Living The Magcon Life

Chapter 21

I hear Layla crying and yelling and Logan is yelling back. Where is Gillian? I need to finish packing because I leave today.

It's been two days and my house is still a hell hole. Nash still has Madison but I was just there watching her. I don't want her here when everyone is acting like this. I go upstairs and I see Layla throwing toys and Barbie's at Logan. "Layla Elizabeth Grier!" I yell at my five year old daughter. She looks at me and just gazes. She doesn't move or talk. "What on earth are you doing?" I ask.

"Logan is being a brat" she tells me.

"I am not!" Logan yells at her and she throws another toy.

"No! Layla and Logan come here. Now" I'm being strict which is unusual but I do not need fighting when I get home I need to pack. "You two are twins. Being siblings is hard, I know. Uncle Nash is my brother and we fought all the time. Skylynn and I never fought and Will and I barely fought but Nash and I were close in age and we fought all time. But you two, you're twins. You need each other, you're the same. You are setting a terrible example for Matty. You both need to stop this fighting. Logan, be nice to your sister in school, Layla, stop throwing things and when Logan wants you to leave him be in school, go play with someone else, okay?"

"Okay" they say simultaneously.

I go into my room to finish packing. Gillian is laying in our bed and watching TV. "Hello" I say and I go over to her but she turns her head. I roll my eyes again. I finish packing my things and bring my suitcase out and over to the boys. I take Madison from Nash and I go into Gillian and I's room again. I put Madison is our bed and Gillian looks at me. "I'm leaving" I tell her.

"Right now?" she asks. This is the first time she's talked to me in two days. Talked to anyone.

"Yes" I answer and she gets up and hugs me. I kiss her quickly and she smiles.

"I'm doing online college" she yells me. I hug her again.

"That's great" I say. I kiss her once more and hug Madison. I go out and hug Logan and Layla and then I leave.

*Gillian's POV*

Hayes leaves and I think it's time to sleep. I don't know why Hayes is leaving at 10:01 PM. I assume Hayes put the kids to sleep before he left. They're really quiet so I'm assuming they're asleep.

Normally I can't sleep without Hayes but today I fall asleep almost instantly.

"I can't believe that you guys are going into high school!" Gillian cheers but she's sad about it at the same time. It hurt to see her children grow up but she's happy for them.

"Me neither, you guys make me feel old. I'm glad I could be here for your first day though" Hayes tells his kids. He has seen them grow up but not entirely, being on tours and doing movies.

"Stop, guys, you're embarrassing" Logan says. His face is squished up like he's livid but he has a look of amusement on his face.

"No one is here but your family" Layla looks at him with confusion.

"Cam, Lucy, Taylor, Adrianne" Logan names the other surroundings in the room.

"They are family" Layla rolls her eyes at her twin brother.

"When is Sam picking you up?" Logan asks Layla.

"Why is Sam picking you up? I could've driven you!" Nash shouts. Sam is Layla's boyfriend of 6 months. They claim that they love each other but Sam is a bad boy and Cameron, Nash, and Taylor are extremely protective of her, along with Hayes of course. Gillian thinks that Sam is sweet and Madison loves him. Lucy doesn't know him well but I don't know if she really cares. He plays with Madison and Camilla even though Cameron doesn't like him playing with Camilla.

"He's picking me up at-" Layla stops as she sees Sam's car pull up. "now" Layla smiles and runs out the door. Sam is at the door already though and she stands there. Hayes, Nash, Taylor, and Cameron are behind Layla with their arms crossed.

"Are you going with them?" Gillian asks Logan.

"No, Ben is picking me up" Logan growls. Gillian can't help but wonder what's wrong as Madison and Camilla run up to Sam and he gets down to their level and hugs them.

"Guys" Gillian says pulling her best friends, husband, and brother-in-law away from Layla.

"Hello, Mrs. Grier, Mr. Grier, and family?" Sam questions.

"Hello, Sam" Gillian smiles at her daughter's boyfriend but the boys are squinting at him.

"Camilla, Matty, come here" Logan says and bends down to their level like Sam was moments ago. They run to him and Sam and Layla are left with the adults.

"You're taking her to school?" Nash asks Sam. Sam nods and puts his arm around Layla who is now standing next to him.

"Bring her home by 3" Hayes says.

"Oh, she didn't ask?" Sam asks.

"Ask what?" Cameron questions Sam.

"I asked Layla if she wanted to go on a date tonight" Sam smiled and looked down at Layla who was a few inches shorter than him.

"I asked my mom" Layla whispers to Sam. Sam looks to Gillian who is biting her lip as the boys look at her.

"By 7" Gillian tells them and smiles. The boys grown at her and shut the door after telling Layla goodbye. A horn honks and Logan is running out the door now.

When Logan gets home he's in his room until Layla gets home. Layla is smiling when she walks in the door. "How was your date?" Gillian asks her daughter who still has a smile on her face.

"It was really, really great" Layla is still smiling.

"What happened?" Gillian asks.

"Um, don't tell dad?" Layla asks, she's completely serious now and Gillian is quite nervous about what her daughter is going to say. An idea pops into her head and her eyes go wide.

"Layla Elizabeth Grier, you didn't" Gillian says shaking her head.

"But mom I did! It just kind of happened?" Layla asks. Gillian shakes her head and Layla runs upstairs.

Logan and Layla come down after a few minutes and Gillian, Hayes, and Madison are sitting on the couch watching TV. Layla smiles at Gillian but Gillian is giving her a sympathetic look. Layla squints asking if she's told her husband and Gillian nods. Layla sighs dramatically. Gillian tells Madison to go upstairs. "Did you talk to Logan about it?" Gillian asked.

"Yes. But that's not why we came down here" Layla answers her mother, obviously angered with the fact that Gillian told Hayes.

"Layla Elizabeth Grier, how could you? You are 15 years old. You better have used protection!" Hayes yells.

"I did" Layla says quietly.

"Why did you come down?" Gillian asks her two children.

"We were wondering about Uncle Matt and Carter. Who are they?" Logan asks. Gillian looks to Hayes.

"You don't remember them?" Gillian asks.

"We haven't for a while, Mom" Layla asks and Gillian forms tears in her eyes. Gillian didn't like talking about Carter and Matt's deaths. She tried to keep it away from her but she didn't think that it would make her children forget that they were even there in the first place.
