New Reigns

First topic message reminder :

"Dad!" Thomas had darted over to his father's car as he had parked and gave him dabs.
Griffin rubbed his head. "Tommy." He greeted and rubbed his eleven year old's head affectionately. "I hope you're playing fair." He told him and grabbed the basketball from his hands and threw it over to Benjamin who quickly tossed it through the hoop. The group of boys, Presley Dustin, Alex, Benjamin, Jay, Jasper, Seth and Tyrese were often outside
"I told you Tyrese sucks at basketball, Jasper." Benjamin  stated annoyed with his brother as he had hopped in front of the boy to claim the ball before he could, and began to dribbled around attempting to avoid him.
Griffin shook his head and watched his son dart over back to the other boys and headed over to the house where fifteen year old Kitty was sitting with her ipod blasting beside her sister Dawn while doing her nails. "Did mom make you two hang out together again?" He asked as he made his way inside.
"Hi daddy." Kitty greeted then shook her head. "No, we were bored." She admitted. "And worrying about finding a boyfriend." She smirked knowing how much that bothered her father.
"You wish." Griffin said and grabbed both of their phones checking through  the contacts. "I want those boys deleted both of you." He said and smacked both their heads lightly before heading inside. "And remember, I don't want you guys hanging around Alex or Jay alone." He warned and walked over to Jane and kissed her head. "Hey baby." He greeted and sat beside her.

Tyrese glared at his brother then grabbed the ball and threw it at his head. "Shut up faggot!" He said and punched him in the stomach.
Benjamin put his younger brother in  head lock. "I'm going to kick your ass kid."

"It's not my fault." Alex shrugged. "I try to behave."

"Well mom," Jay said with a sudden grin before jumping up onto a table. "you can royally kiss my spanked ass." He said enthusiastically before hopping onto a different one.

Bladen looked back to Summer. At this point what was there to be done?

Summer stared at him before walking over and pulling him down again, pulling him down to the floor roughly. Once he was down she slapped him across the face twice. Deciding it better not to let him back up again she grabbed a wooden spoon from behind the counter and handed it to Bladen. "You're a lot stronger than me Bladen."

Jay winced as he was slapped twice across the face. "Yeah go ahead, I fucking hate you both anyway. You guys can burn in hell!"

Bladen winced at his words but narrowed his eyes and dragged him up onto his feet to hit him with the item continuously for a few minutes as hard as he could.

Summer stood with her arms crossed and shook her head.

Bladen dropped the spoon after a few moments. He looked down at Jay who was obviously red from all the lashes he had gotten. "Get on your feet."

"Fuck. Off." Jay snapped pushing himself beneath the table. "I hope you both die."

Angel had been peeking over at them from the door and scurried back downstairs.

Summer looked outside. "Really?" Crouching down she looked him straight in the eye. "So if I walked out that door, you wouldn't give two shits?" She asked and suddenly stood up and stepped outside.

"I didn't say it was." Cora replied simply.

"I don't care go die!" Jay shouted angrily.

Bladen walked over to the door keeping it open. "Come on Summer, get back inside. You're not proving any point." He sighed. He blinked as the door suddenly shut behind him and Jay locked it.

Alex slowly walked upstairs to eaves drop only to see what Jay had done. Without hesitating, he punched his brother across the face and opened the door for his parents. "Mom! Dad!"

Summer came back inside with Bladen and looked at Jay. "You're no son of mine." She spat at him and looked gratefully at Alex.

Bladen glared at his child. He'd never thought he'd get so much disrespect from Jay, Alex maybe but never Jay. Feeling a bit unworthy he slowly made his way back downstairs to grab a drink. His son had really wanted him dead. That was a bit hard to cope with.

Alex watched his father go and looked at his mother gently nudging her along to leave Jay behind. "Come on mom." He encouraged.

Jay glared at Alex and his mother.

Cora watched as Bladen, Alex, and Summer returned downstairs. Frowning, she walked upstairs and cautiously approached Jay.

Jay remained under the table with his knees to his chest and his gaze fixed away from him.

Alex noticed Cora pass them on the way up and huffed. All he could think was Jay didn't deserve any sympathy from anyone.

Cora studied him quietly. Oddly enough, she felt like she could relate to him. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Jay said sharply not meeting eye contact with her.

Ryder sighed and listened to all of the drama and teens unfolding around her. She only assumed it was because everyone had been living their own separate lives inside of their homes, but now were all figuratively sleeping in the same bed. She slid over to Miles and sat beside him since he seemed to be a nautical party. "Hey," she greeted quietly.

Miles turned his attention onto Ryder as she had approached him and managed a small smile. He enjoyed her presence though they were brief. "You feeling alright?" He asked. He had already set up his sleeping back on the floor and pillow, deciding to hit the hay after having a drink or two.

"Yeah," Ryder replied and shrugged nonchalantly, "just bored is all." Noticing Mile's floor set up, she raised her brow and stifled a brief chuckle. "Is it past your bedtime?" She teased.

Miles grinned at her taunt. "Of course it is." He agreed and scooted over to allow her on the mat next to him. "Aren't we all a bit bored? It's a great time for a rest though."

Ryder chuckled and leaned back onto the mat beside him. She looked up at the ceiling of the basement for a few moments before shutting her eyes. "If you want to sleep, I'll leave you alone," she told him quietly.

"I do want to sleep but I don't want to be alone." Miles responded throwing his hands behind his head and staring up at the ceiling as well. "Alone is all I've ever been. My brother, and sister have their own family then there's me you know?"

Jacki sat back with Elliot and yawned.

Summer shook her head and remained in the far corner.

Daw rubbed her eyes and decided to go up and listen to Cora and Jay, curious to what went on up there.

Bladen sat beside Summer and let out a small sigh. "He's just retaliating because he's a teenager, he'll grow out of it and regret every word he said." He attempted to cheer her up.

Jay slid out from beneath the table and sat on top of it.

Ryder nodded, "I feel you." She crossed her arms and kicked off her shoes and slid them to the side. She stared up at the ceiling in thought. "There's somebody out there for everybody," she encouraged, "some people are just luckier than others."

"Doubt it." Summer grumbled and leaned against the wall.

Dawn raised a brow. "So what happened?"

Miles nodded and focused his gaze on her for a moment before looking away. "Options have become limited..." He sighed.

"I got beat." Jay responded bluntly. "Like I care anyway." He grinned.

"Haven't you ever told your parents something you regret saying?" Bladen offered quietly.
