Comming back to it all

[Conrad Siberman]

The cop car pulled up and Conrad looked around from inside of it. He sighed and looked around. "Shit." He said and saw them. Jake and Ryan were walking by. Conrad put his hand on the window and stared at Ryan. She looked so beautiful and Conrad really wanted to go to her and pull her close but that wasn't possible because she hated him. His hand fell from the window and a tear ran down his cheek. "I love you Ryan and I am sorry." He only wished that she could hear him.

He watched them as they were talking and turned around and noticed that they had noticed the car. "Oh no, Ryan turn away I don't want you to see me like this." He said and sighed. His facial hair was bad as he had almost a beard. He was ruffy looking and had his orange jump suit on. On the back of his neck was his prision number. He really didn't want her to see him like this.

Jake meanwhile saw that a guard was running off to get the headmistress and looked confused. "What the...." He stopped and looked behind him. "Oh dear...Ryan look." He took her by the arm and turned her around. Ryan's eyes went wide because she knew who was in that car. They both watched as the cop got out and waited for the headmistress to come out to take out Conrad who was in shackles in back of the car.

[Ryan McGrath]

As Jake spoke to her, Ryan looked up. There was a cop car pulling up. Was the school that paranoid about danger that they had to have patrolmen gaurding the gates? Wait...Was that..? Her breath caught in her chest as she stared in at prisoner inside. "...Conrad..." Her eyes were sad and longing. She sighed and tried to pul herself away from him. It wasn't going very well. "Maybe I should go back to my dorm. I don't know that he'll want me around." Swallowing she turned away a little.

[Mary Andrews]

Mary Andrews was keeping busy in her office when the guard came in. "I'm far too busy for petty visits, thank you. But if you'll make an appointment with the secretary I'll be sure to see to your dilemma in a timely manner." She was pushing papers aside when she looked up and out the little window on the office door. "Oh!" Jumping up she opened the door. "I'm sorry. Let me get my coat I'll be right out." Grabbing her black pea coat, she cleared her throat and followed him out.

Her black flats pattered against the stone ground as she approached the car. "Mr. Siberman...Welcome back to Crescent Hill." Her smile was snarky and a little cold. "I assume they've debriefed you already. I hope you understand you're here on God's good graces. Keep you're act together and we just might let you stay a while." She was standing at his open door and tapping her foot. "Get him out. And Jesus, didn't he have any decent clothes? I'd rather an orange jump suited boy didn't wander through my school. It gives us a bad image." She turned back to Conrad. "Freedom is a privilege for you, boy. No longer a right. So respect all our rules and you'll gain more and more freedom. As for working, you'll serve in the cafeteria twice a week at lunch and help with janitorial work two days. The only days you won't be working are Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Sundays you'll attend an open worship group. I don't care who you worship. It could be your own guitar for all I care. Just start believing in something aside from substances. I suggest you take your other two days for granted as most you can. They're all you have."

[Jake McGrath]

Jake pulled Ryan back. "Ryan just stay." He said and could hear the Headmistress talking to Conrad and he sighed. It seemed like Conrad wouldn't have time for anything. His only hope was that Conrad kept his mouth shut and didn't snap at the woman. But knowing Conrad he more than likely would. It was in his nature really and Conrad didn't really think about what he was diong at the time and just did it. "Ryan just stay you know it will hurt you too much to not see him at least." He said,

[Conrad Siberman]

The cop pulled him out of the car and there Conrad stood almost towering over the headmistress. The cop looked at Mary. "Sorry Headmistress Andrews his stuff was all taken away when he was put in and someone picked it up." He said and looked at Conrad who was shackled.

Conrad glared at the headmistress. "I don't to fucking worship anything. If there was such thing as fuckig God then there wouldn't be the problems in the world there are today and there wouldnt' be people like you." He said. "So what are you going to do lock me up in a padded room so I don't hurt anyone? Huh? Or you going to use me for your own sexual pleasures? Since you can't get any cause your so ugly and mean."

[Ryan McGrath]

Ryan sighed and tried to yank her arm away from her brother. "Jake, this is stupid." She looked back to the car and crossed her arms. "I'm not watching this. I'm so mad at him it doesn't even make a difference." Her expression was very hurt as she looked back to her brother. "You think it's easy to just watch him like that? You think it's easy to forgive him for abandoning me for some stupid drugs?!" With her eyebrows pinched together she stared at her brother trying to ignore that Conrad was only a short distance away, telling off the new headmistress. If he had any brains at all, he'd just keep his mouth shut around her.

[Mary Andrews]

Mary slapped him hard across the face. Clearing her throat she ran her tongue along her teeth and sighed. There wasn't much anyone could do about her hitting a child, he was a convict and there were cops who saw. She didn't see any of them springing up to arrest her so she folded her arms. "You'll worship what ever you please. God or not. For all I care, you could be budest." She turned away from him and led them toward the school.

"As requested he has a solitary room just off the dorms. I took no extra precautions with his locks or anything, so it's a simple standard one person room. If he needs to be disceplined in any way, I sugest you leave it up to either Lisa Mitalka or myself. He's no longer you're prisoner, he's our student. We'll judge his actions and deal with them accordingly." She turned to Conrad once more. "You may think you have no life now, I asure you, if you do as your told, then you'll get your life back. Besides, there's plenty of time to socialise between classes." Her eyes rolled a little. She focused again on the cops. "Find out what happened to his belongings and track them down again. Like I said, he's a student not a prisoner. He has the option of blending in. Unless he obscures from his directions. In which case, its back to orange."

[Jake McGrath]

"This might be stupid but don't you love him Ryan?" He asked her and titled his head to the side. "Do you really want to abboned the one you love when he needs you the most? I am sure he realizes his mistake." He said to her. "Do you really want to not love him anymore?" He asked her again. "He made a mistake. We all do and to make things right we need the people that love us to surrond us"

[Conrad Siberman]

Conrad glared at the headmistress and followed her. "Well if I am a student why the hell do I still have my shack..." He stopped and looked right at Ryan. His eyes trying to meet hers. Trying to show how sorry he was for what he did. Trying to get her attention to show her how much he loved her. The cop tried to get him to move and keep on going but he refused. He just stood there starting at Ryan and mouthed, "I love you. I am sorry." TO her.

[Ryan McGrath]

Ryan sighed, she didn't want to hear it right now. It was starting to feel too good being mad at him at that moment. She turned quickly away from Jake and looked headlong right at Conrad. Her breath was sucked in and trapped in her chest as she froze. She watched his lips moving and felt her heart shatter into a million pieces. Her feet moved independantly from her brain. Stepping forward she tried to walk to him but she forced herself to hold back and try not to cry.

[Mary Andrews]

Mary looked at Conrad who was lolly-gagging behind. Looking at some girl. "Miss McGrath please run along and mind your own business." She marched importantly back to Conrad and tugged on his arm. Keep moving." She did not have time to be dealing with some stupid sappy love story.

"Like I said... Socialise between classes." She sternly cleared her throat for about the millionth time and turned away to lead them to his room. "Use what ever spare time you find wisely."

[Jake McGrath]

Jake watched and sighed. "Headmistress!" He said and ran after her. "I have some of Conrad's stuff from last year. You see him and I were in the same dorm and I was wondering if could know what dorm he is in then well I could give him the stuff so he has something else to wear." He said and was walking backwards. "And I must thank you again for openning the school again."

[Conrad Siberman]

Conrad groaned. He pulled back again as Jake was talking to the headmistress and punched the cop. Then he ran over to Ryan and grabbed her. "Ryan please I am sorry. I am really sorry. Please forgive me. I love you more than anything." He said to her and looked at her with hope in his eyes. "I want to marry you! I want ot have a family with you!" He said and started to cry. "Baby I love you!"

[Ryan McGrath]

Ryan heaved a sigh and held her head in her hands. Her brother was the biggest idiot known to man. Sweet talking Headmistress Andrews? What was he? A newb? Desperation grew in her as she wished to dart forward and drag her brother out to the desert and feed him to a pack of angry char. That bloody idiot suck up.

She hadn't seen Conrad comming and she jumped when he grabbed her. "Conrad...I..." Looking into his eyes she began to remember the last time she'd seen him before now. He didn't look much different. Maybe not as clean, or tired.

"How could you just do that to me?!" Ryan was standing on the other side of a plate glass window, a telephone reciever to her ear so she could speek to him. "How could you choose that crap over me?! I just don't get it...HOW COULD YOU?!!!!" She was crying and a guard came to steer her away from him but she punched him and climbed on top of the table and pressed herself to the glass as she cried.

"I loved you, Conny...." She stayed there until visiting hours were over, her wet chuck taylors still dripping from the rain outside. She'd pressed her lips to the glass once or twice. And as he was pulled to leave she said only, "I'm sorry... I did love you.."

Ryan now stared him in the face as he confessed all this to her. Everything he said was true for her in the past. And it still was. But that love hurt. "You should have thought of that before you committed a fellony." Tears dripped down her cheaks. "I'm sorry... I did love you...I do still.. but I can't." She stared at him and cried hard.

[Conrad Siberman]

He looked at her confused as hell. "You can't forgive me...." He siad and let go of her. His head dropped. She couldn't forgive him at all and at that moment his heart broke. Right into two down the middle. "i am sorry to umm bother you then Ryan. Just...." He didn't know what to say or do. The great Conrad Siberman was trying not to cry one tear escaped and he sighed.

"I will always love you and I am sorry I hurt you so much. I will just go now...." He said and backed away from her with his head down. The cops grabbed him and glared. "Hit us huh!" One of them yelled and rammed his fist into Conrad's stomach serval times. Conrad groaned in pain and spat out some blood and fell to the ground.

[Ryan McGrath]

"Conrad!" She stepped forward and glared at the officers. Bending down she wiped off his mouth with his dirty orange sleave. With a sigh she blinked away her tears and stood him up. "Just because he's done wrong doesn't mean you have to abuse him. The headmistress said he was to be dealt with by her. She should be the one abusing him. You have no right anymore. Not on these premisses." She glared at the guards and dusted dirt off of Conrad. She looked into his sorrowful eyes and then away. "You're alright now.." She said very softly as she moved close to him to brush leaves away. "You're okay..." Her works were affectionate but not the same way they once had been.

[Conrad Siberman]

One of the guards grabbed him from her and punched him again. "Come on you!" They started to led him away. "You won't ever get away from us again you little punk." They said with a laugh and one hit him in the back of the head. He groaned and started getting to get a headache. As he walked he started to sway and the guards dragged him to the headmistress.

Thats when Jake saw what was going on and ran towards them all. Flying through the hair he landed ontop of all three of them and started to throw punches. A mist the chaos he grabbed the guards keys and slipped it into his pocket. Then him and Conrad started to fight back against the guards and a fight broke out.

[Ryan McGrath]

She watched as the brawl broke out. "YOU IDIOTS!" The guards were fighting back but the boys made it hard as they were a little quicker than them. Finally one siezed up Conrad and threw him to the ground. Ryan grabbed Jake and pulled him away before things got any worse. "Thanks. We'll be going now." She gave Conrad an apologetic look before pulling Jake away from the scene.

[Mary Andrews]

The headmistress watched and let the fight disolve. She cleared her throat and picked Conrad up. "Stop messing around." She took his arm but not as roughly as one would have thought she was. "Ryan and Jake, go find something else to do. Bring his clothing to him later if you so desire." She leaft the gaurds behind and lead him toward his room brushing him off a little. "I'll no longer require your services," she motioned to the guards to leave and kept walking.

[Conrad Siberman]

Conrad looked at her and rolled his eyes. "Not so tough are you." He said to her and tried to yank his arm free. Then he stopped. "OH no you are not taking me through the main hallway of teh school! Come on now we can go around the other way to dorms. No no you are not taking me through here where everyone can see me!" He said looking at her. "Come on now have some heart!"
