"Hey, so do you have a membership to the clubs now?" Pope asked John B, "I don't know, Pope" he rolled his eyes, "What about those golf carts they drive around? You get one of them?" JJ started, "Does it come with a sweater-vest, or do you have to buy one on your own?" Pope teased, making me giggle.

"Look you promised" Kie spoke up next to me, "you said you weren't with her" "Bro, just own it. She got you." JJ interrupted.

After the incident, Ward decided to take guardianship of John B. We were confused as fuck as why he did it but he's helping John B out with DCS.

We sat in the van, driving to where the maps told us. "So we're just looking for an old stone wall" Pope spoke, looking out the window. "Okay, so the road should split up here. Annnddd, you're gonna take a left" He pointed up towards the winding road.

"That looks like a stone wall to me" JJ piped up, stepping out the van, "This is it?" I said grabbing his hand and hopping out. Looked like a unfinished wall at someone's house.

"Not the Crain house." JB groaned, I looked at him confused, "why'd it have to be here of all places?" he added. "What's wrong with here? Who's Crain?" I said putting my hood up on my hoodie. "I heard that Mrs. Crain buried her husband's head on the property" JJ said, making my eyes widen, "And we willingly drove here, guys? I wanna leave" I looked around me, now kinda freaked out.

"I don't have your money" I quietly spoke, "Mm-hm" Barry mumbled, looking around at my place. "I'll have it by the weekend, I promise" I said, returning his attention back to me. "So how's you and your girl?" He questioned, cleaning off dirt from his own bike, I tensed at the mention of Chloe. "you hear things" he answered my inner questions of how he knew Chloe, "I know she lives on the cut, she's a pretty girl, not sure why she's with a kook tho" he laughed, "you must really like her then" I clenched my jaw as he went on.

"I'll get you the money" I sternly said, talking the topic away from my girl.

"You see country club," he stood up, walking closer to me, "if I don't get my money then your girls going to have to be involved and you don't want that now" he stared at me, "Don't, Chloe stays out of this. It was one party with the coke, I pay you back and you forget about her. She doesn't need to know about this, it was a one time thing" I snapped,

"you have three days" He spoke, revving his bike and leaving me.

{ back to Chloe's pov }

"Honestly, I don't really believe the stories of this place" Kie spoke, "which stories did you hear?" I replied, wanting to know what the hell kind of stories she was talking about, "The one where she killed her husband with an axe, and that she's been holed up ever since" "you're lying, John B!" I called out, "Shh!" Pope shushed me.

"I don't like this guys, were going to die" I said, looking at all the trees around us, at-least it was daylight and not night.

"I knew Hollis. Jeez" JJ said, walking ahead with everyone, while I was the slowest. "Dude, how did you know Hollis Crain?" Pope stopped walking, "She was my babysitter, man. She told me all about it. The truth about her mother..and what happened in this house." He said looking back at me, "No no" I said, turning away and going back to the car.

John B grabbed my arm lightly, "you're fine, they're idiots Chloe" he tried to reassure me.

"Hollis didn't believe it. Until that night.." he talked to Pope, "what night?" "It all came back to her. When Hollis was six years old, she heard her parents arguing downstairs. She goes downstairs to see her mom washing her hands in a sink.." "Fuck that, JJ let's go" I said grabbing onto the collar of his shirt, he let out a gagging noise, surprised by my action. "Jeez Chloe," he grunted, adjusting his collar again.
