Me- yeah we got this.

Pope- cool.

We both hopped out of the truck

A confused look came over both of our faces as the whole yard lit up with lights everywhere

Pope- what the hell?

Me- who the hell is that?

We both walked around the yard and came to a quick stop when we seen JJ sitting in a hot tub

Pope- what did you do JJ?

Pope- how much did this coast?

Jj- uh... we'll with the generator, the petrol , and oh hey express delivery... pretty much all of it yeah.

Pope- all of it?

JJ- yeah all of it.

Pope- you spent all the money in one day?

JJ- yeah burned a whole 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. Tess what? Can't a man have a little luxury in life? Come on all this scrimpin and scrapin.. I mean like.. guys we- you only live once right? Enough of this Emotional shit. Her in the cats ass come on.

JJ- In the cats ass. That's what I named her. Oh hey yo I almost forgot.

He turned on more jets and a disco ball

JJ- huh? Yeah that's right I know disco mode. That's right baby.

Pope- are you kidding me? You could have paid for restitution!

Me- or literally given it to any charity!

Pope- or better yet helped us buy supplies to get the rest of the gold out of the well!

JJ- okay well you know what? I didn't do that!

I felt my stomach drop as he stood up revealing his bruised up ribs

JJ- I got a hot tub! For my friends. I got a hot tub for my friends. You know what? No. You know what? Screw friends. I got a hot tub for my family!

Me- what the hell?

JJ- I got this for you. Guys look what I did for you! Alright? Look at this! Look at this!

Me- JJ..

Jj- no stop being emotional it's fine okay? I mean it's sweet right? Everything- just get in!

I climbed up into the hot tub wrapping my arms around him as we cried into each others shoulders

Jj- I just couldn't do it. I can't take him anymore! I was gonna kill him.

Pope came up wrapping his arms around both of us

Jj- I just wanna do the right thing.

Me- I know. I know baby. It's okay.

———

I sat next to JJ putting my legs in the hot tub like him

Me- you okay?

JJ- yeah I mean I'm good

I looked down at the water for a minute thinking over my decision

Me- I don't want you going home you can crash at my place

JJ- thanks

I turned to him and kissed him when I pulled away I laid my forehead on his

Me- I Love you.

JJ- I love you too.

I smiled and kissed him again

Pope- I got my scholarship interview tomorrow morning we gotta get this done!

JJ- speak of the devil hey!

John b just walked to the house without speaking

Me- hey?

JJ- okay that's it?

Pope- uhh.. what's that all about?

JJ- I was gonna ask the same question.

We walked in the house seeing John b searching for something

Pope- you alright man?

Me- what's up?

Kie- what are you looking for?

JJ- bro what's going on?

He lifted up a couch cousin and pulled out jj's gun

JJ- John b you hat do you need the gun for?

Kie- no just no

JJ- talk to us!

John b grabbed JJ and threw him on the couch

Me- John b chill! What are you doing !?

Pope- what are you JJ now?

He grabbed pope and threw him to put I caught him

Me- shit are you okay?

Kie- John b what the hell are you doing?

We all ran out of the house after him I watched as he jumped on jj's bike starting it up

Me- John b what the hell!?

John b- ward knows about the gold!

He turned around

John b- he killed my dad.

We all stoped in our tracks in shock as we watched him drive off
