The next morning I woke up bright and early at 7am to get to work at Sarah's. Me and a couple other guys were cleaning her pool and the area around it and her father, Ward came outside. I was a little anxious if he was going to notice the missing scuba gear or not, but he barely used it anyway so I tried to calm myself. As I was wrapping up around 10 am Sarah came outside with a coffee in her pajamas. She saw me briefly and awkwardly smiled. I awkwardly smiled back and left. The squad all met at my place and we hopped on the boat with the gear. When we got back to the same area, JJ decided he could go get it. As we were just finishing getting him set up, we heard a power boat driving by and looked up to see Sarah and the dick Topper driving by. "Shit, go under now JJ." I said. JJ quickly jumped into the water and Topper slowed down his boat as he was approaching. I looked down into the water and JJ was swimming quickly. Pope started pacing around and Kie was looking under. Topper slowly stopped when his brand new $20,000 boat got right next to ours and Sarah lifted her sunglasses and judgmentally stared us down. "What are you doing over here Pogues?" Topper yelled at us. "What are you doing over here?" I replied. "Oh come on, you know this is kook speed boating territory." Topper shouted. "Speedboating in a nature preserve? You know all the birds that live on these little islands?" Kie shouted back. "Oh noo, gotta save the birds." Topper said in a sarcastic tone. He put his arm around Sarah and she squirmed around. Kie looked overboard at JJ in the water and Topper shouted "What are you looking at? The turtles?" Kie rolled her eyes and said "Shut your fucking mouth." "Ooh, she's getting heated now." He replied. "Can you please shut your fucking mouth and drive out of here?" I said. Topper spat and it hit the side of our boat. "Get the fuck out of my territory." Topper said. "You get out." Pope shouted back. I looked down and realized JJ's air tank was probably starting to run out because it wasn't completely full. I looked to Pope and Kie with a concerned face and Kie said "I'm gonna make a call in to the nature rehabilitation center I volunteer at and tell them about you running your speed boat through here if you don't leave right now." "And what are they gonna do about it?" He replied. "Topper can we please stop bugging them?" Sarah asked. He rolled his eyes and Kie pulled out her phone and took a photo of his boat. "I have photographic evidence you were here, with that sign behind you. Thats at least a $500 fine." Kie said. "Fuck you." Topper said as he quickly started his boat. He sped off so fast Sarah fell back and he didn't even bother to see if she was okay. As soon as he was in the clear JJ popped up from the water. When we got him back on the boat he was out of breath and said "What the hell was that? I almost ran out of air." "Topper being a dick, now did you find my bracelet?" Kie said. "Yeah yeah." He said as he handed it to her. Her face lit up for two seconds and then switched to looking like her mom died. "Its broken." She said. "Yeah it got stuck to a piece of wood down there and it separated." JJ said. Kie looked like she was gonna cry and she said "Now it's completely useless." I wrapped my arm around her and said "Don't worry Kie, we'll fix it." The next morning I had to return the gear and I decided to go by myself. The tank was a lot lighter now so it wasn't too bad but I had to run quick because I saw Rose outside watering the plants. It was my day off so I had no good excuse either, but I knew the longer I had it the worse it would get. I got on to the larger boat where I got it from and stared at the speedboat parked next to it and thought how much money that thing must have cost. I walked inside and saw Sarah asleep on the tiny couch. I quietly tried to open the door to the lower floor, but she squirmed around on the couch and muttered "Topper no don't leave, I'm I'm sorryy." I looked at her and let out a laugh and she quickly sat up and said "John B?" "What are you doing here?" "Uh, nothing." I replied. She looked down at the gear and said "What are you doing with our gear? I thought it was your day off." "Uhum, I kinda borrowed it." "You stole it?" Suddenly she coughed and then started throwing up. I ran over and gave her a trash can. "Are you okay?" I asked. "I'll be fine." She said, throwing up still. "You don't look alright." I said. Her hair was getting in her face and I pulled it back for her and sat down next to her. "Wow thanks." She said sarcastically. I handed her a paper towel and she said "This is really embarrassing." "It's okay," I replied,"Are you sure you're okay? You might wanna drink some gatorade to cure your hangover." "I've had plenty of hangovers before John B. Look if you keep quiet about this I'll keep quiet about you stealing our gear." I said "It was borrowed." As I put it down below and quickly ran off the boat, her waving to me when I shut the door. I realized she wasn't even wearing shorts and I laughed and quickly ran outta the place. She was a complete mess but hey, she was kinda cute. The next day I had to go back to Sarah's place for work and we were trimming tree branches when Sarah's dickhead brother Rafe came outside and started yelling at me and my bud Sam saying "I put a note on the fucking tool shed that I wanted my car washed and no one did it. And now I have to go to a high class event with a dirt covered white car." I was trying my hardest not to laugh and I said "Look dude, I never saw a note." "Yeah well I saw you taking my scuba gear the other day, and I don't think my dad would be to pleased to find out." I pushed my hair back and thought how much of a shit show this was turning in to. "You can tell your dad whatever you want but I never saw a note." I said as politely as possible. "Oh fuck you." He said as he stormed off. "Dad!" he yelled. Ward came outside and said "What now Rafe?" "This motherfucker over here stole our scuba gear the other day and he didn't wash my car." Ward looked mad and my heart was now racing. I got paid good money that I needed from the Cameron's, and the anxiety was starting to set in. "Is this true John B?" he said as he was walking closer. "I borrowed it, but I returned it a day later. Look I'm really sorry but I needed it for something, and that air was old anyways, you wouldn't want any of your family using it." "Look John B, its not that you borrowed it, its that you didn't tell me. Everything starts with honesty, and you broke the trust in our relationship." "Please Mr. Cameron, I need this job." I said, now pleading. "I'm sorry John B but you're fired." he said. I threw down the cutters I was holding and stormed off the property to my car.
