Foster Brothers: By The Blood

Flowers❁

(Beau's P. O. V.)

My father? As in my actually blood related father? Calling me? Wait, he's not my father. He's a monster. A cold blooded killer who has nothing to do with me.

Though, I took the phone from Damion's hands and I pressed it to my ear.

"This is Beau." I tried to sound intimidating. Luke and Jai were sitting close together, and they were staring at me with wide eyes.

"Son-"

"Don't call me that. I'm Beau." I stopped that nonsense right away.

"U-um alright then, Beau, it's me your dad. I'm allowed to have one phone call per week, and a few visitors every month. I would really appreciate it if you and your brothers would come by. I want to talk about...that day. I believe you guys deserve an explanation." He said, with his voice as rough as I remember.

"For one, you're not my dad anymore. I'm an orphan now. Second, we don't have an interest in seeing you. I'm sorry but there is simply nothing to be said. You ruined our lives, so please just stay out of it from here." I stated firmly, even though a part of me kind of wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Beau please! I need to see my little boy. I need to apologize! I need to see how Jai's doing, even though he probably hates me."

"Not as much as Luke does. And by the way, I'm not little anymore. I was forced to grow up the day you made that horrible mistake."

There was silence from the other line.

"Come this Thursday. That's all I ask. I can explain some things, and perhaps you'll give me another chance." He begged.

"Another chance is the last thing you'll be receiving."

I said to him coldly before hanging up in his face. I pulled the phone from my ears, and then I stared at it for quite some time. I never thought I would hear his voice again.

"What'd he say?" Luke questioned.

"Nothing important. He pulled the "oh I'm so sorry please forgive me and give me a second chance" crap. I don't buy it. He wants us to visit him this Thursday, but-"

"No way! You told him no right?! There's no way we're going to see that guy! I swear I think I might actually kill him!" Luke was furious.

"Relax! I don't think we'll go see him." I calmly said to him.

"Think?! You don't think?! I thought it was an obvious answer!" Luke yelled.

"Well, I was wondering whether or not we actually should. I kind of want to know what was going on his head that day." I shrugged.

"Are you insane?!" Luke's voice grew louder.

"Am I?! Luke is it wrong to seek justice for our mother?! I want to know what happened that day because all I remember is that we walked in on Dad and Jai, shots were fired, and now we're here. I had no idea what was happening, and I wanna find out what he thought gave him the right to take my mum from me!" My voice was now raised as well.

Luke didn't say anything.

"He said I wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore." Jai whispered to himself, but I still heard him.

"He planned on killing me didn't he? Because, you can't live life without worries." He looked up at me for an answer as he spoke up at a normal tone of voice.

I didn't have an answer.

"I don't want to see him." He said with a voice full of the sound of broken tears.

"You won't have to. And it doesn't matter either. He didn't get his way then, and he isn't gonna get it now. We're not going to see him. End of discussion." Luke said, grabbing Jai by the hand and then leaving the room.

I let out a sigh, truly indecisive of what to do.

"Rough night huh?" Damion spoke up as he moved to sit on the bed. He patted the spot next to him, as a signal for me to come and sit. I obliged, only nodding my head.

"Penny for your thoughts?" He said.

"I just...I don't know what to do. Part of me wants to go and talk with him, but the other part of me wants to get as far away as possible from him." I threw my arms up in frustration.

"But um....doesn't Jai always say that he loves the rain and storms?" Damion asked.

"Yeah so?"

"Well after it rains, the ground is wet right? With wet ground, the soil gets the nutrients it needs and then before you know it, a flower grows. Maybe it's raining right now, but a flower is getting ready to grow." He told me, voice sincere as he smiled at me.

"You're taking after Jai I see." I smiled in return. He shrugged and then added,

"You learn a thing or two from the kid."

He left the room, and I was then alone. I still didn't know what to do! Luke didn't want to go and speak with our dad, and let me tell you, he's as stubborn as can be. Though, that didn't mean I couldn't go speak with our dad right?

Looking over at a calendar hung up on my wall, I noticed that it was already Wednesday. That meant our dad wanted to see us tomorrow.

"I can't believe I'm about to do this." I said to myself as I began to pull on a coat and slip on my shoes.

If I was going to go see my dad, I would have to leave tonight. That way, I'll be at his prison by morning and Luke won't be able to stop me.

So, I then pulled out a pen and paper from a drawer in my bedside table. I scribbled a quick note down that said,

Went out. Don't wait up. Go with Dallas to work, stay safe, and dinner's in the fridge. I'll be back soon.
Love you all,
Beau

I've never lied to them before. I mean, I guess I'm not completely lying, because I didn't deny the fact that I was going to see our dad. What they don't know won't hurt them.

With all of that said and done, I opened my bedroom window and slipped out quietly. I made my way to the garage, and I hopped onto one of the old bikes that we had in the back.

If I bike all night, I'll be at the prison by dawn. I'll be able to have a chat with my dad for a few hours and then be back home by dinner time. Perfect!

They'll never know either. What could go wrong? I'm just going to go have a simple chat. Luke is definitely overreacting!

Maybe with this whole storm going on, a flower is getting ready to grow.
