LA Emmett's dorm room
Emmett's room was all boxed up now, it had only been a few days since he had made the decision to move back home but he had moved fast. He got the forms to transfer all of his credits, boxed up his room and even talked to the owner of the garage he worked at before he moved and got his old job back. The one thing that he hadn't done yet was tell anyone back home he was moving.
Emmett looked around his room thinking about all he was giving up but he smiled a bit.
I never should have left her in the first place; I'm not giving up I'm starting over. He thought to himself. He couldn't believe that today was already the day he was just waiting for the mover to get there to ship all of his boxes home.
On campus at KC
Bay was walking to her car when she saw Travis across the big grassy knoll she smiled and waved as he jogged over to her. "Hey what time is dinner tonight?"
"5"
"Should I be nervous?"
"No my parents love you. Why should you be nervous?"
"They loved me when we were just friends but we're dating now. Don't you think that is going to make a difference?"
"No I think you are safe although I think I saw my dad did get out his shot gun today." She was clearly being a smart ass.
"haha yeah very funny"
"Don't worry so much, they are going to love you just as much now as they did before. Okay?"
"Okay."
The Kennish house 4:45 PM
The doorbell rang so Bay ran to grab the door before one of her parents could beat her to it. She opened the door and saw that Travis had a large bouquet of flowers "awww you didn't have to get me flowers!" she looked touched until…
"These are for your mom."
"Oh well that was embarrassing. Okay well before we go to the dining room" she trailed off and leaned in for a deep kiss half way through the kiss she could hear the very distinct loud sound of a throat clearing Bay stopped mid kiss pulling back so fast that Travis lost his balance slightly for just a split second.
"Mom! Dad! Hi look Travis is here!" Bay said sounding overly enthusiastic.
They did not look too happy Travis leaned forward and gave Mrs. Kennish the bouquet of flowers that he had bought her. "Oh thank you, that was so sweet of you!" She said as she smelled them.
"Okay well lets all go eat some dinner" john said trying a little too hard to sound cool in Bays opinion.
As they ate dinner the family made a lot of small talk, they did the normal family routine of telling embarrassing stories about Bay as a kid. John and Travis talked baseball. After dessert Bay excused herself and Travis to go out to her studio where she claimed there was something she wanted so show him.
"Okay" John said he reached out to shake Travis hand but when Travis took his hand he pulled him close all of the sudden and said "you are with my little girl now so I expect you to be a perfect gentlemen. Okay?"
Travis smiled "You know me. I'm always a gentleman." He smiled a cheesy grin but John did not smile back he just looked at him intensely eye brows arched; there was a pause before Travis replied again but more seriously.
"I will be a perfect gentleman I promise"….. "sir" he added quickly.
John had a big smile cross his face "good man!" Bay was a little embarrassed but she expected nothing less from her dad he loved to play the father with a shot gun and scare the boys that Bay and Daphne brought home but she knew he was harmless.
Bays studio
"So what did you want to show me?"
"Nothing just wanted to do this..." She leaned in to kiss him but he pulled away.
"If your dad walked in right now he would kill me so since I want to stay alive long enough to date you more I think we should pass." He smiled and so did Bay.
"Okay so do you want to go to a movie?" Bay asked.
"Sure but only if it is from this century."
"Aww your killing me! No French black and white films?" Bay added sarcastically.
"Nope. Sorry!"
"What about a good chick flick? A little Matthew McConaughey?" she teased.
"I have always been more of a Matt Damon fan myself" he said, Bay couldn't help but smile big and start to lightly laugh as she remembered that she had once called Travis the deaf Matt Damon.
"What? The man does some good action movies!" He defended thinking she was mocking his choice.
"No it's not that." She looked a little embarrassed now but she was still smiling "When I first met you I called you the Deaf Matt Damon once to Daphne."
"Now that is a comparison I can live with!" He said with a huge cocky smile and started to do a mock red carpet walk pretending to wave to people.
"Come on Matt Damon we are going to have to get there earlier to make sure we can get three seats together."
Travis looked a little confused "three seats?"
"Yeah one for me, one for you, and one for your huge ego!" She smiled as he playfully chased her up the drive way to her car.
Melody's house
Melody was in the kitchen making dinner when someone came in the room from behind her. She caught a slight glimpse of motion out of the corner of her eye and grabbed a knife off the counter next to her whipping around only to see Emmett.
"Emmett what the hell are you doing here?! You scared the hell out of me!" she put the knife down and slightly laughed out of relief placing a hand over her heart.
"I moved back."
"Wait, you what?"
"I moved back, please don't grab the knife again." He said putting his hands up in front of him pretending to surrender.
"What about school?"
"I want to go here. Be in the Deaf pilot program, I already got the forms to transfer all of my classes and grades."
"Why? You were in a great school. You loved it there." Then suddenly the reason dawned on her "This is about Bay and Travis isn't it?"
"No"
"Emmett Bledsoe, do not lie to me!"
"That is part of it but I also wanted to be back here because I miss you, my friends, and having a Deaf community."
"Why didn't you tell me before you did this?"
"Because I knew what you would say. It's okay mom." He said placing a hand on each of her shoulder's and looking her straight in the eyes trying to reassure her "Everything will work out I can go to the deaf pilot program, and I already got my old job back at the garage. Okay?"
"I know that you think that you are making some huge romantic gesture here by moving back but she is with Travis now. Have you thought about how much that is going to hurt you if she doesn't break up with him? How much it is going to hurt to see them together everywhere?"
Emmett hadn't really thought about that yet but he had an answer for his mom that was cheesy, but it was the first thing that came to his mind. "True love concurs all."
Melody forced a small smile that did not look sincere at all. She had no idea what to say. She knew her son and he was just as stubborn as she was. Once he wanted something he didn't give up until he had it.
At the movie theater
After the movie was over Travis and bay left the theater, as they were walking out to the street they were making small talk about the movie.
"Hey you want to go get coffee?" Bay asked "There's a 24 hour coffee shop around the corner."
"Okay let's go." Travis said holding out his arm so she could hook her arm through his as they walked. They were enjoying the fresh air on their way to the coffee shop. Once they got there Travis opened the door for Bay and she walked in almost walking straight into someone "Oh sorry." she said.
She looked up to see who she almost bumped into and could not believe her eyes it was Emmett.
"Emmett?" Bay said in a soft voice she was too stunned to even think to sign it.
"What in the hell are you doing here!" Travis jumped between the two of them.
"Me?" Emmett said with a mock confused look on his face.
" Oh that's right I am here because I have a lot of work to do unpacking and since I live just a few blocks away so I figured I better get some caffeine in me before it was too late." He was smiling, it was clear that he was enjoying getting under Travis skin.
"You moved back?" Bay asked "why?"
Emmett just smiled at her and walked right past the two of them with his coffee he turned as he was about to go out the door and looked Bay directly in the eyes and said "I'll see you around Bay." Travis was livid, he started to move forward ready to fight but Bay stepped between them "Travis no, stop." By the time Bay even got a chance to glance back Emmett was already gone.
In the coffee shop
"I don't get it why would he leave school?"
"You know exactly why he is here Bay!" he sounded irritated at her for ignoring the obvious.
"But why would he throw away his dream school for…."
Travis cut her off "for his dream girl?"
Bay didn't know what to say she knew that there was a very good chance that Travis was right. Emmett was back for her, especially after the way he said "I'll see you around Bay." He was trying to start a pissing match with Travis and Bay was the prize…..
