Nameless

Chapter 31

-Erik-

After Emily's big speech yesterday I decided I'd be less demanding and try to get on her good side. I've already thought of ways to do that.
And I will do them. I will get her to love me as I love her, even if she doesn't want me. I have to try.

I'm in the cafe that we had our first kiss in yesterday.
I was just sitting there drinking my coffee when her roommate Hali and her friend Cassie come and sit down in front of me.
"What did you do to our best friend? Emily never cries ever and she's cried almost every night, at the hospital and here. So spill. What happened?" Cassie says with a death glare and I feel like I should be wearing a cup before they both try to rip my little me off of big me.

"I don't know what you're talking about, all I told her was that I love her."
Both of there faces soften and then they get angrier,
"The hell man?! You don't say that stuff to Emily ever!"
Hali And Cassie are going to kill me I can feel it coming,
"Why?"
Hali sighs while Cassie explains.

"Dude, she's afraid of commitment. Her parents are bad examples and so are her grandparents. She's convinced divorce runs threw her vains like a curse and she's never had a boyfriend for god sakes. Sure, she got her first kiss stolen by some jerk who tried to get her into bed but hey he deserved the kick to his jewels. But back to the point, she wants to just focus on her school and settle down before she even thinks about dating and love. She's afraid of it all and if you really knew her you would know that's her problem. She's had a hard life as it is heck I don't even know all of it and from what I know it's not good. But if you knew her at all you would know this and back off till you by some miracle got her unconvinced about her family and divorce!!!"

That's when I knew I messed up.
