Brave Angel

Chapter 6

Song for this story is "The Fire by Kina Grannis" thanks to every single one of you that takes time to read my story. Sorry i took forever to update i just have been incredibly busy with school that my stress level is up to 100% right now, but enough about me. Happy reading folks :) enjoy! 

 I find myself in front of Eric's apartment. What the heck am i thinking?! He's probably not even here. He probably doesn't want me to stay over anymore. I knock on the door. There's nothing wrong with checking. To my surprise Eric is not the one to open the door. 

The blonde who he always sits next to in the dinning room stands there blocking my view from inside the apartment smiling. "May I help you?" 

"Actually in second though you can't sorry to bother" I fake a smile and quickly turn around and walk away. I have two choices either go back to dormitory and beg Chris to let me sleep in the same bed as him to be at least a little safe or go back home just for tonight and try to make up some excuse on why i can't stay with Eric tonight.

Dormitory it is then. 

I walk quickly to the dormitory hoping that Chris is there. I'm physically and mentally drained. But like my dad always said the first days are the hardest. A weight is lifted off of my shoulders when I see Chris laying down on his bed looking up at the ceiling. I walk over to him quickly and lay down next to him.

"Hey" he doesn't look at me or push me off the bed like I thought he would.

"Hi" I also look up at the ceiling looking for something that might have his uninvited attention. We stay quiet for a few minutes.

"Thank you for defending Liz" Chris finally speaks up and i turn to look at him "You're a better friend than me" He finally looks at me

"Don't say that you're a good friend, I'm sure you would have done the same"  Chris looks away from me once again and sighs "anyways, before i forget, can i sleep with you tonight?" I quickly change the conversation not wanting for Chris to feel guilt nor beat himself over not being there for Liz. And even if he didn't want to help her, i would still understand. I probably would have done the same if i was in his place. Afraid of what Eric might do to me. 

"Umm sure but why?" He sit's up and looks down on me frowning a little 

"Long story" I sigh sitting up

He nods and scratches the back of his neck "Does Eric know what you did?" 

"Yup" 

"Are you in trouble?" I nod my head in response and Chris chuckles a little 

"what's so funny?" I say a little offended that he finds me getting in trouble with Eric funny.

"Nothing, just the fact that you should know better than anyone not to do those things because you know Eric will eventually be the first one to find out and get you in trouble. It's like you want him to be on your case everyday. If i didn't know you better i would say that you have feelings for Eric." 

"Well you are wrong and no you don't know me because you would know that I would do anything for you and Liz no matter what. Even if that means that Eric has to be on my case every single day for the rest of my life." 

"Sure, whatever you say" Chris chuckles once again and i punch his arms playfully 

"plus we both know Eric is Liz's property." 

"I seriously don't get what she see's in him." Chris frowns once again and plays with the string out of his blanket. Is he jealous ? Just as i was about to ask him if he was, Eric walks in. He stops right in front of us and crosses his arms.
