Ellis and Cameron

16

Cameron left for Newcastle, Ellis was still taking time from school, he feeling unhappy and not feeling like doing anything. He was laid in his bed, phone turned off and asleep, not going downstairs to eat or seeing anyone.

"Ellis dear, come eat something, are you like this because Cameron has gone." His mum Sharon said at the door. Ellis didnt say anything, Sharon left after a while.

Mackie walked into the room after a while, she sat on the bed, "Ellis, come eat something, mum and dad is worried," Ellis didnt move.

..

"Ellis you are finally downstairs." Andrew sat on the sofa, Ellis sat down next to his dad," Your mother has taken Mackie out to have ice cream. Why are you like this?"

"Cameron started to talk about kids, wanting them, and I freaked, I couldn't even look after three, school is easy because I only have to see them during school aneld I depend on the other teachers." Ellis looked to his left, his dad was taking all this information,

" Son, I wasn't sure if I would be a good dad when your mother told me that she was pregnant with you, I still don't think that I am a good dad but I have tried and tried. " He said wiping his sons tears off his face. "Ellis, its not easy and never will, you will be only trying to do your best and that is the best you can do."

"I know that I shouldn't be worrying about this, me and Cameron are young but what if when we get to our late 20s and Cameron wants to have kids and I still don't feel like I want them," he turned his head away from his dad while he talked to him, "he will want to split up, date someone else, then marry them then have the kids that he always wanted and couldn't have before with me."

"Ellis, I know that you thinking about your future but at the moment, think about your work experience, college and everything, Cameron will be finishing University next year, you have plenty of time for the future." His dad said patting Ellis on the shoulder, stood up and then walked out of the living room.

To Cameron:

I am going to solve my problem with kids.

From Cameron:

Ellis, its fine, don't worry, we have years to talk about it.

To Cameron:

I want to have kids with you and the only thing that is stopping me is not able to look after them if they are not in school.
Please let me do this for myself.

From Cameron:

OK. Don't push yourself.
😘

To Cameron:

😍😍😘😘

Ellis put his phone down and went to his laptop, he went to the community page on Facebook and made a post.

Ellis status:

Hi, I was wondering if anyone would like a babysitter on the weekends at night. I can also help in the mornings as I work at the local primary school, I can take them to school if you need to get to work early.
Message me if you would like that.

He closed his laptop and went to his bed, he laid down and fell asleep. Later that night he woke up and went to his laptop, not expecting anything. He had 20 messages. He was shocked.
