pulled John B into a hug before we could go.
We stayed like that for a second. It was overwhelming almost. He was actually back. After I thought he was dead, after rediscovering that he wasn't, trying to find him, all of it. He was back. My twin bother was back home.
"I think you're breaking my rib." JB told me, laughing. I laughed and let go of him. I think there were a little bit of tears in my eyes but he didn't say anything. "Come on." He smiled, pulling me down to the boat where everyone was getting ready, JJ and Pope already ready to push it out.
We literally just caught up on everything that's happened, laughing the whole way back to OBX.
Everyone went to sleep and JB and I stayed up, me sitting while he was driving standing up and I was beside him.
"Sarah and I got married." John B told me. "What?!" I practically yelled, calming myself so I didn't wake up the others. I wasn't mad about it obviously, just surprised.

"Yeah." John B laughed. "Not officially but yeah." "Uh- congrats? I'm not sure what to say." I laughed also. "Got a new sister in law I guess." I said. We both just smiled.
"So you and JJ broke up?" John B said out of nowhere. "What?" I asked, it catching me off guard.
"You still look at each other the same but you don't act it." JB replied. I didn't say anything and John B knew we did.
John B sat down beside me, still watching the water dont worry. "What happened?" He asked me. "Uh..." I looked down at my feet. "It was my fault." I told JB. "When you left, I had a hard time. Um it got really bad. One night there was a party. I got crossed and slept with someone else."
It hurt more saying it out loud. Knowing it was my fault. I hurt my boy.
I didn't plan on telling him it was Rafe yet, not even Kie or Pope knew that yet I don't think.
My eyes were teary but nothing fell. John B put his arm around me. "I'm sorry." Was all he said. That was enough.
~~~
I didn't sleep much that night. But I didn't need sleep right now.
"Anybody else starving? We need to grab some breakfast." JJ said after everyone woke up. We docked on a random dock and all got out.
"We're gonna find some food." Sarah told the boys as we walked off. "Ugh." Kie grunted as she lifted up a watermelon. "Jackpot!" She said.
We split one open and sat down on a bench, all 3 eating it. "Okay so you really got married?" Kie asked Sarah as we talked.
"It wasn't exactly legal, but..." Sarah smiled. "Yeah." She finished. Kie and I smiled at each other and looked at Sarah.

"So am I crazy or is there definitely something going on between you and Pope?" Sarah asked Kie. "Maybe." Kie shrugged.
"That's not a no." I said as Sarah laughed a bit. "It's not a no." Kie nodded. "Girl." Sarah said, making us all laugh.
"So what's goin on between you and JJ. Spill." Sarah told me. "Nothing," I replied, eating a piece of watermelon, "That's my problem."
"Long story." I added before Sarah asked what happened. "Another day." She said. I just smiled at her and nodded.
Sarah was always nice like that. She doesn't push. She understands when you want to stay quiet about something.
We decided to go back to the boat after we finished the watermelon, each of us bringing
one back.
"Hi." Sarah said as we walked up, interrupting the boys talking about something. "What y'all talking about?" I asked them with a smile. "Uh... fishing." John B lied badly. "Dropin lures." JJ added.
Us 3 looked at each other, knowing they were lying. "Okay." Sarah replied.
"Need help?" Pope asked Sarah. Kie and I were already getting in the boat. "Yeah. Thanks." Sarah replied as Pope took the watermelon, not expecting the weight.
JJ held out a hand and I took it not even thinking, him helping me into the boat even though I didn't need it.
"Got breakfast." Kie told them.
~~~
We went back to the Château after eating, like before laughing and talking the whole time.
"There she is." JB said as we pulled up. "Good to see her old bones." I added. "Welcome home, guys." JJ told Sarah and JB.
We decked and got out. "You know I gotta be honest, not exactly looking forward to a check-in at home." Kie said as we went up the dock. I sat on the wall. "My parents probably already arranged my funeral." She added.
"I also predict unpleasantries at the Heyward house. After I left the truck at Charleston." Pope replied. I laughed at how smart he made it sound.
They all looked at me just because I laughed but then I got an idea.
"No one knows we're here, right?" I said. "And you two aren't going to get into any more trouble for showing up 12 hours later." I told Kie and Pope.
"Am I right or am I right?" I asked. "You're not wrong." Pope replied, shuffling his feet as he anticipated where I was going with this.
"So that means we have 12 hours to do whatever we want." I told them all. "Huh? A little Pogue fellowship." I added. "Let shit hit the fan tomorrow." John B agreed, smiling at me.
"The cops could be looking for us. It could be really stupid." Sarah replied. "Sarah Cameron." I said, jumping off the wall and walking up to her. "You've heard of our philosophy, right?" I asked her. It was me and JJs but I wasn't gonna point him out directly.
"No." She replied, laughing a little. "Stupid things have good outcomes all the time." I told her. The rest of the Pogues were mouthing it.
"Let's get some beer." I yelled, walking up to the Chât.

Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
