A- hey lex
Lr- hey babe. You seem a little loopy today
The nurse comes in
N- he was having a lot of pain so they pumped up his drugs
Lr- good to know
The nurse steps back out
A- oh yeah that's what happened
Lr- well I'm back on the cheer team
A- oh really? I thought you hated doing that
Lr- well I'm just the manager now, so no more flips or flying or anything like that
A- good
Andrew kisses her
Lr- I can't stay too long, cause I've gotta get to practice before it ends
A- ok. I love you
Lr- I love you too, when are you getting out?
A- should be in a few days
Lr- good, I miss having you at home. It's kinda lonely only having Theo in the house at night
A- well my mom should be getting here in a couple days too so then you won't have to take care of both me and Theo
Lr- I don't mind babe
A- yeah but now that your on the cheer team
Lr- their not really having any competitions right now, and I don't have to be at every practice
A- I know, but you'll be at school during the day
Lr- I can skip a couple of days
A- why are you so upset my mom is coming?
Lr- it's not your mom, I just don't want you to think you'll be a burden of that I have too much on my plates because I can handle it
A- I know you can, but as you said, I don't wanna be a burden
Lr- you won't be. Ok. You know, I'll just tell Jess I can't come this week. I mean you have physical therapy and your getting out soon
A- that's what my mom is coming for
Lr- I just don't want your mom thinking any less of me because she had to come up here since I couldn't take care of you
A- she won't think that. She understands you have a lot on your plate. I mean your still grieving your mom, your taking care of Theo, your trying to catch up on school and do your SAT's, and your not letting anybody see you breakdown
Lr- I'm fine
A- just listen to me lex
Lr- fine
A- it's ok to let other people help you. I know you think you have to take care of everything, but just let someone else do something. I mean my mom coming up here could take some weight off your shoulders. And plus, she could spend some time with her grandchild she hasn't even met yet
Lr- ok
A- ok. Now get going, your already late enough to practice
Lr- I can be a little more late
Lexi kisses Andrew
A- seriously, go. I'll be good here
Lr- but you'll be alone, and in pain
A- nothing I haven't done before lex. I love you, now go
Lr- I love you too. I'll see you tomorrow
A- ok
Lexi leaves and goes to practice. She gets to practice not long after it starts
Lr- wait are you guys just now starting?
J- did you forget that our manager also choreographs what we do?
Lr- I did for a minute. But we can't do this every practice. Why don't you guys spend the time I'm not here to start making dances and I'll just go over them when I get here and try to mix what some of you guys come up?
K- we could do that
O- yeah I mean we complained about Bree not doing what we wanted for long enough
H- and now that Lexi's giving us some time to do what we think we should
G- let's do it
Lr- we got the ok from everybody else, is this good with you Jess?
J- yep. Can I just talk to you alone for a minute lex?
Lr- sure
They step out into the hallway
J- this is what we've been doing, and it hasn't been turning out good, at all
Lr- that's why I'm gonna go over what you guys come up with. I'll rearrange some of the moves, and combine some dances with others, and then I'll have you guys go over it to make sure your good with doing it
J- and your not just doing this cause you've got a lot on your plate. I know you have to take the SAT's still
Lr- I do, but I can squeeze in some homework here and there
J- yeah but you need to take this SAT's girl
Lr- I know, I just can't focus on that right now. All I can focus right now is cheer, Andrew getting better and going home, Theo, and getting some missing work done
J- ok, but expect that we're gonna be checking your grades and making sure your getting those Fs up, or we're benching you
Lr- your gonna bench me from being a manager?
J- yep
Lr- ok. Do I have a due date I need to have my grades up by?
J- the next cheer event. Which is in a month, so get ready
Lr- ok
They go back into the gym
G- y'all get that sorted out?
Lexi looks at Jess and nods
J- yep. Now me and Lexi have agreed that all of us are going to be checking on her grades every week to make sure she getting all of her classes up, even by a little bit
K- oh and checking those SAT's scores once she takes them and gets them back
H- that probably won't be for a while
K- maybe, but since we already took them, we can give her advice about what to do and what not to do
H- how? We haven't even gotten our scores back yet
K- like keeping yourself calm wise. How we kept ourselves sane while doing it
Lr- that actually might help
O- yeah but we're definitely gonna help you on some assignments, right?
J- yes
Lr- I guess so
Y- we should just do some practices study halls and we'll spend most of our studying helping lex
Lr- no, study halls will be for us all to work on stuff, and then help me once you finish everything
Y- ok
Lr- now that we have everything sorted out, practice is over
J- what?
G- seriously?
Lr- you guys need to brainstorm some ideas you guys have for competitions and that'll be your homework for today. Go home and work on all of your actual homework, and then sketch out a plan on a spreadsheet or something and tomorrow, while I'm gone, you'll rehearse it with the others. You'll have plenty of time to get in all of your ideas with each other and bounce off ideas and then I'll go over them with you guys and see what you think when I get back
J- that sounds like a solid plan
G- yeah actually
O- it's not a bad one
Y- I'm in
K- me too
H- me three
Lr- glad you all agree. You guys can stay and work on some ideas with each other, or go home. Because that's where I'm going. The coach is right over there waiting with anybody who's ride is going to be late
J- bye lex
H- see you lex
Lr- bye guys
J- don't forget to get your work done
Lr- I'll get it done
Lexi leaves. She stops by Blake's house on her way home to get Theo
Lr- thanks for taking him today guys
Bl- no problem lex
J- yeah it was good practice
Lr- so when are you guys free again?
J- not tomorrow
Bl- or Wednesday
J- or Friday actually
Lr- so every other day this week?
J- mhmm
Lr- great
Lexi leaves and goes home. When she gets there, she sees Andrew's mom sitting on the steps. She gets Theo out and all of her school stuff and heads up to the porch
Lr- hi ms Davila. I thought you weren't coming for another couple of days
Am- I got an early flight. I wanted some time with you and Theo before Andrew came home
Lr- oh. Well let me open the door for you. How long have you been waiting out here?
Am- since my Uber dropped me off, which was a half an hour ago
Lr- oh I'm sorry. I had practice and then I had to pick up this from my brothers house. Um the guest room is ready for you
Am- thank you Lexi
Lexi opens the door
Lr- I'm gonna go use the bathroom really quickly. I'll make something for dinner when I get back
Lexi puts theos car seat down and rushes to the bathroom. When she gets out, she sees Andrew's mom making dinner
Lr- oh you don't have to do that
Am- please, let me
Lr- ok
Am- you've gotta go take care of Theo
Lr- uh yeah
Lexi goes to her room and feeds him and then bathes him. After that, she changes his diaper and brings him back out into the living room with her
Am- dinners done. I made pasta
Lr- thank you ms Davila
Am- please, all me Karla
Lr- ok
