It's been two weeks and Iris keeps ignoring me.I was talking with Mark.Then a ball went to me.I looked at and saw a little boy.Seemed like he kicked that ball.I have seen that kid before.He's always with Iris."Sir,can you give us our ball?"the elder boy yelled and i kicked the ball to them.The kids continued playing."How many kids are here?"i asked Mark."about 200"he replied."Are all of them orphanages?"i asked and he nodded."all of them have different stories and past which are not very good"he sighed."especially Ethan."he sighed."Who's he?"i asked."the boy who kicked the ball earlier"he said."His parents were shot in front of him.And he was dying when he reach here"Mark continued."how long did he reach here?"i asked."about two years"he answered.It was the time when we lost our baby.If i could turn back the time,i would've  protect the baby.It's all gone now.After having a talk with Mark,i was walking along the camp.Then i saw something.A group of boys bullying Ethan."hey what are you guys doing?"i told the boys and they ran away.Only Ethan left."hey are you okay?"i asked and he nodded."What's your name?"i asked as i bent down to his height."Ethan Karlos"he whispered."And how old are you?"i asked."6"he answered."And why you look so sad?"i asked looking into his eyes."because i'm alone here"he mumbled.It touched me."No Ethan.You're not alone.I'm here for you"i smiled at him.He looked at me with his eyes wide."but you're going to back"he sighed.I was tensed.I really pity at this kid."But we can have fun while i'm here.Am i right?"i smiled."really?"he asked his eyes brighten."sure"i nodded."c'mon.lets go back to your tent"i gave him my hand to hold and he held my hand tight."Can i play football with you?"he asked."sure."i smiled at him and he was very happy.

"Iris!"Ethan ran and hugged me."hey Ethan,what's up?"i smiled at the boy."lets play.c'mon"he pouted as he dragged me outside.Then i saw Brooklyn with a ball in his hand.He seemed surprise when he saw me."Brooklyn,we're here"Ethan smiled.I was tensed."Ethan,what are you doing?"i asked in confuse."Brooklyn told me to find my teammate.Could you play with me?"he pouted."ahm"i said not suring what to do."Please"Ethan pouted."alright"i smiled at him and then walked to Brooklyn."hey"he smiled at me."hey"i smiled back."Alright.I'm gonna play alone while you two are a team"Brooklyn told us as he started kicking the ball.It went away.Ethan got the ball and ran.We ran to him.Brooklyn took the ball from Ethan and ran.I followed him.I was trying to get the ball from Brooklyn.But he's a profissional football player and i'm just a tennis player.That isn't fair."what's that?"i yelled at the sky and Brookly looked at the sky."Gottcha!"i smirked as i got the ball and ran away."What?You!"he smiled and chased me."here Ethan"i said as i kicked the ball to him.Brooklyn jumped over me to stop the ball.We both fell to the ground and Ethan scored the ball."We won!"he yelled and ran around happily.Brooklyn and I laughed at his reaction.Then our eyes met."It's been a long time to see your smile"he said.I looked at his eyes.I could see sorrows in his eyes."We won Iris!We won!"Ethan hugged me."yes.We won.You were so good"i told the boy and he giggled.

I looked at Iris and Ethan who were laughing.Suddenly,a strange thought went in my mind.What would happen if they are my family?If they are part of my life.I want them to be in my life.But i've already Chloe and i shouldn't hurt Iris anymore."Brooklyn?"Ethan asked."yes"i answered."Can we play like this again tomorrow?"he asked.And i looked at Iris for answer and she nodded."Sure"i smiled at him."yay!"he cheered and we chunkle at him.Then we headed to our tents back.Then we became close again by playing football with Ethan everyday.One  day while we were playing ,I was trying to take the ball from Iris.But i tremble and fell over Iris.Our faces were only a few inches away.And she was looking at me.I leaned closer to kiss her.But she pushed me away.And then walked away and Ethan followed her.I was left alone.I think she still hates me.
I'm at my tent packing my things.I've to go back to London now.Then i saw Ethan standing in front of my room."hey buddy"i smiled at him."Are you going back?"he asked."yeah"i sighed."bye"he whispered."But i'm gonna be back here"i smiled at Ethan."They always tell me like this"he sighed as his tears fall down from his cheeks."and they never come back"he said."Ethan,i promise.I'd be back here"i hugged him tight.I don't want to hurt his feeling but i've to go.During these four weeks,we were very close.And i know it's hard to say good bye for both of us.
