Love Knots

Confronting The Enemy

9:48 P.M. Ryan's Home
  Immediately, after he got home, Ryan set his bags down, and then murmured, "Hi Mom, hi Dad...," he said to the dead, rotten, maggot filled, corpses of his parents. The corpses have been there for 2 months after he killed his own parents from insanity. He began to talk to himself, saying, "Yes mom, I cleaned the dishes, and I've already done my homework." He told himself, thinking his parents are still alive.  After several hours have passed, Ryan was beginning to lose his mind from not knowing what type of 'payment' Kassi meant to him. He started to walk back and forth in his room very quickly, waiting, just waiting for Kassi to text him back. It took more minutes until she finally texted him, with the text saying, "Hey, so now that we are in our own homes we can talk seriously, and we can talk about your business." The text said to him. "Well I want to know one thing. What is your type of payment I will get, and what type of payment do you need?'' Ryan responded to the text, very concerned about what he was going to get as his response. "Well first of all, my payment is in pictures of a male's undergarments. That is the only type of payment I will accept. If you do that, I can help you in any way you want." Ryan read the text Kassi had sent him as he was filled with disgust. "That's disgusting..." Ryan replied. "You're an ungrateful, parentless, crazy, psychotic, disgusting boy," She told him. "If you ever need my advice or help, talk to me. If you decide you don't need my help, ignore me. You have until the dance until your goody two shoes, Ashley, belongs to the prince charming Alec." Kassi texted Ryan, with that last message ending their short chat. Ryan started to question his decisions and his future choices. He went around his room, panicking, thinking, thinking what to do, thinking all night.
   Later, after many, many hours of thinking, he came up with his conclusion. He began to text Kassi at night, saying, "You know what, I'll play by your rules. I'll send you what ever you need for you to help me. You got yourself a new client." He told her, with him later going to sleep. Then he began to think, how he wants to spend his life, and his latest decision.

7:45 A.M. School Gym
As the began, Ryan walked into the school gym, waiting for the day to finally begin, he sat on the yellow and gray bleachers, and began to type down on his phone, "Today is just gonna be another plain boring day. Kassi hasn't responded to the text. Whatever, she most likely doesn't have the information I need to harm Alec. I wonder how Ashley is doing right now. Probably being dragged down by Alec if she is in the school right now." Ryan still typed in the notes of his phone, ranting about life, eating disorders, and sleep. Before he could type one more sentence Kassi finally sent a response to his text from last night, saying, "I'm glad your interested in my service. If you need my help, just remember, send me a clear picture of some boy's boxers, and I will help you in any way I can." Ryan looked at the text, utterly confused, and responded to the text, "Oh..right. But How do you expect me to take a picture of some random dude's boxers? I'd look like a lewd, flustered, gay boy if I do that! Which is what I am trying to avoid!" Ryan responded to Kassi. "Well, you'll have to figure it out. That would be your issue, not mine." She responded to him. Before Ryan could respond tot he text, the bell rang, causing him to put away his phone and walk to class.

12:22 P.M. 5th period, Language Arts
Ryan sat in his class, watching the clock, tick back in forth. He was wanting the class to end so he could go to lunch. The only way he could let time fly by was to write in his journal. He began to write his thoughts, "Sigh, only 8 more minute until lunch starts, I need to make up my mind. Taking a picture of some boy's undergarments is going to be weird and hard to do. But I need any and all information to stop him from getting Ashley. This is the worst thing I have done to myself. I mean, I could go out of the problem anytime by ignoring her, but that would be hard to do because then he could win her heart. If I could just come up with a different solution to this, then I could stop worrying about it all. Hmm...aha! I could befriend him, but that would be hard. I don't know. I'll make up my mind around lunch." He wrote in his journal, as the bell finally rang as he went to lunch.

12:33 P.M. Lunch Room
   As everyone sat at their lunch tabels, lunch finally started. Ryan, Jacobo, and Zeek sat together at their own table. They were all eating, when all of the sudden, Ryan's eyes caught Alec talking to Ashley. He noticed he made her blush and smile. This was bad for him. Ryan started to be infuriated just by looking at him. He quickly turned and ate his lunch. "Well how has your day been?" Jacobo asked Ryan. "Gloomy and horrible," Ryan responded. "I'll be right back," He told his friends as he walked up from the table, threw away his uneaten food, and walked towards Alec. "Hey, Alec, can I have a word with you?" Ryan asked Alec in a very firm way. "Um, sure," Alec responded as they both walked towards the bathroom. "So, do you wanna hang out tomorrow?" Ryan asked Alec. "Um sure. What time though? I have to get some stuff ready for the dance that's this week. Alec responded to Ryan. "Well whatever time suits you the best. Come on over when ever you need to." He told Alec. "Okay, sounds good!" Alec said to Ryan as they the parted their ways.
   Ryan walked towards his locker, grabbed his phone and walked away. He knew what he had to do know to stop Alec. "I need Kassi's help. She may be pathetic, weird, perverted, and secretive, but she is my only help. I know what I'm doing, but it's not going to be easy." He told himself as lunch finally ended and walked to the locker room, awaiting his next horrible choice.

Author's Note: Wow, long time since I have updated this darn book, hope you enjoyed this horrible mess. This was originally supposed to be two separate chapters, but I decided to mash them up for a bigger chapter. And I got an announcement! I am working on two new books! I'll give more information later on. But anyways, have a fantastic day, night!
