I'll Fix Your Broken Heart (Lawson Fanfic)

Chapter Eight - Tell Me A Secret

(Ryan's Point of View)

We'd just watched Joel run out the house to go talk to Joanne. I sat back in my seat and pulled my phone out. Andy and Adam had headed out to go for a walk around the street. More like away to spy on Joel talking to Joanne. So that just left me with Erin. It was the first time it was just us alone. We'd always had Andy, Adam or Joel with us. I fidgeted with my phone awkwardly not particularly knowing what to say to her. She just looked around the room before standing up and heading over to the window. 

   "Wonder where those two have went to." she said. I looked over at her before speaking. 

   "Well Joel's away to tell this girl that he loves her basically so most likely they've followed him to watch." She turned back to me and nodded. 

   "Probably would have been better if they didn't though." she said with a small laugh. "I mean he's telling this girl what she saw was a mistake and that he loves her. He's not exactly going to want them two creeps hiding behind the bushes spying on him." I laughed slightly at that. I hated myself for feeling this awkward around her but something was annoying me. Something had happened and I couldn't remember. Ever since that first night, she hasn't been the same with me. So obviously something had happened that night when we went out to the club. 

   "True. I mean what if she see's them and thinks they're a couple of perverts." I said smirking, trying to hold back a laugh. Luckily Erin found it funny as she burst out laughing. 

   "Well Andy yes. You could totally mistake him for a pervert if you'd never seen him before. Adam, nah. He's not got a pervert look about him." she said with a smile. 

   "If they could hear us calling them a pair of perverts we'd be dead!" I laughed. She joined in with me and came back over to where she had been sat before. "So, Erin, we hardly know each other. Well obviously seeing as we've barely spoke since you got to London." 

   "Yeah I know that." she said, her voice now clipped and short. I sighed there. 

   "Well I can tell by your tone you clearly don't want to get to know me so tell me, what have I done? What could I have possibly done to annoy you?" I asked. 

   "You know what Ryan? Figure it out for yourself." she snapped before storming out the house. 

(Erin's Point of View)

I slammed Joel's front door behind me and stormed down the path. How the hell could he just forget that we had kissed that night? Yeah sure he may have been drunk but so was I yet I remember it perfectly well. The way I fell on top of him and how he gripped me tightly. How when he kissed me it genuinely felt like sparks and fireworks. I sighed and kicked a stone with my shoe and watched it skitter onto the road. I spotted Andy and Adam just ahead of me and across teh street, crouched behind a row of hedges. I knew they were spying on Joel. I made my way across the street and quietly walked up to them. I stood behind them for a minute or two before finally jumping on them, knocking them to the ground. The pair of the started screaming like girls while I almost wet myself laughing. 

   "Alright ladies." I smirked moving off the pair of them and sitting on the grass. 

   "You are a right bitch sometimes Erin." Andy said, his voice a little rough from the screaming. Adam was just silent obviously still recovering from the shock. 

   "Its what you both get for spying on Joel. Leave the poor boy alone to do this in private." I said.

   "We did. We followed him over here to watch but he went into the house." Adam explained. I nodded in understanding. Clearly a good sign for him. 

   "Where's Ry?" Andy asked. I scoffed and looked away from him. Adam just looked at me confused and Andy nodded obviously understanding seeing as he was the only person I had told about the kiss. 

   "What's going on?" Adam asked. Andy looked at me obviously trying to see if it was alright to tell Adam what had happened. I just nodded slightly. 

   "That night we had at the club, Erin's first night here. We all went outside for air but her and Ryan were still inside. Long story short, they were drunk, they danced on tables, fell off and they kissed. Now Ryan doesn't even remember it but Erin does. Erin likes Ryan. Ry has no idea. There long story cut down to a short one." he said, finishing with a big breath. 

   "So you like Ryan and he has no idea?" Adam asked. I nodded and looked down at my shoes. 

  "I mean how could he just forget? I was just as drunk as him yet I remember everything about that night! And he had the cheek to ask what he had done to annoy me. He should remember for himself." I said. Andy gave me the look I had come to know as 'Calm down Erin'. 

   "If he doesn't remember or realise then it's his loss. Anyone would be lucky to have you Erin." Adam said. I smiled at him. 

   "I know I was." Andy grinned and I felt happy and said at the same time when he said that. Just reminded me that I hurt him and I'm moving on now and he isn't. I just hope Ryan did remember. It was hurting me that he didn't I mean I've known him like three weeks and already I really, really like him. I just didn't want to get hurt.
