"What? Guys, no" John B looks at both of us. "I just saw a fricken cobra come out of that hole I'm not letting my girlfriend go in there" JJ says to the group. I nudge him with my elbow. They all shoot us the 'I'm sorry, what?' Look.

"Look, this is about you're dad and honestly, I don't believe in it but you deserve to know the truth" Kie tells John B, moving on from JJ's comment. "We can do it" She says. John B and Pope start to pull the vines from the tomb.

"I'm gonna boost you" JJ says to both of us as he leans up against the wall, interlocking his fingers so I could step onto them. "Seen it in the movies several times" he adds. I grin.

"Remind me what we're looking for?" Kie asks. "You'll know when you see it" John B pauses before he says it.

"Hold my flashlight" I say as I hand it to John B. "Put your hands right there, Alright, and then I'll boost you on three" JJ says, but before he can even start to count I pull myself into the hole. "Ok, nevermind" JJ mumbles.

I was soon followed by Kie. "Flashlight?" I ask. John B shoved it through the hole. Me and Kie both look around amazed as a slowly shine it around the room.

"Liz, you Alright? Are you alive? Do I need to come in there?" JJ bombards me with questions. "J, I'm fine" I reply. "Could we get some more light in here?" Kie asks. My brother shoves his lamp through the hole.

I noticed an envelope shoved into the wall. I pulled it out to see the words FedEx and For Bird written on the front of it. "Anything?" John B asks. "Holy shit" was all I replied with.

Kie then takes it from my hands and shoves it through the hole. John B grabs it. "That'ssss not gold" Pope says in disappointment.

Me and Kie climb back through the hole, but JJ grabs me by the waist when I'm halfway through making sure I don't fall.

"Holy shit" my brother says the same words I did. Twin telepathy I guess? "This is from my dad" He then tells the group, except me who already knew.

Me and JJ look into headlights as he takes a hit. "Code red... code red!" We both say turning around. "Square groupers! Square groupers!" He takes my hand.

We all ran to the other side of the tomb where they wouldn't be able to see us. "Lights! Guys, turn off your lights!" Kie says. Me and JJ turn to each other to turn off our flashlights.

JJ turns the tomb to put out the blunt he had been smoking. I held back a laugh. "Shush!" Pope shushes me. "John B, turn off your light!" Kie says to my brother who still had his lamp on.

A side by side soon pulls up to the edge of the cemetery. JJ peeks his head around the corner. "Is it them?" I ask. "Oh he's got a gun" JJ says.

"Screw this!" I say before running. Kie follows close behind me, followed by John B, Pope, then JJ. JJ soon catches up to me and lifts me up onto the fence. I jump down the other side.

As Pope was climbing over the gate, his shorts got caught on the top of it. "Oh shit!" I say with a laugh. "Lizzie shut up! Guys I'm stuck!" He says. His pants slowly start to rip.

"Alright Pope hold still!" JJ says, pulling out his gun. "Damn J!" I say grinning. John B pushes the gun down before he can shoot! "Come one JB, why you gotta be such a buzzkill?" I ask running back towards the van.

Kie pulls on Pope and his shorts rip all the way, leaving him in just his underwear. "It's a little tootsie roll!" JJ says. I roll on the floor of the van laughing before the pogues pile in.

JJ then pulls me onto his lap as John B starts to drive off. Kie was grinning in the front as Pope attempted to cover himself.

We soon arrived back at the chateau, and JJ attempted making a peanut butter sandwich. "That bread had mold on it three days ago" Pope tells him, walking over towards John B and Kie.

"Yeah well I'll just pull off the bad parts. Plus, mold's good for you it's a like a natural organism" JJ replies. I smile as I get a glass of cold water.

"Guys" Kie says to us. Me and JJ rush into the room where John B was sitting, surrounded by us. I took a sip of my water but quickly spit it out in laughter when JJ took a bite of his sandwich then spit it back into his hand.

John B started to rip the seal from the envelope. My brother then pulled a map from the inside, flattening it out for the rest of us to see.

"Holy shit" we both say. "X marks the spot" Pope says, pointing to the big X on the map. John B then went on to pull out a tape recorder. I knew exactly where this was going.

"What's that?" JJ asks me. "It's a tape recorder, dumbass" Kie replies. "Kie, was I asking you?" He comments. She didn't have time to reply before my brother hit play.

"Dear Bird-" the tape starts to play, but JJ interrupts. "Who's Bird?" He asks. "JJ, you've been over here how many times and heard my father call John B bird?" I ask back. "Oh yeah right" he nods.

"I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. You doubted your old man" My father continues. I was sorta upset my dad didn't leave me a message, but my face fell blank when he said my name.

"And Elizabeth, I know you're probably somewhere listening to this too. I just wanted to let you know that I care about you so much. I know I might not always seem like it, but I love you" It continued.

I stormed outside the door, making my way to the hammock. I couldn't listen anymore. I couldn't hide my feelings. I missed my dad, and he was never coming home again.

JJ quickly followed behind me. He stood above me for a few seconds before climbing onto the hammock and pulling me into a tight hug. I cried into his chest.

"I miss him J, I fucking miss him. I've been trying to hold it in but I just can't anymore. I miss my dad" I say. He rubs the back of my head. "I know baby, I know" he whispers.

It was moments like this that made me fall in love with JJ. He was there for every one of my breaking his points and I was there for every one of his. We were just two broken kids who somehow found love through it all.
