Smooth Criminal // Ryden

Promise

Brendon is always working. Which is good for him, but i get lonely sometimes.

Today was an especially boring day. I don't know why, but it was just extremely boring.

So i decided to go out.

Since i don't have a car, I just took the bus to the prison. I wanted to see Spencer. I promised him I'd visit.

I'm a lot of things, but I'm not a promise breaker.

It was weird being on the opposite perspective. I put my name down and waited in a chair that was placed in the lobby. I observed the people that surrounded me.

I notice a little girl, can't be older than 10, talking to her mother.

"Mommy, when is daddy coming home?"

"soon baby.. but he did a very bad thing. this is his punishment." she kept looking at her phone.

The poor kid looked down, she never wanted to see her father in here. And it was at this moment, that she lost her innocence.

"George Ross?" i heard the guard yell. I flinched at the name.

I stood up and watched the girl stare at me as i walked. I went to the desk seeing what the guard had to say.

He just explained the process to me and sent me to the back where I would see Spencer.

It's been a month since i've been out of the prison, and this is my first time seeing him.

God i hope he's doing well.

I sat in the booth for a hot minute until i saw him walking out, smiling like an idiot.

But i couldn't help it and did the same.

Once Spencer is seated, we both bring the receivers to our ears.

"the day has finally come." spencer began.

"what?"

"i've been waiting every day for a visit from you, and today is finally the day." he's got a big shitty grin on his face. how many drugs did Pete give this kid?

"um, sorry. i just haven't really found time." that's a lie, i spent the past month hanging out on Brendon's couch not looking for a job. But i'm not completely useless. I clean up the house, do a lot of cooking (brendon can't cook for shit) and i take bogart out for walks while brendon's at work.

"so, how's your lawyer friend? Brendon, right"

I respond by nodding "um.. well I'm actually living with him for the moment." I explain looking at my fingers that are tapping the counter in front of me.

"oh?" his expression changes.

"yep. We've gotten a lot closer and spent more time together. it's really nice. i was scared I'd be alone once i got out."

"well, I'm happy for you Ryan." he smiled. I return the gesture.

"and, um, i don't know what terms we stand on right now..." i said nervously.

"what do you mean?" spencer asked, tilting his head to the side confused.

"Well, we-we share a bed." his eyebrows raise. After the first night, neither of us really wanted me to leave so he kinda just lets me in the bed with him.

"and he flirts with me. a lot." i look down.

"have you guys kissed?" i shake my head.

"we've been close many times but it's never actually happened." i say.

"take him on a date." Spencer suggests immediately.

I cock an eyebrow. "i have no money. and no car. or a license." i point out.

"well, didn't your mom leave you the car in her will? it should be in the vehicular impound downtown." he makes a good point. "I don't know what to tell you about your license but i'm sure you'll figure something out."

"but i still have no money."

"get a job. you're good at lots of things."

i sigh. why is he so good at giving advice?

"thank you Spencer." i smile, "well what about you?"

"well, i have a new bunk mate. Walker is what we call him."

"really? is he cool?"

"yeah, you'd like him. hell, you'd probably leave me for him." spencer jokes, I could never leave him.

"but we're pretty close. he sits at our table."

"how's Tyler doing?" i feel like i can call everyone by their first names because i'm not in there anymore.

"he's great. I'm kinda looking out for him like you asked. But him and that Red haired guy are getting pretty close so, i think i might just leave the job to him."

i smile and nod. i miss the kid. "tell him i stopped by."

spencer nodded "of course."

The alarm rang, and i knew it was time to go. "well, i guess that's my queue.. see you later spence." i smile.

"bye Ryan, come visit me again soon."

"i promise."

{A/N: hello it me.
