And my popularity is increasing from moment to moment. It seems like the Z magazine helped a little bit .

My mom advised me to leave my job at the gym and search for one that has to do with architecture. Well , I did what she said. And have been writing to find a job 3 days now. Leaving my CV at companies and small businesses. No phone call yet .

"Ela" I say , as I pick her and away from my computer. She has been starting to crawl and she is just a moving mess

She starts to cry and I try to calm her down but she want stop

"Okay okay. Here's the computer" I say sitting with her next to the computer but she won't stop crying. I reach for a bottle of milk for Ela but she doesn't seem to be hungry

I check if she needs to get her diaper changed but it's not that

"Why aren't you stopping crying?" I ask , as I swing her in her swing

The door bells rings so I run there , leaving Ela crying alone for a few moments

I open the door and see Kelly on the door

"You re my saver" I tell her , grabbing her hand and pulling her into the house

"What's wrong" she asks , and I walk with her until my room

I pick up Ela and Kelly just doesn't get it

"She hasn't stopped crying a while now. Can you hold her or something ? Sometimes she misses a female gender in this house" I pass her Ela. Kelly takes her into her arms and Ela just stops crying after a few seconds

"I think you are intensed. How can you calm down a baby when you can't calm yourself?" Kelly says , and Ela's eyes are on me

"It's just that I have no response yet for any position and . What am I gonna do if I don't get a job any time soon?" I ask and Kelly gives me back Ela

"Can you chill? You will. It has only been 3 days. Be patience .In a few days you will definitely get the phone call you need " Kelly reassures me and Ela's eyes start getting watery

"No no no. I'm not nervous or anything. Please don't cry again" I tell to Ela as I try to prevent the tears from rolling down her eyes . The first tears start rolling down but I swipe them away with my thumbs "oh there's she goes again , every morning is the same , you walk by my house , I wanna call out your name. I want to tell you how beautiful you are from I'm standing" I sing to Ela but she won't stop leaving the tears escaping her eyes

My phone rings so I leave Ela to Kelly's arm and run to the living where my phone is and pick it

"Hello?" I ask through the phone

"Hey Shawn" my mom's voice is heard through my phone

"Mom, why are you sniffing?"

"Shawn..."

"Mom what is it? You are scaring me out. Is everything okay? Dad, Aaliyah , you?"

"Your dad"

"What is it with dad?"

"Someone shot him while he was going to the bank. It's all over the news"

"Dad..Is.."

"He is dead" my mom says , crying loudly and my phone drops down

I walk to the room and see Ela crying with me

"What are you crying?" Kelly asks me

"Someone killed my dad. That's why Ela wouldn't stop crying. She felt it " I say taking Ela into my arms

"Oh my god. Shawn I'm so sorry" Kelly says , starting crying and she comes and hugs me and Ela

My dad is gone. My dad was killed. Someone killed my father and Ela's grandpa. Dad is in heaven...
