The next two months, Ellis spent time between his apprenticeship, coursework and work experience to spent time with Cameron before he has to start at university and the next time that they see each other is around 6 months.

"Here." Cameron handed him a photo frame, Ellis put the photo frame on the bedside table. He hugged Cameron. Ellis was helping get the rest of the stuff that Cameron that needed to take with him to Newcastle.

"Remember, my mum will be asking you to come have dinner a lot because she will miss me." Cameron said placing a box on top of a box, Ellis helping put some of Cameron's clothes into another box.

"Cameron, here." He placed the ornament of a cat to Cameron. He put it in bubble wrap and then into another box. Cameron's dad came to the bedroom occasionally to take boxes to the van.

"How much are you taking?" His dad said taking the box close to the door, Cameron looked at the boxes then at Ellis, and then back to the door, hearing his dad swear walking down the stairs.

"Is it too much?" He sat on the chair, Ellis knelt down and looked up at Cameron.

"What's wrong?" Ellis said taking hold of Cameron's hand.

"I'm scared." Ellis heard this for the first time, he looked up at the Cameron, he looked at his boyfriend about to cry, he stood up and then looked down at the sniffling boy, he then embraced him into a hug, Cameron put his arms around Ellis.

"It will be fine, you will do great, I'll be here waiting for you, I'll do all my work, do well with the apprenticeship and work experience, I'll try get a job at the weekends and we can talk all night if that is what you want." Ellis said to calm his boyfriend down. Cameron looked up at Ellis, he smiled.

"I love you."

"I love you too." Ellis bent down and kissed Cameron, seconds later they were helping Cameron's dad put boxes into the van.

Hayden, Seb, Elliott, Finlay, Mat and Steven along with Mollie, Harriet, Jake, Cassandra, Millie, Caterina, Luke and Adam were all there to see Cameron of, he hugged and high fived everyone. His mother wouldn't let go of him and had to be pulled away by his father. His father got in the van.

During the two months that Ellis and Cameron had been getting ready to sent Cameron off, Ellis parents and his met. They spent a couple of days meet g and getting to know each other, Cameron's siblings and Ellis's sister have grown to like each other.

They came to wish Cameron a good time, Ellis's and Cameron's friends started to play with the twins and Mackie. Cameron's mum and Ellis's mum went into the house to make sandwiches and juice for everyone, Ellis and Cameron was stood away in their own private world.

"Good luck, be brave and call me when you need me to talk to you." He said kissing his boyfriends head and wiping away tears. Cameron hugged Ellis wishing that he wasn't going and that he could spend the rest of his time with Ellis.

"I will, you don't forget coursework and the work experience." Cameron said handing him his favourite pen.

"I won't. Now go." He took Cameron's hand and got him into the van.

Everyone stopped playing, the mum's came out of the house, Ellis stood next to his dad liking at Cameron straight in the face and waved, Cameron waved back. Everyone waved. The van started to go down the street. Ellis stood there and waited for it to go round the corner. After a minute he went and played with his mates and the siblings.
His and Cameron's mum went into the house.

Ellis smiled thinking about how Cameron's was going to do well at the university.

It was 3 hours later, Cameron and his dad had stopped for some food. He promised that he wouldn't call Ellis until he got to the apartment and settled down. They were sat in Starbucks, he was looking out of the window.
