Catching a case?

Chap 1

Jahseh

"Flight 13 to Chicago....I repeat flight 13 to Chicago"

That was my cue, I grabbed all my bags and headed to the desk to give them my pass and headed to the back. I put my bags at the top and sat down while putting my earplugs in and staring out the window. I never thought in my 15 years on this earth that I would ever meet my father. I never even heard his voice or talked to him before.(Sighs) I I know is I woke up yesterday morning to find my mom having another argument with her husband James.
-Flashback-

" FUCK YOU AND THAT GAY ASS SON OF YOURS! YOU NOT HAVING NO DAMN PARTY!"

"ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW? MY SON HASN'T HAD A BIRTHDAY PARTY SINCE HE WAS 12 AND THAT WAS ONLY BECAUSE EVER SINCE YOU FOUND OUT HE WAS GAY YOU TREATED HIM LIKE DIRT!"

He chuckled and grabbed my mom by her shirt smacking her on the ground.

"Either you kick that fruit loop out or I walk and everything goes including your life and this motherfucking house" he said as calm as can be

My mom got off the ground and sat on the couch taking a hit of the rest of her blunt before she spoke.

"Fine...........I'll talk to jahseh's dad and he can go live with him"

-flashback over-
So as you can see I'm going to stay with people I'm related too but don't even know. I honestly rather stay with my mom and her abusive, homophobic husband but I guess my mother chose a guy she's been with for 5 years over her own son. Welp I have a 3 hour flight so I might as well get some rest.

Chris

"Chris shut the hell up"

"I'm just saying pop, we don't know this kid and what if he's a stuck up you know he's from Los Angeles right?"

My dad turned around and stared in my face.
"Chris, he is my son and I didn't even know I had another child. Whether you like it or not he is staying here so shut the hell up and deal with it."

I sucked my teeth and sat next to my sisters and brothers on the couch. Damn my dad need to learn how to wrap shit up. How did you not know you had a 15 year old son, we already have enough people living in this house. It's 5 of us that live here and that's not including my dad. It's me, Isaiah,Jaden,Taylor and Maria. Then there's my dad and our step mom Lauren. She is the mother of Isaiah and Maria so they have both of their parents in their life unlike us three. Me and jaden share the same mom but she passed from cancer and Taylor never met her mother because she passed when she was born. I have no hate towards the kid because I never met him and neither has dad but I hate meeting new people and I just hate the fact that it's going to be even more crowded in this bullshit ass house. We live in a nice big house that has 5 rooms but where is he going to sleep cause I am not sharing my room.

"Chris imma need you to watch everything since your the oldest"

"Can I come with you?"

He looked at me as if he was thinking about it

"Umm....I don't know"

"Come on dad please? Isaiah can watch the house he's the second oldest and very responsible"

"(Sighs) fine but Maria is watching the house and not Isaiah"

Isaiah: what? Why can't I watch the house

Dad: because last time you had strippers in my kitchen

Isaiah: oh yeah that was lit (laughing)

I shook my head as we headed out.

Jahseh

"All passengers we have finally landed to Chicago, please be careful on your way out and have a nice time in chi town"

I grabbed my things and walked off the plane into the airport. Since I don't know what my dad looks like my mom told me to look for a man with dreads and a brown skintone. That shouldn't be hard to look for since most of the people around her were white surprisingly.

For the past 15 minutes I was looking but couldn't find him so I sat down on the nearest bench and waited. I began listening to more music as I looked around still looking for a man with dreads.

-10 minutes later-

While my head was down and my eyes were closed I felt someone tap my shoulder from behind, I turned and saw some light skin boy and a man smiling at me.

"Are you by any chance jahseh?"

I nodded my head and grabbed my bags. I only had 2 backpacks since James burned most of my shit. My "dad" smiled at me as we walked to his car.

-skip to home-

We pulled up to a nice big house and got out the car. When we got in I saw 4 other teenagers sitting on the couch staring at me.

"Damn why you only have 2 bags? Were you homeless?" Some light skin boy with culry hair said

"Isaiah shut the hell up, don't be rude" said the boy that was with me at the airport

He came up to me and introduced everybody

"The rude one and obnoxious one is Isaiah, the one with pink hair is Taylor, skinny Minnie is Maria and brown skin is jaden"

I nodded my head at them

"This is jahseh and he will be staying with us. Please make him feel welcomed children and jaden he will be sharing a room with you since you two are the same age." My "dad" said happily

Jaden: sure let's go jahseh so I can show you our room

I followed him upstairs and into the room. It was dark with grey walls and dull colored beds but I like stuff like this so I fit right at home already I guess. I started unpacking and getting myself situated.

Jaden: not trying to be nosy or anything but where is the rest of your luggage? Did it get lost or something?

I shook my head and kept doing what I was doing, not even answering his question. He nodded and headed back downstairs. I don't talk much and that's how I want to keep it. I don't know them and I feel like the outcast not only that but the Isaiah guy already basically thinks I'm weird because I only have two bags but it's whatever. I didn't want to be here in the first place. My mom chose a man over me and that's all that I know.
-3 hours later-

Chris

Dad: Jaden can you go get jahseh and tell him that dinner is ready?

Jaden: he said he wasn't hungry while I was coming down here
He shrugged as he fixed his plate

Dad: we-

Taylor: dad you can't rush him, he just met us not even 4 hours ago I'm pretty sure he's not used to us yet. We just have to give him time that's all

He sighed and nodded his head. I honestly feel bad because dad really wanted to bond with a son he never knew he had. I don't know the kid but maybe I can talk to him and get him to be more comfortable and open around us, I mean he is going to be around us for a while so he might as well get used to us. I'll get him to open up sooner or later.
