Chapter Text
Rich stood on the front steps, hand ready to knock, he considered calling inside. He eventually decided to just go in, it was pouring anyway. He took a deep breath and hoped for the best. He took his wrist back and knocked twice. Rich held his breath while he waited. Just as he was about to call in, a middle-aged woman opened the front door, she had fair-colored skin, brown eyes and black hair tied into a messy bun.
“Richard? What are you doing here so late? Is everything alright?”
“Sorry to just- show up in the middle of the night Mrs. Mell, but I really need-”
Mrs. Mell put her hand up to silence Rich, and she gestured for him to come inside. As she locked the door she said, “I’ll go get Michael and he’ll help you get situated. Goodnight Rich, we’ll talk in the morning.” Rich gave a weak smile and two thumbs up. A few minutes later Michael came-more like slid- down the stairs. “What the hell did’ja get ya self into this time?” Michael mumbled through yawns.
“Long story, too tired.” Rich yawned.
Then Michael yawned again, then Rich, they both laughed silently before standing in the dimly lit house, rain tapping the windows. Michael turned on his heel and headed to the kitchen. “You know where my room is, get outta those wet clothes, you want hot water?” Rich nodded and made his way up the stairs. Michael and his moms and a decent sized house, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. As he started opening his suitcase his phone went off, a text from ‘jakey d’, while he unlocked it he received two more texts.
