Love of a Tree Hugger

Chapter 15

Eric POV

"Eric we need to talk." damn she looks hot when she is pissed.

"What the hell would I have to say to you amity?" I am trying not to laugh as I see her ball up her little fist.

"Well how about I talk and you fucking listen."

"Amity you better watch yourself. You do know I am a leader right? You better show me some respect."

"I am sorry. How can you be such a fucking cold hearted bastard, sir? She stress the sir part.

"If you have something to say amity you better say it because I am losing my patience with you."

I can see the little wheels in her head turn. She looks so damn hot right now. What the hell am I thinking. She is just another inniate. Nothing more. Nothing less.

"I knew we would eventually have to fight our friends and I know when we are in a battle we can't chose who we have to fight. But how could you stand there and laugh and smile while I have to beat the shit out of the guy I love my like own brother. Fighting zach was hard enough but to hear you laugh and see you smile made it torture."

Like brother? I thought she was in love with him. After overhearing her say her and Andrew were just friends because she had feelings for someone else I just figured it was zach. Fuck I scewed up.

"Amity i-i-i" I want to say I am sorry but I just can't bring myself to do. I feel so bad for what I did. "I don't have to explain myself to you. Now take your ass to lunch."

As she turns away I can see tears in her eyes. I never meant to make her cry. I never meant to hurt her. I figured zach would beat her and she would be so mad she wouldn't be in love with him anymore.

I am trying to fight my feelings for her so hard. I can't let her know I care but I need to keep her single till after inniation so I can maybe have a chance with her.

I can't let her know that when she walks into a room she makes it a happier place. When she smiles I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest. When she accidently stands to close to me my arms automatically want to pull her into me. Her laugh is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.

I have had plenty of one night stands but never anybody I have ever wanted to be part of my life. I am Eric the mean ruthless dauntless leader. I shouldn't need anybody in my life. I have spent the last three years building up this wall around my heart and making myself ruthless. She has been here less then a week and I can already feel that wall being chipped away.

Fuck this! I don't need anybody in my life. I am not going to tell her what I thought I felt. I am over it. I am not going to lose my reputation over some bitch. She will not break me.

I walk over to the punching bags and start taking out my frustations out on it. I was so focus I didn't even hear Lauren come in.

Lauren is like a sister to me. She is the only one I will take shit off of because I know it comes from the heart. She is so much like me except for where I am mean she is nice.

"What the hell did the punching bag do to you?"

"Just trying to take out some frustrations. You know how it is."

"What's wrong? And don't give me that nothing shit cause I know something is going on."

"It is nothing. There for a minute I thought I had feelings for this chick and then I realized I was wrong."

"Where you wrong or where you too scared to let somebody in?"

"Go to hell Lauren. You know how hard I have worked to get where I am now. I am not letting some bitch ruin it."

"Yes Eric because having feelings and caring for somebody will totally ruin you. You dumb shit. If it's the right person it will make you a better person not less of a person. And it would be nice to see you smile. Are you sure you don't care for this girl?"

"No I am not sure but I am not going to take a chance. I might lose everything I have worked for."

"You know who I would lose everything for? That hot redheaded inniate from amity. There is something really special about that girl. I saw here eating lunch with zeke, luke, uriah and some other guy. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. Think I can get her to play for my team?"

"No sorry I don't think she is lesbian. But I don't see what is so special about her."

She starts laughing "Then you are blind as a bat because half the guys here see it and some of the females."

I can still hear her laughing as she walks away and the inniates come back.

Then I hear four's dumb ass voice. "Back to fighting. If you have already fought you can practice on the punching bags or run."

And then I see her.
