brendon stood in his kitchen with his cell phone in hand. he had patrick's number dialed on the phone but he couldn't bring himself to hit the call button. he wanted to do it but it was getting pretty late now. almost eleven at night and he knew that patrick didn't get out of work till midnight. why a bookstore needed to be open till midnight, brendon didn't know but he didn't want to spring the news while patrick was at work.
so instead brendon made himself and ryan some late dinner and he sat lackluster infront of the tv while the latest nonsense dribbled on before him. brendon knew he had done the right thing in breaking up with pete. the relationship obviously wasn't healthy, it wasn't really good for anyone. brendon wanted to be glad that he did the right thing but there was one slight problem. he still fucking loved pete.
even when brendon was telling pete that he didn't want to see him anymore, even when he saw the deep hatred in pete's eyes when he threatened to tell patrick. even then brendon's heart was calling out for pete. even in that moment brendon still wanted pete.
brendon did remember something that pete had said in the shed earlier, before they had begun fighting. he had suggested that brendon not keep his drugs in the shed. brendon thought that maybe the cops would search the shed but now he was more worried that pete was going to call the cops on him.
he knew he had to move the drugs somewhere else now. somewhere the cops wouldn't be able to find and somewhere that pete didn't know about. brendon thought about maybe buring the box in the backyard...no, that was a stupid idea. he sighed because in the back of his mind he knew all along who he needed.
brendon left ryan in the living room and he headed back to his bedroom. he was still reluctant to call gabe. no, it wasn't exactly gabe's fault that ryan got raped but still seeing gabe would no doubt bring back those memories of that horrible night. but brendon knew that he needed gabe's help so he called anyway.
it took two rings before gabe anwsered.
"brendon, i haven't heard from you in quite some time." gabe said lightly into the phone.
"yeah, i know sorry. i've been kinda busy." brendon muttered out the excuse. he wondered if gabe already knew about what had happened to ryan. whether he did or not brendon was being extra careful not to mention ryan or travis and he could only hope that gabe would do the same.
"it seems like you only call me when you need something." gabe started. his voice was always so calm, so in control like nothing could touch him and brendon wished that he could be like that.
"maybe i just called to say hi?" brendon mused. gabe gave a little laugh and brendon was glad that gabe had a good sense of humor.
"well then hello brendon. do you need something?" gabe asked, his voice going more playful.
"actually i do..." brendon began. despite not seeing gabe for a while he was still afraid that asking him this favor would be too much, he was always worried about asking too much of gabe. gabe was a powerful guy, he didn't want to have to owe him very much.
"what is it brendon?" gabe asked, his voice calm once again. in the background brendon could hear the honking of a car horn.
"the cops have been coming around gabe...one of them is ryland, the other is a guy named tom. but they said that they'd be back with a warrent and i have a box of drugs in my shed." brendon confessed, he sorta felt like a kid telling their parents that they get picked on at school.
"ryland eh?" gabe said sounding far more interested in brendon's plight now that ryland was involved. "so, you need me to hide the stash?" gabe guessed and brendon gave him a small "yeah."
gabe was silent and brendon could hear that same sound of a car horn honking and muted voices.
"uh, gabe? what are you doing?" brendon asked. his mind raced with various illegal activites that gabe could be doing.
"i'm driving around with william. listen brendon, we're in your area so we're coming to get you and your stash, so be ready." gabe told brendon. gabe's voice had gone oddly serious and brendon knew he meant business.
"alright, thanks gabe." brendon said and he knew he sounded releaved.
"yeah, yeah, pretty soon you're gonna start owing me kid." gabe said with a laugh as he hung up. brendon hung up his phone, he thought that gabe was kidding about brendon owing him but it was always too damn hard to tell with gabe.
brendon set his cellphone down in the bathroom on the counter and went to find his sneakers. ryan was still up and he noticed brendon and stood up. he grabbed brendon from behind and wrapped his arms around brendon's waist. brendon kept walking despite ryan clinging to him, slowly ryan let go of brendon and walked along softly behind him.
"whe-where-go-go-going-bren-brendon?" ryan asked. he came around to brendon's front and peered at him, big brown eyes all innocent and childlike.
"outside, ry." brendon said and he smiled at the older boy because he knew that ryan needed that kind of affection, he needed to know that brendon paid attention to him. brendon slid outside with ryan following him. the grass was cool and damp and the night air was warm. the moonlight washed down over the backyard as brendon and ryan made their way to the shed.
quiet surrounded the two boys as brendon unlocked the shed and stepped inside, with ryan watching curiously from the yard. brendon didn't turn on the light this time, he knew where the box was by memory and he didn't want to risk drawing more attention to himself then he needed to.
he pulled the box out and set it in the damp grass next to him before he locked the shed back up. again ryan was watching him curiously but he was far too innocent to know what brendon was doing. the duo headed back to the house, brendon setting the box down by the door.
ryan still lingered around brendon, almost afraid to stray too far away from the boy. brendon moved in close to ryan and took him gently by the wrist. ryan looked up, brown eyes shinning bright and a small little smile on his face.
"listen, ryan, brendon is leaving for a little while." brendon told him softly as he looked out the window, watching for gabe's car.
"bren-bren-leavi-leaving?" ryan asked, his voice small. brendon nodded and released ryan's wrist. "ry-ryan-com-come?" ryan asked and brendon shook his head, his hair falling down into his eyes. ryan frowned and he looked sad. brendon sighed because it was often like dealing like a child when dealing with ryan.
"look ryan, brendon needs you to stay here so you can protect the house." brendon was lying to ryan. he was trying to make him feel better. in that moment he had more important issues on his mind then keeping ryan happy. yeah, it was selfish but it was the truth.
ryan nodded as if he understood what brendon was saying. brendon brought his hand up to ryan's face, he cupped the older boy's cheek and smiled warmly at him. he wasn't sure if it was because he had just broken up with pete but something about right now made him appreciate that he had ryan in his life, that he wasn't all alone, he wasn't alone like pete had said.
brendon spotted the flash of bright white lights from his window. he turned away from ryan and saw a white car rolling quickly up to his house. the car stopped out infront of brendon's house and gave a swift honk. brendon went to the door and lifted the box into his arms.
"i'm leaving, ryan." brendon said as he looked back at ryan who was standing near the window. if he really wanted to he could bring ryan along with him but he didn't know, he didn't know how being in gabe's car and seeing gabe again would affect ryan. so brendon thought it was better that ryan just stay at home where he was safe.
when brendon came out he saw that william was leaning against the trunk of the clean white sports car. his arms wre folded but he was grinning at brendon all the same. gabe sat in the driver's seat, he was wearing his white suit as usual. gabe gave brendon a small wave that brendon really couldn't recipercate due to the box in his arms.
"back here brendon." william said. he motioned for brendon to come around to the trunk of the car. william propped the trunk open as brendon came around and set the box down inside it. william slammed the trunk before he threw an arm around brendon's shoulder's and led him to the car.
brendon expected william to sit in the front seat alongside gabe and that he'd be the one to sit in the back but instead william climbed into the backseat and turned, streching his long legs along the length of the backseat.
"get in brendon." gabe said as he patted the black leather seat. brendon climbed into the car and pulled the heavy door shut before gabe was speeding off along the streets.
"so, ryland is really snooping around on you?" gabe asked, he glanced from the road to brendon and back to the road.
"yeah, him and that tom guy." brendon anwsered as he watched the black shiny road infront of them. he didn't really know where gabe was taking him, he was tempted to ask but trusted gabe enough to know that gabe would never steer him wrong.
"their coming around because of brent aren't they?" gabe said and brendon nodded and wished that gabe wouldn't bring up brent infront of william. "don't fear little bren-bren. i'll talk with ryland and see if they'll leave you alone." gabe said with a smile. brendon looked over at him and wanted to believe that gabe had that power, the power to prevent murder.
"thanks gabe, i don't really know what'd i do without you." brendon mumbled out. he wasn't sure but whenever he got around gabe he ended up feeling like a little kid, like he was helpless while gabe held all the cards.
"it's fine bren, like i said you'll just owe me." gabe said with a slight wink and again brendon was confused as to whether or not gabe was serious.
brendon eyed the bright green glowing numbers on gabe's car clock. it was a little after midnight. brendon's heart leapt up in it's chest a bit. patrick was out of work by now, brendon could call if he wanted, he could call and end the best thing that ever happened to pete.
brendon dropped his hand into his pocket and searched for his cell phone. he didn't find it in either pocket and he cursed softly.
"what's wrong brenny?" gabe asked as he watched brendon.
"it's nothing, i fucking forgot my cellphone at home." brendon said. he dragged his hand through his hair, upset that he couldn't call patrick.
"what do you want your cell for anyway?" william asked from the backseat and brendon could feel his long fingers dragging across the back of his neck. brendon sighed and leaned into the cool glass of the window.
"it's not really important i guess. i was just going to call patrick." brendon said.
"patrick? but i thought you were with pete?" william asked. he pushed himself up to lean between gabe and brendon's seats.
"no, not anymore...pete and i broke up earlier today." brendon muttered not really wanting to tell william but at the same time he did. william was smart and brendon hoped that maybe he had some words of wisdom to share with brendon.
"ah, really? so then you're moving on with patrick?" willaim said, he had somehow turned his long body so that his head was resting close to brendon's legs.
"no, will. pete is with patrick, so i was gonna call patrick and tell him that pete was cheating on him." brendon told the two men. there was a silence before william let out a low whistle.
"doesn't matter. you're better off without him brendon." william said as he moved his hand up on brendon's leg and gave a light squeeze.
"way to be optimistic william." gabe said with a laugh. his large hand weaved through william's wavy brown hair. william grinned and ran is nimble fingers along gabe's hand.
brendon watched the two of them. for the most part gabe could easily be considered straight. he was dating vicky-t and was know to hook up with a number of ladies but it also seemed that he had a weakness for william beckett. william was just about the only guy in the world that gabe actually did anything with.
gabe made a sudden sharp turn and he braked quickly, gravel flying out from under his tires. brendon looked out the windshield to see a large metal sign that signified they arrived at their destination. it was a storage unit again, not the same because according to gabe, he never hit the same storage unit twice in a month.
"come on brendon." gabe said to the younger boy as he opened his door and climbed out, keys dangling limply in his hand. brendon exited the car while william moved back to stretch out in the backseat once again.
by the time brendon got out of the car gabe was already holding the box of brendon's stash. gabe moved through the open fence with brendon trailing along behind him. they walked far this time. the rocks crunching under their feet.
"gabe?" brendon started as they rounded a corner.
"yeah?" gabe asked, it seemed like he was only paying half his attention to brendon and the other half was paid to finding the appropriet storage unit.
"have-uh have you talked to travis lately?" brendon forced himself to ask. he really didn't want to bring up travis but at the same time he wanted to know if gabe knew what had went down in his house the last time they were there.
gabe stopped and peered up at the number on the unit in front of them. he shook his head and continued down the line of unit's. "no, i haven't heard from him in a while actually. why?" gabe asked as he looked back at brendon.
so brendon was guessing that gabe didn't know about what travis had done to ryan. brendon wasn't sure now whether or not he should tell gabe. maybe if he did gabe would stop catering to travis's drug needs though now it seemed that travis was getting his fix from somewhere else.
"last time i was over your place gabe...when i had ryan with me. i passed out and i guess you must've left?" brendon half asked, half stated. gabe nodded as they walked.
"yeah, i had some business to attend to." gabe said quietly and brendon didn't ask any questions about what kind of 'business' it was because he knew better then that.
"well, after you left i woke up and vicky was passed out and i couldn't find ryan." brendon continued. he could tell now that gabe was paying more attention to him then he had been minutes before. "so i-i figured that ryan was in your room with you and that maybe you were getting him high or something so i went in there and ryan was in there but he was with alex and travis." brendon said stopping himself before he blurted out what had happened to ryan.
"so?" gabe asked and brendon noticed that they had finally stopped infront of a unit and by the look on gabe's face it seemed like the right one.
"so, when i went in there...travis, he was fucking him gabe!" brendon half yelled. he watched gabe with sharp eyes, he desperately wanted gabe to feel that same deep burn of anger at travis that he did.
gabe turned and and looked brendon over, his face and eyes were serious. something that was truly uncharacteristic of gabe.
"he raped him gabe. travis raped ryan..." brendon said. his voice was small and weak and it almost felt like him saying it was like admitting that it happened.
gabe didn't say anything, he just set the brown box down at his feet and unlocked the unit with a shiny silver key. brendon didn't speak either, he was waiting, waiting for gabe.
"brendon, i'm sorry. travis-man travis hasn't been right in a while." gabe began. brendon noticed that he had yet to pull the grate up so brendon did it for him. after the unit was open gabe stepped inside. his shoes making a loud scraping noise against the dirty cement floor.
brendon didn't follow gabe inside this time. he didn't want to know where gabe was putting the stash. he figured if he didn't know, then he wouldn't feel so bad about lying to the police.
"he's doing all kinds of hardcore crazy shit..." gabe's voice floated back out to brendon and he knew that he was talking about travis again. "him and alex...he's doing all that shit like he used to do with ryan." gabe said as brendon heard a 'thump' presumably gabe dropping the box into it's hiding place.
hearing that travis was doing all the same things with alex that he used to do with ryan made brendon upset. travis had used ryan up, ruined him and filled him with the poisions that would be his downfall. and now that ryan was broken, he had moved on, he had moved on to alex.
brendon really didn't want to see alex turned into something like ryan. even though alex had helped travis rape ryan, no one deserved to turn into what ryan had become.
gabe emerged from the storage unit, his face still serious. brendon knew he was thinking about travis.
gabe and travis had been good friends for a long time. that's how brendon and ryan met travis, through gabe. william, travis, and gabe used to be something akin to the three musketeers. it was like that for a long while, it only changed when travis started hanging around other dealers, dealers who didn't have anyone's best interest at heart. travis was falling deeper into crazy shit that gabe didn't want to be a part of.
brendon thought that if something were to happen to alex, what would travis do? would he move on to someone else? some other unsuspecting victim that he'd drag down into his dark depths. brendon didn't think it was fair, that travis did the shit with other people and it was the other people who paid the price and never travis. but according to gabe travis was starting to slip.
"don't make excuses for him." brendon said to gabe as he pulled the grate back down and watched as gabe locked it back up. gabe shook his head softly.
"i'm not, what he did was fucked up brendon." gabe told brendon and again he had that same sort of serious tone in his voice. the two men moved back down the long lines of units. gabe towering over brendon as they walked. it was quiet and brendon appreciated that gabe saw travis as the bad guy.
"you sure know how to depress a guy bren-bren." gabe teased and brendon grinned. they made it back to gabe's sports car and climbed inside, still quiet for the most part. william who had been resting in the backseat perked up when gabe climbed back inside.
he moved up behind gabe's seat and wrapped his long arms around gabe's chest. williams fingers tracing small patterns in the white dress up shirt that gabe was wearing.
"where we going now gabe?" william whispered, his mouth near gabe's ear.
"somewhere less depressing." gabe said with his sly grin. he moved his own large hands up along williams arms once before he turned the ignition and william released him and they drove.
they drove quickly down the black streets, brendon really only paying half attention as he found himself lost in his thoughts. he was thinking about travis, he didn't want to think of the older man but he wondered, he wondered if travis ever cared about ryan, if he ever felt remorse for what happened. juding by the incident at gabe's place brendon didn't think so.
the car stopped fifteen minutes later and brendon looked up to see a glowing blue and pink neon sign illuminating before them. the sign read "pinky's cat club." and brendon looked over at gabe who was grinning wider then he'd ever seen. brendon sighed because they were at a strip club.
