Forty one

"John B! Don't be a hero man!" Pope whispers. John B puts his finger to his lips, signaling for us to be quiet. Once he starts to walk towards Barry's car, JJ shoots me a look filled with worry and fear, before looking back at the van where Barry had found JJ's bag.

"Shit" I mumbled. JJ put his finger to his lips, begging me to keep quiet. In that moment I couldn't tell if he was more concerned for my safety or his own.

Meanwhile, John B had made his way into the back seat of Barry's car. "Alright y'all just stay just like that unless you want your brains blown out all over this road, Don't move your goddamn heads ok?!" Barry screams at us with the gold in his hand.

JJ sits up a bit, looking over Pope's shoulder to watch Barry walk away. I try to do the same, but he presses my shoulder down telling me not to do so.

Just then, John B and Barry start to fight for the gun in the car. I jump up from the ground, and JJ follows closely behind me. "Guys! I got the gun!" John B yells.

JJ sprints to Barry who was now out of the car. He takes a punch at him, but Barry pushes him away. I try next, but Barry punches me in the gut before pushing me onto the ground. "Shit" I mumble when I see the large scrape on the back of my leg. JJ tries to beat the shit out of him but John B pulls him back

I get up again, and John B pushes Barry over with the back of the gun. "I got the gold!" Pope yells from the other side of the vehicle. Sarah starts to continuously hit Barry with the car door. We all kick him once before he finally gives up.

"I know this piece of shit!" JJ yells when he pulls down Barry's bandanna mask. "He probably knows my brother" Sarah mumbles. "Yep, he does" I reply. They all look at me but don't question it. "He sells coke to my dad" JJ says in a lower voice.

"Alright listen I could've hurt any one of-" Barry's cut off when JJ hits him with the gun. "JJ!" I yell. I place my hand on his shoulder, it's almost as if he's relaxed by my touch.

He takes Barry's wallet, pulling the license out before throwing the wallet back. He still had the same angry expression on his face, this was the side of my boyfriend that always scared me. "We got one last stop" JJ says, looking at the wallet and pushing John B away.

He then did something I thought he would never do. He grabbed me by the wrist, tightly, before pulling me back to the van. "JJ what the hell is wrong with you?!" I ask him trying to pull away. As expected, there was no reply.

"Hey!" John B yells. "Let's go see where this son of a bitch lives" JJ says. He pulls me into the van and let's go. I look at my wrist and to my surprise, there's no red mark. I know JJ would never purposely try to hurt me, this wasn't him. It was his anger taking over him entirely.

I decide to brush off what just happened and go on with the day. JJ signals for me to take my usual seat right next to him. "I'm all good" I say from the opposite side of the van. I don't even look to see his reaction.

The ride over is silent. JJ was driving, and I was sitting in the back. I sat there almost the entire time looking out the window, watching as we drove past hundreds of trees. I could feel JJ glancing at me every few seconds, wondering why I wasn't sitting with him. I didn't care though, we needed space.

"Dude why are we at Barry's?" Pope asks. JJ doesn't answer, he just hops out of the van. John B gets out to follow him, I stop him. "I got this" I say, opening the back door of the van. I follow JJ through the familiar door front door.

I walk in to find JJ filing through the kitchen cabinets. "I know you got a stash around here somewhere" he mumbles. "JJ what are you doing? Like seriously?" I ask. "An eye for an eye Liz" he replies, walking past me. I step in front of him.

"What happens after you rob a drug dealer? He knows who you are, you'll go to Jail" I say, looking him in the eye. "Liz I'll be fine, I'm not scared of this guy" he says, kissing my cheek before walking into the back bedroom.

"JJ stop, this is an awful idea" I state, following him. "There we go" JJ says, pulling a small duffle bag from the closet and dumping it on the bed. Of course, it was filled with money. "JJ stop it right now, you can't come back from this shit" I say, tears building in my eyes as he begins to stuff money into a bag.

"Alright, took care of business" he grabs the bag and pulls me behind him. We walk out to see the rest of the group already out of the van. "Alright so we're looking at about five grand each for him putting us through that bullshit, sorry about that y'all" JJ tells the group. I pull my hand away from him, which causes him to snap his head back at me.

"So that's what we're doing now? Robbing drug dealers?" Kie asks. He looks back at her. "How'd you guys like having a gun pulled on ya?" JJ asks. "JJ stop" John B gets closer to him. "He had it right here on you bro" JJ points in his face.

"Look, we've gotta go get the gold ok?" John B says. JJ looks back at us for a quick second. "Just give me that shit we're putting it back" John B says, attempting to grab the bag. In the process, JJ slams him up against the van.
