Ich Liebe Dich (I Love You) An Erik Durm fanfiction

Home

****Hey all!!! I feel so bad for not updating in ages. sorry about that. i do have a good excuse though, several actually. Lolz. Well first i was on vacation for three months after school ended, then i lost my drafts and ideas for this story, then we moved into a new condo and we didn't have internet for a while. Plus about a week where i just didn't feel like doing anything because i was having problems with my...well with everything basically. Also i just wanted to hang out with my family and friends instead of writing. Anyway, without further ado the fourth chapter of Ich liebe dich***

The next morning I woke up and yawned groggily. Then I rolled over and stretched my arms, punching Erik in the face. "owww!!" he shouted as he jolted awake. "oh god, sorry, are you ok?" I asked while i stifled my laughter to make sure i didn't hurt him too terribly. "yea, its only pain" Erik said sarcastically "I'm just trying to remember when you got so aggressive." I burst out into fits of laughter until my stomach hurt and i couldn't breathe.

"Your face was priceless!!! Hahahaha!! Oh if only i got that on camera!!"

"I'm glad my pain gives you so much joy. "

"sorry, sorry," I said trying to contain my laughter " thank you for staying with me last night"

"You're welcome. I cant say i will do it again if your way of waking someone up is a punch in the nose"

"you call that a punch? that was a light graze. Psh, men are such babies. I'm kidding, seriously though I'm sorry."

"No its fine."

That afternoon Erik and Mats helped me move into my new apartment, which took way longer than it should have and we were all exhausted when we finally finished. We ordered food from the closest restaurant, then i made Mats go pick up the food.

"Erik? I have a question."

"Oh no questions are never good" he said smiling at me " I'm joking, ask away"

"well i know this is personal but I'm just curious, what happened with you and Stefanie? You seemed so happy together" Erik's smile was replaced by a dismal frown and sigh.

"Seemed is the key word there. She was with someone else.

"Oh. I'm sorry.You're amazing, and if she couldn't see that, then it was her loss." 

When Mats came back we ate and talked, then the boys left. An hour or so later my curiosity was killing me so I called Mats, after about the twentieth time, he answered. Very persistent, I know.

"Mats! Finally!! Took you long enough!"

"My god Anja, what's up?"

"What happened with Erik and Stefanie? He said she cheated."

"You asked him?? Did you not get my signal to not bother him about it?"

"Well yea but...I just got curious. Sorry."

"You and your curiosity." Mats sighed "and yea she cheated. Erik was really upset."

"Obviously. I mean who wouldn't be."

"Yes but this was bad. He never went out with me and the lads. He was eating badly, not sleeping much and playing horribly. It came to the point where Papa Klopp had to bench him. That's when Erik started recovering, I think he realized that she wasn't worth his career. He started eating right and training really hard."

"Can I just kill that ratchet bitch?"

"haha, yea I wanted to kill her as well."

"Why didn't he tell me about it though, we used to always talk about everything" 

"Don't take it personally. He didn't tell anyone. The lads and I noticed there was something wrong, so we asked him about it and he told us."

"I'm just disappointed, we all used to be so close"

"I know. You're here now though and we're glad. We are definitely not letting you leave anytime soon. Erik was really happy when I told him you were coming. The day you arrived, he made us leave to the airport about two hours early. He said he didn't want you getting here without a "proper Dortmund welcome". That kid makes me laugh."

"Hahaha! Did he really? That's sweet."

"Yea he did. Anyway I have to go, I'm picking Cathy up."

"Ok then, don't have too much fun now."

"Me and Cathy?? Psh never! I should say the same about you and Erik. Bye!"

"Wait, what do you mean?! Don't you dare hang up that phone!! MATS HUMMELS!!" I heard him laugh as he hung up the phone. Jerk. Mats is right though. I must admit I do have a little crush on Erik. Ok a big crush.
