"It is easy to forget now, how effervescent and free we all felt that summer." - Anna Godbersen, Bright Young Things
Preston's POV
After Choco left everyone stayed in a moment of silence, savoring his joyous tears. It feels good knowing that you've helped someone, it's like this warm and cuddly sensation that you can't get anywhere else.
"Well, I don't know about you guys but that just hit me hard in the feels."
I looked over at Matt holding his chest as if it quite literally hit him in his feels.
"MATT I ALWAYS KNEW YOU WERE A BIG OLE SOFTY!"
"Mitch.....do me a favor."
"No, Matt I'm not going to suck your dick. I'm in a happy relationship."
"Oh Shut up."
The boys laughed at their funny interactions. Rob walked up to the middle of the living room and started dumping the trash bags on the floor. There were three trash bags that need it to emptied .
Everyone turned their attention towards the stacks of cash on the ground.
"Holy shit, I've never seen so much green in my entire life."
"Brandon, just how much have you smoked today?"
"Psh I didn't smoke anything today! It's barley one o'clock."
Everybody looked up at Brandon not believing him, hell even the cat looked at Brandon.
"Okay! I smoked today maybe I didn't."
"The world may never know."
Something was balancing on my head which made me look foward. Rob and I met and caught eachothers eyes. He smirked and pointed at my head.
I reached up and felt something as then as paper. I shook my head and saw three stacks of cash land on my lap.
"Holy mother of...Rob! Is this all the money that those goons took from my mom and I?!"
"Yep, the first stack is your college fund. I counted it and there seems to be about twenty thousand in every stack. Is that all the money they took from you guys?"
I thumbed through the stacks of hundreds and felt my mind mentally count through it all. Holy shit, this is all of it.
"Yeah it is."
"Good. The other two stacks are your moms retirement."
How do I repay these guys for everything they've done? Wait, I know exactly how! I handed mom her two stacks and set mine besides her.
"Hey Rob, is that the peoples money?"
Rob was separating more stacks of money and was putting notes on top of them. To the right of him there was a pile of stacks that were still left un touched.
"Yep, I've separated everyones money and I gave them an extra amount too."
"What about the money on the ground?"
"Oh, I'm about finished here. The money on the ground is what's left. I was going to ask what we should do with it."
A smile cracked on my face as I picked up the remaining stacks of cash. What better way then to show everyone my gratitude than giving them something everyone would like.
"Can I have everyone attention, for a second?"
Multiple pairs of eyes looked up at me, giving me their full attention.
"I just wanted to say thank you everyone for everything you did. I really appreciate it. I know it was stressful and tough but I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate your efforts. I'm terrible with thank yous so I'll just let this be my thank you."
I tossed everyone a stack of money, Lachlan didn't catch his, which made me laugh at him. He stuck his tongue at me in return.
"Awe Preston you didn't have to do this, man I would have helped you regardless of you paying me."
"Yeah, dude don't worry about paying me I was just happy to help."
The guys nodded and threw the cash back at me. Stacks of money hit me from from every direction making me almost lose my footing.
"I would feel bad if I didn't pay you guys for your help."
I again threw the money back at them which they every quickly threw back at me.
"TAKE IT."
"NO."
"TAKE IT!"
"NO!"
"TAKE IT OR I'LL TACKLE YOU!"
The money that was once in neat stacks of money were now messed up. It was all over the floor. Frick, these guys are so stubborn.
"DOG PILE ON PRESTON!"
Wait what!? Before I could say anything the boys started jumping on me like. I can't even see who jumped on me first but I think it was Rob. Laughter, bills, and Bodies was the only think I could see.
"GET OFF OF ME!"
"What's the magic word?"
"My ribs are breaking."
"Nope, that's four words."
I could feel myself starting to laugh along with the guys. Man theses guys are a bunch of idots. But their awesome idots.
