A Bolton Thanksgiving
Chapter 1 receiving the phone call to invite me to my family's for thanksgiving also looking back on my life
The phone rang as i was chilling with my husband Moby and my 21 year old son Oscar watching the TV so i picked up the phone and said " Hello there who is speaking?."
I heard a voice that i haven't heard in a long time " Hi Sword it's Bends here i am wondering if you wanted to come and spend thanksgiving with me as i am feeling kinda lonely as the idiots are away on missions all the time so if you are not busy by the way i am not doing this for them its for myself so will you if you have time in your busy schedule on Marine Life?."
I felt Moby behind me on the couch looking at my back urging me to answer to heal the broken bonds that i used to have with my family Before my dad passed away so i took the chance and said " Yes uncle Bends i will come and spend thanksgiving week with you is it okay if i bring my husband and son with me as well?."
Bends looked shocked but recovered and said " Thats sounds perfect Sword see you later i look forward to seeing and hearing all about your marine bio life alright?."
I hung up to be given a kiss on the lips from Moby he said " I am proud of you for taking the right step forward to healing the bonds with your family and also to clearing up the past i know it will take a long time but the bonds will heal if you let them Sword come on Son time to pack we are going to your Gramps place for thanksgiving attn hut".
I smiled as my 21 year old son jumped off the couch saluted and pelted up the stairs with his father into their different Bedrooms and started packing bags ready to head to Fission City to my Uncle Bends for thanksgiving so i began phoning my old friends to hear their happy sequels that i was coming home for thanksgiving and i also promised them to fill them in on everything even my sexy husband Moby
So a week later we were all packed and setting off in the car with Moby pulling out of the drive in Marine City and driving out of the city with me in the back seat letting my memories of how i became a top Marine Biologist flow into my mind.
It all started when my dad became sick 31 years ago i was only 14 at the time my big brothers were 17 years old then when the results came back and it showed that my dad had cancer and he only had 3 months left to live for us it was terrible but i put a brave face on and carried on if nothing had happened as dad asked me too so i did and everyone at school had heard about it as i was busy studying up on cancer and how to counter act them to save my dad's life but it was too late it had already infected his organs so there was nothing i could do to save him the father who i loved so much my big brothers were devastated with this news of dad having only 3 months to live Ripster was real close to dad and he was shaken beyond words it was like he was going to lose his father just like he lost his mum as well the others were the same as it was only 2 years ago that dad was found and now they were going to lose him forever and i looked liked dad i didn't know that this was going to be a bad thing that would break the family up like titanic sinking in the freezing ocean never to be seen again so three months later dad died and i did my best to look strong but i broke down at the funeral with Uncle Bends comforting me as well as my friends but my big brothers changed beyond words when we got back home they said to me as i was putting the plates away " It should have been you Sword why did you have to look like dad?."
I stood there in shock at this my big brothers who were always there for me said something like this i didn't know what to do about this so i snapped back at them " I don't like your attitude and me killing myself won't bring dad back alright so stop this stupid act up right now".
Next minute i was on the floor Ripster had punched me saying " It's your fault dad died so stay in your room until we decided you can come down again which would be like never you can still go to school but nothing you will ever do will change things come on guy's as far as i am concerned i wish i never had a sister who looks like my father".
I pelted up to my room crying my eyes out hearing the laughs from Ripster and the guy's behind me so they left on their mission so i closed my bedroom door behind me crying like anything i saw my school books and thats when i changed so i sat on my chair and began to study which shocked the guy's when they came back to see my bedroom light on and seeing me studying but they never bothered coming to my room to see me so i turned my light off at 10 pm and fell asleep so next morning i was up early which shocked Bends as i emerged from the bathroom and got changed into my school clothes and did my own packed lunch and had my breakfast and i totally shocked Bends even more when i walked to school instead of catching the bus i shocked my friends when i showed up at class with a bruise on my face i told them everything to them looking angry at my big brothers but what happened next totally left me with a broken heart my big brothers were also in school and drunk as anything so they saw me with my friends and came up to us and said " Hi dad hiccup what are you doing in school?."
My friends snarled at Ripster " What the hell are you idiots doing here drunk and Sword isn't your dad get that straight through your pathetic skulls".
I said " Come on these losers are not worth it".
So we walked off leaving my big brothers totally speechless but they chased after us and beat my best friend Sara up but i jumped to her defense and beat Jab up badly making Ripster, Streex and Slammu back away looking shocked i help Sara up but it was too late Sara was dead i yelled at them " HOW COULD YOU WELL THAT'S IT YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT CALLING ME YOUR LITTLE SISTER GO HOME NOW AS I AM NOT DAD AND NEVER WILL BE DAD DIED OF CANCER REMEMBER OR HAVE YOU FORGOT THAT AS WELL AS BEING BLOODY DRUNK".
Seeing them coming too and seeing Ripster's look of pure rage at me he stormed away leaving me with Sara in my arms so i attended her funeral alone with the rest of my friends who were speechless as anything about my big brothers being drunk and thinking i was dad i said to them " I need to get out of here you guy's they will never change and i look like dad so i need to do something".
When i got home they were like zombies not even looking at me or anything but i ignored them and made myself tea and headed to my room to study where i was meet by my uncle Bends who i invited into my room he gave me a form which i saw was for Marine Biology he said " The internship starts in 2 months so fill the form in and hand it back into the office at school as you are the only one who likes marine wildlife alright?."
I said " Here is my report card Uncle Bends and i will fill this in as well then i will get on with my studying alright as they will never let me come back downstairs again OK?."
So with that my new life started so i always handed my report cards to my uncle Bends so i took the internship at the Aquarium and totally impressed the people there as well as doing my school work which i got a A+plus in my classes as i was studying hard so the people in the Aquarium passed my name on to the marine Bio headquarters in Marine City who immediately phoned me and offered me a job which i happily agreed to so i told Uncle Bends who took me to a cafe to celebrate i also decided on something so i said to Uncle Bends as we passed the hairdressers " Uncle bends i need to do something for myself can you help me choose a new hairstyle please?."
He nodded in understanding so we entered the hair dressers and several minutes later i reappeared with a short spiky hairstyle which suited me fine but the old me was long since gone i was the new me which Bends noticed and decided to do something about as he knew a friend his name was Moby he was an expert on Marine Life so when we got back home he phoned Moby and told him everything that happened and told him about me and my new attitude change so suddenly and said " If she chooses you as her soul mate when you are passing her room and you hear her crying and if she calls you a jerk o whale be prepared to fight her alright?."
He nodded so i called my friends and they came to see me off it was a tearful goodbye for me but my friends wished me the best of luck as i packed my stuff into the car which Bends had bought for me so they waved goodbye to me as i drove off into the distance never to be seen again then my memories flipped forward to my new life as a marine biologist and meeting Moby it was nice of him to meet me outside the headquarters and he showed me to my room and after i was unpacked he showed me to the meeting room but when i found out he was a friend of my big brothers he noticed my attitude towards him changed i hated him beyond words but i had to work with him but i pretended to be fine about this but he totally shocked me one day as we were busy writing up the details of the Killer whale we were studying " I am really proud of you for letting me work alongside you i heard about you from my friends at the aquarium it is an honor to work alongside you as well by the way".
Seeing the shocked look on my face he returned to his work making me follow suite so later that night as he was heading back to his room he heard me crying in my bed he walked into my room and knocked on my door causing me to wake up i snarled at him " What the hell are you doing in my room jerk o whale turn your ass right round and leave".
He said " No i am not leaving so get your ass ready to fight as you will have to beat me up in order for me to leave".
And he jumped onto me knocking me flat in my bed and we fought but he kissed me on the neck then pulled away blushing " S...sorry maybe this was a bad idea".
I didn't want him to leave i kissed him on the lips to him hugging me close to him as tears poured down my face which he noticed and understood that i didn't hate him i loved him so we kissed again and i took of my pajamas as he took off his shorts and i lay flat on my back in submission crying as all my emotions flowed out of me as we made love he let me cry my heart out then i began to calm down and began to loosen inside which he was waiting for he thrust inside me again to me gasping in pure pleasure so several hours later i was in Moby's arms talking about my past as i felt he needed to know and what my big brothers did to him looking angry he said to me " You don't look like Professor Bolton my love your are Sword Bolton and no-one else and the love of my life so Bends is the one you keep in contact with may i ask?."
I nodded and said " I haven't been in touch with him in a long time Moby as i am afraid in case my big brothers pick up the phone as they think i am still at home studying in my room as they will never let me come back downstairs again as they blame me for dad dying as i looked like dad back then".
He looked shocked but understood and then memory flash-forward to the scene where on our Mission to study dolphins Moby proposed to me and i happily said yes to him hugging me close becoming top marine biologists and then my little boy being born but what i didn't know was recently if you all allow me the guy's were at the house sitting outside when my friends were walking past looking excited about something in the newspaper so Ripster called " Hi Sasha , Roxie what with all the excitement about in the newspaper?."
They looked at each other then nodded and came over and said watching our expressions " Oh nothing just reading about Sword's latest achievement as top Marine Biologist".
Ripster blinked a few times and said " HUH WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SWORD IS BUSY STUDYING IN HER ROOM."
Sasha said very angrily " WHAT TIMELINE ARE YOU LIVING IN YOU IDIOT HAVE A LOOK IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU LOT SHE CHANGED HER WHOLE ATTITUDE CHANGED AT SCHOOL SHE FLUNG HERSELF INTO HER STUDIES THAT NIGHT AFTER THE FUNERAL OF YOUR DAD AND SHE HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE THEN".
Ripster took the newspaper and read it with the others looking over his shoulder then he pelted inside and up to my room and opened the door to see that i wasn't there at all then he looked at the paper again then came back out looking like he had just woken up from a dream he said " Tell me everything right now".
They laughed at him and said " We are not the ones you should be asking that question to it would be Bends that you should ask the question to not us ha ha ha".
Jab said " So it is true Sword has moved on with her life and left come on we to ask bends for the whole story as i am not feeling so happy".
So they found Bends busy working he looked surprised to them all in his workshop looking like they had woken from a bad dream but he was not happy when Ripster asked " Is this true about Sword in the newspaper Bends?."
Bends yelled at him " YOU LOT HAVE SOME NERVE TO WAKE UP NOW AFTER YOU RIPSTER HIT HER AFTER SAYING YOU WISHED IT WAS HER THAT DIED INSTEAD OF YOUR FATHER THAT'S WHEN SHE CHANGED BUT YOU LOT CAME TO SCHOOL DRUNK AND KILLED HER BEST FRIEND THAT TOTALLY CHANGED HER BOTH INSIDE AND OUT SO SHE FLUNG HERSELF INTO HER STUDIES AS YOU LOT MADE IT CLEAR THAT SHE WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED BACK DOWNSTAIRS AGAIN AS SHE LOOKED LIKE YOUR FATHER SO SHE GOT A+ PLUS REPORTS AT BOTH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE AND YES THE NEWSPAPER IS TRUE SWORD IS A TOP MARINE BIOLOGIST AND HAS MOVED ON WITH HER LIFE NOW GET OUT OF MY GARAGE".
Seeing the shocked looks on their faces they pelted out of his garage crying like anything making him pelt after them yelling " Guys come back i am sorry i yelled at you come back guys but they had disappeared so Bends went off to find them as it was starting to rain he soon found them looking red rimmed outside Rox's studio with Rox comforting them they looked up at Bends who said " Come on i will tell you guy's everything after you guy's get some hot showers and coco alright?."
They nodded so after they had hot showers they were sat around the table with steaming mugs of hot coco with Bends telling everything so after his story he found the report cards and also a picture of her new hairstyle which shocked them completely so Ripster said " I...I don't believe it she has moved on without us i am glad we were really terrible to her as she looked liked dad back then but she never looked liked dad she was her own person i can't believe it took us this long to wake up and realize that we need to set things right and heal the bonds between us before it is too late so can you phone her Bends please but not for us but for yourself as if we phoned her she would hang up on us so will you please?."
Bends nodded so after he had a talk with me he hung up the phone with the guy's watching he smiled and said " Guess who is coming home for thanksgiving week you guy's."
They cheered with happy tears flowing down their faces so Bends added " She is also bringing her husband Moby and her 21 year old son Oscar with her as well".
Seeing the looks turn to complete shock Jab stuttered " S...She is married to Moby and they have a son so all three are coming to thanksgiving Bends?."
So the following week we arrived at the house and got out of the car Moby noticed my quietness he gave a hug saying " It will be alright Sweetheart i promise come on let's not keep Bends waiting.
So rate and tell me what you all thought of that episode
