"Can I come with? It's been a while since I've seen her."
âSure, itâs been awhile since Iâve seen either of them⌠they dont Visit me anymore,â he joked.
Lillian laughed a little, "Well they should."
âYet they donât,â he sighed throwing he ball again, âjerks,â
A hopeful future, a simple life, a happy home where they could forget the past and rewrite the present to create the future they wanted. That's all she could ever want and it shone through her eyes.
The sound of the rest of the room slowly leaked back into his senses, allowing him to remember where he was.
"Really big jerks," Lillian said with a mock meanness, "We should give them a stern scolding."
Mandy stood close by, slightly breathless but not wanting to interrupt their moment. She could hear the rest of the world coming back despite how much she didn't want it to.
"Really big jerks," Lillian said with a mock meanness, "We should give them a stern scolding."
âYes! That we should!â Darren smiled. Cooperâs head sprung up, he looked at Lillian who was next to him and too close and then to his brother. âItâs not what it looks like! I didnât do it!â He panicked to much he fell off he bed.
Lillian burst out laughing as Cooper fell on the floor, "Didn't do what Cooper? Huh? What didn't you do?"
(Sorry. A toddler stole my phone but he was really cute so I let him have it for awhile)
Mandy stood close by, slightly breathless but not wanting to interrupt their moment. She could hear the rest of the world coming back despite how much she didn't want it to.
Well⌠that happened and the sad part was, heâd do it again no matter where they were.
Lillian burst out laughing as Cooper fell on the floor, "Didn't do what Cooper? Huh? What didn't you do?"
âI didnât⌠nevermind!â He huffed as he stood up.
"As cute as this was, running around to avoid causing a big racket by kids noticing is tiring so keep the PDA to a minimum if you don't mind." She huffed.
Ryan laughed, âSorry Mandy,â
"Nah, it's adorable I don't mind. But the parents of the kids might so save yourselves the trouble."
âPfft free entertainment!â He joked.
"Oh! That reminds me! The older class is later and Jenna had to cancel so can you do it?" "I don't knowâŚ" "Oh come on, please?" You're already tired and you have a lot to do, don't do it. "Sure." "Yay!" WHY??
Ryan smiled, he was content with going anywhere and doing anything with her.
"Wait, isn't the older class right after this one?" "Yep! But after this class my shift's over so you'll be stuck with Annie." "OhâŚcool." While it might not be obvious, Mandy was a manipulator. She forced people to do what she wanted and if they didn't, she'd throw a tantrum.
Ryan saw it but he was raised around manipulative people. He shot Belle a look, he could get her out of this if she really didnât want to stay, all sheâd have to do is nod.
"I don't know Mandy, I've got stuff to do today." "Oh come on! You always complain that you never get to teach the older ones." "I've never done thatâŚ" She muttered under her breath.
(How am I supposed to jump in again�)
(Both Darren and Neal are at home doing nothing)
(SoâŚ)

"I don't know Mandy, I've got stuff to do today." "Oh come on! You always complain that you never get to teach the older ones." "I've never done thatâŚ" She muttered under her breath.
âI think Darren would be upset if we cancelled lunch with him,â like cancer boy would eat, âWe were gonna talk to him about the wedding remember?â
"You can do that later. Come on, you know you want to." While she smiled, it was obvious that Mandy was pissed that he was trying to get her to not listen to her. Usually this was so easy.

(Both Darren and Neal are at home doing nothing)
(SoâŚ)
(Come over�)
(With who? Paige or Ginger?)
(Whomever)
(Okay, so remind me who Neal is again. Sorry.)
"You can do that later. Come on, you know you want to." While she smiled, it was obvious that Mandy was pissed that he was trying to get her to not listen to her. Usually this was so easy.
âI mean we can Belle but, he doesnât have long,â Ryanâs expression turned sad despite his friend being just fine, âYou never know when he might be gone.â (Imma little shit)
(Okay, so remind me who Neal is again. Sorry.)
(Darrenâs brother)
"Yeah, he's right. Sorry, maybe next time Mandy." "No no, it's fine. You go on ahead." She shot Ryan a dirty look that read 'You'll regret this.'
(Okay, so remind me who Neal is again. Sorry.)
(Darrenâs brother)
(Okay, thanks!)
Ginger wasn't exactly sure what she was doing here. Maybe she hoped Lillian would be here� She cautiously knocked on the door of Darren's house.
Ryan shrugged, âReady to go when you are babe,â
