Barry's POV

When I came home, Kara told me about Henry getting detention at school. I didn't believe her because I know that he is a good kid. So, I called him to ask him myself and when I did, he said that he indeed got detention. I got angry because this is not the Henry I know. But before I could reprimand him, Kara lost her cool and started to yell. I tried to calm her down while Henry ran to his room.

B: calm down Kara. Yelling is not going to do the job right now.....i try to convince her.

K: then what does Barry?....she shouts.

B: you know you are over reacting babe. He just got one detention and why are you freaking out?

Her facial expression softens. I think I can see tears start to form in her eyes.

B: Kara......are you crying?....i ask her with concern.

I know how much she loves Henry and how much she missed him all these years.

K: I know it is just one detention Barry but what if this the start of something serious and he goes down the wrong path. It will all be my fault because I was being too selfish and sent him away in the first place.......she breaks down.

I feel tears in my eyes too

I feel tears in my eyes too. I can't see her cry.

B: babe, you are not selfish. If anything, you are the opposite of selfish. You are the most selfless woman I know. You sent your own son away just to make sure that my daughter gets all the attention and love.....I say hugging her.

K: our daughter.....she corrects me.

Ever since Iris died, Kara considered Frankie as her own daughter. She even adopted Frankie legally.

B: yes, our daughter...I reply with a warm smile.

We hug for a minute and then I went upstairs to talk to Henry.

When I entered his room, it was a mess and there was a suitcase on his bed. I asked him what was going on and he said he is leaving. I was shocked because why would he want to leave the only family he has.

This made me angry and frustrated. How can he leave us? We just got him back. I yelled at him asking what he meant by "can't live here?" I expected him to calm down and listen to me but instead he yelled at the top of his voice saying nobody wants him here and everyone thinks that he doesn't belong.

I understood his feelings. He is hurt. So, I consoled him and talked with him. I asked him about Frankie but he replied vaguely and I know that something was up between the two. I asked him to come down for dinner. He said he wasn't hungry but then agreed to come.

I went to the kitchen to help Kara with dinner and saw Frankie watching TV.

B: How was your day Frankie?

F: it was good dad.....she replies with a smile.

B: what is the issue between you and Henry?.....i asked her.

I know she will probably lie but I want to hear her answer.

F: problem? Why would there be problem between me and my brother dad?.....she said in an innocent voice.

B: don't do that Frankie. I know you are not telling the truth. Why can't you give your brother a chance instead of hating him? He didn't do anything to deserve your hatred......I scold her.

F: sorry dad....she says looking down.

B: when he comes down for dinner, I want you to apologize to him. Is that clear?.....i reprimand her.

F: Y....yes dad...she replies in a small voice.

I know I am being hard on her but if they are going to face the world, they have got to stick together, especially with the growing threats.

I just hope she understands before it's too late.

During dinner, Frankie apologized to Henry reluctantly. But nonetheless, she did. After dinner, we cleaned up and went to sleep.

Next morning, I woke up at 6 am and came downstairs to see Kara and Henry cuddling on the couch and watching a movie. I smiled looking at the scene and walked towards the kitchen to get started with breakfast. Kara and Henry helped me.

Frankie's POV

When I came home from school, my mom was cooking dinner. I sat on the couch watching TV. My dad came downstairs and asked me about my day. He then scolded me for not treating Henry well.

That twerp snitched on me. He is not going to get away with this.

During dinner, my parents made me apologize to him and I did

During dinner, my parents made me apologize to him and I did. I am going to need a better plan to get rid of him. I know he fears me and I can use that to my advantage.

After dinner, I went to my room and called Cole.

Phone convo

H: hey babe, miss me already....he talks in a sexy tone.

F: we need to come up with a better plan Cole. That twerp just told on me to my parents and they made me apologize to him.....i say frowning.

C: hey don't worry, my boys have already given him a taste of his future today. If he decides to stay for longer, it will only get worse for him.

F: you got someone beat him up?.....she asks him excited.

C: yes and they gave him a very nice welcome.....he says chuckling.

So, that's why he told on me.

C: don't worry babe, he doesn't know it was us....ha assures me.

F: I don't know Cole, what if my parents find out. They won't hesitate to kick me out of the house....i say worried.

C: no one will know it was us. So, don't worry and have a good night babe.

F: k....night bae.

Phone convo end

I took a shower, put on my PJ's and went to sleep.
