BOUNDARIES

Chapter 15

THIS CHAPTER IS A CONTINUATION OF THE FIRST PART OF CHAPTER 14

He left D's house with nothing but joy unspeakable.

He took out his phone and scrolled through his recent contacts and one by one , he clicked the button that he knew would commence his new start

DELETE!

He drove off after a few minutes sitting in his car, his hands gripping the steering wheel a she absorbed the vents of this long day

Allison was back

He had a son, Liam

And his brother was now reconciled.

A day of shock, yes, but in the end, a sweet resolution.

His mind was set. He's going to make all the necessary changes to accommodate his son. First he'd have to tell his family though, and this was the biggest challenge of all. Knowing them, they'll go bananas!

First, premarital sex

Then, unprotected premarital sex

Thirdly, he's bringing home an unexpected child with no means of support.

But it had to be done, it was inevitable though

By the time he got home, they were both asleep and his determination that fueled his urge to go wake them up in the middle of the night and blast them with the news has died down.

He walked silently to his room and prepped for bed. School tomorrow

Another piece of stress in his life.

He showered, brushed his teeth and climbed into bed.

He took out his phone and couldn't help but looking at Liam one last time.

He sat there in the dark, the midnight hour with nothing but an overload of thoughts flooding his mind as he got lost in Liam's eyes. He finally accepted the fact that he was going to be a father.

Wait.

Correction.

He is now a father.

The words still felt foreign as they rolled from tongue.

"I'm a father " he spoke, but rather to himself, with a string of self-encouraging thoughts being hurled at him

These voices in his head soon dulled and the silence brought a sense of calm that whished him off into a blissful sleep.

Monday, which seemed once so far away, flew around the corner in the short space of 5 hours and so did the days of the upcoming week and the week after that.

He had gone to several interviews in the past week and really none seemed to meet his interests but he soon realized that it'd take an eternity finding something he actually loved doing at this stage and s he had to settle for what was available to help in whatever way he could.

He knew that this new addition meant a world of change for him.

NO more queue of girls

No more time wasting

And FOCUS

He needed to get out of this town and in fine style too with the necessities to foot the bills he knew would be coming sooner rather than later as time nowadays flew by a gush of wind passing through the autumn leaves, shuffling them and leaving nothing as it was before.
