My family colours

Chapter 7 - the talk

natsu's pov

Me and Lucy made it back home and mama was patiently sitting on the couch with a tissue in her hand. It was silent and cobra ran straight upstairs whilst pops led me and Lucy in the living room. We sat down with the silence still surrounding and mama looked down. 'How long?' she mumbled and i looked at lucy. 

'two months' i answered and she nodded her hed slowly but she didn't look up at all. 'mama i'm sorry, we are sorry, we never asked for this but i'm 18 for christs sake' 

'DON'T SAY THE LORDS NAME IN VEIN!' she snapped and i just slunk back on the couch. 'Lucy is it?' 

'yes' she replied and mama chuckled. 

'do you have a place to go?' mama asked and lucy slowly shook her head. 'well then, in that case, there are rules in this household, the females clean and help cook, sunday is an all chores day, you will eat healthy foods to keep this baby strong, there is no disrespect of the lord, and we are all a family, the house may be small but i make sure all my children have homes' i looked at mama and then at lucy. 'you are keeping this child, i do not believe in abortion and adoption, you two were silly enough to get in this state, you deal with it the hard way' after that she walked to the kitchen and put on hymns and sung along to them. 

'she may be sounding harsh, but that her showing love, its exaclty how she dealt with cobra and laxus, don't worry you two' pops said. i'm suprised that the talk went well since what happened before. 

two weeks later, mama and the girls were preparing dinner and me and the guys were cleaning the house, going down the laundry house to do all our clothes. Gajeel is so lucky that he doesn't have to do this anymore, the others miss him but i dont....okay fine i'll confess i do miss him but it's better that he lives at college right now because me and lucy have a room for us and the kid. i'm really scared but it's the only way to make up for my actions. 

mama and lucy are getting along, mama doesn't like rich people because she finds them spoilt, lucy may be rich but she isn't spoilt, her fatehr treated her poor and she never asked for money or anything like that, she's done everything on her own. 

we come back in the house with fresh clean and dry laundry and fold them all together in the baskets for us to sort out. later. we then empty the baskets and then put more dirty clothes in and go back down to the laundry house. 

---

it was finally time for dinner, we prayed and everything and ate our food. tradtional african american sunday dinner, we have everything on there and there is always leftovers that mama gives to the neighbours after. 

whilst we were eating stings phone kept beeping and pops was giving him some serious glare. 'sting we are eating, put it away' he said and sting just put the phone on silent. obviously he could see the messgaes and had a smirk. 'who you talking to boy?' 

'no one pops' 

'then put it away' he said and sting just put the phone in his pocket. we went back to quiet eating until we could hear the vibrating  sound of the phone and pops got angry. he slamed the metal cutlery on the wooden table and hit his hands on the wood. 'DAMMIT STING, PUT IT AWAY!' he snapped and everyone ignored it and remained silent. sting then scoffed and walked away from the table. 'WHERE YOU GOING BOY!' 

'i'm going to put the phone away, and remain where my phone is because i can't stand you screaming at me 24/7' he spoke back and i just looked back at rogue who mimed an awkward whistle. 

we all thought sting would come back down the stairs but he didn't it made pops angry. but he never got up to get him. if we got up from dinner and never came back, pops would drag us back down to sit and eat, and wait with you to finish every bit of food. it happened to all of us. 'joe let him be, he'll eat his food later' mama said and pops remained sitting.

i get woken up by the sound of cries and screams which sounded like sting. i slowly creep downstairs trying to not make the wood creek. 'WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT BACK CHATTING TO ME! EEH!' pops yelled and i heard sting scream after me hearing the sound of a lash of a leather belt. 'YOU TREAT THIS FAMILY WITH RESPECT!, YOU TREAT ME WITH RESPECT!' he yelled and i wanted to help him but i was actually frozen solid with fear, and if i interupted pop's disapline, i would get something completly worse. 'YOU ARE A DISGRACE, GET OUT OF MY SIGHT' he yelled and pushed sting in the hallway. 

my brother just laid on the floor shivering and crying in pain. his white shirt was ripped at the back which showed belt lashes and i just felt so bad for him. i walked down the res of the stairs and helped him up. 'shh it's okay sting it's me, come on' i whispered and got him on his feet. 

'i hate him' he whispered, i hate him, i want him dead and burning in the gates of hell' sting and my father have no father son connection, i don't know why but they just never really got along. i think it's because sting and rogue are the same age, but dad loves rogue more than sting, we all admit that rogue is pops favourite, and sting does his best to prove that he can be succesful like rogue. he can sing act and draw but because he chose drama, dad asumes he's gay and my father is very homophobic when it comes to stuff like that. he once called him a chi chi man, its a jamacan slang for gay boy pretty much. we don't even know if sting is gay or not, none of us are agaisnt him, but he never tells us anything. 

we walked in quietly because rogue was still sleeping and handed sting a fresh pair of pajmas. i helped him in bed. 'natsu we don't really get along but i need to tell you something' he whispered and i just crowched down and stared down at him. 'i'm bisexual' he whispered and i just froze. i thought he was straight. 'my phone was buzzing because i'm talking to someone but it's not a girl' he panicked and i just calmed him down. 

'sting it doesn't matter, im not going to tell anyone, thats up to you, i accept you for who you are because your my brother, your my family' 

'but i don't know if i am gay or not' 

'sting, it's okay, it's your life, i'm not going to control it, but i will have to demand you to sleep because it's 1 am and we have school tomorrow' 

'night natsu' 

'night sting' i said and left the bedroom. i walked back in mine and lucys room and went striaght to bed to sleep. i'm so not in the mood right now. i can't believe he's bi. i'm not agaisnt it, i know people that are gay, i remember laxus friend freed, he was crazy about him. dad on the other hand. only lord knows what he'll do.
