I posted the video of Ela crying while watching ' fathers and daughters ' . And it 5 hours it has like 500.000 views . And I have like 200k followers. And I feel useless cause I don't do anything special to have that many followers. And I don't think being a father is a talent , isnt it?

I'm over at my parents with Ed and Nash . My mom invited them , to have lunch all together,like we used to do when we were 8 .

"When is the photoshoot?" Aaliyah asks , scrolling down on her feeds

"Thursday. And I don't know what I am gonna do there" I say , feeding Ela

"Try to be cute with your daughter" Nash says , and Ed looks at him like 'dude how did you even get into medical school'

"Just play it cool . And don't say to many information . And don't mess up. And don't start talking ab--"

"We got it Ed. He will just hold  Ela and smile " Aaliyah says and my mom gives her a warning look "Sorry Ed" Aaliyah adds

"Thank you Mrs.Mendes" Ed says and my mom gives him a smile

Tomorrow is the interview - photoshoot. And clearly I don't know what to do. Or why even , I will be there . It's not that I'm used to eat . I just have some followers and a daughter. Moreover , no one is helping

Ela starts crying and Nash takes out his phone , and records

"What are you doing?" Ed asks him

"Whenever Ela cries , something happens" Nash says , explaining himself

"I'm sure nothing will happen " Ed says and Ela stops crying "See?She stopped" Ed adds

"Shawn sing her that song you wrote a week ago" my mom says , and when I sang her the song , she got emotional. I mean my mom , not Ela

Nash is still holding out his phone , and they are all waiting for me to start singing . I take a deep breath , to look at Ela , who is just looking at me , with the leftovers of the tears , still on her face

"I wanna go back , forget that it's over , paint it in black , when you left me alone. I never knew , she was sleeping next door with the kid I grow up,but I can go back no more , not anymore. You tell me you are happier with him , but you wanted me to stay , and you said that you needed time , but you , pushed me away.  And every time you try to take me back , my heavy heart just breaks , no I can't lift the weight"  I sing , the first lyrics and then look at Ela

She is a crying , but she is not sobbing or making any noise. She just lets her tears roll down her big brown eyes and her lips trembling

"She is a baby. How can she get emotional with a song?" Aaliyah asks , and I wipe away Ela's tears and hold her near my heart

"She is a special baby" I say , looking at her face , to she her a little bit calmer

Nash gives me his photo to look at the video. It's pretty good . He asks me if I want to upload it , so I log in from my account and post it . And in a few minutes I have 100.000 views and more followers than I ever expected to have .

A few hours later , and after lunch , Ed with Nash left and I stayed for a little bit longer.  I have Ela on my sling , if I can call it mine , or whatever. It's very practical and it helps me have Ela everywhere I go

"Don't forget to mention me at the interview" Aaliyah says , going to her room

"I want forget" I say as Ela holds my finger with both of her hands

"You know who journalists are, don't be a fool and be clever" my advises me

"Just bring Ela over when you are done " dad says . He likes to spend time with Ela.

Truth is that ,I don't know what to do tomorrow. How will I even get dressed?
