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

[isax]

Allie looked at her dad and sighed. "We don't care about it." She said and Cory sighed too. "I wonder why he snapped." He said and Allie blinked when she heard Daren talk about their mom. "Mom..... Daren brought mom up." Allie said and Cory sighed, shaking his head. "That's what made Rylan snap." Cory added and the twins nodded.

"The two of you go inside and stay put, I'll be right back with your brother, i have something go tell the three of you." With that Clay walked to the barn and grabbed Teagan, he had be an to ride her more now since she didn't have Ashley. When he arrived at the river he put her to a halt and jumped off.

When Rylan heard his dad, he turned around and looked at him. "What's up?" Rylan asked trying to act as normal as possible even though he was still angry. He missed his mom and it didn't give Daren a right to talk about her.

 

[Lexus]

"I came to chat," He says hopping down from the mare and petting her man before going over to sit beside him. "I know it's hard when people bring her up, it reminds you she isn't here when she should be and it doesn't help her and I grew up here." He says looking over towards his son. "So, I've decided this environment here is no longer good for the three of you to grow up in, people here they'll just continue to look at out like all hope is lost and it's not Ry, your mom wouldn't want the three of you to be around that."

 

[isax]

"What are you saying dad?" Rylan said as he looked at his dad and blinked. He had no idea what he was talking about. Were they planning on moving? Where? Why? "We don't have to move dad. We are fine here. It was just this one time. It won't happen again."

 

[Lexus]

Clay shook his head, "No it's not." He says simply before letting our a sigh. "We're moving to the ranch." He tells him with a faint smile.

 

[isax]

Rylans eyes grew wide and looked at his dad. "The ranch? Don't lie dad. Are we really?!" Rylan said, excitement filling his eyes. He loved the ranch. It reminded him so much of his mom. "Dad we don't have to. Allie isn't going to be thrilled with the move." He told him and sighed. He knew Allie would hate this. "I'll be good. I won't act up again dad and I'll just keep going like nothing's bothering me."

 

[Lexus]

Clay laughed at his son's excitement and shook his head. "I'm not lying." His demeanor changed when Rylan's did. "Your sister doesn't have a choice, I make our decsioms and I dork want the three of you to have to hide yourselves. Whether she likes it or not we're going."

 

[isax]

Rylan smiled and hugged his dad close. "Thanks dad." He whispered and when he pulled away, he smiled. "When we tell Cory and Allie, can Cory and I look up own new school and like see other things of that town?" Rylan asked as he smiled. He was excited for the move. He could finally be him.

 

[Lexus]

Clay nodded and pulled him tighter into the hug. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath, he was glad it finally felt like he was doing something right. He was more than glad his son would be the happy Rylan he had been before his mother died. "Come on, let's go." He says standing up and heading for Teagan. "There's a lot to be done in two weeks."

 

[isax]

"What about the house dad? You built it for you and mom." Rylan said as he smiled and followed after his dad and got on Riot. He smiled softly and then looked at his dad awaiting an answer. He was excited. He could be him now. That's all that mattered.

 

[Lexus]

"The house will always be here, it isn't going anywhere." He reassured him looking at it from a distance and smiled. He hoped his friends and sister didn't take his decision the wrong way, he would miss them but as always the kids were more important. Besides, the kids would get a chance to get closer to their nom's side f the family. He has told them they were coming and they were all excited.

 

[isax]

If anything, Gaven and Mallory would move out to the country with them. They were closer to Clay and the kids more then anyone. Well them and Emma. Rylan smiled and began to ride off to the barn and the out Riot back in his stall. He smiled and then went inside and The twins looked at him. "What's up Ry?" Cory asked and then he looked at his dad.

 

[Lexus]

Allie sent down her phone on the couch and looked at her brother confused but smiled. He was smiling the brightest smile, like he was about to burst from excitement.


Clay walked inside and took a seat in the chair across dork them preparing himself for the fact he was about to tremendously upset Allie. He let out a deep breath, she would be fine eventually he reminded himself. This was better for all of them. "I have something to tell you," he says eyeing them seriously, "I've decided it's time to move on." He says simply. Looking them both in the eye he but his lip before he spoke again. "We're moving."

 

[isax]

"Where to?" Cory asked as he looked at Rylans smile and finally, it clicked. The ranch. Cory stood up and looked at his dad, "You're lying. Are we really?!" He said and Rylan nodded and Cory smiled the brightest smile ever. Allie on the other hand looked at all of them confused. She was lost and didn't know what was going on but she wasn't thrilled about moving. "I refuse to move." She said and Cory and Rylan looked at her and sighed. It was always her.

 

[Lexus]

Clay shook his head at his daughter. "I'm sorry Allie, you don't have a choice in the matter, I make the decisions for the four of us. His voice was soft but stern his eyes didn't leave hers as he waited for a reaction.

 

[isax]

"Why are you trying to ruin my life?! It was perfectly fine! Rylan was the only one with problems here!" Allie exclaimed and Cory looked at her. "Allie shut up. You know who you act like is not who you want to be. You think I don't notice but I see you looking at moms boots and trying them on. It's inevitable. Being country is in your blood but you just want to stay the way you are because you fit in. Well you know what, I'm tired of trying to fit in. Do you know how hard it is to just be us at school and let alone the whole town? I just want to get away from here." Cory said and Allie looked at him. She did try on her mothers boots, plenty of times. She did like to wear them with sundresses but she never wore them to school. Allie sighed. "What about the clan dad? Huh. Rylan have you even once thought about how you won't see Reagan anymore?" Allie said and Rylan looked down, his smile fading. He hadn't thought of that. "Oh come on. Uncle Gav and Aunt Mal, we are all glued to the hip you know that. If anything they would move out there with us. Plus we get to meet moms side of the family Allie. People we don't see a lot." Cory said. The boys were excited and ready but Allie obviously didn't want to leave.

 

[Lexus]

"Allie, just because we aren't going to love here anymore doesn't mean we won't ever come back." He reassures her. "I know change can be hard but you should at least experience it before you decide it isn't what you want." He smiled at the end of his sentence. "Besides, there you can fit in a be yourself without even trying, everyone will love you there."

 

[isax]

Allie sighed and nodded. "Fine. I guess." She said and then stood up. "When do we leave?" She said and Rylan and Cory hugged her close. "Okay okay get off. As long as I can swim I'll be fine." She said and Cory got out his iPad and keyboard. "Well why don't we look into the town a little more?" He said and the three ran up to the twins room and began to search. Allie wrote everything down.

 

[Lexus]

Clay smiled at the three of them run up the stairs and couldn't help but let out a happy laugh to himself as he laid back on the couch. For the first time in a long time it felt like how things used to when Ashley was around, it felt complete. The next big hurdle though would be having to tell everyone else.

 

[isax]

The three ran back down and Allie smiled. "Dad! Our school is called Jefferson Prep. It goes from 7th grade to 12th. School starts at 8:30 and ends at 4. So all three of us will be in the same school!" Allie said and smiled softly as did the boys. "I just don't approve of our school color." She said and laughed.

 

[Lexus]

Clay shook his head at his daughter. "That would be your one complaint." He says with a laugh. That's when everyone else came walking in. Emma, Gaven, Mallory and the kids. He smiled at the five of them and let go of Allie when Arabella came over and practically threw her seven year old self on top of him. "Well hello to you too." He says kissing her cheek and smiling.

 

[isax]

"Uncle Clay Uncle Clay! I'm doing softball now!" Arabella said as she smiled and stayed by Clay the entire time. She loved her uncle and never once liked to be away from him. She was close to him. "Hey Waters. What's new?" Gaven asked and Mallory went over to hug Clay then went over to the kids and hugged them and looked at the school they were looking at. "Ah, Jefferson huh?" She asked and the kids looked back at her. "A-Aunt Mal." Allie said and smiled. Reagan looked confused and looked at Rylan. Rylan simply looked down at his feet.

 

[Lexus]

"Oh you are? I bet your Aunt Ashley would get a kick out of that." He says with a smile setting her back down. "Okay, the Waters have something to tell the rest of you." He says with a soft sigh. Looking over to the kids with a faint smile as everyone else shot him confused glances. "Gaven sit down." He says knowing his friend very well might fall to the floor if he was standing.

 

[isax]

Gaven blinked but sat down and then looked at him. What could Clay possibly be telling them? Arabella looked a bit confused but smiled softly. "What is it Uncle Clay?" Arabella asked and Reagan looked at Rylan. Little did they know Reagan would take this hardest.
