Love Against All Odds

Chapter 10: Family Drama

You get downstairs and see Rafe, Topper, and Kelce. You take a big deep breath. You know you're gonna be showered with questions and you're just hoping you can handle it. "Umm hey guys what's going on?"
"Um hey Liv can we talk please?" Rafe asks
"Yea ok." You start following Rafe to a separate room. He checks to make sure no one is near and no one can hear you. You feel a shiver go up your spine. You're nervous about what your drug addict brother might do to you. "So why are you making up lies now? I mean cmon Liv related to a pogue seriously?! There's no fucking way!" He grabs and squeezes your shoulders. You're trying really hard to breathe. This is what you were afraid of. "I swear to you Rafe it's true it's what dad told me and Sarah if you don't believe us go talk to him." You don't know how but you were able to get words out. You're petrified just frozen in place as he drops you. You fall to the ground trying so hard to catch your breath. You eventually do.

Rafe leaves and goes to find Ward. Eventually after what felt like looking for forever he found him on the balcony. "Dad is it true?"
"Is what true son?"
"That JJ is our brother that mom cheated on you all of it?"
Ward sighs, "Yes son unfortunately it is true." Rafe gets really angry and just storms off.

Sarah is still with John B when she gets a call from you. "Hey Liv what's up?"
"S-s-Sarah p-please come h-home I n-need y-y-you."
"Hey hey Liv it's ok talk to me what happened?"
"I t-told R-Rafe and h-he grabbed m-me. I-I c-can't b-breathe S-Sarah please c-come h-home."
You say through tears
"Ok hey Liv I'm on my way. Is Topper there?"
"I-I d-don't know."
"Ok Liv look for Topper I'm on my way home right now just stay in the phone with me and take deep breaths just like I taught you ok in for 4 seconds hold for 4 seconds out for 4 seconds and keep repeating that."
"O-ok S-Sarah I l-love y-you."
"I love you too Livvy."

She stays on the phone with you the entire time. You find Topper and end up crying in his arms. He knows about your panic attacks so he knows how to help you through them. He kisses you so you have to hold your breath which pretty much always works. "That better?" He asks
"Yea thank you."

Meanwhile Rafe takes off to Barry's house. When he gets there he sees Barry outside. "Yo Barry I need something right now please give me something."
"Wow country club you know I'm not just gonna give it to you. You need to pay for it."
"Alright alright fine!" He starts going through his pockets and finds a wad of cash. "Here now hit me up with it I need to take a hit."
"Ok alright but what's such the rush like what happened man."
"A pogue is my brother is what's up. I just found out."
"Wow what in the actual hell how is that possible?"
"I don't know man I don't know!" He takes a hit. "Ok I need to get going now I'll see you later thank you."
"Alright bye country club." Rafe takes off from Barry's house.

Sarah arrives at home and sees you calmed down in Toppers arms falling asleep. "You got her to calm down?"
"Yea I did she was so exhausted and started falling asleep. I think she also may have had a mini seizure because like only one part of her body was shaking."
"Yea that's a seizure but it's ok as long as she's ok. The stress was probably too much for her to handle.
"Yea probably I'm just gonna take her up to her room so she can sleep in her bed."
"Yea good idea. I'll stay with her and make sure she's ok." Topper begins to carry you upstairs and you start to stir but then fall right back asleep. He brings you to your room and tucks you into bed being really careful not to wake you up. Sarah then sits down on her bed across from you and just watches you. Topper leaves to go home but Sarah stays with you while you sleep.

Rafe headed to the chateau. The pogues see his bike pull up and know trouble is coming. They see Rafe get out of the car. "JACKSON MAYBANK!" Rafe screams. The look on all of the pogues faces says oh shit we're fucked. "Yes?"
"What the fuck do you mean you're my sibling? What did you give my family to make them think that?"
"Rafe I swear to you I gave your family nothing."
"LIAR!" He then grabs JJ and starts strangling him. JJ fights back and it ends in a full on fight between Rafe and JJ the pogues are screaming at them to stop. JJ ends up getting thrown through the screen and knocked out. Even though he is knocked out Rafe still continues to punch him as if he's fighting back. Eventually John B interferes and gets Rafe off of him and yells at him to go home. Rafe takes off towards his bike in a fit of anger. The pogues tend to JJ however he's not waking up.

JJ is taken to the hospital and John B calls Sarah.
"Hey Sarah."
"Hey babe what's up?"
"We're at the hospital right now it's JJ. Rafe came and beat him up and now he's in the hospital."
"Oh my god me and Liv are on our way. How is he doing?"
"We don't know they just brought him back but he was unconscious and wouldn't wake up."
"Oh my god. We're on our way." Sarah wakes you up and says it's JJ. You immediately spring out of bed and get going with Sarah. On the way Sarah explains to you what happened. You can't help b it think it's your fault since you told Rafe that JJ was his sibling.
