Frank Albion's True Colours chapter 5

so because the next post is so lengthy, I've opted to split it into two.
Enjoy,
Crayonsims/Greenzelda





 
Frank Albion was at it again. Performing his late night, pre-work
routine.
 
For good measure Frank always began working out at 9:00pm
and pushed himself until 10:30pm at least, before retiring to
the bathroom to soak in the tub.
Tonight was different however, and it was on this night
that Frank created a new rule in the house.
From there on Titus was never EVER to enjoy bath-time
privileges. He'd have to use the shower from now on.
In the mean time, Frank was forced to resort to using the shower
while he psyched himself up to fix the tub.
 
 
It wasn't long before he gave up all hope of fixing the thing
and resorted to hitting the bath with a spanner, hoping that it
would in some way, make a difference.
 
Feeling somewhat pleased with his effortless restoration
of the tub, Frank tucked into some PB and J for lunch.
The fridge was one that he'd looted from a dormitory
at Sims U.
No-one had missed it.
 
By the time Titus arrived home from school, Frank had
dozed off again.
 
Titus, picking up on his Father's strange sleeping patterns
followed suit and fell asleep at 4.00 in the afternoon.
Needless to say, he had boycotted doing his homework.
 
At around 9:00pm Frank's carpool pulled up.
The low rumbling of the pickup, stirred Titus awake.
And, as the vehicle drove away, Titus shuffled into the living
room.
 
"D--a--D", he whispered. "Dad, where are you?" he said
a little louder.
 
                                 Titus was all alone in the house. Scared, and frightened, he
                                    helped himself to some food and sat down at the table.
                                   
 
As he slurped his vegetable soup, he began to feel a little
less worried, and decided that he would wait up
all night if he had to for his Dad to return.
As dawn approached Twinbrook, Frank arrived home.
the squeal of tires and the smell of burning rubber announced
Frank's arrival home. He sauntered in the door looking
quite pleased with himself.
Titus felt anger bubble up inside of him, as he rose up from the
table without another word.
Reading Titus's obvious mood, Frank went ahead
and picked up his guitar. If he
were to through his ten year old off the scent,
He'd need to do it quickly.
He sung softly, like an angel to his son.
"Daddy's sorry for being out all night".
He began to pick up his the speed of
his strumming.
"He had some things to do, some waste to take care of".
"SO PLEASE, Can't you see! Daddy is sorry he left you!".
Titus looked at his Dad.
He left him alone, and without a bedtime story.
He stared over at the bathroom door. "Dad is the meanest
person in the WHOLE WORLD". He thought.
"So what do you say, Son?" "Do you forgive me?"
Then Titus bellowed something that had been on his mind
for quite some time.
"I. Want. My. Mummy!" he tearfully said
Frank placed the guitar down, and sauntered over to where
Titus stood. "Her? Why would you want Amy?"
"Because MY MUMMY WOULD NEVER LEAVE ME!".
 
"Well, sure but lemme ask you something. Where is she now then?"
Frank asked coolly.
"Now, let me tell you something that is going to blow, your little
10 year old mind".
"This guy, got a promotion".
After their little fight, Titus remembered his homework,
and for once dutifully completed it.
It didn't make him feel much better though, knowing that
he couldn't complete his 'family tree' assignment.
After all, he didn't even know if he had Grandparents.
Everyone had Grandparents, right?
 
 
 
Stay Tuned for part 2, which will be available shortly
