(a/n bare with me on the timeline, before I start act 3, I'll put them in chronological order. But for now, just pay attention to the premise and it'll explain where we are)
Premise: The Hot Tub Scene (a/n I felt like I wanted to write it so I guess it's an AU one shot)
Song: Lost On You by Lewis Capaldi
"Gotta be done before my scholarship interview in the morning" Pope said to the girls as they got out of the van at John B's
"Okay, let's just focus" Lydia replied, not liking the way she left things with JJ back at Barry's
"We got John B and JJ inside the well, and me up top. Lydia, Kie, you'll be with Sarah outside transporting" Pope went over the plan
"Yeah we got this" Kie nodded
"What the hell is that?" Lydia asked, hearing a mechanical whirring sound
They rounded the corner on the chateau, and were met with a bunch of lights strung everywhere and one completely blasted JJ, in a hot tub.
"What did you do JJ?" Pope asked, eyes wide
"I got a jet going straight in my butt right now. Y'all should get in here immediately. Salud!" JJ slurred, sipping from a floating champagne flute
"JJ, how much did this cost?" Lydia asked looking around
"Well, with the generator, petrol, and express delivery. Pretty much all of it" JJ replied
"You spent all the money in one day?" Kie yelled
"Yeah, burned a hole straight through my pocket. But, I mean, guys look at this, finest jet-based massage therapy, that's what they told me" JJ answered
When his eyes fell on Lydia's upset face, "Lyds, what? Can't a man have a little luxury in life? All this scrimping and scraping. We only live once right? Now enough of this emotional shit, get in the cats ass" He said
"The what?" Kie asked
"In the Cat's Ass. That's what I named her" JJ muttered, "Oh hey, I almost forgot! Disco mode, that's right baby!"
"Are you kidding me? You could've paid for restitution" Pope intervened
"Or literally given it to any charity" Kie yelled
"You could have helped us buy supplies to get the gold out of the well" Pope continued
"Okay, well you know what? I didn't do that" JJ stood up, his torso littered with fresh bruises, "I got a hot tub! For my friends, you know what? Screw friends, I got a hot tub for my family"
Lydia's mouth dropped open, tears welling up in her eyes. Luke had gotten JJ pretty good this time, it was definitely worse than the beating he took for being arrested.
"JJ" Lydia sighed, wanting nothing more than to give him a hug
"No, you stop being emotional, okay?" JJ cried, "I mean, it's sweet, right? Everything" He broke down
Lydia didn't care about her stitches in her leg or her clothes getting wet, she quickly stepped into the hot tub and held the boy in her arms while he sobbed. He held on to her for dear life, Kie and Pope soon joining the hug
"I just couldn't do it! I can't take him anymore! I wanted to kill him!" JJ cried, "I just wanna do the right thing"
"Shh, baby, I know. You're okay" Lydia cooed into his ear, stroking his blonde locks
