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

[isax]

Clay wasn't alone for the entire night because as always, Rylan made way to the room and laid in his mothers side with his dad. He loved smelling the lavender and lilac scent his mother left behind. He felt safe sleeping here.

Clay opened his eyes when Rylan came in the room but didn't turn to face him until he knew he was asleep again. He then watched him sleep as he had Ashley before he scooted closer and wrapped him safely in his arms.

When Rylan woke up, he wasn't expecting to be wrapped up in his fathers arms. He smiled softly and then yawned as the twins ran into the room. "Let's go you two! We have a game today!" Cory said and Allie smiled. Rylan sighed.

Clay opened his eyes and sighed as well. He knew Rylan wasn't ready to go back and he hadn't and he wasn't doing to force him back into it. When the twins left Clay released Ry from his arms. "Do you want to play today?"

Rylan sighed but then nodded. "Yeah. It's been 5 months. All my games and hard work now are going to be for mom." He told his dad and smiled a smile from ear to ear. "I'll be in the mlb for the Yankees and when they ask me what my drive and motivation was, I'll say my mom. I know even if she isn't here anymore she's cheering me on up in heaven." He added and then got up and walked to his room and looked at his uniform that was untouched for 5 months. "All for you mom. Help me today. On that red dirt we both call home." He whispered and got dressed.

Clay sighed again when his son walked away. "Lord help me, my son wants to be a Yankee. This is your fault." He says pointing to a picture of her on the wall before pulling himself out of the bed and getting dressed. "A Yankee? You couldn't have picked a better team Ashley?" He laughed at himself knowing she wouldn't answer. He must've looked cray to everyone with the amount if time he spent talking to his dead wife.

Allie looked at her dad and laughed and looked at the picture of her mom. "Yeah mom! Why not the Braves?" She said talking to the picture and then looked at her dad and smiled. She always made her dad feel less crazy because she talked to her dead mother too. "She's probably saying, Don't hate on my Yankees! Once a Yankee fan always a Yankee fan!" Allie said and laughed then hugged her father close.

"You're probably right, let's go," he says leading her out of the room and starting their breakfast. when they were finish he drove them to the field. The field still was an uneasy place for him to be but he pushed through it for the kids.

Sadly today they were playing Garcias team. Allie and Reagan sighed as they sat out like always on the bench but Rylan and Cory were determined to win. For their mother. Rylan heard their boys talking and he already knew what he was going to do. He was pitching this game anyways. Claire looked at Clay and smiled as she didn't see Ashley. She was unaware of Ashley's passing.

Clay sighed. This all seemed too familiar. Except this time he was alone. He saw Claire smile towards him but paid her no attention. He didn't want anyone's sympathy. He assumed she knew, everyone knew. They were the Waters. When the game started he clapped his hands and watched the kids play.

Cory was up to bat first and wasn't paying attention when Rylan noticed the pitch. The same one that got thrown at him. "Cory move!" Rylan said and he did just that and jogged to first. The pitcher gave Rylan a glare and he smiled. He then was up to bat and hit a home run. His first one over the fence. Everyone was in shock. While running, Rylan looked up and smiled. "All for you mom." He then was greeted by a hug from his team back at home plate.

Clay smiled big at his sons and stood up and clapped for them. He knew their mother would be proud. However, if either of them were hurt he wouldn't put up with it. Especially of it was Claire's son.

Rylan looked out to his dad and smiled and then it was there turn to go back out. Rylan was pitching and a line drive came straight back to him. Rylan acted fast and moved but it hit the back of his shoulder. Rylan held it and Cory ran over. Allie and Reagan ran out and too along with their coach. "Ry you alright?" He asked and Rylan simply nodded. He wasn't going down that easy.

Clay was going to say something but Gaven beat him to it yelling out threats. Clay pushed him back. "Gav, he's fine, let him play." He says. "He's a Waters, it's in his blood." He knew his son wasn't going to give up easily but his blood began to boil when Claire headed their way.

Rylan looked over at his dad and uncle and gave them a nod of his head before he stood up and everyone went back to where they were. Rylan pitched and threw a 75 which shocked everybody once more. He was still young. To young to be throwing a 75. His coach was proud of him. So was Gaven and when Claire walked over he sighed. "Your boy needs to react faster." She told him and laughed softly.

Clay closed his eyes and clenched his fists taking a deep breathe. He wasn't going to be immature and insult her kid because that's just what she wanted but if she said even Ashley's name he would have to be restrained. "If she says anything," he says with a scoff to Gaven. He knew he wouldn't stop him, if anything he would help.

And that's what Claire did. Bring up Ashley. "Oh where's your wife Clay? She didn't want to come see her baby's play?" She said and laughed and Mallory shook her head. Just great. She was going to have to hold her husband and Clay back.

That's when he didn't care anymore, he didn't care if he had to be removed. He walked up to her not leaving a space between them and Gaven followed behind. "You leave her out of this!" Clay exclaims. Anger in his eyes. Everyone else knew what had happened and they knew Claire took it too far. "She was better than you, she is better than you! A better person, a better mother a better wife and you have no right to talk to her that way." His anger was turning him hot. Gaven tried to reach for her but Mallory pulled him back. "Don't say her name." He threatened.

"And if I do? Ashley was it?" Claire said as she looked at Clay. Everyone looked at her and shook their head and Rylan heard and shook his head. "Leave my dad alone already!" He called out and the umpire looked around at the two and the commotion that was happening but he too knew what happened to Ashley and Claire was pushing her luck.

And that's when he did it. Something he told himself he never would do, not to a woman. She wasn't a woman though, she was anything but. Without hesitation when her name came out of her mouth he slapped her, he slapped her hard making her fall backwards before he walked away. He didn't care what Gaven did to her, he was done with her.

Gaven looked at Clay and then his wife and then went after Clay. When he caught up he looked at his friend and said, "Clay, are you alright?" He asked knowing his friend wasn't.

Clay was holding his hand waiting for it to stop stinging before he turned to Gaven. Clay shook his head to towards his friend. "Why did you ever let me be with her?" He asks with a scoff. He hated her, no body ever said bad things about his wife and when they did he didn't take it well even more now.

Gaven laughed and shrugged. "I don't Clay. You seemed in love with her back in the day." He told him and laughed soft then patted his back. "Come on bro. The kids are doing one hell of a job today." He said and walked him back to the bleachers where Mallory smiled.

Clay shifted uncomfortably when Gaven patted his back. "You're wrong and you know it," he says in a whisper. "I only fell in love once." When they reached the bleachers agin he didn't see Mallory as he sat back down he felt eyes all settle on him/

Gaven sighed as he heard what his friend said but he sat down and continued watching the game and when it was over, Rylan ran over to his dad. "Two home runs today!" He said and smiled.
