Chapter 42: Mind Blown

It's been an amazing camping trip. I, for one, feel refreshed. It's nice to be back home, well, it's nice to be back in Jay's house, well, it's nice for all of us to be back in Jay's house.

"Guess what, BroJay," Troy says, not allowing Jay any time to guess as he continues on, "we're all moving with you to Tokyo!"

"We are?!" Blubber exclaims jovially from the love-seat, shocked out of his non-existent wits. "Cool! Simo and I should probably tell my mom that we're leaving her for better people."

Grey shakes his head from his position on Jay's pink couch. "No, no we're not."

"Awesome," Lan grins from beside Grey, unfazed by the news of him supposedly moving across the world with Jay, "when did we decide on this? I don't think I was there. Was it like a vote thing? 'Cause I'm down with it."

Grey, having forgiven Jay after our talk, discreetly nudges Lan, hoping that he'll catch the hint.

Landon glances at Grey in confusion. "Why you nudging me, bro?"

"'Cause we're not going," Grey clarifies bluntly.

"I'll follow BroJay until the very ends of the earth," Troy insists, determined. "That's how much I care!"

Jay stares blankly at Troy, at a loss for words.

"Look at him, Squirt, he's so happy he can't speak!" Troy laughs, bemused by Jay's silence, taking it completely the wrong way.

Jay shakes his head and grabs my hand before pulling me around the corner, out of sight. "I'm legitimately afraid that I'll never be rid of him."

I swallow back my giggles, standing on my tippy-toes to run a hand through the soft strands of his hair. "Look at the bright side, at least my gramps is over you."

"Yeah..." he nods, quickly pecking my lips, agreeing, "he's been pretty ecstatic ever since he and your grams officially adopted Landon as their new, beloved son."

On that note, we hear Landon shout it from the rooftops yet again:

"The Lawson's have adopted me into their family! I'm officially their son! I'm a LawSON now! Landon Lawson!"

I shake my head in grave disappointment and pull back from Jay. "Landon's lost all of my respect. He's literally stolen my family from me."

He not even a minor. He doesn't even freaken need guardians!

"He's more excited about this than his engagement to Sarah," Jay points out, intertwining his fingers with mine as he absentmindedly draws me closer to him.

That's true. I haven't seen Lan this excited since...ever.

"I'm going to go visit them right now," we hear Landon say before hearing Grey scoff straight after.

Jay and I let go of each other and walk back into the room, only to see Landon getting up, a wide grin on his face.

"Sis, you wanna come visit the folks with me?" Lan asks aloud.

"They're not really your family, Landon," Emma replies with a roll of her eyes.

"Honey," Xavier addresses his wife, "let him have this, we don't want him in our family anyway. Think of this as our way out."

"Tell that to my lawyers," Landon answers his sister, flashing a piece of paper in her face. "The proof is in this paper!"

"Stupid Benley," Xavier comments under his breath.
