FOR HIS FAMILY

Pope, Callie and Kie drove to the chateau, wondering where was JJ at, and Cal texted Rafe that she was sorry she had to leave but she'd be back on the next day.

They parked and got out of the car but something seemed wrong. "What the-"

They approached and noticed a Jacuzzi, with coloured led lights all around the chateau's garden.

They saw JJ sitting comfortably in it, wearing sunglasses, relaxing. "JJ what did you do?"

JJ looked at them over his sunglasses and smiled at him. "I have a bed going straight in my butt right now"

He grabbed a champaign bottle and poured some in a glass. "Y'all should immediately get in. Salute"

"How much did it cost?" Pope asked.

"Well, with the generator, the petrol, and the- oh yeah with the express delivery pretty much all of it"

"All of it? JJ are you serious?" Callie asked, disappointed. They had found a way to pay for her restitution and that's how it ended up?

He knew she wasn't a reall Kook anymore, he knew since James was gone, Cooper and her weren't as rich as they used to be anymore.

"Yeah all of it"

"You spent all of it in one day?" Kie asked.

"Yeah, it burned a hole through my pockets, but I mean, come on look at this! Finest in jet based massage therapy, that's what they told me. I mean, can't a man have a little luxury in his life?" he asked, looking at them, throwing his sunglasses away.

"I mean, like guys, we only live once right? Enough of this emotional shit get in the cat's ass, come on"

"The what?" Kie asked.

"The cat's ass, that's what I named her"

"JJ I'm not even gonna try to understand," Callie rolled eyes as she spoke.

"Come on Cal, I bought it for you too baby, I knew you'd like it. But look, I know what you'll like even more," He clicked a button and lights changed of colours. "Disco mode" he smirked, proud of it.

"JJ.."

"You kidding me? you could've paid for her restitution with it!" Pope argued.

"Or literally given it to any charity!"

"Or you could've-" Pope was about to talk but JJ got up so he stopped. They all looked at his bruised body, and pictured him getting hit by Luke.

"Ok well you know what? I didn't do that! I got a hot tub! I got a hot tub for my friends!" He shouted, looking at all of them. "Yeah I got a hot tub for my friends"

"Jay.." Callie mumbled, a tear falling down her cheek.

"No, you know what? screw friends, I got a hot tub for my family!"

They all stayed silent, but Callie sobbed a little as he looked at all of them. "No stop being emotional it's fine! I mean, it's sweet right.."

Callie frowned eyebrows and got in the hot tub, before pulling him in for a warm hug. He rested his head against her and she rubbed his back for comfort. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, tears falling down his cheeks.

"I'm sorry Jay, I'm so sorry," she sobbed holding him.

"I couldn't take him anymore, I was gonna kill him," he said, crying and she hugged him tighter.

"I know, I know"

Everyone joined them, wrapped arms around each other in a somewhat of group hug and they stayed here, the four of them.

They comforted JJ for as long as he needed until he stopped crying and pulled away from them.

Pope and Kiara left to get in the chateau, so Callie sat on the edge of the jacuzzi, smoking a blunt as JJ grabbed a towel, wrapped it around him and sat next to her.

They stayed silent for a few seconds, focusing on the situation. She didn't know how to make him feel better or clean the air so she just smirked and looked at him.

"You were kinda right though, I love disco mode," she laughed as she said it, placing an hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah, I knew you would," he answered smiling a bit as he took the blunt from in between her lips and inhaled it deeply.

"What happened with Luke?" she asked but he kept looking down, not daring to look at her in her eyes.

"Usual shit," he said before finally looking at her. "I came back home with the money, the money I had stolen for your restitution, but he took it. So I kinda.. argued with him but you know what type of arguments the Maybanks are made for"

She sighed and nodded, sorry he had been through this because of her.

"I'm sorry Jay, you deserve so much better than him"

He smiled and got up from the edge of the jacuzzi, walking to the chateau. "Are you staying over for the night?" he asked her.

"Yeah, are Pope and Kie staying over too?"

"I don't know," he just replied and got in the house, followed by Callie.

"Where's John B by the way?"

"He had to go fishing with Ward early tomorrow so he stayed at the Cameron's"

Callie nodded and crashed on John B's bed next to Kie's asleep body, as JJ walked to the bathroom.

She fell asleep rapidly, so JJ had no other choice than sleep with Pope in the sofa when he discovered both of the girls sleeping deeply.
