Chapter 6

I woke up slowly and grumbled, for some reason i had a wierd dream about my parents splitting up and my dad marrying Leons mum then Elliot having me all to himself. I shuddered at the thought before clambering out of bed, i picked up my phone and stared at the background, it was of me and Leon mucking out one christmas with our hats and those funny blowing things in our mouths.

I smiled as i remember the day so well, i opened up a new message and selected a name

Ellie - i cant make today, im ill, sorry

i sent it before chucking it back on the bed and quickly getting ready to go out with the boy i had chosen to go out with, i felt really stupid for choosing elliot but i kept reminding myself it was for his future which sort of made it worthwhile. I also hated lying to Leon but sacrifices had to be made.

*****

Mum wasnt in when i went downstairs but dad was and he handed me a bowl of cereal as i sat down and fumbled around with the spoon, my dad noticed this and sat down with me

"you know, most people actually eat their breakfast with the spoon instead of fiddling with it"

i shrugged and slowly began eating it, he sighed and shook his head

"your not meeting Leon today are you?"

i shook my head slowly but didnt look at him

"who you seeing then?"

i looked up slowly

"a guy named Elliot"

my dad nodded slowly

"a guy named Elliot?" he said, as if tasting the words to find out what he was like

"isnt that the guy your now tutoring?"

i stared up at him and nodded, he nodded and leant back

"you seem nervous though, you havent taken a fancy to him have you?"

i shook my head eagerly, that would be something that will never ever happen.. ever.

"course not, im only meeting him to teach him some stuff, hes so stupid"

my dad chuckled and leant forward

"well as long as nothing else happens and your ok then im fine too"

i nodded and finished my cereal in silence before handing my dad the bowl, he went to wash it up and i watched him wash it then dry it before putting it away, he looked distracted so i walked forward slowly

"dad are you ok?"

he looked up, almost breaking from a trance

"course dear, go have fun today"

i nodded slowly and went up to him and gave him a hug, he hugged me back before we pulled away

"i love you"

i gave him a kiss on the cheek

"i love you too dad"

he smiled and i smiled back before walking out to the hallway, he followed me and watched me as I slipped my trainers on and shoved my phone in my pocket, i was meeting Elliot at the mall in about half an hour which was good because it only took that long to get there anyway.
