Brushing Us Apart

First topic message reminder :

Benjamin stood in the airport gazing at the  departures. "Ashlee, let's go to Texas and get a house down there, how about it?" He asked and looked over at the teens who were obviously uncomfortable in their new clothing having never wore anything like it before.

"I hate this." Chase snapped and looked down at his clothes. He was only in a white t shirt, baggy blue jeans, and a pair of expensive sneakers. "It's not fair! We can't we just have underwear like we did at the island."

Isa crossed her arms feeling just as uncomfortable.

Cece looked at her kids and crossed her arms. "Chase knock it off, Isa and Spencer, we're going to Georgia with Alex, and Jay."

Mason looked up abruptly. What? He had spent so much time with Spence over these past few months it couldn't just end like that.

"I just lost." Spencer pointed out.

"Yay!" Jordan squealed and ran out to Chase.

Chase grinned and helped her on behind him and tugged on  Dusk's lines so he began to run downtown to the breeders farm and stopped there tying him up to the post. He walked over to the door and knocked on it till a guy came out and took them to the back where some horses were being sold. "Come on pick one." He said enthusiastically.

"I promise it'll be  great." Nathan promised and looked at her with a small grin.

Jordan spent a few moments before pointing out a Paint horse. "Her, I want her." She nodded.

Spencer grunted and continued to bury her face in Petra's mane.

"Really?" Chase said with a scoff but looked as the owner  put out his hand for the money.

Nathan slowly put a hand on her back and rubbed it gently. "I'll pick you up tonight." He promised and trotted off.

Spencer sighed and sat quietly on Petra's back, leading him elsewhere.

"Yes." Jordan huffed and handed the man money. "Why? There is nothing wrong with her."

"She has funny fur patterns." Chase said and watched as the man guide the horse over to Jordan. "What are you going to name her?"

Nathan wondered over to his sister Emery. "Why is Spencer so lonely?"

"I don't know." Emery shrugged.

"I think she's pretty." Jordan snapped and patted her face gently. "I like the name Megan." She nodded.

"For a horse? Why couldn't we name our daughter something like that?" Chase asked not minding her snap.

"Emery!" Nathan groaned. "Wait are you a virgin?"

"I'm not answering that." Emery said.

"You are such a buzz kill you know that?" Jordan growled and led her horse out. "Fine, I'll think of something else."

"When are we going to have a baby? Can we have one soon?" Chase begged and walked alongside her.

"Come on tell me." Nathan begged. "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of anything you sicko." Emery growled. "You're my brother."

"Not for a long time." Jordan said. "We still have to go to school."

"So what I wanna know." Nathan huffed and crossed his arms stubbornly. "Fine I'll ask Genie." He grumbled and walked off to his sister.

"Jordan! Come on!" Chase begged ready to throw a tantrum. "I'd be a good dad you know I would." He waited till they were up at the horse post to lean lean in and kiss her. "School is whack anyway, besides we can do it."  He tied her horse to the post and picked her up so her legs were around his waist firmly and held her in close. "I love you and I want us to stay together forever." He begged and ran a hand through her hair. "I promise I'll take care of it too I'll be the best."

Mason laid in his bed listening to music with his expensive headphones his parents had bought for him. In a way, he got to lose himself in the music and try to forget about everything but there was just one thought that didn't want to leave. Spence. Since he had arrived in his new home he had gotten dozens of braille books too and learned to read by them.  The piercing loneliness he felt in his chest only grew more painful as he flashed back to all the fun they had had on the boat before they arrived then in the island.
Slowly taking off his head phones, he broke down into a sob and began to throw everything around him into the wall then dropped to the floor and curled up with his hands on his head. Before she had tagged along he could handle his solitude with enthusiasm, now it was just to see how long it would take before he straight up lost his mind. He got to his knees  and pressed his hands harder against his head and shook harder wailing as loud as he could trying to let it all out. No matter how much he was trying to just empty it out, it all just felt like a haze of effortless work. 
A year, it had been that long, a year. Everyday he remained so calm on the outside, while he felt as if he was burning on the inside. Was he ever going to get it back? He curled up on the floor again wheezing while he sobbed. He wasn't ready to move anymore. He was going to stay put no matter what. He had no motivation anymore.

Ashlee listened to the sound of her son and turned to Ben. "He's heartbroken." She frowned and got up to go and knock on his door.

Jordan sighed. "Chase I know all these things, but I mean come on. It won't be easy and we won't have time to be us anymore, we will have to be parents instead."

Ben watched Ashlee go upstairs  and sighed. "He just needs to get out there he'll be fine I promise." He said with a curd nod and leaned back in his chair.

Mason continued to sob quietly on the floor being unable to help it even after his mother had knocked on the door.

Chase shrugged. "So what? Please. Come on."

Ashlee opened the door and knelt down beside him, pulling him into her arms. "Come on, its ok."

"No." Jordan huffed anf stroked her horse.

"Fine." Chase snapped and got on his horse abruptly and had him speed off.

Mason nuzzled into his mother and tried to cease his crying.

Jordan sighed and patted her horse before getting on her back. "Let's go baby." She said.

"Mason, there are other girls out there..." Ashlee said softly and rubbed his back.

Chase sat in his room tired and pissed off he had been turned down.

Mason lifted his head and looked at his mother. "I don't want another girl just her."

Jordan led Baby into her own yard and patted her head gently.

"I know it hurts." Ashlee murmured.

"I need her mom I need her." Mason whimpered to his mother.

Nathan walked over to Isa's room and knocked on the door lightly offering a dozen roses.

Chase looked out the window with narrowed eyes and began walk over to Jay's place and into Emery's room.

"What do you want?" Emery questioned.

Spencer peered out her door and stared at him oddly.

"I know baby, I know." Ashlee said and kissed his face.

"Come on Spence, I kicked my own ass looking for these roses in town."  Nathan said holding them out to her. 

Mason rubbed his eyes and stifled  a few hiccups. "You and dad don't care about my feelings to her I can't do this anymore. Mama, I've called and I only get voicemails."

"To have sex." Chase said pulling off his pants. At this point if he had a baby by anyone it'd be a score.

"Then go get her baby." Ashlee said and squeezed him a bit.

Spencer took the flowers and nodded a quick thank you before moving them into a vase.

Emery shrugged and took her shirt off as she lay back on the bed.

Chase  hopped on the bed and pulled off her underwear and leaned in beginning to lap at her and rub her clit taking out his rage on doing this. Why couldn't she just do it? It wasn't so bad.

"You'll take me there?" Mason said raising his head to focus his attention on his mother. Having only been in the country for a year he barely knew how to work things let alone with his sight.

Nathan quickly took her hand and helped her onto his horse outside and began to ride off into town to a old pub.

"I have to work...I'll teach you how to get yourself there." Ashlee promised.

Spencer sighed. "I could have taken Petra you know."

Emery moaned immediately and spread her legs wide for him.
