1984 | JJ Maybank

Big Brother Is Watching You.

Liv is terrified of water--like, panic attack in the swimming pool terrified. So she stays in the driver's seat at the center of the HMS Pogue where she's always in control, and she watches her friends surf from a nice, dry patch of sand. Everyone knows why, but no one talks about it; because it wasn't supposed to happen.

Then again, a lot of things aren't supposed to happen. Like, for instance, Liv's brother isn't supposed to steal her paychecks to fuel his gambling problem. She isn't supposed to get shot at on the marsh. And she definitely isn't supposed to have a crush on JJ Maybank.
