Chapter Eight:
After school, Lucy, Michael, Stephanie, and Ash walked into their home. Lucy temporarily forgetting what happened earlier that day.
Bailey smiled when she saw the group. But frowned when she didn't see a fifth. "Where's Luke?"
Hearing his name, Lucy broke down. Cody ran in, hearing his daughter cry. "What happened!?"
Stephanie sighed. "Luke... Luke broke up with Lucy, today..."
Michael nodded. "And Angela was the reason... She broke up with me two..."
Bailey sat Avril down, and hugged her oldest son and daughter. "Oh, Lucy! I'm so, so, so sorry, sweetie. I'm sorry too, Mike. "
He shrugged. "I'm fine... Sure I was head over heels for her, but... I'm good."
Cody was furious. "Is he home?"
Ash shrugged. "I don't know. Honestly, I never cared about him."
Cody nodded. "I'm going to go check."
Bailey grabbed his arm. "Cody, no... Just stay here."
"But he hurt my little girl! I'm not going to let him slide!"
Stephanie interrupted their conversation. "Oh, he's not going to slide. Almost everyone at school hates him... Most actually lashed out at him."
Cody was still upset. "Okay, but he hasn't gotten one from me! It's my turn."
Bailey was still latched onto his arm. "Cody, please. I know you're mad, I am too. But let's not try to make this worse. Moargan and Christina will learn about this and will be the ones to talk to him."
"But Bailey! I need to get a word in with him! I'm her father, he hurt her, come on! Your dad was going to kill me when I first met him! I'm not going to let Luke's parents talk to him, without me having any say!" He gently took her hand away from his arm. "I promise you, I'll try not to lay a hand on him." He waited for the elevator doors to open. "But if I have to, I will. And I can do it. I've waited for you for six months, then about year, and then for fifteen years.
He left for the Ross's home, leaving Bailey to deal with the kids.
"Mommy, why is daddy mad at Luke?" Annie asked.
Lucy gave a sad smile. "Because Luke hurt me this morning..."
Brad raised an eyebrow. "How? What did he do?"
"He broke up with me.."
"Why did he do that?" Tommy asked his older sister.
Avril spoke for her sister. "Angie told him, that Lu was only with him for money. And he believed Angie."
Michael picked up Tommy. "Yup. Angie broke up with me too."
*With Cody*
Cody walked out of the elevator. "Where is he..." he mumbled to himself.
Ravi noticed Cody. "Where is who?"
"Your brother..." he mumbled again, looking around.
Ravi got up from the couch. "Why?"
"Dont you know? I mean, you do go to the same school as them."
Ravi shook his head. "No.. I was probably already in my next class. What happened?"
"Luke broke up with Lucy." He gave Ravi a questionable look. "How could you have not heard about it? From what my kids, and Lucy's friends tell me, it was pretty much the talk of the school."
"Not really, people were also talking about Lucy's pregnancy.. "
Cody nodded. "Anyway... Where's Luke?"
"Probably his room."
Cody nodded as he left for Luke's room. Upon reaching his room, he knocked.
"What?" Luke answered, feeling a bit annoyed.
Cody walked in. "Why did you break up with my daughter? "
Luke sighed, closing his door he responding. "Because, I was told she was only with keep for money. I've been there before, I wasn't going back."
"But you've been with her for two years! And yet you believed someone she doesn't have a good relationship with? How would you feel if some guy you disliked and told Lucy that you were just using her, and Lucy broke up with you?"
Luke rolled his eyes. "Look, I know you're her father and all, but... Just don't try and make me feel guilty. It's not gonna work. So if you're done here, just go."
Cody glared at him. "I am not just gonna leave. I want to know why you would want to leave Lucy after two years! Were you just wanting to find a reason to break up with her? And how come you never told anyone about being used for money before?"
He rolled his eyes again. "No, I was not looking for a reason to break up with her. If I wanted to leave her, I would've when I wanted too. And the reason why I never tell anyone about keep being used, is because I hate talking about it. Now please go." He opened his door and waited for Cody to leave.
"Fine. I'll go, but this is not over." Cody left his room, and went back home.
"That boy... I never liked him." He said to himself.
"What happened?" Bailey asked, coming into the living room.
Cody shook his head. "Nothing really. He just really makes me mad! I wish Lucy didn't pick him..."
Bailey wrapped her arms around him. "I know you don't like him, but if Lucy never dated him, we wouldn't be having grandchildren. Nor will she have this experience. I mean... I regretted dating you after that whole Paris incident, but... I got back with you, and now look at us."
Cody smiled and kissed her forehead. "I know, baby... But, Lucy's my little girl... Seeing you, her, Annie or Avril, or the boys, hurting. It hurts me. But it really hurts when it comes to you girls. I hate seeing you guys hurting, especially when as boy causes it." He sighed. "Luckily, I don't have to worry about Annie and Avril having their heart broken."
Bailey nodded. "And Lucy. She told keep she was done dating for awhile."
Cody sighed with relief. "That's great! Now all I have to do, is talk to that Luke again."
"He wouldn't talk to you?"
Cody shook his head. "Nope. And it's only making it worse on him."
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
No, I'm not done with Cody and Luke's conversation. But I wanted Luke to be stubborn.
So yeah, it may not be for awhile. But I will have Cody talk to Luke again, I just wanted to give you guys another chapter before I go back to school tomorrow.
