Rafe Cameron went for another drive around figure eight. He left Barry's in a hurry and ever since then he couldn't find peace of mind. He was driving around the city secretly looking for Anastasia's car. He desperately wanted to talk to her. Ask about JJ. Because right now, the jealousy was eating him up.

Anastasia on the other hand, was sneaking around Tannyhill with JJ. They had to find John B, but either he's already gone or hid JJs motorcycle pretty damn well considering it was nowhere on this entire plot.

"We should go inside", JJ whispered into Anastasia's ear, his hand touching hers, ready to pull her into the bush behind them incase he'd hear anyone coming.

"We can't just break in", Anastasia answered, giving JJ a stern look. JJ knew he she was stressed but he had never seen her like this before. The calm and collected Anastasia, the girl who would've broken into anything for her friends was gone.

"You're scared", JJ realized.
"-No I'm not!".

JJ didn't believe her. The last hour they have been sneaking around Tannyhill, her hands were sweaty, her hair messy. The blonde looked at her for a few more seconds.
Anastasia was a mess right now. 
And somewhere deep down the Pogue knew it wasn't just John B stressing her.

"What is it, Ana?", his thumb and index finger touched her chin, tilting her head so she'd be forced to look at him,"What else is bothering you?".

'I'm scared as shit right now, that Rafe motherfucking Cameron will see the two of us. Just the idea of you and me together would make him snap. And you do not want Rafe Cameron to snap. Because he will not just yell at you or push you, Rafe would fucking kill you', Anastasia wanted to scream at the top of her lungs.

She had seen Rafe Cameron hurt someone else once before, she could still hear the guys cries, still see the bruises on his chest and the wound in his stomach; blood everywhere.

Anastasia didn't want time to repeat itself.

"We should leave, J", she whispered back, looking into his watercolor eyes,"John B isn't here. Neither would he kill Ward for that matter".

"You sure? I've never seen him angry like that", JJ answered. He was scared as shit for his best friend and needed to help him somehow.

"Yeah I'm very sure", Anastasia nodded.
John B didn't have the look of death in his eyes. Not the same look Rafe did. She was sure John B couldn't even look at someone like that.

JJ sighed, accepting it. "Okay we'll leave".

-

It was one of the few nights since the past weeks that Anastasia had slept in her own bed. Alone.
JJ wanted to stay at the Chateau in case John B would return. Popes interview was gonna be in the morning and after they'd all meet at the Chateau to hopefully get the rest of the gold out of the well.

But once Anastasia opened her eyes and woke up to a thousand missed calls from Kie and JJ, she already knew it was over. Still she skipped breakfast with her dad (even though he made waffles) and sped over to the Chateau.

Kiara was already there, sitting on the porch next to JJ. John B was resting his back against the pillar. They all heard Anastasia's car from far away.
"There she is", John B sighed hearing the engine approach,"Another friend I have to disappoint".

"Anastasia is not gonna be disappointed", Kiara tried to lift the mood and most importantly protect Ana,"She always had your back".

John Bs eyes met Kiara's and he smiled sadly:"Exactly the reason why she's gonna be disappointed".

Before anyone could answer, Anastasia had already wrapped her arms around John Bs shoulders, forcing into a hug. She whispered:"I'm not disappointed, you idiot. I'll always have your back".

"Ward wasn't at Tannyhill last night, instead he was digging up all of your gold", John B answered, muffling into Anastasia's hair.

"It doesn't matter", Anastasia pulled out of the hug and a weak smile appeared on her lips,"We still had a fucking blast this summer, right?".
JJ and Kiara started chuckling, which lead to a small smile curling up on John Bs lips.

-

Rafe Cameron woke up alone. Ever since he had spent this one night with Anastasia, he hasn't been with another girl - which was quite an achievement considering he hooked up with a different girl almost every night.

He never quite understood what these girls saw in him. Fun, pleasure and drugs. That's all he could offer them. Rafe wasn't made for love, he had never been loved.

He had been sure of one thing in his entire life: Rafe Cameron could never love nor be loved.
But all that changed the moment he first laid his eyes on Anastasia Hill.

She was the one thing always on his mind. There was nothing he could do without thinking about her. Even when he was with other girls; especially when he is with other girls he is always thinking about her. His Anastasia. Imagining the girls he's messing with are Anastasia.

Rafe Cameron had never felt that way. And he didn't know how to deal with all of these emotions. Last year Anastasia certainly didn't give him the time to learn how to deal with them. Instead she ran away the second Rafe let his emotions take over when he saw that guy with her. The man, who broke her heart, crawling back to his Anastasia.

And currently Rafe was ready to do it all again if Barry was right, if JJ had a thing for Anastasia. He'd choose her over everything. He'd do anything to keep her safe.
This man would even be ready to die for her. And even after his death, nothing would hold his body down. He'd always come back to his Anastasia, his love, his life.

Rafe Cameron couldn't imagine a moment where he wouldn't choose Anastasia.

But that moment would soon come.

-

"Guys!", Pope yelled. He stopped on the porch, resting his hands on his knees, panting,"Oh god. I ran all the way here".

"How was the interview, Pope?", JJ asked.
"- Don't ask".
"- Awesome".

Anastasia watched Pope apologize to John B, who just answers with a simple, "it's fine".
Whereas Anastasia was waiting for some crucial information on why Pope ran all the way here.

"Look we don't have a lot of time", he was still panting,"I have crucial information. So before I had my interview my dad told me he was going down to the private airstrip to cut down some Palm trees. And I'm sitting there in my interview, thinking to myself self: Why would Cameron need a longer airstrip to take off? What could be so heavy to weigh it down?".

"Gold", Anastasia and JJ answered simultaneously, smiling at each other.

"That's right".

"Exactly", Pope continued,"Guys this is our chance, but it leaves tonight and we have to go".

"We can't give up now", Kiara smiled and wrapped her arm around Anastasia's shoulder. Their heads bobbing together, Anastasia chuckled:"Nope we can't".

"What's the plan, big man?", JJ asked John B, a smirk on his lips as his gaze moved, looking at all of his friends.

"We're gonna steal that shit back!". John Bs face finally lit back up, he looked like someone just blew life back into his face.

"Let's do this", Pope laughed and pulled JJ back up on his feet.

"Come on boys!", Kiara and Anastasia chirped.

But before Ana could whip out her keys, John Bs hand rested in hers. He smiled:"For luck we're gonna take the Twinkie".

-

"Okay so we're gonna get in there, guns-a-blazin', make Ward beg for mercy, abscond with as much gold as possible and vamonos, get the hell out of there", JJ explained his plan.

Anastasia added laughing:"Down the intracostal". 

"Exit to Cuba", Kiara nodded, smiling at her friends.
"-Cuba?".

"No man", JJ disagreed,"Xcalak, Jewel of the Yucatán! Lobsters so thick, mangoes and no word of money".

John B stopped the engine, and smirked:"Let's do this shit".

The five friends got out Twinkie and stepped to the fence, watching Wards man load up the last box just as he arrives himself with-.
"-That's Sarah".

They all watch Sarah try to find out what's in these boxes, until Ward aggressively grabs her, shoves her and yelling at her to not cause a scene. This reminds Anastasia all too well of her and her mother.
"They're fighting", Anastasia says, swallowing hard.

"He's hurting her", John B is grinding his teeth. His eyes settle on Anastasia for a quick moment. He could tell how hard she's fighting with herself to not go down there and stop this madness. Anastasia almost looks like she's been through this before, through what Ward is doing to his daughter. Yelling at her, throwing her over his shoulder and forcing her into the plane.

But John B didn't want anyone else of his friends to get involved in this mess. This was about him and Sarah. About his dad and Ward.
So he just turned around and got into his car. Alone. Revving the engine, ready to go right through this fence.

"Huh? What's going on?", JJ asked confused. He lacked comprehending what just happened.

"Hey! What are you doing?", Pope yelled at John B in the Twinkie.

"John B", Kiara shouted,"Where are you going?!".

Anastasia already knew the answer and she would not let John B do this on his own. So she disappeared and jumped into the Twinkie through the side door before John B sped away. While their friends were yelling and shouting at John B to stop.

"Stop! John B!". Kiara cried.

"Don't be a hero dude!", JJ yelled and his fist hit the back of the Twinkie before John B crashed through the fence.

Pope just turned into all directions and sighed:"Please don't tell me Anastasia is in the back of that car".

"Oh fuck", Kiara let out another scream. She was worried for her best friends safety, because the Twinkie wasn't build for off roads and running through a fence. Anastasia would probably be thrown around in the back of that car. She could hit her head or break bones.

"Oh hell no", JJ yelled and started running, but Pope already grabbed him at his shoulders, pulling him back.

"Don't you dare think about going down there for them!", Pope said,"Think about your restitution. We're worth nothing if we're in jail".
He now looked at Kiara, knowing she was thinking about running after Anastasia just like JJ.
They agreed and decided to leave the airstrip. Better to stay clear.

Anastasia hit her side once really hard and the back of her head hit something that flew through the air while John B was speeding down an off road hill after breaking through a fence. But eventually she managed to grab a hold of something.
John B had not yet realized Anastasia jumped in last minute.

Not until she started laughing after she saw Wards plane next to the Twinkie. They were racing a fucking plane. Something about that she found extremely funny, or maybe it was just the hit her head took.
She watched John B switch gears and knew he learned from her.

Something about knowing Anastasia was with him in this car on this mission or whatever you wanna call it, gave John B surprisingly a lot of confidence.

Both were watching them drive faster than the plane with a smirk on their lips. They eventually overtook Ward and after Sarah yelled at her father for the hundreds time he finally hit the brakes. Just like Twinkies brakes squealed when they turned around and stood right in front of the plane.

John B jumped out of the driver seat, immediately running towards Sarah, who got out of the plane. Her father was pushing her.

Anastasia managed to lift her head up and looked outside the open door to see Sarah running into John Bs arms, sobbing. They both made sure each other were alright, while Ward just looked at them, trying to lunge for Sarah once again.

"Don't touch me!", she yelled, her voice clearly filled with tears. Anastasia desperately tried to get up and get out of this car, but she felt too weak after being thrown around in the back of that car.

A Siren wailed.
The three Pogues, who had been watching from behind the fence, finally decided to leave even though they had not yet seen Anastasia.

Just after JJ threw one last look over his shoulder, while running away, the brunette stumbled out of the Twinkie. Her sight still blurry, but she knew where she was once she grabbed Sarah's hand.

"You're also here?", Sarah whispered to her friend, who looked like she just got out of a fight.

"I'm always up for a good race, Sarah", Anastasia straightened her shoulders and her neck cracked loudly. Suddenly her pain eased and her sight wasn't blurred anymore. Sarah and John B smiled, looking at their friend.

The Police car came even closer and Sarah tried to make her friends leave, but John B neither Anastasia would go anywhere.

"Game over", Anastasia whispered when Officer Peterson got out of the car and her eyes were focused on Ward Cameron, not on her nor John B.

"Thank got you're here, Susan", Ward smiled, still looking at his daughter and what she called friends,"I told you John B has lost his goddamn mind".

"Put your hands on your head". Peterkins voice was deadly.

"I'd do what she said", Ward dared to say.

"She's talking to you, Ward", John B answered stern.

"You're under the arrest of Big John Routledge". Peterkin cuffed Ward Cameron without mercy. John B watched with a smile on his lips, while Sarah in his arms gasped and she looked like she was about to pass out. Anastasia clenched her hand around hers, showing support for her friend. Peterkin arrested Ward Cameron and John B and Sarah watched.

Anastasia took a look around, securing the area and suddenly she ripped herself away from Sarah and John B.

She ran forward as fast as she could, throwing herself at him.

At the boy with the ocean eyes.

Who carried a gun.
