IT COMES AND GOES IN WAVES

(WASTELAND, PAYING BACK AND HOT TUB)

"Through the wind"

NO ONE'S POV-

                           They all crowded the panting man, Milly stepping forward and pulling the bandana down, "I know this piece of shit! He's a basehead!" JJ raised his voice, "Probably knows my brother." Sarah said not taking her eyes off the man. "He sells coke to my dad." JJ said once again, "Listen I couldn't hurt any single one of y'all--" Barry was cut off by JJ smashing the gun into his face, "JJ!" Kie and Sarah yelled, JB and Pope pulled him back, "Dude, chill, man." Pope said, "No. Nobody speaks or treats my girl and my friends the way this shit did." he bent down taking his wallet out, "Come on let's just go!" SJ said. MJ watched as JJ stared at the card in his hands, "We got one last stop." he said walking to the car, "Hey!" JJ ignored Barry's calls, "Let's go see where this son of a bitch lives." he got into the van, the rest of them looked to MJ, "What?" she questioned, "He's your boyfriend." Kie said, "So?" "Stop him." they walked to the van, "I'm gonna remember this shit! You can't hide from me! I know exactly who y'all are!" Barry yelled as John B threw his keys into the trees. When they were all in they drove off to the house.

"Welcome to Crackhead Wasteland." Sarah said as the van pulled up to the messed up piece of land, "I don't know about this, man." Pope said looking towards MJ since she hadn't done anything to stop JJ yet. "JJ, why are we at Barry's?" Milly questioned from Pope's lap, "This will only take a second." JJ jumped out the car, Kie pulled the back door open and they all watched as JJ walked up to the house, "Where are you going?" John B asked, "Yo soy justicia." was JJ's response, "that was hot." MJ muttered and they all looked at her, "What? It was." she put her hands up. They all looked back to the house, "You know somebody should probably--" "Yeah I got it." John B grunted getting out of the car already knowing what Kie was about to say. "I should come too--" "No MJ." SJ looked at her sister with warning eyes, she nodded letting John B sort his best friend out. "All I'm saying is this won't end well." MJ muttered. 

They were all waiting nervously outside, all of them now standing on the grass since it was too hot for all of them to be in there, aside for MJ who was still in the car not wanting this to end badly with her and JJ in a fight. Their thoughts were cut of by the blond walking out saying, "Alright, so we're looking at 5 grand each for reparations for putting us through that bullshit. Sorry about that y'all. Where is MJ?" he looked around, "So is that what we are doing now? We're robbing drug dealers?" MJ said as she stepped out of the van not daring to look at JJ who scoffed, "This Barry guy is gonna find out." Sarah agreed. "And he is gonna come after us." SJ muttered biting her nails, John B put a comforting arm around her, "Yeah, he will. This is not the time to start wiling out." Pope said. "How did you like having a gun pulled on you?" JJ asked and John B got in his face saying, "Relax." "He had it right here on you, bro." "Look. We've gotta go get the gold okay? Just give me that shit." MJ steeped forward going to get the bag only for JJ to push her back, "Don't touch her like that--" John B went to say but JJ pushed him up onto the car, "You feel like a tough guy? Huh? What are you gonna do when he comes for us?" John B asked, "We punch him in the throat." "Good fucking idea JJ. And what about MJ, was that your plan to push her too." John B asked, JJ's head snapped to the girl who was stood up but facing the other way, "MJ?" he put his hand on her shoulder, when she turned around tears already streaked her face and were falling, "What, JJ?" "Come on, out of everyone here, I thought you would pick me." "I would. All the time. But stealing from this guy, did you see the gun he had?!" "I know! But we can leave!" "Put it back!" "No!" "JJ! Please!" there was a silence, "I'm not putting it back." he said. SJ has a few tears running down her face at the sight of her sister, Milly had her head in the crook of Pope's neck and both Kie and Sarah stood together not knowing what to do. JJ stepped into the car, none of them following, "You guys getting in or what?" he asked, "JJ, please stop and think about this." MJ stood in the doorway, she could tell JJ was in the verge of breaking, he looked up at her and got out the car pushing past the girl, "What?" "We are sick of your shit." John B replied to him, "Oh, my shit?" "Yeah. Yeah. Your shit." "Yes. Your pulling guns on people shit." SJ said, "You acting like a maniac--" JJ cut Pope off, "Okay, Pope, I took the fall for you man! You know how much money I because of you?" "I'm gonna pay  you back, and I didn't ask you to do that!" "I just did! Pay it back. Right here, right now, by myself. You know what? That's exactly what I'm going to do. Go off by myself." JJ turned to the car where he left the bag only to be blocked by MJ, "MJ. Move." he said lowly, "No. Put this back JJ." "Why?" "Put it back or--" "Or what MJ?" "We are done! Put it back or we are done." "Well, then it was great being with you." he said moving his arm around her and grabbing the bag then walking off, "JJ!" she yelled going after him but SJ pulled her back, "Don't, MJ. He'll be back." she hugged her, only to be pushed away. "Just let him go." Sarah said, "He is doing a JJ thing." Kie nodded, "Yeah, he will come around soon." Milly nodded and they all got into the car not saying a word. 

Everyone but JJ were now sat in The Wreck talking, well everyone but MJ, "Look he'll come around alright? It's a JJ thing." John B said, "You think he'll go home?" "There's about a zero percent chance that JJ goes home." Pope was looking out the window his head resting on top of Milly's as her arms were wrapped around his torso. SJ had also been quite, John B looked to her, "You alright?" "Yeah. Are you?" she nodded, "I mean, I'm in one piece, so..." he smiled at her. "It's too dangerous to pawn this thing off piecemeal. So our best bet is to go down there and get the rest of it." Pope said, "Bring it all up at once. Put it in-- a safe or a vault or something. I don't know, just until we find someone who won't rip us off." Milly agreed. "Milly and I can figure it out tonight, get it done and we can be out there tomorrow morning." Pope told them, "Easy. Let's do it." John B said, "What about that thing with my dad?" Sarah asked, "What thing?" Milly questioned, "I have to go fishing with Ward." "You can't get 400 mil cause you're gonna go kill fish?" Kie looked at him, "Look, I have to go." "Blow it off." Milly, Pope and SJ all said together, "It's 400 million in gold!" "Make something up!" they were all saying to him, "Look I have to okay? He saved me, alright? And if it weren't for Ward, I'd be in foster care. So I have to go, and it will be better to do it at night." John B told them, "Fine, go fishing." Pope said to him, "And at least JJ will probably have washed up by then." Kie nodded, "Oh wait, Kie could you plan with Pope cause I think someone should stay with MJ." Milly asked and Kie smiled and nodded at the girl. They all had their own plans and until the next evening before they would go full Kook. "Hey John B can I show you a place?" SJ asked putting her hand out, he grabbed it, "Yeah, sure. Can we take the van?" John B looked at them, they all nodded, "Yeah, Kie and I can walk to mine." Pope said, "I got JJ's bike." MJ said before walking out, Milly following her. SJ knew her sister was hurt but she also knew her and JJ would be okay, "Come on." she smiled, "I'm coming fishy." he chuckled and they left. They pulled up to the old church on the cut and they got out, going inside and after a load of talking SJ whispered, "I'm sorry Dad." before crashing her lips onto John B's taking him by surprise but after that, you know what happened. 

MJ and Milly were on the bike driving back to the shack since they needed to pick up a few things, "You okay MJ?" MIlly broke the silence, "I-- No." she whispered, "Hey it's going to be okay, think about it, we will be filthy rich and you can surf all day. With JJ. And we can all be together--" Milly was cut off by lots of lights switching on, "What the hell?" Milly muttered, "Who the hell is that?" MJ whispered, they walked around the corner to see a familiar blonde. "What did you do, JJ?" Milly questioned, "I got a jet going straight in my butt right now. Y'all should get in here immediately, you hear me? Salud!" JJ drank from the wine bottle. "How much did this cost?" Milly looked around, "Uh. Well, with the generator, the petrol, and oh, hey, express delivery.... pretty much all of it, yeah." JJ said. Their eyes widened, "All of it?" Milly asked, "Yeah all of it." "You spent all the money in one day?" "Yeah, burned a hole right through my pocket. But I mean, like, come on, guys, like, look at this! Finest jet-based massage therapy, that's what they told me. Babe, what? Can't a man have a little luxury in life? Come on, all this scrimping and scraping. I mean like... guys, we-- You only live once right? Enough with this emotional shit. Get in the Cat's Ass. Come on." he looked at his-- the girl and he could tell she had been crying. "The what?" MJ asked, "In the Cat's Ass. That's what I named her. Oh, hey, yo, I almost forgot. Yeah that's right, I know. Disco mode." he switched the disco ball on, "Are you kidding me? You could have pain for restitution!" Milly raised her voice, "Or literally given it to charity, JJ!" MJ's voice broke and the tears began to form. a"Or bought supplies to get the rest of the gold out the well!" Milly suggested. "Okay, well, you know what? I didn't do that!" JJ yelled standing up revealing the damage which his father left on his body, the sight made both Milly and MJ gasp. MJ's hand flew to her mouth and the tears began to flow. "I got a hot tub! For my friends. I got a hot tub for my friends. You know what? No, you know what? Screw friends. I got a hot tub for my family! For my girl! I got this for you. Guys, look what I did for you! Alright? Look at this!" he yelled, "JJ." MJ cried, "No, babe stop being emotional. It's fine, okay?" he laughed which turned into a sob, MJ couldn't take it, walking up the steps and into the water to pulled JJ into her. This simple action make him break, his body shook with sobs as his arm went around the brunette, the both of them crying. "I just couldn't do it. I can't take him anymore! I was gonna kill him. I just wanna do the right thing." he cried, Milly stepped up joining the hug, none of them letting go for a while.
