Live For Me

Chapter 8

"He is against us" I whisper with a strong gesture of confidence that we are actually something. She just kept quiet and stare at the floor blankly. "Let's go shopping" I said flatly and smirk at her naughtily.

" I have class, Eric" she said sternly. "Why don't you skip class today?" Like why not? Its already half of the day and she doesn't seem to mind that her class started minutes ago.

I chuckled and grab her hand. All I wanted to do is get rid of the thoughts that made her cry just now and my bullshit talk. I'm used to girls that like shopping but she doesn't seem enthusiastic about this.

We walked out of the closet casually. Until a teacher was heading towards us, I just pulled her head to my chest. Well she seems to bare for a few minutes until the teacher walk pass us. Still the same expression towards the floor like she always do.

I don't understand why she is always frowning except when she is around that kid. She talks to him very casually even with her hatred face. I opened the door to the passenger seat for her as I cover her just in case anybody would think wrongly.

Getting myself into the car, instantly starting the engine and drove away from school. I grabbed her hand softly which was on her lap and said,"Thank you" as I smiled humbly. She rolled her eyes and gave a you-are-ridiculous smirk.

We drove in silence, momentarily beautiful. I never felt more in love with her silence. For now its just so calming instead of hearing her cry of sadness or scream in pain.

One of the things I keep on wanting to be with. She is calm in the outside and screeching with sirens and bombs in the inside. But this is one of the temporary moments that both, internal and external is calm. She is a phenomenon.

Before we could reach the mall, she ask me to send her home. We were only half way to the mall and she already gave up. I nod, I chose to follow what she instruct me to do for today. As reward of being extremely emotional but not even trying to kill herself, and also obeying me when I pulled her.

Somehow, she looks like she is in guilt of canceling my plans because she never done it before. "I'm sorry" she said with a low voice. I shook my head cheekily. "I'm sorry your boy can't make your day better" she snapped her head at me. "He is not mine".

I parked the car in front of her apartment. And stared at her with a raised brow. Even though I don't want to lose her, but I also want her to have her freedom. One of the reason I'm not with her all the time especially at school. She grunts and jumped out of the car and slammed the door, very hard.

After thinking back what just happened, I realized she has been rubbing her stomach most of the time. I know what she is up to, I've expected this a long time ago. I bit my lips followed her to her house. She stomp as she climb the flight of stairs tiredly.

I was right behind her when she was about to enter the bathroom. Then, I was sure its that time of the month again, confirmed. I better stay away, "So...I'm going to go now". She glared at me unpleasantly, "you should had left earlier".

I gave her some ointment that coincidentally was inside my pocket. " for your stomach cramp" I glared back at her.

•This is actually Eric's P.O.V. well I can't differentiate between Eric and Dustin or is it just me. I don't know how a 30 year old man thinks especially the ones that are sad or desperate so bear with it, guys
