Chapter 6


Optimus P.O.V

"Bee…you know it's wrong to hit someone…no matter how mean they are" said Arcee

"But…he wouldn't stop hitting me…" said Bee "I had to do something"

I looked to the principal.

"It was a onetime thing…" I said "I swear it won't happen again"

He sighs "It better not…"

"Bee…you better tell him sorry for this trouble" I said

"I'm sorry…" he said as he looked down sad.

Arcee kissed his forehead.

"Prime…do you show Bee any violence around the house…"

"No…" I said

"Just wondering…"

I stared at him confused.

"You guys may go…" said the Principal.

We walked out of the principal office and we see Steel and his son. He gave me an angry stare and then looks at Bee.

"He is your kid?" he laughed

I ignored him and kept on walking.

"You can't protect him forever…" he yelled "Your wife is beautiful…"

I hugged her close to me along with Bee as we walked out.

"Who was he?" she asked

"He used to work at the factory but he got arrested and now he is fired" I said

"Oh okay…" she said

We got home and Bee dropped his stuff and sat down. I walked up to him and knelt.

"When I come back from work…" I said "We are going to have a big talk"

"Yes…dad…" he said as tears went down his cheek.

I whipped his tears.

"It's okay Bee…" I said "Things like that happen"

I kissed his helm and went off to work. I have to catch up with the work. Magnus smiles up and asked.

"So…what happen?" asked Magnus

"He got in a fight…" I said "But it won't happen again…"

"Bee is a good thing…I'm sure it won't happen again"

I smirked and looked at him. He just shrugs and gives me the report.

"It's the report"

"Good…and Magnus thanks"

"You're welcome" he said as he walked to his work.

I read over it and sighed as I see little improvement. It's odd…normally I see some result. I groaned as I went to the computer.

It was nine o clock. I kept on working and forgot about the time until Arcee called.

"Optimus…" she said "You coming home?"

"Yeah…let me just save all of this" I said

"Okay…"

I did so and headed home. I opened the door and walked to the kitchen. I noticed Bee was not here at all.

"Where's Bee?" I asked

"In his room…he still feels really bad about what happen"

"Oh…I'll talk to him"

"But first eat…"

She gives me a plate and I started eating. Arcee sat in front of me. She started reading a book. She looks so beautiful.

"What…?" she asked with a raised eyebrow

"You're beautiful" I said

She blushed and kissed my cheek. I finished eating; Arcee picked up my plate and washed it.

"I'll go talk to Bee" I said as I kissed her.

I knocked at his door; I heard a noise and the door opens. I smiled down at him; he was looking straight down.

"May I come in?"

"Yes…Dad"

I walked in and sat down on his couch. Bee sat on my lap. I hugged him tight.

"Bee…how are you feeling?" I asked

"I feel really bad…" he said "I mean I hit the kid and you had to get out of work"

"Bee…" I smiled

"I was really scared at the principal"

"Bee you know you have to be punished"

"I know…but it's not fair he started the fight"

"I know it's hard…but the best thing to do is walk away" I said "And tell the teacher or asked for help"

"I didn't think that…"

"Because it was your first time"

"Yeah…it felt really weird…like I don't know"

"Yes…people go in fights to show who the stronger person…"

"But…?"

"It's not if you're strong or weak it's about if you will be wise enough to let it go"

"You're…right"

I laughed "Next time…if he fights with you again…you go to the teacher"

"But won't that make me look weak"

"No…" I said "It's the right thing to do"

Bee nodded.

"Bee its okay…" I said

Bee hugged me tight. "Thanks dad…" He kissed my cheek. He held me for a long while.

"Bee…?" I smirked.

"I just don't want to let go" he laughed

"Why not…?" I asked

"Because…I don't want to lose you"

I gasped and stared at the floor.

"Bee…I promise I will be with you" I said

He slowly fell asleep and I tucked him in. I kissed his forehead and went out the door. I closed it.
