Stuck in the Middle (sequel to fearless leader)

I Love You

Bang bang bang I woke up to someone knocking on the door I looked over and saw Eric with a pillow over his head blocking out the person knocking on the door "are they trying to take it of its hinges jeez OKAY OKAY IM COMING" I threw the duvet off and put a dressing gown on and walked to the door I opened it "I'm sorry I don't think you quite knocked it off its hinges" I snap at Max

"Well I'll try a little harder next time anyway where's lover boy" he laughed I laughed and shook my head

"Come on I'll get the lazy ass up he put a pillow over his head to block out your knocking by the way" I laughed Max smiled and sat on the sofa I went to the freezer and got a few pieces of ice out I walked through to our room and shook Eric "baby you gonna get up Max is here" I cooed he mumbled some profanities and shook his head "well I tried the nice way" with that I put the ice on his back he immediately jumped up and gave me a death glare I shrugged my shoulders and walked out Max was laughing

"If anyone else did half the things you do to Eric they would be dead" he joked Eric soon appeared looking like he had just been dragged through a bush usually he would be bothered but it was Max so he didn't care that he looked like crap "wow you look rough" Max laughed

"Well someone woke me up in a very cold way" he complained getting a coffee

"I did try waking you up the nice way" I argued he laughed

"You know exactly how to wake me up you little bitch" he laughed

"Oh I'm a bitch now am I" I raise an eyebrow

"Yea your my little bitch" he walked over and kissed me Max started making sick noises

"Someone pass me the sick bag" he joked me and Eric laughed

"Sorry forgot you where there mate" Eric sat down with Max and sipped his coffee I made myself and Max one and passed Max his and walked to my room
"Where you going" Eric asked

"To get changed I look like shit" I complained

"Aww I thought we could go for round two" Eric was obviously winding Max up but he was being serious at the same time

"Really guys do you have to do this now" Max made a face

"I'm just winding you up now what did you want to talk about" Eric turned his attention back to Max I walked into our room I got changed into black ripped jeans and a tank top with my leaders vest I tied my hair up when I walked out the room Max and Eric where laughing I shook my head and walked to the fridge

"ERIC DID YOU USE ALL THE MILK AGAIN" I turned to him Max was holding back a laugh

"I plea not guilty" I threw my hands up

"Then who was it the invisible man" Max was literally dying

"Could've been you know how sneaky he is" Eric kept a straight face while saying it damn he was good

"Yes I fucking do about as sneaky as Eric fucking Coulter" I put my combat boots on and grabbed my keys

"LOVE YOU" Eric shouted as I walked out the door

"HATE YOU TOO" I laughed and walked to the shop as I left the shop I bumped into Veronica

"How are you and Eric" she asked in a sickly sweet voice

"We're fine now" I answered wondering where she was going with this

"So I'm guessing he told you about what happened between us" she said I shook my head

"No so you can enlighten me" I was now gripping the milk so hard my knuckles where turning white I had an idea about what she was going to say but I wanted it to be wrong

"He came to me and I helped him with the stress" she smirked

"As in" I started

"As in we had sex how do you feel about that hm he came straight to me" she was going to continue but I smashed the milk bottle over her head knocking her out I stormed back to the apartment and unlocked the door with tears brimming in my eyes I slammed the door shut

"Babe what's up where's the milk" Eric got up he looked worried

"Over your little fuck buddy's head" he just stared at me "yea that's right I know what happened between you and Veronica after I broke up with you HOW COULD YOU ERIC GO RUNNING TO THE ONE PERSON WHOS BEEN TRYING TO SPLIT US UP FOR SO MANY YEARS" I was now crying Eric walked over and attempted to comfort me but I shoved him away I sat down and ran my hands through my hair "you know what Eric I wish I had gone with Four" he looked hurt

"You don't mean that" he said I looked at him

"Trust me I do your a cheating lying scumbag" I got up but Eric grabbed me by the waist and pulled me against his chest I tried to get away but his grip was too strong

"Just listen to me Tina, I love you what happened with Veronica was nothing I was drunk I didn't go straight to her I when to the training room and took my anger out on the punching bags then I when to the bar Veronica took advantage" he looked serious I pushed myself away from him he let me and I walked out the apartment and to the training room to get all my anger out I was still wondering should I believe him?

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

I walked out of the training room I had been in there for a good 5 hours it was now 3:55pm I walked to my apartment I walked in as quietly as possible Eric was asleep on the sofa with a whiskey bottle in his hand I took it out his hand and put it in the bin I grabbed a blanket and put it over him I walked out to the bar and thankfully Tanya a good friend of mine was there not many of my friends stayed most of them went with the loyal dauntless

"Hey you okay, you look a bit down" Tanya asked sipping her vodka

"No just had an argument with Eric I went to the training room came back and he was knocked out on the sofa" Tanya knew not to pity me so I felt comfortable telling her off me and Eric went through a bad time

"What did you argue about" she pressed

"He slept with Veronica after we broke up" she put a hand on my shoulder

"He's hurt you so many times why don't you just leave him" she looks me in the eye

"I don't know I try to leave him but he has this hold over me I always go running back to him it's like he's taken my heart and I can't get it back I love him Tan more than I've loved anyone I've told him things that I wouldn't tell my brother he's my world I can't function without him" I admired she smiled

"Have you told Eric how you feel" come to think of it I've never told Eric how I feel about him apart from I love him but I've never told him how much

"No" I get up and run to the apartment I burst in Eric is in the kitchen I walk up to him and crash my lips against his passionately he returns it with a smile when we pull away he looks at me confused

"Are you drunk" he laughs I shake my head

"No I just realized how much I love you and how I've never told you or shown you how much I love you" I explain he cups my face in his hands

"You show me in a million different ways how much you love me every day" he pecks me on the lips "does this mean you forgive me for being an idiot" he asks a hint of worry in his voice

"Of course you big oaf" I playfully shove him "now get back to cooking I don't want another fire" I laugh he turns his attention back to the food I go and sit down god I love that man
