"Hello" Marcus voice came through the phone. "H-Hi. This is Elijah, you told me to call" I said as I paced my room nervously. "I'm glad you called. I missed you"Marcus said as I had to hold in from saying something regret. 'If he missed me then why did he leave' I thought before saying "I missed you to". "So tell me every that has happened when I left and who were the group of men you were with today?" Marcus asked. "Nothing much mom got a boyfriend and he didn't like that I was gay so they sent me to a group home" I told Marcus shortly. I didn't want to get into all that had happen since I didn't want him to feel bad. " what about you? What have you been doing ?" I asked. " I just been working and my wife is pregnant again" Marcus said happily. "That's nice. I didn't know you had more kids" he said. " Just one. He was with the babysitter, he's only three now" Michael explain. " that's nice I'm glad your happy." I said softly as I sits on my bed "I'm sorry I left you along with mom" he said as I frowns "it's whatever. You needed to make your own life for your self. You didn't need an annoying little brother following you" I said. " Your not annoying" Marcus said, in the background you could hear a young voice saying daddy. " I have to go but call me anytime. I would love to take you out for lunch or something. Bye love you " Marcus said as he waited for me to say bye before hanging up.

I laid back on my bed and signs. It's been awhile since someone said I love you to him. I just wanted to be alone for awhile since the conversation was kind of draining. I rolled over and grabbed a random book I had on my nightstand. I got comfortable and started to read. I didn't pay attention to how much time as passed until there was a knock on my door "Lunch it ready" Liam  said. "I'm not hungry" I replied  and  went back to reading. "Um Sir doesn't like when we miss lunch" Liam said opening the door. " Just have lunch with out me. Tell him I'm sleeping or something" I said not looking up from my book. Liam sign and went back downstairs as he thought 'well I tried if he gets in trouble that his fault'. I was left alone for a little while longer before Sir came into the room with a sandwich. "Since you missed lunch I decided to bring it to you." He said as he took the book from me and handed me the sandwich. I rolled my eyes and took a small bite of the sandwich since I didn't feel like arguing with Sir. " it's not that big of a deal it's just one meal" I mumbled while I eat. "It is a big deal. You need to eat and next you refuse, I'll might have to punish you baby boy" Sir said causing me to blush. I finished my  sandwich "can I have my book back ?" I asked as Sir gave it back to me. " Everyone is outside playing soccer. Do you want to join?" Sir asked. "No thanks I'm not that Athletic and I want to be alone" i said and waited  for Sir to leave my room to continue read.

A/N: I edit this because I realized I wrote it in the third person when the rest of the book was in first person.
