Raelynn's P.O.V.

I can't believe Ryder did that! There is never any telling what he's going to do or why Rush puts these ideas in his head knowing he can't not make a fool of himself. If anyone who see them behave this way, they automatically think I don't punish them but I do so often, that I went from time outs to having them separated on weekends between my parents and Elena, and picking up all the leaves in the yard during fall until they starting crying for mercy, even though I do it with them. But it seems nothing is working the older they are getting, I know boys will be boys but these two get into too many things together.

I look at Bryce and he is looking at Evan angrily while the kids are gone. I push him back lightly and point to the couch behind him that Quinn is sitting on. He sits and I remain standing next to Evan.

I totally almost forgot Quinn is here with all of Ryder's antics. But then I realize Shantel is not here.

"Where is Shantel?" I ask looking to Elena.

"Ask those two!" Elena glares at Evan and Bryce. "Because I would like to know too why she left!"

"What do you mean she left?" I ask. "As in she went to Wesley's house?" Clearly I'm not understanding.

"She ran up out of here like a bat out of hell!" I look at Mr.Tully.

"What happened Bryce and where is Ethan?" I ask now realizing he's missing also.

He sighs. "Ethan took my car and left and Shantel is gone. She said not to look for her."

"What the hell happened?" This is getting ridiculous.

"Don't look at me babe! I have nothing to do with this apart from beating his ass!" He points at Evan. "Since he thought it was fine to sleep with Shantel after I warned him not to, then treats her like crap and basically called her baby a bastard!" He explains.

"You pig!" I jump on Evan slapping the taste out of his mouth! I always knew that would happen. And I warned Shantel too, why didn't she come to me or listen.

"Hey, hey! Calm down!" Bryce says pulling me off him! "Calm down Rae, you might hurt the baby!" Smh what baby is this fool talking about now! I'm not pregnant, he's always talking about a baby!

Before I was even fully off him I see Elena running toward him at full speed. Man I think she's bout to transform into the hulk or something vicious right now. She jumps on his back tackling him to the ground and starts to pound on his back.

"I brought you into this world and now I am going to take you out!" She screams at him reaching for her flats off her feel and starts beating him all over with it. "You arrogant child! How could you! After all she's been through! Why would you prey on a vulnerable child! I raised you better than that." Tears are streaming down her face. The shoe flies out her hand as she swing it upwards to hit him again. She then grabs the nearest thing to her which happens to be a vase filled with fresh red roses. She grabs most of the roses and starts to beat him with those as well! Luckily the thorns were removed.

Bryce went to try and pull her off Evan who was screaming like a girl as she beat him with the long stems of the roses.

Quinn went to help as well and as soon as they got her off him, she shurged Quinn off and slapped her too.

Mr. Tully roared with laughter slapping his leg as he poured another drink. He seemed pretty drunk. I don't see how else he could be laughing.

Quinn held her face in shock and surprise.

"Mother!" Bryce yells. "What was that for?"

"That!" She points in Quinns face. "Is for not standing up for the man you keep claiming you are so in love with. That was for letting what happened to Ethan today happen. He could have lost his life. Ethan would never sit back and watch you get your ass kicked and do nothing no matter what happened with you two. So that, is for-" she shakes her head. "Why do I even waste my time with you three! Quinn I accepted you as my daughter much like I do Raelynn, I am very disappointed. Evan I expect anything from you, but not this. Then you get her pregnant and call her child a bastard? Yo-"

"I'm not its dad!" Evan yells.

"Shut your filthy mouth! You lost the right to speak or cutt me off when you started sleeping with little girls, your own family at that. I don't care if you are the father, the point is that what you did is very disrespectful on all accounts. You should be ashamed." Mom screams at him.

He gets up brushing off himself. "Forget the all of you people! First Bryce wants to fight me over her, I'm your brother! She's nobody! Now you mom chooses her side over your own son. She's as much to blame as I am but no, everyone feels sorry for her and gives me the 5th degree. This is bullshit! She sucked my dick as much as I ate her box!" He smirks as the last part.

"Get out! Now! Get out of my house! You are disgusting! Keep acting that way and you will end up like your worthless father! Get out!" Elena screams as she pushes him.

"Gladly!" He walks out but not before hitting over the vase Elena took the roses from as he mumbled "dumb roses" for us all to hear.

"I can't believe him!" Elena cries! Where did I go wrong? What kind of karma is this? What did I ever do so bad? First my baby dies, then I lose my husband, then the monster that replaces him hurt Bryce and many others, now two of my sons are falling apart."

"Elena calm down, your being too dramatic!" Mr. Tully tells her.

"Shut up dad and just drink your scotch!" She yells.

"Fine, this scotch taste good anyways. I'll just continue to drink my scotch and mind my business!" He leans back brining the glass to his lips and closing his eyes.

Elena throws her hands up and heads up the stairs angrily.

I giggle involuntarily. He is such a character. I can't imagine Elena being like her mom, because she acts just like her father.

But I stop giggling when I remember Quinn! I look just in time to see her running out the door.

I run after her and grab a hold of her shoulder stopping her. She had tears streaming down her face.

I hug her. "Quinn its going to be ok!" I try to console her.

"No its not. Elena even hates me and Bryce can't stand to look at me. It won't be ok Rae! Just admit it!" She moves from my hold and runs to the van getting in. The driver looks to me for confirmation and I nod. He gets in and leaves, more than likely taking her back home.

This is a lot to process! I pull out my phone and start calling Shantel.

"The number you have reached is no longer in service." I look at the phone screen to ensure its the right person I was calling. Sure enough, it was.

I tried again since I was in such disbelief but got the same message.

"Wow!"

I dial Ethan's number next and his phone kept going to voicemail.

"What are you doing?" Bryce asks coming up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his chin on my shoulder.

"I'm trying to find Ethan and Shantel! This is so stressing." He holds me tighter and kiss on my ear.

"I know something that could destress you!" He kiss on my ears.

"And what's that Bryce?" I ask feeling ignorance, knowing him like the back of my hand.

"Us making a baby?" He whispers.

"Rightttt... Not gonna happen. You play too much."

"Oh but I am so far from playing Mrs.Radley. Does that feel like a joke to you?" He pushes his erection on my butt.

"Bryce!" I groan trying to move out of his hold.

"That's what I thought Rae! Why are you trying to run from the baby making stick?" He laughs nibbling on my neck.

"There are much more serious things going on right now for us to be having sex!I need to find Shantel and Ethan and go check on the kids then Quinn." I explain trying not to feel affected by his lips on my skin, but he's wearing me down.

"Oh Rae! Everybody will survive for 5 minutes, they won't die without us for that long."

Before I could object he was pulling me down the step and in the direction of the pool house.

We all know this is going to take more than 5 minutes.

I guess everyone will be ok for that amount of time.

I smile thinking about sneaking around with Bryce as if we are teens again. It replaces unpleasant memories.

I look up at him as he pulls me.

My sun kissed god, I thought as the sun gleamed on him, even making his hair look golden.

How could I reisit him?

How could anyone reisist him!
