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."

Cora smiled sadly and looked at him with slight amusement. "You don't have to sit here and pretend you're my friend, Jay."

"I'm not you're friend, I'm no one's friend. I don't even have a family." Jay pointed out. "It doesn't bother me."

Dawn suddenly blew chunks all over her sister. "I' sorry!" She squeaked, but held her stomach as it continued to feel uncomfortable.

Mia scratched her head, still not really remembering

Kitty winced and held her breath so she would throw up. She took off her clothes so she was only in a bra and underwear. "Gross." She said throwing them aside and scoot away from the outside aisle so no one would see her. "Mom can you come here!" She whined.

Avril nearly face palmed. "Do you have memory loss?"

"What? No. I just don't feel like reliving my awkward years." Mia shrugged.

Jane sighed and walked over, immediately wrinkling her nose. "Hell no, this one is on your dad." She said and walked away. "Griffen, your kids need you!"

Dawn whimpered and leaned against the window, groaning.

"I guess we're both outcasts then." Cora sighed, leaning against the window.

Kitty grimaced. "Mom! Come on I need clothes!" She whispered.

Griffin looked over at the girls. "Last time I recalled Jane, I'm not a woman so I'm not dealing with periods or any of that shit." He huffed and continued to play on his phone.

"What do you mean you're an outcast? Your mother was all over you when you came back mine could have seen my corpse and laughed." Jay snapped and leaned back to look over at Kitty with a grin trying to get a view.

"Nope, there is puke so it's yours." Jane said and grabbed his phone, putting it in her bra. "You can have it back when you go deal with that." She shrugged and crossed her arms over her chest in case he tried to reach in.

Jacki rolled her eyes and tossed her shirt off and over to Kitty. "Here, it will be longer on you." She said, knowing she was one of the taller girls in the group.

Kitty's gaze light up immediately. "Thank you Jacki." She said gratefully and put it over herself.

Griffin winced. "Why do I have to do it? You were the one dealing with the baby throw up all the time I never did that." He said and walked over to the girls and beckoned Kitty away before looking at Dawn. "Aw, Dawn you couldn't have thrown up in a bag or something?" He asked as he covered his nose and used kitty's dirty shirt to clean up the mess then spray it with some leather seat cleaner that was on the bus and threw the bag and shirt out the window. "You have a fever?" He asked and handed her a bag to throw up in in case it happened again.

Cora looked at him oddly. "You can have all the family and friends you'll ever need and still feel lonely. Do you honestly think I'm close with anyone on this bus?"

Dawn shook her head and vomited into the bag.

"Anytime." Jacki nodded.

"I don't know what to tell you Dawn." Griffin said sadly and grabbed a bottle of water and gave it to her. "Here. Sip up." He told her before returning back to Jane. "You're a sucky parent." He told her with a shrug.

Kitty rubbed her sisters back gently.

Jay shrugged. "No, but I don't care enough to notice. You talk to Alex." He pointed out.

"Take it back or you will never see our phone again." Jane huffed.

Dawn shook gently and gripped her sisters hand suddenly. "What if it's a baby?" She whispered, beginning to tear up with fear.

"Barely." Cora huffed. "He's always with Jacki anyways."

"It's almost dead anyway and we're not going to find electricity much anywhere." Griffin said pulling down the window and gestured to it. "Be my guest."

Kitty gave her sister a odd look. "No way." She laughed. She sounded almost crazy to her then gestured for her to pull up her shirt.

"He's a cutter." Jay pointed out. "I guess she's on the watch out for his wrists, you seen it yet? It's pathetic."

Jane rolled her eyes and laid down across his lap.

Dawn slowly obeyed her sister.

Cora blinked, slightly offended by his words. "He's your brother, fucking man up and be there for him." she spat, pushing past him to go sit alone in the back. Taking out a cigarette, she sunk down on the floor, hidden from view, and lit it.

Griffin closed the window. "That's what I thought." He said and leaned down to brush his lips over hers.  "So what were you thinking when I stabbed your girlfriend at the time at school?" He suddenly smirked.

Kitty winced and moved away from her only to look down.

Jay only grinned as she had finally lost his patience with him. It wasn't surprising. There wasn't one person who could actually tolerate his behavior. He was just like if not worse, Emmett.

"What?" Dawn asked quickly and put her shirt back down.

"How am I supposed to remember my exact thoughts from that long ago?" Jane huffed and crossed her arms.

"Because I'm pretty sure you were pissed off enough to remember. I mean, I just stabbed your girlfriend." Griffin pointed out and threw his hands behind his head leaning back.

Kitty shrugged. "It's just a little tiny, small, unnoticeable bump?" She said beneath her breath and glanced up at her to see a reaction.

Cora brought the cigarette to her lips and tiredly inhaled, letting her thoughts consume her, unaware of the tear that fell from her eye.

Alex plopped to the ground beside Cora and took the cig putting it out with one hand. "It's potent." He said sharply, and looked at her curiously. "What are you crying for? Did Jay say something harsh?" He asked and raised a hand to her cheek to sweep it away quickly.

"No." Cora replied, flinching away from his touch and looking away.

"Okay then." Alex shrugged and laid down on his belly beside her. "I'll wait."

"For?" Cora asked.
