We arrived to the chateau where I knew everyone would be. My heart pounded as I sat in the truck with my seatbelt still across my chest.

"Are you coming? This your house." Barry joked as he held a gun in his hand placing it into his pocket.

I gulped. "It was her house." Rafe glared at Barry. The two had been going back in forth the whole ride over to the chateau. "Come on." He leaned over as I sat still in the backseat and unbuckled my seat belt for me. I slowly stepped out of the vehicle and followed close behind.

I had been thinking about what Rafe said at Barry's. What would I do if I had to choose between my brother or my boyfriend? I had always been loyal to the pogues but Rafe had been protecting me more than my own brother.

Barry turned around before we started walking down the path. "If your bitch ass says a word before we even walk onto the yard, I'll catch a case."

I laughed as Rafe cocked his head at Barry. Barry had no idea what Rafe was capable of, but after last summer I knew exactly what he was able to do if needed. "You so much as point a gun at her, i'll catch a case. Let's go." Barry glared at me before walking down the path to the chateau.

Barry and Rafe walked steadily in front of me as I tried to stay behind them as best as I could.

"Alright, I ain't see shit. I thought they were here." Barry turned his head at me to which I shrugged.

"They can't be far." Rafe whispered.

Barry led the way once the boys set out a plan. Rafe grabbed my hand as he pulled me along with him. As we got closer and started looking around there was no one to be found.

"Hm. Guess they're not here." I sighed.

"Actually...I'm right here." John B kept his hands up in surrender.

My eyes shot open wide knowing that my brother was risking his life. "John B...what are you doing?"

"Keep your bitch ass hands up!" Barry yelled.

"Barry no!" I jumped in front of John B grasping him into a hug with my arms tight around his torso.

"Barry wait! Do not pull that trigger." Rafe pushed Barry's gun down. "Jo, what are you doing?"

"I can't let you do this Rafe." I let go of John B and turned around slowly still guarding John B. "If you're gonna kill him, you have to kill me too."

"Josie move your ass, now." Rafe walked closer to John B and I, grabbing my arm but I yanked it away.

"No! I can't let you hurt him. He's all I have left! Your dad took everything from us!" A tear slipt from cheek while my hands remained raised.
