Herman O’Cabrón is typing…

When Rafe saw him again, he planned on slapping him upside his dumb head.

HERMAN O’CABRÓN: I’m sorry, but those are the rules. We can’t make exceptions. Not again.

HERMAN O’CABRÓN: Delete these messages.

Rafe wanted to scream, but he wouldn’t risk waking Garrett. He knew the rules and resented them.

How much more pain could he put Garrett through?

Rafe knew one thing. He wasn’t anywhere near done with his groveling.

Gym Rat Pack Group Chat

TOBIAS: Wear high socks today. We’re climbing ropes.

RILEY: You couldn’t text us that yesterday? At a normal human hour?

TOBIAS: I figured everyone was up anyway getting ready to come here. Also, I just decided.

COLE: Five am?? Bro, I need every minute I can get if I want to deal with teenagers all day after you kick my ass.

CHASE: cough cough told you cough cough

GARRETT: Love that subtlety of yours, Chase. Never lose it.

HUNTER: Tobias has to wake up extra early to get in another workout. Probably.

COLE: Freaking robot.

JOSH: You made Riley grumpy!

COLE: Just give him a blow job.

JOSH: Ooh great idea!

CARSON: Tobias, don’t make me hack your phone so you can’t text us this early.

GARRETT: Damn, you even broke Carson.

TOBIAS: Gonna set the ropes on fire while you’re all climbing them.

HUNTER: New challenge! Cole can go first.

COLE: Rude.

GARRETT: Ooh, thanks for the reminder about the upcoming mud run. Who’s excited?

CHASE: If climbing ropes of fire makes you think of it, then I think I just got less excited. What kind of race involves fire? No one told me about that part!

TOBIAS: Don’t worry, you can skip any obstacle you’re not comfortable with.

CHASE: Noooo, ugh, I’m going to do it. If you’re there with me I can handle it.

TOBIAS: ::happy face emoji::

COLE: Gag.
