*chapter twenty two: will be ever learn?*

"Gotta be done before my scholarship interview in the morning" Pope said when the three arrived at The Chateau

"If you don't get that scholarship no one will Pope" Blake chuckled

Blake had met with Pope and Kie later that day, that was better than staying alone crazy worried about Jj and the fact that he was not speaking to her.

She was dumb, an idiot. He said he loves her a d she didn't say anything back, nothing, not a single word.

He probably hates her now.

"Okay, well, we gotta focus" Kie got out of the car

"I know. It's gonna be fine" Pope got out of the car too "We got John B and JJ inside the well, and me up top. You two and Sarah will be outside transporting" Pope told them

"Yeah, we got this" Kie nodded

Blake waited at the front of the car for Kie and Pope. She noticed something going on between them and it was probably good if she left them alone for a bit.

Suddenly, some lights turned on and there was a faint sound of water coming from the backyard.

"What the hell?" Pope exclaimed and soon as Blake joined him and Kie

"Who the hell is that?" Kie asked too

"I don't know, but the lights are a vibe" Blake commented making both Kie and Pope to scoff

Walking into the backyard of The Chateau they could see even more colorful lights and a big jacuzzi in the middle. Cork from a bottle popped and Blake could now recognise it was JJ inside the jacuzzi.

"What did you do, JJ?" Pope asked him when the three pogues finally faved him

"I got a jet going straight in my butt right now" the blonde said making Blake chuckle

"Don't laugh" Kie cut her off quickly

"Y'all should get in immediately, you hear me? Salud!" JJ took a sip from the bottle

"How much did this cost?" Pope asked him

Now not Pope, Kie or Blake were laughing. JJ was clearly drunk and after the conversation he had had with Blake earlier, she knew something was happening to him.

"Uh...Well, with the generator, the petrol, and oh, hey, express delivery pretty much all of it, yeah" JJ admitted

"All of it?" Pope asked him

Of course Jj had spent all the money instead of paying whoever he owed money to.

"Yeah, all of it" he nodded

"JJ, what the hell?" Blake exclaimed "You spent all the money in one day?" she asked him

"Yeah, burned a hole right through my pocket. But, I mean, like, come on, guys, like, look at this! Finest in jet-based massage therapy, that's what they told me" the blonde explained wasted

"Blake, what? Can't a man have a little luxury in life?
Come on, all this scrimpin' and scrapin' I mean, like guys, you only live once, right?" JJ exclaimed when he saw the girl's face
