They slammed the door on my whole world
The one thing I daddy I love him"
Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid.
He was chaos. Bedroom eyes like a remedy.
Awhile later
"If this whole basketball dream doesn't work out."
"You can come work for me. I want to leave the business in the hands of family." Ted proclaimed. Looking to Callum.
"It'll work out i know it. But i like knowing i have a back up plan."
"See that's what mom and dad don't need to worry about. I don't need college. I can just graduated high school and go straight to the NBA. They have scouts coming to games." Callum explained.
"I highly advise you leave this town when you can."
"Seeing you kids and you're mom is the only reason i would return." Victora replied.
"You are just perfection. You look just like you're mom."
"The Davis genes are strong." Victoria complimented looking to Beatrice.
"Momma said i can go to cheer champ this summer."
"I'm so looking forward to it." Beatrice replied.
"Can i show you one of my favorite cheers?" Beatrice asked.
"Later dear. Let's go shopping. It's a grandmother's right to spoil her only granddaughter." Victoria announced.
"Let me get my purse." Beatrice replied. As she raced inside.
"Grandma Victoria is taking me shopping." Beatrice announced. When she ran into her dad on the way upstairs.
"I'm off to the Rivercourt then the movies." Callum announced.
As Ted headed back inside and Victoria awaited Beatrice who soon appeared.

"You and mom being here for awhile. A few days is okay but we have alot going on day after day." Brooke explained.
"We just got here. We can discuss an end date in a few days." Ted replied.
"I have to make a business call. Lucas won't mind if i use his office right.?" Ted asked. Before making his way towards the double doors. Opening them and going inside.
...
Lucas knocked before making his way inside Lennon's bedroom.
"You've been pretty quiet since you're grandparents got here."
"They are visitors here and them being around shouldn't make you feel uncomfortable." Lucas proclaimed.
"They are never going to like me are they?" Lennon asked. Tears welled up in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter what they think. Or how they feel."
"You changing yourself to fit into whatever they view as acceptable only hurts you. And i won't have that." Lucas stated matter of fact.
As he engulfed the boy into a hug.
Lennon clung tightly to his father as he sobbed.
When he was able to compose himself.
Lennon looked to his father. Apologizing.
Lucas leaned over kissing the top of his head.
"I want you to hold on to something for me." Lucas said.
Taking his necklace off of his neck and placing it around Lennon's.
"My uncle Keith gave it to me long time ago. Now it's yours my boy."
"A single Raven. Represents ancient wisdom, intelligence and transformation." Lucas explained.
The expression on Lennon's face softened.
"Thank you. I'll take care of it." Lennox replied.
"Get out of this room and go do something fun." Lucas suggested.
