We were sitting by the big tree watching the Château fall. Our home, John B's house was burnt to the ground, everything was gone. We managed to make it out of there, not really sure on how tho. I'm sure we all got a few burns on us, I got one on my arm and leg.
I rested his head against my shoulder as we sat there. I knew he was heartbroken as well, his second, well first home was gone.
"Could've been a faulty electrical wire." Pope suggested.
"The place was all wood. A tinderbox" Kie added
"Thing just went up." Cleo said sadly, "Boom."
"Someone was here last night." I say and they all turned to look at me.
"What?" Sarah asked
"What do you mean sis?"
"I mean, that was no faulty wire, that fire was on purpose." I tell them, "Someone wanted us gone. For good."
"How can you know that?" Kie asked me not believing me.
"If it was a wire then it would have been closer to the inside of the house and we would have had smoke inside a lot quicker. I saw the fire outside,and it spreaded outside before coming in. Meaning something or someone started that shit up and wanted us inside." I explained
"Yeah, okay that more logical." Pope agreed
"Verdict's in, bro. Whoever's up there does not like you." JJ chimed in reaching for my hand and looking at his ring, "I'm sorry."
JJ grabbed a random glass bottle and threw it the house. We just sat there for a while longer looking at the once beautiful messy, Château. Couldn't get any worse, right?

We had eventually got up and moved down to the dock. Sat and waited there till it was time for us to go.
"Sarah, when did you say the pilot was getting in?" John B asked watching the storm as it moves in.
"Probably like an hour?" she tells him, "I mean, once he's here, my dad says we can leave whenever we want."
"Okay, well as much as I would love to ghost my parents again, I can't." Pope spoke and he was right Uncle G would put him underground if he did.
"Pope, we're talking El Dorado here. Can you just slip out the back maybe?" JJ suggested
"Great advice" Kie said with sarcasm
"It always worked for me. How to avoid unpleasant circumstances 101." JJ begins, "If there's a problem, you don't wanna face it, turn that face and keister around and walk the other way."
"I'm not doing that okay." Pope tells him, I could set that Pope was torn in two.
"I just want you to be there, dog." JJ started to pout
"I'm gonna be there. I'll meet you at the airstrip in an hour?"
"Yeah, we'll see you there." John B told him
"One hour, Pope. Not a second later." JJ tells him as he wrapped his arm around me. As Pope and Cleo walked away. I blocked out whatever conversation the rest of them were having and thought about my Dad.
I needed to ask my Dad as well. I which he technically already agreed to it but this was huge. I still have to live up my end of our last deal. Who knows what I would have to agree too in order for me to go with them. I already agreed that I would go away to some camp or whatever he picked, and I have to talk to her.
Which is something I don't wanna do but I can't avoid it forever. I was snapped out of my thoughts as I feel someone pulling me along. I look up and see JJ pulling my hand as he walked away so I would follow, "See you guys on the tarmac." JJ shouted as we left.
