"Stupid." I smiled as I sat down beside JJ, both of us watching as my older brother balance on the roof with one foot; a beer in his hand. Concentration on his mind.
"That's what, a three-story fall to the deck? I give you about a one in three chance of survival." Pope spoke up, eyebrows squinted. I don't know if it was because the sun was shining, or because he was trying to get a better look at John B.

"Should I do it?" John b questioned, looking between the three of us and waiting for some kind of approval or an answer of some kind.
"Do a backflip!" I said loudly, my eyes wide and my voice excited. I was excited up until the point JJ decided that it would be a good idea to wrap his arm around my shoulder.
Our relationship/friendship was complicated, to say the least. We weren't dating, we had never kissed but we both had feelings for each other and we both knew that. We knew we couldn't act on our feelings because of that rule, no Pogue on Pogue macking. Even if it wasn't for that rule, i don't think that I and him would be a good idea.

"Yeah, jump. I'll shoot you on the way down." Pope said while holding a drill up and pointing it at John B, pretending that he was or was going to shoot him.
"Your gonna shoot me?" John b questioned Pope in a playful voice. The smile still sat on my face, these were my boys. My brothers, my friends.

"They are going to have toilets with towel warmers," Kie spoke with a tone of disbelief, walking out of the house we had invaded.
"Of course, why wouldn't they?" Pope responded, looking at Kie as if she was dumb for even asking that question.

"How bout we just eat the rich?" I said and then giggled as Kie gave me a look of hurt. "Not you, Kie." I continued, making sure that my friend knew that I didn't want to eat her.
"This use to be a turtle habitat but who cares about the turtles?" Her face held a sour look as she talked, obviously upset at the fact that someone rich had bought the turtle habitat and was turning it into a house.

"Well, i can't exactly have cold towels now can I?" Pope responds, mocking her.
"Can you please not kill yourself?" Kie said, ignoring pope and looking at John b who was still standing on the roof.
"Don't spill that bear, I'm not giving you another one," JJ explained to John b; removing his arm from me so he was able to lean onto the scaffolding in front of him. I looked at him as he sipped his beer. I just enjoyed looking at him; he had an elegant face. A face that the tourons swooned over but his personality and loving but sometimes harsh nature are what made him; him.

I chugged down the rest of my beer, throwing the empty can at John B. He just flinched and gave me a glare, I looked away and just pretended that I hadn't done it.
A gust of wind came, causing the brunette on the roof to wobble and drop his beer. It was just a few seconds after JJ had told him not to.
"You jinxed him!" I exclaimed, looking at JJ.
"Of course you did" JJ just shook his head while laughing, everyone else rolling their eyes as John B groaned about the beer that had been so tragically lost. Such a short life, not yet fully lived.

"Smooth." Kie joked around, a little smirk covering her tan face.
"A+," Pope said, looking towards the road. "Hey, uh, securities here! Let's wrap it up!"

"The boys are early today," JJ stated, eyes following me as I stood up and slid down a pole.
"Let's go," Kie said, looking for the rest of the group; seeing if they were going to move.

"Hey, Gary! Is that you?" JJ spoke loudly. A smile on his face, "Gary! good to see you, man!" JJ continued. Sometimes I think JJ truly does think it's a good thing to see him. We loved Gary, we just didn't love the fact that he was trying to catch us and have us arrested, or whatever he does.
"Hi Gary!" I decided to help JJ out, maybe we were bullying Gary. Maybe we weren't, maybe we were just showing him our love and application while trying to run away from him. Who really knows?
I followed right behind JJ, the security guard had missed me by a second but was closer to getting JJ; but JJ being the expert at running from cops and security managed to wiggle his way out of it.

"Go, Pope, Go!" JJ whooped. I laughed as we jumped over the fence, wondering if Pope was okay when I saw that he landed on his face. Maybe JJ needed to teach Pope how to jump fences? but at this point; after the countless amount of times that we had run away from cops you'd think that pope would manage to fail at jumping a fence every time.

"Get up Pope, fatso's coming!" JJ exclaimed while helping me help Pope up. We all whooped and made unrecognizable noises as we ran towards my brother's van. Some people would describe it as a hippie van, maybe even a predators vehicle. But to us, it was basically our only way to get places.
"The bus is leaving!" John B yelled out as we neared. I jumped into the van after JJ. We all laughed and chuckled as we drove away.

Gary was yelling something as he ran after us but I wasn't paying attention. "Check out Gary! gunnin for a raise." We laughed with Pope.
"Come on Gary! You can do it!" I encouraged him. I hope that one day he truly does manage to catch up to us. I think it might just be a dream come true for him.

"You're going to give him a heart attack," Kie spoke.
"You're so close, you can do it! there you go!" JJ kept egging him on. Throwing an empty beer can at him. "They don't pay you enough bro!"

"JJ, Stop" Kie tried to get him to stop.
"Oh, come on! this sort of initiative is just begging to be punished. JJ laughed as I nodded my head, agreeing with him.
I looked out at the sights, just observing everything as John B drove back to our house.

The scenery around us made me truly realise how precious life was. I don't think that I had ever been in a better place, but was I happy? No. Life was perfect and I had every reason to be happy but I still wasn't.
I looked over at JJ poking Pope and a smile instantly found itself on my face. I was thankful for my friends, and my brother. It's one big family, always protecting each other.
We didn't often say we loved each other, but I think that deep down we all know.
