Mutant Apocalypse (Mutant Love Series) [X-men Apocalypse/ Erik Lensherr FanFic]

Chapter 1

When was the last time that I felt genuinely happy? It feels so long ago. I would say when he was here with me. When he was on our side. Then he wasn't and left, came back 10 years later to help. Betrayed us again. Disappeared only to pop up and surprise me with kisses and touches of his undying love. And then he was gone in the night for good.

Years have gone by. Things have changed. I think I've changed. For better or for worse?

That's easy; worse.

I don't feel like I am who I was before. I've think the others have notice as well. But I'll keep smiling to ease their minds. I blame him, Erik Lensherr. But I also blame myself for thinking that once he'd left I'd be okay. There's not one thing I wouldn't do for my sister to be happy. But what about me? What can I do?

What I've done for these pass years and most likely forever.

Smile.

Smile to mask the hurt that I feel inside.

EricaPOV

I sat in the middle of my bedroom. Or should I say our bedroom. Letting my thoughts drift like clouds in my head. I had a restless night and soon gave up and just watched Charles sleep beside me until morning came. Now my husband was up and about. Wheeling down the halls with Hank to get the kids up and ready for a brand new school day. I could hear their running feet down the hall as the kids all went down for breakfast before classes started. There were things that were on my mind. Things that made my brain feel numb. I bit my nail, staring at nothing.

"Erica?"

There was the creek of the door, along with the sound of small thuds along the wooden floor. A light poke to my shoulder, then something tall hit the back of my head. A pencil. It lifted off the floor and floats up. I turn my head and saw Sofia who had her hand out for the pencil to land on. She looks at me with concern. I notice that she always seems to look at me with that now.
