destined for disaster

“And you think a dumb little girl would’ve been able to pay to keep both of you alive?” He asked, rolling his eyes. “If I was not your father, she wouldn’t be confronting me right now, so I have always been your father.” He let out a deep sigh, wanting to take Ty and drive him back home without any further problems. “You have no right to accuse my son of anything. Last time I checked, he didn’t put a gun to your son’s head and forced him to be there. My son is as innocent as every kid there.” 

“I would have figured it out if I had to.” Her voice tired as she didn’t want to continue this back and forth with him anymore. “You can p-p-provide sperm and not be a father. There is m-more to that word than you would even know.” Lily rolled her eyes and moved to take Griffins hand. “Come on Bambi. You should get some rest, yeah. I’ll make your your favorite.” Her voice much softer now as she moved to lead her son away from George.

“Then why didn’t you? I didn’t force you to take the money or the free room in my hotel, so if you could’ve easily done it on your own, why didn’t you?” George was tempted to ignore the boy as he had done for his entire life. “Don’t get involved in things that don’t concern you. Like it or not, I am still your father and I will not be talked to like that.” He said sternly before turning back to Lily. “He has a home because of me. He goes to a good school because of me. I could’ve sent you both away never to be seen again, but I kept you close and I kept you safe. You owe me enough not to go accusing me of getting him involved in a crime when I did nothing of the sort.” 

“Because I was a dumb little girl. I had just turned 18 when we met. I didn’t know myself or have the confidence in myself that I have now.” She replied honestly with a shrug before noticing Griffin. “Bambi, its okay. Its not worth it.” Her hand moving to Griffins shoulder. “I th-th-think someone insulting my mother concerns me v-very much. When have you every b-b-been my father? Id-d-ont know you. You know n-n-nothing about me. ” Griffin stated sharply. Lily rolled her eyes quickly as George continued. “No, you paid me off to not ruin your family. You kept me close so that I wouldnt talk. Im not accusing you of getting him involved. I am accusing your son.”

“You wanted to have him. How else was I supposed to deal with it? If it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t have a life and you know that. Whether you want to admit it or not, everything you have is because of me. You can call it what you want.” He couldn’t look at Griffin the whole time he was speaking, choosing to focus on Lily instead. Ty could hear the whole argument despite pretending to keep himself occupied at the water cooler. He couldn’t pretend he was surprised to find out that his dad had another child, but it wasn’t something he wanted to think about. He gave Griffin an apologetic look, but he knew better than to get in between his father and another adult.

“Yeah. You are right. I wanted to have my baby. We would have found a way to figure it out without you.” She stated before feeling Griffin pull away a bit. He moved, placing himself between George and her as he spoke. “D-d-dont talk to my mom like that. She p-p-put herself through school. She worked two j-jobs. Her... not you. Everything I am is because of her. N-n-not you.” Lily gave him a small smile before looking back to George. “You are just a son of a bitch that knocked me up when I was young and dumb and then paid me off to not say anything. Nothing he has is because of you.”

“Is he? I didn’t know. It’s not like I pay for his entire life or anything!” He snapped back at her, lucky that Ty was seemingly too far away to hear. “Well, you know what they say about assumptions. Doesn’t change the fact that he wasn’t supposed to be there and he was the one who found the body.” 

“You do not pay for his entire life. You wanted to hide him. You wanted to keep him a secret so you offered money. You knew I had nothing and no one to help so of course I took it but his life is me and him. Not you. Everything he has done, everything he has accomplished and earned is his. You just foot a hotel bill.” She snarled, tucking her arm tighter around Griffin as she felt him let out a quick panicked breath. Griffin looked out at George before trying to find Ty in all of this.

“It’s my job to protect my son!” He raised his voice slightly. It was too early in the morning for him to be talking to her and he had to deal with the press nightmare that came with a bunch of kids finding a dead body in his hotel. “Ty is allowed to go wherever he wants in his hotel. Your son is the one who was breaking in and if I heard right, he was the one who found the body.” He pointed out, even though Ty was told many times to stay out of that room. 

She could feel her anger rising as she held Griffin. Something in her sweet boys general disposition right now setting off her need to protect. The words coming before she even fully processed what she was saying. “He is your son too.” She stopped instantly, looking at Griffin before back at George Griffin looking at her for a moment before ducking his head. “Someone had to get a key to that room. Im assuming it wasnt my son or any of hte other kids which leaves yours. Its not really breaking in if you are invited by someone with a key.”

George Ridgemount was never a perfect father, but he had just lost his daughter, so when the call came that his son was being held at the police station for questioning, he had his driver rush him there. His wife had been asleep when he got the call, and instead of worrying her, he told her he would be back as he went to get Ty. He realized just how right that decision had been as he was walking out of the station with his son when he was approached by Lily. “We are not doing this now. Not in front of Ty.” He said, signaling for Ty to go somewhere else. “I did not force your son to trespass in my hotel, so don’t you dare put the blame on me.”

Noticing Griffin being brought out, she couldnt help but notice how lost the boy seemed even in his far off stare. He moved with the police officer, hugging himself in a way that made her want to just take him in her arms. Looking back to George, she scoffed. “Oh yes, lets protect your son.” She put heavy emphasis on the word son before she shook her her head. “No. Ty did that. My son doesnt break into rooms and drink and find dead bodies in hotel rooms that are suppose to be out of business in your hotel.” Wrapping her arms around Griffin as he got close, she ran her hand down his back.

Is a poptart technically a sandwich?

“Well no.... a sandwich is a f-f-food consisting of two pieces of bread and a filling. Since Poptarts are m-made of pastry crust, they uh would be more of a pie than anything.”

Frantic and pissed were the only two emotions going through Lily’s mind as she got out of her car and headed into the police station. From what she was able to get out, Griffin was barely responsive after a rough night and needed her so she had left work as soon as she could to get to him. Coming into the station, she headed for the front desk. “I need my son. Now. His name is Griffin. I am picking him up and taking him home. He will answer all your questions when he has had rest.” Her voice stern, not letting the assistant at the front desk argue as she crossed her arms over her chest. Her ears burning for a moment as she heard a familiar voice and turned to see George and Ty. “Of course you would somehow be involved in this. What? Can’t just fuck me over, you have to try to do it to my son as well.”

Small looks

Sitting on the couch, Griffin hadn’t fully processed what had happened the night before. He couldnt sleep, still thinking over the body that seemed burned into his mind and in his and his moms hotel room everything seemed too quiet. Too slow. His mind had felt it had shut off hours ago before the cops had even arrived and he hated not being able to be much help. He barely even realized his mom was home until she was right beside him, bringing his head into her lap to run her fingers through his hair. “Im so sorry baby that I couldn’t protect you. I am so sorry.” He wanted to say that this wasnt her fault. Wanted to assure her that there was nothing she could do because logically there was nothing she could have done but he couldnt manage words.

“Perfect, I’m great at the whole oxygen thing.” Casper said, not realizing that that was not in fact how the whole breathing thing worked. “And I’m going to be honest with you Griff. You’re not looking so hot. Which is a big statement coming from me who usually finds you actually kind of adorable. Has someone had a little too much to drink?”

“Thats not how... th-thats...” Griffin stopped, hanging his head for a moment before giving a quick shake of a no. “I didnt m-m-mean to drink. I was j-just drinking punch but some b-buttface I guess...” He didnt finish his statement as his eyes went wide. “My moms g-g-going to kill me. Im n-not going to get into a g-good college. My l-lifes falling apart.” His breathing picking up again into a panicked pace. 

[griffinkilpatrick-blog]

“Im f-fine. Just fine. Just n-n-needed some air.” Griffin commented lifting up their hand to try to shoo Casper away as he felt his stomach turn. Someone had spiked the punch at prom and all the signs Griffin had read about being drunk were there. He was burning up, he couldnt think straight, his vision was slightly off. God, this was horrible. @casanova-casper

Lincoln sat outside the prom, cigarette in hand, as it was starting to come to an end. He had been waiting all night for this moment, and there were only about fifteen minutes left until midnight. “I really don’t know why I came to this this. I just wanted to hit up the after party” he confessed. He didn’t have a date, and truly didn’t mind. He liked it better that way actually, no strings to hold him back. “So, where’s your date? Are they as drunk as I wish I was right now?”

Stepping outside to get some air, Griffin pulled out their phone wondering if it was too early to just call it a night. He wasn’t having much fun and could think of a million other things he could  be doing instead of being here. “Huh? Oh uh well... thats n-nice.” He stated softly before shaking his head quickly at the question. “N-no. No I dont um... I d-d-didnt come with a date. Especially not one that w-would be drunk. No offense.”

“I’ll have you know, I just so happen to be an excellent dancer.” Casper assured the person he’d seen standing away from the dance floor. He decided almost instantly that it would be his goal to get them too dance to bring more people out onto the floor. How else was he supposed to get his grind on? “Not to mention I might have a little something special in it for you if you come out on the floor with me.”

Playing with his bowtie, Griffin was beginning to wonder why he had even came. It wasn’t like the danced or drank or really liked crowds. Oh no, this definitely seemed like a bad idea now but wasn’t prom this big milestone in life? Looking up as Casper spoke, Griffin shook their head quickly clearing their throat. “Uh um... w-well.” He managed out before he closed his mouth again. “Two left f-f-feet and a really b-bad habit to muck things up so I’ll p-p-pass.”

Maeve looked up from her book and gave the boy a warm smile “ Oh yeah sorry I was going I was going to give to lost and found when I was done, here you go” She said as she held out the binder. 

Taking it quicker than he needed to he held it close to his chest, letting out a sigh of relief. “Than you. Th-this means a lot to me. I cant imagine l-l-losing it.” He knew it wasn’t practical to have a bunch of important things in one place but he had never lost it before either.

Jane pulled out her earbuds and to listen to the boy. Though he seemed much older than her, he was stuttering and playing with his hands. In the best way possible, he reminded her of a lost puppy. “I’m sorry I haven’t seen it.” 

As she talked about not seeing it, he let out a quick huff bringing his hand up into his hair. “Crap, crap crap crap.” The words mostly under his breath as he looked around her anyway. “Im dead if I dont find that binder.”
