It's like watching a film in fast forward, meeting Elekid Tuesday, nearly loosing him Sunday, read on. I will self edit any bits that I feel may infring the rules, but 18 is legal isn't it??? Not much to report from Saturday, but events tie each other up in a way. "F-it" - "Whats up El?" - "I got sacked today, can I work at your place?" It turned out he wasn't sacked just had an arguement with a Sv cause he wasn't helping during the busy times. "What are we going to do today", he asks continuing "Play pool, snooker, GOT TO YOUR ROOM..." (Wow, seemed unaffected by my affections.) We played snooker again, he beat me needless to say, but the scores were a lot closer. I had to play left handed, cause my right arm was hurting due to playing too much. I potted more balls as well. (I can use both hands in pool/snooker or one handed, having practiced on my own for many years.) We leave the site & go to the arcades on the sea front (not too far from the cliffs). "Wanna game of pool" he asks & we proceed upstairs to play. During the 2nd game I snooker him (a snooker: players ball is blocked by an opponent, so that he can't hit it) "are your being cruel to me" he says. "No I'm not, you know I love you" I say (oops). "What?" - "Nothing", "no, I didn't hear what you said" - "I said I love you" - pause - "No you don't you hate me" he replies jokingly. We finish our game & proceed downstairs where his younger brother is waiting playing the machines. Instead of a taller normal size 17yo, we have another 12yo lookalike sitting on the chair with a taller younger mate. "Hi C, you've gotcha bum chum with you". - "Halo, this is my brother C". We greet & briefly chat whilst El is getting change for the machines. El explains to C that we work together, but not in the same department. We leave the arcades & El tells me not to mention the "love" word or show any form of hand-on affection infront of him, cause he doesn't want his mum to know. We proceed to the fastfood joint "will you get me something to eat, you know you love me Dad". How can anyone resist such charm from this little guy. It's common knowledge in his department, that I'm friends with El & his workmate who joined when I did calls me Dad in respect of the friendship with El. He often says "are you looking for your son, he'll be along in a minute, he's just finishing up." Sunday, things took a turn. He had his own money today, about $35.00, only after getting me to pay for pool did he reveal it. (I actually won a game, only cause he potted the black during the 1st game.) That was when his attitude changed. It felt like he was trying to get rid of me "I'm meeting my mum soon" etc & "why do you keep following me, I'm okay, you can go & see your other friends." - "Your my only friend here" I tell him. "You must have others, what about those you work with" - "No" (the truth is you cannot trust too many people here, so I don't have real time for any except two close friends). The story changed in the arcades "My mum says I can't hang around with you" - "Why" - "I can't tell you, you'll get upset" - pause, slot, slot money goes into machine. "Theres nothing that will make me feel any worse than your attitude at the moment, so what is it". The painful expression on his face shows that he's really hurting. "No I can't tell you" he says - "How does she know about me?" I ask. "My brother told her" he says, "But he doesn't know me" - "Yes he does, he met you in the arcades yesterday. Anyway, my mum says I can't hang around with you, so you'll have to go & find your other friends." "El, your 18, your allowed to make your own decisions about what you can do & who you can see, what do YOU want". - Silence - "I listen to what my mum says" - "But she doesn't know me" I say. "Yes she does, I told her" (???) - "Told her what?" - "about you, what you did the other day". - "when I touched your leg & massaged it?" - "Yeh" - "But I did that to help you cause you were hurt." - silence - "El does she think that I've molested you? Your 18, its not illegal & besides I haven't & so I've done nothing wrong". - El replied "Someone tried it on me when I was 18 (his words) & he got arrested for it". We left the arcades I continued to talk to him. "This thing is hurting you alot" - "yeh & I'm gonna kill myself tonite" - "Why, thats what I'm here for, to help you with your problems." - "I don't wanna talk about it anymore and I've gotta go & meet my mum". I follow him out & he says "I'm hungry can we get something to eat" - I agreed, cause I won't see any child/person go hungry. "I need to ring my mum first to tell her." - We go outside "mum it's Ele, I'm with my friend (note friend) on site, can I stay out with him till 6.30" - turns to me & says "Damn, she's getting Dad" - He repeats the request adding "I'm here with my friend Halo, it's alright, do you wanna speak to him" (a look of horror fills my face) - He then agrees something & hangs up. "What did they say" - "They said no, I've gotta go back & meet them as planned" - "I didn't hear any swearing about you being with me" I asked "Yeh Dad swore (the plot thickens). Lets get something to eat." We buy food, although I'm not hungry (nerves), he insists that I share his meal with him, helping him eat the fries & drink some coke. We then settle down to watch a show & I ask him if he's okay. He noddes, trying to distance himself from the problems. Inside another arcade after visiting my venue to be told I'm due in in 20 mins (f that I've got a crisis on my hands, I'll be in late). He melts me with another show of affection from him. After winning the $10.00 jackpot he smiles puts his arm around my shoulder & says "I told you I can do it". I slip my arm around his waist to recipricate the gesture. After everything we've just talked about, he still values my company & friendship, he also called me Dad again I think. On the way back to the arcades, I bring the subject up again. It's met with "We're not talking about what my mum said again are we" - He then says "you upset me today" - "how" I asked - "by making me tell you all that stuff, I didn't want to tell you." - "I had to get it out of you, I can feel that it was really hurting you, tonight you will sleep better." - pause - "What did your brother day about me?" - "I can't say" said El - "He thinks I'm a Paedo doesn't he" - "yes, ru" - "No" - "Gay?" - "No" - "Well thats alright then." I finished. I tried to ask him about what sort of appropriate touching will be accepted by him. It's met with dismissive non-understanding questions. We enter the arcade in town again & he meets up with another friend of his. After 10 mins I leave them to it. It's my day off tomorrow (monday), but he doesn't know if he'll come for a drink with me, as he may be out with his mum (he says). Back at work I'm told off for being an hour late, but explain that I had a major domestic to deal with & everything is okay. During chats with P at work, he suggests that starsigns have a part to play in it, as Elekid is on a Cusp (crossing of two signs), he also mentiones a "Jekyll & Hyde" type of split personalities might be to blame for Ele's actions. I didn't get a chance to have a brainstorm with my other trusted friend at work who knows the whole Ginger saga & the fact that I'm a Bl/protector. He's not judgemental of anything & is so open-minded you could fit a baseball stadium in there. Does El only want me around when he's short of cash? Why is it that when he wants me to go away, he always comes back to me, as if he can't be apart from me too long either. Why the love me/hate me instant changes he shows, he'll walk away, cu later & then say "ru coming or what". I know his mum & dad know about me, but do they really know what happened between us that day? Is he substituting the word "I or me" for "mum", to hide his confusion at his own feelings. To be honest he probably did notice his body's reaction to the massage & is confused about why it happened. We haven't discussed that yet, but it may reveal more hurt for him. ....... Straight after posting yesterday, I arrived back at my room to find Elekid waiting for me. "Thought you weren't coming" he said. We then went to the uniform room, where he got himself a new hat, then came out & said "Can I have a cuddle" (melting me again). Up to the snooker room, I put an arm around him & he recipricated by resting his head on my shoulders. During snooker he cheated many times to help me win & said "You don't mind if I call you "DAD" do you Dad?" - I said it was okay. We proceeded through more arcades, jumping on a couple of racing machines "please Dad, can we go on this one?". We then left site & proceeded to the shops to buy some drinks for the evening & some food, as both of us had missed lunch. Whilst he was at work again in the afternoon, I finally got to see SIGNS, before meeting him again at 8pm. We bought some sweets & he phoned home to try & see if he could stay out tonight. We also watched a show & played snooker & the arcades again. When the money ran out & I refused to get more, his alter-ego, who I will call CUJO emerged (reasons to follow). His personality changed instantly "I've invited some friends over to your place tonight for a few drinks"!!!! My eyes glazed over in disgust & he left the arcades with a mood. I followed him. "You've upset me by talking about my family" he said. Continuing with "your not my friend", "I don't trust you, I don't want you near me". Then came the threats as Cujo grew more frustrated "give me MY DRINK" (the one I paid for), "if you don't I'll tell my dad everything about you" - That threat doesn't work, he continues - "I'll break down your door & get it myself, cause I'm stressed out" - then "Go away your not my friend, find someone your own age to hang around with. Your 30yo I'm 18, why do you want to hang around with me" again "Give me my drink". I couldn't get anything out of him, except that after that day he doesn't trust me being alone with him. This went on for 20 mins, until I gave in & went back to my place with him to get the drink. We got it along with some mixer drinks & sat on the wall & started drinking. I got through to him more. He was scared, afraid that I'll do something to him when we're alone. When the alcohol got into his system, he changed back from Cujo into Elekid again & he was my instant friend. "I'm going, are you coming or what." - I got another $15.00 out & we get a couple of cans of beer & drank them on a bench. We talked about that day again & yes he did notice the reaction. I told him it was perfectly normal & I wasn't doing it to make it happen. Again I said that he could stay with me if he wanted to for the night. He said he did want to, but his mum wouldn't let him. Back on the phone again he spoke to his brother "Bro says hi" (yes the same one who supposedly thinks I'm dangerous). He's starting work on site next week in another department. He calls his nan's again, saying that he's with his FRIEND Halo, saying that he'll be home after a couple of drinks. On the way back he says "out of your friends, who do you like the most "L" (the guy I brainstorm with) or me?" - Without thinking I start to explain that I talk to L about my problems, he interups saying "fine, you love L more than me, you want him more than me" & rides off. "I'll cu tomorrow" - "no I've got soccor" - "Whats more important, soccor or me" El asks - "Soccor, but if you had holiday time, I'd be more than happy for you to come with me & sleep over at my gf's house, she wouldn't mind." - again the familiar reply "I want to but my mum won't let me" - he adds "How much money have you got?" - "about $10.00" - "Can I borrow it off you to get some food." - "No I need it" - "okay you don't love me, bye". I got to the station catching him up "Do you want to meet my mum & dad, I'll introduce them to you" I said "no not for now" - not until I can find out what is false & what is true. His mum & dad are on the train waiting for him, no emotions good or bad or even a wave as the train goes. Back at camp, L suggestes that maybe El is struggling with his sexual identity, but rejects that theory later. On the star sign theory he says his fellow work mate (female), has exactly the same star-signs as El & displays the same "love craving emotions". He concluded that El cannot do without me as a friend, but thinks that when I won't get any money out, he thinks that I don't love him anymore. I explained that we happily play together, snooker etc, which doesn't involve money. We also agreed that I may be his only true friend on site, as no-one else wants to hang around with someone who looks like a kid (except me of course) & we laugh about it. ......... This morning he popped in the venue & I went with him on my break, we waited for a show. He asked for money, I didn't give him any. He opened his bag & pulled out some sandwiches (showing that he did have food on him, but just wanted to scrounge off me). To my surprise, but normal for him, he shared them with me. Whilst preparing to go out after work, he came to my room again, closed the door & we had some of that drink again (he'd left it with me after all that, last night). I put my hands on his shoulders "remember you said no touching" El said "unless you want it from me" I replied. "Can I borrow $8.00" he asked - "I haven't got much" I said "Can I please have at least $6.00, please, Dad" - I give him the money. He said that we'll finish the drinks together when I return & he left. I waited & wanted to hug him before I went, but he wasn't picking up the signals & just left & closed the door behind him.
