The boys couldn't sleep at the house that night. It was still marked as a crime scene, but even if it wasn't, would you want to stay at a house that someone was murdered in; especially if that person was your father.
Blaine and Ryder spent the night with Finn at the Hudson- Hummel home. They had let Ryder stay there for a while when he first got out of the hospital and after hearing about the abusive situation he was in. Blaine and Ryder were surly welcome after what happened to Brian.
They tried to get a good night sleep, because tomorrow would be Monday and they would have to face everyone at McKinley; everyone probably heard about what happened. Blaine and Ryder had to try and sleep. It was extremely hard for Blaine because all he could think about was his father. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw his face. But eventually, he drifted off.
It was a different case for Ryder. He didn't even try to sleep. Ever since his father had ruined his life, by taking away his innocence, he hasn't really slept at all. If he goes to sleep, it isn't long before he wakes up screaming. Besides, how could Ryder sleep knowing that another person close to him is dead and Blaine is angry at him?
Brian and Blaine took him in and now one of them is dead. Ryder couldn't help but blame himself for all of this. Finn would check on them every now and then, but Ryder turned his head, so Finn would think he was asleep along with Blaine.
The morning came and Ryder felt exhausted. No sleep and nothing but fear and sorrow filled his insides. Blaine shuffled out of bed after a restless night of sleep. Blaine look down at Ryder, who didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"Sleep well?" Blaine asked Ryder and Ryder shook his head, still not meeting Blaine's eye. "I'm not mad at you. I'm sorry I said those things to you yesterday." He apologized and Ryder finally started to look up at Blaine.
"It okay." Ryder replied, even though it still hurt. Everything that Blaine said were true in Ryder's point of view that is.
"No it's not. I mean, I know it was my dad, but you lost your mom and after everything your dad did to you—I went too far. I'm sorry." Blaine said and Ryder grinned, slightly.
"Come on, we have a long day ahead of us." Blaine said and held out a hand for Ryder. Ryder took it and Blaine helped him to his feet. Ryder and Blaine got ready for a long school day which would likely consist of looks and pity.
"You going to be okay?" Blaine asked Ryder. For the most part they had different periods and he wondered if Ryder would be okay by himself for majority of the day. Ryder grinned at Blaine and nodded.
"Yeah. I mean I have Marley and Finn is always in the hallways." Ryder said. "Wait. Why are you asking me? I should be asking you. He was your dad."
"I know, but hey, he loved you like family too." Blaine replied. "Anyway, I have Sam's impressions to take my mind off things, plus Kurt is flying in and I will probably see him sometime tonight or tomorrow."
Kurt probably started packing for Ohio once he heard what happened to Blaine. They both had someone that was looking out for them, so for the most part they were going to be just fine.
Blaine drove to school and they walked into school together. Soon enough they were seen and people looked at them, like they did when Ryder's mom was murder. They tried their best to ignore all the stares. But then Kitty and Tina came up to them.
"Blainey days! I'm so sorry about your dad!" Tina exclaimed, wrapping her arms around Blaine.
"Yeah, we heard what happened. We're surprised that whoever that mental case didn't chop you up into pieces." Kitty smirked, mostly looking at Ryder.
"Thanks Kitty, Tina, but we're alright." Blaine said and with that Tina let go and gave the boys some space. Ryder looked and saw Marley in the corner. He grinned and wanted to get to her as quickly as he could.
"Excuse me." Ryder said and both Tina and Kitty let him through while they stuck by Blaine. Ryder walked over to where Marley was she embraced him in her arms.
"Are you okay?" Marley asked.
"I've been better, but I guess I am okay considering what's happened." Ryder replied and Marley sighed. She still found this hard to believe. First Ryder got abused, lost his mom and when things finally start to turn around, another life is taken; and of course, the man who has touched his life as well as his son's.
"Look, I'm sure you didn't have to come today. I mean, if you want to leave, I could come with you." Marley said and Ryder arched his eyebrow. He had never seen this before. Marley Rose was volunteering to ditch school with him?
"Ditching? That doesn't sound like the Marley I fell in love with."
"Well, this is a tough spot and after everything, isn't it good to be bad for a change? But a good kind, of course."
"There she is." Ryder said and leaned in and kissed Marley on the lips. "Anyway, I have to get to class, I will see you later."
The entire day went by fine. Sure it was a slow day and in between classes, somebody would stop Blaine or Ryder and ask him questions. And they would tell them how sorry they were and they couldn't believe this happened. Of course they couldn't.
But those didn't compare for what was going to happen to Ryder during 7th Period. He was given a note from a student to go to the principal's office. Strangely they would announce it, but maybe they wanted to be personal with him.
Ryder got out of his seat, taking his things. He figured they wanted to see how he was doing. They did these check in's because of everything he has been through. But when he entered the office, the surprise wasn't a good one.
He expected to see Emma Pillsbury, Sue Sylvester, or even Figgins, but that wasn't who stood there with a evilish smile on his face; it was none other than, Logan Lynn.
Ryder's heartbeat increased and he dropped all this books. His eyes widened until they could anymore and he was sure his breathing was heavy now; he was also sure he was the verge of a panic attack.
"Hello Ryder, did you miss me?" Logan asked and Ryder took a few steps back.
"What the hell are you doing here? You were in prison!" Ryder exclaimed. This couldn't be happening. Logan was arrested months ago, taken to a prison miles away so he couldn't get to Ryder. He was supposed to be safe.
"I was, but let's say. I have a few allies of my own." Logan said, walking closer to Ryder. "Anyway, it's so unfortunate what happened to Brian."
"You?"
"No, I wouldn't have made it. I do have connections though."
