Rainbows Don't Last

Stories untold

Bluey

As we all walked inside, Dad saw London.

"London? What're you doing here?" He asked, he seemed annoyed. "H-Hi dad..." London responded sheepishly. "You know I don't want you here London." Dad was starting to get on my nerves, seemed Bingo was a bit pressed now as well.

"I'm sorry dad, mom let me in." He told him, "I don't care who let's you in, you know-"

"Dad, enough."

"Bingo Heeler, what'd you just say?" He asked, "I said enough. I don't know what you and London went through, but if mom let him in, then he comes in, and if you want him gone, I'm leaving with him." Bingo told our dad.

"Bingo, this ain't your fight mate." London tried to protect her, "Like that matters to me?" She asked, "You really think I want to be deprived of my sibling once again? That's a load of bull."

"Bingo, watch your tone." Dad told her, "and plus, you don't know our past. Don't try to cover up something you don't underst-"

"Then make me understand!" She screamed, "Make me understand why you hate our brother so god damn much dad!" Bingo was now fully screaming.

"Bingo-" "No! For once you'll listen to me! I'm sick and tired of not being told things! I want to know why the hell I'm thrown away from all this! I'm not a baby anymore!"

"Then sit down Girls, I'll explain." Mum told us, "Chilli-" "Bandit, they have the right to know why London wasn't here. Even you know that" she told him, "Okay then."

Mum went on about everything. Telling us how London got into trouble at a young age and was a hard to handle kid when he was young. They sent him away after he hurt another kid in school, Dad called him a disgrace and not part of the heeler family.

"Dad, you sent our brother away when you couldn't control him like a parent should? You serious?" I asked him, "Bluey!" Mum screamed, "No, she's right, I couldn't do it back then. So I did what I thought was the most crude option." He pointed out.

"London, Bluey, Bingo, I'm sorry." Dad finally gave us the apology we deserved. "Dad... Can we please put this behind us and be a family again?" London asked.

"Okay Bud, but this our last chance." Dad said. "No more monkey business." He kept on.

"Ok dad. Thank you." We all shared a family hug.

"Welcome home, London Heeler."
