Anna sat outside Tim's house at three in the afternoon. Billy was gone to work and Tim was still at school. She climbed out of her car and walked up to the front door. She taped the envelope to the front door and walked back to her car. Skyler and Paul had decided to go with her to their aunt's house. She climbed back in the car and drove off towards Dallas.

Tim was sitting in the locker room. He had just changed out of his uniform and had his jeans on. 'Smash' walked in talking about seeing the scout being taken out of school in handcuffs. Coach Taylor walked into the locker room.

"This stops here. None of you know what the circumstances were and you are not going to spread rumors about with either. He has a family and I am sure you wouldn't want people talking about you parents, so you wont do that to them," said Coach.

He got a unison answer from the team before he walked into his office. Tim pulled on his shirt and walked out of the locker room. He jumped up in his truck and drove back to his house. He parked the truck in the driveway. He turned it off and jumped out, grabbing his bag out of the bed of the truck. Billy was home and was sitting on the couch watching TV and drinking a beer.

"Envelope on the bar for you," said Billy.

Tim tossed his bag in his room and grabbed a beer from the fridge. He grabbed the envelope off the bar and opened it. He unfolded the piece of paper and read what it said.

Tim, I meant what I said when I was going to live with my aunt. I need a change of scenery. Sky and Paul are going with me, so you will have to find some new freshman to pick on. I want to thank you and Billy for your hospitality, even though I didn't stay long. I over heard Billy talking to you about barely being able to afford the both of you, and I want you to have this as a token of my appreciation for everything you've done for, with my dad and everything. ~AnnaLeigh Carter

Tim folded the letter back and laid it on the bar. He looked in the envelope and pulled out a personal check from Anna as he took a sip of his beer.

"HOLY SHIT!" said Tim spitting his beer out.

"What?" asked Billy getting up.

Tim handed him the letter and had him read it first.

"So," said Billy.

Tim handed Billy the check to look at.

"HOLY SHIT!" said Billy. "Is she serious?"

"Yes, she is," said Kyle from the front door. "She wanted me to come by to tell Tim that he was to deposit the check in the back first thing Monday morning. And that if he doesn't I am supposed to do it for you."

"Can she afford this?" asked Billy.

"Yes. She has been saving her allowance money since she was five and half her paychecks for the past three years," said Kyle.

"Where the hell did she work?" asked Billy looking at the check again.

"She knew a lot about football and was an assistant scout with UT Knoxville," said Kyle.

Kyle turned around and walked back to his car. Billy took the check from Tim and signed the back of it.

'What are you doing?" asked Tim. "We can't take that money."

"Yes we can. Regardless of if you want to, she wants us to have it. We are set for the next two mortgage payments and groceries for the next who knows how many months, Tim," said Billy.

Tim sighed and walked into his room. He closed his door and fell face first into his bed. When she rolled over he saw another envelope taped to his bench press. He sat up and opened it.

Tim, don't be mad about the money. At least you will have all the beer you ever wanted. :^) I snuck in through the window to give you this letter. You should really think about getting that fixed. To me $5000 isn't much money. Unfortunately, I've grown up having money. As much as you've done for me that you didn't have to, that was my way of saying thank you. This is going to be my cell phone number if you want to call me sometime; (808) 555-9656. Don't call until next week, because I wont have it until then. I promise that I will make it to Dillon, Texas again soon. Thank you for everything. ~AnnaLeigh Carter

Tim typed the number in his phone and laid back on his bed with a smile on his face.

At least I will still have someway of talking to her, thought Tim.
