Brothers By Marriage

Chaper 2

-Bobby pov- (before he gets to his new home)

I cant believe they are making me room with him. Not that I'm complaining about waking up to his face everyday but he can be such an ass sometimes.

"what are you thinking about son"? my dad questioned probably sick and tired of the silence that surrounded our car. yea i don't like to talk much, i don't do much anymore, since my mother passed away two years ago, she was my bestfriend, she meant everything to me.

"why are you rooming me up with Aiden, don't they have like 100 rooms in that mansion of there's"? "Plus how is he going to feel knowing that he is rooming up with a boy like me"...... "CRAP!!! Dad we never told him i was gay!!!" I yelled as fear swallowed my entire body.

"Calm down son, Amanda will take care of it, i asked her to tell him for us so you don't have to worry about it".

"thanks dad", i whispered.

I wonder what he is going to say when he sees me. he is probably going to hate me i know it.

"so the restaurant is looking pretty nice", my dad said just trying to keep the conversation going.

"oh yea that's cool" i responded trying to sound interested.

ever since my mom passed he has been doing things that he always wanted to do in life. sort of like a bucket list and number one on his list, open a new restaurant.

"so when does it open again dad?" i asked just to satisfy him i already knew the answer i just wanted him to feel accomplished that he made me talk.

"within one week if everything stays on schedule just cross your fingers." he began to cross his fingers while we were in a moving car going 60 miles an hour!!!

"Dad two hands on the wheel right NOW!!!"

"plus crossing your fingers on both hands is bad luck dad" i said finally relaxing as both his hands shot to the wheel.

"i don't believe in superstitions son you should know that by now" he said while rolling his eyes

"well.... dad i would of if you didn't abandon me and mom when i was little." i felt bad for saying that we already forgave him for leaving he just wasn't man enough to take care of his responsibilities. that's why i was so close to my mom she was all i had left that i truly cared about.

"dad I'm sorry i didn't mean that it just slipped out" i said trying to sound as sincere as ever

"yes you did son but its ok your right."

without a second thought my father pulled over on the highway, not knowing what he was going to do i was prepared for anything, I'm used to getting beat up at school anyway.

his head drop as he cleared his throat. he then reached for me and i closed my eyes ready for the punch my face is all to familiar with.

he then wiped my tear that had fallen and hugged me so tight stars were floating in my line of vision

"Dad? what was that for?" i questioned not only was i relieved it wasn't a punch, but shocked it was a hug he has never hugged me before... well not one i can recall.

"Listen bobby, i hope you know i really do love you, you mean the world to me and I'm so sorry i did that to you and your mother you guys didn't deserve it. i was stupid, young, and afraid of the responsibility i have created with your mother i know i lost 13 years of your life but i really hope we can start fresh and get to the point where you really forgive me and love me like i love you."

Wow he really just apologized that's all i was waiting to hear since my mom took him back a few years ago

i took off my seat-belt and embraced him like i never did before i know he appreciated it because he began to shed tears. i simply wiped them away as he did with me and thank him for the apology.
