Book 1 : an impossible year. | Ryden & Brallon

four - how it's going to be.

Ryan's pov:

i wake up and text beebo even though he's probably still asleep

me: good morning my beautiful boyfriend, I hope you slept well and that you have a day as wonderful as you ♡ (:

"Ryan, honey can you come downstairs" I hear my mom yell

"hey buddy, we're going to have a family day today!" my dad says with an obvious fake smile.

"oh uh o-okay, I'll go get dressed, I guess"

.
we end up going to the movies which they let me pick.

mom and dad are acting really weird though.

after the movie we go to eat at a restaurant of my choice, again.

it's not my birthday, or anything i'm honestly so confused I text my friends and they respond just as confused.

after eating we go bowling.

after bowling we get family pictures taken.

after that we get dessert of my choice.

after that we play mini golf and then go home.

I swear at one of the holes my mom and dad were arguing when I was out of sight.

.

"hey I just realized we have no milk, i'm going to the store to buy some more " my mom says suspiciously.

my dad comes into my room and sits on my bed.

here it is, whatever they were hiding.

"hey kiddo, there's something I need to tell you about mom and I-" he sighs

I put my phone down and sit up to look at my dad.

"we've been having uh problems, and we decided to ... for a bit... that we go to therapy from this amazing couple's therapist you're mom heard of..."

"im sorry, dad i hope it works out for you guys" i say with a sincere smile

"you see thats not all, your mother thought... it would be best for you.. to not be around to see us argue and she did some research... she uh she found a boarding school that she thinks would be a good option, but i promise this is only temporary"

"why boarding school?! I won't get to have Brendon pick me up for school anymore! I love my school I love Brendon and Spencer! why can't I live at home and just be at their houses all the time? you know their parents i'm sure they-"

"Ryan, bud, this therapist lives in England.. but the Beatles are British! and you love them!" he tries to cheer me up

"ENGLAND?! ARE YOU INSANE?! how am I going to see Brendon and Spencer?!"

"i'm sure you can video chat, and like I said it's only temporary, we'll probably be back in a couple months! I promise everything will work out ok? Ryan, I love you."

"h-how do I tell Brendon?"

"I don't know, he's not my boyfriend" my dad tries to make a joke to lighten the situation

"wow thanks dad"

"in all seriousness I don't know and Im sorry this is what it has come to, but you guys know each other so well, im sure you'll find the right words" he says patting my back and letting a big sigh before getting up.

I guess it's time to show bren Northern Downpour before I have to say goodbye.

I lay on my floor singing and thinking about how i'm going to tell beebo.

if all our life is but a dream,
fantastic posing greed,
then we should feed our jewelry to the sea,
