Chapter 10: Run Mason
"There's my little boy!" I look up from playing with Rex and see her. Kaylee. "Mommy missed you so much cutie!" She picks me up and kisses all over my face. "Get off Kaylee!" She smirks and puts me back down.
"Here's a new play mate for you baby boy!" I look up and see my best friend. My brother. The one who I got into this. "Mason?" He sits next to me, sucking on a green pacifier, looking down at the grass. "What'd.. What'd she do to you?" He looks up at me with tears in his eyes and shakes his head. "I..I don't want to talk about it." He looks back down and Rex comes over to him before I can say anything else. "Hiya my names Rex, what's your name?" Mason draws in the grass with his finger, not making eye contact with either of us. "That's Mason, he's kind of sad today." I grip his shoulder and squeeze it for comfort. "Why you sad Mas?" Rex sits next to him and rubs his back, making Mason flinch. "This is his first day as a baby." Rex nodds his head in understanding and hands Mason a toy car. "Here you can play with us." Mason gives Rex a half smile and pushes the car back and forth in front of him. I guess Rex has the same affect on everyone. He's just so friendly and innocent. I sigh and crawl more towards Rex. "Can you help me with something?" Rex smiled and nodds his head. I whisper in his ear and he shakes his head. "What if mommy gets mad?" I look around then back at him. "I promise you won't get in any trouble Rex please?" I show him the Batman bracelet on my wrist. "You wearing it?! Yay!" He giggles and nodds his head. "Otay Landy." I smile and crawl back towards Mason, letting him in on my plan. "Do you feel any different? Like from um medicine?" He shakes his head. "I made sure not to drink anything today." I smile and nodd my head towards Rex.
"Mommy! Mommy!" Rex screams out holding his arm, running towards Stella. "What's the matter honey?" I slowly move away from Mason. "Landy tripped me!" He starts to cry and Stella picks him up. "Aw baby I'm sure he didn't mean it." I crawl towards them more. "Landon come here right now." Cindy comes over to me and brings me to the bench where Rex is. "Landon what happened to Rex?" I pretend to cry and that's Rex's cue. "It's okay mommy it no hurt anymore. Can I has juice?" Stella puts him down and turns around to get Rex a juice box, leaving Rex to go under the bench and find Kaylees keys. Cindy and I may have walked here but Kaylee and Mason didn't. I keep 'crying' and grabbing at Kaylee and Cindy, making the distraction last longer. "Landon what's wrong honey? What's the matter?" Rex quickly puts the keys in my lap and goes back to Stella. I point down at the grass, motioning that I wanna be put down when Kaylee grabs my butt. "You can go play after a change, someone's wet again" She smiles and goes to lay me down. Dammit. Why is my bladder betraying me? I squirm trying to get down but she grips me tighter, Cindy goes to get the diaper bag and I throw Rex the keys with all my strength, not caring at this point if they see.
Unfortunately, I have the strength of a toddler now, so they didn't go very far. Rex laughs hystetically at this and grabs the keys running to Mason. I roll my eyes and watch the two out of the corner of my eye while I get changed. Rex drops the keys in Mason's lap and quickly runs back to Stella for his juice. Mason just sits there, staring at the keys. Mason you fucking idiot run! He's thrown off from Rex handing him the keys and not me. We were gonna ditch together but I'm a bit busy. As long as one of us gets out of this, it's still a victory. It's my fault he's like this anyway. "Mason go! RUN!" He gets up and starts to run looking behind him one last time. "IT'S OKAY BRO RUN! GO!" He nodds and makes his way to the car.
The girls try to catch up with him, leaving me naked from the waist down on the bench. He speeds off, Rex and I high five as the girls make their way back. Kaylee picks me up, still naked down there and bends me over her lap "You are in so much fucking trouble Landon." I gulp. At least Mason's free, for now.
