Through Good and Bad

The Big Day

I woke up wrapped in Eric's arms and snuggled closer to get warm. He pulled his arms tighter around me. "Good morning beautiful." He said in his husky morning voice. His voice is sexy when he just wakes up. I smiled in content a leaned into his muscular frame. "You are so sexy when you try to cuddle closer to me." He laughed and I felt his body rumble.

"You're just sexy in general." I stated like it should be obvious.

"I know." He said as he propped himself on his elbow and looked down at me.

"And a softy on the inside." I smirked when he just looked at me in shock.

"Well, I wasn't a softy last night now was I." Now it was his turn to smirk. He knew he won this one, because, last night he was not soft. I looked down in embarrassment and my face turned red. "Wow, red looks good on you. Why are you embarrassed?" He asked.

"Because, last night was my first time. I don't know if I did well and I'm scared you'll leave me."

He grabbed my face in his hands and said, "last night was incredible, I couldn't have asked for better. And I will not leave you, ever. I love you Rose and don't you forget it. Now, I hate to ruin the moment, but we have to deal with-" he didn't get to finish his sentence because I interrupted him.

"I have to deal with Four. You have to go deal with other stuff."

"Oh yeah. Ok lets go. You can take a shower here and I will meet you at training."

"Ok, see you then." We gave each other a few more kisses and I went to take a shower. I ignored the pain between my legs and let the hot water soothe my aching muscles. Once I got out of the shower, I took a pair of Eric's sweat pants and put on my tank top. I was about to come out of his bedroom when I heard voices.

"Damn it Eric, I know she's here. I checked the security footage and it clearly showed her coming in here and not coming out. Why?" Four was screaming by then.

"I don't know Four. She wouldn't be in here because she hates me." I could hear the strain in his voice when he was saying this. But, his voice kept rising anyway, "you can even check if you want to." He said it just loud enough for me to get the hint. I heard footsteps approaching the door and I started panicking. I saw a closet door and ran into it. Closing the door lightly, I grabbed a hold of the rack and I climbed to where I couldn't be seen. It was dark enough to where I wouldn't be in the line of sight, but it was also putting more strain on my body than I'm used to. Footsteps were approaching the door and the door was flung open with force. "See, know where to be found. I told you she wasn't here."

"I swear Eric, if you're lying to me, there will be hell to pay."

"Why don't you shut your mouth and go screw that other stiff. I've seen you watching her. I've seen you talking to her in private, what is it you're talking about? Getting together and screwing each other. I hope you at least tell Rose. She should be the one to hear that you don't actually love her. Now get out of my apartment." He demanded.

With them walking away it gave me time to think. Why would Eric say those things? Does Four really not love me? It doesn't matter because I just cheated on him. I have definitely made up my mind, I am going to call things off with Four. I was in the midst of a thought when I heard Eric call my name.

"Rose, where are you?"

"In here, in the closet." I said. The door to the closet was flung open again and his voice came again,

"Where?" I dropped down in front of him and landed in a crouch. I saw him jump and I stood up. "So you heard all of that. I wanted to make sure you knew. Rose, I've seen them talking and watching each other. They touch more than there supposed to and I can't stand by and watch you get hurt."
