Bipolar for Him; A Joseph SoMo Fanfic (ON HOLD)

Bipolar for Him; Pt. 6

Joseph's POV:

Erika's been secluded for a couple of days now, which is weird. I'm worried because normally she'd be up already, her hair messy and still hadn't bush her teeth or taken a shower. She wouldn't do anything, but just watch some tv show on netflix. That's what I'd wake up to. She'd tried to be quiet, but she said she couldn't help if there was a major plot twist or something. She'd be up and at em' and when it was around 8:30 ish she'd come in my room and wake me up. That was the first thing I'd wake up to; her beautiful smile.

but today silence is louder than any of her shrieks or laughs and it worries me beyond belief.

I get ready to go and check on her; freshen up a bit, but then I see her at my doorway. Her eyes tired; maybe sleep-deprived or maybe tears. She's still in her long pajama pants and an oversized t-shirt.

"Uhm, my room was uhm... can I stay here with you for a little while?" she says slowly and then all at once.

"Yeah, yeah. Come over here."

I expect her to come out and say something. The oddest thing is when my loud and bubbly baby girl has retreated and become this little quiet and shy thing.

"I'm sorry," she starts. "It's just ..." I interrupt her, "Nothing to apologize for, love. If anything, I mean ANYTHING, is bothering you, I'm here for you. We all are. I'm here if you need someone to listen or watch a chick flick with or if you need to go punch someone or if you need me to buy you tampons and chocolate. Baby girl, I'm here for you."

A slight sigh escaped her adorable mouth and it was if I could hear her smile and after that her muscles relaxed. All the tenseness had been released and all was let was peace. A sense of serenity came over us and in that moment everything was perfect.

"Stay with me, okay?" she asks, as if it was even a question. I'd never dare leave her, but I knew that's not what she meant. I replied with a simple okay, kissed her temple and let her melt into me.

Erika's POV

I wake up cuddled in his arms. It's  almost 11. I gently remove his arm off my waist, cover him back up , and walk out the room. The rest of the guys are up in the living room watching some sport game that I wasn't really paying attention. I grab my phone and my jean jacket, slip on my shoes, and walk out the room and try to make sure no one hears me.

My phone vibrates in my pocket. It isn't Seph. It's Cody.

Got your stuff. Meet me at Main Street.

I try to hurry up with this. I've needed this for a while. I hope Seph hasn't woken up. I don't wanna worry him.

This is nothing. Just a fluke. I've just been out of it. That's it. That's the only reason why I haven't been able to sleep; why I've been manic. I've been really reserved lately. I wonder if anyone noticed. I hope not. I just wanna get this over with.

I run to Main Street.

Cody is outside is his car with the bag in his hand. I run to him and greedily grab the bag. I thank him. He hugs me tightly around the waist. He kisses the top of my head and says, "Take care of yourself, sweetheart." I smile and walk away.

Joseph's POV:

I wake up in a panic when I realize Ika isn't here with me. Relax, I tell myself. She's probably just in the bathroom or something. So I wait and wait and then it's 11:45 so I decide to get out of bed and get some food because I'm starved.

I go in the kitchen and grab a banana and some coffee.  "Where's Erika?" he asks with a smirk on his face. "Dude, you look like hell you should take a shower," Chad says.

"Wait, Erika's not here? I thought she just went to the bathroom or something." I say.

"Relax, she must be here somewhere. Check the rooms. Is there something wrong with her?" he asks.

"She's been looking a little down lately. Is she okay?" Avery says. "I don't know. She came into my room early this morning. She seemed out of it." I said.

"She's not in any of the rooms." Chad yells from the bathroom. I grab my cell and dial her phone. I hear her familiar ringtone and then hear the door close. She steps into the room in just her pajamas and a jean jacket.

"Hey, went for a walk. Why are you all looking at me like that?" she asks, like nothing happened. "Just didn't know where you were. Don't scare me like that,Ika." I walked over to her and hugged her so tight. "I'm sorry, just wanted some air. Can I grab some food from the kitchen, babe?" 

"No, I'm not letting you out of my sight." I said possessively. I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder and put her down on top of me on the couch.

"Uhm all right since that's settled, I gotta make some calls regarding the rest of the tour and you, Avery, have to go get these printed for Mr. SoMo to sign for his fans." Chad said. "I always have to do the manual labor." Avery joked.

Ika grabbed something out of her jacket and told me she had to go to the bathroom. I told her "tough shit, babe." "Well, then have fun paying the hotel to replace this couch because I peed on it." she giggled. "Fine, hurry." I said.

I got up because I realized I had to pee too and saw her opening a pill bottle. I opened the door and said, "Ika.." She jumped and dropped half the pills into the sink. "Goddamn Seph, you scared me," she said annoyed, "look what you made me do." Then my beautiful Erika turned into someone I've never seen before. Someone who was tense and angry, filled with hatred in her heart. She looked at me like I did something evil to her and in that moment I was scared because if she was capable of this, what else could she be?
