When the Day Met the Night

I woke up the next morning thinking about last night and everything that happened. Just, what the actual fuck? I really didn't wanna see Spencer today, and not Brendon either. Ryan it is! It was around noon so I figured Ryan would be up. I text him a simple hey to see if I was right about him being awake. A few moments later my phone rang and I got a text from Ryan. oh hey. can you hang out today? we need to talk. I was kind of scared away with the "we need to talk." but I knew it would come up eventually. meet me outside in 5. I just slipped on some jean shorts and a tee shirt, brushed my teeth and hair, then walked outside barefoot. Ryan was waiting outside his house for me already. "Hey." he said with an awkward smile. "Hi." I replied. "Wanna go on a walk?" he asked as he grabbed my hand started swinging it up really high then down low. "Okay, that's good." Ryan said as he let go half way down the block. "Catherine. What the fuck are you doing?" I thought about Ryan's question for a moment. and I really had no answer. "You're pulling Spencer around. You barely even talk to me! And now Brendon... I mean. Just the way you did that. Ignored me and Spence so you could fool around. I don't really mind... But Spencer... He hasn't really had that many girlfriends before... He felt like you truly liked him. Now you're being a bitch." Ryan was infuriating me beyond a volume I knew possible. I began to yell. "Ryan! Shut the fuck up! You don't know what it's like to have your mom die right as everything's going fucking insane in your pitiful life! You don't fucking know! I do like Spencer, okay? I just don't know what the hell is going on and just fuck!" Ryan began yelling back "I do know what it's like for your mom to say "fuck you" and walk out, though! You're such a pussy bitch! No one means anything to you." I sat down on the curb of the street we were on and cried. I couldn't take all this, it was way over my head and I felt dizzy. I put my head in my hands and looked up to Ryan. His face of anger faded and he sat down next to me. "I'm sorry, Catherine." Ryan rubbed my back as he spoke. "Sh. It's okay..." I spoke up. "Ryan, it's not okay! I'm jerking Spencer around because I don't know what I want and my mom just died and Brendon and everything and just... I'm going to talk to Spencer, I'm sorry." Ryan then did the most unexpected thing and kissed me on the cheek, but at that moment I went to face him, so he missed and got my lips. He jerked away immediately. "To Spencer that never happened." I nodded my head in agreement. Ryan and I decided to grab some ice cream and walk home. We walked back down my street hand in hand swinging our arms eating ice cream being complete idiots. When we reached the edge of Ryan's we both let go and laughed a little. "I'm going to go talk to Spencer now." I said. Ryan waved to me and called "Good luck!" as I walked towards Spencer's house. I knocked on Spencer's door with an ice cream cone still in hand. A sleepy looking Spencer opened the door. As soon as he saw me, a smug smile reached his face. "Hey." he said as he beckoned me in. "Can we go up to your room and talk?" Spencer looked confused, but obliged. Once in Spencer's room he shut the door and offered a seat on his bed. We both sat down and I started off. "I'm sorry." Spencer still looked confused. "For what?" he replied. "For being a bitch. For just being a general cunt. You don't deserve it. How do you do it, Spencer? How do you even still like me?" Spencer looked a lot less confused, and smiled at me. "I don't think you're a bitch. I think you're mom just died and you have some problems, so what? I've always been there for you and vice versa... I mean. I did kinda see you without pants last night." Spencer chuckled at the thought. "That must have been horrendous." Spencer was puzzled once more. "But it wasn't... You're pretty." I scoffed at him. "Okay..." I kissed Spencer on the lips. "One more thing. I really wanna be with you. I don't want Brendon, or anyone else... Just you. Plus Brendon got a girlfriend... Her name is Morgan. Brendon told me all about her." Spencer smiled at me for a moment. "Okay, are you being serious?" I nodded yes in response. "Okay, well. Will you, Catherine Marie, be my girlfriend?" "Yes." I said as I tackled Spencer into a hug on his bed and kissed him. At that exact moment Spencer's younger sister Sam walked in. "I'm telling mom you were fucking when she wasn't home." Spencer chased his little sister around the house. "Sam come here! It's not what it looks like. Just stay quiet. Sam!" Spencer gave up and walked back up to his room. "I'm gonna change, then we can go out." he said as he started unbuttoning his pants. I sat on his bed and waited. "Aren't you gonna go downstairs?" he asked. "You've seen me in just my underwear, so it doesn't matter." Spencer smiled, "You sneaky bitch." I gave an expression of fake shock. "Spencer James Smith! What was that?" Spencer had pulled on jeans by then. "Nothing, love." Spencer and I went out to The Smoothie Shop as usual and got our usual drinks. Brendon wasn't there which was fantastic! Spencer and I just walked around the random parts of Vegas holding hands being naive fucks. It was getting dark and Spencer needed to be home for his sister's volleyball game at 8 that night. He walked me to my door and gave my a kiss. "Goodnight. I might come over later." I smiled and replied with a simple "Okay." When I shut my door I turned around and Ryan was sitting on my couch. "What the hell, man? Who let you in?" Ryan gave me a smirk. Chill, Catie. Your dad let me in. We need to talk." I scoffed at Ryan. "Build God, then we'll talk... And Catie? What?" Ryan just chuckled. "I got to lazy saying Catherine all the time! Alright. Seriously, we need to chat. How are you and Spencer?" I just gave Ryan a goofy look. "Together." "Awe! Spencerine." I gave Ryan a confused look. "You came up with a name that fast?" Ryan just laughed at me again. "I've had that name in my head since you guys met." I just looked at Ryan with a blank expression. "Well, I gotta go make sure my dad has his supply for tonight. Goodnight, Catie." "Catherine!" I called after him as he walked away to my door. "Catie, Catherine. Whatever! Night." "Night, Ry." I said as he closed the door. I walked up to my room and got into shorts and a tank top. A few moments later I heard a knock at my front door. It was Spencer, and this made me want to smile... Oh wait... I opened the door and he wrapped his arms around me and he spun me around. "Someone's excited!" I said. "Yes! Because I got some new drums!" Spencer chuckled. We went up to my room and Spencer stripped to his boxers. "I'm tired." I said as I yawned. Spencer smiled. "Me too." We both climbed into bed and I let Spencer wrap his arms around me. The next morning I awoke to the noise of a moving truck unloading. "Shut the fuck up!" Spencer yelled. I gave him a pat on the chest. "Stop being so mean to the neighbours." I giggled as I walked to the window. Someone was finally moving into the house next door. And not just anyone, a girl that looked to be my age. "Hallelujah!" I yelled at the site. Spencer just looked at me confused, he was still extremely tired. I got washed up and dressed and ready to go out. Spencer was still in boxers. "Babe! You forgetting something?" Spencer asked. "Huh, no what?" Spencer stood up out of bed. "Oh." I said as I grabbed his clothes. "Where are we going?" he asked as he pulled on his pants and shirt. "To greet the new neighbours!" Spencer groaned as I took him by the hand and rushed him downstairs. I greeted the girl that looked closest to our age. "Hi. I'm your neighbour from next door. My name's Catherine. This is my boyfriend Spencer, he lives down a few houses across the street. "Oh! Cool. I'm Leah. I'm just moving here from Ohio." Leah gave the biggest smile. "Oh! Sweet. Unfortunately I have to go now, but I can come back later if that's okay with you." I replied. "Sure!" Spencer waved as we walked away. "Where do we need to go?" Spencer asked. "Back to my room. I want to sleep some more!" I changed back into the clothes I was wearing last night and Spencer got back in his boxers. Spencer and I quickly fell asleep and slept for the rest of the morning. "Wow. This is the good life I've always wanted." I gave Spencer a kiss on the cheek and continued to sleep.
