You're leaving? (A 1x1 with Lexxy)

[isax]

"We heard all y'all's ruckus." Allie said and the two twins laughed. Rylan sighed and said, "I won't like it. Plus Reagan's a year older then me so she'll be a sophomore. She won't hang out with me at school." Rylan said and sighed again the threw himself on the couch.

 

[Lexus]

"Ry," Clay walked over to his son and sat nest to him on the couch. "You don't know you won't like it until you try it, you know that, and I highly don't Reagan will leave you for the curb, you two are glued together at the hip." He couldn't help but laugh at his comment remembering how everyone said that about him and Ashley. "You know, when I was a sophomore your mom wasn't even in high school and I still hung out with her."

 

[isax]

"That's just disgusting dad. You make it seem like rape when you and mom hang out. You make it sound like you're a phedophile." Rylan said and laughed at his own comment then sighed and smiled. "I guess I'll give it a try." He added.

 

[Lexus]

Clay's face turned bright red as he bursts out in laughter. When he found his ability to breathe again he pushed his son with a little force. "I didn't mean it like that and you know it, God you're such a teenager and that makes me an old man."

 

[isax]

Rylan laughed and said, "it's merely the truth. When you say things like that it makes it seem like you were a phedophile and mom was your prey." He said and the twins laughed shaking their heads. "It's really true though dad." Allie said and Cory nodded.

 

[Lexus]

"Y'all are weirdos." Clay says having nothing left to say on the subject. "But I'm glad you're willing to try it because you would have had no choice in the matter anyway." He stood up from the couch and pulled cereal down from the fridge. "Breakfast is served."

 

[isax]

All three kids sat at the table and began to dive right into their breakfast. Rylan was ready for school now or so he thought. He still didn't want to go but knew he had to no matter what.

 

[Lexus]

When the three finished Clay cleaned up their bowls and out them in the sink handing Rylan his things he took a quick picture of him and smiled. The kids were growing up so fast.

 

[isax]

Rylan scrunched his nose and shook his head. "You're like mom. Taking so many pictures." Rylan said and Allie looked at her dad and smiled. "Oh shut up Ry. It's cute." She said and then laughed softly.

 

[Lexus]

"Well duh," Clay says sticking out his tongue. "You'll thank me later in life for capturing so many of your childhood memories, you're welcome." He then started laughing. "Come on, let's go I'll take you to the bus stop, you two don't burn down my house." Clay pointed to the two younger before closing the food behind him.

 

[isax]

The twins looked at each other but laughed as their dad left with Rylan. Rylan sighed as he walked to the bus stop with his dad. "I'm not ready. Not ready for high school at all dad. Don't know how Reagan did it." Rylan said and sighed.

 

[Lexus]

Clay wrapped an arms around his son's shoulder as they confined to walk to the bus stop. "I think you're more ready than you think you are, you're just nervous is all. Don't forget, you're a Waters and Waters are strong, we can make it through nearly anything."

 

[isax]

Rylan smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Plus I have this. Mom will be there with me." He said and held the bottle cap in his hand. When at the bus stop he took in a deep breath then let it out. "Okay, I think I'm ready."

 

[Lexus]

Clay nodded, "Yes, your mom will always be with you, never far." He reassure him. When he took a deep breath he smiled and hugged him tightly for a moment. "I know you're ready." This was one of those moments he wished his wife was here for, so they could experience together. "You know, if she were here she would probably be an emotional wreck."

 

[isax]

"I know. She'd probably be saying, stop growing and stay my little boy forever." Rylan laughed softly and then smiled. "I miss her still." He whispered and then hugged his dad. He then pulled away and smiled. "Well you should get going before the twins do something stupid." Rylan said and laughed again.

 

[Lexus]

"Is that the new way of saying 'dad get out of here before anyone cool sees you?' Clay asked with a laugh huffing his son one more time. Like his wife he wanted him to stay the little boy who got frustrated at himself for not being able to say watermelon but those days were gone and he was almost grown. It almost made him shed a year but he pushed it back so Rylan wouldn't notice. "Have a good first day okay? I'll see you after, text me if you need anything." Clay says standing up and taking one last look at his son before he hesitated to leave.

 

[isax]

"Okay. You already know I will." Rylan said with a smile and when his dad walked off, he out his headphones in and put in his music from his phone. Reagan ran over and hugged Rylan tight. "Hey there fishy!" She said and Rylan sighed. "You're a year older then me Reg. No reason to gloat." He said and Reagan laughed. "I know I know."

 

[Lexus]

When Clay walked off he heard Reagan in the distance and shook his head with a smile and a laugh, he knew she wouldn't leave Rylan behind and for that he was thankful that his son had someone to look out for him of he needed it, not that he did.

 

[isax]

"Mornin uncle Clay!" Reagan called out as she saw her uncle. She waved and smiled then the bus came. She walked on with Rylan and sat with him in the same spot and they began to talk.


The twins at home however had fallen asleep again on the couch. They were tired and didn't even want to go to school anymore. Not because they were scared. They were at the same school but just because they were to tired to go.

 

[Lexus]

Clay waved back to his niece with a smile."morning Reagan." He calls before stepping back inside to spot the twins peacefully asleep again. Looking at his watch he saw they had at most another hour to sleep before they had to he ready themselves. He took the quiet time, which was a precious rare occasion to make his coffee and stare across the room at them peacefully wondering back to his continuous thought of how well he did with the three of them on his own.

 

[isax]

After an hour or so passed, Cory woke up and yawned. "Do we have to go dad?" He asked and looked at Allie. "Wake uppppp." He told her and Allie groaned. "Shut up..." She said as she continued to sleep.

 

[Lexus]

"I'll tell you what I told your brother, yes you have to go." He set down his coffee cup and walked over to the couch and clapped his hands. "Now come on, get up before I have to tickle you awake." He says with a bright smile getting his hands ready to attack on Allie.

 

[isax]

"Go away..." Allie said as she shut her eyes tighter and pulled the the blanket over her face. Cory laughed and got up as he shook his head at his sister knowing she would hate what their father was going to do.

 

[Lexus]

Clay heaved a dramatic sigh. "Fine, you've given me no choice." With that his hands meant her body and he tickled her furiously until she stood up. "Ha! It worked, now go get ready." He says with a laugh.

 

[isax]

Allie groaned and grabbed a pillow then threw it at her dad before walking up the stairs to get dressed then walked back down and sighed. She didn't want to go. She was exhausted.
