The day had finally come. Emily had no idea how or why Jason had waited almost 2 years to get rid of Alison’s clothes. Well, not get rid of, donate. Emily knew that this was going to be tough, if not one of the toughest things she’s ever had to do, but she would be with Jason, the two of them would be there for each other. When the bitterness took over Emily, she threw away most of the things Alison had given her with the exception of their friendship bracelet. She didn’t want any other reminders, but now she regretted it. Alison was a part of her past, and while she was cruel, she was also good to her in many aspects. She also helped Emily realize she was gay, It wasn’t in an ideal manner, but rather than being bitter about it, Emily had come to terms with it. 

She hopped into her highlander and made her way to Jason’s to help him load up the clothes. When she pulled up, she spotted him outside waiting for her. Emily gave him a sad smile as she walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. “Hey… Are you ready?” She whispered.

jason did not realise how emotional he really was until he had been through the entire situation after alison’s death-- he had packed her room six months after her death considering her parents even moved away not being able to look at it or the house much anymore; he had hold her clothes in the room somehow. although, he had given away most of her elements to people around here and it felt only normal to donate her clothes to people that could still use them. he had already packed most of the car only two boxes were seating by his side as emily spoke and he let go of the boxes to hug her.

he held her tight and longer than he intended; sighing to himself as he lets go of her and nods. ‘ as ready as i’ll ever be. thank you-thank you for coming with me, i know it’s not easy for you either.’

“I mean we can swap if you want. I think you’d look really pretty in a flowery sun dress- and it would make sense seeing how as one of you should be the wife and we all know Tony is not the wife in this relationship.” she said, her lips quirking with amusement as she dropped another hilarious quip about his predicament. “Okay, income talk later- I have to ask again because it’s killing me. HOW?! WHY?”

Clay was a little disoriented even as he realized what had happened. He stared at the ground at the coffee splattered everywhere as he shook his head before speaking. “I’m fine, I just wasn’t watching where I was going…” He shook his head, closing his eyes for a moment as though to get them together. “That’s nice, but it’s fine, really. I’m surprised you’d trust me with another coffee, anyway.” He opened his eyes to look at the man in front of him, and faint recognition distracted him. “After what I did with this one.” He added as an afterthought. A slight frown marred his features as his head tilted a bit sideways, the curiosity apparent. “Do I know you from somewhere?”

“No running!” Moose shouted from the top of the lifeguard stand. Why had he signed up for this? The pay was great, but it was annoying having to constantly deal with little children running around the Riverwood Community Pool. He also needed to teach swimming lessons to the young kids as well. Sighing to himself and took a few sips of water knowing he had just under an hour left. Maybe he should go crawling back to Fred Andrews for a construction job again. Even though it was hot outside, it was less agonizing than dealing with children. When he heard someone catch his attention, he turned to his left and spotted the person talking to him. “I’m sorry I didn’t hear you, I was too busy yelling at those dweebs.” He mumbled rolling his eyes. 

“This heat is unbearable, I feel we should be in the middle of Mexico right now with this temperature….” okay, so maybe it wasn’t as hot as there, but it was the uncomfortable type of heat which made your clothes cling to you, even her sunglasses weren’t helping shield her eyes as she looked over the papers in front of her. “Do you understand any of this?” she asked her companion, pointing to the papers in front of her.

‘Are you talking about the incomes this month? Yeah, I understand- it’s been looking good.’ Jason came out of his daydreaming to respond to the other, tapping the pen against his lip as he hums. It was kind of hilarious how his life was a total mess an his main concern was wearing suits.’ it is very hot, be happy you don’t have to wear suits everyday like me.’

“It’s okay, Jason.” Emily’s voice trailed off. She wasn’t completely sure how she felt about it yet, though she hated not being able to swim. Hopefully the surgery would help her so that she could swim again. Thoughts crossed her mind about wondering if it would be career ending, she hoped that wouldn’t happen at least. “I’m not really sure. I mean, I’m hoping that it will heal with physical therapy and whatnot, but if I need surgery that is okay too. I’m just hoping that I will be able to swim again.” She mused. 

Emily nodded along with Jason when he started talking about how he was doing. She was surprised to hear that he was accidentally married. “Wait? You were accidentally married? How did it happen? Who is your spouse?” She asked curiously. 

‘I really hope you are going to be okay, don’t hesitate to give me a call, okay?’ he let the other know with a smile.’ i am here for you with any kind of means.’ jason did not know why but he had always felt like if alison was not here, he needed to be the one protecting the girls for her for a while. so, that is what he was trying to do.

❝ we’re not playing the wedding march at a prom event , ❞ he stated incredulously at the idea of it. he really hoped the other male wasn’t serious. the scowl eased into a frown at his words.  ❝that’s the thing , i don’t trust you. I don’t even know you.  ❞ he pointed out bluntly for emphasis on the why he didn’t exactly take his words to heart.  ❝ it doesn’t exactly help your case that you’re so calm . circumstances considered.❞

his lip did a slight twitch downward : not the slightest bit amused. but apparently his HUSBAND thought it was funny.  ❝ ha , that is if we had a song, so either you’ll have to do without. does that bother you ?❞ the tone is a touch condescending but reality he had a strong point. the only evidence of that night was proof that it happened on paper. ❝ unless you were coherent enough to know what you were doing ? because if that’s the case we’re about to have an entirely different problem. ❞ his temper fluctuated at rapid highs and lows. and the fact he had little tolerance for jason definitely did very little to help the situation.
