Simon, you have to come over and explain some things. -Dad

"Shit."

Simon stares at the message, he totally forgot about that part. Of course his father would find out about the medicines he stole. It's not like they were just lying around there for whenever he needed something. He was an addict and those drugs were part of the reason Simon still hated his father. He couldn't hate him fully, though. He can't forget about who he was before the drugs and alcohol. He was the best dad. So Simon knows he's a good person, he just really really messed up very bad. He doesn't forgive him for that, though.

He actually has to listen en head over to his Dad's soon, he also still had to pay him for the booze he got them. He doesn't like the feeling of owing him something. But he just didn't have all the money, since August was broke and all he could do was sell the drugs Simon gave him. But for some reason he stopped with that a few days ago. He has to ask him about that. But it's already late, so he will make up an excuse why he has to go to school in the morning.

--

It's sunday morning and August is in the school's gym training to be better. At least on the outside. Since the inside is only getting uglier. He looks at himself in the big mirror. Disgusting. He feels at his stomach. Fat. Exercising is like therapy to August. It helped him when his father had just died. He had always felt like he had to prove himself to his father. Even now when he is gone he wants to be good for him. He knows he is far from good, but there is not much he can do now to change that. Except from exercising so he will at least look good. Better. He needs to look better.

He suddenly hears the door open. A smaller curly haired boy walks in. It's Simon. Great, just what he needed, someone to tell him how horrible he is. As if he doesn't know it yet. He rolls his eyes.

"Simon Eriksson, to what do I owe the pleasure?" He knows what this is about. He stopped sending him money for the drugs he sold to pay him back. Truth is, they were all gone. Everything was sold. And maybe he used some of it too, but not much. Just enough to postpone stealing from Sara a little longer.

"You still haven't payed me back everything you owe me." Simon replies. August nods. He can't argue with that statement. It's true. He just doesn't know what to do about it. Wilhelm made sure he got enough money to stay in school, but it didn't get him any richer.

"Everything is already sold. There's not much more to do." August says. He knows Simon already hates him, so why not be a dick about this too?

"Well, you're going to pay me back anyway. I don't care how, but you definitely are." Simon says angrily. He seems like he already knows that he has to fight for this, or he won't get it. August wonders when in his life he started to have that effect on people.

"I want to pay you back Simon. I do. But I'm lost. I don't know how. I'm still broke." He means it. This is his chance of doing something good for once. Besides, he feels really bad for what he did to Sara and Simon is her brother. So this is his way of making up for it. He knows it's not good enough, but what would be?

Simon appreciates it though and says they should just sit and think for a moment. August doesn't have a lot of stuff to sell, except for Årnas, but he would rather die than sell his fathers legacy. Working isn't really an option either, since he lives at school and those people can't know he needs money. Everything will be lost. They're not getting very far with their ideas. Simon is looking like he's tired of putting up with August. But suddenly August has an idea. He jumps up.

"I know! We-" Simon coughs. "I mean, I... could do something with Saint Lucia." Simon looks confused.

"Like what?"
