Cahpter 4

Everyone watched as everything went to shit, and to top it all off, it looked like it was happening in slow motion. Steven and Devon were now beside Willow. Willow turned to look at her sister and saw how her sister had intentions of doing something to stop the fight, and as she ran towards them Willow follow her like somehow they created a plan without talking to each other. They approached at the same time to try to separate their brother from the fight.

Willow grabbed Conrad by the shirt to pull him towards her and separated him from Topper, while Devon stood between Topper and Conrad, but everything went so fast that Topper couldn't deflect the swing—causing Devon to fall to the ground.

JB, and the guys help Willow stopping Conrad so he couldn't go back, Willow  was about to runs back to help her sister to get off the ground when they started hearing some police sirens. Everyone started running to their respective cars, Devon was pulled by Sarah and Kiara towards the Van, while Willow was helping Conrad get to the jeep. She felt like she owed him, since everything that happened was because Conrad was trying to defend her. All the pogues went towards the Twinkie, and Steven and Belly took Jeremiah to his jeep.

Steven turned to his left and saw that Devon was getting into the Twinkie, he didn't want to leave her alone, so he ran to her as she got in the passenger's seat. Steven stood in front of the passenger window, startling Devon for a second.

We don't have time for this, Devon thought, he can worry later, " Go with Willow and Belly, I'll be fine, they're going to need you." She half smiled to reassure him, Steven nodded and went to Jeremiah's jeep.

" Hurry up, Steven, or we will get caught by the police." His sister yelled at him, before her getting into the passenger seat.

As soon, as Steven got in the back with Conrad and Jeremiah, Willow started the car and set off for her house.

"JB, follow my sister," Devon said.

....

Willow parked her brother's jeep, and immediately after that she got out to help Conrad, she saw how the pogues were getting out of Twiekie. Steven and Belly were helping Jeremiah, meanwhile, Sarah and Kiara were helping Devon to get out, even though she could walk they wanted to make sure she was okay. She got a really harsh punch in the face.

The pogues, the Fisher's, and the Conlklin's head towards the door of the house. Willow was the first one to get in, and she made a signal to everyone else to be quiet so they wouldn't be caught, but when she turned to the living room, she saw the mother's sitting there with a very unfriendly face. No one knew what to say, everyone was waiting for a scolding, even the pogues.

¨How was the party?¨ The question seemed to be for everyone, but Laurel actually asked Belly and Devon.

¨What's wrong with you guys??" asked Susannah rhetorically to her sons, seeing the condition they are in. Then she looks at her youngest daughter sighing in distress, ¨ Devon what happened to your face ?¨

¨There was a fight...¨ replied Conrad, not proudly. Susannah exhaled through her nose.

¨I'm fine Mom, it doesn't hurt," Devon lied.

¨It's too late to deal with this, we'd better all go rest, and tomorrow we'll talk about what happened," Laurel said, trying to calm the situation.

The pogues understood this as their signal to leave, but as soon as they turned around, the mothers said in tune, "Where do you think you are going?" the pogues looked at each other in confusion.

¨It's late, and you guys aren't at all sober. Stay for the night, neither of you should be driving in this condition." Susannah said, and although the pogues felt a warm feeling because they care about them, they also felt embarrassed for the scolding.

¨Devon come to the kitchen for ice with me." said Susannah and without saying anything Devon followed her.

¨Belly go get blankets for your friends, Steven help Jeremiah up to his room. I'll bring him some aspirin and water now," said Laurel. ¨I'll help you, Conrad.¨

Willow was the only one left in the room with the pogues, the six of them sat in the living room, and there was an uncomfortable silence. JJ who was sitting next to Willow decided to speak.

¨Are you okay?" he whispered to Willow who was next to him very close because they were all crammed together on the couch.

Willow didn't expect JJ to ask her how she was doing. ¨Yes," she replied uncertainly.

JJ nodded his head and turned to look at her, Willow turned sideways, and as their eyes meet they looked at each other for a few seconds, but both shyly looked away from each other as they heard footsteps.

Here are the blankets. "Belly came downstairs in her pajamas with several blankets over her arms. The bathroom is down the hall to your left, in case anyone needs it.¨ The pogues smiled softly at Belly.

¨I think I'll go to sleep now, if you need anything, send me a message or my room is the one on the second door in the hall." said Willow standing up from the couch.

....

It was 3 o'clock in the morning and barely two hours had passed since the fisher and the pogues had arrived when Willow went downstairs to get a glass of water, everything was very quiet.

She got to the kitchen, grabbed a glass, and filled it with water, she was drinking the glass with water when out of the corner of her eye she saw someone standing there watching her drink the glass of water, Willow looked up and noticed it was JJ.

Willow and JJ were looking at each other without saying anything, JJ could not take his eyes off Willow.

"Why are you awake?" asked Willow, leaving the glass on the counter.

"I can't sleep, well actually I can never sleep in other people's houses, in fact, the only one I can rest well in is JB's house" replied JJ nervously.

Willow didn't know what to say so she just smiled and said the first thing that came to her mind. "Thanks for telling me... I mean about JB's house" she replied nervously too.

JJ smiled looking at his feet and spoke "Do you think you could give me a glass of water, I've been dying of thirst for a while but I didn't want to go into someone else's kitchen." finishing his sentence he looks at her kinda ashamed.

Willow laughed softly and nodded her head, grabbed a new glass, and poured some water for JJ.

"Here, there's the pitcher if you want to pour more, night, JJ." Willow didn't wait for the answer and just walked away

Jj followed her with his eyes and when he saw that she almost fell going up the stairs he laughed softly and covered his mouth to keep the water in his mouth.

"Night, lilo" whispered JJ to himself.
