After Bam left, Ryan just sat there.

 

"Ryan," Brandon said, sitting down beside him."Are you okay?"

 

Ryan didn't say anything.He just felt really angry.

 

"Ryan, please don't get angry or anything.Your surprise is coming." he told him gently,not trying to scold him.

 

"I'm not going to cry Dico!He's right.I've been being an asshole.To everyone." he said sighing.

 

"Let's not talk about this right now.Your surprise will be here soon.You'll love it!" Brandon told Ryan, smiling a bit.

 

"Yea whatever.When's it supposed to get here?" Ryan asked.

 

"Soon.Real soon.I think." Brandon told him.

 

"How about we go for a walk outside?"  Dico asked Ryan,hopefully.

 

"I don't know..." Ryan said,doubtfully.

 

He didn't want to go or a walk.He just wanted to site there,alone.

 

But then he looked at Dico.he could see it in his face,he really wanted him to go outside.

 

"Alright.Let's go." Ryan said.

 

"Good!" Brandon said, looking a little bit relieved.

"I'm really nervous." she said to Ashley."What if he doesn't want to see or talk to me?"

 

"He'll want to see you, believe me!" Ashley told her.

 

Ashey was driving Ryan's surprise home to him.

~*~

Ryan and Brandon were walking outside.They headed around Snakerun Driveway.

 

"You alright Ryan?" Brandon asked him,concerned.

 

Ryan didn't say anything.He just put his hands inside his pockets and looked down at the ground as they were walking.

 

"You don't have to tell me.It's okay." Brandon told him, trying to make him feel more comfortable.

 

Ryan pulled his head up,opened his mouth like he was getting ready to talk, but closed it.He sighed.

 

"Well..." he started to say,but he was interrupted by the sound of a car pulling into the driveway.
