Jason's first love and crush, Part 3

Jason is slowly adapting to being in foster care, however; he is still hurting about Mr. Jackson. Despite having two gay foster parents, he really hadn’t developed a bond or trust with them yet. Jason hasn’t built up trust with his psychiatrist either. Jason feels alone, isolated with no where to turn. His foster dads take him places to see if he will open up to them, but Jason only clams up the more they try. But things are about to take an even more sinister, evil turn for Jason. One that will shatter his confidence and trust even more.

One night while the family was returning home from an outing, their car was hit head on by a drunk driver. It killed the foster parents instantly. The fire department had to use the jaws of life to get the two older children out. Jason had to be cut out of the car, he was the worse of the three children. The police had social services meet the ambulance at the hospital. The police officers gave all three children teddy bears. Jason was taken to the hospital by flight for life.

Mrs. Evans, Jason’s case worker met him at the hospital. She also called and advised his biological parents of the accident. Jason was rushed right into surgery. They had to remove his spleen to stop the bleeding. Still heavily sedated after surgery, the advised that it would take time for Jason to come out of sedation.

When Jason did come too and was fully coherent, Mrs. Evans broke the heartbreaking news to Jason. The blood curdling scream could be heard on the entire floor. Mr. Jackson came to visit which seemed to brighten his day a little.

Roanoke City has a policy of attempting to place LGBTQ+ youth with like kind families. They also have a policy which prohibits foster parents from discriminating against LGBTQ+ youth. The doctor told Mrs. Evans that Jason would be released in about fifteen days.

Jason’s injuries were quite severe. He had multiple compound fractures of both legs, his right arm, a concussion, a broken back and a broken pelvis. They were giving him morphine for pain. It would take even longer for the emotional scars to heal.

Mrs. Evans went looking for another foster family, with parents that were skilled. She found another gay couple which worked in the medical field, one was a nurse the other one a psychiatrist. Mrs. Evans had the potential foster parents meet with Jason. Both men walked in and immediately fell in love with Jason. Their names were Thomas Ford and William Jones. Thomas commented on how cute Jason was and told him about their house. Before the potential foster parents left they gave him a welcome to our home photo book to review.

These men had five other foster children, four girls and one boy. Jason would be the youngest. The decision was left to Jason, but his case worker would not or did not pressure him into making a decision. Jason decided within three days he wanted to live with the new foster family.

The oldest girls name was Tangerine and was sixteen, The second oldest was named Belinda, she was fourteen, The third child’s name was Cindy and she was Thirteen, next came Kandi aged twelve and finally Ben who was aged eleven.

The parents had their hands full with all of these children. Thank God for grand parents. Tomas had to work, but his mother was also a nurse so she came and stayed with Jason to administer his medications and monitor his condition over night. Tangerine took an instant liking to Jason and kissed his cheek when he arrived.

To be continued… I was asked the other day if this was a true story and it isn’t. It s a fictional story that I wrote while in jail.
