The Past - Erich Blunt

want.

Hi guys, I hope you're well?

This chapter has been such hard work and INTERESTING to write. My kitten deleted the first and completed draft of this and I've spent HOURS trying to get it back to how it was.

Very proud to say that this chapter is 1,500+ words!!

Due to the length of this and wanting to get this uploaded, I haven't whole heartedly edited this. My apologies for this.

After reading (or during) please make sure you eat, drink and sleep because you deserve it!

Love you all and enjoy.

Here is want.

Adele made her way through the lobby and back up to the room.

She was pissed, more than pissed.

She was angry.

In her eyes, Erich had no right to take control of the situation like this. This was her issue and not his, so why did he have to 'save' her. Of course, a side of her wondered whether she was too harsh on Erich and that she understandably still resenting him for his actions.

"Adele wait."

Erich was still desperate to catch up to her.

Adele ignored him and turned the corner so that she was now outside their room, the key fob wouldn't work so that allowed Erich to catch up to her.

"Stop fucking ignoring me."

The pair were stood in the doorway of their room. Adele seriously didn't want to speak to him.

Eventually, the key worked and Adele got into the room. She picked up her suitcase and began throwing her clothes into it.

"Adele stop, you're not thinking."

She continued to ignore him.

Erich was now losing his cool, he hated being ignored.

"Fucking speak to me."

He reached his arm out to Adele to stop her from packing anymore clothes, he tightened his grip on her.

"What's there to say? Every time I happen to be in some type of trouble, you feel the need to rescue me and fight my battles. I can do it myself, I don't need your help."

"You know I didn't mean it like that, that ass hole deserved it."

"But it's not just him Erich. When Cassidy got taken by Kevin, you didn't care until I stepped in and contacted Cindy. Even then, you took it upon yourself to create a plan to 'protect' us when in reality did it really work? I had it in control and you decided to get involved."

Erich scoffed and pushed Adele against the wall.

Adele looked up at Erich, confused at his sudden change in demeanour.

"This whole victim complex you've gotten is pathetic. You never had this issue before, why is it only now that you're bringing it up? If you're treating this as a revenge act on me because I fucked up then you can stop that right now because I've done everything you've asked of me. This isn't fair and you know it."

Adele swallowed hard and tried to look away from a smirking Erich who was hanging over her.

"I know Erich, I know."
