Come morning Louisiana found herself outside cleaning up tree branches and other debris from the hurricane. The sound of a chainsaw could be heard as her father was cutting the tree that fell near their house. She turned to the driveway seeing the Twinkie pull up. "Let's go!" John b yells hitting the side of the van as jj opened the back door hopping out. "I can't I have to help clean up!" Lou yelled back as jj laughed " the day after a hurricane is a free day!" Jj lies trying to convince the girl to come with them. "Even if it was I'd feel bad leaving all the mess with them so y'all go on I'll be here all day!" Louisiana laughed. "I just love how sweet you are! Love you babes!" Kie yelled out as they drove off to go to their thing.

Noah lifted the wood his father cut and took it to a pile. Mary was with his daughter cleaning things up around the house and inside the house. Around noon the four of them sat at their new kitchen table eating lunch their mother made. They lived a very traditional lifestyle. Their father refused that their mother worked since he thought as the man he was supposed to provide for his family. So he worked two jobs at the moment and their brother also got a job at a place called heywards. While their mother and sister stayed home taking care of the house which was fine. Everyone in the house was loved taken care of and happy. "So you made a lot of friends huh? See told you that one day would work" Clayton spoke up as his wife got up asking if he wanted more and he nodded with a smile thanking her as he handed her his plate.

"Thank youuu" lou laughed to her father as she ate and groaned arguing with her brother as he took chips off her plate. "You have your own fat ass!" Lou yelled. "Woahhhhhhh language??" Clayton says as her mother laughed " she gets it from you?" Her mother says as she sets down a plate down in front of Clayton. The family spent the rest of the afternoon together relaxing in the living room. Lou sat on the floor with her yarn and crocheting hook making herself a new top. Her parents laid on the couch all lovey dovey watching tv. Louisiana turned hearing banging at the screen door. "I'm coming! I'm coming!" She yelled as she got up running to the door seeing jj and John b outside of it.

" your done cleaning so let's go we found a boat and some motel keys" jj says as she looks to her parents. "I don't care hun thanks for all your help" her mother says as her dad nods with a smile. "Got have some fun kid" her dad says as he digs in his wallet handing her a 10 for some food. She thanked him and ran off grabbing a jacket. "I'm going with her" Noah says as he grabs his jacket as well. "mom no! Please tell him-" she was cut off by Josh walking out the door and to the Twinkie. She rolled her eyes telling her parents she loved them. Jj slung his arm around her shoulder walking with her as she talked to them about last night. They get into the van and her brother sits directly in between her and jj she rubbed her face sighing out more than annoyed.

" so what all you guys juniors?" Her brother askee as he pulled out his phone going on it. " yes we all are." Lou replied glaring at her brother. " right so what is it y'all found out there?" Her brother asked. "We found a brand new Grady white and motel keys so we are gonna head there and see what's there" John b replied. The rest of the ride was pretty silent. Once they reach the motel John b and jj get out. " I'll go with y'all" lou says as jj helped her out the van and her brother went to get out she pushed him back. "No you are staying here." She says as Noah rolls his eyes as he watches his sister walk off with the two boys. They walk up the stairs and jj is poking fun at John b for wanting kie. " I think y'all would be cute together" lou smiled as they reach the room and jj knocks on it. "House keeping" he says in a high pitched voice.

Lou shakes her head laughing as she lets job b through to use the key to the motel. The three walk in looking around. As the boys walked around the main room, lou checked out the bathroom looking around it picking up things. Noah waited outside listening to pope and his weird facts. "Listen kid that's cool but nasty as hell" Noah says as he looks up at the room his sister was in. "Shit cops." Kie says as she rush to the window and the two guys followed behind her. As pope miserably tried to throw a rock up at the window Noah quickly picked one up throwing it trying to get the their attention. "Shit let's go" Noah says as he grabs kie and rushes her to the van shoving both her and pope in.

Meanwhile in the motel room lou heard the noise and peaked out the room seeing jj and John b rushing out the window. " cops! Hide!"jj whispered to her before closing the window. She quickly hid in the shower closinf the curtain laying down covering her mouth. She coudl hear them talking and the cops talking about money and the Royal merchant. She heard John b saying something about it but didn't pay it much attention. She held her hand over her mouth as she heard someone come into the bathroom and they were looking around. "We're all good let's go" She hears someone say before the door closed and she let a breath out.

Lou quickly got out of the bathtub and rushed to the window. "Why on gods green earth! Would you leave me in there?!?"she yelled to jj as he helped her down off of the shutter they were standing on. They ran off to the van and they drive off to go relax at John b's house. "Did you guys find anything?" Pope asked as jj shrugged " nah not really" he laughed as he pulls out money and gun. The kids all went to John b's place and bought beers relaxing. The pouges gave a run down on the Bryant kids on the whole island. "Topper this guy at the party last night, complete ass hole, oh and his girlfriend Sarah Cameron. Completeeeeee diva" jj laughed passing the blunt to Noah. "And rafe he's like major douche bag" Kie says as she leans back on the dock they were all sitting on. " ok well I have work in the morning so Louisiana let's go" Noah says as he stands up and Louisiana hugs Kie and waved to John b and Pope before leaving a light kiss on Jj's cheek.

Noah could feel his eye twitch a bit seeing his little sister kiss the boy. "The hell was that?" He asked as John b and pope made fun of jj. "It was a kiss" she says as she walks with her brother out the driveway and down the road. "Also I need you to drive me to work. I got a job at the country club. Kie took me with her there to get something and they were hiring for someone to clean up around the golf course." She says as her brother nods. The two finally get home and go their separate ways. When it was morning Lou was up before everyone in the house making breakfast doing her house chores and such to make the load easier on her mom since she wouldn't be here to help. Soon Noah was up and then their mother then father. " I'm off to work and dropping lou off love you guys" Noah says as loud waves with a piece of toast in her mouth. Running out to her brothers bike she was in the proper attire they told her to wear. A white shirt they had given her that had a country club logo on it. With a pair of dark blue jeans.

They finally reach the country club and her brother reached into his jacket pocket. "Here in case you get hungry" he says to her a she smiled thanking him and giving him a hug. Noah rode off to his job which was at Heywards delivering groceries with pope and jj. Louisiana got a name tag and had a trash bag cleaning up around the golf course. She looked up seeing pope pass by with some beers and such groceries she assumed. "Hey po-" she was cut off y some guy stopping pope trying to get the bears from him. He then ripped the bag and began beating the actual shit out of pope"hey! What the hell, get off him!" Louisiana yelled as she rushed over pushing him away. " what you gonna do about it huh?" Rafe asked as he looked down to Louisiana who was kneeling next to pope.

Noah came up behind Louisiana's "pick on someone your size yeah?" He says as Rafe laughs. "What like you?" He says stepping up to Noah. " yeah like me. Douchebag." He says as he stands his ground staring Rafe dead in the eyes. "Dude let's just go" Topper says as he stared at Noah. The two leave and Noah turns around helping Pope up the two go back to find jj who wa shos sting about a tip he got. Louisiana picked up the rest of the trash and walks back inside. "Hey I'd like to file a complaint I can do that right? Anyways my friend was delivering stuff and some maniac just attacked him, busted him up real good" Louisiana as the lady asked for a description. "Um tall, think his name was rafe-" the lady cut her off with a laugh. "Ms. Bryant that's me Cameron's son he's one of our most respected members" the lady says as Louisiana throws her hands up in defeat and went back to clean up.

As Louisiana was working jj and Noah had convinced Pope to get some revenge on Topper and Rafe. They were outside of Toppers house to sink his boat of course. It was safe to say jj and Noah were pretty bad influences on apple that's for sure. Louisiana was waiting for her brother outside sighing out as she checked the time once more groaning out as she waited. She smiled seeing her brothers bike coming up to get her from the country club. "Is pope ok?"she asked getting on the back. "Never been better" her brother says with a smirk. The two get home and Louisiana smiled seeing her father stand up and come to hug her. "Ah I missed y'all, I'm not used to the house being so empty, your mama is out at the store buying stuff for dinner" he says patting his son on the back with a smile.

The night went well for the Bryant family one by one they all went to their rooms. The last being their father after cleaning up and turning off all the lights checking on both of his kids before going to bed.
