Chapter 2

When Ryan woke up the next morning, Sandy was already waiting for him in the chair opposite of the bed…great…Kirsten must've had a talk with him.

Whit a sigh Ryan sat up. "Mornin'" he mumbled.

"Morning, kid. How did you sleep?"

Oh just great, he thought sarcastically. He didn't get much sleep at all because he spend the night thinking about the conversation he had with Kirsten.

"Okay. You ?" he finally said, looking at Sandy.

"Not so okay, actually. Kirsten told me about what happened here yesterday evening. Ryan I.."

Sandy began but was cut short by Ryans frustrated grunt.

He looked at the teenanger who had his eyes now cast to the floor.

"Ryan I can understand that you don't want to talk about it…I mean…you hardly ever talk but…" he sighed "I really need to know what happened, to upset you this much. I…we don't want you to hurt yourself because of some shit. The next time, you better come to us to talk, okay ? "

"Okay. And Sandy ? Don't say shit." Ryan said with a smile.

"Right, don't tell Kirsten I said it." Sandy said with a smirk. "Now come on get ready, breakfast's waiting in the kitchen."

With that, Sandy got up and left the Poolhouse.

When Ryan came out of the bathroom a few minutes later, he found Seth sitting on his bed.

"Not you too. Let me guess…more talking about yesterday ?"

"Yesterday ? No why, what happened yesterday ?" Seth ask curious.

"Nevermind…so, what do you want to talk about ? Summer ?" Ryan tried to change the topic.

"Hmm…good idea but, no. Just wanted to make sure you're okay. I heard Mom and Dad talking last night…that was eavesdropping actually, but only after I heard your name. Mom seemed upset und since your recent comment about yesterday did not go unnoticed by me, I'm now very curious. Was is it Ryan ? Tell me…please." Seth was almost whining at the end.

"Thought you didn't want to talk about that ?" Ryan replied, ready to leave the poolhouse. "Seth…hurry up, I'm starving and we're late for school !" He added when Seth was just staring at him.

Seth rolled his eyes, got up and followed Ryan into the kitchen, where he almost bumped into him.

"Ryan, what the...?" He started but caught himself just as Kirsten was about to scold him.

He smiled innocently at her, walked around Ryan, who suddenly made a run for the poolhouse,

poured himself some coffee and sat down next to his Dad.

"Okay…that was weird, he just told me that he's starving and now he fled the kitchen" he stated,

looking at his Mom for an explanation. Nothing came.

Instead Kirsten turned around and was once more looking through the window, only to see Ryan returning.

"Sorry…forgot my backpack. Not a good idea if you have school."

The kitchen fell silent after Ryan's statement , everyone fully aware that he had carried his backpack with him when he first entered the kitchen.

About half an hour later the boys were on their way to school.

Seth , who was driving, gave Ryan a sideways glace. "So…your backpack, huh ?" he asked.

There was no answer from Ryan so Seth let it slide. He would have his talk with Ryan later.
