Intertwined

***** WARNING!!! This chapter may be a wee bit awkward for those of us that are squeamish with all things intimate. My apologies. Hopefully it isn't badly written. Enjoy sweet peas!****

Erik's P.O.V

I was upset. And angry. And frustrated. I hate feeling this way. Especially about her. Why does it even make me so annoyed that she's going out with someone else? I already knew the answer though. Because I like her, and I thought we might become something. Her eyes. Her voice. Her laugh. Its driving me crazy. Denying my feelings just makes them stronger. I walked downstairs to get a glass of water and found Mats's girlfriend sitting at the table. Fuck.

"How was the park?!"

"It was fine." She furrowed her eyebrows.

"Doesn't sound like it was fine. What happened?"

"Nothing. It doesn't matter."

"It does matter if its bothering you."

"Why do you care so much?! I don't want to talk about it!" I slammed my hand down on the counter making Cathy jump. Damnit. Calm down she's just trying to help. I told myself.

"Cathy, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled."

"You're right. And I care because I want to see you happy. Really happy again. And I know you and Anja are perfect for each other."

" Perfect or not, it doesn't matter." I said glumly looking out of the window.

"Why not."

"Because she's going out with someone else."

She blinked. "Oh."

"yeah."

"I'm sorry. I dont know what she's doing, but I know she does care about you. I would go over there and tell her everything."

" I'm not you, Cathy. And she doesn't seem to care."

"I know she doesn't seem to right now but..." She looked so sad. It was nice to have friends like her, even if she drives me crazy.

"Its ok Cathy, you tried. Anyway, did you eat dinner? I can go get something."

"Mats is brining stuff back for everyone. I just stayed to wait for you. Thanks though."

"Alright. I'm just gonna go to my room. I'm not really hungry."

"Erik," she called after me, "is there anything I can do for you right now?"

" No thanks. I'm fine, Cath."

I went to my room and look locked myself in with my self pity. Very childish, I know. I laid on my bed, face down, feeling defeated.

Anja P.O.V

I'm not nervous, I'm excited I reminded myself as I knocked on Erik's door. This is still ridiculous, storming in here at 10:30 pm. No response, so I tried the knob. Locked of course.

"Erik, it's me, I know you're not asleep. You have to let me in."

"Do I though?" Came the muffled response.

"Come on, I need to tell you something!" I shouted desperately through the door. There was some shuffling, then the door opened.

He didn't get the chance to say anything since I had already engulfed him in a hug. When we separated I began talking rapidly.

"Erik, I am so sorry! I was stupid and just wanted attention. I wanted you to be jealous and I was so dumb! I'm the most fucked up human being on this planet, and i wouldn't blame you if you never spoke to me again but I hope you do because I can't stop thinking about you and i love everything about you! And you probably think I'm crazy, and don't even care, but Erik I love you! Now you can say whatever you want."
