Dedicated to Sofia_Belle. Go check out her story: My Hero Sam Pottorff

Erika's POV

"I'm sorry." I said. I can't believe I just yelled at him. Goddamn, it's getting worse. "I didn't mean to yell at you." I say. I felt so guilty. He doesn't even look at me. He just stares at th pills and helps me with the mess.

"No, I'm sorry." he answers with a cold and icy tone. I screwed up. Maybe it was time to tell him, but I didn't know if I was ready for that.

"Erika, the truth," he says with an intent look on his face, "I need to hear the truth."

"I can't -" I start, before he cuts me off. "Yes you can. If you can lie about this (he points to the pills) then you can tell me the truth. I am here for you. You can trust me."

I break into tears. HOW DID I KNOW THAT? How could I trust him? How could I trust anybody? Everyone has turned on me and I didn't want to mess this up.

He takes my chin into his hand and lifts my head up. I look away, ashamed. "I'm sorry." I mutter.

He takes a hold of me and hugs me tightly. I gently pry myself out of the hug. I had to tell him, maybe not all of it, but I had to say something.

"Uhm, so about those pills." I start off. "Yeah," he replies with an easy smile that calms me down.

"Uhm, the reason why I am so good with my work, with projects and stuff is cause I'm usually manic when I do them." I start off. He doesn't seem disgusted or anything; just curious.

"Wait, manic... as in like bipolar disorder?" he asks and when I don't reply right away, "I'm sorry, you don't have to answer that."

"No, I owe you atleast an explanation. Yeah, I have bipolar disorder." I say staring down at my shoes. I don't know why I was so ashamed. Anytime, I'd ever had to explain that I had this, I was never ashamed. Sometimes, I was actually proud. I mean who else could finish a deadline, pull up a presentation, look and feel amazing at 3 o'clock in the morning like me? I found that very impressive.

"You don't have to look away from me, Ika. I actually think it's pretty cool. I was wondering how you got everything done so perfectly at these random times." I smiled and cried tears; happy tears.

"I should've told you sooner. You know what's crazy. I thought we had something going; like more than friends type of thing. That's ridiculous, right?"  I say giggling.

OH MY GOD WHAT AM I SAYING?  I liked him, a lot. The whole point of me not telling him was to make sure we'd be okay and I just ruined that in like 2 seconds.

"Yeah, ridiculous." he says with the smallest smile I'd ever seen.

Joseph's POV:

"Listen, I promised to meet up with someone today so I better head out." I said to get away from there.

"Oh, okay that's cool. See you later." she says and heads back into her room.

I totally was bullshitting. I had no one to meet up with, but I definitely wanted to.

I send a quick text. Need help, girl problems. Meet me at the diner FAST. I rush and pull on some jeans and a white shirt. Why would she say that? Ridiculous... RI-FREAKING-DICULOUS. I can't believe that just happened. I should be in there, helping her. Letting her know that I support her; that she having BPD made no difference in how I felt about her, but then she called us ridiculous.

I walk in the diner and sit in a booth and order some vodka.

Cody's POV:

"HEY BUDDY. Long time, no see. How come you don't visit me anymore, huh?" Joseph says.

He's been drinking. I can smell the alcohol from where I was standing. I've never seen him drunk; not like this.

"Man, what are you doing with yourself?!" I asked. I pay for him and get him ready to leave this place.

"I love her, man. I love her! She called us ridiculous." he yelled. "Alright, buddy." I answered back.

Who could this girl be? How dare she. Joseph is a freaking great guy. ANY girl of his choice would've been super lucky to have him. What makes this bitch think she can waltz into my friend's life like that and toy with his heart? He must have like really cared for her.

I text Chad and ask him where they were staying so I could drop him off.

At the hotel~

I put him in his room and go look for some aspirin and water. I check above the bathroom sink and find some, but before I close it I see a familiar pill bottle. No, it couldn't be. I pick up the bottle to check it.

ERIKA MAE AQUINO - take once to twice a day.

No, this couldn't be right. What? Where? Why? This made absoulte no sense. Why would she be here?

"CODYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" I hear Joseph yelling. I rush back, put the bottle back, and grab his aspirin and water.

"Here take these." I say. "No, you take them." "Joseph Somers-Morales, you take these pills now or I will make you take them!" I wasn't in the mood for this. I was so mad at the girl who drove him to this. I was even more confused to why Erika's pills were here.

"Seph." I hear someone say behind me.

"Look, Cody that's her, the one I love.The one who called us ridiculous." Oh this girl has a lot of nerve. I turn around ready to yell my head off and see Erika. WAIT WHAT? Erika was the girl who did this to him?

"ERIKA?" I ask super confused. "CODY? What the hell are you doing here?" she yells. "I could ask you the same, hun." I reply.

"OH, you guys know each other. How sweet. I bet she thinks you guys aren't ridiculous." Joseph says still drunk. Erika walks away.

"Hey baby, how you doing?" she asks Joseph. HOW THE HELL DO YOU THINK HE'S DOING? "Cody wait over there." Oh she's bossing me around.

"I- I FORGIVE YOU. I still love you, Erika." Seph says drunk. She puts her arms around his neck. He places his hands on her waist. What is she doing? Trying to seduce him? "That's good. I know you do, babe. I know you do. You promise you love me?" "I promise." he replies. "Okay then, you'll stop drinking then. You'll take your aspirin and water and then sleep for a while, right? For me.. cause you love me."

"Okay," he says. I can't believe this. "WAIT" he yells. "Yes?" she answers calmly. "One kiss." he says and before she can answer he smacks his lips onto hers. "Baby, you're drunk. Go to sleep please." "Okay, I LOVE YOU."

Just like that, he walks in to his room. No hassle, no stuggling.

"What have you done with him?" I spit out.
