Hey That's My Kid ( Sequel To Music In The Hopeless)

Chapter 18- Grandma Denver

Brelynn's POV -MONTH LATER-

Ricky and I worked out an agreement. We switch off weeks and on Sunday Skyler goes to the other parent that didn't have her. I go pick her up today at 6 Ricky wants to talk to me about something, Ryan-Ashley and I get along like sisters. We agree on everything. She is the sister I never had, beside Andi of course and she is the fairy god-mother of Skyler. 

"Hey Brelynn are you and Skyler eating at Ricky's tonight? Or should I make dinner for all of us?" Ryan-Ashley asked, as she stood in the black doorway of my room and I turned to her. Her arms were crossed over her chest and she had a curious face. 

"Sky and I are eating at Ricky's. He said he has something to tell me." I said and she nodded, my leg hasn't stopped twitching since Ricky told me he needed to talk to me. 

"Are you okay?" She asked, walking in and I sat on the bed, dropping my head in my hands. 

"No, for one. I haven't seen Ricky in two weeks, then he wants to talk to me." I said and looked at her, she was sitting next to me. She smiled, rubbing my back. Last week, Josh dropped Skyler off cause I had to work later than I had planned. 

"I'm sure you'll be fine. Plus if things get weird, tell him that I need you to come home because I need your help." She said, I smiled and gave her a hug. She smelled like Josh's cologne and roses.  

"Thank you Ryan. For everything." I said, patting her on the back and she chuckled in my ear. Our hug broke and she looked at me, with a warming smile.  

"Everything will be fine, i'm sure." She said and I nodded, the bed squeaked as she got up. She gave me a thumbs up, with a reassuring smile and walked out of the room. I fell back on the bed, sighing loudly and looked at the white ceiling. I got up a few moments later and decided to get ready. I put on black high-wasted ripped skinny jeans, plain black spaghetti strap crop top that had a gold zipper in the front, with a black cardigan with a skull cut out in the back and black combat boots.  

"Ry! Josh! I'm leaving to get Skyler!" I yelled, grabbing my keys and my phone. I started to walk downstairs. 

"Okay, see you later!" Ryan-Ashley responded and I walked out the front door, walking over to my car. I got in and drove to Ricky's house. When I got there, I knocked on the front door and a girl opened the door. She was beautiful, yet she looked so familiar and I couldn't put my finger on where i'd seen her from. 

"Oh, I must have gotten on the wrong street." I said, it had to be a mistake and I turned off to walk back to my car, but someone grabbed my shoulder. I turned back and it was Ricky. "Oh, so I did have it right." I said, hurt and upset, but I wasn't going to show myself being vulnerable. 

"Yeah, this is kinda what I wanted to talk to you about." Ricky said, pulling the girl out from behind him and she smiled. 

"Oh, um. Sorry i'm Brelynn." I said and she nodded, keeping the smile plastered on her face. 

"I'm Quinn." She said and I nodded. I glanced down, kind of awkward. "Oh, come on in." She said, both her and Ricky stepped into the house. I walked in, the smell of food hit me like bowling ball.  

"I made some stake and ribs. Skyler said that it was your favorite." Ricky said, behind me and I turned around, to look at them. Ricky's hand was wrapped around Quinn's waist and my heart dropped. A lump swelled up in my throat. 

"Oh, thank you. Wh, wher, where is Sky?" I stuttered and Ricky looked at me with concerned. 

"She is asleep, right now. Are you okay?" He asked and I nodded, forcing a cough. 

"Yeah, just an itchy throat." I said, pushing my tear back and forcing the biggest, brightest smile I could possibly do. "I need to talk to you, about switching some weeks. I need to go to Denver for a few days, my um. Grandma is sick and I want to go see her." I lied and he looked at me. 

"I'm sorry, I know you were close to her. Do they know whats wrong?" Ricky asked, I shook my head. 

"That's why I want to go down there. I just want to see her, so I was hoping that you could keep Skyler while I go see her." I lied and Ricky nodded, walking over to me. He gave me a hug and I hesitantly hugged him back

"Dinner, is ready. Do you want something to drink?" Quinn asked, I quickly backed away from Ricky's hug and went over to Quinn. 

"Um, yeah. Could I get a-" I paused for a moment. 

"A pomegranate xing tea?" Ricky asked, smiling at me and I nodded. "You got it." He said, walking over to the fridge. He handed one to me and I nodded, taking it. Then sitting at the table, across from Ricky. 

"Daddy, is mommy hewe?" I heard a sleepy Skyler and I jumped up, running over to the stairs. 

"Skyler baby." I said, picking her up and she giggled. "I missed you kid." I said and she hugged me back tightly. 

"Missed you too. I'm hungy." She said, rubbing her eyes and we walked back over to the table. I put her down, in the middle of Ricky and I. Then walked into the fridge, getting her juice and I gave it to her. "Thanks." She said, sipping it and I nodded. 

-AFTER DINNER-

"So Brelynn when are you going to Denver?" Quinn asked, as I helped Ricky clear the table and I looked over at Skyler. 

"Friday I think, i'll have to double check." I said, handing her some plates and she took them, sticking them into the dish water. 

"Mommy, can we go home now. I want to see Auntie Wyan and Uncle Josh." She said and I nodded, picking her up. 

"Yeah, Auntie Ryan was asking about you all week. Saying when is Skyler coming back?" I said, mocking Ryan-Ashley and Skyler chuckled. "Hey Skyler, mommy has to go away for a little. Do you want to come back to see Daddy?" I asked and she shook her head. 

"No, I want to stay with you." She said, clinging to me and I smiled. I know that I have to go but Skyler. 

"I have to go, but we can see if you can stay with Auntie Ryan and Uncle Josh, how about that?" I asked and she nodded. "Ricky, all call you later." I said and he nodded, handing me her bag. We felt and when we got to Ryan-Ashley's house,  she ran out the front door. 

"I heard about your grandma i'm sorry." She said, hugging me and guilt washed over me. 

"How did you hear?" I asked, looking at her. 

"You weren't answering your phone so I called Ricky and he told me." She said and I nodded. 

"Ry my grandma is fine. I lied to Ricky. Because he has a new girlfriend and I freaked out." I said and she nodded. 

"I know, I know you kid." She said and I sighed, hugging her. "It'll be okay." She said and rubbed my back. 

"Auntie Wyan!" Skyler screamed, jumping out of the car.
