————————————————

(Delirious POV)
I was still a bit surprised that Evan was here. He cleaned the whole house while I was trying not to cry anymore. But it was too hard. I really liked Eric and now that's he was gone was tearing my heart apart.

"So show me some your messages you two have," he said the next day he arrived.

I slowly nodded my head and logged in my account. My heart skipped a beat. I couldn't believed my eyes.

Oh my god! Eric wrote me a message? What?

I opened it with confusion mixed with happiness.

GamerBoy123: Morning, Delirious. I'm sorry to bother you again, but I was just thinking. I was wondering if you would like to meet me before my leaving. I would love to tell you proper goodbyes.
We could go to the dinner, if it's ok. What about today at 7 pm before that Italian restaurant in the center of the city.
I'm looking forward to your respond and have an amazing day!

My heart was racing and I started to smile again.

Oh my god!!! This is like a sign. I can't believe it. He wants to meet me. I have to tell him everything that I feel for him.

I glanced over Evan who was smiling.

"I don't know what to do! What should I write him? Should I say yes, and if so..." He interrupted me with his laugh.

"Calm down, Casanova. Firstly you should respond him. I think you two should meet."

I started to be a bit nervous from this meeting.

"Are you sure? It's today. I don't even know what to wear or what to say to him!"

"That's why I'm here. So respond to him simple yes. I think he'll get it."

I nodded my head and quickly responded to him.

I don't have time. I can't be ready till 7 pm. I need to look good for him.

"Nice. And now let's pick you some clothes for today."

I followed Evan into my room and my whole body was shaking while my heart racing. He helped me pick something nice and I so grateful for him, because with me it wasn't really easy.

I was ready to go. I hugged Evan tightly.

"Thank you for everything. And wish me luck." He nodded his head with smile on his face and watched me leave.

I arrived there on time. I found ourselves a place to sit and nervously waited for him. I was so happy and at the same time so nervous.

I looked at the watch and it was ten minutes past our arranged time.

What if he won't show up, like last time? What if something happened?

"Hey."

I was dragged to the reality by some voice. I looked at Evan with confusion.

"What are you doing here? He hasn't show up yet. Quickly hide before he will come." Evan sighed while I was still staring at the main door.

"He's not coming, Delirious." I looked at Evan and frowned while trying calm down my beating heart.

"What do you mean? Surely he will come."

"No, because he's already here."

I started to panicking after his sentenced and tried to find him in the group of people.

"Look at me, please." I did what he asked for.

"I'm Eric."

Why is he doing this? I really want to see Eric, why is he even here? Maybe he's just joking to help me from my nervousness.

"Don't joke about it, man."

"I'm not joking." I noticed his seriousness in the voice. My brain started to consume what he just said while denying it.

"What?" I mumbled.

"Hey, Delirious. Today was one of the best day of my life, because I was able to play with you again. You don't even know how happy I'm..." He started to talk and I recalled that it was one of the messages Eric sent.

What does that mean? He can't... he can't be Eric. There is explanation for this.

"You just read that in my messages on Xbox. Stop teasing me, man." He sighed and rubbed his face.

"Listen... I know what I did was really stupid and I hate myself for it, trust me. We were really bored with Nogla and Mini and they were pretty pissed that you hadn't told us about anyone from your love life. They thought it would be great idea to prank you. So we created an account... GamerBoy123 and we wrote you an email. And I really enjoyed playing with you and chatting. But then you said that you're falling in love with Eric and I thought that best idea was stop writing you. But you were devastated and I knew, you deserved the truth. So here it is."

I wasn't able to speak or move. I was just staring at him and feeling like stabbed right into my heart. I felt my tears slowly rolling down.

Prank. They pulled the prank on me. Eric is not real. Nothing is real.

"Delirious?"

I stood up without any words and started to walk away. I felt betrayed, hurt and confused. Evan stopped me in front of the restaurant.

"Talk to me, please!" I couldn't hear him properly as I felt dizzy and nothingness inside me.

"How could you?" I asked him silently.

"I'm so sorry. Jonathan please... give me a chance to fix everything." From the restaurant ran a waitress.

"Sir you didn't pay for the meal." I glanced over Vanoss.

"I can't... I just... can't." And with that I walked away.
