Cassidys POV
I still didn't know his name. "Hi." I noticed him staring at my neck. It had his fingerprints on it. He looked guilty. He was standing behind Dylans shoulder. Dylan and I were still holding hands. "Uh Dylan." I said making eye signals to look behind him. He turned slowly around and I could see the me guy tense up. He backed away and put his hands up. "I just want to talk." He stepped back again.
"Turn around, and leave. Before I hurt you. You tried to KILL her. GET OUT!!!" Dylan said pointing furiously at the door.
Thats when I stepped in. I slid off the stool and landed on my feet. I stepped in between the two boys and I barley came to Dylans chest. The other boy was shorter, than Dylan but still VERY tall.
"Dylan calm down. STOP." He pushed against me. He tried to shove me out of the way, when I stuck my hand right in the middle of his chest. He was very hot. Warm actually. I could feel his heart pounding. His eyes slowly traveled to me and he calmed down. "FINE." He growled out,"I will be over there. If you touch her, I will kill you." He grabbed my chin roughly and placed his lips right in front of mine, he breathed out onto my lips. Then he stood back up, straight, looked at the boy. Then he strolled over a few tables and sat down. Staring at us. I shook my head at him and looked at the boy. I sat back down on my stool and the boy sat down next to me.
He sighed then he started talking. 'I am so sorry. That day," He paused and continued. "I am Eric. I have NO idea why I choked you. I was angry with Dylan. He was always mean to me since Savannah and Raven. I doubt you know them. Anyway, Dylan and I used to be great friends. Best friends. It was a brotherly love and I wanted to take it out on someone. You just happened to be in my way. I am sorry." It all came out in a rush and I only caught a few words. "I wish that Dylan and I were still friends. I mean, we used to be best freaking buds. So I am sorry that I hurt you. And the bruises," He paused. "I hate them. I cannot believe that I did that to you, I am sorry."
"WOAH. SLOW DOWN." I said, motioning him to stop. "Did you say Savannah and Raven?" Uh oh. I didn't like where this was going.
"Yeah. Do you know them?" He said, clearly surprised.
"I know OF them." I sighed then I looked over at Dylan. He met my eyes and smiled. I couldnt help but smile back. Eric noticed and looked away.
"I accept your apology.: He nodded, happy that I accepted. "BUT" I said, (because there is ALWAYS a but), "I want you to talk to Dylan. Try to be friends again." He started to shake his head and I cut him off. "Listen, if it doesn't work then no problem. But if he will talk back, let him. If it gets ugly I will step in. BUT just TRY. A little trying NEVER hurt ANYONE"
He looked at me with disbelief. "REALLY? EVERYTHING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED THAT WAS BAD, WAS BECAUSE OF SOMEONE TRYING." He yelled. then he sighed. "I will try it." He slid off the stool and walked over to Dylan. I watched, and waited.
