Hi all! I'm back at college and I'm awkwardly the only girl on my course, oh dear...
Honestly, I wasn't much impressed with the last chapter but that's just me.
Cal came home from his first shift. He saw Ethan was playing Monopoly with Christian. When he heard the door shut, Christian turned his head round and saw his father, Ethan looked up from the board.
"Daddy!" Christian excitedly ran over and hugged Cal. Cal picked him up.
"Hey buddy!" Cal greeted his son. "You beating uncle Ethan?"
"Yeah! I got three more houses than him. Want too play?" Christian invited.
"I would love too but you need to go to bed. You got school tomorrow." Cal chuckled as Christian groaned. He put Christian down and he ran too his room to get ready for bed. Cal turned his attention too Ethan who was looking away with his arms folded on the table. "So you going to ask me how my first day was?" Ethan turned his head too Cal.
"How was your first day?" Ethan asked flatly.
"I'm glad you asked. Had a call too the ED where I saw a very disappointed brother." Cal frowned so did Ethan.
"I don't know what you want me to say Cal." Ethan sighed.
"I'm glad too see you're happy? Maybe. Something like that. Just a thought." Cal responded sarcastically.
"I'm not arguing about this Cal. You know how I felt about you joining the police." Ethan stated as he got up and walked to the kitchen area.
"It's not about what you want. Even you told me that..." Cal was right, Ethan did say that. Ethan said nothing. "Fine. I'll quit, come back too the ED, feel like a failure while you feel good about yourself and I thought I was the selfish one." Cal scoffed.
"Don't be ridiculous!" Ethan almost shouted. Cal walked over to Ethan.
"Just admit it, for once in your life. I'm better than you." Cal spoke as he towered over Ethan.
"You think you're better than me? Since Matt, you've been taking your anger out on me and your son. What if that was Christian you pinned against the lockers the other day instead of me? You scared him when you shouted at him for no reason other then to relieve anger." Ethan watched Cal feel sorry for himself.
"You know I didn't mean to do that! I told you I didn't mean it." Cal ran a hand down his face in frustration.
"I just don't think you thought this through, you jumped into the police too quickly." Ethan spoke honestly.
"For the first time in my life, I think I made the right choice and if you can't support me then maybe me and Christian should move out." Cal huffed.
"Please, a single parent with no guardian? Who would look after him while you work anti social hours?" Ethan had a point.
"I'd think of something. Hire a nanny or something." Cal quickly thought. Ethan wasn't convinced.
"Fine. Geez if this is what it took for you to move out, I should of done that ages ago!" Ethan exclaimed. Cal went to Christian's room
"Christian, pack some overnight clothes and your uniform. Me and you are going on a little adventure." Cal shared a smile too his son then frowned when he saw his brother. Christian walked out with a backpack.
"Uncle Ethan, aren't you coming?" Christian asked looking a little sad. Ethan was about to answer but was cut off by Cal.
"Uncle Ethan has got stay here and look after the place. It'll burn down without him." Cal lied. He then led Christian out of the flat then turned back too his brother. "I'll be back for the rest of mine and Christian's stuff when I get a flat." Cal then slammed the door.
Ethan sighed, slapped his hand angrily on the fridge repeatedly then looked back at the door.
Another little arguing scene. This will be the last one I promise! I'm gonna to finish this story on the next chapter or two as I'm struggling a little with this story and I don't think it's that good to continue so I might have to axe this story. We'll see.
