The friends we have as children shape us. Some of them we keep forever, some of them we lose along the way... but all of them leave something behind... or in his case, take something as they leave.

"So which version of you shall we being seeing this year Cap?" Sebastian asks as soon as I walk through the front door, "We've had angry Mason, vengeful Mason, whipped Mason or as I prefer to call it, puppy dog Mason-"
"Don't forget about bitchy Mason." Hugo chimes in as he walks down the stairs.
"Ah yes, you were quite the bitch last year old friend." Seb agrees.
"What the fuck are you idiots on about?" I ask, dropping my bag behind the couch in the living room.
"It's a new year cap. We'd like to know which personality we're going to meet so we can be prepared." Seb explains.
"Just pleaseeee make sure I have a camera in my hand when you reveal grovelling Mason. I want that shit on tape." Anthony begs, holding his hands in prayer.
"You guys are just jealous that I don't have the personality of plain toast."
"No we're trying to avoid another round of the whiplash you gave us last year." Anthony pipes up, "Come on man, spill it. New year, new Mason so what kind is it gonna be?"
I hate 'new year, new me' shit.
It should be 'new year, same me just on a 30 day free trial of obnoxiously posting about my new gym and motivation Monday quotes'.
So no, I don't like it and I won't be participating.
"Cut him a break boys, I'm sure you'd all go off the rails a little if your childhood best friend who you thought royally fucked you over suddenly appeared again for you to fall in love with." Sam frowns after he's finished and turns to me, "You know your life sounds like a twisted book plot right? It's dramatic as hell."
"Well then you have something to write about for a payout when your hockey career fails to materialise." I quip.
"I think you mean you want me to write it so you can piggyback off the royalties like you do my truck." Sam counters.
"Oh snap." Anthony chuckles.
I glare and smirk at Sam playfully, "You are officially uninvited from Hawaii."
Everyone gasps.
"You wouldn't?" Sam asks in disbelief.
"Oh I would."
At the start of our first season when we were in dorms together, the five of us made a pact that we would spend the summer after College was over in Hawaii until we had to come back for training camps.
We all started saving from then but I think we all knew Seb would pick up the costs the rest of us couldn't. I, however, was given control of planning the trip. Seb was the bank, Anthony was the transport since his Dad is a pilot and could get us discounted seats, Sam made plans for activities while we're there, Hugo got his boat license so we can rent one and I was put in charge of accommodation and general necessities like getting Hugo and myself passports.
