I stare at Sophie as she typed on the computer sending emails for Morgan's music and I walk behind her.
I put my arms around her neck and kiss her cheek.

"Y'know we've been married for 15 years, I think we need a anniversary trip" I suggest. "What about the kids?" She asks. "Rae is a teenager and Noah is 12, and Dallas could easily be watched by anyone" I mention.

"How about your mama? They can go back to Illinois and see their cousins and stuff, and your mama will see them" she suggests.

"Not a bad idea babe, I think that'll be great" I reply. "But where would we go?" She asks. "Anywhere, what's a place you've never been too?" I ask. "I mean, Paris is a start" She says.

"Paris it is" I agree. We called the kids downstairs and sat them at the table, other than Dallas obviously.
"So we need to talk to you guys" I start.

"Are you guys getting a divorce?" Raelynn asks, concern on her face. "No! Why would you ask that?" Sophie asks.
"My friend said her mom and dad sat her down to talk and they got a divorce"

"Well we aren't planning on a divorce, we are happily married" Sophie explains, I agree.

"What we were going to say is, me and mom are going on a trip for our anniversary and you guys are gonna stay at Mimi and Papaws for the week" I explain.

Raelynns face wasn't as happy as I'd hoped but Noah was. "What's with that face Rae?" I ask. "I have that softball tournament this week" she explains.

Sophie sighed and I thought for a second. "What about you stay with Uncle Morgan?" I ask, attempting to work everything out. "I can't because Ellie and Indie are grounded for sneaking out"

"I'll call him, give me a second" Sophie said walking off with her phone. "You said they snuck out?" I ask, Raelynn nods.

"Went to some party and Lainey drank underage, heard a rumor about Indie and her kissing or something, just crazy stuff" She explains.

"Wow, that's a lot" I add. Sophie came back and sat down. "Morgan said he would keep her but the kids were in trouble" She explains.

"Your sure the tournament is this week?" I ask, Raelynn nods her head. "We could always plan for next week Bailey" Sophie says. "I wanna take you this week" I explain.

"Why can't I stay with mamaw Kay?" She asks, me and Sophie look at eachother. "Lesli?" I ask Sophie.
"Good idea!" Sophie says calling her mama.

"Sooo, I'm staying with gramma and poppy?" Raelynn asks. "We'll find out" I reply.

I sit at the table in confusion on who I'm staying with until mama comes back. "Mamas in Florida for the week, so it's gonna have to be Morgan" mom explains.

"Sooo, should I pack my bags? Or?" I ask. "Yeah go ahead" Dad says. I figured Ellie wouldn't have her phone so I FaceTimed Ernest's daughter, Paige.

"Hey Paige, you gonna be around for the game tomorrow?"

"I think so, Ryman has a game Saturday right before yalls"

"Cool! I'll probably text you when I leave tomorrow morning, I'm staying with Uncle Morgan because my mom and dad are leaving for a trip"

"You shouldve stayed with me! We would've had so much fun!"

"Oh my gosh! I should've!"

"Also, do you know anything about the Indie and Lainey situation? I've heard rumors"

"I wouldn't listen to the rumors, I know my cousin well enough to know he wouldn't kiss a Freshman"

"I heard they did something they weren't supposed too, like, bedroom wise... if Y'know what I mean"

"That's not true at all, I talked to Ellie at School about it"

"It sucks people spread rumors about people, I know they wouldn't do that"

"For real, I actually gotta go, I'm leaving in ten minutes"

"Okay! Bye!"

I hang up and try and get ahold of Indie, he won't answer because his phone got taken. After packing a small bag I walked downstairs and hopped in my dads truck.

"You wanna get some driving experience? You've got your learners permit" Dad suggests. I nod.
"Okay slow" he instructs.

I start to drive and pull into Uncle Morgan's. He's on the porch when I park. "Bailey, I distinctly remember you wouldn't even let your wife drive those trucks" he teased.

I laughed. "Cause mama ain't as good as I am" I joke. Dad laughs along with Morgan. "Be on your best behavior for them, i don't wanna hear any bad reports" Dad warns, I nod.

"She'll be fine, as long as she don't sneak out" He says glancing at Ellie on the porch. "She better not" Dad says.
"We'll be back, keep in touch with Noah" dad says, I hug him and start to walk towards the porch.

Ellie's face lit up upon seeing me. "So, even though your on punishment, you guys can mingle in your room" Uncle Morgan told Ellie.

"Oh my gosh! Thank you dad!" She shouted excitedly pulling me towards her room. "So I need to ask you some stuff" she mentions.

"Go ahead" I say. "First of all, how many people saw me at that party, and how many of them have talked shit" She asks. "I've heard nothing about you, just rumors about Indie" I say.

"Your kidding! I knew they were gonna start talking!" She exclaimed. "A lot was said, but none of it was true I think" I say.

"Shouldn't we tell him?" Ellie asks. "Yeah sure" I reply. We walk to Indies room and knock on his door.
"Go away Ellie" he mumbled.

"He's mad because he thinks it's my fault we're in trouble, but it's his" She explains. "Open up, You can have social contact for the first time in days" She mentions.

He opened the door and was thankful to see me. "Hey Rae, why are you here?" He asks.
"I'm staying with y'all for the week, mom and dad are going on vacation and I have a softball tournament" I mention.

"We've got major dirt on your name being dropped" Ellie explains. "Come in" He instructs closing the door behind us.

"So what was said?" He asks. "Well, Blake said you and Lainey did some, Bedroom activity's..." I explain.
Indies face was shocked.

"And a couple others said y'all kissed, and someone even went as far as saying you liked minors" I explain.
Indie looked completely frantic pacing the room.

Ellie took everything in and stared at me. "All this, came from how many people?" She asks. "One group, but the rumors have been spread everywhere, you should probably straighten it out before it gets worse" I explain.

"And how do you expect I do that? I have no phone, I can't play baseball, and they don't go to my school" he shouts at me. "Don't yell at her Indie!" Ellie shouted back.

Indie sighed and slammed himself onto his bed. "Your not grounded Rae, you've gotta set it straight" he suggests.
"They'll never believe me, I wasn't even there"

"Dad said we can go back to normal in two days, all we need to do is make sure no more rumors are spread before then" Ellie explains.

"I'm in deep, deep shit..." Indie mumbled. "Language" Ellie scolded.
