Time to Bond

12. Civil Chats and Water Fights

December 20, 5:20 PM (Yes I am going to start doing these)
"Um… Hey guys, what's up?" Ryan asked walked into Andy's and Dylan's room

"Ryan!" Darrion yelled with excitement while turning around in the chair she was sitting in. "Why are you here?"

"Darrion, I'm sure his here to talk to us, right?" Andy said

Ryan walked into the room and pulled up a chair next to Darrion, even if he didn't want to be there he wanted to try and trust these guys Darrion seemed to like so much.

"Righty-oh" Ryan replied putting a cheesy smile on his face

"Well, blondey you better only want to talk, because if you are here to insult me like last night, I'll will finish what I started" Dylan warned and Ryan swallowed remembering how strong Dylan was and how easy it would be for Dylan to hurt him.

"Now, Dylan, I'm sure Ryan isn't that stupid are ya boy?" Andy asked

Ryan took a glance from Darrion, her eyes said to not go any farther, but also not to let them walk all over him.

"No, I'm not; all I want to do is talk. Like civil human beings" Ryan said

Ryan saw Dylan face fall, his eyes looking at the floor.

"Well, that's good Ryan" Darrion said ending the awkward silence

"Sure, so what do you know?" Dylan asked glaring at Ryan

"Why can't I just want to talk?" Ryan asked giving the same glare back at him

"Um, guys…." Darrion said quietly barely audible

"Because, you think I'm gonna rat your little group here to the authorities or hurt your friend" Dylan said starting to get heat up

"Ryan" Darrion said again but neither heard her

"Whatever" Ryan said calmly, he was trying his hardest not to fight with this guy and get Darrion upset with him, because that was the last thing he needed right now

"Yeah, that's what I thought" Dylan bit back

"Alright!" Darrion said standing up trying to stop the soon to be fight "How about we just calm down"

"Fine" Dylan muttered

"Ok" Ryan said

"Good" Darrion let out a breathe "Listen, Dylan I don't want to showed noisy or anything, but please can you tell us what happen, or at least why you left in the first place?"

"That's my own business" Dylan stated

"Come on man, she said please" Ryan said trying to back up his friend

"Hear me very closely… I let for my own reasons now, I thought you guys take in anybody who needs help and I need help, so are you gonna kick me out if I don't tell ya?" Dylan asked

Ryan and Darrion looked at each other, they were both speechless

"No, we won't kick you out" Ryan said before Darrion could say what she wanted to say

"Good" Dylan said

"So, how about dinner? Watching all this fighting is getting me hungry!" Andy said entering the conversation, Ryan forgot he was in the room for a second

"I'll start it, Ryan can you help me?" Darrion asked standing up and walking to the door

"Yes sure will" Ryan said following her out and closing the door. They walked in silence until they reached the kitchen, far away from the boy's room

"Ryan, what changed your mind with talking to Dylan and Andy?" Darrion asked turning around looking up at Ryan

"I, well… ya know… wanted to me nice" Ryan said

"Really? Because earlier today you were very against it" Darrion told him

"A guy can change his mind" Ryan said trying to walk past Darrion, but she stepped in his way

"Yes, a normal guy can, you on the other hand don't"

"Darrion I'm appalled you think that way about me!" Ryan acted surprised letting out a fake gasp

"Oh you know perfectly why I think that, now tell me the real reason" Darrion said

Ryan once again tried to get past Darrion by pushing her out of the way, but she was strong then she looked and stood her ground, holding on to his biceps pushing him back. They fought like that for what felt like hours before Ryan gave up and threw his arms in the air while Darrion gave him a look of satisfaction.

"I win!" Darrion stated

"Only because I was always told to never fight with a girl" Ryan joked

"Because you couldn't win against one" Darrion shot back which both set them into a fit of laughter , and for that glimpse, that one little moment in time, Ryan felt like it was like old times again, like the past month and a half never happened

"Now come on Ryan, really what changed your mind?" Darrion asked

Ryan let out a big breathe "I just… I mean I wanted to… I-" Ryan said tripping over his words

"English Ryan, come on it's not that hard" Darrion told him a smile plastered on her face

"Very funny. It's just, you seem to trust these guys or at least one of them, and if you can trust them I want to try to trust them and maybe become friends" Ryan said a smile creped on his face, not like the cheesy smile he did before but a smile of a mix of embarrassment and hope

"Thanks Ryan, that means a lot" Darrion whispered and looked to the ground pink raiding from her cheeks

"You know me, I'm just that type of guy, thinking of everybody first" Now a cheesy smiled on his face with cheeks redder then the turtle neck he was wearing

"Oh, totally!" Darrion said sarcastically pushing Ryan's shoulder causing him to stumble back

"Hey!"

Darrion stuck out her tongue and ran to the opposite side of the kitchen

"What? Was that are you 3?" Ryan asked

"Maybe!" she giggled and then threw a glass of water at him, getting his whole head wet

"Oh… You. Are. Dead!" He warned her and grabbed the pitcher of water and chased her through the house laughing and acting like a bunch of five-year-olds.
