Fighter

Chapter 21

Foster Carson (Benjamin Bowers)--->

______________________________

"So may I come in?" Jeffery asked, I could tell he was trying to be polite. "No, you can't, so leave." Foster said, venom dripping from each word. I don't blame Foster or anyone of the Carson's for not liking Jeffery. He doesn't deserve the right to be known as their father or husband.

"Foster who's here?" Tammy questioned, coming up to us. When she saw who was in the doorway her usual bright smile disappeared completely. "What are you doing here?" She spat at him. The rest also joined in to see who it was. Dalton and Caleb also glared Jeffery.

"I came to see my family and I also have some news." Jeffery said, Caleb snorted. "We stopped being family a long time ago, we don't care for any news you have so just leave." A look of hurt crossed his face, but he was quick to cover it up.

"Please can I just talk to you, only for five minutes." The guys were dead set on not letting him enter the house, Tammy though had a look of doubt. She sighed and let him in. The guys' head snapped to her.

"Mom, no he can't come in." Foster said and the guys nodded along. "I don't care, he can come in and only for five minutes." She turned and walked away not leaving any room for argument. The guys trudged after while me and Jeffery just stood by the door.

"You know you look really familiar." I just shrugged and walked to the living room. I sat down next to Caleb and Dalton, while Tammy sat on a recliner, Jacob sat on the floor and Foster stood. Jeffery came in and sat on the last remaining chair.

"So how has everyone been?" Jeffery asked trying to make small talk. "Cut the crap and get to point." He nodded and took a deep breathe. "I'm getting married." Tammy gasped and the guys glared even harder. "What is she another prostitute and you finally found one to stay with you?" Dalton sneered at him.

"No her names Bethany and I met her in a grocery store. She works at a small company and we've been seeing each other for a year and half now." He said with a big smile. I couldn't help but smile for him, he looked really happy.

"So why did you feel the need to tell us this?" Caleb asked with slightly less bitterness. I guess he also can't ignore that Jeffery seems very happy. "Well I was hoping actually the both of us were wondering if you would please come to the weding?" They all seemed very shocked.

"She knows about us?" Tammy asked seeming shocked to comprehend what he asked. "Yes she knows about all of you and she knows how I was, she gave me hell I can assure you of that but she accepted me flaws and all."

"Well I'm not going." Foster spat then left. We heard the front door slam closed. "I'll go with him." I said and stood up, leaving them to talk some more. When I was outside I saw that Foster was just about to pull out of the drive way.

"Need some company?" I asked him while peeking in the window. "Sure." I climbed in the car and we drove off. We didn't talk during the whole drive, but I think it was best for him to get lost in his thoughts. 20 minutes later we pulled up on a dirt road that I've never seen before.

It took another 15 minutes to reach our destination, and what a site it was. It was a huge lake that was in the middle of a beautiful clearing. "Wow." Is all I could say.

"Yeah Mom use to bring us here all the time when we were younger. It just helps me think." I nodded but said nothing. We climbed out of the car and walked towards the edge of the lake.

I took my shoes off and dipped my feet into the cool water. Foster did the same and layed back while staring up at the sky. I layed back and turned my head to look at him. "Do you want to talk about it?" He let out a bitter laugh and shook his head.

"I don't know why anyone would think I would ever want to go near him again. After what he did I despise him, I loathe him, plain and simple I just hate him with every fiber in my body." I had never heard Foster speak so hate fully towards anyone, not even Clarkson. "Foster the other day when you panicked about me touching you, did he have something to do with it?" Just thinking that Jeffery did anything to him or anyone of my friends for that matter, got my blood boiling and made me see red.

"Not directly so to say. Remember how I told you our real mothers were prostitutes? Well I was the last to join the family because my mother actually said she 'wanted and loved' me."

"She only wanted money. Jeffrey didn't see it at first, so I lived with her for three years. I had met Dalton and Caleb already but I was still stuck with her while they were with Mom. Everytime one of her clients came around I had to stay in the room and watch."

"I saw it all, I loved her at the beginning and thats when I made one of the worst mistakes in my life. One of her clients started to beat her and I intruded. He left her and beat me. It happened more times after that from many more men. Every time they came over they either had sex with her then beat me for the hell of it, or they just came over to beat me just to relieve stress. She actually charged them to beat me."

"One day Mom came over because I had a day to spend with my brother's but when she walked into the apartment she saw me on the ground bruised and blood was all over me. She called the cops on that woman and eventually got me in her care. I owe her for walking in that day, but Jeffery didn't really care. He still put the bitch away but not once did he show concern. So thats how my life began."

To say I was shocked was an understatement. No person should ever have to go threw that. I wouldn't even wish that apon Natasha, now thats saying something. People who could ever do that are one of the most sick and sadistic things in this world, at least Dennis knows he has friends now.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that Foster." By now we were both sitting up and looking out at the lake. I placed my hand on his shoulder which caused him to look over at me. He flinched a bit but not as bad as last time.

"I don't need your pity Tori." I glared at him and pulled my hand back. "You really think I'm pitying you Foster? Please I hate pity why the hell would I give it to you. What I'm giving you is concern for a friend. You are my friend and I take care of my friends." I huffed and got up and grabbed my shoes. I started to walk away when he pulled me back but since he was sitting that ended up with us both falling into the water.

I resurfaced and inhaled as much air as I could. Not to long after, Foster emerged from under the water. We both looked at each other then burst out laughing. Suddenly I'm being splashed with water. I look over at Foster with my mouth hanging open. "Oh no you didn't."

He just smirked and winked at me. I suddenly attacked him him by dunking his head under the water. I quickly swam for shore but before I could reach it I was pulled down.

We swam and played for a couple hours then we simply just relaxed on the bank of the lake starring at the sky. The sun was just about to set and I was just watching, waiting for the beauty a sunset holds.

When it was setting I couldn't take me eyes off of it though I could see from the corner of my eye that Foster wasn't looking at the sun, he was looking at me. I just ignored his stare and watched the sun till we had to leave.
