Let's Kill Tonight (Ryden)

Chapter 12

*trigger warning: suicide*
"George Ross to the office, please. George Ross to the office." I cringe at the name over the intercom. I walk to the office with thoughts swimming in my head. What if someone overheard Brendon and I in the bathroom?

I walk to the front desk to see two policemen standing next to it.

"George, there's been an incident in your home. I understand your guardian, George Ross, is the only one who lives with you, yes?" I nod silently.

"Well, sir. He's attempted suicide." My face drops.

***

There's flashing blue and red lights surrounding my house. The police car I'm in pulls over to the curb and I see an ambulance car drive past us.

Turns out my dad shot himself in the head. So no, he didn't attempt suicide, he succeeded suicide.

I just sat around the hospital, with nothing to do. I'm numb. Nothing anyone can say or do will make me feel anything.

I pull out my phone to see I've missed multiple calls and texts from Spencer.

'lucky bitch u left early'

'y?'

'what happened??'

'ryaaaannn'

'wtf is going on'
 
I felt bad and wanted to call him back, but I just didn't feel like talking.

'I'm at the hospital' I simply reply.

'on my way'

***

I hear the squeak of sneakers against the hospital floor near me. I suddenly feel a warmth by my side when Spencer sits on the floor next to me.

"He did it." I speak up. My voice is small.

"They told me."

I say nothing.

"I'm sorry." He says.

"Why? He did it."

He says nothing.

"He never even talked. He never did anything. What could be wrong when you're just sleeping all day?"

"Maybe that's what was wrong." He shrugs.

I still have yet to cry. Maybe that's bad, but it's almost not sad to me.

Then I hear more squeaks. I look at the floor farther away from me and see wrecked converse that are almost grey from the dirt and dust.

"Are you okay?" I look up and see Brendon. My heart begins beating again. What is this kid doing to me? He can show up at any moment and there goes my heart rate.

"I'm fine." He seemed relieved.

"What happened?"

"Long story. Can you just- sit with me?" I shrug. He nods and plops down on the hospital floor next to me. Spencer stands up.

"I'll just leave you two alone." Dammit Spencer, ruin the moment, why don't you?

~A/N: Sorry for the shortness and maybe the little depressing-ness (?) of this update. I've been feeling weird lately and I needed a little change in this story. Just to make this story somewhat different than just a typical Ryden story. Hope you enjoyed.
