Lily picked up another job at the country club so she could get extra money. They were short on staff for certain days so they hired her.

Lily was wiping down tables and picking up plates when someone bumps into her . "Woah there love." Rafe says grabbing her waist before walking away towards Kelce and Topper, "Asshole." she mumbles putting dirty cups on the cart rack. She looks back and sees Rafe talk to a long brown haired man, he looked familiar until she realized it was the douche who sold coke to her dad.

She walks a bit closer pretending to wipe down tables until she heard him say something, "Why is your little sister and her little surf rat friends running around stealing twenty five k out of my house?" Berry asks, that sentence made her look up confused. "My little sister robbed you? She won't pick a dollar up off the street." Rafe replies in confusion, "You think I don't understand what's going on here? You better sort this out with your sister or that bitch back there who kept staring, or I will." he says turning around looking at Lily.

Lily connected the dots and knew JJ would go back home to pay their dad with the money, she ran into the building and clocked out, she ran back outside and past Rafe and his minions. They all looked at her differently.

She didn't stop running until she made it to the cut. The adrenaline inside of her made her fall several times but that didn't stop her. She watched JJ about to walk inside, "Jay!" she yells making him turn around, "Lily? What are you doing here?" he asks turning around, "You don't get to ask me questions, what the fuck happened?" she asks crossing her arms, "I'll tell you more later, I just have to pay dad first. You can't be here." he says making her shake her head.

"I'm not leaving you here, come on let's go." she says opening the screen door and letting him go first, she looks around to see beer cans everywhere and glass shattered all over the floor. The twins walk into the backyard seeing their dad right there, fear overcame on them both.

"We've been staying at JohnBs." JJ says, "I didn't ask you where yall were staying. I don't care. I knew yall would get hungry." Luke says standing up, "That's not why we came here dad. I got the money." the blond boy says looking at his sister then back at their dad. "I'll believe it when I see it." Luke says shaking his head.

JJ throws a blue bag on the desk making Luke instantly look at it, "It's all there, twenty five k." JJ says smiling a bit once he sees his father let out a small laugh. "I don't know how you got this, and I don't even want to know. You did it." he says smiling, Lily didn't say anything but just had full hatred in her eyes, "There's beer in the cooler, Lily you can have one to." he says pointing down and looking at the girl.

"I'm fine." she says keeping her arms crossed, JJ walks over and gets a beer, "I think that sales still on at Guffys of Makos." Luke says walking past JJ, Lily scoffs and speaks up, "That's for his restitution. Do the right fucking thing for once." she says walking up to him, "You know how that cost me, you little shit. This isn't going to the cops." Luke says holding up the money.

"Don't talk to her like that." that comment made Luke get mad, "You got something to say? After everything yall done?" he says walking away, Lily and JJ look at the blue tub he put the money in, then look at each other. Lily grabs it and Luke runs up to her and pushes her against the wall. He starts punching her in the face, and starts choking her, JJ pushes him off her.

Lily wipes her mouth while she's on the floor, she gets up to see her father on JJ, she pushes him into the glass making him fall off the porch. JJ gets on top of him and starts punching Luke. Lily gets the blue jar and starts hitting him in the face with it. "You gave us nothing! You gave us nothing but a shitty life!" JJ continues to punch him.

"All you ever did was try and scare us!" the blond boy adds, Lily grabs a wrench and hits him in the face with it. "I'm not scared of you anymore." she says throwing it and walk away wiping her eyes. JJ gets up and walks into the front with Lily. He walks up to her and puts his arms around her, "I couldn't do it anymore." he says crying, she wraps her arms around his neck and nods. "You did the right thing Jay, we can't trust him. He won't change." Lily says.

"Alright, plug it in Jay." Lily says holding up an alcohol bottle in the air. He plugs in the lights and the hot tub and they both get in and relax. The twins see Pope and Kie walk towards them with confused faces. "What did yall do?" Pope asks, Lily laughs and looks down. "I got a jet going straight in my butt right now. Yall should get in here immediately." JJ says popping off the cork.

"How much did this cost?" Pope speaks up again, "Well, with the generator, the petrol, oh and express delivery. So all of it." Lily says listing it out on her fingers.

"All of it?" the dark haired boy asks, "Yeah all of it." JJ agrees, "Kie what? Can't a man have a little luxury in life?" JJ speaks up again. Lily hits a button that makes water come out from the sides, "Disco mode." Lily says fixing her sunglasses on her face. "Are you kidding me? You could've paid for restitution!" Pope yells, "Or literally given it to any charity!" Kie adds. "Or better yet, you could've helped us buy supplies. To get the rest of the gold out of the well!"

Lily takes off her glasses and gets out the hot tub, JJ stands up looking at them. "Okay well you know what? I didn't do that! I got a hot tub. For my friends. Screw friends, I got a hot tub for my family!" JJ yells back at them. Kie and Pope look at JJs stomach and face who has multiple bruises, then at Lily who has a black eye, her lip bleeding and a red mark on her neck.

Lily walks inside of the house and takes a shower, she wanted to feel clean but when she got out she still felt dirty. She walked out and went to the back room, layed down, listening to the waves.
