Section 11

A stinging pain rushes through the side of my face, I sit up quickly from my deep sleep. The first thing I see is Eric's smirking face looking at me, I'm shocked at first to see him but then I remember that I slept in his room last night.

I put my hand to my cheek and rub it slightly, "What was that for!?" I say sternly.

"To wake you up! And for some payback of course." I roll my eyes I stretch my arms and then I crack my back, multiple crack sounds come from my spine and Eric's eyebrows furrow.

"That mustn't be healthy." I laugh a little.

"I slept on the floor a lot while I was in Amity so I think that's why my back is so bad." I admit to him, he looks shocked by what I've just said.

"Why did you sleep on the floor?" I laugh a little because of the reason.

"We had a horse called Misty." I cup my mouth with on hand and look around the room, "My name choice." I whisper making Eric laugh, I love it when he laughs, he looks much more attractive. "As she was my horse I liked to be around her so I would sleep in the stable when I got a bit upset or just to escape the house after my dad d....." I stop in my tracks, I have never said this out loud, I got a bit carried away. Eric frowns at me, his features sad.

I shake my head and try to think of another subject. "What's the time?" Eric looks at his watch.

"12:30."

"WHAT!" I scream, I grab the covers back and jump out of the bed and quickly put my boots back on. "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!"

"Where you going?" Eric asks putting his hand on my arm.

"To work! Mick will kill me!" I try too get away from him but he stops me again.

"You're just wearing my top." He looks down at my bare legs. I grab the belt from the dress I was wearing yesterday and put it around my waist and pull Eric's top down, because he is taller than me (much taller) his top goes to a little over my mid thigh.

"Improvisation!" I pick my black hoodie off the floor and wrap it around my waist and leave Eric's bedroom, he's hot on my heels. I turn around quickly and he nearly walks into me.

I walk back quickly into his bedroom and make the bed look half decent before picking up my dress from the floor. "Can you keep this here for me please?" I hold out the dress so he knows what I'm talking about.

"Yeah I will, are you going to eat?" I put the dress on Eric's bed and think about his question, I can't go for lunch as there won't be anything there and I need to get to work as quick as possible, but I haven't had breakfast but Hugh might have something in his office.

"No, I don't have enough time." I walk towards the front door.

"Wait one second." Eric says before he goes through the arch to his kitchen.

About 30 seconds later he comes out with something in his hand, he comes towards me and holds out a breakfast bar to me, I take it and read what type it is.
"Thanks, I won't faint now." I laugh and I begin opening the chocolate chip and oat breakfast bar, these ones are my favourites.

"Your welcome, now get yourself to work." Eric opens his door and ushers me out.

"Thanks again, I really don't know what I would have done. Also I'll come back and get the dress later, if, that's alright?" I say stopping outside his door before I begin to walk to work.

"Yeah come whenever after work I'll probably be here." I nod my head and start fast walking to work.
