"How's it feeling?" Pope asked Kiara as she was in the air on the pully thing that they had made

"Feels good"

Pope nodded "Taken you down"

"John b pulling a Houdini" JJ said after taking a sip of his beer that Liv had fought with him over, not wanting him to be drinking so early in the morning

"Yeah, where is he?" Pope questioned "I got my scholarship interview tomorrow. We gotta get this done"

Liv shrugged "He was supposed to be back by now"

Suddenly John b came walking past where Kie was being lowered to the ground "Speak of the devil. Hey!" JJ called out to him "Dude, I set up the entire winch to pull up the gold and everything"

"No, he did not" Pope denied "I did that"

"Hey" Kie shouted

"John b" Liv called out to her brother as he ignored everyone and walked into the chateau

"Okay, that's it?" JJ questioned, confused

"Uh... what's that all about?" Pope asked

"I was gonna ask you the same question" JJ answered as him and Liv got out of the hot tub and followed their friends into the house

They walked into the house to see John b trashing it looking for something "You alright, man?" Pope asked "What- what's up?"

"What are you looking for, Johnny?" Liv asked as she walked closer to her brother

He continued to ignore everyone and walked over to the sofa, lifting the cousins

"Bro, what's going on?" John b found the gun in the sofa and picked it up, looking at it for a second as Liv's eyes widened "John b what do you need the gun for?" JJ asked as he walked closer to his best friend

John b seen JJ getting closer so he grabbed his arms and threw him onto the sofa which had been made into a bed

"John b what the fuck!" Liv shouted as she made her way over to her boyfriend to help him up

John b made his way to the back door but was blocked by Pope "What are you JJ now?"

John b pushed Pope to the side, as he crashed into the table, John b continued to walk out side to JJ bike, ignoring everyones calls for him to calm down

Kie asked if Pope was okay before running after her friend shouting "John b, what the hell are you doing?"

The four friends run outside to see John b getting on JJ's bike and revving the engine "John b what's going on! Talk to me!" Liv shouted over the engine

"Ward knows about the gold!" he finally said then turned around and looked at Liv in her eyes "He killed our dad" then he rood off

Everyone ran after him I hopes to catch him, even though they kew they wouldn't, but Liv stayed still, staring off into space

Ward killed her father. The man that took her in, gave her somewhere to live, the man that owned the house she had stayed at many times with Sarah and Kie, killed her dad

He always seemed nice, like he wouldn't hurt a fly. He was always nice to her whenever she was over, she was nice to her even when her and Rafe broke up. She didn't think he would be capable of doing anything like this, but it all makes sense now

After her father past he started being nicer to her than he had been before, she never understood why, but now she does

He felt guilty

And her father. She never thought that he was alive, but there was always a small part of her the hoped he was out there somewhere, waiting for the right time to come home, but now knowing that she would never see him again made her feel like her heart was ripped out of her chest.

She felt like that when the police first told her and John b that their dad was presumed dead, and now she was feeling it all over again

A hand on her arm snapped her out of her thoughts "Liv" she looked in the ocean blue eyes she fell so deeply in love with "are you okay"

Tears clouded her vision as she shook her head, not finding the strength to talk, and shoved her head in JJ's chest and let out a sob

JJ gently stroked her hair as she sobbed in his chest, having a strong grip on his shirt. His heart broke for her. He remembers how heart broken she was when he first went missing, she cried for hours in his arms, that was when she wasn't with Rafe at Barry's

He didn't want her to go through that again, he hoped that she didn't. He hated seeing her upset, he always has

He just hoped that she wouldn't go back to how she was 9 months ago
