Rainbows Don't Last

A Family Divided

Bingo

"Our brother? We have a brother?" I asked, "Yes mate, you do. His name is London Heeler." Dad responded.

It was all so shocking, how could we never have known? "How old is our brother?" Bluey asked, "18 Now kiddo, he's probably moved on from us..." Mum said.

"Do we have a number, location, anything?" I asked, "We have a location, maybe it's best we-" I put my hand on my mom's shoulder, "I'm finding my brother wether you like it or not." I told her, and asked for the address.

"Bluey, you in?" I asked, our brother somehow still lived in Brisbane this entire time. We were destined to find him.

"Always, let's go meet our brother." She told me. It was on, we got in the car, hit the GPS, and we're off.

We arrived at the place, it was a smaller house then ours, but it didn't seem all bad.

"LONDON! YOU IDIOT! CLEAN IT UP!" We heard a voice scream from the house. Then we saw a dog come running out of the house. "Hell no! It ain't my job to pick up after him, I'm done here, maybe I'll go back and find my real fa-" he stopped as he saw us.

"Wait... Who are you?" The red Heeler asked, "London?" I asked, he answered, "How do you-?"

"London, we are your sisters." Bluey told him. "We came to see you... Is it a bad time?" I asked. "No, if anything your timing couldn't be more perfect. Bluey, Bingo, get me out of here." He knows our names!? Either way, we got London away from the crazy dog in that house and brought him back home with us.

"Hey guys, wait, LONDON?" Mum asked, "H-Hi mum..." He said, "Hope its okay, the girls brought me back-" Mum hugged him as hard as possible and cried.

"Of course honey... Sorry" she quickly released. "What made you come back?" Mum asked, "Well..."

"Ya know I've tried! They won't take someone with my disability Stacy!"

"That don't mean you can't! I bet you fake everything! Just like you're other family! And pick up Zooli's mess, you've made me mad today!"

"No! For the last time, I won't be picking up after that spoiled child! I'm going back to my old family! To hell with y'all!"

"London... I'm so sorry." Mum hugged him, "And I'm sorry for what I did, I'm sorry for hurting our family, can we please try again?" He said, we weren't sure what he meant, but I suppose we would know soon enough.

"Always London, please, go talk with your sisters, get to know each other while I make lunch." Mum told him, he walked up to us and began talking.

"So, why did you leave home?" I asked, "That's a bit complicated, maybe we can return to that." He said, "Okay London." Bluey said.

"So you two are my sisters, gosh... Hard to believe you guys are already in highschool, seems like just yesterday I left home..." He said, nearly crying now. "Hey." Bluey put her paw on his shoulder, "You may have left home, but it ain't too late to retry." We all shared a hug, and went inside after some more talking.

Today was going to be rough.
