The Maid of London

Chapter 10

   Eric sat on his bed in his bedroom feeling tired and mentally exhausted . His talk with his biological father , cause he was a terrible just terrible father , had drained him.

    All he wanted to do now was hook up with some girl , sleep with her and then take a shower and sleep as well. But for some reason the thought of banging or sleeping with another girl seemed....... bad ,unnatural ? 

    It was as if something was warning him not to do it . Which itself was weird if not frightening .

   Wait a minute.......... he hadn't slept with anyone in over 2 months ?!?!?!

    Eric nearly screamed in horror . That was so unlike him, so out of character yet in-character at the same time that it even confused Eric .

    So when the phone rang , Eric was in the middle of a existential crisis .

    He hurriedly picked up the phone not bothering to look at the name of the person who called him .

    "Hello ?" he said .

   "Eric it's me" said Joseph , his father .

    As soon as it came , the crisis was averted and Eric was in anger mode now .

   "What the hell do you want ?" he spat venomously .

    He heard a sigh on the other end and then his dad spoke up : "Eric , i called you because one of your friends is in danger . According to my resources."

    That threw anger out of the window and worry and fear entered . "Wait what do you mean ?"

    His dad replied : "My resources say that the Anaconda Mafia is planting a bomb to kill your friend whose on her way to your house through the "London Bus Services" Bus. Do you know anyone ?".

     The last sentence was what truly made Eric go into full on Panic Mode . He immediately said Good Bye to his dad and cut off the phone without waiting for a reply .

   He immediately grabbed his gun from the secret compartment in his drawer and loaded it and turned OFF the safety . 

   With a determined and panic look , he ran all the way down and directly towards his car and without waiting for the driver , drove off alone towards the bus stop.

    After a drive of 10 minutes ,which would have been 15 had he drove a little slower, he finally arrived , but it was too late .

    He saw just in time a car go towards the bus and explode , the driver of the car jumped out and ran away , the bus on the other hand began to tumble over and literally rolled on the other side doing 2 complete circles . 

    Eric had his jaw dropped , tears were on the brink of his eyes. He just stood their frozen in shock and fear for her.

     Tears were now streaming continuously. It wasn't until the ambulance arrived that Eric finally broke out of his trance , he stumbled towards the ambulance , taking shaky steps. That's when saw it , people getting out of the Bus , alive. 

    And that's when he saw her .

_________________

    Natasha slowly regained consciousness . She felt as though she had drunk 3 bottles of beer or as if someone shoved a cotton up her brain, her head was incredibly fuzzy and she had a massive headache .

   She touched her forehead and winced in pain . She looked at her hand and saw blood, her blood. That's when she remembered what had happened . Her head had hit the metal pole .. hard..........

    She stumbled her way out of the bus through the emergency exit . She saw some people going out as well, some had blood dripping as well and some were still unconscious .

   She finally got out of the bus and looked around to see Chaos. People were being carried to the ambulance but she ignored everyone. Her head was still hurting a lot and she couldn't think straight.

    But when she glanced at the parking lot , despite the large crowd and the noise that assured the chaos behind her, she saw him ,Eric.

   He had tears streaming down his face and he was looking at her direction.

    Then all of a sudden he started to run towards her. Despite the pain, despite the blood dripping down her face, she managed to smile.

    Because Eric was always there for her . He was their for her as a friend or even a best friend when she needed him to be , he was always there to make her laugh , he was always there to make her feel comfortable, he was there when she needed money , he was there when her mother had the surgery , well he wasn't physically there but he saved her life , he saved her mother's life , he will always be there whenever she would need him .

    Natasha had no doubt about it now. She finally understood her feelings, she finally understood what she was feeling , the weird feeling was love.

    She was in Love with Eric ...............

     "I LOVE ERIC !!!!!" she thought with a realization smile .

     She opened her arms towards Eric who was still running towards her . It was all in like a slow motion for her . She had tears of happiness and she was ready to embrace Eric . and confess her love .

     At least that's how it was supposed to go.......

   Eric ran towards her but instead of embracing or hugging Natasha he ran past her........

    Natasha who still had her hands up ready for a hug that never came looked at him confused and saw him running towards something ..... or rather someone else .

   And when Natasha fully turned around she saw her . A women with black hair getting hugged by Eric , getting the hug that she right now so desperately wanted .

    She watched as the women and Eric hug each other and stare into each other's eyes like as if they were lovers.

    Before she could fully feel the heartbreak or cry from heartbreak , she felt another massive headache attack her, and then she lost consciousness again and began to fall down . 

    Whether she hit the ground or not she didn't care nor remembered , she had blacked out . The only thought in her mind was that "Eric didn't even notice me here . He ran past me to HER."
