Sarah gets a call from Topper saying their after her dad and starts freaking out. I walk down the step and go bet to her.

K: it's gonna be okay Sar,

S: can we go? I need to be there for Wheezie

K: yeah, I'll get the guys.

We all gather up in the Twinkie and drive to the Cameron's. This is why John b has wanted for months now and here he is finally getting it.
We finally arrive at the Cameron's and get out the van, we hide behind the stone wall waiting for him to be arrested but nothing happens. I notice the police running up the dock to Wards boat.

Jb: screw this I'm going in.

He hops the fence and we all follow, running up the pier behind the police.

W: you deserve it! You caught my ass fair and square. Cause I did it, I did all of it. I'm trying to protect my family uno. Look at us now.

S: dad. Dad!

We run to the top of the pier and see ward standing on his boat.

W: Sarah. What are you doing here Sarah?

S: Dad. What are you doing?

We walked past the police with our hands up.

W: Vic, you gotta get her out of here! She can't be here right now!

Sh: just come in in and you...you... can talk to her!

W: Sarah I'm so sorry baby. I can't!

He switched on the engine and came back out.

S: wait what are you doing? No no no no!

He pulled up the anchor.

Sh: Ward this isn't gonna end the way you want it to! You don't need her seeing this.

Sirens become louder and louder as more police boats come in.

S: no dad don't leave! Where are you going?

W: I love you!

Sh: hey damn it Ward!

S: dad no!

Sh: turn it around and get back here.

S: please don't leave!

We stood silently and we had no idea what to say or do.

You could here a pin drop. Until the silence was over. The boat went up in flames. Shaking the whole pier, JJ pulled me down as everyone crouched covering their heads.

And there it was, the silence again. No one dare say a word. Wards boat had just blown up with him on it. All I could hear was my own breath thing and a slight bit of JJ's and his chest was against my back. We slowly all stood up but Sarah stood still, tears fell down her face all I wanted to do was hug her.

S: No. no.

Sarah broke down as John b stood and stared at the evil murderer who killed his father and tried to kill most of his friends, go up with the boat. In flames. The rest of us stood still in total shock of what had just happened infront of us.

The only noise being someone running up the pier. topper runs over and hugs Sarah as she falls to her knees.

S: dad. Dad!

She cried and screamed but no one could do nor say anything to make it better.

S: no. No! Dad!

Tears slipped down my face as the black cloud filled the sky. Her own dad gone, no more family. And here I was sobbing over my parents kicking me out. I stood motionless not knowing what to do until I felt a hand touch my own, his hand. His fingers slid between mine as we held our hands close. I think this was our message that we can't leave eachother, we're all pretty broke in this group.
