LET'S GO!!!! (Chapter 4)

The door opened with a creak as a short, olive skinned girl poked her head out. She scrunched her face as she swept her messy hair out of her eyes, "What are you doing? I thought we agreed 6, it's fucking 5:30." Ryland crossed his arms, "Seriously Mariana, why are you always damn uptight about the fucking time. You are acting like your god-damned divorced parents." Mariana threw her head back as she groaned, "I told you, I have everything scheduled. I live by my fucking schedule, Rye! You know this!" Ryland backed off, not wanting to annoy any of her dorm neighbors. He grabbed her hand and pulled her in for hug. His 6' 2" frame engulfing her 5' 3" body. Both of them sigh in comfort as they calm down. Ryland let go and combed his hair over. "I'm sorry, I do forget. Well, what did you have scheduled this afternoon?" He asked. Mariana put her hand on her hip as she pulled out a pocket book out of her jacket pocket, "Well I just finished the very last part on my eco-science project. I had a few errands that I ran earlier today. You're supposed to show up in 30. And I'm making Lengua tonight." Ryland smiled warmly, "Lengua sounds good. I love it when you cook Lengua." Mariana pulled her dark hair back in a low-pony, "Who said I was giving you any?" Before Ryland could say anything, Mariana interrupted, "I'm just kidding, I made double the amount because I knew you were coming over, hun."

"Mari! Who's out there? Come back inside, I miss you!" Mariana whipped her head around, her Latina accent dominantly surfacing, "Silviano Miguel Fernandez! What the fuck have I told you about being quiet!" She quickly turned around, her face red from embarrassment. "Who the hell was that?!" Ryland snapped. Mariana stood on her toes to get closer to his face, "Calm down, you idiot. That's my best friend. He's visiting me for the summer before classes. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you." Ryland placed his hand on her shoulder and pushed her back on feet, "It's fine, I'm just a little tired lately." Mariana grabbed his hand and led him into her dorm, with the shaky aura following them inside.

Adam walked into the empty dorm with a shiver. He stood in the dark doorway, a feeling of dread washed over him as he stared into the void that was his dorm. A shiver went up his spine as he had a moment of deja vu. Dark, empty room. Foot steps creeping in the hallway. Silver buckle on a leather belt. No one here to hear him cry. Tears built up in his eyes as he sat down on his bed. Adam let himself fall on his back and rolled on side. Adam clutched his pillow to his chest and cried silently. After a sad while, Adam sat up and pulled out his phone. xxx-xxx-xxxx. 

He sat quietly as he waited for the other end to pick up, "Hey Andy. Andy. Andy. ANDY, SHUT UP I'M ON THE PHONE! Hello? I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Adam smiled as he wiped his eyes, "Cassie! I missed you so much! How are you?" An audible gasp could be heard from the other end, "Adam? Is that you? Oh my God! I haven't heard from you in forever!"

Ryland walked in the messy but somehow organized dorm. He turned the corner into the living area and glared at the boy laying on his girlfriend's couch. A tan, lanky teen smirked back. He flipped his hair behind his ear, "Ah, so you're the teddy bear mari-boo always goes on about. I just have to say, you're a lot under-whelming in person." Ryland stepped forward to punch the shit out of him. Mariana grabbed Ryland's and he turned to meet her eyes, "Rye, Silviano is just trying to get a reaction out of you. Please stop." She led Ryland into the kitchen as he flipped Silviano the bird. Mariana walked over the slow cooker and pulled out some meat and put it on a plate. She grabbed two forks out of the sink and lead Ryland to a small table to sit. He picked up a fork and began to eat. "Mmm! Mari this is so good! Have I ever mentioned that I love your cooking?"

Ryland and Mari ate their fill of the delicious meat. After chatting and cuddling for a half hour, Ryland got up to leave, he kissed his girlfriend on the forehead and waved as he left. Mariana closed the door and turned to Silviano, biting her lip, "Now, let's get back to where we left off."

"Adam, I've missed you so much! How are you? I heard you got accepted into Sonnenfeld, I'm so proud of you! Naz! Look who's on the phone!" The sound of footsteps running could be heard as they got louder, "Ada! Bro, where are you? First you're not at dad's and you're not at that other chick's house? Like seriously? What? Huh?" Whap "Naz! I told you, shut up!" Cassandra whisper-yelled. Adam spoke up, his voice shaky, "No, it's fine. I actually got accepted into a university. Dad doesn't know though. I-uh, I haven't told him. Yet." Nazine and Cassandra both sat in silence. Nazine laughed awkwardly, "Well at least you got into college. But why haven't you told dad? Doesn't he deserve to know, too?" "I told you, goddammit. ANDY come take the goddamn phone from my hand right NOW!" Cassandra yelled. Another pair of footsteps could be heard, static and heavy breathing could be heard as the wind yelled into the phone's microphone. "Aw Adam, I knew it was-hah you on t-the phone, whew." Andy breathed out when he finished his adventure across the house. "Andy? I thought you went to Europe this summer? What are you doing back so early?" Andy took a big breath, "Well, I missed the family and I had to come back. You know, right?" 

Adam sighed, "Well, yes on some cases. You also know, right?" "Sadly, yes. Hey I'm gonna have to let you go, Cass is beating the shit out of Nazine. But congrats on the acceptance into Sonnenfeld. I hear it's a great university. Love ya brother, bye!" Andy hung up, leaving Adam a bit better than before.

Adam got up to go to the mini kitchen when Ryland walked in. Adam took a quick peek before facing forward in the kitchen. Ryland had made eye contact and gave a disgusted look, "Were you crying? What are you, a fag?" Adam froze in his steps, the tears coming back, "What, you have a problem showing emotions? Think you're too tough to feel?" Ryland whipped his head around, "What the fuck did you just say to me?" He stepped towards Adam, his voice dropping to a low growl, "I don't take jack-shit from little, spoiled brats like you. I bet you're crying cause daddy cut off your allowance. Aw, is the little fucking wuss gonna cry?" A few tears rolled down Adam's cheek as he turned around and back-handed the fuck out of Ryland's cheek.

"You don't know a damn thing about me or my family. I have done nothing to you since I've been here. What do you want from me?" Ryland towered over Adam, fire radiated in his eyes as he directed all of his anger towards to Adam, "You want to know what I want? I want my father out of the hospital, I want my sisters to stop being absolute ass-holes to me, and I want this fucking idiotic, rich pretty boy to get the fuck out of my dorm. Before I send him to his stuck-up, prick of a daddy in a fucking cardboard box."

Adam backed up, his back facing the wall as he couldn't stop the uncontrollable tears streaming down his face. His mind racing in every direction, his heart stopped out of pure fear. He couldn't control his breathing as Ryland leaned in to his ear.
