In this story Eli is 14… and Dickie is seven…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elliot waved goodbye to his eldest son, Eli. Eli was going out on a date, with his girlfriend, Reagan. They had been going out for almost two years now. Everything was perfect. That is…until… that night, their two year anniversary.

Flashback

"Happy two year anniversary, babe." Eli said with a wink

All Reagan did was stare at the now star-studded sky.

"Reagan….Rea! Reagan!" Eli said shaking his girlfriend back to reality

"Huh, what…oh…yea…"she sighed coming back to reality "Yea…"

"Rea, is everything okay, are you okay?" Eli asked with a worried look

"Huh, my, what no I'm fine." Eli looked at her doubtfully "I promise Eli. I'm fine, just… just a little out of it."

Eli wasn't convinced.

The rest of the night wasn't much better, in fact it was exactly the same; Reagan spacing, Eli pretending not to notice…. But then it was time to go, and everything went tumbling down.

Short, I know, I'll update soon, promise, just seemed like a good place to stop, so here!
