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

[isax]

Jenna sighed because she knew why Clay was crying. She walked over and hugged him tight. "I'm sorry things didn't work out." She whispered. "But try to stay strong Clay. There are others and I know some other girl would be happy to fill that spot." She added and Rylan overheard. He knew what happened. His mother told him what she did and yes he was angry with her but she was still his mother. "I want to go with mom." Rylan said and Jenna looked at him. She sighed and shook her head. "Rylan... I know your mom. I think it's best if you just stay with your dad and the twins. Your mom won't be stable enough to care for you." Jenna told him and Rylan sighed. This was now the waters now. Was this still the family everyone wanted to be?

 

[Lexus]

Clay shook his head at Jenna but didn't let go of her grip for awhile. Clay was done with women, if his best friend couldn't last no one would. He was done. He looked to his son and composer himself. "Rylan, we will all sit done and discuss it okay?" Clay wasn't doing to force the kids to go where they didn't want them to go. He wanted them to be where they felt comfortable.

 

[isax]

That was the thing. Ashley already did something stupid. It wasn't so much her. Her aunt came to pick her up because she needed to be at the country but they ended up getting hit. Ashley was hit from the side head on. Jenna sighed at Rylan and then heard her phone go off. She read it and her eyes went wide. It was Mallory telling her what just happened. Jenna debated between telling Clay so she just stayed quiet. Rylan saw the worry in his aunts eyes. "What." Rylan said and Jenna smiled. "Nothing at all Ry." She lied. Rylan knew she was lying to him.

 

[Lexus]

Clay sighed when Jenna told him what had happened. "Of course," he said under his breathe. This is how it alway seemed to happen. Ashley would go do something stupid like this and he would have to forgive her and them they would move on. And if she didn't pull through he was going to be extremely angry. He drove to the hospital and walked up to Mallory. "What do you know?" He ask simply.

 

[isax]

"Coma... A broken leg on her right. Her aunt Jamies condition was less severe." Mallory told him as she sighed. Jenna had told her what happened. "She'll be fine Clay. Jaime is in room 215 if you want to go talk with her. Ashley's in the ICU." She told him then went up to the ICU to check on Ashley's vitals.

 

[Lexus]

When Clay heard that she would be okay that's all he really cared about for now. Which was horrible for him but he went into the room where Jamie was and stood beer the door. "are you feeling okay?" He asks. He was a little hesitant because he didn't know if she would be angry with him.

 

[isax]

Jaime smiled over at Clay and smiled. "Yeah. Peachy. Ashley got it the worst." She told him and sighed. "I'm sorry my niece did what she did but I'll always be there for you Clay." She said and laughed softly. Clay was her favorite. Mallory walked in and looked at Clay then at Jaime and sighed. "Okay. My bad for lying Clay, Ash is in critical condition. Like the doctor said, Ash is in a coma but we don't know if or when she will ever wake up." She told the two and Jaime sighed. "I knew I shouldn't have gone. She warned me about that truck." Jaime said and Mallory sighed too.

 

[Lexus]

"It's not your fault Jamie, she made that decision on her own, she isn't a little girl anymore." When Mallory walked in the room Clay sighed in frustration. "Ashley, always finds a way to rip me to pieces doesn't she?" Clay asks with sad eyes as he left the room he headed for the ICH when he saw Trent. He stopped dead in his tracks when he felt a growl in his throat. "what are you doing here?" He was of course angry with the man but if he could tell him anything he didn't already know he would take it.

 

[isax]

Trent looked over at Clay and smiled. "Oh so you are her husband? She was talking about you the entire time we had our fun. She is amazing in bed by the way. I see why you chose her." He told Clay and then laughed softly. "I just was in town to see her. She only did it with me that one night which was sad." He added and then Drew walked over to Trent and looked at Clay. "Oh yeah, Trents a close friend. I told him about Ash and thought maybe he should see her." Drew said. This was Drews way of getting to Clay and boy was he enjoying it.

 

[Lexus]

"I beg you did," Clay simpler walked passed the two of them. "By the way, I still am her husband." He calls back to them. Sure, it wasn't all Ashley's fault but still, even if she was set up she knew when to say no and walk away. He walked in the room and sat beside her, his eyes not leaving hers. He waited in the chair for her to open her eyes

 

[isax]

A month passed however, and Ashley had yet to open her eyes. Mallory was in the room and sighed. The doctor sure did mean it when he said she may or may not wake up from her coma but hopefully she would wake up soon. The kids stayed with Jenna and they were worried about their mother. Jaime ended up staying in the guest room at the Waters house. They all waited for one thing. For Ashley to wake up. Rylan had Jenna drop him off at home and he looked at his dad worried. "Dad I read online that when a person wakes up from their coma, they could lose their memory.... What if mom wakes up and doesn't remember any of us...?" He told him and sighed.

 

[Lexus]

"Then we help her remember." Clay says with a smile. He didn't want his son to be frightened. Clay had been doing things to distract himself from the situation. He knew Ashley would wake up, it was just a letter of time, he paid for her care. He wasn't that heartless, over this month in time he heard a rumor doing around that his wife was pregnant but he was never confirmed by doctors so he paid of no mind. "Don't worry Ry, she'll never forget you for good."

 

[isax]

Rylan sighed and shook his head. "You don't know that dad...." He said and then went up to his parents room and stared at the pictures of their memories. Mallory heard the rumors as well and was becoming worried. What if they were true. Whose child was it then? 2 months had past and finally at 3 in the morning on the start of her 3rd month, Ashley woke up. Mallory smiled at her and Ashley didn't remember what happened or why she was here at the hospital. "Mal, how long have I been asleep?" She asked only expecting it to be a day but Mallory didn't answer. She walked out to call Clay. "She's awake." She told him.

 

[Lexus]

Clay rolled out of the bed and got dressed and woke Jamie to come with him. He was of course relieved she was Awake and she remembered Mallory so that was a good thing. However despite the circumstances he refused to let this slide.

 

[isax]

When Jaime walked in, Ashley smiled but seeing Clay was shocking for her. He came to see her? "How long have I been asleep exactly? And what happened?" Ashley asked and Jaime looked at Clay then back at Ashley. "We got hit remember? You were in a coma for 2 months Ashley." Jaime said and Ashley blinked. Was this true? "For 2 months? You're lying." She told her and Jaime shook her head.

 

[Lexus]

"Actually today is three," Clays almost inaudibly not stepping forward. He had his hands in his pockets and he was looking at her with a friendly smile. "He really was more than greatdul she was AWWKE but he was still hurt.

 

[isax]

Ashley looked over at him and sighed. "You don't have to be here if you don't want to be here Clay." Ashley said as she looked away from him. She knew he was still hurt. She could tell. Drew and Trent however walked in and Drew looked from Clays hand to Ashleys and noticed no rings. Ashley looked at Trent and told him to leave along with Drew and but before Trent left he noticed what Drew did to and said, "Ha, I thought she was still your wife Clay. Guess not anymore." He said and that made Ashley look away and just close her eyes. She didn't want to be reminded.

 

[Lexus]

"That isn't any of your concern," he said through gritted teeth as they left. The one thing he wanted to know had yet to be brought up and he wasn't doing to be the one I bring it up. It would just make things worse, especially when there was a chance it wasn't his. "If I didn't want to be here I wouldn't have came."

 

[isax]

"I know... Sorry I said that." Ashley said as she looked away and the doctor walked in and told Ashley about the baby. Ashley's eyes grew wide and she looked at Clay then Jaime. "So the rumors are true." She said and Ashley looked at Clay then looked away. "I am pregnant." She whispered and sighed as she felt tears threaten to leave her eyes again. It had to be Clays but there was a chance it wasn't his and it was Trent's which she really hoped wasn't true. Ashley didn't say anything after that. The room just fell silent for the longest time.

 

[Lexus]

Clay sighed and bit his lip in utter frustration. Even if it was his it wasn't going to change anything but if it wasn't he would sign the papers that much faster. "Well, looks like you have six months to get yourself together." Clay says simply.

 

[isax]

"Just leave Clay... I'll go sign the papers the minute I get out. Not like this will change anything if it is yours." She told him and Jaime sighed. She didn't like the way the were acting. She was going to have to be there for Ashley since nobody else would. Ashley wouldn't survive this alone.

 

[Lexus]

Clay just nodded and left. He was sincerely done, with everything. Two months had passed and today they were sitting the kids down to discuss were they wanted to go. Clay didn't mention the baby but the kids seemed okay with it for the most part. Of course Rylan was the only one who knew it might not be his father'x. The twins came running through the door and hugged him after spending the day with their mother. Allie seemed excited. "What? What is it?" He asks with a laugh kissing her forehead as Ashley walked in. He hadn't seen her since the hospital, whenever she came to get the kids she waited outside and didn't come in, it was evident she was expecting and he smiled lightly at the sight of her before turning back to their daughter.

 

[isax]

"Nothing. I'm just excited for our younger sibling." Allie said as she smiled but hugged her dad tight again. They all sat down and Rylan sighed. He didn't want his parents to divorce. He really didn't. "We want to go with dad. No offense to you or anything mom." Allie said and she simply shook her head and smiled. "No no, it's fine." She said then looked at Rylan. "I don't want y'all to divorce." He said and Ashley sighed as she looked away. "But I-I... I want to stay with dad." He said and Ashley simply smiled. Not only did she lose her husband but she lost all her kids too. "If it makes you happy then okay. I'm fine with it." She told him and then stood up when they went upstairs. She smiled at Clay weakly then walked towards the door. She really screwed up her life.

 

[Lexus]

Clay looked in disbelief at the staircase as his kids walked up the stairs. Why did Rylan chose him last minute? They already discussed him going with his mother . Clay turned to Ashley with apologetic eyes. He wasn't going to force him. "They'll always be here when you went them," he offers her as reassurance. And before she turned to leave Clay spoke. "Ashley, I just want you to know of you ever need anything you can ask. I still care about you." How could he not? They spent so much of their lives together

 

[isax]

"Thank you but I..... I think it's time I be my own rock Clay." Ashley said as she looked back at him with tear filled eyes and smiled a fake smile. One that hadn't been seen since they were younger. She left and drove back to her apartment her and her Aunt Jaime lived in. She sighed as she sat in he car and continued to cry. She couldn't do this. She went to the pier and sat their staring at her reflection. She didn't know who she was anymore.
