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."

"Stress can make people do strange things." Cora told him.

"Because you want me to leave." Dawn smirked.

Summer kissed him back gently.

Alex didn't respond. Perhaps it was just worse influence. He walked away from Cora and took a spot alone.

Jay glared at the door as a silhouette stood before it. Immediately he grasped onto a gun that was in his pocket and shot whoever it was.

Bladen pulled away and jumped as he heard glass shatter and a gunshot upstairs. "Please don't let that be Jay..."

"Jay no!" Dawn shouted and threw open the door to pull the figure in.

Summer immediately stood up and went upstairs.

Percy held his side and limped in. He took off the gear that shielded him from the storm and noticed the blood stain on his shirt growing. Noticing three familiar figures, he grinned. "Hey guys." He said through a small laugh despite his pain before sitting on the floor against the wall. "Friendly introductions are always great."

Jay dropped his gun in surprise as he noticed it was Percy once Dawn helped him in.  Why the hell had he just done that?

"Aria!" Summer called down to her, waiting a few moments before Aria came into view and ran over to Percy.

"Oh my god! Are you ok?"

Cora tilted her head and followed him. "What's wrong?"

"I'm alive aren't I?" Percy managed and tried to sit up. "It's great to see ya babe." He said and tap kissed her but winced at the movement.

Jay backed off to the far end of the room. Maybe he was better off gone? Darting off downstairs he grabbed his backpack and stole a few water bottles and began to wrap up his face, and put on a pair of goggles

Alex stared up as he heard a gunshot. "That was weird." He looked over at Jay oddly. What was he doing now?

Cora recognized Jay's intention and gently grabbed his arm. "Jay, no. Don't do this, you're not thinking straight."

Jay jerked his arm away quickly. "Screw off." He snapped. He only needed himself now. He wasn't going to stay and take shit from everyone about what he did. Twice. He walked upstairs and stood awaiting his chance.

Bladen got up and was about to approach his son but figured the girl could take care of the task of stopping him better than he could at the moment.

"Listen to me!" Cora growled, following him. "No one really gives a shit about what you did, alright? You fucked up, end of story. It's over. Now grow up and face it, are you really willing to just run off on your own? You know Dawn's going to follow you, and Alex, and consequently Jacki and I. Do you really want to risk all of our lives?"

"No one is following me don't any of you understand the meaning of solitude?" Jay shouted back stepping face to face with her. "I'd rather die a thousand deaths than stay here a day more." He sneered.

Cora lifted her chin defiantly and met his gaze. "Fine. But you're not going on your own."

Dawn stepped up behind Jay and spun him around, pulling the stuff off his face to kiss him passionately.

Aria hugged Percy tightly, not caring if blood got on her.

Jay rolled his eyes at Cora coming to the conclusion she was bluffing. When spun, he immediately returned the kiss only to pull away after a moment and cover himself back up to walk through the door without a hint of hesitation.

Percy looked at Aria and winced. "Do you think you know what to with my wound?" He asked while panting. "Jay..." He looked over at the teen uneasily. He didn't want him to feel as if the blame was on him.

Huffing, Cora followed him outside and pulled her shirt over her mouth, squinting her eyes and following his shadow. "Little shit." she muttered darkly.

Dawn followed along side Cora. "Jay come on!"

"I don't know what to do." Aria admitted.

"Well, that's how it is," Ryder told him and slid her forearm behind her head. "Unless you want to be stuck with me for life."

Jay darted ahead away from the girls. With his goggles, he had an advantage. Glancing back he shook his head. He couldn't just leave them. Turning around he shoulder past the two for them to follow back to the diner and opened the doors to go inside. If he wanted to leave it would have to be quick and clean not when others would follow.

"You act like that's a bad thing." Miles responded quietly and looked at her with a soft expression.

Dawn went back inside with Jay and pulled Cora in, locking the door. Shooting a glare at Jay she shook her head in disappointment.

Jay looked at Dawn uneasily as she glared at him. "Did you think I was stupid enough to let you guys follow me?" He asked sharply.

"In a way, it is," Ryder replied and rolled over onto her stomach and rested her chin on her forearm. "I'm not the most interesting person."

Cora rolled her eyes. "I told you we would."

"Probably not to others. But to me you're grea." Miles quickly turned her back onto her back with one hand gently.

Jay grimaced and sat quietly. "I just want to be alone none of you understand."

"Thanks," Ryder muttered half heartedly and raised her brow as she was pushed onto her back.
