CHAPTER SIXTEEN: goodbye big john

That night, we all stayed at the chateau. I laid with JJ in John B's bed, Kie crashed on the pull out couch and Pope stayed on the couch on the porch.

The next morning we all got up and got dressed for the day, then worked on stuff for the gold.

"How's it feeling?" Pope asked.

Kie was up in the bucket that we were gonna use for the gold. "Feels good."

"Taking you down." he let her know.

"Okay."

JJ was sitting on the edge of the hot tub, his feet dangling in. I was sitting on the edge too, but the opposite direction. My feet were dangling over the ground. I rested my head on his shoulder.

"John B pullin' a Houdini." JJ chirped up.

"Yeah, where is he?" Pope asked. "I got my scholarship interview tomorrow. We gotta get this done!"

"Speak of the devil. Hey!" JJ said as John B stormed into the yard. I quickly hopped down.

"Dude, I set up the entire winch to pull up the gold and everything." JJ told the brunette who just showed up.

"No, he did not. I did that." Pope quickly corrected him.

"Hey!" Kie said as John B kept walking.

"John B?" i said.

"Hey." Pope called.

"Okay, that's it?" JJ said.

"Uh...what's that all about?" Pope looked at JJ.

"I was gonna ask you the same question." JJ said hopping down from the hot tub.

He walked up and grabbed my hand, interlocking our fingers. We all followed John B into the house.

"You all right, man? What... what's up?" Pope asked as John B rummaged through a bunch of stuff, seemed to be looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" Kie asked.

"Bro, what's going on?" JJ asked.

John B then found what he was looking for...the gun.

"John B, what do you need the gun for?" JJ let go of my hand and walked up to him.

"Just... No!" Kie said.

"Talk to us!" JJ yelled as John B threw him on the couch.

"John B, chill!" Kie said. "What are you doing?"

"What, are you JJ now?" Pope said. John threw Pope aside, landing on a table.

"Shi... Are you okay?" Kie asked Pope. He nodded and she walked outside to him.

"Are you okay Pope? JJ?" they both nodded to my question.

"John B, what the hell are you doing?" Kie yelled.

JJ fixed his hat and we all followed outside.

"John B, what the hell?" Kie continued to yell.

"Ward knows about the gold." John B revved up the engine to JJ's bike. "He killed my dad."

My heart instantly dropped.

What?

There's no way.

Ward...killed...Big John.

"John B!" Kie continued to yell.

John B then took off on the bike. I was frozen on my steps. The whole world felt like it was spinning. It felt like i couldn't breathe. I started hyperventilating. God damnit. Panic attack. I started getting them when my father died. I haven't had one in a while.
