Not just an initiate

Chapter 8

ERIC POV

I had been walking aimlessly for hours trying to think of possible ways to get her to tell me what happened if it was any other initiate I wouldn't care but it was her something about her made me want to hold her and never let her go I wanted to protect her from everything but she wouldn't let me it hurts to know she thinks I'm a heartless person who takes pleasure in hurting people if only she knew what she was doing to me what ever this Ryan fella did it must have been bad for her to react like that I needed to know who he was I went to my office and looked for his file lucky there is only a few Ryan's so it didn't take long to find him I pulled out his file unfortunately it had nothing useful so I decided to track him down I went to his apartment and knocked on the door I heard a thud before the door was opened by a shirtless Ryan

"WHAT" he shouted I raised an eyebrow

"I need to talk to you inside" I demand

"Cant this wait till later I mean I'm kind of busy" he says rubbing the back of his neck

"No it can't" I snap and barge in

"What do you want Eric" he says

"Chelsea Peterson, what's going on between you two" I ask

"No clue what the fuck your on about I hardly know the girl" he replies

"How do you explain the panic attack when you walked in" I ask hoping to break him

"I don't know ask her" he snaps

"Trust me I will and when I find out people aren't going to be able to tell the difference between your but and your face" I threaten before walking out in search of Chelsea

~2 hours later~

I had walked round the whole compound but couldn't find her I was starting to get worried I was about to give up when I walked past Four

"Four have you seen Chelsea by any chance" I ask

"Not since training why" he answer alarm bells where going off in my head what if she's done something stupid

"Four you don't think..." I trail off not being able to say it

"She wouldn't would she" he says

"I don't know her state of mind hasn't been very sound" I say with that we both run towards the chasm but we are stopped by Zeke

"Max needs you at the Chasm a body's been pulled out" my heart drops me and Four look at each other and prepare for the worst we make our way to the chasm where a body lay Max looked distraught while Erudite surrounded the person I walked up to Max

"Who was it" I ask

"I...it was...Chelsea" he chokes out I feel my heart break

"Why are Erudite here" I ask

"She's still breathing so they might be able to save her" he answers not taking his eyes off her

"She will live Max she's the strongest person I know" I try to reassure him but deep down I knew she won't fight if she doesn't want to live it was all down to her

Chelsea POV

I walked out of the infirmary I wanted to tell Eric but I couldn't Ryan would kill me if I did I walked to the shop and bought two packs of beers I made my way to the chasm a peaceful place where I could forget all my problems I drunk can after can my mind slowly becoming hazy I looked down and watched the flowing water as it sprays and hits my feet I think of how my mother died it should've been me I close my eyes and think of all the issues I cause I think I'm brave but I'm not I'm a coward hiding behind a mask I open my eyes people would be better off if I was gone I stand up and take one look before I jump it all goes black I'm free...
