29. I Know What You Did Before Summer

Dillon

"You're kicking me out? What the fuck has gotten into you?"

Dillon had known that Todd wouldn't take this news lightly but it had gone too far now. Realizing that Todd wouldn't stop bothering Libra or change his lazy ways around the apartment he had eventually phoned his father and told him the truth; that he'd taken in a roommate after all. His father had been less than happy but something in his tired voice had told Dillon he already knew about it.

Their phone call had been filled with formalities and Dillon hadn't told his father that Libra was here and that they had become sort of friends. Knowing Jonah, his father, telling him would've allowed him to worry more than he already was and Dillon didn't want to give him another excuse. Instead they had discussed how well Dillon was doing and that ended up persuading Jonah to take care of the problem for his son. He informed him that since Todd hadn't signed a lease there was no proof of him living there and that was evidence enough in this scenario.

Dillon had worried about squatter's rights but had then thought of the idea to put Todd in Jack's one bedroom apartment and have Jack move in with him, seeing as he only had one year left before his graduation. Jack had happily agreed to sign over his apartment to Todd but still, Dillon knew that Todd liked the space in this apartment and the privileges of living with a rich roommate.

"No Todd, what the fuck has gotten in to you," Dillon asked and pointed a finger at his chest, "you continue to harass Libra despite me telling you not to and you have barely paid rent for this apartment, or groceries! I can't afford to carry like this, dude."

"But we're friends, Dillon. You know money is tight for me and I don't have a rich mother and father to take care of me like you do – cut me some fucking slack." Todd pleaded angrily but Dillon shook his head no.

Jack would be arriving tomorrow evening with his things and he needed Todd to be packed up and ready to go by that time. Sure, he was going to tell him about Jack's arrival but not after he'd calmed down. At this point even Dillon wasn't sure about what Todd would do unless he was in a calm state.

"I am done 'cutting you some slack' Todd. I have paid for the two of us for a while now and I can't afford to do it anymore, my parents aren't some ATM I go to for cash you know. Now, I have hooked you up with another place to stay at, it's available from tomorrow evening – I'd like you out by then."

Todd laughed and threw the towel he was holding at the wall. His frustrations couldn't be masked anymore and between clenched jaws he let out a muffled scream. Dillon told himself he was doing the right thing by kicking Todd Smith out and especially for Libra, he couldn't have Todd hanging around now that she most likely would be spending time at his place – the thought of that sent shivers down his spine.

"You know what dude? Just text me the address I'll be moving to and I'll be out of your hair rich boy," Todd mumbled and pushed past him, but quickly turned around again, "Wait until Keith and Austin hears about this, man, they'll fuck you up for it – if I won't get to you first."

Dillon grinned and stepped forward to Todd, not showing any fear in his eyes. If Todd thought he could threaten him he was sorely mistaken. He had been Todd Smith just a few months ago and knew exactly how to handle a guy like him.
