"There is no love without forgiveness, and their is no forgiveness without love" ~Bryant H Mcgill
Preston's pov:

"Where's Lachlan?" Jerome asked. We waited outside the back entrance of the school. "If he doesn't come, we're going without him!"
"We can wait guys, my house isn't going to go anywhere" Rob laughed. I spammed him nonstop for him to come.
"Yeah, but someone might come to take you back home" I grouched. "AUGH, HE ISN'T PICKING UP!" I threw my phone onto the concrete, but instantly regret it.
"Calm down, he'll come" Mitch assured as I checked my phone.
"DANG IT! ITS CRACKED!" I yelled as I threw my iPhone down in frustration again. "NO! Why do I keep doing that?" Now my phones fully cracked. My parents are going to kill me. I received a tex from Lachlan, or so I hope it was. I couldn't read it because of the scene.
"Karma!" Vik yelled as he laughed.
"Shut up guys, your going to give us away!" Mitch scolded us.
"What's it say?" Jerome asked. He extended his hand for me to take, I took it as I read.
"It says 'shut up, I'm coming, your guys are loud-' hey that's rude!" I gasped as I read it out loud.
"Hey guys, ready to go" Lachlan asked as he bounced next to us.
"We've been ready, It's you that were waiting on!" Jerome laughed as we started walking. I rubbed my phone and Lachlan looked at it.
"Anger texting?" He asked. This happens a lot. This is the third phone I've cracked this school year and it's only December!
"Yeah, you!" I shouted. He laughed and caught the attention of everyone. We all laughed because when Lachlan laughs, we all laugh. The walk to Robs treehouse is a long walk threw the woods. We laugh and joke, I look forward to this everyday after school. It's become our second home, Rob will let us sleep their sometimes. If we've had a bad experience at home one night, like me yesterday. My parents were to focused on my crying sister and annoying brother, they forgot about me, once again. We were texting in the group chat when rob offered to take me for the night when they didn't pay attention to me. I packed a clean pair of clothes, my toothbrush, and I picked up something from dinner to being over for us to eat that night. My parents were upset when I left, but I walked out and headed over here alone. I ended up at his treehouse around eleven PM and we ate. Even though Rob had one bed, we shared it. In the morning we walked to school.
"I'm hungryyyyyy!" I wined. It's a constant thing I do.
"Your alway hungry!" Jerome hit my head and laughed.
"Here, take my....I don't know what sandwich this is" Mitch always came up with weird sandwiches and I always ate them. Usually, Lachlan would eat half of it.
"This is mine, got that Lachlan!" I warned as I looked at the youngest.
"Uh-what?" He looked up from his thoughts and looked at me.
"I said that this is mine, not yours" I repeated.
"That's alright, I'm not hungry" Lachlan replied. This caught me shocked. After me for hungriest person, it's Lachlan. We never turn down food unless somethings wrong. He caught onto it. "I'm seriously not hungry, boys"
"Are you ok? You not hungry?" Rob raised his eyebrows.
"Who are you and what have you done with a Lachlan!" Jerome joked. Shaking the smaller, usually, both men would shake one another yelling gibberish. But Lachlan just shook Jerome off and gave him a fake smile, I've took acting classes with him and I can tell the difference between his real smile and fake one.
"I've just eaten a sandwich in Mr. Hendels class and I don't want to throw up. So don't shake me" he warned. They shrugged it off as the walked head of us. I munched on the sandwich, mmmmmmm. Avocado, pickles, mayonnaise and peanut butter! Yummmm!
"What's wrong, you can tell me you know" I insured as he kept looking back at something. "What are you looking-?"
"NOTHING!" He cried. This caught the attention of everyone. "nothing" he repeated, but this time more reticent.
"Are you sure your ok?" Rob felt the youngest forehead for any signs of an fever.
"I'm alright, let's just get to the treehouse" Lachlan taciturn. He kindly removed Robs arm, but rob wrap it around the towering males waist and then did the same to myself. We walked like this until we reached the treehouse.
"One by one...... be careful...don't place your foot their Jerome, you'll slip! We've been over this!" Rob ordered as we walked up the ladder. We laughed as we all sat down on the couch. Lachlan was looking over the edge of the treehouse, looking over the edge. I pushed myself off the couch to join Lachlan.
"Where you going?" Jerome asked as he took my spot.
"I'm going to talk to Lachlan" I answer. Mitch stood up as well, he told me that he was coming with me. We trudged over to Lachlan, he was looking down.
"Hey" Mitch greeted. Lachlan snapped up from his position.
"H-Hey, guys! Y-you know what? Let's g-g-go back inside!" He tried to convince us. I turned around to see the children in a tickle fight.
"Lets not go over their...it's...it's getting weird" I said as they turned to see the seen unfolding behind us.
"Awww" we cooed. The sight was adorable, Rob and Vik had Jerome pinned down as they tickled him.
"LACHLAN!" Someone roared. We snapped our attention towards the people below us. Their were cops and the principal "WHATS TAKING SO LONG?"
"Who's yelling?" Rob asked from the inside.
"Lachlan...." I began. I looked over at him, he was backing up towards the ladder.
"I-I'm sorry, guys" Lachlan ran down the ladder as the rest of the boys came to meet us outside.
"What is he doing?" Vik popped the question.
"I don't know..." I answered the best I could.
"Is that the cops?!" Rob wailed. Lachlan was talking to the cops and pointed up at us.
"He's not doing what I think he-" Jerome began.
"ROBERT, COME DOWN HERE! YOUR PARENTS ARE WORRIED" the cops demanded.
"WORRIED MY AS-" Rob tried to yell back
"COME DOWN HERE. OR WERE COMING UP THEIR!" Another yelled.
"LACHLAN! WHAT THE HELL?!" Jerome yelled.
"It was all part of the deal, boys! Don't threat!" The principal bellowed.
"Deal?" We asked together as our eyes wandered over to Lachlan. The police came up here and took Rob away. We were taken well and put into a car. Lachlan was seated with us as Rob was moved to a different car.
"Guys, listen-" Lachlan tried to communicate.

"Don't you think you did enough?"
