Before he had adopted anyone, life was drastically different. Things weren’t so loud, and he certainly didn’t need to buy earplugs in order to get through a day’s work. The child wasn’t an infant, that much was great, but at the ripe age of 4 the kid was able to wreak havoc all over the single floored house and even managed to break a thousand dollar laptop. Thankfully, the same day someone had spotted his less than ecstatic mood. And though, that was something quite common for the graphic designer, Apollo likely seemed much more out of sorts than usual. Especially for his neighbor to see the need to ask him if he was alright. Normally, he would have denied the claim, but he was at his wit’s end and didn’t waste a moment to beg for some help.
Today, it was agonizingly hot, and the child was begging to go out. Unable to quell it’s screaming and crying, Apollo quickly grabbed his cell phone, praying that his neighbor would pick up. Getting the answering machine, Apollo ignored the sound of the machine and immediately began talking. “--Shut up, machine. Let me talk. Eros. Eros? Are you there? Pick up. Hey, I need you. I know this is a little tiring And I owe you big time but can you pick up? Please? I’m dying -- don’t cling to my leg.” “PAPA! PAPAPAPAPAPAPA! ” Another voice could be heard faintly in the backgroun. “Shh. I’m talking. Let me talk okay? Just - ugh. Eros?” Stressed, Apollo held the phone, making the message extra long not realizing that the child wasn’t trying to talk to him while he chanted the double syllabled word. He was excited to know his father was talking to his ‘papa’ and the possibility that he might come over.
