Chapter 1 - You're Coming Unglued - Ryan Ross

“It’s not a problem. It gets to quiet around the house when it’s only Ryan and I.” She said with a warm smile still adorning her face.

“Mom, I’m hungry.” Brendon said, rummaging through the cupboards.

“Have you eaten anything since school?” She asked, taking a pot out of one of the cupboards.

“We went to Dina’s and had some pizza, but that’s it.”

“Well, I was going to make mac-and-cheese. Why don’t you and Ryan take the car and go get Spencer and rent some movies. Heather dear, have you had time to unpack your things yet?”

“Not yet. I only brought them up to Ryan’s room.” I replied.

“Alright, then Ryan take Heather up to your room and show her where she can put her things. And you sir,” she pointed to Brendon, “are going to help me start dinner.”

“Kay!” Brendon said, running over to the fridge.

I followed Ryan upstairs to his room.

“Sorry about Brendon, he’s really obnoxious.” Ryan said, picking up some of his clothes from the floor.

“He’s definitely different, but different in a good way. He just gives you the feeling that he’ll always be there for you.”

“Yeah, I guess so. Um, you can put your stuff here if you want. If there isn’t enough room then just take my stuff out.” He pointed to one side of his dresser.

“Thanks.” I began to unzip my suitcase.

“Alright, well, I’m going to go get Spencer and some movies. We’ll only be like ten minutes tops.” He said from the doorway.

“Kay.” I took some of my clothes and placed them into one of the drawers.
