Pinky Promise / JJ Maybank

25

I walked back to the group, trying my best to wipe the tears off my face and make it look like I hadn't been crying, but judging by the looks of their faces when I got back I think I was unsuccessful

John b nodded his head to the Twinkie "Come on, let's get out of here"

Everyone moved to get in the van but I stayed standing. I should stay back and wait for Barry, I could calm him down when he realises that JJ stole from him

Sarah noticed that I was still standing outside and said "Liv what are you doing? Come on"

"Um... I think I'm gonna stay here. Wait for Barry"

Pope looked at me as if I had two heads "Are you crazy?"

"Look he's gonna be mad when he sees that JJ stole from him. If I'm here I can calm him down"

John b didn't seem to have any complaints as he just nodded "How are you gonna get home?" He asks

"I'll walk" I can see that they're all still looking at me with worried looks "I'll be fine" I assure

I think they know that I can handle myself because Kiara closes the sliding door and John b gets ready to drive away, but before he does he turns to me and says "Be careful"

"Always am"

I've been sitting in Barry's shit-hole of a house for the past 3 hours and he's still not here. What the fuck? Where could he be, he literally has no friends

I groan and stand up from the sofa and start walking around. I spent so much time here and even though it's been a while since I've been here everything is the same

I looked around the secret compartments around the house where he used to hide money and some drugs and everything is still where it was 6 months ago

I've been looking around for a few minutes when I hear the door being thrown open and Barry crashing through

"What are you doing here?" He asked angrily

I scrunch my face up "Don't get mad"

"What did you do?"

I gasp "I didn't do anything. It was all JJ"

He tilts his head at me "Did you really just throw your own boyfriend under the bus?"

I avoid his gaze, looking to the floor "He's not my boyfriend anymore"

Barry laughs. He actually laughs "So your boyfriend broke up with you? What did he do"

"See that's the thing..." I trail off "You might want to go look at the duffel bag in your room"

His eyes narrow and he sprints to his bed room. I don't bother to follow but by the look on his face when he returns means he knows

"I'm going to kill him"

He makes a move for the door but I step in front of him, putting my hands on his chest to stop him "I'll pay you back, Barry"

"I don't care!" He shouts "That was my money"

"I know" I shout back "I know" I say softer now "But I promise you, I'll pay you back"

"How?"

I shrug "I don't know but I will"

He seems to calm down a little bit but that might not last very long, it never does "Why did you wait here?"

"So I could calm you down"

He shakes his head repeatedly "I don't believe you"

I tilt me head and furrow my brows "Then why am I here Barry? Please, tell me"
