Chapter Seven

Erik's P.O.V

"I think Josh and I are getting a divorce.", she said.

"Shh. Shh.", I said. Comforting her.

No one is more hurt than me other than Colleen. It's painful to see that the person you love is hurt. She just got married a year ago.

She began to cry more. Poor Colleen.

"It's going to be okay, Colleen. I promise.", I said.

"Thank you so much.", she said. Still crying.

She continued to cry on my shoulder. I was getting tired of standing so I led her to my bed and let her sit down.

"How did this happen? Not that I need to know. Only answer if you feel comfortable abut telling me. Okay?", I said.

"I don't know. I think it's because we had a fight and we've always had a rough relationship and I haven't been talking to him for weeks and the love just kind of, I don't know, disappeared.", she said.

"I'm so sorry to hear about that. If you need anything just tell me. Okay?", I said.

"Thanks, I really need a friend like you.", she said.

We sat together for a long time until she finally fell asleep on my bed. I can't help but look at her. She looks so peaceful and beautiful. I can't believe a guy could have the guts to break up with her.

She deserves a guy that could protect her, love her and supply all of her needs. Probably not a guy like me. I can try but I don't want to step up and say my feelings for her in front of her face. I mean, she's still recovering. Even if I want to I just can't. I don't want to surprise her with another potential problem.

I was in the verge of falling asleep when suddenly Colleen woke up. I fixed myself quickly before I talked to her.

"Hi. How are you feeling?", I asked.

"Fine, I guess.", she answered.

"Don't be sad. You'll get through this. Just promise me you will be strong throughout this obstacle.", I said.

"Alright. I promise.", she said.

Colleen's P.O.V

I can't believe this. Seven years of love just gone. There's nothing I can do. I haven't talked or thought of Josh for weeks and our relationship has always been horrible. We always fought and my love for Erik is kind of a conflict with my relationship with Josh. I think divorce is the best and only way for both of us to be happy. But now I just can't handle it.

I stood up and tears bursted out of my eyes. Who am I gonna go to? The best person that I can go to is Angela but she's not here right now. Francesca? No, she's not here too. Steve? No. Kory? No. The only person who is present and is here is Erik.

I ran to his trailer to make sure nobody could see me crying.

I knocked on his door. I was nervous of telling him because I haven't known him for a long time. The door opened instantly.

He was in awe when he saw me. Eyes bloodshot. Makeup everywhere.

"What happened?", he asked.

"I think Josh and I are getting a divorce.", I  said as he hugged me immediately.

"Shh. Shh.", he said. 

I cried more because of his words.

"It's going to be okay, Colleen. I promise.", he said.

"Thank you so much.", I thanked still crying.

I honestly never knew he was this sweet until this happened.

He led me to his bed and let me sit down because he was getting tired of standing and he probably noticed that I was tired too.

He asked me what happened and I obediently answered.

"How did this happen? Not that I need to know. Only answer if you feel comfortable abut telling me. Okay?", he asked.

"I don't know. I think it's because we had a fight and we've always had a rough relationship and I haven't been talking to him for weeks and the love just kind of, I don't know, disappeared.", I answered.

"I am so sorry to hear what had just happened. If you need anything just tell me. Okay?", he said.

"Thanks, I really need a friend like you.", I said.

He can't be any more sweeter. He's an amazing person. I love him so much.

We talked more after that. After a few minutes I fell asleep in his bed. Even when I was sleeping I could feel his comfort and care.

I woke up after an hour of good sleep. I noticed that Erik was about to sleep when I woke up. I should've just pretended that I was sleeping so that I won't disturb him. I feel so bad.

"Hi. How are you feeling?", he asked.

"Fine, I guess.", I  answered.

"Don't be sad. You'll get through this. Just promise me you will be strong throughout this obstacle.", he said.

"Alright. I promise.", I  said.

I need a man like him.

I stood up and hugged him to thank him for lending his time and talking to me. I got out of his trailer feeling a little bit better and stronger. I needed some motivation and he gave me a lot of it.

I wiped out my tears one more time before I left . I feel like I should tell the cast about the divorce. I hope they will be supportive.
