Bristol was slightly stressed to say the least. She knew there were things, tramas that Ian refused to tell her about and leaving Lydia alone with him honestly scared the shit out of her. The only time Lydia was ever not by her side was when Ian's younger brother James came and took her to her dance class so Bristol could have an hour break three times a week. Other then that Bristol always had Lydia attached to her hip.
"Of course! I could use a little bonding time with my little girl." he scooped her up and a small smile came to Bri's lips. "I love you so much, Bristol. I can't believe we made this beautiful girl." she smiled softly as he kissed her forehead. Having him back was going to take so getting used to. She'd been completely alone for the past for years when it came to figuring out how to balance being a mom and being an adult and the responsibilities that came with both.
"I love you too." she breathed. "No sugar before lunch and no TV until after ballet." she called as she slipped out the door and quickly go into the car. She apologized the her sister, before they were pulling out of the drive way. She tried to carry on meaningless chatted, but Daisy didn't seem to be listening so she eventually stopped talking.
She pulled up to the school and watched her sister get out. She sighed as she said goodbye and she watched her sister walk into school before she left, only she didn't go straight home. She made her way to Delaney's house. The girl she'd known practically her whole life greeted her with a hug and invited her in. Bristol went straight for the pack of cigarette Delaney always had on her counter as if they were never moved, however the girl just smoked that much.
They talked for a while and Delaney reassured her that she'd eventually have her Ian back it would just take come time and she knew her friend was right. Finally Bristol headed home and by the time she got home, Ian was alone and James had already come to pick up Lydia for her dance class only when she walked inside Ian was nowhere to be found.
"Babe?" she called. Nothing. "Ian?" she tired again hoping he hadn't left
Justin smiled when she waved at him however he didn't wave back, it wouldn't be socially acceptable and he hated that he was living by everyone else's standards. Tiffany hadn't missed his eyes falling on the blonde and she certainly hadn't missed the way Daisy waved at him and she made sure to kiss him hard reminding him exactly where his place was in their world.
"She's pathetic." Tiffany spat and her faithful followers agreed. He simply rolled his eyes as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close as they all headed towards the school. His first period was Open Study with Tiff, her friends and half the football team. He could almost guarantee schedules would be changed by the end of the week, because there was no way the teacher would be able to handle all the preps in one class.
The lot of them all walked into class together, the chain of command being Justin and Tiffany walking in and everyone else followed like they were royalty. They all filled the back of the class and Justin took his seat kicking his feet up on the desk carelessly. His genuine good guy personality that he'd had last night with Daisy was completely gone. This was the Justin everyone expected him to be, the pretentious jerk that broke all the girls hearts.
"O'Brain." he glanced up to see the teacher he knew as Mr. Beck a friend of his father's staring down at him and he smirked up at him cockily. "Feet off the desk." He could hear his teammates snickers as he dropped his feet to the floor only as soon as Mr. Beck turned his back to him his feet were back up on the desk.
