Blood Brothers

Chapter 9 - ACM's

~Bo's Point of View~

I just got done getting ready with my dad to go to the ACM's. It took me a lot of convincing especially with Mama, Tate, and Bailee on my side telling him to go host and perform tonight. Not letting people know I was going to be guitar and backup vocals for the song.

Mama has gotten progressively sick. She started losing her hair. Her skin color is worse. She is a lot weaker. She gets sick for a while after a chemo treatment. I hated seeing her that way. It's upsetting. She also hates it but she doesn't act like she does. She keeps saying sorry to Pa for having to take care of her. Seeing them together is adorable but so sad now that she is going through this.

Tate has been stuck at home with Mama especially when pa is busy. He chooses this though. He won't leave her alone even when she tells him to fuck off. He wants to be around her. He won't do anything but be there for her. Which Pa has given him a few days to go off. He's been going around with that one chick that I saw him at the trails with.

Kendyl and I have been okay. She's been distant the past week. She normally would stay about three nights a week with me whether it involved sex or not. I have been so caught up in the album, music video release, and my mama that I haven't made time for her and I'm pissed at myself. Tomorrow I want to take her out just us; somewhere she would love, and ask her out.

"Ready to walk on the red carpet son?" My dad asked as the Limo stopped. I smiled and nodded.

"First time." I said. He smirked.

"Of many. After the music video is released at noon tomorrow, you'll have a bunch of people unable to wait to hear more of you. You'll have women galore. You'll have so many albums sold. After tonight it will make people want to watch the music video. Now let's go kiddo." Pa got out first and then I did.

I saw flashes from everywhere. I just smiled and looked at a few people. I saw people looking between my father and I and pointing. I had a few women wink and blow kisses. I smirked. I could diffidently get use to this.

My father and I had pictures together, apart, him with fans, and some even wanted me in them. This one girl grabbed both of our asses and told us we had the same ass. I just looked at her confused while my father laughed it off and kept walking. People even interviewed him about mama. He said I'm not answering questions at this time on the matter. You could tell he wanted to get away from that and not let it lower his self for tonight.

We found where I would be sitting most of the time alone. He would only be around a few times. There was a bunch of people packed in here. I remember seeing a lot of this people growing up. I saw Keith Urban and his daughter Faith. She looked at me and looked away. I guess Tate fucked her over too.

My father talked to me about people who were here and how these went. He said that I would really enjoy the ending. I raised my eye brow but then he was off to start hosting.

Soon it was my turn to go backstage and get ready for the performance. I was nervous because this was big. Not many people had this opportunity but my manager said that this would be great. I had some women messing with my hair, and putting me in a different top. My dad was just sitting there relaxed as people did things to him. He was also on the phone. He had a smile on his face which I knew meant that he was talking to mama.

"Pa is that ma?" I asked. He looked at me and nodded. "Say hi for me." I told him.

"Hey baby, Bo says hi." He said. He looked at me. "She said Hi my big boy and that she wants you to play your heart out tonight with me. She'll be watching and rooting for us at home." I smiled. Ma was always so proud of us.
