a big thanks to wkukluver for my first review!
brendon woke up the next morning on his back with ryan clinging to his side. he rolled away from the sleeping ryan. he sat, his back against the couch. brendon ran a hand through his black slightly dirt hair. the sunlight poured white and hot through the living room windows.
brendon's eyes were heavy and his head throbbed. he basically felt like shit run over twice. but it was always that way when he got up in the morning. the morning was the only time in the day he was sober. it was the time that brendon really felt like the way he used to be, but now he needed something to make himself feel normal. he took one last look at ryan who was still asleep on the floor before he went to snort some coke.
brendon only shook a little after snorting the cocaine. ryan woke up about an hour later and followed brendon around the small house as he made breakfast for the two of them. fifteen minutes later ryan was eating happily and brendon looked out the pulled up shades and saw spencer sitting on the porch outside. seeing spencer suddenly reminded brendon that the cops had said that they were going to come back today.
brendon felt that same slight panic rise in his chest as he thought about the gun that was now settled in the bottom drawer of the nightstand in his room. the same gun he had killed brent with. he knew he had to get rid of the gun and he knew who to call to do just that.
brendon stood in the bathroom as ryan proceeded to play with his pancakes. he found himself smiling as the phone on the other end picked up.
"this is gabe." the smooth voice said.
"gabe, it's brendon." brendon said, his voice dropping low.
"what's up bren?" gabe asked and brendon could picture him smirking over the phone.
"gabe...i got a problem...i-i need to get rid of something." brendon said as he pushed the bathroom door shut in the fear that ryan would hear.
"oh? what would this something be dear brendon?" gabe asked in a playful tone and brendon knew he was smirking.
"a-a handgun." brendon admitted to him. there was a small silence on the line and brendon waited patiently for gabe to answer.
"yeah, alright i'll be there in an half hour...you better be ready." gabe said and brendon nodded even though he knew gabe couldn't see him.
"alright, gabe i'll see you soon." brendon said as he hung up the phone and left the bathroom. he passed by the kitchen where ryan sat at the table still eating his breakfast. ryan smiled at brendon as he passed him to go into his bedroom.
brendon knew that it was no coincidence that the police had showed up at his house yesterday, he knew they must've found brent. he kneeled down in front of his black nightstand and pulled open the bottom drawer, he then grabbed a pillow off his bed and stripped it of it's case.
he then lifted the gun gingerly and dropped it into the empty pillowcase. he tied the case back up and tucked it back into the bottom of the nightstand drawer.
brendon then went into the living room and flicked on the television. the news was on just as brendon had predicted. the news anchor on the tv was rambling on about some new bill being passed that brendon really didn't care about. he turned to glance at ryan before he heard the news story switch.
"police are still investigating the case of the teenaged boy, whose body was found in the abandoned west bank of burbury park." the newcaster said.
brendon's brain froze up as he listened to the newscaster, he realized in that moment that brent was dead...he had died yesterday and brendon had killed him. it was offical, brendon was a murderer and the police were already on his case.
brendon turned away from the tv and walked back to the kitchen, he picked up ryan's empty plate and put it in the sink. turning on the water, he tried to take his mind off of the police that he could almost picture racing towards him that very moment. he just prayed that gabe got to his house before the police could.
thinking of gabe brendon suddenly wondered what he would do with ryan when he left with gabe? he could easily put ryan back in his room and lock him there like he had done the day before but it didn't bode well with the guilt he was already feeling. he also didn't want to leave ryan because if the police came and saw him there...it wouldn't be good.
brendon sat in the living room on the couch with ryan sitting on the floor. brendon was wating anxiously for gabe to show up, he found his heart beating quickly and it could've been because of the cocaine but it was probably nerves.
ryan turned around and looked at brendon, he was grinning and brendon tried to smile back. in a way ryan was lucky because he didn't have worries, he didn't have to deal with the crushing perils of everyday life. all ryan had to do was have someone to take care of him and as long as brendon was around he would have that.
brendon watched as ryan scooted across the floor towards him, ryan stopped before brendon and put his hands up on brendon's knees. ryan pulled himself up and pressed himself between brendon's legs, he pressed his head to brendon's chest and clung to his body. this was something else ryan needed, near constant attention from brendon.
it was tiring but brendon was all ryan had. ryan's mom had died back when brendon and ryan were in fourth grade and ryan was taken care of by his dad, then ryan's dad died when they turned sixteen. ryan had no other close family, no siblings, he had nothing but brendon. it was from that day that ryan started living with brendon. now that ryan was damaged...he couldn't just turn his back on him.
"lov-love brendon." ryan said as he clung to brendon.
"love you too ryan." brendon said as he patted ryan on the head.
gabe showed up an half hour later just as he had promised, he usually kept to his word. he approached the door and brendon answered. there stood gabe decked out in a white suit with matching shoes, his dark curly hair shining in the morning light.
gabe grinned his handsome smile at brendon as he leaned against the doorframe. "you ready to go brendon?" he asked and brendon nodded.
"i just gotta get the thing." brendon told him as he headed back to his bedroom. he came back out a few moments later with the pillowcase in hand. gabe motioned for him to head out the door. "ryan, come on. we're leaving for awhile." brendon said to ryan who was watching gabe with a mix of shyness and curiousity.
gabe shot a look of surprise at brendon. "you're bringing him?" gabe asked. brendon nodded as he looked back at ryan who was now scrambling towards brendon.
"yeah, i am. it's too dangerous for him to stay alone." brendon told him and gabe nodded and grinned a sly sort of grin.
"well, let's go then." gabe said as he turned and headed out the door. brendon tucked the pillowcase under his arm and grabbed ryan's arm guiding him out of the house. the three of them climbed into gabe's white sports car, gabe driving and brendon in the front seat while ryan sat in the back.
"so what'd you do brendon?" gabe asked as he pulled out of brendon's driveway. brendon shifted the pillowcase on to his lap and looked back at ryan before he turned to gabe.
"i killed someone gabe." brendon confessed and it felt as if a weight had been lifted from his chest. gabe didn't say anything just looked over at brendon.
brendon knew that gabe wasn't surprised by his confession, gabe had deals with all kinds of shady people who comitted all kinds of sins. it had been gabe himself who had gotten brendon the gun that he was now perpairing to get rid of.
"you killed that kid in the park?" gabe asked, his dark eyes flickering over brendon's face. brendon nodded and gabe let out a slow sigh. "this gun thing better not come back to me brendon." gabe warned as the car pulled into the parking lot of a back alley of a storage unit.
"it-it won't gabe." brendon said even though he wasn't sure if it was the truth. they stopped the car and brendon told ryan to stay in the backseat. gabe and brendon stepped out of the car, the gravel crunching under their feet.
gabe led brendon down the long row of storage units, the tall doors pulled down and labeled with huge red numbers. they walked down the streach of land silently, they rounded the corner and stopped at the third storage unit down.
gabe pulled a key out of his pocket and unlocked the grate. brendon leaned down and pulled it up for gabe. the light from outside poured into the unit and a stale smell washed over the two men. gabe motioned for brendon to follow him into the unit, they pulled the switch making warm yellow light pour over them.
inside brendon could see many things sitting in the unit. bags and boxes filled with things that brendon wasn't sure he wanted to know what was inside them. gabe walked back to a huge brown oak dresser that sat back against the back wall. he looked strange, all fancy and dressed in white. it was almost like he was some otherworldly vision...like brendon's gaurdian angel or something, but if that was the case then gabe was the most corrupt angel he had ever seen.
brendon followed gabe, his head hung low and his heart nervous. gabe pulled open the top drawer and took the pillowcase from brendon. he dropped the case into the drawer and pushed it closed. gabe and brendon clicked off the light and headed back outside, they locked up the grate and headed back to the white sports car.
brendon left the storage unit, his nerves eased and his body jittering for his next fix.
