Ed tries to focus on a plan but is as hapless as ever

Their home was in darkness when they returned causing Holly to sigh in resignation that Idris had not returned from his earlier dramatic exit. Ed glanced over at his mom and felt empathy for her feelings of abandonment, did she feel the same sense of loss as she had when his father died Ed pondered. It was impossible of course since his parents had loved each other for a long time and enough to create him while someone like Idris was just a fling... The look of sadness on his mom's face made him hesitate on completing that comparison.

Once inside the house Holly made them a sandwich and Ed soon retreated back to his room, both to give his mom some space after her hellish day and him time to begin working on their problem. Despite his mom's warning Ed still felt responsibility for getting Preeti into trouble with her husband and the law, he tried to call her to check she was ok after their time in jail but the number rang out, he didn't leave a voicemail and after a moments hesitation wondering if he was making things worse with her husband he sent her a quick text asking if she was ok.

Out of habit he fired up his computer and the browser returned to the chyoa and pornhub pages that he had been looking at before he had heard Idris storming out of the house but Ed just didn't find himself in the mood for porn which possibly made him unique in history of male teenagers. Instead, in a rare display of apparent maturity, Ed browsed through a variety of job and help wanted websites seeking inspiration on how he could earn the desperately needed mony.

There was very little of genuine promise beyond the get rich schemes that required him to pay for access to secret instant wealth or what were obviously other types of Ponzi scheme that involved him directly swindling close friends and family.

Ed felt frustrated at his lack of progress after an impressive half an hours research so opened up Pornhub again to relax. He sat through the advert for webchat with camgirls and looked up some of his favourite models to see if they had any fresh content, he ignored that their accounts now asked for tips to show appreciation for their holy work of spreading happiness throughout the internet. He relieved himself while watching a POV clip of one of his favourite amateurs getting fucked from behind, the way her ass moved drove him crazy and he soon ejaculated over his hand.

Ed cleaned the spunk up as best as he could then went to the bathroom to wash properly. He was returning to his room after this shower with only a towel wrapped around him when he heard voices downstairs.
