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

[isax]

Ashley felt dumb for just asking that question. She forgot it was a school day. "I forgot today was a school day." She told him and laughed softly then threw on her blue jean pants and a t-shirt.

 

[Lexus]

"Must be that old age," He says teasingly scrubbing up his face and walking into the bathroom to brush his hair. "Do you feel any better?"

 

[isax]

Ashley mocked her husband and then sighed. She was getting old. "Yeah. A little better." She told him and walked to the bathroom to brush her hair out too.

 

[Lexus]

"Good," He says with a smile kissing her cheek. "Want to go get something to eat?" He asks he knew the both of them hadn't eaten today and he could use some food.

 

[isax]

"Yeah. Sounds good." She told him with a smile and fixed her hair and just let it stay down. She smiled softly in the mirror and realized she never wore make up in her life. Well except when Jenna would make her but Clay always took it off.

 

[Lexus]

Clay nodded and took her hand in his and turned off the lights before picking up the keys and heading for the truck.

 

[isax]

Ashley smiled and followed her husband to the truck. She got in and held his hand when he began to drive. "So where will we go eat?" She asked with a smile.

 

[Lexus]

"Wherever you feel goin'"Clay answers simply pulling out of the driveway and turning onto the street towards the busy road looking on both sides of the road for anything that looked good.

 

[isax]

"It doesn't really matter to me." Ashley said with a laugh as she looked with her husband as well. In all honesty, she just wanted to go to the country.

 

[Lexus]

"I know what you're thinking, and sadly there isn't enough time for that before the youngin' get home." He admitted to her before he pulled into the diner. "You miss it here?" He asks with a laugh turning to her as they both got out of the truck.

 

[isax]

Ashley blinked and just laughed. "I wasn't thinking of anything." She lied and then got out of the truck and walked into the diner with him and laughed again. "Not at all." She said until she got pushed to the ground. She looked up and saw Claire with Drew. Her eyes grew wide as drew looked over at her. "Oh I'm sorry Ashley. Let me help you up." Drew said and Ashley ignored the hand he held out to help her.

 

[Lexus]

(Somebody wants to die today. [emoji2])


Clay looked over and saw the two and instantly offered his aid to his wife before placing her behind him safely. "What in the hell do you think you two are doing?" Clay asked obviously livid that they would even think of doing that in front of him. "I thought I already taught you a lesson to stay away from her." Clay rolled up his sleeves instinctively.

 

[isax]

(I know right.)


"Oh but I am friends with her parents Clay. I wanted to invite her to the country with us. Her parents are taking Claire and I." Drew said and Ashley looked at them. It disgusted her that her parents would hang out with them. "Plus, they do say they wish I would have married Ashley instead of you." He added and Ashley looked away. Claire looked at her and laughed. "What's wrong Ashley? Can't fight your own battles?" She asked and Ashley stayed quiet. It was only because of Drew.

 

[Lexus]

Clay laughed out of anger, "I bet they do, after all they don't care about their daughter so what does it matter if she married an abusive man. Yeah, you for their profile real well." Not to mention if he married Ashley he probably would have let her die. "Touch her, I promised you if you ever did again you would regret it." Clay meant those words after discovering what he had done to Ashley he had the urge to kill him off with his bare hands. "As for you," Clay says turning to Claire wrapping his hand tightly around her wrist and twisting it making her wince. "Talk to her like that again and I'll make that promise to you too."

 

[isax]

"Clay stop." Ashley whispered and grabbed her husbands arm. She didn't want anything to start. Claire looked at Clay and pulled her wrist away. "Yeah Clay, stop." She said and Drew laughed. "So how are those lungs working for you Ash?" He asked as he grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him in a tight hug. It caused Ashley to gasp and stiffen. She hated this. "L-let me go...." She said and Drew looked at Clay with a smile. "You should come with us Ashley. We all know you hate living here in the city but are to afraid to tell your husband anything. It's sad really, he should be able to read you like a book. Shouldn't he know you aren't happy?" Drew asked and Ashley just looked away.

 

[Lexus]

"Let to of her." Clay's voice was stern as he pulled his wife back to his safety. The only reason he restrained himself is because he knew Ashley didn't want anything to start. "Leave her alone and go."

 

[isax]

Ashley put her head against Clays chests and looked away from Drew and Claire. "She isn't happy with you Clay. She deserves better then you." Drew said then walked off. Claire followed after him.

 

[Lexus]

"Oh yeah, totally. In what world are you better than me? Iu would beat her to death if you had the chance." With that he walked with her inside the diner. He couldn't help but heel a sting at Drew's words even though he knew he was just trying to upset Ashley he was right, she wasn't happy here not anymore.

 

[isax]

Ashley sat across from her husband and looked at him. She knew what he was thinking and she sighed. "It's okay Clay. Drew just wants to get under our skin. I'm fine. I'm content with where we are." She told him and smiled softly.

 

[Lexus]

Clay unfolded his hands and looked at her. "I know what he's trying to do but that doesn't mean he isn't telling the truth, you personally are not gone here, if the kids were out of the picture you and I both know we would have left a long time ago."

 

[isax]

Ashley sighed at her husband but then smiled. "But the kids are in the picture Clay. I'm fine. I told you I was. You built this house for us and we aren't leaving it. I'm fine." She told him with a faint smile.

 

[Lexus]

"You're not fine though and you know it. So what? I built a house, it's. Just a house, it'll always be there. I built it because I wanted you to be happy and have a life there but you're not happy. The kids, I don't know what they have told you but there is no one specific place we belong, where we belong is where we all are happy as a family and if that's not here then we move on."

 

[isax]

Ashley sighed and just stayed quiet the entire time they ate and when they went home, she simply went up to their room and sat in the ground in front of all their pictures she had up. She sighed again. Why does it feel like she failed as a wife and a mother? Clay was right, she wasn't happy. She was at the beginning but then things changed. The twins always told Ashley she was always with Rylan more then anything but she couldn't help it. She thought she was splitting herself evenly with all three. She wasn't obviously.

 

[Lexus]

Clay walked up to the room and sat down beside her. He let out a sigh before he entered this was almost like when she was afraid the twins would avert her attention away from their son. "Ashley, I didn't mean it like that, what I meant was, you're a wonderful mother and the kids are more than lucky to have you. You can only divide yourself up so much love, and you've been through a lot, I mean less than a year ago I was preparing myself for doing this alone and that's not something I ever want you to go through again. All I'm trying to say is, you've been through so much in your life, things I couldn't protect you from I just want you to be happy and never have to go through any of those things again. You deserve that, whether you believe it or not you do and I will not allow you to sacrifice your happiness anymore. The kids, their kids they'll adapt.we all just want you to be happy and you're not."

 

[isax]

Ashley sighed and just stayed looking away from her husband. It didn't matter that she wasn't happy. Her kids and her husband were. That's all that mattered to her. "It's alright if I'm not happy Clay. The kids and you are. Id rather know y'all are happy then you all not being happy just trying to make me happy. I'll be fine. Really I will be." She told him. She always put everyone before her. That was just the way she was. Rylan heard and sighed then walked in and said, "We're home." He then went to the twins room where they had a talk. They needed to. Rylan knew his mother wasn't happy. He knew what her happy was.
